Explorer is fine fine fine for me ;-). No need to have a shell replacement for 2000/XP :-P.

Google Search: rar password recovery (http://www.google.com/search?q=rar+password+recovery&sourceid=firefox&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)

Have you recently updated your video drivers?

What is the result of subst?

When people experience problems and post them on TechTalkForums, they often have a hard time describing the entire situation. Including information about basic things is very important; nothing...

Open the Command Prompt (Windows XP Dos Prompt), and type the command "subst". Report back what it returns (if it returns anything -> it might say nothing and then return you back to the same prompt...

Well, I have another suggestion. Grab and install Smart BootManager (http://btmgr.sourceforge.net), an open source boot manager. Smart BootManager features an option for "Toggled Extended Int 13H"....

And this goes to say.. most problems are easily corrected by a format, but formatting isn't always the best or quickest move.

Waiting a day or two and asking around could solve you a week of...

Well, before you format..

Try booting up in safemode with the Maxtor Controller, and revert back to the Windows ATA Drivers...

Well, I figured it out :-). It was the Norton Protection on the Recycle Bin. It grabbed my 75gb of files, and a quick purge fixed it.

Yes. 75gb wouldn't go to the Recycle Bin anyways - I did a Shift-Delete. :-(

NTFS can handle way more then 300gb. I need a solution that does not require reformatting....

I have a 303gb partition using NTFS (under WinXP), and it had 1.02gb free. I went to delete a 75gb folder, and upon its deletion, explorer still reported that I had 1.02gb free.

Ran a diskcheck,...

Start -> Run -> Type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes).

On the Advanced tab, uncheck (or uncheck, your post is unclear) "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete"

Please go to Help -> About and tell us what version of Mozilla your running. Sounds like your running an old old one.

If all else fails, I reccomend running a System Restore. Use this website (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306084) as a guide to using System Restore.

Upon some research, this issue is caused because the laptop is using 120dpi fonts - not the normal size. This is because the screen resolution is so high, that anything smaller, and you would go...

When you login, make sure you log in like this:
Username: DOMAIN\Username
password: yourpassword

When logging into an AD network, ALWAYS login with the DOMAIN\Username format.

Interesting enough, its ONLY on images in Internet Explorer. Even text inside of images looks pixelated and rough. Text not in images look fine. This is really annoying..!

Partiton Magic would resize your partition, but not with Windows Server 2003 installed. It checks the OS installed on the drive (even if you boot up on the disk) and if you are running a server os,...

Yeah, actually, when you try to change the resolution it warns you about non-native resolution.

This is a 15.4" Widescreen monitor, currently running at 1920x1200.

I just recieved a brand new XP SP1 laptop. Its a Dell Latitude D800.. and its really sexy ;-)

I'm connected to a WiFi network, and I'm having the weirdest problem. It seems that all the images...

If your running Windows XP Professional, I reccomend using "Remote Desktop" - its included. In my testing, there is nothing faster then it.
FYI, it uses TCP port 3389, that may be useful for ya ;-)....

Its unlikely that your PC is shutting off because of 100% CPU usage. Its more likely that your PC is overheating and shutting off. Consider getting better cooling.

Lets get the computer working properly before we add new hardware ;-).

What motherboard are you using? My suggestion is to install the chipset drivers (sometimes called All-in-one drivers) - this will enable APM and ACPI (among other things) in XP.

I had an Intel...

How old is the computer? I reccomend contacting Compaq Technical Support.

What was done to it last to cause this state?

Are you running Windows XP? or 2000? Does it say something about an RPC error?

Wheny our computer boots up, goto start -> run, and type "shutdown -a" (without the quotes). That should cancel...

My favorite OS for servers is Windows Server 2003. Hands down. It can do everything that "other" (::cough::, nix) OSs can do, but much quicker, easier, and it can do more!

For desktop use, I...

This question might come out of left field, but what video card do you have? What version of the drivers? Theres a known problem with DetonatorFX's (Drivers for nVidia Video Cards) with setting...

Very weird. Next time you burn, have task manager open to processes view, sorted by CPU usage, and report back telling us which app is causing the problems.

And just so you know, there is a Windows update that allows you to play MCE recorded shows on any computer.

You guys don't give MS a fair shot. I rather it be easy, then have people call me up every twenty minutes asking how to record a show :-/.

Is this durring the setup process with the blue screen? or is it after you reboot and are in the windows style setup? or is this after your first boot?

Is this a burned CD, or is it a baught...

Is your computer home-built? Sounds like hardware issues...

Don't you just love answering your own questions? The answer is "My Briefcase" - and its built into Windows. It's kinda hidden in XP, theres no icon to it, no shortcut on the start menu, nothing.
...

I just got a few USB KeyChain Drives, and I'm using them to store my schoolwork. I'm just worried that I'm going to loose it :o .

On network shares, I have the option in the right click context...

Wow.. that sounds like a drastic measure. If the computer locks up like that, and the power button does not work - then push and hold down the power button for 10 seconds. The computer should turn...

Well, that could be a good reason. Try booting the cd in your computer (not VMWare)... does that work?

Okay, at the main BIOS screen, hit the right arrow key three times (Until your in the boot section) and screenshot that.

Thats actually want I wanted.. lol.

Edit: If you just looked at it,...
