I had a simple 2 computer network at home, both with Windows XP, 32-bit. They were networked through the router and the printer was shared. The printer is a Canon MP530 that does not have an Ethernet jack, just a USB hookup. All worked well, with both computers being able to access the one printer.

Roxio 10 and Audio Capture
by Guest Greg- 1 reply
- 154 views
I have a Dell Vostro 1500 notebook with Vista Home Premium on it. Currenty I am running Roxio Ver.9. The audio capture only detects the on board mic (has a mic/cam combo on the lid). XP is different. I had it loaded on the notebook at one time and it would capture different audio instead of just the mic. Does anyone know if Roxio Ver.10 has fixed this? Or is this unique to Vista? Thanks, Greg

Extra 'My Documents' Folder
by Guest David- 4 replies
- 224 views
Recovering from a complete reinstall, I somehow wound up with a complete second set of "My Documents" The properties of this My Documents" folder say it is a shortcut to the target folder (which is OK) I would like to get rid of this extra My Documents folder. I have tried the register edit from http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_favorites.htm, except it doesn't really tell me what to do after I get to the correct entry. Also, I don't really see where TweakUI addresses this problem either. Would welcome any suggestions. Dave

Hi All, I use a program called Movie Magic to edit my home video clips. Yesterday I noticed when I clip on it, a window opens with a title of SFR. The window tells me that Windows is configuring SFR and a progress bar appeas. This happens several times in rapid sucession, as if several different elemets are being installed. There is a cancel button, whch after clicking several times closes the window. I have tried to look up SFR on the web, but have had no luck. Does anyone know if that is an actual Windows process being done? I'm running WinXP with SP# installed. Thanks for any advice.

In some XP installations, I've noticed that setting the Performance, Memory usage, Adjust for best performance of System cache results in a non bootable system, taking longer time to load profile then unloading it, in a endless loop. Anyone else experienced this and have a solution to this issue? In some cases, the hardware and software is identical, cloned. As always, any help would be appreciated.

Keyboards/Mice

Hi, We have 1 PC with 2 cloned monitors. The monitors are in seperate offices, about 30 feet apart. What we need to do is to be able to have each monitor have it's own keyboard & mouse to control the screen. We are running XP. My questions are: 1) Can you do thing with Windows configuration, or some type of inexpensive software or hardware. 2) Since the monitors are cloned, I assume that what happens on one happens on the other. 3) If we wanted 2 seperate monitors on the same PC, what is involved in that? If I could get some help, it would really be appreciated. Thanks!

I often have occasion to copy or move large blocks of files from one partition to another. Win XP SP2 has never told me yet that it has lost a byte here or a byte there. Can I assume that all transfers are done flawlessly and with zero data loss? Will Windows let me know if it accidentally loses or mangles a few bytes while transferring data? -- Walter http://www.rationality.net -

Primary disk, dynamic, volumes: System, Applications, Data, some allocated space and a second disk mirroring all three volumes, and same allocated space. All system is crashed because 0 bytes free space is available in System volume. Even delete unnecessary data, free space record doesn't increase, still is 0.

I checked, security, so administrator has permissions enough to delete both, file and folder. No event viewer records in system or application logs giving interest…
