51.	Solve : Window Instant Messenger query?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hi Everyone, <br/><br/>Before downloading SP2, when my Windows Messenger logged in, ( please understand I am speaking about the Windows Instant messenger that comes with Windows XP and looks like a little green man on my task bar) a tab would come up and tell me if there was any new mail in my default email inbox. A tab would also come up and tell me if any new mail had arrived while I was <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/chatting-2511447" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHATTING">CHATTING</a> on Windows Instant Messenger. <br/><br/>Now none of these things happen. Instead when I right click to go to my default email inbox, I now have to sign in with my password to get there. I have no pre-information to tell me if there is actually any mail in my Inbox to know if its worth going there. I have no tab come up to tell me if new mail has arrived either.<br/>I Hate it this way. <br/><br/>Someone suggested that SP2 does not support the Add-in that I was used to and sent me to this site:<br/><br/><a href="https://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/SP2/common.php#msn">http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/SP2/common.php#msn</a><br/><br/>Where it states this:<br/><br/>Windows Messenger 4.7 included in SP2 does not support the MSN Add-in<br/><br/>This change is by design, Windows Messenger 4.7.3000 no longer supports the MSN Add-in. In order to use this you must DOWNGRADE to Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 from <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger/download.asp">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger/download.asp</a> OR use MSN Messenger. Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 does not support the attachment excution security feature of Windows XP SP2. <br/><br/>Okay so I go to this site to downgrade back to Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 only to find that the site is as clear as Mud. I cannot find a downgrade on that site at all. I even used there search facility and nothing.<br/><br/>I don't want to have both Windows Messenger and MSN Instant Messenger on my task bar either.<br/><br/>A friend of mine had the exact same problem and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ended-2070567" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ENDED">ENDED</a> up removing SP2 just so he could have the Windows Instant Messenger back to how it used to be. I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/felt-456915" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FELT">FELT</a> that was a bit drastic and now that SP2 is installed should probably keep it.<br/><br/>But what can I do? Does anyone know anything about this and have any suggestions?<br/><br/><br/>Thank you in Advance for any help on this,<br/><br/>Katzkatz.....Here's what I would do ....<br/>Close out messenger 4.7 and remove it from you start menu......<br/>( In fact I would remove it completely ) but thats up to you .<br/>Then I would D/L MSN messenger 6.2.....<br/><a href="http://messenger.msn.com/">http://messenger.msn.com/</a> <br/>Now you have the latest messenger , I believe .<br/>It will notify you when new E mails arrive .......<br/>When you boot up , it will be in your start menu .......so just sign in and minimize it and forget about it until you want to use it. It will also notify you when any of your contacts signed on .<br/><br/>Hope this helps you .<br/><br/>dl65 You can disable Windows Messenger (Which is a known source for causing spam) using a program like <a href="https://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm">Shoot The Messenger</a>. <br/><br/>I suggest you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/install-2121155" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTALL">INSTALL</a> MSN Messenger once you have disabeled Messenger. (It wil no longer show in your systray) you can <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/simply-248966" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SIMPLY">SIMPLY</a> re-enable it using the same program.re-configure the firewall in sp2?</p></body></html>

52.	Solve : Bbdaniha.exe?
Answer» <html><body><p>Almost everyday I have a problem shutting down my computer because of this Bbdaniha executable. Instead of shutting down normally, Bbdaniha has a problem and I always have to click the "end now" button. <br/><br/>This executable resides in my C:\windows\system32 directory, and BBDANIHA.EXE-0AAC6A4D.pf is in my C:\windows\prefetch directory.<br/><br/>I have no idea what this stuff is!?

Files in your prefetch folder can be safely removed. Emptying your prefetch folder on a regular basis prevents that folder from taking up too <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/much-249971" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUCH">MUCH</a> diskspace.There's nothing in the startup folder (under msconfig) and there's no listings in the add/remove programs.<br/><br/>I'll try removing it from the prefetch folder (what is a prefetch folder?). And I'm sure I can move the .exe file.windows uses prefetch to speed booting times....leave the exe in there ...if after 3 days has passed windows will dump it...Thanks, I'll give it a try!!</p></body></html>

