Stayed up most of the night, installing Aunties XP Home SP2 OEM PC, and all went swimmingly. ....and I was impressed, particularly with hardware, in that after everything I installed and changed and tweaked, and after every reboot - within two to three seconds of XP Homes' classic theme blue screen "WELCOME" ....WALLOP ! ....desktop and icons were there in a flash. After all this work I decided to Norton Ghost 9 | full backup C:\ onto 2nd hd D:\ ...ready for when Auntie gets her hands on it, (just kidding - she's very good on a PC). Knowing that a PC is bever quite the same after Nortons' been in there - I diligintly made a Restore Point and labelled…

by Guest Dan- 6 replies

Running Windows XP Pro SP3. This is the setup.... HD #1 - 40 gig (one partition) Drive C:\ (System) 40 gig HD #2 - 40 gig (three partitions) Drive D:\ (Backup) 3 gig Drive E:\ (Setup Files) 1 gig Drive F:\ (Music) 33 gig Two questions...Is there a way to partition the first drive (with Windows on it)? Secondly, if I use disk management in XP to delete the drive D or E partitions on HD #2, will I lose data in drive F partition? Drive D is the active partition, E is an extended and F is a logical drive...I think! Thanks in advance for any help.

My computer was just worked on and I have the Microsoft Works Suite 2002 loaded, however the Picture It Phote 2002 will not operate. I have removed and reinstalled but it did not help via disc 3. Everything is there, but when I click on a card size, I am kicked out of the program. Can anyone tell me how to repair this? If not, can someone tell me if Microsoft offers another program that operates the same as this one did? The other Microsoft Works Suite 2002 programs work. -- mrs luke

Possibly Related Errors, Scripts and MMC

I have a computer that for the most part runs ok. i cannot get into the services window no matter how i try to get there. i always get the "do you want to continue running scripts on this page message" and cannot do anything but end now in task manager which causes the services screen to close. I get this same thing when i try to print an email in outlook express. The scripts error window offers no clues as to what is actually going wrong. I don't know if it is related but, I've also noticed that i can no longer get to the windows update site. Is there anything I can do short of a reinstall of windows xp home? Something new, I tried to do start-run\mmc …

multiple instances of IE on reboot 1 2

I have one workstation on a network, that whenever I go to reboot it, it gives the error dialog that IEXPLORE.EXE needs to close. After clicking on End Now multiple times, if I cancel the reboot, I can see multiple IEXPLORE.EXE in Task Manager, often a dozen or more instances. What would be causing this behavior, and how can I correct it? I've never seen that on any other workstation before. I'm beginning to wonder whether I should just make Firefox the default browser. XP Pro sp2 w/IE 7 and all updates. Thanks, -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clickin…
