- 124 views
I am having problem with MS Paint. When I print screen and past on Paint or even just open up paint and put some text in it or open a BMP file with paint, i can see the content but it just prints out blank pages. I cannot see the content on print preview either. I've try printing to different printers, no use. I can save the file and open it on another computer and it is fine. If i create a bmp file with paint on a different computer, i have the same computer with the bmp file on this computer. I have the same problem if i logon as a different user. please help, Thank you, Steve Louie

Saving e-mailed photos
by Guest Pat- 5 replies
- 216 views
I have saved photos e-mailed to me in Outlook Express in the past by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Save Picture As." Today when I right-clicked on a photo I am getting this message: "The system cannot find the file specified" and then it tells me I need to reinstall the file: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.hlp Help file." I do not know how to do this. Can someone please walk me through it so that I can save photos once again. Many thanks!

msconfig startup location
by Guest martkaufman- 5 replies
- 231 views
Where is the location of the msconfig "startup" file/tab? After startup items have been "deselected", they still hang around on the list. After a while, it makes it difficult to find other startup items without rolling through the whole thing. Is it possible to "edit" the file to remove these no-longer-used entries?

XP computer doesn't see Vista computer on network
by Guest Ernie Lane- 1 reply
- 139 views
I have a home wireless network, a "standard" one: the router is attached to a desktop (XP) and I have a laptop (Vista) that is wireless. I print using printer sharing on the desktop, so I know the laptop "sees" the desktop, at least for that (or is it that the laptop sees the desktop?). That's confirmed in Network -- on the laptop, I see the deskrop's Documents ,Shared Documents and Printers. However, it doesn't work in the other direction: nothing on the laptop, not even the laptop itself, shows up. However, if I click on "view workgroup computers" in Start...My Network Places on the desktop, the laptop computer is listed. However, if I double-c…

Windows XP and MDAC 2.5 or Later Edition
by Guest Steven L.- 0 replies
- 122 views
I received a CD-RAM from the Department of the Army that apparently requires MDAC 2.5 to view its contents (x-ray films). When I try to download MDAC 2.5 or 2.8, my system tells me that an error occurred and this software is already a part of Windows. The ability to view this CD-ROM is essential for Disability Claim purposes, but I am unable to use the CDVIEWER progam on the CD-ROM. Does anyone have a solution?

Say's no sound card detected
by Guest r8er4ever- 7 replies

One day after a power outage all the sudden no sound. I have tried again and again to install the driver's, but I keep getting the message that it is not detecting the card. But if I go to device manager it shows my sound blaster card there with a yellow ! on it. Also when I boot up my computer every time it loads windows I get that blue screen and it wants to do some kind of disk check. If I allow it to do that it gives a error and shuts down, but if i hit space key and skip it, it boots fine except for the sound problem of course. So any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Here is a EVEREST summery I hope it supply's any needed info on my computer to…

How do you restore if your hard drive crashes?
by Guest Chris23- 5 replies
- 226 views
I use Acronis True Image to back up my entire HD. I back up all files to create a system disk image. Now - what if I have this image on a separate USB backupdrive. Next thing is the hard drive on the XP computer irrevocably fails. Then I get a new blank formatted HD installed. What do I do at that point to get it all back on the new computer drive? Don't I need the setup files that were on the original failed drive, and the acronis program, to bring it all back? This is called disaster recovery? Not restoring. Thanks.

Is there some way to stop WinXP Disk Error Checking on boot?
by Guest E-Double- 3 replies
- 182 views
Is there some way to (safely) terminate the Windows XP Disk Error Checking process during boot? There is a critical PC that needs to be accessed, but that is running the disk check on boot-up. Just trying to reboot, however, re-initiates the disk checking process and does not give the message 'Press Any Key In 5 Seconds To Cancel Error Checking.' In order to bypass this in the future, is there some way to get around this process? TIA ...

Strange Behavior-not sure what to do
by Guest Danger_Duck- 1 reply
- 150 views
So sometimes when I tell my computer to standby, it will do so, but after few minutes, the fan will start roaring and the CD drive sounds like it's spinning its heart out. During these antics, the computer comes back from standby without even touching the mouse or keyboard (perhaps fury of the fan moved the mouse a bit? No idea). Anyhow, since this is not a software problem and hence no stack trace etc. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it. Suggestions?

After weeks of trying to resolve issues with my HP, I have ordered recovery CDs. I have a couple of concerns... 1) Is there anything I need to do to prep the HP before the installation? 2) Will the recovery affect the BIOS? As always, thanks for all the help!!
