Screen graphics appear large
by Guest Rosemary Francis- 2 replies

Hi, I'm trying to fix my sisters PC. When she starts the PC the text on the boot up screen is really large. It seems to right itself in XP but then becomes really huge again when her son tries to play some games. I have reinstalled the video driver and checked the display settings. Any other suggestions apart from trying another video card? (I live 1 hour away from her and will try this when I next see her). Thanks for your help.

Hi all. When I hover over an image in a folder, Windows XP no longer shows the image size. It used to, but after downloading seveal updates on the weekend, Windows no longer does so. For example, hovering over image1.bmp (or jpg) Windows would display 640x480 (or whatever) etc. Hmmm???

Screen corruption in Add or Remove Programs aplet
by Guest MarcoC- 1 reply

I recently had some problems with a software application affecting my CD drivers. In the end, I returned to a previous Windows restore point which was created just before I installed some software, and the CD drivers are fine. But now, every time I go to the add or remove programs dialog and scroll down the list, there is a point where all I get is black vertical lines instead of listings of software. It appears that all of the correct entries are there, but the list is split in 2 - some programs are listed, then there are these black lines of corruption for a while, and then the list continues. Any ideas on what has happened here?

Troubleshooting RunOnce - how to determine why some (not all) entries FAILED to fire?

Hi folks, I've been investigating the root cause for a critical issue affecting my CacheMyWork app (http://www.codeplex.com/CacheMyWork/ WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2401). Ever since I received my (heavily-managed) corporate laptop at work, I've been unable to get Windows XP to launch all the entries in RunOnce that CacheMyWork adds. In fact, it's consistently been unable to launch more than 1-3 of the 5-10 entries that I'll typically populate with the tool. Here's what I know so far: - On other Windows XP and Windows Vista systems, the same version of CacheMyWork will result in RunOnce entries that all launch at next logon - on the failing system, the …

Corrupt user profile???
by Guest Penny- 2 replies
- 225 views
I have posted this in the help and support forum and unfortunately I'm not getting any useful input so I apologize for the double post, I just need to try to get some answers. One of my users suddenly is unable to digitally sign acrobat documents. I checked on their user forums and they told me to delete the XP profile. I'm finding that to be a typical answer from a non-microsoft software vendor and thought I would see if anyone might know something more about this. I find acrobat's knowledgebase isn't very good and always seem to get the good sources of information here. I remember having to rename the users profile and create a new one before and …

We are running Vmware Workstation 6.x.. I've installed an MSDN copy of XP on a virtual machine instance on our LAN. On my own machine, the same machine used for the creation of the VPC, i can create a linked clone of that original XP image from the lan without problem. No re-activation is needed etc. But, if i have someone else try to do a linked clone of the XP image from the LAN to their workstation (different hardware on the host), the guest linked clone complains that it needs re-activated, requiring us to call Microsoft and go through that long process for every linked clone we have to make outside of the machine it was made on originally. Is there a…
