"Lost" profile???
by Guest Mikey- 3 replies
- 192 views
Once in a blue moon, I'll get a panicked call from a user, "All my stuff is gone!" or something along those lines. Upon further inspection, it appears that a new profile has been created, that is in a folder called <username.domainname>. All their "lost" stuff can be found in a folder just called <username>. Copying contents from <username> to <username.domainname> usually fixes it but this time as an extra added bonus, it seems that every thing you do brings up an Office window, acting like it wants to re- install Office! Clicking cancel about 3 or 4 times usually gets around it, until the user tries opening that same file again! What c…

Double clicking icon doesn't work
by Guest Bobby- 2 replies

Hi, I have an icon on my desktop which is a shortcut to an application. This application is one that you probably haven't heard of, called Magicut. It has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly over the past week it has stopped working. When I double click on the icon, the hour glass appears for a few seconds, but then disappears and the application does not open. I appreciate that you probably don't know this application, but as a general rule, is there anything I should try when an this happens? It has happened occasionally in the past with other applications. I don't think that this is a problem with the application itself, but I can't be sure.…

I have downlaoded photos from my Samsung camera, rotated them and then renamed them in my camera software Digimax Viwer 2.1. After a few days some of the photos - and in some cases all the photos - cannot be viewed and come up with the message "preview not available". It is intermittent and does not happen to all photos. This problem seems to only have been occuring since using XP. All my other photos saved to disc when I was using Windows 2000 are fine. Please advise. -- regards David H

STARTUP ICONS NEAR THE CLOCK QUESTION!
by Guest Kenny Lee- 1 reply
- 151 views
-- I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something. I was curious as to why icons near the clock (the start up items) are never in the same place when you either turn off your computer or laptop and turn it on again or you do a re-start. Can you please tell me that and what causes this as well. Thank you and have a great day!!! Kenny Lee

Ethernet Controller Installation
by Guest Shahzad Ahmed- 4 replies
- 201 views
Hi, I have Realtek 8139 PCI Family PCMICA Card which is PnP in Windows XP. When I plug it into Laptop A and B, Windows XP automatically detects it and installs it but when I plug it into Machine C with Windows XP, it detects it as Ethernet Controller and also refuses to accept any drivers when manually provided. In short it is not installing not by itself nor when its drivers are provided. Rest of the devices like builtin NIC and Modem are working perfectly. Any Suggestion. Regards Shahzad Ahmed