53.	Solve : my computer won't open any program?
Answer» <html><body><p>I have this really big problem with my computer. I had two anti virus programs installed (AVG and Norman) and about a week ago AVG detected some Trojan horses and worm called agebot or something like that. As far as I know, both of them were removed successfully. But after that, when I turned on my computer again, the problems began. Since that, I haven't been able to start several programs like Musicmatch jukebox, Windows Media Player or a program that connects my computer to the internet. But Word, Explorer, Outlook and all anti virus programs work. <br/>I looked at processes in task manager and I found out, that whenever I tried to open i.e. Musicmatch jukebox, a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/process-11618" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROCESS">PROCESS</a> called mmjb.exe started, but after few seconds it disappeared. Also my CPU ussage is often 100% even if I don't have any programs running. <br/>When I have i.e. three aplications open(explorer and anti virus programs), they only show in task manager applications but not on taskbar. Whenever I want to switch the programs I have to run Task manager by pressing ctrl alt delete and switch them from there.<br/>I also noticed, that copy-paste function and links in explorer don't work. Whenever I want to start Windows media player, I get the message: "can't perform operation, low memory." <br/>I tried to solve a problem by using system tools like Windows back up, but the application doesn't open. When I try to open system restore, a window appears, but it is all white. I tried to update my comuter by visting microsoft.com, but all links on that page work normally expect Windows Update.<br/>I really don't know what to do, please help me. Thanks! what operating system have you got it helps..scan for trojans ....svchost exe?><a href="http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/">http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/</a>Windows XPyes, many of svchost.exe processes are running...some of them maybe genuine? run the scan...and what was the worm called?and run an online scan as well><a href="http://housecall.trendmicro.com/">http://housecall.trendmicro.com/</a> also disable system restore ...and then run the scans...I ran the scan and 3 viruses were found - html mh tredir.g, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dos-432778" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DOS">DOS</a> agobot.gen and troj ntserv.a ... I also used antivirus program Nod32 and it found a trojan called noclose.gen... All of the viruses were removed, but nothing has changegd...<br/>how can I disable system restore?<a href="http://www.theeldergeek.com/system_restore.htm">http://www.theeldergeek.com/system_restore.htm</a>I can't open system restore application... When I click on system restore, a new window opens, but it is blank...Depending on how effective the virus has been you might be looking at a reinstall.<br/><br/>Do you have a rescue disk or virus scan disk that can boot indepentdent of the OS? <br/><br/>Running this might eliminate the viruses and allow you to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/repair-1185018" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REPAIR">REPAIR</a> the system.<br/><br/>I'd also advise running a single AV program rather than two at once.I'm thinking about formatting disk. I have two disks - can I format only one i.e. "C" and keep all my documents and other files on disk "D"? And will I be able to read files after reinstalling windows xp?Yes.I've just realised I can't move my files from one disk to another, because copy-paste doesn't work and neither does "move to" function. I really don't want to lose all my data. Do you have any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/idea-770073" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IDEA">IDEA</a> what to do? I guess I have to reinstall OS... Do I lose all my data when I do that? Are there any other chances to keep these files? I can't copy them to CD...Have you tried dragging and dropping your files onto the other HDD? <br/><br/>Why can you not copy files? Does it give you an error? How big are the files you are trying to save?<br/><br/>what do you mean by dragging and dropping them to HDD? How can I do it?<br/>there are no error messages. It just doesn't work - i can't even copy <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/text-11613" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TEXT">TEXT</a> in Word... It looks like a whole copy-paste function doesn't work. The files are quite big - about 70 Mb each...Select the file, keep the LMB (Left Mouse Button) pressed and drag the files to the other HDD (Using Windows Explorer or My Computer) and then release the mouse button to copy. <br/><br/>I am assuming that both HDD's are connected and they are both being detected by Windows.</p></body></html>

