I didnt realize just how bad it was until the other day!

We have an XP upstairs and i use IE7 when im on that one and it has EVERY TOOLBAR enabled and looks disgusting!!! (Yahoo,Norton,etc)

I uncheck "lock toolbar" and then hide all the xtra garbage then click "lock toolbar" again.

Then i open a new tab OR close it all together and restart it and ALL THE TOOLBARS ARE BACK!! (My customization didnt hold) I have tried it 3 times aleady......

What a piece of crap...... (Im surprised the PHISHING FILTER remains disabled)

/rant over

you would have to close the browser after disabling the toolbars, then open again. also its best to disable those toolbars through the plugins console, tool >manage add ons

if you are not getting any signal on the monitor then it would point to the mother board, though not definitive. seeing that you swap Mother board and it booted then it would point to the board.

if you have access to another PC you can put the drive on and running a disk utility like what selwyn suggested above.

Linux also offer instruction on how to navigate and use command line. Here check out this page

Z your cache may be holding on too tight, refresh your browser and see what happen

Don't know what this might have to do with this post but just to get it out there i tried logging on around 5:45 PM and Could not get the web page at all. neither with Opera, Firefox or IE

did you format the HDD. what type of connection is the HDD sata or IDE

what kind of a PC Desktop or laptop. Dell or HP Please don't say E-Machine LOL

when you turn on the PC does the monitor light change to green then back to orange?

is the Video connection on board or a PCI card. is this a VGA or DVI connection.

now tell us what it the name of your bios in the top left hand corner of the screen or bottom left look like this

could be a memory problem Do you see anything on the screen

can you describe the beep sound it make. is it when you turn on the pc or after it tries to boot up. is it one long beep or a series of beep

if you install Linux first will will delete the drive or corrupt your linux installation UNLESS you have a separate partition to install windows. so follow Jbennet advise Windows first, then linux Ubuntu. This is a very nice operating system. I love it.

this is what your bios screen SHOULD look like, as soon as that disapear from the screen keep pressing F8 until you see a boot menu

Safe mode menu

yes teacher. LOL

choose safe mode when the box comes up type admin and enter if that does not work type administrator then enter. if that does not work leave both field blank and press enter.

I still need help. I cannot find any permissions options to deny: copy & move nor to allow create shortcut -maybe it has to do with our system: we are using Windows XP Pro on the computers and Server 2003 Standard Edition. Here is what I get for advanced security options:

Full Control DENY
Traverse Folder/Execute File
List Folder / Read Data
Read Attributes
Create Files/Write Data DENY
Create Fp;ders/Append Data DENY
Write Attributes DENY
Delete Subfolders and Files DENY
Delete DENY
Read Permissions
Change Permissions DENY
Take Ownership DENY

Deny the ones in red

once in safe mode you go to control panel, user account and any user that you see you can change/delete or disable password on the account.

about the size of a quarter, very shine and flat.

a .N2K not sure what type of file that is but it will not do. So her old profile is lost from the server. do you have a set of backup. Don't know how often you backup so it might take some digging. for example the day the new profile was created can you go back a few days maybe one day and check you backup and see if the old profile is there. then import the settings to the new one. if this is just a inconvenience it might not be worth the time or trouble. tell her to type over the emails and save then to her network store so they can be backed up each time a back up is done. so if next year her profile get mess up you can recreate and then she will still have the back up of the emails

as long as you have the key for the PC you are going to repair. and is that CD bootable. start pc, go into the bios and set the boot option to CD then HDD pop the cd in then if you get a message that say press and key to boot from cd... then you are in business.

I have a user's laptop which is currently running XP Media Center. In order to connect his notebook to the domain, I have to reformat and reinstall as XP Pro. One problem... it appears that his hard drive is SATA and I can't get the XP install disk to see the SATA drive, so it won't install.

I did go to the HP website and downloaded the drivers, but I don't think those are going to work for installing Windows as they are in EXE format, even after unpacking the "service pack" file that HP uses to distribute them. At least nLite didn't appear to recognize the files as driver files -- it was expecting inf files, which are not included.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to get Windows to install on this beast? Model is a Pavilion DV8235nr.

Ok. so to fix this issue how about booting with the windows Xp cd and choose recover console and format the HDD. or use a utility disk to clean the HDD then install XP

I have it runnings at home and on a VM machine joined to a domain group. Maybe i have a different version. ( mine came with a 10key license)

is the battery charged on the Laptop. let it remain on power for 2 hours then turn on. Some laptop will not power on if the battery is totally dead. Also can you check the CMOS battery.

micheal is correct and to add different programs call on the service hence the many instances you will see in the process tab in task manager. However, you should always check the spelling one letter off means it's a malware/spywaye. type this at your command prompt Open a command prompt and enter: tasklist /svc this will show you a list of whats running on each svchost.exe

here is a work around defrag the HDD. and this is due to the compression thats on the .WMF files and your catalog file might be damaged. try reinstalling office and set everything to run from your hard drive.when you are done open power pint and run the clip organizer and compact each category.

welcome to Daniweb

I must say i agree with Josh, why should it matter how you kill someone who is trying to kill you, on top of it, when the media is captured they want the -same military to rescue them any means necessary. but let them shoot a 12 year old boy who shot at them or if they kill a suicide bomber. we would not hear the end of it.

