Can't Load Access and Virtual Earth
by Guest Loris- 0 replies
- 155 views
I recently tried loading the 3d feature of maps.live.com called Virtual Earth 3d and couldn't do it. I get an error telling me to install MS .NET Framework 2.0 and try again. I tried to install Framework but couldn't do that either, getting a "Error 25007. Error occurred while initializing fusion. Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim( ). error: 0X80131700." I can also load all Office 2003 programs except Access. Could these problems be related and if so, where do I turn next?

I have one HD and a CD/DVD reader. I also have a CD-RW and a DVD-RW. I am not sure which is set to Master and which is set to Slave or Cable Select. If someone would be kind enough to tell me the proper way of configuring my installed hardware, I will dismantel and re-assemble my computer again. It is not a store bought computer but one that I have assembled. thank you for the knowledge.

Hi all, I hope this question finds all doing fairly well. I had terrible time try to install clean copy of Vista Business. I finally wiped my hard drive clean again and reinstalled Window XP Home edition, which has a weak crummy fax program. One can only send a cover sheet with no following pages. I would like to upgrade to XP Professional if it had full true fax program. Does anyone know if it does? Thanks in advance. -- RICHARD

RE: Assumptions regarding a new post!

RE: Assumptions regarding a new post! Brand new to this community and ap. First, I cannot seem to make a new post, only replies. Is there a waiting period? Second, I keep all my data files on a separate drive (F:). I use a mouthstick to type and would love to change the default location where Windows and and other aps look. For instance, when I go to attach a file to and e-mail I'm drafting in Outlook Express, it looks to My Documents. Same when I start Adobe Acrobat. How can I change the defaults to the root of my "data drive" (F:\)? Thank you. -- Comfortable In My Skin "Richard Urban" wrote: > ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING YOUR POST > > …

MS Works Calendar error message and shuts down
by Guest Noble- 13 replies
- 392 views
When the reminder box comes up, I try to open and change the reminder (from 2 weeks to 1 week, etc.). As soon as I click on either "this occrence" or "open the series", I get "Microsoft® Works Calendar has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." At that point it shuts down. It has happened multiple times, (every time) no matter which appointment I am being reminded of. It also happens if I try to update/change it using the menu and not the pop up reminder window. Any ideas?

Since re-installing XP Pro fax adderss book is gone
by Guest Laughingstar~*- 1 reply

Is there any way to find my fax address book? The MS Level I tech told me to back-up only Appl Data, Desktop, Documents and Settings, Favorites, and Local Settings. I questioned this four times, and then did what he said... All of my OE was missing, and my fax address book has gone zippo, too. Any place it could be on this install, in any of those folders? I could kick someone for this--and not myself. thank you, very much. -- ct~·´¯`·.¸. , . ..·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>

Windows Key + E Fails to bring up explorer.
by Guest Peter Nimmo- 1 reply
- 140 views
In the last couple of weeks pressing the Windows Key + E, no longer brings up Explorer. I have looked at some of the registry hacks that are used to disable and then enable this key, but my registry does not seem to have had that change made. The following registry entry that I found online does not exist in my registry - there is no Scancode Map key. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Scancode Map"=hex: The Windows key does work as it will bring up the Start Menu and respond to the other standard key combinations, its just that Windows + E does not work. I don't know if …

From a usability standpoint a warning like DO YOU REALLY WANT TO REMOVE ....? when the checkmark is cleared in the Add/Remove Windows Components action. It is easy when adding a component to think a checked component need not be added, so the checkmark can be cleared.

Is MS ever going to make a rollup package to bring our systems up to date with all patches, fixes etc? I don't care for the web update business and really prefer a rollup.
