0xc0000005 Recycle Bin exception error: It's baaaaack...
by Guest Opinicus- 0 replies
- 138 views
Using WinXP with all updates etc in place. Lately I've started getting the 0xc0000005 error again increasingly more frequently when I double-click on the Recycle Bin or do a right-click / Open. Right-click "Explore" and "Empty" cause no problems. Didn't KB938828 fix this? Has anyone else started seeing this behavior again? -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com

Delayed audio input and Mic In problems
by Guest Bidski- 1 reply
- 149 views
Sorry if im posting in the wrong area here. Im experiencing a problem that is boggling my mind on biblical proportions. I have a Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3 motherboard with Realtek ALC888 Audio Codec (Realtek HD Audio) onboard sound card. I have 2 problems which may or may not ne related (most probably not related). Firstly, my Mic In port (both on the front and the rear) produce a distorted and ever repeating noise whenever a signal is applied and i am unable to source where this sound is coming from or where it originated from. This has only recently shown up and nothing has changed in the system either software or hardware wise. Secondly, the "Line In" au…

System Restore - changing data?
by Guest Terry Pinnell- 6 replies
- 289 views
I've just realised that System Restore actually ALTERS data, i.e adds duplicate folders. Is that correct? Has this always been the case? Or is it just on my newish XP Pro PC, as against my old XP Home system? Surely that screws up the whole concept, which I'd thought was to backup/restore just the REGISTRY? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

Limited User Account has too much access to computer
by Guest SteveParks- 2 replies
- 184 views
Hello to anyone with the knowledge! I'm using XP Home Svc pack 2. My first problem is that I would like the access of more folders to be restricted to limited user accounts on my computer. I don't understand why in the sharing tab (under properties) of some folders I can check "make this folder private" and in other folders, this is not checkable or uncheckable. I would think that any folder on the Administrator's account should be denied access to a Limited account, not just the Administrator's My Docs folder. My second problem and the reason why I'm here is that I have an external hard drive connected by USB. I can go into the Guest user account, and h…

I have three separate user accounts. On two of them the "transparent" and "shadow" features for the desktop icons is working and even though the settings are the same for all three accounts, on the third the text is surrounded by color and the transparent & shadow feature will not work no matter what settings I modify.

Thanks to R. McCarty, Defrag working again!
by Guest Andrew- 0 replies

Subject: Re: Defrag no longer works! 7/24/2008 11:25 AM PST Thank you R. McCarty, everything is working as normal once again but without sp3. You were quite correct when you wrote: When you installed SP3 it migrated the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) to version 3.0. Once you removed SP3 the system doesn't roll back the MMC. The simplest solution is to update MMC for use with Service Pack 2. Information & Downloads here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907265 Simple solution to major poblem - thanks once again - Andrew

Most of you on here are aware of the taskbar infotip problem where occasionally they will hide behind the taskbar. The fix I have used is to click Start/Programs and right click any program and choose sort-by-name. After installing SP3 a couple of hours ago i noticed this fix no longer works. How come?, and how do i get my info tips back where they belong?.

Windows Security Center and antivirus updates
by Guest Paul- 4 replies
- 233 views
My update notifications for my antivirus program is goofing up. Someone told me that Windows Security Center will notify me if av definitions are older than 7 days. Is this true? I have always had the security center service disabled. If I turn it on again, can I have it set only to come into the System Tray and notify me if something is wrong? -- Paul MS Office Pro 2003 XP Home Dell Inspiron 1501

It appears explorer.exe is not starting when some of our users logon. They can get it to start by using task manager. I found a hotfix supplied by Microsoft (list above), but although the install finishes, the KB log indicates the following: 8.047: KB948277 Setup encountered an error: The update.ver file is not correct. This started with just a few users, now its creeping through the network. Its not a virus, and now other office (not on our network) are having the same issue. Any help is appreciated.

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP SP2, DSL and presently have AVG, Comodo, SpywareBlaster, and Hive Cleanup as well as System Mechanic.

Avast? Kaspersky? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Robert

Hi. I need to format my machine but by doing so I will obviously lose all the automatic updates that have been installed for the last three years.

http://www.dessouserotic.com/index.php Lingerie, est le terme utilisé pour désigner l'ensemble des sous-vêtements et des vêtements de nuit . Elle se caractérise par des tissus fins, lavables, brodés ou garnis de dentelles. La lingerie d'aujourd'hui se veut fonctionnelle et élégante. Douce, soyeuse, légère ou transparente, elle est pour de nombreuses femmes un atout de séduction. La lingerie sexy doit résoudre le paradoxe : cacher ce que l'on montre et montrer ce que l'on cache.

Date mysteriously changing.
by Guest Amanda- 4 replies
- 190 views
For some unknown reason the date in my XP Pro SP2 "Date & Time Properties" has suddenly decided to change the current day to a date 8 days ahead. Why - heavens knows. I can select the date - click "apply" and then one second later literally watch the highlighted date gently change from the current day to 8 days ahead. I've tried everything I can think of - does anyone have any ideas because it is a bit awkward sending mails etc as it looks as if I'm in the future. Many thanks.
