just renooting windows will do it for most .inuse usually means it still in memory from when you opened it to view it ,

Hi, this PROGRAM will show you what chipset your board has

Your welcome .thought it might be the one !!

you tested the video in the other computer did you test the monitor on the othere computer ,also a weak power supply could cause this ,also try disconecting the keyboard and mouse ,and boot computer

try this one .
Everest

type bootmanager into a google search !

true, but not all have the skill to do that, and running a peer to peer via a cable may seem easier to some. also if both computers have internet access he wouldnt even need the crossover cable...to each his own.

True! A USB transfer cable will do to ,much faster and easier to use than the crossover

go back to the bios and load default setting instead of optimal

it would be quicker to pull the harddrive from one machine and slave it in the other computer and copy the files via window explorer

Folks -- I just today found this site and have a question about Win XP.

My Dell Inspiron 4000 Notebook running XP has started to lock-up (freeze) and sometimes goes to the blue screen of death. It’s possible that some files might have been corrupted, not sure. My question: can Win XP be re-loaded on top of it’s self with out losing or having to re-load applications or reformatting the HD? Win ME would do this and it saved me many times. Before trying with XP, thought I’d ask those that are smarter then me.

If this has already been posted/answered, please forgive me and point me to the answer.

Thanks for any help, Joe

The link to the software i provide does work Caperjack i have been using it for quite a while. I however will not give instructions on how to use it. Just make sure that you read everything very very carefully.
I don't know about you guys but when i build a system I don't put a floppy drive in. I have no use for one when i can use a bootable cd, second what good does it do you if you have a password boot disk floating around this could be a huge secrutiy issue.

not to be picky but i never said the link didn't work

You need to get nero ultra ,express is just that express, quick and free ,all options come with ultra

Wait till you get the dvd -r it may come with something better than express .
as for a choice of nero over roxi it would be user preference i think ,haven't use roxi for quite some time, i also swear by nero ultra .

have you tried another mouse,tried cleaning the ball and weels .or if wireless changed the batteries

Hi!
I use Windows XP and I log into my computer with my user name. There is no "Guest" option. I recently changed my password and then immediately forgot it! :o So now I can't get into my computer as there is no other option. Is there any way that I can get into my computer and cancel my password or anything?

have you tried booting to safe mode [hit f8 on bootup]/go into admin and control panel /users and remove the password from your acct

thats no fun!LOL

Catch-er got a rubber arm Catch-er got a rubber arm ,no sorry that pitcher got a rubber arm isn't it ,oh well .Have fun and spread like a worm!lol

not likely!

boot to you winxp cd and run the repair

You need to go into the bios /setup and enable usb devices in dos if it there ,, there are usually 2 things to enable in the bios for usb devices ,there are in preferial devices i do believe,.should work !

Theres always someone listening !LOL

No! each browser has its own settings

dust/dirt,burned out fan , .excess heat ,have you cleaned out your computers fans lately

Hi Janine... as much as misery enjoys company, I appreciate the thought, but I really would like to know what the root of this problem is. I'm not networking, so that's not an issue. Catweazle had tried to help in another thread believing that some aspect of my software was addressing a network connection failure, I thought that we had taken care of it, but the deletion that took care of it wouldn't remain deleted. I had indicated that it had been a fix for the moment, but I would wait and see, and I have to assume the he took this as the end of the problem as he didn't respond to the last reply in that thread. Being an electrican who works with programable logic control sytems, I know that a small glitch can eventually become a large problem, so I'm always motivated to find the cause, whether it's benign or not. Having said this, yeah... it's nice to know that someone else has the same problem.

Hi,i don't see it as a problem!an annoiance maybe , but if you are in dialup for you internet connection and have no network set up on you computer try going into control panel open network connections ,right click on the icon inside and go to properties and uncheck show icon in notification area when connected .this will get rid of the icon by the clock

Thanks for the reply. I ran the software on the Emachine and it worked. Thanks.

great. it nice when something actually works

that will work to lock it ,but won't restore the missing desktop feature in the display properties ,will it !

me to and im using xp home ,so maybe thats only avabile in xp pro ,i will see if i can find any more info

The computer was infected with a virus and now I am unable to get my background to change it's just a black background and I want something better. I right click and it only shows screen saver and setting tabs and nothing for the background like it usually does and I even try control panel and all that crap and still the same thing. Someone please try to help me. The computer was supposedly fixed by those geniuses at best buy.

Hi, I'm a newbie, can anyone tell me how to change the annoying OE envelope? You know the one I mean- the one that sits in the tray when you get new mail!! It's driving me bonkers. Anyone help please??

life is like that! ,what would you like to change it to ,so you don't go bonkers .

agree ,leave it, but having said that ,the one i removed the user uses outlook,and hasent complained yet !

express is removable in control panel/add and remove programs .add and remove windows components .did it the other day on a computer,no complaintes from the owner yet !!

my opinion would be to sell it and buy a new p4 that will do the job for you .good luck

thanks. got all the latest updates, but still not working. Any ideas?

if you are using xp ,try this .
Start/run type in SFC /Scannow

get the latest window updates ,i do belive thee is a installer update there .

you should go to the security section of this website for spyware removal .
Security

, and its not only the mp3 files its also video files such as mpgs.

So ,why do you say corrupt mp3s' ,sounds more like maybe some settings in you sound setup ,do you have any software installed belonging to your sound card ,if so check it to be sure all is setup right ,or maybe even go to the sound card manufactor website for updated drivers for the card .

Take computer to computer shop and have them determine what type of ram is in it,and add some for you .
