  • Desktop Backgrounds- Have lost the ability to load, install and display additional images
    • When I browse to an image I would like to use for a desktop select it and click it will not load or display in the Display Properties dialog box nor will it display on the desktop. I have even tried by coping selected images into the C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper, which I have done before, they are still not displayed. I have routinely stored images I want to use for a desktop background in the C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper and have been able to use them at will. Prior to reloading this particular machine I was able to use any image I wanted to. Can anyone give tips on what might be wrong. The reload was with an original XP SP3 disk.

  • repair a windows installation from within ANOTHER installation
    • Ok I hope that I am explaining this correctly: I had an issue with windows xp, and I wanted to repair it, but for some reason my disc (dont ask why) didnt give me a choice of repairing the windows installation..so I just installed another copy (now c: \windows.1 lets say) I dont want to go through the hassle of fixing everything, reinstalling my shortcuts, etc....I just want to be able to repair my ORIGINAL windows installation c:\windows. Is there a way, from the windows.1 installation, to repair the c:\windows installation? like doing the sfc /scanow but to scan the original windows installation?

  • Restrict login to one network user
    • I would have a workstation using XP professional connected to a domain. I would like to have that workstation only allow login by one specific network user and the local machine administrator As things are configured now anyone with a network ID and password could login there. I want to restrict that to one user who has specific network security set up. Can I have the workstation automatically startup to that user and only allow access to the administrator if safe mode is entered? Thanks

  • Keep posts from disappearing in xnews
    • My Xnews newsreader is not showing posts which have been read. I tried pressing U but that doesn't remove the filter. The help doesn't make sense to me. How can I show all posts at Xnews including the ones that have been read.

  • Computer doesn't switch off automatically.
    • I have a computer running Windows XP Home. Until recently to switch this off I'd START > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off. This would then tell me "Saving your settings" followed by "Windows is shutting down". The computer would then switch off automatically. Then, inexplicably, it stopped switching off automatically but just hung at "Windows is shutting down" - leaving me to hold down the POWER button to switch off the computer. Thinking this was a problem within my Windows I re-installed it expecting that to resolve the matter - but again it hangs at "Windows is shutting down". What must I do to get it to shut down automatically again? My other computer, also running XP Home, shuts down automatically as I wish this one to do. TIA of any replies. -- DB.

  • Laptop won't come out of Stand By
    • Hello I purchased a used Dell D620 laptop a few months ago. It is working fine except for the last few days. I put it in Stand By to go to bed. The next morning I press the power on button and nothing happens. I unplug it and restart it and it's okay. Any ideas on how to avoid this? It could be something simple or obvious like how I'm pressing the button or something. Any ideas?

  • Where is Active X?
    • WindowsXP Pro Sp3 IE8 When I try to download a program from a website I often get the message to click on the yellow bar. I am on my sixth computer and have never seen a yellow bar. There is a dialog bar telling me to click "here" because the site is trying to download a file. I click and the process starts but soon a new message says it cannot download the file. I have tried to locate where to enable Active X but "Help" and "Search" don't give me any information. I was told to try clicking on the Explorer icon "Properties" where there will be a check box to enable Active X. I do that but no Active X is listed. -- Ray _______________________________________________

  • ScreenSaver slideshow
    • In addition to the toolbar change that I mentioned above and found the 'fix' for, I see that the screensaver slideshow has also reverted to some default. I have a folder of slides that I created, and I want them to be presented sequentially. Up until today, I had it set for sequential. Now it has reverted to random sequence, and I can't seem to find the place for sequential. I think it may have to do with "PLUS!" which I foolishly bought several years ago. Advice, please?

  • Two network - One Domain controller
    • My Network configuration is as follows: 192.168.2.1-192.168.2.255 (Subnetmask - 255.255.255.0 ) 192.168.3.1-192.168.3.255 (Subnetmask - 255.255.255.0 ) I have only one Domain controller with two NIC cards. One NIC card is connected to 192.168.2.0 Network(via one switch) and other NIC card is connected to 192.168.3.0 network (via another switch). Will this one server serve as DC for two networks ?