56.	Solve : Desktop, XP is slow to boot??
Answer» <html><body><p>Hello and thank you for taking a look at my problem.<br/><br/>My desktop has XP Pro SP3 & it became slow to boot. It was taking longer and longer to boot over time.<br/>Each time I turned it on, the startup screen would show the Windows logo with a blue bar at the bottom and just before it does the keyboard check, the blue bar freezes for up to a minute.<br/><br/>From there, the procedure continues to the blue screen and hangs again sometimes for several minutes. (up to about 30 minutes I've tested before I switch off the power and try again.)<br/>Sometimes it takes several attempts to get to the desktop. <br/>Other times when I start up, the boot sequence is reasonably OK and skips through the keyboard check quickly, continuing on to the desktop and operating normally. <br/><br/>Is there a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/way-246442" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WAY">WAY</a> I can test for conflicts that might be causing this please?<br/><br/>Thank you InmoGuru. How long does it take to boot to safe mode? If the boot is normal to safe mode, let's try a selective startup:<br/><br/>Open msconfig and on the General tab choose "selective startup" (uncheck all three items) and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, start adding items back to msconfig one or two at a time, rebooting after each change, until the problem reappears and you'll have identified the offending process. This is clearly a time consuming procedure, but it is the best way to determine if some process loading with the system is the cause of your problem.<br/><br/>After you've isolated the cause, do not use msconfig to permanently disable the process. Instead, if it is a service go to START - RUN and type: services.msc (then press enter) and disable the service OR, if it a program, you can download & run a simple app such as Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel (<a href="http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml">http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml</a>) to enable, disable, or otherwise manage startup programs.<br/>Thanks Allan.<br/><br/>I'll run through that procedure and get back to you to let you know what happens.<br/><br/>If I go quiet for a while you'll understand why.<br/><br/>The last few additions to programs were "Samsung Kies", "HJT", "CCleaner","Coreldraw 14 suite", "Password finder" and "XNView"<br/><br/>Personally I'm thinking Samsung Kies as the highest possibility in that list.<br/><br/>It was happening before I added <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/corel-2545113" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COREL">COREL</a> so I don't suspect that one in particular.<br/><strong>StartupLite</strong><br/><br/>Download <a href="https://www.malwarebytes.org/StartUpLite.exe">StartupLite by MalwareBytes</a> to your Desktop. <br/>Doubleclick <strong>StartupLite.exe</strong> to launch the program. <br/>Ensure the <strong>Disable</strong> box is checked. <br/>Click <strong>Continue. </strong><br/>A pop up message will tell you the unecessary startup items in your list have been disabled and ask you to restart your computer. <br/><strong>Re-start</strong> your computer. <br/>With all possible respect, I'd rather the individual chooses what startup programs to enable and disable than a piece of software. We are also trying to troubleshoot the startup problem Thanks Allan for your help.<br/><br/>This computer starts in safe mode and takes about 2 minutes to the desktop screen.<br/>I tried it a few times to see if there was any changes in the safe mode startup. Not so.<br/>I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I have rarely started in safe mode.<br/><br/>At least it was consistent.<br/><br/>One thing did occur though on a restart in ordinary mode, that was, the computer cycled through the restart 3 to 4 times before settling down to useable/desktop.<br/>However there after, the computer has started in one cycle since. So I don't know what that was about?<br/><br/>I picked up another 1 gig of ram and inserted it, so now this computer is running with 3 Gig of ram. Although that doesn't seem to have improved its speed or useability at all.<br/><br/>Another thing that I have tried, is to clean all the dust from inside the case, the fans, the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/thermal-706916" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THERMAL">THERMAL</a> sink & any other area of interest, added a 1 gig ram stick, (after reseating the others one by one & testing the performance and stalling issues). <br/>I removed the chip, cleaned it & re-administered a new cover or thermal grease, replaced all and while I was at it added a second CD, Dual layer burner. (Because it was there). ( I don't know if that was a smart thing to do or not yet, but the case was fully disassembled at the time & that's the best time to instal a burner).<br/><br/>All in all, there has now been an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/improvement-249241" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IMPROVEMENT">IMPROVEMENT</a> in the startup procedure and it doesnt seem to be hanging any more, but the computer still takes a long time to open windows of different sorts, web browser, programs, windows media player, office/word. I would have thought the addition of an extra 1 Gig of ram would have improved it overall.<br/><br/>Allan, I will try the msconfig procedure you suggested and follow through with that next.<br/><br/>I appreciate too Superdave's suggestion and it may just speed up the process of going through things one by one. Perhaps even <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/give-468520" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GIVE">GIVE</a> me a bit of an idea where to look for any conflicts but I'll do it all by the numbers so I have a clear understanding of what I am doing. After all I have the time on my hands now that I'm not working for a while. Save for the fact that its nearly Christmas & everyone will be busy stimulating their respective economies for a while.Well that was easy SuperDave.<br/>I ran the program and this desktop now loads very quickly without hanging at all.<br/><br/>Maybe there was some kind of issue in one of the programs at startup.<br/><br/>Thanks for your help SuperDave.<br/><br/>Allan, as the computer seems to have settled in nicely now, I dont see the need to continue with your suggestion, however I will keep in mind if there are any detrimental effects in the future for me to try if required.<br/><br/> I hope everyone has/had a great Thanksgiving. Cheers.</p></body></html>

