Solve : Tabworks?

Answer»

Does anyone REMEMBER a software program called "Tabworks" by Xerox. I loved the graphical interface for creating projects. I still have the program but it does not get along with XP. If there is a newer version or something like it out there I WOULD like to know about it. I use Paperport, but it isn't even close to the 3 ring binder interface. Any help. [emailprotected]

email addy removed to prevent SPAMWhat was rhe last operating system on which you could use Tabworks?TabWorks is a graphical DOS shell for x86 processors developed by Xerox's XSoft division. TabWorks organizes files into tabs in a notebook-like interface. It competed PRIMARILY with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 and was distributed with PCs from 1994 to AROUND 1997 by several companies, including Compaq and NEC.
Thanks for the info!

I remember seeing something like that -- probably not Tabworks, but a similar shell elsewhere...

Solve : Need help with Motorola Moble phone tools?

Answer»

Motorola PhoneTools are available for download, but for a fee. Not the ideal solution if you've already paid for it. First your phone is not capable nor recieve any mp3 FILES,so it is very hard to download a ringtones as what you said earlier,I suggest that look for a phone that has a expandable memory,like V3I or V3XX....Quote from: dobhan on February 11, 2008, 11:14:08 PM

First your phone is not capable nor recieve any mp3 files,so it is very hard to download a ringtones as what you said earlier,I suggest that look for a phone that has a expandable memory,like V3I or V3XX....

dobhan, you are quite mistaken. While it is true that the V3 Razor does not have expandable memory, it is most definitely capable of ACCEPTING and playing mp3 files. I have a V3 Razor and have transferred mp3 files to it for use as custom ringtones. (Black Sabbath's Iron Man being my favorite:))Quote
(Black Sabbath's Iron Man being my favorite:))

At least you chose a Classic ! !No mentally handicapped frogs or hippitty hoppitty music for me. Ok, GUYS, thanks for helping me. How about I refrase the question. and this phone has worked on this software and still does but I am wanting to upgrade phones that are not in the softwares database wich means it needs updating.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME MAKE THE REGISTRY FILES CORRECT?You can try this:
Open Regedit (Start > Run > regedit > OK)
NAVIGATE to: HKey_Local_Machine > SOFTWARE > BVRP Software

RIGHT CLICK on "BVRP Software" Click on "Permissions"

Add any additional local pc or domain users

Check the box that gives them "Full Control"

Click "Apply"

Click "OK"

Close Registry Editor and you're done
via another search I'm getting same issue. Ringtones transfer just fine, backup works just fine. Just this errror msg and the inability to update!

Solve : Microsoft Word 97 Printing?

Answer»

I have just replaced my Epson printer with an HP All-In-One Printer-Fax-Copier-Scanner.

Now, when I come to print a Word 97 document, I have lost the window that opens before printing allowing the selection of which PART of the document to print. Instead, a FAULT occurs and Word 97 has to close. The problem seems confined to Word 97.

I have tried re-installing Word 97, but to no avail.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.It's OK, I've solved it. It was a compatability problem. Once I set it to Windows 98 my printing selection window opened.Hello all

I’m sorry, but I spoke too soon and have not resolved the problem.

I'm running XP and as far as I can remember before changing my printer, I had to set compatibility to Windows 98 for Word 97 to work. After changing the printer I think the compatibility was removed - perhaps by the HP software? I set the compatibility back to Windows 98 and the window that opens before printing to allow which part of the document to print has now returned.

However, having made that CHOICE, and selected print, the HP AIO doesn't print, but hangs up. When I check the print queue, the document is spooling continuously, whatever that means.

Before I noticed this compatibility issue, when I clicked on print I did get an error message something like "The instruction at 0x7c9188 REFERENCED memory at 0x000000. The memory could not be written"

I'm wondering whether the HP software will not operate in XP with a programme that has to be set to Windows 98 compatibility.
This time I have fixed it. Thanks to the suggestion of a forum senior moderator it was just a matter of reinstalling the HP AIO software.

Solve : Excel Program?

