yep.. it actually took me a few tries to get mine set up with xp & 7, because my hard drive is only 40GB! 20GB each for me!
-edit one of these days i want to install Linux, as well. when i get more space then i can try the Linux world too!

use the live version ,it runs fro the disk and ram ,no need for hdd space,with some live cd's you can even burn it to the dvd in what is refereed to as multisession dvd ,and you can save changes you make like browser settings and things like browser favorites and email ect ect , i made these myself about 6-7 yrs ago

how do i format my external drive to ntfs?

one way ,hook it up ,go to mycomputer ,right click on the icon for the drive and chose format ,pick ntfs from the drop down box

be careful using registry cleaners ,they usually cause as much trouble as they fix ,and usually only fix a few problem and want you to pay to fix the other items it finds

ccleaner as now when you install it about keeping good cookies when a scan is done may have something to do with that ,

It was a cheap generic screen, I guess you get what you pay for!

well at least you can try getting the proper one and try again or just make a desktop computer out of it

did you replace it with a Dell replacement ,or did you use a generic nockoff .
either way , i think your assumption about the lcd being faulty of maybe the power inverter was/went bad

During the years >1998, there was no popular version of Windows until after Windows 98. Windows 98 was the deal breaker when Windows ME came out.

[[[[
i don't get it ,that makes almost no sense to me

so you need to put in username and password ,what make you call it a error,sounds correct to me ,a lot of registered programs work that way ,sound to me like the programs hasn't been activated correctly,if you don't have the username and password for it ,when did you buy the program and from who ,maybe they can offer a suggestion

ok i found it also read a bit about the file and its purpose.
found mine in this location .the icon has the ! ,but when i click on it opens word ,and all is ok .
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
also a normalold.dotm ,click on it and it opens word ok also .

i read if you delete the file ,office will recreate it next time you open Word,you just loose any changes you made to word defaults

hi,so many things can cause this,a bad hard drive ,not enough ram ,heat ,ect ect
first thing to do is check for viruses ,if none them using "msconfig"[type it into ,start /run ] turn of all program running at start up that don't need to be running at start up

i don't use opera ,but if you use multiple browsers maybe your still logged in on another

Netcode ,they posted already that they did or checked most things ,except maybe running the definitions updates manually ,it likely does it automatic anyway ,but wouldn't hurt to do it manually ,my Microsoft security essential shows red a lot ,and it usually just want to update or do a scan

what i don't understand is why Word opens to normal.dotm,when you click on the word icon it should open to a new document called document1,and the cursor would be at the top left,about a inch from side and top , and when you hit save as, it will show default name of doc1.dotx.

who created the normal.dotm file you are trying to work with

hard to fix something that ,sometimes it works sometime it doesn't ,i really have no other suggestions sorry

after 25 days try coming back and say hello !

could be it just needs to be updated ,i also find it funny why you pasted info from esets website and instead of going to the forum link at the top of there page, you came here to ask for help ,

your laptop should have come with webcam software installed by Lenovo does it work ok with that software .
its more likely a problem with skype

don't know much about gaming but i do know that i don't like adapter of any sort ,they just have a tendency to fugg up a lot ,my opinion ,but i do that beta means testing software for final release ,used to iron out problems with the game before the final release,so not really a good game to use for testing your new card ,in my opinion .
your new card is a 6850 ,whats the full name and model # is this it .
http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6850/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6850-overview.aspx

hi,maybe its not the webcam but the software you are using with ,what program do you use with it !

hi, i have win7 32 bit and run both 2007 and 2010 office , but if you have win7 64 bit and have office 2007 installed ,when install 2010 office it will uninstall the 2007 ,this is what happened to us anyway ,when we installed it on the 64bit laptop that had office 2007 on it

that would have been my next suggestion,good luck ,it sure sounds like a corruption in the registry

i dont know what to do

take a long walk ,come home read a book ,then throw the computer out the window .hehe

Thanks for trying. I was able to find an adapter on eBay. One side is a USB 3.0 header, and the other side is a USB 3.0 A, so I just used a USB A to USB A extension, and I was able to route that through the case, and into the back of the I/O and I plugged it in to a USB 2.0 port. This essentially makes the front USB 3.0 work as only 2.0, but at least I am able to utilize them now. The adapter was only a few dollars:

Thanks again for trying.

yeah,did see those in my search, your welcome and good luck with the micro
SFF computer

all i see is the pci-e devices

hi,why not just update to motherboard with the correct usb3 connections

edit ,i just google the motherboard and see an very small, sff, anyway ,iv google as you likely already did and i don't see any usb2 to 3 converters

yeah , what type of device ,as except for thumb-drives and card readers ,most usb devices connect via a usb cable

hi,cant say i seen that one before either !
after reading it the first thing come to my mine was i would try resetting bios to defaults

google shows a .dotm as a word doc with a embedded macro .this may help ,not positive though .