57.	Solve : Setting up a Kiosk style workstation?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hey All,<br/><br/>So I have 2 computers that I need to have open to public use. Obviously I want the user accounts to have <strong>extremely</strong> limited functionality, but there are also a few other things that I would like to add into it.<br/><br/>First, I'd like a message at log in that would inform the user that they have 5 minutes (or whatever) before they are automatically logged off.<br/><br/>Second, I'd like to have the browser highly limited on domains that it can access. In fact, I'd like to make it like 3-5 domains that it will allow.<br/><br/>It's kinda like a kiosk setup, but without any custom program/shell... like a library computer with a few more limits.<br/><br/>Anyway, if anyone knows of either a free software that can do this for me, or how to set it all up (or a reference list of how to do it), I'd be fantastically grateful.<br/><br/>-KyleActually if you are using XP, then Microsoft actually offers a program called Steady State. Install on an admin account and you can control the other accounts on the PC. Disable software install, create opening messages, set time limits, disable usb and way, way more.<br/><br/>Just do a search for Steady State and you will find it available for download and the manual is still on Microsoft's website. Although if you are decent with PC's you can figure it out pretty easy. You can also o a quick search for Steady State Alternative for other options.Question.<br/>You said about 5 web sites. But Web sites link to other web sites. Do you want that?<br/><br/>Also, do you really want dynamic content? Could you not just download the pages you want and nerve them to people?<br/><br/>How you talked to a Librarian to learn how they do it?<br/>Chrisxs5 - Thanks. I'll have a look at that. I'm definitely not <em>bad</em> with computers... so yeah. I was thinking about writing an autohotkey script or something but figured I'd check to see if there was a less intensive way of doing it. So thanks.<br/><br/>Geek-9pm - Honestly, linking would have to be fairly limited. Most of the links would be reference links. So I could probably say enable the links on the first window, but not any subsequent windows. Also though, I will probably cache/download most of the content so that other domains don't become an issue.Some schools, public libraries and internet cafes use special software filters to prevent people from going to unwelcome web sites. <br/>The <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/general-238723" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GENERAL">GENERAL</a> term is called "Content Control"<br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-control_software">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-control_software</a><br/>You have to buy it from someone who has already done the work.

Basically just whitelisting for the internet. <br/><br/>Salmon Trout & patio - HOSTS will work if needed, however SteadyState also has built-in features for exactly what I need. The drawback is that it leaves me stuck with using IE when I personally prefer FF. Anyway, I think I'll try hosts if I end up <em>really</em> wanting more than what I can get from SS/IE.<br/><br/>Anyway, gotta restart now. BBL!So after toying around with SteadyState a bit, it looks like exactly what I need. Can limit all sorts of stuff and even has Disk/OS protection features so that the OS can't be corrupted/damaged.

So I'm gonna read the guide and see if I can't figure it out.<br/><br/>I'll probably post back in a day or two to let you all know if I got it figured out or not.<br/><br/>Thanks again! <br/><br/>-kyle_engineerI wasn't aware it didn't like FireFox...