Answer»

Hello,

I need help learning something with EXCEL. I created a sheet and then I created a second sheet. What I need to do is print the first sheet out and PUT it back in printer and print out second sheet on back, but I can't get them to line up so that it looks professional. How do I make both sheets match even after i print double sided? PLEASE help.Quote

How do I make both sheets match even after i print double sided?
I'm not sure what you mean. Since the sheets are printed on separate sides of the paper, how do you want them to match? Why do they need to match?

Do both sheets contain the same number of columns? The same number of rows? Are column widths set the same on both sheets?It's POSSIBLY the margin print settings in excel that may have to be changed after the first print. If the first print is reversed for printing, then the margin may have to be altered accordingly, so that both prints are ALIGNED...

Solve : jar_cache33759.tmp?

Answer»

I deleted this file from my computer not thinking it was important. My recycle bin shows that it needs to be emptied but when you open it there is nothing there. Also, when I click to EMPTY it it gives me this message, "error deleting file or folder cannot delete Dc!: Access is denied. Since nothing shows in the recycle bin there is nothing to restore. Maybe this was a system file? What can I do to fix it? Try this:

* Click Start > Control Panel.
* Double-click the Java icon in the control panel.
-The Java Control Panel appears.
* Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files.
-The Temporary Files Settings dialog box appears.
* Click Delete Files.
-The Delete Temporary Files dialog box appears.

o Delete Files
o View Applications
o View Applets
* Click OK on Delete Temporary Files window.
-Note: This DELETES all the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the cache.
* Click OK on Temporary Files Settings window.

Solve : Just what is Acceller?

Answer» I have an emachines (model 3642) that came loaded with WV and I need help with a few of the programs on it.

1. Exactly what is Acceller? Does this have anything to do with the speed the computer achieves?

2. What is BigFix?

3. My sound manager informs me there is no recording device. Is that something that is necessary or is it like external for the microphone?

4. An Icon in my bottom bar is telling me to 'Launch IE Browser". What browser am I using now. I am also using AOL as my ISP.

Thanks for the feedback.
What exactly is WV ? ?Sorry Patio, WV is, Windows Vista.Accelor from what i could find may be an ISP...IInternet Service Provider.
Who is your ISP ? ?
BigFix looks like one of those monitoring programs that promises to fix everything on your machine and simplify your life....rarely does this happen.
How old is this machine and where did you purchase it ? ?

It basically looks like it came with a bunch of pre-installed software.
This happens ALOT with big retailers.BigFix....I used to use it. It was pretty handy tool, which was monitoring your computer for available updates of any kind. Unfortunatelly, few years ago, it went corporate, and doesn't serve ordinary people anymore. In corporate world, it's a big player, though.The computer was purchased from "Best Buy". And, you aren't kidding about a bunch of preinstalled things. In four days my scanner was scanning more than 400,000 things. And for someone like me who has no idea how to properly or even what to properly load, it's a nightmare. And the techs at emachines seem totally INCOMPETENT. I

had to get the "Geek Squad" to help me with my audio problem after two techs had taken RC of my computer and still I had no audio. And to make matters worse. They don't have a toll free line.

Anyway, I was asking about the Acceller program because it SOUNDS like it may control the speed of some things on here. My emulators are running at uncontrollable speeds and they weren't doing that on my old comp.

I think she lost her V-Card again, as the monitor went dark and said, no input or no cable connetion; same as it did the first time when I had to replace the V-Card. So I just got something new. Broni, I wish I could send you the old one so that you could find out what the repair ppl down here couldn't.

So Broni, knowing me, do you think I should use the BigFix. I think it needs to be installed. Shoot I don't even have IE launched. I'm sad I know
I need a tutoring mentor.

I'm sure I'll be back...

As I said, BigFix doesn't work for regular people anymore.
You may want to post HijackThis log, so we can see what's running on your computer. We'll go from there.It's been a while so work with me while I download the tool again. I'll need to find the thread and the instructions to download HJT.Download HijackThis:

Solve : can hanycam use as web cam?

