MFC SP4 Dlls
by Guest JW- 1 reply
- 204 views
Anyone know how to correct this error message: "Incorrect MFC Dll versions installed on the system, minimum requirement is MFC SP4 Dlls." Message comes up shortly after boot up of Windows XP when Broadcom wireless network adapter is trying to make a connection to the nearest WAP. The result: NO WIRELESS CONNECTION MADE. Clicking on "OK" simply causes the message to disappear briefly and then reappear. The only recent changes to my system were automatic security patch updates of Windows XP ... KB936021, KB938828, KB921503, KB938829, KB938127, KB937143. One of these updates appears to prohibit Broadcom Wireless adapters from working properly. The …

Hello, Today I got an flash-based MP3 player. I plugged it into the PC's USB port. With Widows Explorer, I see the player as a drive, yet I do not see a drive letter. Can you tell me why there is no drive letter? I need the drive letter because I want to use the console to write to the player. Thanks. T.I.

Disk space Low
by Guest Lance- 9 replies
- 442 views
I keep getting this low disk space message. The C: drive is 34.Gig and is almost full. So I installed another hard drive F: which is 298Gig. I transfered over a number of data files, Pictures, documents videos ect and solved the problem temporarily. All my program files are still on C:/ . I run disk clean up when I get the low disk space message which solves it, but the problem keeps coming back. There's 285gig available on F:/, There's probably a simple answer... right?

Lectori Salutem, Let me explain about the troubles I have with my laptop (asus, dual boot in win XP sp 2 and kubuntu) and all the mess that goes with it. 1. The windows bluetooth software expired a few months ago. I never paid much attention to this, since I wasn't in the ability to use my bluetooth connection anyway. 2. two days ago, my father bought a bluetooth equipped telephone, in order to try to connect to his telephone using bluetooth, I found that I didn't have any windows xp software on my laptop to use with it, and I had trouble finding the standard software from windows update (see later on). In order to find out if my bluetooth connection exsis…

Lost Useful Program

My grandson recently had to format and restore his Windows XP Home Edition. (The pc was caught up in a startup loop) He had a program that was very useful to check on the pc's systems (motherboard, drives, etc.) I have seen this program, and it did look to be a very sophistacated and useful check program. He didn't backup any info before he formated. He wasn't sure if the program was a freeware, shareware, or possibly one he had purchased online. He seems sure it was a program he had downloaded from the internet. The program was " PC Doctor for Windows ". I have searched everywhere trying to locate any such program on the internet. Have any of you heard of…

Some icons gone
by Guest KevinR- 6 replies
- 247 views
I run WinXP Home and upgraded from FAT32 to NTFS a couple of months ago. After that, every few days some of my icons changed to the blank box icon. Not all icons were affected. My Documents, My Computer, Recycle bin were not affected. But many of my program icons were: most of Microsoft Office including the .doc and .xls files, but other programs (eg ZoneAlarm) were not. I have tried to do a system restore, but system restore isn't working (it is reporting an error and I think a previous restore point has become corrupt and I now have to remove all restore points). I appears that for those applications affected, all icons have become the blank boxes: that …
