Unable to access Help and Support
by Guest John Maguire- 2 replies
- 175 views
When I click on the start menu, and then Help and Support icon nothing happens. Is there any way I can restore this function? System Restore is not an option. Also is there a way that I can inform Windows to shut down automatically? I have to hold in my power button for about 3 seconds now, when informed that it is safe to shut down.

Holes in pst file
by Guest Michel- 5 replies
- 268 views
Hello, I am using Outlook 2003 for a while now, and have a question about it. The pst file is actually a big document, in which the separate mails are stored. If you remove a mail you get a hole in the pst file. And I mean space in the pst-file that has no actual mail in it, but takes space on the harddrive. I was wondering what you need to do to remove these holes from your pst file. Am I correct in assuming the pst file is the archive of Outlook? So archiving is not the way to go? Michel PS. I searched for both Outlook, 2003 and Office as newsgroup. As I could find none, I posted this post in General

Determining how names resolved under Windows XP
by Guest metremeter@yahoo.co.uk- 0 replies
- 129 views
Hi! Given a particular name, is there a simple way of determining by what means Windows XP resolved that name into a network address? That is, if I type in a name and Windows resolves that to an IP address, how do I know if it resolved the name via the DNS cache, a DNS server, WINS cache, WINS server or the hosts file? While I'm asking, is there also a trivial way to find out which interface packets aimed at a given IP address will be sent to (without having to figure it out oneself, obviously)? Cheers, mm

by Guest Zipadeedoodaa- 4 replies
- 217 views
Apologies for cross posting I do hope I'm in the right group. On start up I get a dialogue box headed Windows No Disk and in the body of the box it states : Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c This happens at about the same time as AVG 7.5 free edition launches to do an automatic update on start up. Could I ask if anyone has any idea as to what this problem is, and hopefully ,how I can correct it. Many thanks indeed. Neville
