XP Pro continuous reboot
by Guest Homer Jay- 4 replies
- 213 views
I am trying to load XP Pro, the installation completes fine, and the PC reboots (as expected) but before Windows comes up it reboots. I try getting in using safe mode and get a blue screen, I can't remember the exact error, but its pretty vague (no mention of a driver etc) and only mentions trying to run a chkdsk/r on the hard drive. I have tried with 2 different HDD's and get the same problem, so have ruled out the hard drive. I removed and reseated the RAM, disconnected all hardware that I could, but still the same problem. The only thing I have not tried is removing the graphics card as there is no on board graphics, and I do not have a spare card I can…

by Guest JD- 4 replies
- 248 views
I am currently working on test for the upcoming school year and can't find how to get the numbers to align properly before the questions when number 10. or 100. are needed. The alignment I get is 1. 10. 100. The alignment I want is: 1. 10. 100. so the questions will begin at the same point on each line. I am doing original entry and scanning some pages from other documents that are aligned properly but do not align after scanning. Thanks to anyone who can help. -- JD

Changing an icon on the desktop
by Guest Trish- 5 replies
- 282 views
Hi, I often put shortcuts on my deskop and like to easily identify them by using different icons. I used to simply right-mouse-click on the existing icon, go to properties, change icon and select from a range. Often the range of icons doesn't show, but a series of (meaningless) folders instead. In any event, there was not that much to choose from. What is the best way to change an icon, and when I browse for an icon, where should I go to get a good selection? Many thanks.

If it ain't broke... 1 2
by Guest SAMF2000- 25 replies

With all the Hype about Vista, not many people actually want it. MS is doing everything for you to buy it. Even making games like Halo 2 exclusive for Vista. What MS does not realize is that they had a great, stable OS Which was just lacking perfect security, but for the average person XP Is great for gaming, photos movies and works with all current drivers. When people start complaining about VISTA I actually laugh because all the problems they are having are because companies like Lexmark, Canon and Nvidia all want you to buy new hardware and are not that quick to make drivers for OLD Hardware.

Windows XP SP2 and Word crash
by Guest diane- 6 replies

Recently, we started allowing updates on Windows XP with Office 2007. Outlook crashed, and eventually Internet Explorer crashed. I reinstalled XP, but nothing changed. So I reformatted the hard drive, reinstalled XP, reinstalled Office, installed the updates, and ta-da, everything worked. Then I used Word one time. The next time I tried using Word, *it immediately crashed and then asked if I wanted to restart in safe mode. I said yes, and it crashed and asked if I wanted to restart in safe mode. I said yes. Repeat constantly from the * unless I opt to not restart. My husband tried installing a music program with the same result. The error…

taskbar won't hide itself
by Guest Richard H Paul- 1 reply
- 203 views
My taskbar is stuck in the up position and I like to have it hide itself when not in use. For some reason this has stopped working. I have chosen the "autohide taskbar" option under "Properties" on the right-clicked taskbar menu. The taskbar hid itself once then stuck back up again and won't go down into hidden position. Why might this happen and how to fix it?
