Print Screen
by Guest Sirius- 12 replies
- 400 views
Now that I found the Clipboard viewer, I was trying to capture the desktop with the "Print Screen"button, but it does not work. When I open the viewer, all I see is blackness. When I paste it to Paint, same thing, blackness. Is this a problem with the keyboard, or the applet? How do I find out? Do I need to update something? Any suggestions would be great. Thank you. Sirius.

On a number of websites, I note that WinXP has apparently memorized items like my name, email address, phone number, and logins. But it's also memorized some earlier misspellings. Is there, and if so where is a file which contains these items? Is it editable? -- PT

Product keys & CD's
by Guest Sirius- 5 replies
- 267 views
Hello, I have a weird question, hope you don't mind. I have some windows xp cd's without product keys, genuine of course, and then I have some product keys without the win xp software cd's from computers that have dead harddrives and did not have a cd come with them because the recovery was on the harddrive itself on a hidden partition, can't get the software due to warranty expiration. home with home, oem with oem, pro with pro, etc. Sooo, I would like to know if it's possible to put the disks and keys together, should I even try or is it a waste of time. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My works calender "froze" back in April, and I can't get rid of the error message from Microsoft that shows up every time I turn on the computer, saying that there is a problem and error report has been sent.

WindowsXP 64-bit new install: any tricks?
by Guest Ken- 3 replies
- 198 views
I am building a system for my daughter, who is a design student and "needs" a system to run her CAD programs. I am told that her instructors urge that the system run WindowsXP 64-bit. I have done a number of installs of the 32-bit version; are there any tricks to installing the 64-bit version (other than checking to be sure that drivers are available for devices)? are there any websites that may be helpful? Thanks Ken Krone

Hi, at work we have a couple Dell GX620 ghosted with our standard XP Pro image. We can log onto these networked PCs OK, but those assigned admin access don't have admin admin access. Someone told me they had seen this before but didn't remember if anybody found a fix for it. Any idea how we can gain admin access to these PCs? Tom

Repair Install
by Guest JohnD- 6 replies

I have a Compaq Evo notebook that I "inherited." Couple weeks ago on boot up I got a message that Windows had recovered from a catastrophic failure and did I want to advise Microsoft? So I did and got a Microsoft Online Crash Analysis that advised me to run Windows Memory Diagnostic. So I did that and it ran all night and came up with nothing. The computer boots into XP Pro and runs, but I know it is not healthy because I no longer have the desktop of shortcut icons that I used to have - just a half dozen or so basic ones. Also. I am unable to restore to a date before the crash. In fact I can't even restore to yesterday. So, I'm thinking Repair …
