XP Pro SP3 took out Mouse and driver from Device Manager
by Guest JoJo- 6 replies
- 280 views
I see the pointer frozen in the middle of the display but no mouse activity and weirder yet is no sign of any mouse installed and no mouse drivers can be seen in Device Manager. Scary. Opinions on what to do next? I do have really old IntelliPoint 1.1 on floppy disk and a CD to boot from.

I have IE version 6. I am currently taking courses online. I can log on to the test site successfully, but when I click on the link to begin the test, the information box from Internet Explorer pops up asking me if I want to "allow this page to paste information from my clipboard". I click both no, yes, and exit buttons. I get a flash of the box, nothing else happens; I cannot remove this box from my screen. Subsequently, the page is locked. I have to restart my pc to fix this. Can someone please help me, I need to be able to take these tests from home. I don't know much about computers, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Internet Explorer freezing up
by Guest Chris D- 4 replies
- 225 views
With some regularity my Internet Explorer page seems to freeze up. It seems to always happen to the first page that's been opened, with any other Internet Explorer pages that are open not being affected. The page will not respond in any way and appear to be just frozen up. To close it I have to open up 'windows task manager'. I also often get a message from windows reporting a fault and asking if I'm happy to post a fault report, which I do. My system is fully up to date. Any suggestion on what problems I might have or how I could do some fault finding to find the problem. Regards....Chris

WinXP SP2 very, very slow?? 1 2
by Guest Robert Macy- 37 replies
- 920 views
When I boot up WinXP it takes a 'normal' time to get the desk top laid out, and all in place, but then can't do anything for almost 5 minutes until the START menu icon activates. Little hour glass until then. Possibly related, when IE6 logs onto the dial up server, there is a normal sequence of dial, handshake, identify, connect, and then...about 5 minutes longer before the welcome screen comes up [no activity or bytes going back and forth, just hour glass and waiting for ??] I think WinXP has some sequence of applications running that dominates here, but I have no idea how to proceed. What step by steps should I do to find out what's hogging, or delayin…

IE - HELP! Web pages refuse to fit in the screen Help anyone? When I have any web page open, it will not fit inside the window and I have to scroll not only up and down,which isn't that unusual, but from left to right and it's driving me bonkers! It seems to have started about 3weeks ago. I have W2Kpro and IE6 both with all the service packs and updates avail. I'm grateful for your help! -- Desiree 3D

Cannot delete old local profile from XP domain system
by Guest Sandy Wood- 4 replies
- 206 views
Doing some house cleaning and noticed several old local profiles on my XP system and thought I'd delete them. The Delete button is greyed out in the User Profile GUI for every profile on my system. I ran Process Explorer and noticed that every profile's NTUSER was loaded and wouldn't allow me to close their handles. Can anyone suggest a clean way to rid myself of these old profiles? -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney

My Documents Synchronization to old server problem
by Guest owenmpk- 0 replies

Hello, I I have an XP Pro system that is a member of a Domain managed by Server 2003 Standard. Apparently before my time it was also a member of an old domain and was setup to sync to the old server. That server no longer exists but during log of the system will try to sync to the old server and fail but syncs to the new server and succeeds. I have searched far and wide on the Internet and have not found a solution. Either it is staring me in the face or I am the first with this problem (am I lucky or what?) Any ideas -- Owen K

RE: Identifying Motherboard's Make and Model The last time you posted this question, a week or two ago, I recommended you use the Belarc Advisor at: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and look at "main circuit board". Someone suggested that it's dangerous spyware. I don't think so. And neither do most responsible, reasonable people. I still recommend that you use the Belarc Advisor. Milt Someone "unknown" wrote: >

IE7 Problems - XP, SP3
by Guest D. Kirkpatrick- 8 replies
- 353 views
I have been asked to look at a friend's system. Windows XP, SP3 installed. All of the latest Windows updates (on auto-install) are in there as of the date of this posting. AVG Ver 8 (Grissoft) as AV program, no additional firewall issues that I can detect. Comcast Broadband connection. When using IE7 to connect to Yahoo Mail it does not display the pages correctly, and some pages will not display at all. Unsure if this is a Java, ActiveX, Flash, or some other issue. I followed the instructions offered from Yahoo for when the pages do not display correctly (I think) and enabled anthing that might have been improperly disabled, such as ActiveX. …

File time changes with UK daylight saving hours
by Guest jd- 1 reply
- 145 views
I was checking some copies of a file that I regularly backup by appending the date and time to the filename. In Windows Explorer, when I now check these backup files (when UK time is GMT + 1 hour daylight saving) the ones that were stored during the winter (when UK time was GMT) have a time that is 1 hour ahead of the time appended onto the filename. Is this the way that Windows works? Is there an option to make Windows Explorer display the time as it appeared to be when the file was created/modified, and if there is, would there be any side effects in using it?

Hi I use IE7 and am happy with it ~ up until now have had no problems, however, since a few days ago I have been having problems getting web pages to open ~ I keep getting IE cannot display this page . . . I checked my MS update history tonight and found SP3 had downloaded automatically ` would this be the cause of the problem ? How do I get back to normal ? Do I uninstall SP3 ? What effect will it have on my computer ~ ? Do I need SP3 ? I do not want to change back to IE6 ( as I like IE7 ) if I really don't have to. Thank you in advance for your help. Tillpott
