Simple Font Installation?
by Guest Jay- 3 replies
- 183 views
Greetings! I am trying to copy some fonts from one XP machine to another. These are TrueType fonts. Is it possible to just copy/paste them from the Fonts folder of one machine into the same folder on the other? I've done it successfully that way on one machine, but on another I get the message like Windows is using the font and it cannot be replaced. If I'm not running any apps, and the font hasn't been installed yet, then how can Windows be using it? Thanx,

System restore problem
by Guest Theslaz- 7 replies

Trying to remove my old restore points. Reason being; I had a virus; cleaned that up; however; my virus program still shows a virus in my various system restore files. I have tried; several times; turning of system restore and then rebooting. However; when I go back into the settings; it shows that system restore is still turned on and monitoring. I would have thought that it would stay turned of. I did another virus scan and it appears that the only system restore files showing a virus are on the "C" drive. My other 4 drives don't show anything; whereas before turning of system restore they would show a virus. So it appears that some files where rem…

Sound Balance Not Working Correctly
by Guest FARAZ QURESHI- 2 replies
- 169 views
I was using the Adobe Audition in editing and finishing a single sound record file when the electricity broke-down. However, upon resuming I am quite surprised that all my music collection isn't working properly: 1. Upon opening the Master Volume and increasing the sound the music plays but without voice (i.e. only the beat and the music); 2. However, when I drag the Balance Button of the Master Volume either to left or right, the complete music plays with vocal components of song, but when I bring the Balance Button back in the mid, once again the voice is lost and only the music is playing; 3. Furthermore, while being on either left or right, both t…

Changing faulty motherboard
by Guest kleefarr- 3 replies
- 212 views
I read that changing a motherboard is now considered as a being a new computer by Microsoft and requires a new licence. This doesn't seem very fair if the motherboard has become faulty and needs replacing. Will he have to get a new licence if I change his motherboard? It will be a second hand one and not new.

fatal error in WinXP repair
by Guest gtforce- 1 reply

After a PC crash, I restored a backup from external hard drive. Upon restarting Windows, I immediately got errors, so I tried repairing WinXP. It gets through to the restart, and I get the "cannot find 'asms'" error (as I've seen on several threads here). I changed the path to C:\i386\ and it found it ok. But now it gets stuck on "The GLOBALROOT\DEVICE\CDROM0\NT5INF.CAT catalog file could not be found..." I tried copying this file from another laptop onto a CD, but it does not recognize it. I've read a few suggestions about slipstreaming SP2, but the recovery CD I've repaired from is WinXP Pro including SP2 - Shouldn't everything already be on there? …
