Automatic log-in?
by Guest Janetb- 6 replies
- 346 views
How can I set my system so I don't have to log-in everytime I boot up? I'd like to to skip not only the welcome Screen but also the Log on to Windows dialogue box---that is, to have automatic log-in. I had it that way with my old 2KPro before I upgraded to XP recently. I'd like to be able to turn on the computer, go away, and have it ready to use when I come back..... I'm the only one who ever uses the computer. Thanks. Janet

I have a incredibly annoyong erro on two XP machiones Ive never seen before. When I type something into the adress bar of an explorer window to go to a new location, half way through while I am typing the address bar reverts to show the address of the current showing directory. For example, lets say I have an explorer window open in the directory c:\program files: I click the address bar (which now empties and is ready for input) and I want to type in (for example) \\f00-address\c$.

When I swithched from 2KPro to XP, the video card driver automatically installed by XP does not support D3D which I need for my 3d program. I have a downloaded .exe file for an xp-suited driver which does support D3d. How do I switch them? Can I run the .exe for installing the new driver while the other one is installed? Is there a video card dialogue box where I can chose from installed drivers? Thanks, Janet -- Thanks for the help!

Email this file - choose profile?
by Guest Judy- 4 replies

"Hi. I used to resize my photos through HP Photosmart Essential but recently started having problems with it not recognising Outlook Express. Working on this with HP however this made me look at alternatives and I found the function in XP to resize photos. However it wants me to "choose profile" and I don't understand what this is or what to do. I prefer to use Outlook Express but will consider other alternatives. It could be that the HP and the XP problems are related. I have checked my profiles (as much as I know how) and they are set to Outlook Express. Help please.