59.	Solve : Prevent multiple opening of the same program in Windows??
Answer» <html><body><p>Hello <br/><br/>Sometimes it happens that I double-click on an icon of a (any) program and - nothing happens.<br/>Then I double-click on it again, and (in a couple of seconds, or more) - to my surprise - that program then opens twice!<br/><br/>This usually happens when the computer's CPU is high, and it needs a couple of seconds (or more) to launch the first instance of the application.<br/><br/>So, I wonder, is there any utility program that will perhaps:<br/>- Detect the memory proces of already started application, and<br/>- prevent, or pop-out a warning-message when initiated twice (or more!)<br/><br/>Is there something of this kind already available?<br/><br/>Best regards<br/><br/><br/>This sounds very similar to a problem that I am having with my Dell desktop.<br/><br/>Both Allan and Superdave have made suggestions to me about how to tell what processes are consuming all the CPU and or memory use and making it slow to get into <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a> and programs thereafter.<br/><br/>Perhaps there might be some useful information here<br/><br/><br/>Alternately you can use the Ctrl Alt Del ( press all <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/three-708969" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THREE">THREE</a> at the same time, you need two hands to do this unless you have very long fingers) to bring up a "Windows Security' screen. Select the "Task manager" icon. It will bring up the Task Manager box.<br/><br/>Then select in the top row "Processes", from there you can see what processes are running on your computer. There is also a selection for "Performance". This will give you an idea of how hard your computer is working.<br/>It sounds like there is a program running in the background that is stealing all the memory available.<br/><br/>If you go to "Control panel" and open "System" click on that and select "Hardware" in the system properties box that comes up. You will see in the top <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/area-13372" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about AREA">AREA</a> "Device Manager", click on that. This will open another box that shows all your computers components. Check in the left hand column whether you see any yellow warning icons.<br/>You can also click on the plus signs to open each of the titles to see if there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it. These warning signs mean there is a problem with this item.To answer your question directly - No. I don't know of any existing software that does that.<br/><br/>You could write a script fairly <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/easily-964537" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EASILY">EASILY</a> (in any number of languages), but I'm assuming that you'd probably not want to do that. Also, while it is quite simple to make a taskkilling script (even with a .bat <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/file-11330" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FILE">FILE</a>), it will require a bit of good logic to filter what is user error and what is system necessity. For example "svchost.exe" is supposed to run multiple times. Killing all svchost instances results in a forced system shutdown. That's just one example of things needing multiple instances. The other thing to consider is that if you have a script or program running that is cross-checking the task list it's going to then hog more resources and delay the launch of the app even more! So yeah...<br/><br/>Honestly, the simplest and best solution - upgrade your hardware (or do some software debugging if needed) or just wait the 10-20 seconds to launch.<br/><br/>Making sure that you primary HDD is less than 50% full is a good place to start. Cleaning our un-needed programs (and especially toolbars and stuff) is a good place too.</p></body></html>

If it won't let you then you have more serious problems.<br/><br/>Start by downloading the specific hard-drive analysing tool from the manufacturer's web-site - they all have them & they are best for checking for physical problems which you may have. If you have the option, slave the drive to another machine and run scandisk from there. <br/><br/>If the .cab files are all in the same folder with the rest of the setup files for Windows (I usually put them in a folder called Win98) then you can install from there. It's a standard method of installing Windows from scratch to a) speed things up & b) avoid having to re-insert the Windows CD when hardware/software is changedinfo ><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q287914">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q287914</a> or locate the pws folder and you should find an icon called setup click this this should re-install win98 without losing any files...Thanks for the replies.<br/>Of course, without windows I doub't I<br/>'ll be seeing icons, but perhaps I can get the setup.exe to run.<br/>THanks again<br/>HalCan you not cancel Scandisk?

79.	Solve : I broke XP and now I need to wipe my RAID drives?

So, I've decided to wipe the drives and start again. How can I best do this, please ? I have another , Windows 7 , machine available. Why RAID ? ?The two drives were installed as a RAID pair several years ago. Now I want to wipe them and reinstall XP . No RAID this time.Wipe both...<br/>Unhook 1 of them and do a clean install of XP to it...<br/>Then after all drivers etc. are re-installed re-introduce the 2nd drive.Thank you, patio, I'll crack on with that tomorrow.OK, that particular route has ground to a halt. I've got ' No VGA signal ' so I can't proceed. I've swapped out the graphics card- no result. Same for the monitor. Is my mobo finished ? I hope not, it's a socket 939. At what point in the procedures is this happening ? ?<br/>Do you have video booting to the XP CD ? ?<br/>How did you wipe the drives ? ?<br/>Is the 2nd drive dis-connected yet ? ?I haven't booted the machine for many months.<br/>The last time I used it I was attempting to address the ' NTLDR is missing ' message- which of course was <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/displayed-2586485" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DISPLAYED">DISPLAYED</a> on the monitor.<br/>I put the machine aside and returned to the task yesterday.<br/>That's when the ' No VGA signal ' appeared , on first boot, and I posted here.<br/>I've swapped out the monitor.<br/>I've swapped out the graphics card- both of which are good.<br/>Message is ' No VGA signal '<br/>Any ideas ?<br/><br/>I've disconnected each of the drives in turn but can't proceed with no VGA signal.<br/>There is no VGA signal when attempting to boot from CD.Boot to the XP CD...you can delete the partition on the 1st HDD...format and then continue with Setup which will install XP.There is no VGA signal when attempting to boot from the XP CD. Try another monitor...then try the onboard video...Yes, I've already swapped monitors- no change.<br/>I'm glad you mentioned the onboard video. I would have tried that already but it's a nine pin male VGA and I've got nothing with which to connect a fifteen pin VGA monitor. It's an aging Gigabyte board, a GA- K8NXP-9. I'd never noticed the 9 pin connection before as I've always used a PCI-e card.All i can suggest then is borrow a vid card to test and swap it in there...<br/>At that point you can decide if it's worth putting any money in to it...or not.As I said, I've already installed a spare video card- to no effect.<br/><br/>Where can I get a <em>cable</em> which is 9 pin female AVG on one end and 15 pin male on the other ? What would such a cable be called ? Nope, this board doesn't have a video port. The 9 pin is a seriaL.