Answer»

i have win xp ,intel 2.4ghz,40gb hdd 128ram, can i USE my sonyhandy cam as webcam Check the manual - some cameras can be used as a webcam, most cannot.My Fujifilm digital CAMERA will do that but I don't see it as very practical for extended webcam use due to battery drain on the camera. I believe my Handycam can be used as a webcam, so yours might also be able to. However, we don't know the model number, so we can't give a definite answer. But like soybean says, it's not really a practical solution. I would suggest buying an ACTUAL webcam, which are pretty CHEAP these days. You shouldn't have to pay more than $20, unless you want more features.

Solve : Norton Antivirus won't finish installation?

Answer»

Hi there everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me.

Yesterday I bought a Norton Antivirus programme from their website and downloaded it. After having some difficulty installing the basics already, I have now run into a new problem:

To finish the installation, Norton Antivirus wants me to 'Continue' and it says it is 'initializing the configuration wizard'

I left my computer on for 2 hours and it still showed the same message: the wizard never showed up. It says it should take a minute or so, but it's really not working.

Any help here would be hot (Y)

KatajiWhat operating system are you using?I got installed I think now

BUT

it says that the 'transaction security (TS)' (literal translation from Dutch to English) is well.. not there.

So I said ' Fix ' but it doesn't DO anything. I went to Advanced Settings and ticked the 'TS'-box there, but when I press OK, it doesn't CHANGE anything. It's just as if the whole button isn't working =[Specifically...what Norton program did you download and install?

Try uninstalling your Norton product and reinstalling it...making sure no other programs are running in the background...including your firewal, if you have one installed.

If you cannot get the program installed...you may want to contact Symantec for support. If they can't help...SEE if you can't get your money back and download and install a free antivirus program like AVG.

Link to Symantec: http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/support/selectproduct_ts.jsp

The above link will let you select your product and provide you with the necessary support you may need.I think it is the norton 360 i had also downloaded it yesterday =p
it may be a hidden window when it FIXES the errors?
Follow the link in post #3 above to the Symantec Support site for your product.

or see if this link helps:

http://service1.symantec.com/support/norton360.nsf/docid/2006112904330175?OpenDocument&lg=en&ct=us&seg=hho&src=hot

If it doesn't help...let us know, please.OK, I'll let you know then ^__^""

It didn't work, i did everything the list told me to...

now they're suggesting i have to reinstall it but i'm too afraid that i'll be left with nothing!

yikesI would demand a full refund... and choose an alternative protection package.

Below is a list of fine products that will give you a well rounded protection package:

Avast or
AVG Free
anti-virus.

Spybot Search and Destroy
spyware scanner

AdAware
ad scanner

AVG Anti-Spyware
trojan and malware scanner

CCleaner
registry scanner

Stinger
trojan scanner.

All of the above are FREE and highly recommended...On the other hand...

An uninstall and REINSTALLATION may fix the issue. Just make sure no other programs are open...including those running in the backround when you decide to reinstall the product.Quote from: The Saviour on June 10, 2007, 01:26:06 PM

On the other hand...

An uninstall and reinstallation may fix the issue. Just make sure no other programs are open...including those running in the backround when you decide to reinstall the product.

So continue on with a cranky program that doesn't want to perform properly ? ?

Not me.To each...his own...

REVIEWS:

PC Magazine
CNET

Users have to understand that some products aren't compatible with others. This may be why this particular user is having a problem with their installation. While malware protection is a necessity...some people have a tendency to go overboard with their protection...downloading this...installing that...until eventually...they run into issues.

All one has to do in order to protect their PC is to stay on top of their operating system's updates...use a firewall...and install a proven and trusted malware program. If they stay on top of these three things...and understand what it is they are doing...they won't have an issue. Granted...not everyone knows everything they need to know about the software they purchase. They buy the product, install it...then forget about it.

If they have issues...they should use their manuals...contact support...or use this forum for advice. That's what we're here for.

