I read through many of the other inputs, but some of the links are no longer active. In the path bar the "Shared documents" shows up in the path bar as "documents". Initially, the path lead to some confusion when I was trying to find the missing documents folder that was in the path of file.

Windows Installer Problem
by Guest bigjohn- 8 replies
- 324 views
I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 on a Dell Dimension 4600 desktop computer. I have a downloaded update for Outlook that will not install. It keeps trying to install and fails every time. Also, when I try to uninstall a program, I get an error message that reads: “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.” I am running in normal mode, not safe mode. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this problem? -- Thanks, John

From one day to the next, I right click my desktop and go to properties and all I see is appearance, themes, and settings, NO DEKTOP TAB?!?! I can no longer "center," "tile," or "stretch," my photos for my desktop wallpaper. I have run numerous virus scans, they come back clean. I run ad-ware as well as spyware and what ever does show up I delete. Then restart my computer and the desktop tab is still gone. I tried to "system restore" back to when I know I had it, but there were no days and it wont let me go back a month. Please, please can someone tell me how to get this back? I am running windows XP...and my email is timothyra81@yahoo.com, please email me…

XP Pro hangs~CD,SafeMode do not work...
by Guest Bubbus- 3 replies

XP Pro OS would not load... it gets stuck at the splash screen (the blue bar keeps going for so long then it just reboots itself then the same thing over and over again). It wouldn't load into Safe Mode either. The hard drive light was on solid the whole time, not flashing. XP CD would not load so no further repair or adjustment can be done... the CD would start spinning but then stops, it wouldnt load. Any suggestions on repairing? Thank you!

So, in Windows XP, you can right-click on the taskbar, select Toolbars > New Toolbar and select a folder or drive that you want to setup a new toolbar to for. Can somebody tell me where in the profile or registry Windows stores the source location (The drive/folder that you selected) for this toolbar? Any help would be apreciated.

by Guest chiefwalt- 1 reply

Ever since I downloaded Windows XP Service Pack 3, The Blue screen, (death screen) periodically comes up, and NEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR appears, with the bottom part of the screen that says stop:0X00000077. Sometimes, after I shut my computer off, let it sit, and re-start it, I can get it running again. Sometimes it will take 3 or 4 restarts to accomplish this. Any help would sure be appreciated.

The Windows Search function doesn't work
by Guest Wallace- 4 replies
- 206 views
Bit of a weird one thisone.... When I go in to the Windows Search function I expect to be able to enter my search criteria. However, I don't get any boxes to enter my search criteria, only the Windows pet, which doesn't do anything when I click on it. Also the Edit pulldown menu exists but you don't get any menu appearing when you click on it! Any idea why this might be and what I might do to rectify it?

Application lock-up
by Guest gary- 5 replies
- 254 views
In Excel 2007, while saving a spreadsheet; selecting, deleting or inserting columns; etc, an hourglass appears on my monitor and I can hear the local hard disk spinning (the sound is more noticeable than when the hard disk is not being accessed). But, after the process ends, the hard disk repeatedly speeds up and slows down and I can't work on the spreadsheet (the hourglass remains on my monitor). Task Manager's "Application" page shows that "Microsoft Excel" is "Not Responding". And, the "Processes" page shows that the "Mem Usage" for EXCEL.EXE does not change. What is causing this problem and how can I resolve it?