83.	Solve : Corrupt Registry Hive?
Answer» <html><body><p>Thanks in advance for your help.<br/><br/>This is my work computer, which has been on all morning, when suddenly it's a blue screen. I try to reboot and get "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt" \windows\system32\config\system<br/><br/>I've been researching this for the last couple hours and I do see where people have been successful by getting into the "recovery console" by selecting f8 when booting. Although, every instance says to use your "start-up" disc. I have no idea where mine is.<br/><br/>Is there any way around this?<br/><br/>Thanks guys, really, really, appreciate it.You need an XP <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cd-236847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CD">CD</a>. Once you get one, boot to it and select R (Recovery Console)<br/><br/>At the command prompt type:<br/><br/>ren c:\windows\system32\config\system system.old<br/>copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config<br/><br/>RebootI don't know where my XP cd is. Can I call a friend with one and use theirs?As long as it's the same version as yours (Home/Pro), yes. And it's even legal to do so.<br/><br/>I've also renamed this thread to something more relevant.Thank you.<br/><br/>I assume "last known good configuration" won't work? That would be too easy right, lol.<br/><br/>Is there any way I tell whether I have the XP "Pro" or "Home" addition?You have a corrupt registry hive. There are only two ways to fix it and both require an XP cd:<br/><br/>1) Replace it with a backup created by your system and stored in c:\windows\repair<br/>or<br/>2) Do a repair install<br/><br/>Unless you had the foresight to install the recovery console as a boot option (and you didn't), those are your choices. Go ahead and borrow a copy of XP - it's been so long since I've done this I'm not sure it won't work even with the incorrect version. Worst case, it won't work and you'll know you need the other version.<br/><br/>This assumes you don't have a recovery partition on your system which would allow you to return to "system shipped" state - that would be your only other possibility.<br/>By the way, in the future you should really consider creating a regular backup (image) of your drive. It will provide a safe haven to which you can return in the event of a major failure such as you are currently experiencing.Thanks Allan.<br/><br/>Well, for the moment, it appears I got very lucky (knock on wood). I went and got an XP Pro disc to boot from. Went to "R", let her run a bit, then it asked for "Admin" password, I hit enter, and got "wrong password". So I started entering "exit", kept getting wrong password. On the third try it said I had entered the wrong password too many times, and asked if I wanted to restart. So I hit "enter" to restart, and she fired up as normal, lol.<br/><br/>I'm backing up the entire system right now. This might be a lame question, it's backing up to a folder I created on my desktop, can I back it up to a disk, or thumbdrive?Backing up to the same drive serves no purpose. You MUST backup to a separate drive or off-disc medium. Here's something I put together a while ago - you might want to use disc imaging - I think everyone should:<br/><br/>Disk Imaging software takes a "snapshot" of your drive as it exists at the time you create the image. You can then restore the entire image or any file(s) or folder(s) you choose. It is a virtually foolproof way of backing up your system and providing a safe haven in the event of a catastrophe that requires you to blow away your system partition and restore it to a previous state. It also allows you to "test" various software and be confident that you have a the ability to return to the prior state any time you choose.<br/><br/> <br/>I use Acronis True Image. It is the best of <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/breed-903993" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BREED">BREED</a>, but it isn't free. The best free alternative is Macrium Reflect. <br/><br/><br/>1) I create an image of my system partition once a week to a second hard drive and keep the 2 or 3 most <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/recent-613715" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RECENT">RECENT</a> images. I also image my other partitions about once a month. I always enable "verify image" in the options. It takes a little longer, but insures a valid image.<br/><br/>2) I also create an image before performing any drive level function (ie, changing the size of a partition) or making any significant change to the OS (installing a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/service-239469" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SERVICE">SERVICE</a> pack, upgrading IE, etc). Also sometimes before installing new software.<br/><br/>3) Images may be created on any medium (cd, dvd, external drive, etc). For obvious reasons they should not be stored on the same drive you are imaging. The best option is a second internal hd if you have one.<br/><br/>4) Images may be created "in the background" within the OS. If you need to restore the system partition, that will need to be done before the OS loads. You can start the process within the application in the OS and it will then tell you it needs to reboot to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/finish-989314" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FINISH">FINISH</a> the process. Alternatively, you can boot to a "recovery disk" which you can create when you first install the software (or to the application disk itself if you have one). Other partitions can be restored without a reboot.<br/></p></body></html>

