Computer reboots spontaneously
by Guest Walter R.- 11 replies
- 402 views
I am running win xp sp2. Computer is about 5 years old. 40 GB WD and 512 MB RAM. Everything was working fine. Starting this morning, and at intervals of about one hour, my computer makes a short buzzing sound, the screen goes dead, and the computer then reboots. When it reboots, it does not show the blue screen, asking for a disk check. Normally it asks for a disk check when the power is interrupted like this. The status report on the hard drives shows OK when the computer boots. I checked the temperature in the BIOS and it looks OK: CPU 40C/104F, System 34/93, fan speed holding steady with slight speed variations. What diagnostics can I run? What c…

microsoft word opens up painfully slow why?
by Guest Admiral Jack- 6 replies
- 304 views
A few days ago I had some problems with a Roxio product. The tech took me through slew of trouble shooting hoops. One of which screwed up my Internet explorer. I have since downloaded a fix and I am operating fine except for a bizarre new thing of Microsoft Word taking over 10 minutes to open up. This NEVER happened before. Once it opens I go to select a file I recently used and it too takes an excruciating amount of time to open. Some files don't even open. Background of what I have: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7 under the add and remove programs . . . WORD 2000 Microsoft Office 2000 premium Microsoft compression client pack 1.0 for windows X…

Windows Update: endless deadly loop error
by Guest Cyberpro60- 2 replies

My windows XP system notified me that it had an update to install - which I accepted as suggested. Upon completion I got a message saying: "This setup will only upgrade over an existing version of Microsoft VM". I assume that "VM" stands for Microsoft Virual Machine - Microsoft's now defunct implementation of Java however as this software is not installed on my machine I am wondering why windows update is trying to update it? Worse still, this update also forces me to reboot my system at which time I am again prompted to install the same failed bit of software. GRRR! I have trawled around the net looking for a solution without success although this …

XP Keyboard Shortcuts Taskbar Address Bar
by Guest Shane- 2 replies
- 219 views
Greetings, I'm using Windows XP and have enabled the Address Bar in my task bar. As an avid keyboarder, I tend to use Alt+Tab to cycle between programs and Ctrl+Tab to cycle around my desktop and the like. The one thing I want to do and haven't figured out how is to use the keyboard to access the Address Bar on my taskbar. If I'm in Explorer or IE, I just use Alt+D. Is there a way to keyboard-shortcut to go to different toolbars on the taskbar? Thanks, Shane