  • Ecplorer's reaction to switch & folder count?
    • Hi, XP Pro, SP3+ Might anyone be aware how many folders are technically allowed in the root directory of a disk drive? I have a drive D, a separate partition with C that has some 186 objects according to win Explorer's status bar. It is entirely comprised of folders. The shortcut has the correct flags to automatically drop down the contents of the drive when it is opened. As I was rebuilding the machine, all was "normal" and the drive folder dropped down as expected when the shortcut was used. However, by the time I got finished Restoring all the files to it, it was no longer doing that. Using the Shortcut, it opens in the Folders View, which is fine, but it will not drop down the list of folders on the drive. I deleted all but aout 25 directories and it started to work again. Then I restored the removed directories, and it no longer dropped down the folders list again. The only conclusion is that there must be a numerical limit where win Explorer will stop expanding down. I copied all the folders to drive E, on another SATA drive, and got the same results as above. Anyone know what that limit may be? It was the same with my old computer too, which I assume all along was some vague corruption somewhere, but apparently not. That machine was XP Pro SP2+ when the problem came about, and SP3 at the end of its use. Thanks for any information you may have. If I'm close to that limit, whatever it may be, I'll do some house-keeping to get under it, but if I'm way over then I guess I'll live with it; it's not that big an annoyance. Thanks for any assistance, Twayne -- Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.

  • add and remove programs
    • Hi, in an effort make more space on my pc AND to delete programs that I do not use any more or care to use, I decided to switch one of my malware programs for another one. I actually wanted to try something different and hopefully seemed like it is less size than AVG. I installed avast and when I went to uninstall AVG, the size of Avast in the add and remove programs was 114 MB !!! AVG was somehting like 27MG. WHen I downloaded avast it was alot smaller in size than AVG so why the difference now when removing it? I barely have had Avast for 14 hours. This question pertains to alot of other programs that when you go to download, it is one size. When you go to Add & RP, its a different size. Can someone explain? thx in advance

  • Dvd decoder
    • Windows XP SP3 IE 7 It is my understanding that my PC does not have a DVD decoder. I am wondering if this is what I need to install software (e.g. PC games)on DVD Rom discs like I am able to install CD Rom software? In Device Manager it shows DVD/CD-Rom, SAMSUNG 248F. I have read in various groups that DVD's can be played via Windows Media Player. But, when clicking the tools option in the Media Player 11, the DVD/CD option is greyed out. I assume I do need a decoder for that. I want to be able to install DVD-rom software. Most everything I see that I want is this type. It is very hard to find the games I want to install on CD-rom. Also, I download via Standard User and install via my Administrative acct. and go on the internet via Standard User. Some games I installed are also listed on my Standard User acc. to play. I would like to play all of them via the Standard User. Is there a way to set up for this? Is it safe to play PC games logged onto an Admininstrative acct.? Because one has a popup at the beginning saying "You are logged in as standard user, you need to connect to the internet to enjoy other options" and this is the only one that allows me to play as Standard User. Thanking you in Advance for your help and being there

  • Computer won't boot
    • I have an older computer with a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard that I home-built a few years back. I recently built a new computer and have been keeping the old one alive until I get the new one all checked out and settled in. Yesterday the old computer wouldn't boot. It makes a BEEP about one second long during the boot process but won't go any farther. The drive lights flash and the monitor goes through its first sign of lighting up, after I turn the computer on, but this is as far as it goes. The monitor goes black and the activity lights on the front of the computer flash a few times, then everything stops. I've tried using the original Windows XP Pro installation disk, and also a second boot disk that I slipstreamed with SP3 on it. Neither boot disk will initiate a start-up process. The CD drive light flashes a few times then quits and nothing more happens after the BEEP. Any ideas as to what I might try next? Thanks, Gordon