91.	Solve : WMPlayer sound distorted.?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hi there. I'm running XP Pro. Intel Core 2 Quad 2.67 GHz CPU. 3 GB RAM. ATI 6850 Graphics card. Motherboard is an EVGA 790SL. I use the Realtek High Definition Digital Audio <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/output-344913" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OUTPUT">OUTPUT</a>. When I play .wmv files in Windows Media Player, the sound is distorted. This doesn't happen with <strong>any other</strong> media player or <strong>any other</strong> file format - just that combination. I can't remember exactly when this started, but I can't shake it. Any help? Thank you!You could try downloading and installing VLC from <a href="https://www.videolan.org/vlc/">here</a> and give it a try. If it is still distorted then we'll know the problem is not with WMP but something else.Some, or many, users have reported unhappy things with the Windows Media Player on Windows XP. That is why download sites offer older versions of Windows Media Player. There does not seem to be a '<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/fix-991779" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIX">FIX</a>' for the WMP problems, except to use another version or another player.<br/>This link has relevant information.<br/><a href="https://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-windows-media-player-replacement.htm">http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-windows-media-player-replacement.htm</a><br/><em>Many like the classic Win Amp.</em><br/>As I mentioned - I have tried many players...

WMP plays the sound from the .wmv files louder than other formats and louder than the other media players, but even when I take its volume down, the distortion stays the same. The only reason I make a big <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/deal-945294" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DEAL">DEAL</a> of this is because I'm so used to watching videos on this player. I just wish I could fix this issue and get on with things. Thanks again, guys.is it your sound card? It may be when your volume goes down the sound may be damaged so it sounds distorted.No sound card; it's motherboard sound.<br/><br/>Windows Media Player playing .wmv files = distorted.<br/><br/>Windows Media Player playing other fomats= good.<br/><br/>Other media players playing .wmv files = good.<br/><br/>Other media players playing other formats = good.is the sound in your motherboard loose If it were "loose", it would be "loose" for all players and all formats.Ignore conah 10...You could give this a try.<br/><br/>Please download and run <strong>MS Fix-it </strong>from <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/mats/AudioPlayback/en-us?entrypoint=lightbox">here. </a> I tried the fix.

99.	Solve : XP installation CD doesn't boot?
Answer» <html><body><p>I am trying to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell Optiplex 360. I enter the boot menu and when I choose CD-ROM Drive I get this message:<br/><br/><strong><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/selected-1199596" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SELECTED">SELECTED</a> boot device not available. Strike F1 to reboot, F2 for setup <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/utility-772057" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UTILITY">UTILITY</a>. Press F5 for onboard diagnostics.</strong><br/><br/>The CD works because it can auto-play when I open it in My Computer.<br/>I don't know if this is relevant but in My Computer the drive is shown as <strong>DVD/CD-RW Drive</strong>, whereas in the boot menu or boot sequence in System Setup it is shown as <strong>Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive</strong>.<br/>What do I do?Which port is the drive plugged into if it is SATA? <br/><br/>If its <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ide-496683" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IDE">IDE</a>, I'd try a different CD ROM or DVD Drive if you have one available. Make sure the jumper is set correctly also if its the older IDE type. IDE is easy to identify by the wide ribbon cable if you dont know the difference, while SATA has a cable that is usually about 3/8" wide.<br/><br/>If its a Mixed configuration of both IDE and SATA such as an IDE Optical Drive and SATA HDD you will want the Optical Drive to be the Master in the chain if there is a 2nd drive on it and it is not set to Cable Select. Also in the BIOS set the Boot Order to this IDE Optical Drive first before the SATA or IDE HDD.For reference...<br/><a href="https://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/products/optix/optiplex_brochure_360_en_new.pdf">http://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/products/optix/optiplex_brochure_360_en_new.pdf</a><br/><br/>The OP needs to look at the BIOS options. But the question becomes 'why did it change?' Maybe the C MOS battery died.Both the CD drive and the hard disk are SATA. The hard disk is plugged into SATA 0 and the CD drive into SATA 1. Should I still set the CD first in the boot sequence?Yes...<br/>When you set it then press "F10 to save changes and exit"...<br/><br/>The PC will re-boot by itself.<br/>Then you will see a prompt upper screen <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/stating-7290691" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about STATING">STATING</a> press any key to boot from CD...<br/>Press any key.<br/><br/>Make sure you have backed up anything important as everything will be gone...That's the normal way to do it. But that doesn't work. It just starts from hard disk normally.What exactly does it say on this XP CD ? ?<br/>Autoplay does NOT mean it's bootable...Just like this but there's one more option: <strong>Learn more about the setup process</strong> between <strong>Install Windows XP</strong> and <strong>Install Optional Windows Components</strong><br/> Quote from: patio on January 31, 2014, 07:24:51 AM</p><blockquote>What exactly does it say on this XP CD ? ?<br/>Autoplay does NOT mean it's bootable...<br/></blockquote> So it's not bootable? Do I just click Install Windows XP and it'll do the same thing?Please answer the question above...I already posted the screenshot. Isn't that what you where looking for?NO...<br/><br/>What exactly does it say on the CD itself ? ?<br/>Did someone make this for you ? ?Sorry. <br/>It's blank. A friend of mine gave it to me with a piece of paper with the product code written there. First time I'm using this CD and first time I'm trying to reinstall on this PC.Then it's not bootable...and likely not Legal.<br/><br/>Topic Closed.</body></html>

