recovery partition

Hello, Last year, I managed to install Norton GoBack. I was impressed by the performance. I encountered one problem and had to uninstall the GoBack. When I tried to reinstall, I got error messages. Recently I upgraded my Norton Internet Security and GoBack was bundled with it. Everything else installed with no problem but I got the error message when I tried to install GoBack. I emailed Norton and was told that a recovery partition or multi-boot system will no allow GoBack to be installed. My question therefore is, is this recovery partition necessary and if not, can it be deleted? What do I gotta do to get GoBack back? I have Windows XP Pro sp2. Th…

run time error 5 - invalid procedure call or argument
by Guest ryguy1101- 2 replies
- 199 views
Browsed thru the forum threads and didn't see any previous discussions about this extremely annoying error message. Happens pretty much every time my computer tries to open a new dialog box (i.e. opening recycle bin or my computer, launching MS internet explorer, etc.). I've upgraded from IE6 to 7, updated all anti-virus programs, and run an error-clean program to clean up bad links, shortcuts, dead files, etc. Nothing seems to work. Any novel suggestions would be helpful.

I have a XP PRO wired to a Belkin Router. I have a HP OfficeJet V40 connected via USB to the XP machine. They print fine. I even have another XP wired to the router and via the network it prints fine. The trouble is when I connect my laptop to the network. I can share files great. I can even see the printer on the network. I add it to the laptop (vista, and have tried Mac OSX) which is connected via the WIRELESS on the router. It wont print! It HAS worked before in this setup. I restored the router to default settings. No change. any ideas would help THANKS!

by Guest PSRumbagh- 4 replies
- 232 views
I have a Quatech SPP-100 PCMCIA to parallel port (IEEE-1284) card that I am trying to access with Quick Basic V4.5 running in the DOS Emulation window (DOS Prompt) of Windows XP. The I/O range of the PCMCIA - parallel card is @H0400 - @H0407 and there is no IRQ assigned. None of the cards data output lines (D7 - D0) change state when I run my Quick Basic port exercising program. The card is functional as I can print from MSWord to my HP-932C DeskJet printer through it's parallel (IEEE-1284) port. The manufacturer, Quatech, says that I should NOT have to install the DOS drivers for the SPP-100 if I am running in the DOS window of Windows XP. Note, the …

Running with dual drives
by Guest Bryan- 1 reply
- 150 views
Hi, I would like to set my PC up so that I could run my OS and programs from one HD and have all of my data on another. This would allow imaging and restoration of the OS, programs and settings without having to restore the data which resides on a separate drive. Is there a global setting which would tell all of my software to save its data files to a directory on a separate HD or do I need to find and change the settings for each program? Thanks for your help, Bryan

There is lots of information on how to hide a drive partition letter and make it a hidden drive. But once you do that there seems to be no way to restore (or assign) a drive letter back to that partition to make it visible. Any ideas, suggestions or comments?

Hello again, I can`t get into safe mode via F8 on bootup,I`ve lost count of the amount of times i`ve tried.I hold down F8 or constantly tap F8 the moment I power up the computer which takes me to "please select boot device" screen with the options of dvd-rom, dvd-rw and hdd. The it says "press Enter to select boot device or Esc to boot defaults" all of which boot into windows and not into safe mode. What do I do in the future if for some reason it wont boot normally and I need to boot into safe mode. (I can get into safe mode via msconfig but that no good if the computer wont boot into windows) Any Ideas? Regards Kim