This person bought the software...and needs help with it...that's exactly what I intend to do...if he still needs the help.

So, Kataji...I'll continue to help, if you need it, otherwise...do as patio has stated and return the product for a refund or store credit. That decision is yours.If push comes to shove, call Norton support. Hopefully you'll get someone that understands and speaks English well enough to get you thru the rough spots.

Alan <>< Well, as one who used Norton for 10 years until I saw the light, I felt compelled to add my two cents. My computer has never worked faster and more smoothly than it does since I un-installed Norton with the Symantec un-installer recommended by Patio. I use AVG Freeware and it works terrific. I still have to be careful about what I open as email and from what site I download but I think everyone should do that anyway. I agree with Patio, don't walk but run to talk Norton (the resource hog) back.i would give you an advice that u must uninstall and use avg free version but it need update every two or threeday but it good from norton because i use it very much ago i got that it slows my pc then i choose AVGfree version. you must try it . download from his site not from other .careful about checking email or downloading free software indiscremently!

Solve : Outlook no-reply notification?

Answer»

Is there a way to set up SOMETHING where Microsoft Outlook will let you know which messages received a REPLY and which didn't. I would like to do this for either specific messages or all messages.
I send emails out to vendors and sometimes will forget about ONE or two and get messed up when they don't reply. Read receipts don't really help.
If anyone has a suggestion I would greatly appreciate it.
I am using Outlook 2003
I'm familiar with Outlook 2003 and I don't know of a way to do this, but I'm not ABSOLUTELY sure about it. I did review the email SETTINGS and did not find any setting to accomplish this.

I don't know whether you'd consider using Outlook Express. I would normally not suggest it over Outlook, but it has a feature which will do what you want. In OE, under View, selecting Group Messages by Conversation accomplishes what you want to do.

Solve : Programs running in fullscreen continually minimize randomly!?

Answer»

This one is quite a bugger. Whenever I am running a program in fullscreen, every few minutes (sometimes 50 seconds or so) the program likes to minimize to the desktop. No popups, no new windows, merely my desktop with my program minimized. I am not press alt+tab or the windows key or alt+f4. Here's my HJT log.... (I've already tried closing AVG and Zone Alarm, along with turning automatic updates and the windows firewall on and off)

Any help would be VERY grateful. I've come to this site before and have always gotten what i've needed =) Thanks
What is this

O4 - HKCU\..\Policies\Explorer\Run: [remdoc] C:\WINDOWS\system32\remdoc.exe

Do a search and see what program it's associated with.

Have you also run the AV & AS programs in Safe Mode?

Alan <&GT;< I have no idea what remdoc.exe is, so I shut that down. And I don't quite know if the programs have a safe mode. I'm PRETTY sure these programs aren't causing the program, as I've had them well before the problem occured.

Solve : Winamp problems?

Answer»

I'm having trouble with WINAMP. The problems just recently started, and before I go on, REINSTALLING DOES NOT FIX IT.

Basically, when I choose to play something in Winamp, the winamp icon appears in the task tray in the lower righthand corner of the monitor, but nothing happens, and nothing plays. So I thought that maybe there was some winamp setting that GOT changed around. So when I brought my mouse over to the winamp icon on the task tray to click on it, so I can open the options MENU and see if something had changed, the icon disappeared.

Every time Winamp is opened, the icon appears in the corner, but when the mouse pointer touches the icon, it goes away. And it's not like it's with the "hidden" icons, where I can click the arrow and show it. When the mouse goes over it, the PROGRAM is closed and no longer there. And, like I said before, NOTHING HAPPENS when I try to play a song.

I have the latest version of winamp, and my computer's updates are all, well, up to date.

Please help!

Solve : hiding program files from search?

Answer»

No I did not lie. That was for my computer which has to bad of everything to play online games (like a upgraded 98 to ME). It was running so slow one day that I decided to just delete the FILES without uninstalling it properly which ended up causing it to always stay on the add/remove list. And if it was for the same computer I wouldn't had made 2 threads. I would have just put in in one.
But I'm talking about this for not mine but my parents computer (as patio said) because its like the only one I can play it on, if I don't get caught. And they already said no so, I guess I can forget about it.Even though it's not what you want to do respecting your parent's wishes is the RIGHT choice and you should feel good about your decision.

