Computer boot problem
by Guest Markkk- 6 replies
- 196 views
I have a problem getting the computer to boot properly when I first turn it on in the morning. (If I turn it off and then on later in the day it works fine.) What happens is it goes through all the motions of booting up, including playing the warm-up theme music, but the screen remains dark. If I turn the monitor off and on, I can see the desktop for an instant when it comes back on, before the screen again goes dark. The Windows loading screen (with the moving bar) also flashes by momentarily during bootup. If I leave the computer on for half an hour or so after the bootup, I can push the spacebar to make the desktop appear (just like when the computer is…

Hi, I'm running a Dell Latitude D830, 3gb ram, 2.6Ghz Centrino, and Windows XP SP3. The machine usually boots, and logs on to the point where you can begine to run programs, in under 2 minutes. Friday I decided to upgrade to Media PLayer 11, (because I was fed up with it nagging me to upgrade). I performed the upgrade, and rebooted. However, since the upgrade, bootup now takes about 5 minutes, with Windows hanging at the 'running startup scripts' screen, then once you've entered your username/password, login takes another 5 minutes, with Windows just displaying the standard background, and nothing else. You can't even ctrl+alt+del to bring up task manager to…

Can't format

I have a Dell computer that I bought about 3 years ago. With time it became obsolete for the use I wanted to give it and I bought a brand new one but I consider that my old machine is a good equipment and that my nephews could still use it and I wanted to give it to them but without the burden of so many old programs that make its start up to take too long. So I thought of formating it and reinstalling the whole XP but I haven't been able to do it. I changed the boot sequence to start with the CD and I also enabled the Installing OS (or something like that) option but still when i turn on the computer with the cd labeled as "Operating System" and having…

SP3 changing OE Newsreader settings?
by Guest Pheasant Plucker®- 5 replies
- 264 views
Hi there, Having held off SP3 for a while until the dust settled I thought I would update all my computers. All seemed to go well apart from my main machine (isn't it always the way:-) where I rebooted and I saw the 'Setting up Outlook Express Preferences' or something similar. Why would SP3 want to do that? I see now my customised toolbar has defaulted back to something else and I don't know what else may have changed. So...why did SP3 decide to change my OE Settings and more importantly what exactly did it change apart from the toolbar that I can see? -- Thanks & regards, -=pp=-

WinXP Pro SP 3 Latest Intellitype app. My 'favorites' keys will not bring up their assigned web sites while I'm using IE7. When I attempt to use them my computer freezes and I must reboot. When applying one of the four assigned keys from a cold boot all is well - I get to the sites I have selected. What must I do to eliminate this annoying situation? -- none
