search unicode docs from Windows Explorer
by Guest Joe- 1 reply
- 287 views
Message: I am trying to use the XP Windows Explorer search function. I am trying to search documents, including Microsoft Outlook email documents (.msg) that I copied from Outlook to My Documents directory. Windows Explorer "Search" can not find simple strings that are contained in the documents. I looked at the document format. It seems that these documents are using Unicode format. Mr Gates, Please fix. All I want is to search the Unicode documents for Ascii text. I am looking for the document that contains the name "Fooks" for example. Your search function should translate the Unicode to Ascii for searching purposes.

Protection Error 103
by Guest Kcirtap1990- 1 reply
- 306 views
Recently I have been getting an error message when running certain programs on Windows XP Home Edition. The error is "Protection Error: 103". When I ran a program this error popped up and closed the program. I thought it was just a problem with the program itself so I left it alone. Then a few weeks later it started popping up in other programs, such as Internet Explorer. And now it will show up while a program is running and not just when I am starting it up. If anyone knows of a solution, please help me out. Thanks, Patrick

I have uninstalled a software on my office computer last week and since then it is impossible to install any MSI package. As soon as I click the icon I get the message: “This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package …”. Uninstalling software does the same thing. I searched on internet. In 99% of the cases, this message appeared at the installation of specific packages and there was a workaround to solve the problem or the package had been corrupted during download or something like that. But cases like mine were rare and the few forums where the subject was discussed ended with no conclusion. As suggested I reinstalled Windows Inst…
