BOSD

Several times a day I get a BOSD with the error message 0X000000F4. Google has not produced an usable solution. There is no new HW or SW installed, the event viewer is clean. There is no virus or spyware, in fact no change has been made for several months. Any help would be much appreciated Harry

Hello, I have legacy system written in Clipper 5.2e/Blinker 7.0. I need to do a bunch of SET' when I open up the command shell. To do that I run a batch file once command.com is triggered, but variables are not been set as they supposed to. I can set these variables one-by-one and it works fine, but cannot run batchfile. Any ideas? is it possible to set variables using a SCRIPT? Gus sdl-gus@rogers.com

How can I change boot drive to C?
by Guest M.L.- 20 replies

Hi. While trying to assist my niece to install WinXP over the phone a few weeks ago, something got crossed or misinterpreted and I found out recently that she installed XP to her H drive instead of her C drive. Her H drive is now nearly full and the much larger C drive is almost empty. Short of reinstalling her system more carefully, is there a way to easily change her system drive to C, along with her profiles, etc? Thanks in advance.

recovering lost partitions...
by Guest GO- 3 replies

Hello, XP crashed on me yesterday and upon rebooting the system I found that my second hard drive was "missing". Probably not really relevant but at the time of the crash I was copying a disc and "burning" the image to said hard drive. Under XP's Disk Management I discovered that it's now marked as unitialized, and have lost the 3 partitions I had on it. I haven't lost anything crucial but I would still like to recover the partitions if possible. I've run some basic diagnostics and nothing unusual has shown up in the Event Logs so I'm assuming the drive is still ok. I've run Acronis' Disk Director partition recovery tool (the quick method) and it was unabl…

Hi all, Migrating from 2000 to XP (finally) Does anyone know of a nice little script/utility that can take a snapshot of things like printer connections, default signature location (maybe even copy it to a pre-specified network folder with username or pc name variable to create the folder or file), pst files (copy too) and other useful stuff? Many thanks! Andy

Need F6 driver for Intel 945 chipset
by Guest Barry Watzman- 9 replies
- 403 views
I'm trying to install Windows XP on a Gateway MT6711 notebook, which comes with Windows Vista. The first problem is that XP's distribution media doesn't even recognize the SATA hard drive. I need an "F6 driver" for an Intel 945 series chipset (actually 943, but I don't think it matters). I'm using a USB floppy drive (from which the Gateway will even boot), so a floppy version is what I'm looking for. Anyone have it or have a link to it?

Baffling Problem MCE2005 Problem
by Guest ColTom2- 4 replies

Hi: I purchased a Sony VGC-716G desktop factory refurbished computer in June 05 with Windows Media Center 2004. Shortly thereafter I purchased from Sony the Media Center 2005 upgrade and installed it with no problems. I created Sony Recovery System and Application discs and also purchased from Sony their System Recovery VGC-RA710 Series discs just to be sure that I never had any recovery problems that I could not resolve. I did do one reformat after purchase of the computer and prior to installing the Media Center 2005 upgrade with no problems. Later I installed the Media Center 2005 upgrade, as indicated with no problems. This week I had …

Force open new browser window
by Guest Graham- 6 replies

Hi, How do I get additional 'Favourites' to open in a new window, rather than opening over an existing one, that I may view both at the same time. I've unchecked 'Reuse Window' under Advanced/IO, and I've set Folder options to open in new window. Holding down 'Shift' doesn't work either ? Any advice much appreciated.