I Am having the same problem and have tried all the previous suggestions. Anything New?

for best help ,start a new thread and explain you problem in detail ,

Not to mention it's just lazy of you not to write your notes but have to cut & paste. Really??? It's that's difficult for you.

hi, you are right of course but this thread is over 3yrs old

i am trying to make a program that edits contacts on a Nokia phone using J2ME
but i don't know how to access the contacts help please

so, why did you post in the winVista and win7 forum ,maybe best look in the software developing forum .good luck.

We cant say google is the fastest browser. Even Firefox is equally good as Chrome. But there are some extra features in Chrome which is not available at Firefox.But i use both of them..

funny ,first i thought you meant it had 2 more features than Firefox ,and you used the both of them ,but then my brain kicked in ,if
chrome is so good ,why do you use both of them ,i don't see the need ,I have IE9 and Firefox 6.0 install but rarely use IE ,for some reason ,not sure what i just the feel of Firefox i guess ,never did time them to see how fast either one is .

now i know why you posted your comment ,its all in your signature !!

didn't get to make network work in it though.

checked it out ,it has a free 30 day trial,to buy its 200.00$ ,networking seems to be one of its main features ,how come it wouldn't work for you ,your answer might save me the time of downloading and playing around with it ,thanks

to add to above post ,to reduce start up programs ,go to start /run ,type in msconfig ,when it opens go to startup tab,and start from there ,safe to remove most anything ,that not showing its location in the system32 folder ,of course there are things like virus programs that you want to keep

not sure it works but it is free .i installed it just to see if it actually ran , but of course have no files to convert
download

According to my knowledge,Google provides relevant information for your search.I think 90 percent of internet users use Google as the best browser.

i think you are confusing Google's search engine,with Googles' Chrome browser

your welcome ,any questions on setting it up [like how much ram you want it to use and other settings]after the install just post back here

Oh. Is there option to make the xp full screen?

yes it runs full screen i just had it made smaller to show it was running along my opened win7 browser at the same time it was install some windows updates and updating the security essential i have install on it ,i had not had it running in awhile

hi, if you have 2003 or older installed now,this office compatibility pack should help.

I use windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. But how is that related to my problem..?

so no need to use vmware ,with the win7 ultimate version you can use windows virtual pc and xpmode., it will run side by side with win7 and you can copy and past between the 2 and much more,i have it installed and can have xp running under or beside as depicted in the attachment

from this like check off ultimate 32bit and you language and download recommended files
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

maybe it the video card ,or the psu not supplying enough power when needed ,bu im just guessing

but you say you use a vga to dvi adapter and it works ,so aren't you connecting the adapter to the same dvi on the video card that you connect the dvi cables to ,if so i find that weird

not ignoring you post ,im just lost as to an answer for you .

Yes you may be right. I got frustated with those error messages blowing again and again. So i deleted windows 7 completely and installed XP (sp2).

After my work is done , as soon as possible(very shortly) i will again shift to Windows 7 and then i'll try to install the xp using vmware.

But i need to work on some application which unfortunately has compatability issues with windows 7 and that is why i shifted to xp currently.

So again if i install xp with VMware , can i work with that application in full screen mode.?
I mean to say i should do all the stuff within that small window. So is there any way to get similar experience as really using xp.

not sure about the full screen question ,but ,what version of win7 are you using

hello give this microsoft site a look do it your self or run the fixit tool supplied on site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227

hi,first part ,sounds like a bad dvi cable

2nd part ,keep water away from the computer ,sounds like you were luck this time !
and maybe buy a new PSU as you said yourself your not sure its reliable

your welcome

They're SATA btw.

yeah ,i thought that after i posted .
anyway ,great you got it working .

It may be that a virus has changed your computers defaults for opening certain file types .

i just put it in a winxp computer ,clicked on the downloaded file and it on packed about 5 files including the utility to install the flash with a floppy drive ,
unless the update will fix a problem you are having ,i would leave it alone ,if the flash goes bad it could render you motherboard useless'

A how to from link in your posted link .
im sure you already seen it but just in case you missed it

http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/download/guide.php

i downloaded it and not a zip file its a .exe ,no bin file anywhere !,click on it and it wanted me to run it . that is where i have to stop and i don't want to risk it changing something on me.i use win7.
might i ask why you are trying to update your bios .what problem are you having that it will fix
