Have No Power Options Control
by Guest Stan- 1 reply
- 274 views
I just reinstalled my OS (XP-SP3 with all current updates) on my laptop and when I went to configure my Power Options, it will not save any of my changes/additions. BTW, I am signed in as administrator with all rights. I have always created my own custom power options on all of my computers and have never come up against this before so I have no idea…. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Regards,

Nero backup freezes
by Guest Hamish- 1 reply
- 340 views
I have been using Nero backup for 2 years, to make two backup DVDs a week. About a month ago it was making a backup disk, burnt it OK, but hung up during the data verification stage. I came to the computer two hours later and the DVD burner was still spinning. The computer was so hung up that in order to clear the hang I had to pull the power cord. After that, I re-loaded the Nero suite, re-set-up my two backup jobs (each about 3 gB), set one of them up to run right away, and it hung up again. I have checked the backup disks and they seem to contain the proper data. So the program still writes the backups OK. It's just that it does not complete…

No golden bar shown at the top and can't download file

I tried to install adobe flash player to my Windows XP SP2 laptop by following the steps. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=DINNK However, after I press "Agree and install now", I moved into http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/flash/trigger/en/1/index.html However, I didn't see the golden bar at the top such as "The site might require the following ActiveX control ...". No message shows anything was blocked. Nothing! It is wierd, and I guess my registration table might be modified by some software without my attention. Any idea to solve my problem? Thank you very much.

VPN PPTP Problem

Hi, I'm having this problem since a few weeks now and just can't get around it. I have WinXP SP3 on two laptops. I can use VPN PPTP to connect to a particular server on one laptop but not on the other. The problematic laptop gives me a message error 628: The connection was terminated by the remote computer before it could be completed. For further assistance, click More Info or search Help and Support Center for this error number. I tried reinstalling WinXP on this laptop and the VPN worked fine on a fresh install of windows only to give the same problem again after a while. Anyone ever had the same weird problem? I don't think its related to firewa…

Irregular Boot.ini
by Guest Beyond X- 4 replies

I partitioned the harddisk into two parts and have set up a dual boot system with two separate operating systems. Normally there should be two lines in the boot screen so that one can select one of the two systems. In my case there should appear as below: Windows 2000 I Windows 2000 II with clock counting This time, for some unknown reasons, there appears three lines as below: Windows 2000 I Windows 2000 II Windows 2000 (Default) There, "Windows 2000 (Default)" is hilighted and If I don't move to another, the computer clashes. Also there is no clock counting the preset time. If I select "Windows 2000 I" or "Windows 2000 II", it proceeds to boot …

Windows Installer keeps crashing my laptop!
by Guest CathrynH- 4 replies

I had a trial version of Microsoft Office 2007. I can't get on with it and most of my clients aren't on it so it isn't of much use to me. I decided to uninstall it through the control panel. I obviously haven't managed to do this properly as it still features in the list of programmes, although I can't access any of the components. Since then, the Windows Installer keeps popping up telling me it is preparing to Install (it never specifies what it thinks it is going to do!). It often appears if I try and do anything in Outlook, but also in other Office applications. It causes the whole system to hang and eventually crash. When I try and open a 20…

Removing no longer used notification items from taskbar and startu
by Guest edimerq- 3 replies

Is there some way to remove no longer used notification items from the Taskbar and Start menu properties? I mean that place you find when you --- Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of the desktop, (click Properties), (click Hide inactive icons), (click Customize) then look in (Past Items). In that place there is a antivirus 2009 folder, which is a virus I already removed from my computer, and that is the only thing I am not able to remove. I don't want to download any more softwares to remove it. I've already done that. I just want to know if there is a way to remove things from that place on my own. -- emm

(I posted this in the Office groups with no replies, you guys (ladies) are smart, so I thought I'd try here) Hi, My icons in the ribbon bars are fuzzy in Word 2007, Excel 2007, etc. My computer is perfect, Nvidia 8600gt card, latest drivers, etc. All my programs are perfect except Office 2007.