The media definitely release too much Quote " in the news today we are on High security alert All vehicle entering the city will be search" why tell the terrorist so then can make other arrangement or just attach somewhere else you are not protecting.

i am not before a server right now so i can't walk you through step by step. But its quite similar to right clicking on the directory choose properties then go to the security tab. and use the advance button. you can add user and chooses how they have access to the directory. if you use AD you can add a share folder set the permissions then add user or groups to have certain permission on the share folder.

That is kinda weird. so could it be the CPU was the problem or some restriction on the CPU that would not allow the user to see the printer.

when you see the bios screen press F8 that will give you boot menu choose safe mode

you can always put a HDD in the old beast and use it for some other reason test, printer server, as an archive/backup just about anything.

on your pc click start>run in the box type CMD hit enter. when the black console comes up type IPCONFIG then press enter, let us know the IP address.

can you find the old profile that the used had before the new one was created.

I have a dell Inspiron 8000 that is dead. Was working fine last time used. After pressing the power button The Hd light will flash a few times. There is a few sounds, And you can see a quick bleep in the screen and then nothing.
I have tried a different power supply, a different battery, removing the cd drive & 3.5 floppy.
This is just out of the blue it was working fine last time used. and this time it wont do anything. Anyone help!!

@ Starband, what type of sound. is it during the bios screen, when you initially push the power buttons. the last time it was used how was it turned off. does the light on the monitor comes on green or stays orange? Be as detailed as you can so that we can help

As i said if its on the server the admin would have to find that old profile (if it was backed up) and export the email setting. to the new profile.

I have a 40 GB hard drive loaded with windows xp home that has been converted to an external hard drive and an old emachines 333i loaded with windows 98 that crashed. I'm wondering if I bring the 32 bit DDRam up to minimum system requirements for xp if I can instal the 40 GB hard drive into the older machine and it will work without any other major modifications? If so will it operate fast enough with the processor speed so close to the minimum requirements or will it be too slow to bother with. Thanks.

The answer to this is never straight forward. In actuality you can. But realistically NO.
1 the hard disk when powered on in the old PC will start to recognized ALL the hardware attached and will require drives in some case (headache here) if and when you get that done you would have to activate the software again. you need the key and it still might not activate because the Key is stored at Microsoft with a specific machine code the first time you activate. and base on the spec on this Windows PC definitely a NO

you are welcome, Anytime.

go into your file server ands et the permission you want for each user and yes you can make the folder read only. as for moving the file all these can be done from the server side. disable copy, move but enable create shortcut. you can also create user profile in Active Directory and set the permission and type of access then have to different folders and files.

There are numerous software you can try to recover your HDD
R-Studio
Nucleus
most work in demo mode to give you an idea how well you data will be recovered.

For future reference when you use a restore CD it WILL wipe everything from you HDD including partitions. Basically it put the PC back to the state when you got it from the manufacturer

Do a search and choose something thats right for you. there are also free utilities you can use

These are technical documents you can read to get information on a software/hardware basically to educate you on how to make a decision if you are going to purchase the product. So in other words a sort of sales pitch

If her profile was recreated she would loose the .pst file that was associated to her account. you can try searching(search in hidden folders) on her PC for a *.pst file this will have all her recent email activity. once you find the file you can open outlook and import that pst file into outlook that will give her back what ever was saved. bare in mind if her email profile was being saved to a server then the administrator would have to find it and import it to her new profile.

If you use outlook on an exchange server MOST times your email profile is saved on the server. this give you access to all email no matter what pc you log onto when at work.

The reputation points are just a way for other to say thanks you for the great suggestion and the assistance you provided.

really? did you try. It's as simple as going to system properties and got to computer name tab. rename the PC and type the name of the domain.

Then go to control panel and change the way users log on.

basically you really don't need to be RUNNING all those at the same time. You need a firewall an Antivirus and Adware/spy ware. you can get all that in one program like norton that you are running now ( but costly to subscribe) a VERY good free one is Zonealarm contains a firewall, an application control, an Internet lock, and you can use an additional spyware/malware program,

Running too may of the same program will only bog down your system, But it's your choice. AS LONG AS THE PROGRAM DON'T CAUSE EACH OTHER TO CRASH YOU pc.

why go through all the headache. why not just rename the PC and type the name of the domain it is to join, If it is using Static IP set those if not set to automatic DHCP.

and to add when you get in the bios let us know if the drive is detected.

if the CPU fan is not working you will need to replace it. I don't know the configuration of your HP PC but all CPU's are help in place with some sort of clip and the fan is either held in place with a clip or by screws. If you are not confident that you can remove it get a technician to help.

You are welcome Mallard

you might be missing some codec and other decompresser for the video format. A good FREE program is DIVX. Also if you have all the correct DVD codec /decompresser you can use windows media player to play any DVD.

AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER put you mouse until it turns into a 2 headed arrow. Then hold and drag the box to fill the screen. you can do the same for the top left corner also. when you have it to the size you want, click on file then hold the shift key and click on close. now open IT and it will be at the same size you set.
