Print Spooler won't start; dependent on lexbces.exe but that won't start either; So why? Windows XP Home SP2 I have two Lexmark printers installed (or at least I used to). Actually, I have the Lexmark folders in Program Files, but the printers don't seem to be installed anymore. The printers are Lexmark 640 series Lexmark 2400 series They pretty much worked until just now. In the Printer and Faxes folder I only see the Add Printer and nothing else.

(It's stopped and) It won't start because …

Was having some "freezing" problems on computer. Took back parts provder to have it tested. Thru everything but the kitchen sink at it and could not replicate the errors. Said "all is good, take it home". Now my itunes and quicktime will not work. Keep getting an error message and a request to send to MS. When we check the error message it say's it's trying to run on Windows NT! Keep removing, deleting, rebooting, re-downloading to no avail. Used to work, now it doesn't! Anyone else having any great ideas on how I can get itunes to function. BTW, I have the disk for an earlier version that came with my ipod. Can't get that to work either now…

Hello Everyone! I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 with Windows XP, and since last week I am having problem with playing music files or DVD either on WMP and even iTunes. I reinstalled the sound card (SoundMax), installed DirectX, troubleshoot...it still doesn't play sounds, not even the system sounds. However, the I can hear the *.mid files play. I really don't know what to do next. Someone suggested that I downloaded K-lite codecs, which I did but it was not of much help.

My windowsXP's search => weird results! (only text search seems to work, not filename)
by Guest ship- 2 replies

My windowsXP's search => weird results! (only text search seems to work, not filename) My WindowXP almost completely has given up the ability to search. Help! It seems to ignore whatever I put into "All or part of the file name:". (e.g. "*.*" or "html" or "doc" ...} all yeild no results. Strangely however if I enter something into the "A word or phrase in the file:" (e.g. "the", then I get lots of results, AND they are filtered by whatever I have put into the "All or part of the file name:" field Any suggestions?

changing contextual menu
by Guest Wally Wombat- 5 replies

Hi When I connect my digital camera to my computer I get a pop up menu with a selection of options in it. Although I have not loaded any software that accompanied the camera, it recognises it as a Canon Powershot and list all kinds of options save "open in a folder". As this is the very one I am looking for it is a bit frustrating, is there any way of getting this option into this pop up menu? Let me add, if I slide in a flash drive it does give me this option. Waiting in anticipation... Wombat -- Eats, roots and leaves.

Recently I had evaluate chinese-made terminal access device (microstation), as the original application was in Chinese language, and I asked for an English version. To my horrors, after installing this english language version of the 3rd party terminal services, most of my dialog box had been transformed to Chinese language. Even after uninstalling the whole package, it remains in Chinese language (just the dialog box). I had changed all the settings in Regional Settings ("simplified chinese is checked and grey-out"), and its seems the only possible way is to re-install my OS to get the dialog box back to English. Anyone know where are the language settin…
