Open with... - How to get option back
by Guest Smirnoff- 6 replies
- 392 views
I plugged in an old USB scanner and up came the "Open with....." dialogue box. Without thinking I chose Photoshop AND "Always perform this action....." Then realised I might want to save to Word or Irfanview. Can't seem to find a way to "Undo" the Photoshop option. Tried right-clicking on the scanner icon in My Computer but am not seeing any "Opens with..." setting to change. How do I get XP to ask what programme to open with again?

Problem sending pictures from Windows Explorer
by Guest Roger Van Loon- 2 replies
- 272 views
I am using Win XP professional edition. I used to send pictures, and resize them, from Windows Explorer (selecting the pictures, File, Send To, Mail Recipient). I always then got the options to resize them (make files smaller), or not. Now, all of a sudden, this does not work anymore. Yes, I can still send them, but only in the original size. How come? TIA Roger.

Help from the pros...

Hi, My PC is getting really slow, showing a lot of errors, and stuff in spite of being treated with registry mechanic several times. I've erased the cache, cleaned viruses and spywares in safe mode, deleted the unwanted files from the PC. What do you think I should do? I think that I might have to reinstall XP. I have the CD with me...The problem is I don't know the exact algorithm to do it.... I've heard that it is kinda dangerous too if you mess up...Anyway, why do we always have to reinstall from the blue screen during boot up? Why can't we put the CD and press reinstall button in the autorun menu? As you can see, I'm pretty confused....Please tell me wha…

System Hangs Up
by Guest bob- 3 replies
- 321 views
Running XP Professional at home. Not connected to a network. When a particular user logs off, the system hangs: the cursor becomes an hourglass against a pale blue background screen. This seems to happen indiscriminately, but it happens often. To resolve, I must shut the PC down and restart. I have run anti-virus but it has not resolved the problem. Any ideas on how to resolve or what the problem might be? Thanks, Bob

I have changed my Disk Defragmenter utility to a much mor epowerful one and I am wondering now if I should get rid of the one that comes with windows. It is probably taking up otherwise usable space on my hard drive and I don't want that. How much is Disk Defragmenter taking up, and how can I get rid of it?

I really don't know what I'd Google for, so I'll just explain this one. I'm working on a computer that was all bogged down + had a moderate amount of spyware. I took a pile of stuff out of startup and now it's running pretty snappy-like. It's an older Dell, 1.8Ghz with 256Mb ram. XP Home, SP2 up to date. I downloaded free Avast with IE from download.com. It came reasonably fast. I installed it and then went to their registration page. The page only partially loaded and then just sat there. Well, sometime that page is slow so I decided to try later. I had installed Adaware earlier, but couldn't get the updates. That happens too sometimes, so I installed Supe…
