Legacy Operating Systems

Alright, I've already searched for similar problems like mine but still having problems..... Whenever I open up my WLM I get this annoying pop up from Windows Installer: "http://i37.tinypic.com/2eg8kfa.jpg" Saying..."Please wait while windows installer blah blah....." Why is this???? I already uninstalled WLM then installed it again. I also dead the Clean Up Utility etc.. Please..can anyone figure out why this is going on? Or is this normal?? Thanks!

Every time I open OE6, either from IE7 or an outlook express icon on my desktop, it acts like it is going to start, then displays my contact list in the left corner, then hangs up and does nothing. I close it with the red x or right click at the bottom and it says the program is not responding.. I hit "end" and then restart it again and it opens up fine.. Go figure!!! Any ideas??? -- Paintwagon

I am certainly looking forward to the future in computing. There will be so many opportunities and sky computing certainly looks more promising now as time goes on. However, I for one am a guy who likes old-school computing while enjoying new computing as well when it is needed to accomplish the task at hand. Windows Vista has been available for a while now and now we also have Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and soon will have Windows 7. Meanwhile, the browser wars are really heating up and Google has gotten into the act with its Chrome browser which I have not bothered to try out yet but know I will eventually try it out on the Windows XP Professional s…

I have a really great program that I used to use for special effects on a project that I do. For some reason, this program will not work on Win98se. What's really puzzling is that it gives me an "Out of Memory" error. Well, it used to run just fine on a 386 computer with 16 megs of Ram and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. I now run a pentium III 1ghz, with 512M ram, and Win98se. So, I know it's not a lack of memory, and I tried it with nothing else running, not even startup programs. Obviously, there is something about this program that dont get along with Win98. Aside from running Win3.11 on an old computer, I'd like to find a workaround to run it on Win98.…

IIRC only older versions of Zone Alarm firewall will work properly in Win98, Jim. If you're NOT running Zone Alarm v6.1.744.1, uninstall it now. [if you're connecting to the DSL modem via a router, the router alone should provide adequate protection for the Win98 box. Others here are sure to disagree with me but so be it.] Moving on...…

Aloha all. I recently went to look in my Temporary Internet Files folder, and an error saying "Your Current Security Settings Do Not Allow This Action." I've gone in to this folder many times before, although not recently. Obviously something changed on my system, but I do not know what. How can I fix these security settings so I can access all my files and folders? I am the administrator, and the only user of this computer. Many thanks!

When attempting a shut down I am presented with the usual message not to turn off computer. The System is now hung on "Installing update 1 of 24". The computer has been in this state for several hours and I have no idea what to do. I have searched for a solution but have not seen any resolution. I am using WinXP Pro SP 2 on a 2.8 Ghz System. Can anyone off a safe solution? What would happen if I turn off at this time? Thanks. Jake

My am unable to install v2.50727. System is XP home SP3. Have tried windows update and a direct file download, both fail. It seems without this, my Sage 2009 software will not complete installation properly. Reports microsoft .NET assembly registration problem and raised an error report to MS.

is it possible to install programs from one computer to another by exporting the registy folder and keys, for that program, to an external hard drive, then enter that information into the registry of the other computer.??? Thanks for any info -- Life is a treasure; spend it wisely

Hello, I'm trying to copy my old vinyls from a turntable to CDs but there is no sound coming from my speakers and there is no connection between the turntable and the computer in spite of all cables perfect adjusting. I'm even using the free audio program Audacity with the same result. However, my speakers works when playing a CD direct from my computer. Please, explain to me what to do.

Re: System sound problem I had the same problem. Your answer took care of it immediately (without re-start) Thanks.

I just installed service pack three and upon re-starting I get the following error message: Windows - No Disk Exception processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c It has buttons at the bottom: cancel, try again, continue. I have tried each numerous times but to no avail. What is wrong? What do I need to do?

Hello (Apologies for crosspost, I do not know where to post it. Searched something similar without result.) I'm new to EFS. I would understand how to use it and to expect from it. I have read many sites and many theory but not much I have found in practice. I have done the following things. I have crypted some files using the property tab of a directory. After, I have exported the private key in a separate file. I have set the flag delete if successful export, and it told me something like "you can not anymore delete or decrypt..." I am confused now, because I CAN STILL open and do everything with these files. So, what is the point of exporting …

How do I "format" during installation as asked?

I want to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows XP. I have the XP CD. I have partitioned my hard drive into C and D drives but I only want to format C and just leave D alone. Can this be done? My reason for doing this is to clean up some applications that don't work correctly and I've been unable to fix them. Reformatting at this point seems to be my only option. I have already copied all the directories and files to an external hard drive so I can reinstall them easier. Thanks for any help on this. Pat