  • Fail to hibernate..more evidence
    • I'm opening a new thread on this subject, after a week or so hiatus, to simplify the illustration of the problem. I shut down all programs and watch the system go to Screen Saver mode. Then I go away, and when I return hours later, instead of going through the Power Options sequence as expected, I find the screen on, in regular Desktop mode. So I go to the Event Viewer, and under System I find a zillion events, the last page of which are these: > Type Date Time Source Category Event User Computer > Information 2/27/2010 7:29:23 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 7:29:23 AM Service Control Manager None 7035 SYSTEM COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 6:12:32 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 2/27/2010 6:12:29 AM ati2mtag CRT 45062 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 5:25:32 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 2/27/2010 5:25:30 AM ati2mtag CRT 45062 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 5:25:29 AM Tcpip None 4201 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 4:12:26 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 2/27/2010 4:12:23 AM ati2mtag CRT 45062 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 3:25:53 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 2/27/2010 3:25:50 AM ati2mtag CRT 45062 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 2:39:59 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 2/27/2010 2:39:56 AM ati2mtag CRT 45062 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 1:53:26 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 2/27/2010 1:53:24 AM ati2mtag CRT 45062 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 1:53:21 AM Tcpip None 4201 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Information 2/27/2010 1:06:54 AM Service Control Manager None 7036 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 2/27/2010 1:06:51 AM ati2mtag CRT 45062 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Please note the references to CRT and Tcpip, and the numbers referring to the nature of the Error.

There is a similar bunch of error messages under Security as well.

  • so-called updates

If after an update i 'restore' there is no problem - of course then the updates want a do-over! Is the only option to never load an 'update?"

  • Windows XP Home Edition - Hard drive thrashing badly
    • I've very recently installed Windows XP Home Edition on the C: Drive of a partitioned hard drive with 128MB of RAM. The D: Drive is about 18GB, and the C: Drive is about 10GB, both fully defragged. I have only installed Internet Explorer 8, along with "Process Explorer". At the moment, I am experiencing the most HORRENDOUS problem of "hard drive thrashing" I've ever come across, particularly when I open up an IE8 webpage. Even if I open up just a single web page and it's sitting idle, the hard drive thrashing is terrible. It gets so bad that often my computer freezes (or very close to), and I have to reboot. I've already done the following: Defragged both partitions, more than once. Scan disk on both partitions (more than once) - no bad sectors found. I don't have any Norton Programs installed on my system. Turned off "Indexing" in System Properties in the Advanced Settings. Turned off System Restore. When I enter Task Manager > Performance tab, the PF (Page File) usage is often around 300MB. When checking the processes running using "Process Explorer", it only seems to be IE8 that's doing the most processing. If there's any advice anyone can offer, I'd like to hear it.

  • Malwarebytes
    • I've checked on the Web page but can't find a clear answer: Is this a virus *and* spyware scanner, or just a spyware scanner? They say "malware" over and over, and to em that implies both, but they never actually said what they mean as far as i could see. I raise the point because a friend claims that Malwarebytes Anti- malware does spyware scanning only, not virus scanning -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai...

  • Window control elements (minimize, maximize, close, scroll bars, etc)
    • The issue I'm seeing is actually on an NT4 server with IE6-sp1, but I'm asking here because there aren't enough people following NT4 newsgroups any more, and I figure that NT is similar enough to XP in this situation. The problem is that these graphic symbols or control elements are screwed up: - window minimize, maximize, and close buttons (upper right-hand corner of any window) - scroll bar up and down arrows, arrows for drop-down lists (the actual small black arrow) - radio buttons and check boxes are screwed up and seem to have been replaced with numbers or letters (in the case of the first two items) and radio buttons and check boxes are so mangled that it's hard to tell when a check-box or radio button has been set or is empty. The system in question has been like this for probably the last 7 years, and I have no ides what might have triggered or caused it. What part of an NT / XP system is responsible for rendering those window and menu-interface objects? I've re-applied the last service-pack for NT4 (SP6a) and re-installed IE6-sp1. I've changed the video card in the system (from ATI to Nvidia) and installed the correct video drivers. What API, GDI, kernel, DLL, VXD, activex, directx, or font files (etc) plays a role in rendering these particular window control elements or objects?