I respect that.Sorry, didn't mean to accuse you of anything. Like patio says, it's best to respect their wishes. If SOMEONE did something on your computer that you didn't approve of, I'm sure you wouldn't be too happy. Until you get a better setup for yourself, your best bet may be to talk with your parents try to get them to understand what the game is about. Might not work, but it's better than hiding something from them.

Out of curiosity, what game is this? I didn't see a name mentioned anywhere.Sorry I haven't been on for awhile. And its ok. The game is roseonline and its the phillipenes (how ever you SPELL it) because thats the only free version.Quote from: patio on June 19, 2007, 03:13:39 PM

But what is the Dutch name for maps ? ?


That would be "kaarten" or "plattegronden".

Solve : Application problem?

Answer»

I have WRITTEN a number of Visual BASIC programs which I find very useful, and have subsequently made these programs .exe files. I pinned these programs to my start menu, but one of them wasn't displaying the usual Visual Basic icon. Stupidly, I right-clicked on it and was somehow given the OPTION to 'open with....'. I clicked on this and then CHOSE visual basic from the menu, clicked apply, then OK. Now I find that every single application tries to open with visual basic, which obviously cannot load these applications. Nor can I use system restore, because that also tries to open with visual basic. Any suggestions?You can just try to right click it and change it back to the prog it belongs to.
If this doesn't work than you can go to EXPLORER -> Tools -> Folder options -> File types and look for exe there you can change it.

Solve : Error Installing Canon Photo Record?

Answer»

I have just installed a new printer on my computer, it is a Canon Pixma iP2000. Most of the packages and the printer itself have installed fine. The only problem I have had is installing the Canon PhotoRecord application.

When I try to install, I get the following error message:

Could not open key:
UNKNOWN\Installer\UpgradeCode\190C0016C606A914286804B5269E4B11. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

I have looked in the user manual and have looked on the Canon website for HELP but none of their TROUBLESHOOTING sections mention anything like this. I was trying to install some Digital Photo Album FREEWARE yesterday and I got a similar message.

My computer specifications are also up to what is required for the installation of all the applications and drivers so I'm a bit mystified.

As always any help would be greatly appreciated.

My specs (a bit crap I know!):
Win ME
127 MB RAM
Intel Celeron Processor
AVG Anti-Virus (Free Edition)
Hmmm, I see system requirements of Win 2000 or Win XP at:
http://www.download.com/BJ-Printer-Driver-Canon-Pixma-iP2000/3000-2116_4-10555908.html
JessicaB ......... I have just reviewed the install manuals ...... for your printer.
Question , did you remember to turn off your anti- virus before attempting to install the "PhotoRecord" application ?

If you didnt do this , I would uninstall everything, turn off your AV and do a complete reinstall of the printer.

If that doesn't solve your issue ........
Call the free live chat support at 1-800-828-4040

let us know how you make out .

dl65 dl65, do the install manuals agree with my reference on OS requirements?Hi soybean ....The manual say that the printer will run on ME

dl65 I've just done what you suggested and disabled the anti-virus and reinstalled and I still receive the same error message but only with the Photo Record Software again.Ok ....... then I guess it's time to do this......

Solve : hiding programs from "add/remove programs" in ctrl panel?

Answer»

So I was just wondering: how do I hide programs from the "add/remove programs" list? Like, if you go into the control panel, and you click on add/remove programs, it will show you a list of programs that are INSTALLED on your computer. But I want to instal a game without it being seen. Is there any way to do this? If so, how? Please let me know. Thanks guysAre you not installing this on your own computer, or are you not allowed to install games?Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Local the program in question in the left pane. In the right pane, right click DisplayName and select rename: Add Quiet so it will read:

QuietDisplayName.

No reboot or refresh needed. Open Add or Remove - the listing is now gone.

