Windows XP SP3 handles Daylight Savings Time end incorrectly?
by Guest Joe Zygala- 16 replies
- 702 views
This morning (Sunday, 10/26/2008) when I got up and rebooted my 3 computers, the 2 that are at SP2 say, correctly, that they are on Eastern Daylight Time. The one running SP3 says it is on Eastern Standard Time. All three are configured the same way - (GMT - 5:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) and Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes. Is there a bug in the SP3 code? How can I fix this?

Hey guys, My computer kept on giving me 3 error messages.

I downloaded the program and it solved 2 of my errors. Now i have one message that appears. Will buying their full version fix the last one? Has anybody even heard of this product\company and share their experience? Thanx, AndySacks AndySacks@live.com

I recently had a HD failure and had installed a new 320 GB SATA drive and reinstalled XP Home SP3. I created several restore points on day one as I slowly rebuild what I had. However today, 3 days later I do not have a previous restore point? I have enabled restore points to C drive only, but at it's maximum it's only showing 36629 MB. My HD has 290 GB free. Help is appreciated.

How to build XP Embedded?
by Guest Hogweed- 0 replies
- 263 views
Hi – we build gaming machines here, many of which contain ruggedised PC’s running XP Embedded. We’re now upgrading our hardware, and my employer is willing to let me have several unused motherboards for very little. The boards have XP Embedded licences and COA with them, and I’d like to build them into PC’s, but the Embedded build we use is pretty minimal, so I’d like to put full XP Pro on them. If this is legit (my very limited understanding is that XPe can be built pretty much any way you like, up to a full XP Pro build), any tips as to how I might go about preparing an image or install CD? More of a hobby, ie for learning, than anything else really.…

After a recent hard drive formatting and reinstalling my programs, the last couple of days I'm getting some sort of message about Program Change ereg32.exe, apparently located at: D:\EREG\ereg32.exe It's giving me 3 choices: Keep Settings Delete Settings Block Program The last one being if I don't know what to do, so I've been choosing that one for now. But each time I turn on the computer I get the message again. I googled the ereg32.exe, but the only definitive answer I got was one where someone had it on the E drive (someone's CD rom, I think) and they were told to delete , and since my D is my CD rom, I'm wondering if that's the advi…

I have an ACER portable computer. I very recently upgraded to XP home service pack 3. The default language is Greek. Since then, most of the time I cannot switch from one language to the other (Greek and English), neither from the keyboard nor by using the tool bar menu. Some times the languages do change but this is not reflected on the tool bar. Is it possible for someone to help me on this?
