XP is asking for programs when clicking multimedia files
by Guest Lars-Erik Østerud- 2 replies
- 248 views
Even if the file-type setup is set right (as always) XP is asking what program I like to open the files in (on WAV, MP3, WMV etc). Some other types always open in "sound recorder" (the old one) even when the file-type is set to Media Player. Why is XP not using my settings? -- Lars-Erik - http://www.osterud.name - ICQ 7297605

I am setting up our PC in my small business. One Administrator account and several Limited User accounts planned. I do not want Limited User accounts to access the any hard drive files accept programs and their own data. Currently, any Limited User can just go to the C: drive (hard drive) and open and access any folder and file, even windows directory, et cetera. Not good. Please help. Jim

One minute delay after unlocking Windows XP
by Guest Donald S.- 0 replies
- 198 views
I normally lock my PC when I will be away for a while by control-alt-delete and "lock computer", which has worked well until recently. Now, there is exactly a 60 second delay after I type my password to unlock the PC. It is exactly 60 sec every time, and I have tried it with antivirus, firewalls, etc shut off - always the same 60 sec delay. This leads me to believe there is a 60 second delay setting somewhere that is causing it, but I can not find it. BTW, the PC boots up at normal speed when first started. This delay only occurs when using the lock computer function. Please help. Thanks.

I don't know what the green bar at the bottom of the screen that shows your progress is called. My problem is that all of a sudden yesterday, it disappeared. I haven't changed anything & it worked all these years. I can't find how to get it back. Another weird thing happened. I have been on a message board for months. I never new the avatars & smilies moved. Yesterday all of a sudden they started being animated. What would make them work? Did something somehow get changed so now ai can see them move but lost my green bar?? I need to know my progress status. Thanks.

I tried to update the drivers for my CD players (one a burner). When I tried to install the new HP driver for the first one, it deleted both drives! I came here and found a download called CDgone, but it didn't help. Any ideas on how to get my CD drives back? The Device Manager doesn't show them either, but shows no problems with the controllers. I haven't a clue! Thanks in advance!

Chinese character show as ??
by Guest JZ- 0 replies

Greeting, I have XP Pro SP2 and text editor TextPad installed on two computers. I enter some Chinese characters in a TextPad on one computer, it looked good. But when I Save it, all text became question marks. I suspect it is not saved as ANSI code, therefore after Save, the text changed to ?????. Yet on the other computer, it works just fine. I verified the settings on Regional and Languages on both PC, both have Asian Language Pack installed and Non-Unicode set to Chinese. This also happens to my programming IDE, Delphi 7. When I save Chinese Characters in D7, I can see on the 'correct" computer a character was saved as 5-digt number, on the "wrong…