  • Questions regarding the IE Critical Patch
    • Dear Gurus, I learned of the need to patch IE (version 6, 7 and 8) and need help. There are two versions of patches -- A. MS09-072 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS09-072.mspx B. MS10-002 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS10-002.mspx Both deal with IE 6, 7 and 8. Question: 1. Do I apply *BOTH* patches or just one of them? 2. If only need apply only one patch, do I apply A (MS09-072) or B (MS10-002)? Please help ! Much oblige !!

  • Can't connect to my wireless home network?
    • Hi all, been having PC trouble in waves lately... not sure why... anyway, here's the current saga. I can not connect one of my PC's to my home network. Here's the whole story... OK, first, I had a problem with a mouse driver that I posted here about earlier. I ended up just "fixing" it myself by imaging a clean HDD that I had laying around for the exact same computer (I'd bought it for parts when I needed a screen backlight, and later a keyboard) and reinstalling all my apps and then moving my documents back over. At the same time I turned it into a dual boot w/ Linux. That part of it works fine, although that took me the better part of a day to accomplish, and I wouldn't have bothered had I not had both a clean install and a spare 250GB HDD laying around. At the same time, I also purchased another used laptop because I realized how down-spec mine was, and esp. having a EIDE HDD and limited memory upgrade capability that would make future upgrades difficult/expensive/pointless. That "new" computer is running WinXP Pro and was working fine until today (of course, I've only had it since Saturday morning, but still.) So I've had two computers running simultaneously since Saturday, as well as the girl's desktop. All were good up until today. Today, I left work early because of a bad head cold and sat down to check my email and found that my wireless router had bricked itself sometime between breakfast and 3 PM. Old router was a Netgear something or other. Tried everything, it's a brick, power light doesn't even come on. So much for taking it easy! So I ran out and bought a new wireless router, essentially the same spec but this time Cisco/Linksys. Installed it and used the same SSID and key as the old network so as not to have to reconfigure the various computers - with one exception. I misremembered the encryption type and set it to WPA initially and then realized my error when the computer wouldn't connect. Rather than setting it to WEP, I thought I might as well just change the various PCs to WPA instead - after all, there's only three in the house (although one is running two different OS's) - so I changed the new laptop, my old laptop's Linux system, and then went upstairs to change the girl's antique Sony desktop, when I found that there was no WPA option on her computer. Which is odd, because she's running XP SP3 just like me. So then I go back and change everything back to WEP, and everything is all fine and happy again - EXCEPT THE NEW LAPTOP. (the desktop, and both the Linux and XP OS's on the old laptop are connecting fine.) Which is even more odd because that's the computer that I used to configure said router. I get a pop up at the bottom of the screen that says "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network (network name)" and if I keep the Wireless Network Connection window open it's hung on "Validating Identity" - neither of which item I've ever seen before. Anyone have any explanation and/or fix for this? Keep in mind that this laptop was coexisting happily with the old router all weekend, this is something new that's occurred since installing the new router, although other PC's that I didn't mess with at all are connected to it and talking (as evidenced by my ability to send this post.) thanks, Nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel

  • Purging ThreatFire from register
    • XP (mce)SP3 Dell Dimension DIMC521, 64 X2Dual I ran chkdsk: Mycomputer, C:, Properties, Tools, Check now, with automatic system fix and recover bad sectors. This is the first time I ever did this. After it finished the task (1 - 2 hours later), I read the event folder (system) and found an error that was repeated many time. Here is the error message: //Error service control manager. The ThreatFire service failed to start due to failure to find the file specified.// Background: I have a misty memory of installing ThreatFire (TF) some years ago and later uninstalling it. Evidently the process left references strewn thruout the registry. I opened regedit, which I don't feel at all comfortable doing, and did a search for 'TF'. It found many instances in the software section. I didn't bother to search all the other sections. I would like some sage advice. Item 1). Since my system is working okay with all that residue inside should I just leave the register alone or should I try to clean out all the references to ThreatFire? After considering whatever advice I receive about Item 1, I will decide to ignore TF or purge TF and will ask again at that point for help in proceeding. Thank you so much.

