Number of files on Flash Media
by Guest kanlatss81- 2 replies
- 173 views
I just bought a digital picture frame and have a 2GB SD card to put pictures on. The frame will not recognize folders so I just dumped the pictures on the card. It would not allow more than 500 files. Is 500 the limit of files allowed? Also, is there a way around that maximum file number. I have also bought an 8GB Compact flash I was hoping to dump huge quantities of photo files on. Please advise. Thanks! SJS

I have a small workgroup network at home (MyLAN) and I was able to browse all of the computers on it until sometime this week when I somehow lost the ability. Computer A - Windows XP Pro (all patches installed) Computer B - Windows XP Home (all patches installed) Computer C - Windows XP Home (all patches installed) D-Link DIR-655 Router Each computer has their hard drive(s) shared Last week, A could browse B and C B could browse A and C C could browse A and B Now, A cannot browse B or C B can still browse A and C C can still browse A and B So it looks like something changed on Computer A. When I open "My Network Places / Entire Network / Mic…

Application errors when printing
by Guest Jim in Cleveland- 1 reply
- 155 views
I have a number of computers that have recently started getting application errors when trying to print. The computers are running Windows XP, SP2. When trying to print, they are getting either "Microsoft Application Error" or spoolsv.exe Application errors. At first I thought it had something to do with the print server but some people are getting these errors when printing to local printers. I cannot try the problem to a particular print queue on the print server as it is also happening to multiple print queues. In some instances, the print spooler will stop on the local computer and has to be restarted. Most errors are generating a 7031 or 7034 ev…

Windows Explorer Navigation Pane shows Desktop, Desktop, Desktop,
by Guest Mike M 91107- 1 reply
- 169 views
When using Windows Explorer and navigating from folder to folder, I regularly have the navigation pane change the name of the first level of folders to "Desktop". I then have between 5 and 20 folders named "Desktop" however when you select the one with the computer icon you get "My Computer", recycle bin shows up as "Desktop", My network places shows up as "Desktop", etc. The only way to get it to show the correct folder names is to close the Explorer window and open a new one. Until it gets screwed up. I have seen this since the original Windows XP Pro came out and it is still here in Windows XP Pro SP3. Any ideas?

XP Upgrade from Win 98
by Guest farjmd- 7 replies
- 260 views
I recently had my Desk Top PC's Mother Bd. Burn up. I'm looking at a whole new system but I do not want to purchase a new operating system. The suppliers are telling me I'll have to purchase the full version of XP or Vista (yuck) because the new interfaces within the PC for the periphiles are not supported by Win 98. I have the Upgrade version of XP and had no problem converting my old PC from Win 98 to XP but how would I do this with a New PC that does not use the old ribbon cables to the Hard drive and CD reader?? I have to first load Win 98 the upgrade to XP?

I have a piece of software that is locked to one computer by a serial number, an activation code and what the software company calls a system ID number The format of this ID number is as follows: 09369D 30A3E8 ( my current SID according to the company) or 402919 226F85 (The SID the company says the software is locked to) What is this ID number? 1. HDD volume number? 2. HDD serial number(Factory number)? 3. Or what else could it be? Is it possible to change the newest ID number back to the old one? The only thing that has happened is that I had to re-format my hard drive and re-install the OS. (Media Center XP 2005) and XP SP3 I really quick solution…

Urgent: Need to rename Robert account to Administrator
by Guest Ronaldo- 4 replies
- 194 views
You can't use the same name on two accounts... the built-in default-Administrator account is created when you install the system. If you want to use it, just log off or restart and at the logon screen, hit ctrl+alt+delete simultaneously two or three times to bring up the logon box, then type in Administrator and since you don't remember the Administrator account, it probably doesn't have a password, so just Accept or hit Enter afer typing Administrator. ----------------------------------------- "Cirene" <cirene@nowhere.com> escribió en el mensaje news:%23LbysXIFJHA.1272@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I just reinstalled XP.

Problem of Jumping Letters !
by Guest Hari Hari Mau- 9 replies
- 295 views
Hi all ! The other day I was using my friend's notebook to type a letter, and I found something really weird. I am sharing it here with all in the hope that someone may have seen this problem before and perhaps can help diagnose what's wrong. The laptop was a Dell, quite new too, with duo core or something. I opened up the Microsoft Word and start typing. It went okay for 5 minutes or so and then the letters started jumping ! I mean, the words like scrolled up, and then down, and then sideways or whatever. I thought something was wrong with the Microsoft Word on his machine, so I quickly saved whatever I've typed, closed down Microsoft Word, and power u…

Reducing Priority of Scheduled Tasks via Start?
by Guest metremeter@yahoo.co.uk- 2 replies
- 162 views
Hi, I have certain scheduled tasks running on my work machine. They often hog the processor causing my machine to become unresponsive to the point of almost locking up. I'd like to run them at lower priority using the start command (either "start /belownormal" or "start /low"), but this doesn't seem to work. Typing this at the command line:- start /belownormal Y:\Vim\vim62\gvim.exe seems to run it fine, but if I put the same thing in the "run" line of a scheduled task's properties window, it says "could not start" in Scheduled Tasks' status column. Any thoughts? Thanks, - MM
