by Guest lenny- 1 reply

Hi, Not sure this is the correct group but i am sure someone has had the same problem as me. I just can't get a Nokia 6310i to be recognised by my XP Pro machine. I have loaded the software from Nokia and tried every USB port on the computer but the computer will not recognise the phone. Because of this I am unable to get my contacts off to transfer them to my new Iphone.

Remote Desktop - display connection bar
by Guest Eric- 1 reply
- 154 views
I used to be able to start Remote Desktop in a mode where the connection bar at the top of the screen disappeared, except when I put the mouse point at the top of the screen, when it would reappear. But I did something yesterday which messed that up. Now the connection bar disappears as soon as I log on, and I can't get it back. When I start Remote Desktop, I go into Options/Display and I un-check the box labeled "Display the connection bar when in full screen mode". Any suggestions.

HOW DO I GET MY SCREEN SIZE BACK TO NORMAL? PLEASE HELP!
by Guest barb124- 4 replies
- 210 views
Somehow without knowing it, I've enlarged my screen size so that when I'm on any websites, they are enlarged and don't fit on the viewing screen ... I have to scroll over to see the right margin, etc. I have tried fixing font size in the control panel, but it doesn't help. I also tried using the zoom feature on the tools drop down menu, but it is a temporary fix at best. Could anyone please help with this? Thanks! -- Barb

Micrsoft Virtual PC backup image of my C: hard drive
by Guest Steve Miller- 10 replies
- 282 views
Hello NG! I haven't found an other more specific NG on the question I want to ask. That's why I'm going to ask my question here. Can I restore an image of my pc with Microsoft Virtual PC so I'll find everything as I left it? I know it's said to function but I hardly can think it's true. I have reinstalled Window several times after hard drive failures or on new computers as well. I made backups of my files and I'm also familiar with restoring these files. Only thing are program settings I had to restore manually, which was getting tiring today ( due to the number of programs installed ). Steve

Folder moves between drives rather than copies
by Guest Paul- 11 replies
- 371 views
I dragged a folder from my D-drive to a memstick drive. Like all other Microsoft Windows systems I used, I expected this drag to copy the folder. Instead, it moved the folder. How can I get the copying behaviour that I'm more use to? I know that Ctrl-drag performs the copying that I want, but I consider it unsafe to have move behaviour in response to an action that normally performs a copy.

When I archive photos downloaded material to DVD, I need the folder structure in Windows Explorer printed on the surface of the DVD.

Stop Error

I am getting the blue screen Stop: C000021a {Fatal System Error} Logon Process terminated error upon boot. There were some viruses on the PC which were removed in safe mode with AVG. However, I think the lsass.exe was terminated in the task manager during the process. Any Ideas? Would the lsass.exe file cause this stop error? Thanks.

Sound card not visible after OS Re-Instalation.
by Guest dareys- 6 replies
- 278 views
Greetings, Due to miscellaneous problems, I just reformated my hard drive and re-installed the OS from disks. Unfortunately, in spite of the fact that the BIOS indicates that sound functionality is enabled, the hardware menu under the system folder does not show the sound hardware and or drivers. Perhaps the built-in sound card has gone bad? Or is anyone else aware of any BIOS/OS parameter and/or installation I can execute to re-add the sound hardware and drivers? Otherwise, any tips on pinpointing the sound card as the faulty component would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. Jean-Pierre