To revert, rename back to DisplayName.




It was beceause i uninstalled a game and it wouldnt come off the add/remove panel and it just annoyed me I sort of just deleted the game files improperly so thats why it was there, and thankyou very much Buscrew, it really helped and did the job and now I learned something new =)Yeah, I too have a LOT of programs that are still in the Add/Remove programs menu. Thanks for that Buscrew.For future REFERENCE...anyone WEARY of editing their registry can do this with CCleaner (install without Yahoo! toolbar). Just go to TOOLS, find the program in the list, and click on Delete Entry.I have tried looking for the program with CCleaner but I couldn't find it. I managed to get it removed with the registry though...Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on June 17, 2007, 03:54:04 AM

A lot of programs i use wont run in vista.I have herd every answer emaginable Besst Buy Geeks said no Gateway said maybe the retailer said call gateway what is the correct answer.I was told i will need drivers but my NOTE book might not have them available DLoad and run Everest Home and you will have a list of every component you need XP drivers for...

Then travel to Gateway's SITE and see whats available for XP.

Solve : Recommendations on Internet Security Software?

Answer»

Up until now I've been using WINDOWS One CARE (got if for $20 bucks for a year, after using the beta edition) but now that my year is up I'm thinking about switching. I've done a bit of searching on GOOGLE and whatnot but I'm not finding anything that screams "I'm the best! You're PC will be safe with me!" Ok, kinda dumb but you get what I mean. Since most run $50+ and is something I'll be stuck with for at least a year, I want to be sure I'm happy with it. Right now I'm running a free trial of ZoneAlarm and I like it pretty well (especially the price) but my only gripe is the VIRUS scan takes oooh sooo long. After a hour and a half I canceled it So what I'm getting at is if anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them. Thanks!Well,a lot of us like AVG Anti-Spyware and AVG Anti-Virus.

Great programs and free is a bonus.

They work great download at below link.

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

I haven't tried AVG Rootkit but,I am fixing to....LOLThanks for the quick reply. That seems like a pretty good scanner but I'm kinda looking for something that will monitor my computer and also something with a firewall and EVEN a password vault. I'm going to bookmark it anyways since it could come in handy In my experience and personal opinion, AVG is the best free antivirus out there.
And Comodo Firewall is a great free firewall too.
If you don't mind paying, I recommend Kapersky Internet Security.
I haven't used it myself, but it's got the best reviews I've seen.
Apparently the Steganos Internet Security suite is exactly the same as Kapersky, but cheaper and rebranded, so that might be worth a look too.

Solve : trouble reinstalling windows?

Answer»

My PC has been shutting itself off at random for a while now, mostly when running programs/games. I decided to reinstall windows in an attempt to rid the problem but the PC keeps shutting down during the reinstall.
How can I stop this from happening, even if just 'til the installation finishes?

and does anyone have any good reasons as to why this might be happening? I've heard dust and fan issues might be responsible but I see no problem with either - I cleared the dust a few weeks ago and there wasn't that much there anyway.What OS do you have? you say windows but there are a few OS's of windows.
What protection did you have?
How did you uninstall the OS?By using an appropriate program that says Format C:?
Are you still able to boot?

Jonas Oh sorry, forgot the specs.

How did you uninstall the OS?

I just put in the Windows XP CD and clicked install. After a few points a message said this new install would wipe the previous install. When I clicked to continue a message on the side said the installation would take 58 mins, then the PC restarted taking me to a dos like screen where I was given the choice to repair or fully install. I tried both of them but both crashed the cpu shortly in. Sorry if that doesn't help. Nothing has been wiped BTW.
Quote
By using an appropriate program that says Format C:?
don't know what that is exactly, I just did it like above. I thought all you had to do is stick in the CD and reinstall, simple.
BTW the cpu has been shutting down long before now, it has nothing to do with my attempt to wipe the PC - apart from it being the reason I'm doing it. I get the feeling the same thing will happen no matter what method I use.

