I do the same thing as Dtone's. I just copy the .pst file from my old Outlook. But what I do is just set up a new folder for my .pst file and just open it from outlook --> File -> Open -> Outlook...

- You may be having lots of stuff that loads on startup, check what you have loaded whenever you start up. If you find applications that are not really necessary, get rid of them.

How do you you adjust the hue/brightness? do you use the video card utility or WMP's? Does it happen to all video formats and players? what WMP version do you have?

just reboot off the XP CD, it should do all the dirty work for you (installing & formatting and all...) Prolly just a faulty installation...

Just boot from the CD, delete the existing partition, install on it.. it should re-format disk and install automatically. If you don't have the XP CD, then you have a problem... I suggest you get a...

I know one really large multi-national company here that still uses winNT, I know so coz' i resigned from working there a year ago. :) They're one of the largest company here and yet I don't see...

I'm still downloading the SP2.. I'll try it as soon as i'm done with this stupid thing at work and it finishes downloading.

I'll try that slipstreaming thing you suggested... my win xp cd is the original copy and doesn't have the service pack 2 integrated with it yet...

I don't understand why they have to develop/release/sell something new when the not so old ones still work... I mean, you have winXP, win98 and win2k... they're working fine as long as you don't...

I never really had that problem. I've used W2k with SP4 running Office97 and everything was running smoothly until that damn sasser virus destroyed my life :cheesy: then I was forced to upgrade to...

I think I remember encountering the same problem a while back. I installed windows xp, installed an antivirus and then while installing i was hooked up to the internet. I discovered that there was...

try this www.memtest86.com (http://www.memtest86.com). I really haven't tried it, but it's a memory module diagnostic program.

(blows a whistle) prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's high time we go back to the original topic of this thread, don't you?

does it show up in the device manager?

I believe this is a glitch in the winxp SP2, or so i've been told. I also experience the same thing using an optical and ball mouse. I've tried doing some reading about this and many people have...

I agree! you might've accidentally touched something inside your PC. most of the time it's the video card but just to be sure reseat other cables as well, and all those other stuff you have inside...

I agree with Catweazl, 10Gb of space for windows is enough but I'd suggest you upsize it a bit up to 20Gb. It's always better to separate all your data files from your system files, this way, it...

Go to 'control panel' .. double click on the 'System' icon and the System Properties window should appear. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on the 'Settings' button under 'Performance'. This...

Here is an excerpt from a website I found using google.

I don't think you can fix the problem without the office XP CDs. The same thing happened to me under Win2k, but fortunately, I have the CDs with me.

does the computer perform it's POST and stops at bootup? or is the monitor just simply dead when you turn it on? I agree with alex, it'd be the video card. unplug all of your USB devices and start it...

KT is correct, the quicklaunch toolbar is no different from your icons on the desktop. It's more like a smaller version of the start menu.

I would suggest you use PartitionMagic or anything of the likes. It can resize/create/remove partitions without deleting your files.

Try booting from a diskette. If you're hard drive is formatted in NTFS then download NTFS Reader DOS Boot Disk (http://www.NTFS.com) and back-up all your files. After that, you can reformat the hard...

I once saw a virus that spells scvhost.exe, I almost didn't notice it except that the anti-virus im running alerted me about it.

multiple instances of svchost.exe running at the same time is...

I've tried ICS in win98se and it's very much different from win2k. on win98se, u enable the ICS and then it installs something onto your PC and makes a setup disk for ICS clients whereas in win2k,...

what i do is, I boot to DOS Prompt, go to the win2k installation folder... \i386 and run winnt.exe. Never failed to install...

I have a desktop and a laptop, I use the desktop to connect to my ISP via dial-up. both computers are connected via a crossover cable since I only have to connect 2 PC's together. Both computers can...

what kind of mail server do you have? Imap? POP3??

nah! caper's right... it's easy to reformat, but that takes the challenge away doesnt it? if the creator of this thing is really enjoying being talked about, then i'll be talked about when i do...

Sorry, I was asking tryit. :cheesy:

where are you from anyway? MAD_DOG is right, if there's anybody who's near you might be able to walk you through using the phone. You did not wast money on the computer, you're just not doing it...
