XP shuts down -blue screen - errors
by Guest Grace- 1 reply
- 160 views
-Does anyone know how to remedy this? My laptop frequently gets the blue screen saying "Windows has been shut down... Kernal-stackInpage error. Stop 0(XC0000185, 0XC0000185, Ox0000000, 0x00981000) Beginning dump of physical memory" I just got a new hard drive because of this, but it keeps happening. I had just started Spysweeper but paused it and was doing a disk clean-up and then the blue screen came up and I had to shut down. I would really appreciate it if any of you could help. Best Buy Geek Squad says it's a Windows problem. Thanks. -- Grace

Personal settings/My Documents/All defaults
by Guest Kim G- 3 replies
- 203 views
Everytime I restart my computer all my personal settings are lost and all new documents and or desktop items are gone. I search for them by name under the C drive and they are somehow moved into my documents and settings/temp file under a new folder created (that I didn't create) named "Owner Documents". If I save a new document in "My documents" it is also moved out of there and into this file. What is going on? This happened out of no where???? I work from home and this is awful!

RE: XP volume icon trouble
by Guest A. N. Brickey- 0 replies

RE: XP volume icon trouble I tried that several times. I think the key thing to do is after you tell the computer to always show the volume control icon, hit apply then ok. After that is completed, restart your computer. If the problem isn't fixed, go into your control panel and sounds and see if you can find a place where it asks if you want the icon on the taskbar. Worked for me. Before I had done the properties thing, I had tried the sounds thing. I had no options. So, I'm really thinking that the taskbar properties is the first place you should turn to.

Going to this page - click on the blue icon - obviously the files are being stored somewhere on my system, since they play back immediately whenever I go back to the site - I'm on 56k dialup. However, I look for *.mp3 and come up with nothing, nor do I find them searching by size and date. As good as they sound, they must be large. http://jordynshellhart.com/music.htm Thanks

- 189 views
Just recently I've noticed that when I open the task manager by pressing ctrl,alt,del - the window opens but part of the window, the upper part that normally contains the various tabs and the title bar, is missing. This is bizarre and cannot attribute this sudden change/error to anything specific. Any one out there have any ideas as to how, if at all possible, to fix this problem? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark

by Guest Niteowl- 3 replies

Hi all, I have a Belkin ergo keyboard, Model #F8E208 and would like to disable 3 keys it has in the upper right hand corner.. from left to right just over the keypad, they are "Sleep", "Wake-up /www", and "Power" well I keep hitting the power button by mistake and it shuts down the computer.. so I would like to just simply disable it. I did not install any special software for this keyboard, so assume something in XP will let me accomplish this. ?? btw, I am running XP Pro, SP2 Keyboard is set as "Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard" in all the four machines this keyboard controls through a KVM switch. I assume I'll need to d…

Making an Image for Manufacturer
by Guest James0- 2 replies
- 160 views
Good day everyone Here's what I need to do. We are purchasing 150 desktops from Lenovo. I need to prepare an image using our volume license of Xp with all our programs installed. These computers will also be joining our domain. I am told I can send the image to Lenovo and they will install it on the computers before they are delivered to us. I would like to hear from anyone who has done such as this before and your opinion on the best way to do this. I should be getting one of the machines to set up the way we want it, and I was just wondering about the best way to handle it after that. Thanks and have a good day!