Quote
Are you still able to boot?
yup, but when my CPU does switch off on its own I'm unable to switch it back on straight away. It just freezes at the start up screen. I usually have to leave it alone for a while before it works right again.

Edit: just downloaded a program called SpeedFan and it has my temp around 54-56C. Is that good or bad?For the temperature: I do not know much about that but it is the exact same of my laptop and I don't have that kind of problem so.

Did you scan your computer for any unwanted software?
If I was you I should Dload and run Ccleaner first.
run it on the Issue part.

The way that you are trying to reinstall XP isn't the way how you are suppose to do it.
You are supposed to wipe all data including windows files and apps.
Therefor you 'll need a porg that's able to do that.(I don't know anything about that.)

Before reinstalling try this: (Be sure to have the CD, but that's no porb I guess)
-Start -> run -> type "CHKSDK"
then reboot and
-start -> run -> type "SFC /SCANONCE"
reboot
while you are booting the PC will scan you windows files to see if they are still how they are suppose to be.
(sorry for my bad explanation)

Let me know how it turns out.

Therefor you 'll need a porg that's able to do that.(I don't know anything about that.)

I'll wait 'til I fix this shut down problem before I go doing that. I'd hate to be stuck with an empty hard drive.
Quote
Before reinstalling try this: (Be sure to have the CD, but that's no porb I guess)
-Start -> run -> type "CHKSDK"
then reboot and
Tried it. It opened a dos box, loaded something in 3 different parts then disappeared. I rebooted and nothing happened from there. Normal?

Quote
-start -> run -> type "SFC /SCANONCE"
reboot
when I typed that in a minimized dos screen flashed up then vanished. After restarting a loading BAR came up that said it was checking the system for faults. It took about fifteen mins to complete then it just disappeared. And now I'm here.

don't know if any of this has done anything.

thanks for the help anyway.well the PC shut down while I was watching a movie so I guess it didn't work.

Any other suggestions?The way that the process ran is normal but I had hoped that it would be fixed afterwards.
If the shutdown issue is a software problem that it should be over when you format the drive but that is only IF it is an software problem.
Sow I would wait until you know it for sure.
For as far as I can tell I think it is a hardware problem. (But I do not know much about hardware so...)
I'm out of suggestions sorry.
Just hang around till someone else knows an answer.

Jonas maybe I should try third times the charm in the hardware section.

Oh, and since I attempted to reinstall windows (my way) I keep on getting a choice during startup to either enter windows setup or start up normally. If I don't do anything it goes into windows setup (in dos) automatically. How do I stop this? It happens without the Windows CD being in the drive.

I've also noticed my drivers (not really sure which - something to do with graphics I assume seeing as it happens when I try play games - it's the Fujitsu driver CD that came with the cpu anyway) have stopped working (since the above attempt too) so I figured I'd just reinstall them from the disc, but before I could start I received an error message telling me to remove ATI catalyst control center first. I gave it a shot and during the uninstall an error message popped up saying I have 1 min before the PC shuts down, and so it did. It might just be a safety thing activated by the comp but it reminded me of that old MSblast virus.

thanks again


Did you already tried System restore?
Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> system tools -> system restore
Go to a restoring point just before you tried reinstalling Windows
about that possibility of a virus you might try Windows OneCare Live it has a 90 day trial so that won't be any problem to scan. (As far as I have tried protection this came out the best)
Good luck

Jonas Remove the side, first make sure all the fans are running then direct a desk fan at the computer and see how it goes.Quote

I can't get that thing to work. I keep getting this message: network problems are preventing windows live one-care installation from continuing at this time. PLEASE check your network connection and try again.

I'll try this later. As I said, I already opened the PC a while ago and didn't find anything strange. But it couldn't hurt to try again. Although I don't have a desk fan so I'll have to make do with something else.

Solve : Need help to read backed up files from "my documents"?

