Networking XP to a 64-bit printer setup
by Guest Otto Moehrbach- 2 replies

I had a simple 2 computer network at home, both with Windows XP, 32-bit. They were networked through the router and the printer was shared. The printer is a Canon MP530 that does not have an Ethernet jack, just a USB hookup. All worked well, with both computers being able to access the one printer. Now I replaced the main computer with a 64-bit Vista machine. I downloaded a 64-bit driver file for the printer and all is working with the printer and the main computer.

Roxio 10 and Audio Capture
by Guest Greg- 1 reply
- 152 views
I have a Dell Vostro 1500 notebook with Vista Home Premium on it. Currenty I am running Roxio Ver.9. The audio capture only detects the on board mic (has a mic/cam combo on the lid). XP is different. I had it loaded on the notebook at one time and it would capture different audio instead of just the mic. Does anyone know if Roxio Ver.10 has fixed this? Or is this unique to Vista? Thanks, Greg

Howdy, I'm running XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D610. If I open the "Help & Support Center" and click "User's Guide" nothing happens. I do have the HTML User's Guide on the system, but obviously, not in the proper location. Where should I put it to allow it to be seen by the "Help & Support Center" link? Many thanks, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."

Hi All Not sure if my first post got through, so I am sending again I have been assisting a friend to sort his laptop out and we have a problem with a Windows update. Every time we try to install the update it fails and comes back in the Windows update icon, ready to install, but also told us we have the wrong version of IE. The Laptop is running Windows XP with SP3 and IE 7 The nuisance update is :- Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP (KB953838) I have had a quick look on the MS website, and find this patch dates back to June 2008. There is a tick box to say ignore this update, but even though I have ticked this, …

My eyes are getting weaker and I'm finding many items especially via IE-7 are difficult to read. The font is small and designers all too often choose settings that make for very low contrast. You'd think BOLD is a disease. Is there anything I can do in Windows? Or even in IE ??? Thanks, Ted

Extra 'My Documents' Folder
by Guest David- 4 replies
- 218 views
Recovering from a complete reinstall, I somehow wound up with a complete second set of "My Documents" The properties of this My Documents" folder say it is a shortcut to the target folder (which is OK) I would like to get rid of this extra My Documents folder. I have tried the register edit from http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_favorites.htm, except it doesn't really tell me what to do after I get to the correct entry. Also, I don't really see where TweakUI addresses this problem either. Would welcome any suggestions. Dave
