MS Outlook 2002 SP3 not shutting down
by Guest Tony De Shiro- 3 replies
- 179 views
I close the application after reading emails. When I attempt to shut the computer down I get the "End Program" box which identifies "Outlook.EXE" as not shutting down. I have to hit the "End Task" button to close Outlook, then the computer will shut down. There have been occasions when the "End Task" button hasn't worked and I have to manually shut the computer down by pressing and holding the power button. I'm running XP Home Edition SP2. Suggestions? Thanks/Tony

Problem With System Restore on My Cloned Drives
by Guest RRTRACKS via WindowsKB.com- 5 replies

Recently I replaced the drives on my PC by cloning.The new drives boot the OS system without errors. All the partitions and associated files appeared to be fine, and I have not had any problems running any of the programs moved to the new drives. One thing that really surprised me is Windows did not require to be activated on the new drives. WOW! As I am having a problem I will make that a wow! For some reason the cookies associated with IE did not transfer to the new drives. This is not important to me but may give a clue as to the problem of concern. Upon trying to run System Restore from Help, shortly after this transfer the following error message was di…

OEM XP Reinstall
by Guest Tom Crooze- 20 replies

Comments appreciated I was given a 1.8ghz P4 by a friend who upgraded. It runs OK , but it's FAT 32 and looks like it's been upgraded from 98 ? It has an OEM sticker on the case , but no disks. I found a Windows XP folder on the HD. I slipstreamed SP 2 onto it and made it bootable , but when I ran it , it rejected the serial number. I confirmed what was on the case , and I also ran Belarc Advisor which got the install key from the registry. It looks like my only choice might be to reinstall to the same partition ? Is that a limit of the particular version of XP ? Thanks Tom

two OS options during startup
by Guest Matty- 5 replies

I upgraded from WinXP Home SP2 to WinXP Pro SP2. Now, when I turn on my compu, I get a black screen first asking me: Please select the OS to start: MS windows XP Pro MS windows XP Home Is that normal when you upgrade from Home to Pro? I thought that when I upgraded, that everything would be almost seamless - i.e., that my compu will know that I have Pro, and not Home and so should not be asking me which OS to start with. The MS Win XP Home option is useless anyway since the boot.ini has a "noexecute" entry for it. I thought I actually got two OS after upgrading to Pro (because of the startup message) but even when XP Home is selected, XP Pro gets l…

I only use my laptop for web surfing. I also keep F Secure anti virus software on it. The trouble is that F Secure has bloated to need 256k memory. Every time I use the machine, after a while, I will get a report that Windoze is using virtual memory. I can live with this, I would just like the daily warning to go away. Can this warning be disabled? Thanks for your time.

I am using a Promise Ultra 100TX2 PCI card. I have two W.D. 250gb hard drives (Master & Slave) on the Ultra's IDE 0 port running XP Pro SP2. For the past two weeks I am having trouble booting my computer. When I boot the master drive I get an error (cannot read boot disk). This also happens when I hibernate and then later start the computer. I get the same error and it asks me to delete Restoration Data & restart. The only way I can start the computer at this point is to use a boot disk and boot an operating system on the slave drive. After I start the slave drive, I can then restart the computer and it will read the boot options on the computer’s…

While trying to fix a problem that I’ve been having with my PC (since resolved), I noticed that Device Manager shows that two drivers on my PC have been flagged with a yellow exclamation mark (!) These two drivers -- "Intelide” and “PartMgr” -- are listed under the category of “Non-Plug and Play Drivers”, with the following attributes: Device type: Non-Plug and Play Drivers Manufacturer: Unknown Location: Unknown Device Status: This device is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed (Code 24) How do I correct this problem?