  • Very Slow PC
    • I have a Dell XPS-Z 866Mhz Pentium 3, with 384mb and a 20Gig hard drive that I use for the web, and I've been having speed issues with my system that are worse than usual. Everything which includes loading pages from the internet, closing windows(if they close at all), switching between tabs, starting up apps, closing apps, etc. has become really sluggish. My DSL is slow to begin with and is not even as fast as dial-up was when I was using it over a decade ago.(But that is obviously a Verizon issue). I try to stay away from anti-virus apps and the like because they have traditionally made my system worse than it was before their installation and use. But this time I took a chance and installed AVG, and even SUPERAntiSpyware. They didn't seem to do much, but that AVG "Resident Shield alert" window pops up constantly. (Usually when I attempt to open a file). Many of which I can no longer open or they open with difficulty. For instance when I attempt to open mspaint I get a pop-up box that says Missing Shortcut". All this while the AVG "Resident Shield alert"(Multiple threat detection) windows list a variety of files that are supposed to be infected.(Usually by something called "Win32/ Virut)." It seems like all of the files I have are infected. I can't open the calculator or the calender because they can't be found. I also can no longer open a text file from my desktop without the "Open with" box popping up. (Last month I had to do a reinstall after installing Avast because it made my system useless). It looks as though I'll have to reinstall XP again, but thought I'd ask for any ideas on how to keep these problems from occurring all over again. Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York.

  • Laptop won't boot
    • Hello, I have a Dell Latitude E5400 laptop running XP. It recently had a virus. I did all the normal things to remove it, but I suspect that in the process, a system file may have been deleted. Anyhow, now when I try to boot up it gets as far as Windows starting, then I get the BSOD. I have tried F12 and setting it to boot to a DOS prompt, but it still tries to start Windows. I also tried booting from CD and put in the Windows XP disk, but it seems to just skip it all together and attemps to start Windows again. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Lost Task Manager
    • WindowsXP Pro SP3 IE8 There was a program called Internet Security 2010 which came from somewhere. It persisted and could not be eliminated or canceled. I use Vipre as my anti-virus program and it listed it as a high risk entry along with a Trojan. I cleaned them both and then found that my Task Manager is not available. In doing a Search for files or folders I do not find taskmgr.exe. Is there a way to recover it? I use it very often. -- Ray _________________________________________________

  • Audio config
    • I need to point the audio setup at a specific bit of software, rather than an installed sound card. (Sounds and Audio/Audio/Default Device) Normally it's an option that gets selected via the GUI. However, while I can set the default device to the bit of s/w I want, that is only after it loads on startup, which is too late for it to be selected automatically, and I have to go to control panel and do it manually. Is there some command line I can use, for example, something like: "set Sounds and Audio/Audio/Default Device = mySoftware"? instead of what appears at present "Sounds and Audio/Audio/Default Device == RealTek Audio output" -- Dirk http://www.transcendence.me.uk/ - Transcendence UK http://www.theconsensus.org/ - A UK political party http://www.blogtalkradio.com/onetribe - Occult Talk Show

  • Event viewer
    • You nice folks led me to Event Viewer not too long ago, and in studying it, I find under Applications that Automatic Live Update is being run every 3 hours. It isn't my Norton Anti- Virus Live Update, and I do not allow Windows Live Update to run. Or at least I think I have it set so that I run Windows Update when I choose to do so. How can I track down what is running so often, and preventing my system from hibernating as a result? Thank you.