100.	Solve : Installing xp pro?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hi, I searched Google for Xp pro, clicked on a site, gave them my cc# and downloaded it, burned it to a cd and now what? Windows setup wants a key and they did not give me one. Help!<br/><br/>Thanks alotricky1me.....Are you sure its not included in the file you D/l ? Is the site you purchased XP pro from a reputable site? Can you either Email or phone the company you bought it from and find out where the key is ?<br/>Is it a upgrade or the full version? Have a good look at the files you burned onto the disk ....look to see if there is a wordpad or notepad file there it may contain the product code. Check your Email....they may have emailed it to you. The other question is .......is it a legal copy of XP pro.......<br/><br/>Let us know<br/><br/>dl65 ricky1me....Can you please post the link of where you D/L the program from ........<br/><br/>let us know <br/><br/>dl65 Hi Thank you for your help. Yes the site has a tech support email system and I have emailed them and awaiting a reply. <br/><br/>It is an ISO file. They also give you "nero" burning cd prgm.

An ISO file is a disk image and should work "as is" after being burned.<a href="http://www.qualityoemsoft.biz/?campaign_id=21012">http://www.qualityoemsoft.biz/?campaign_id=21012</a><br/><br/>This is one just like the one I bought it at. I now can't find it on google and they are using a tech support url for the questions. Yea, I know it looks like I got taken, but I believe they are legitimate. I have gotten a reply from them and am waiting another.If I copy this ISO file to a partition and choose it to boot from it should just boot? (Using Image for Dos)ricky1me.....Hummmmm , something doesn't smell right with your transaction.<br/><br/><br/>All the software is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/oem-583253" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OEM">OEM</a>- Meaning that you don't get the box and the manual with your software. <strong>All you will receive is the actual software and your unique registration code. </strong><br/>PLEASE NOTE!

You need to burn the .iso image in such a way that the Burning program burns FOLDERS & FILES to the CDR. So you do NOT just copy the .iso image to the CD.<br/><br/>Just choose to burn an ISO image and the Burning program will do that for you.<br/><br/>Then you can look if there is a text file or somesuch on the CD itself OR it might have been made to install WITHOUT entering the Product key as some OEM installations do.<br/><br/>XP CDs are bootable so you just need to change the first boot device to CD-ROM in your BIOS.<br/><br/>If <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/anyone-380251" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANYONE">ANYONE</a> want s to check out another site here is one to try <a href="http://buyoemsoftware.com/">http://buyoemsoftware.com/</a><br/><br/>I just wonder if all of this really IS legitimate.<br/><br/>I don't suppose the site would be on the Internet if it was cheating.No is it a scam...no padlock and the source code...no listing of who wrote it?....: ricky1me follow dl65 advice...and sorry to say you are not alone on this it seems><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=oemcd%2C+Inc+&btnG=Google+Search&meta=">http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=oemcd%2C+Inc+&btnG=Google+Search&meta=</a></body></html>
