Blue screen
by Guest Hans Näslund- 8 replies
- 334 views
Recently, I am frequently getting the infamous blue screen for some reason I cannot figure out, so I hope sombody here might be able to help. I have created two virtual disks on a USB memory stick with Cryptainer (http://www.cypherix.com). One of them works OK, but the other frequently crashes the computer with the blue screen if I try to drag and drop a file to or from the disk, or even if I try to close a program with Explorer. CHKDSK does not find any errors on the virtual disk or on the USB memory. Recent error reports to Microsoft generate the following response: "Unfortunately, the error report you submitted is corrupted and cannot be analyzed. …

I have a few 16 bit programs that I run every day: Webster dictionary (Windows - 400 KB .exe), SaveIcons.exe (Windows - 24 KB), RestoreIcons.exe (Windows - 24 KB) and old DOS version of MAME. I was using them *every* day, especially the dictionary. Suddenly, I can't start either of these. I don't get any error messages, the only thing I can notice is an hourglass (for a half of a second) and that's all. The most weird thing is I still can run IconSaver's executables when I log on the another account (both accounts have admin rights). I've tried 'sfc /scannow' - no errors. I've tried config.nt/autoexec.nt/command.com repairing - still the same. …

unreferenced memory errors??
by Guest Mark G.- 1 reply
- 139 views
I multiple applications, I get various "unreferenced memory" issues that cause the programs to shut down. There isn't anything consistent about it either. These programs range from programs such as MS FrontPage 2003 to Photoshop CS3 to Dreamweaver CS2. Other programs as well, but those are the most note worthy. Not all of these programs and there processes are memory hogs either so I am not sure the issue. This can happen whether or not I have multiple programs open and the computer has been running for a while or even if I only have the one program open and the computer just booted up. I am running 1 gig of ram on an AMD 2800+ with a GeForce 5900 video card on XP…

I was troubleshooting & a window popped up that asked if I wanted to delete any programs that use Windows Uninstaller. Thinking that this would help me with a problem I was having with Java, I deleted Java from the list of programs that Uninstaller recognizes. That did not solve my problem with Java & I would like to "undo" the deletion. I have Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks _ Carla

Hi! Could someone please help. I have been able to recover from many incidents but am stuck on this one. The computer will not boot into Windows but will allow me to start in safe mode. I have already restored to a previous date. No luck. Putting in the Windows disc didn't help either. Presumeably my problem is a driver but how do I find out which one. I haven't installed any new programs or hardware for a few weeks. Cheers Deb

Alarm clock for XP
by Guest Curt Christianson- 7 replies

Good evening all, I thought I read a a recommended alarm clock that rests in the "notification area"--but I can no longer find the post. I don't need much, possibly one primary alarm with a secondary alarm that can be set (although this is less important). I *believe* it may have recommended by an MVP. Any takers? Many TIA, -- Curt -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm

Here's the deal - MB died, tech says HD needs repair thru XP. Got no XP disk as it was an OEM install. DO have another machine running XP64, and wanted to know if I can repair the old HD in the XP64 machine (that way I can replace the MB and put the HD back into the old machine). If so, how - if not, suggestions?

by Guest Sal- 3 replies
- 177 views
I have a set of documentation files on my C: drive stored in folder C: \docs. The folder is not shared. In that folder there's an index.html file that contains links to many other files. When I doubleclick index.html, it brings up an IE7 window as expected, but when I click any of the links inside it I get an "Error on page" on the status bar. When I doubleclick the error to get the details they are as follows: Line: 157 (this varies depending on which link I click) Char: 1 (always char 1 no matter which link) Error: Permission denied Code: 0 URL: file:///C:/docs/index.html Can someone please help?