Answer»

Just recently my computer was corrupted and I had to send it out to the geek squad at best buy. They used a RECOVERY disc to rejuvinate my computer. During this process they backed up "my PHOTOS" and "my documents". When I downloaded " my documents " the text COMES up scrambled and not in the format I originally used to write them. I have windows xp and I used microsoft works to write the text for all of my documents. The backed up files are on a cd-rom and I can download the documents, I just can't read them. There are a LOT of precious documents I want to save. If you can help, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Rob rlokoff ....... What format did the Geek Squad use when they backed up your IMPORTANT files ?

Sometimes you can right click on the link and select "Save Target As..", and this will download the movie to your hard drive.

That's the first thing I did.
I just get the link to the site.
I can't import links to thing's like Adobe Premiere. Or other programmes.
But thank's for trying to help.

PS does any one know were you can download music videos.
Thank's.you can download music videos with torrents or p2p (if you're willing to download such SOFTWARE), otherwise i just randomly search google, or go to www.ebaumsworld.com

for downloading/''borrowing without permission'' videos from certain sites, i'vebeen able to use the cached files to get the videos, if the format won't work, a cache converter program might (i don't remember any but i'm sure you'll be able to google for one). otherwise... i don't know

all in all... google's pretty useful There is a program called URL Snooper that can show all media files that are streaming from online. But there is a bug in it that causes it to shut your computer down sometimes (it happened TWICE to me and then it stopped) and I REALLY have no IDEA what causes it or how to stop it, it could all be random as far as I know. But anyway, after installing it, select the show only Media Files option thing (try the simplified view first and SEE if that works).

turned off all my security

Very bad idea. You should never go online without protection. I hope you have re-enabled it! And isn't Firebug a web developer tool? Not sure how that would help.

In any case...I registered an account on the site and although they say basic members have access to the forums, there is no forum in sight. I also don't see any personals. All I see are the main content, the navigational links on the left, and the Control Panel on top. Is this the same for you?

I'll keep looking, but so far, I have found no way to access any of these features.thunderkitty ......

If you are seeing..... log-off up top, that tells me that you are logged on ....... otherwise it should say, Log-in

If you click log-off , does the message change to Log-in.
If you click log-in, are you prompted for your username and password ?
Have you checked to be sure that your machine is set to accept cookies ?
Is it possible that you must UPGRADE to the paid version to have access to all the features ?

Let us know .

dl65 I think I may know what the problem might be. Weary of possible spam, I used a a fake e-mail address when signing up, so I didn't realize that validation was required. Tonight, I logged in and changed my e-mail address to a real one and they re-sent the validation message. I entered the appropriate code and I now have access to all of the different features.

Did you ever receive a PMM Verification e-mail? You may want to check your spam folder. And when logging in, make sure both cookies and javascript are enabled, or certain features won't work properly.

Solve : Windows XP Tasbar Problem. Please Help.?

Answer»

Hello, I have a problem with my taskbar on Windows XP. Whenever I turn on the computer, the taskbar looks like it is in hiding MODE and I cannot scroll it back into normal position without having the Quick Launch feature on or the Language Bar feature on. The Hide Taskbar function is not active. When I do enable the Quick Launch feature, I cannot see the tabs for my programs that are running on the bar ( like the internet explorer tab ).

I also cannot reduce the Quick Launch area ( I cannot reduce it to only three icons ).

PLEASE help me. Can anybody help me please? I really dont know how to help this. What happened before this started?Nothing. I just started up the computer and saw that the TOOLBAR was gone. It was fine the night before this happened.Check the sizing adjustments on the monitor itself and or change your screen resolution by right clicking a blank area of the desktop and selecting properties...

Any little kids around that house ? ?Alright, i'll do that. And no, there aren't any little children.Download ComboFix and save it to your desktop. Run the program and read its disclaimer (it's fairly SHORT) and make sure you really pay attention to what it says. Follow the prompts and when finished, it will produce a log at C:\ComboFix.txt. Go ahead and post that here. Note: Don't click on the window while it's running; this may cause stalls.


This might show us changes made to the registry that COULD be affecting your taskbar. It's not guaranteed, but it's worth a shot. Keep in mind that it will take a few posts to fit the whole log.
