My computor is slow & when I went into control panel to see if it was there, it was but no kbs with it. I presume it has been deleted. Can I reinstall?

I have a Toshiba Tecra A4 laptop running Windows XP Pro. It has 2 USB ports. When I connect a mouse to any of the USB ports, I see the following message (displayed only once, not consistenly each time I connect the mouse to the USB port): USB Device Not Recognized One of the USB ports has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it.

8800 + ATIs = unhappy XP x86, but okay under x64? [long]
by Guest Homer J. Simpson- 7 replies
- 330 views
Hi all, I have a machine that initially had XP x86, an Nvidia 6600GT (PCI-Express) and a couple of PCI ATI cards (a Radeon 7000 and a 7500, to be exact) for multi-monitor purposes. I installed XP x64 shortly after it came out back in 2005 (?), which I've been using almost exclusively after about a week or two of slow migration. x64 has actually been reinstalled on this machine a couple of times since (now being my primary OS), and I've only rebooted to XP x86 a few times here and there (mainly, to use partition resizing tools that don't work yet on x64). The machine's been running fine with this configuration for years. About two months ago I repl…

Win98se cursors & themes
by Guest Greg T- 0 replies
- 196 views
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Win98se themes and cursors in WinXP. I have two drives hooked up, one with WinXP Pro SP2 and the other Win98se. Can I copy cursor and theme files from Win98 to WinXP without a problem. I have done this but it seems(not sure) that some of the cursors give me trouble with the cursor locking up after awhile(not all the time). I have done some investigation and it seems that the Nature cursors from Win98 Plus package work alright. I have checked with Paint Shop Pro and for the most part those cursors are 4bit/16 color cursors. When I switch to Travel(8bit/256 color) cursors I will get lockups after awhile. I could go …

Speeding up WE searches
by Guest Dan- 5 replies
- 314 views
My 2.4 Ghz core 2 duo XP Home machine which I built has 6 hdds (4 sata's & 3 ide's, no raid config at present) with a total of 10 partitions, ~ 2,000 gig of space, about half of which is currently full, mostly with thousands of multimedia files. Searching for a single file can be fairly time consuming. Not awful, but t takes several minutes & I wish it were faster. I have the indexing service turned on, but this has not noticeably shortened search times. Is there any other way to speed up searches across so much hdd space? TIA Dan

I have 4 compaq deskpro PC's that came with XP Pro. There are stickers on the computers with the XP CD keys. I want to take those keys and convert them to product ID's to replace the current one on the registry. Any ideas how to do this? The current product ID in the registry is from my companys windows image NOT the actual one on the PC's. The company is giving these to employees now and does not want their VL key to be left on the PC's.

I got a pc that had a previous owner, It has Win XP Pro. I have deleted all user accounts but there are still folders and processes with that person's name. I changed the computer name as well. When I go to task manager it still shows many processes running with the old person's name. There is a folder in "documents and settings" with the old person's name that I cannot delete. Help! I want to remove ALL traces of this person from the computer - without reformatting the harddrive.
