Hi, I installed XPSP3 on my system leaving 100MB free at the end of the disk.

Vides Fill screen on external monitor...
by Guest Bob Day- 0 replies

Using XP Pro (with latest upgrades) on high end laptop connected to a docking station that has an external VGA 22" monitor connect to it. When I watch a video from a website, on the laptop screen you see what you would expect, but on the external monitor, the video will fill my external monitor screen 100%. I normally use windows meda player. In skype, for example, if on a video conference call, the laptop will be as expected but the external monitor will be to 100% sized videos rapidly flashing back and forth between each other. It's very annoying to have video in full screen because you loose your mouse and you're unable to to see the program . D…

My hdd is divided into C: & E: partitions with D: been the DVD RW. Apart from the folders that I created in E: also, there are RECYCLER folder and System Volume Information.

Comptemplating to reformat E; but do not know whether its safe to do so because of the presence of RECYCLER/SVI folders. Anyone can advice and with thanks

We have 300 computers and soon we will change part of them, but we have problem to choose graphic card for the new ones. What we can gain buing more advanced card? We had AGP Matrox milennium with 32MB RAM. I tested some new ATI and NVidia card with 512 MB RAM, both with DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 and I do not see the difference besides that the last ones get more hot and need better cooling. What is all about this stupid mess with graphic cards? Who need faster one than those with AGP contact. I tested also some cards at my home computer with PCIexpressx16 and I really do not see any difference in speed compared to the AGP cards. At work people are using W…

Hallo, Sinds een week of 2 zijn meerdere xp pro systemen heel erg traag geworden bij opstarten. Het hele opstart proces duurt wel tot 15 minuten. Opstarten van applicaties en installatie van software is tergend langzaam. Update van 40MB duurde meer dan 60 minuten, ophalen van internet slechts 12 minuten. Meerdere scans laten zien dat er geen ongewenste software actief is, dit is ook te zien aan de router. Er is geen netwerkactiviteit. De installatie is volledig up to date met de laatste patches. De PC is een std xp pro installatie met office 2003. Verder draait Norman Virus Control en is de firewall actief. Met de sysinternals tools kan ik geen vreem…

MBR error
by Guest Bob Brown- 5 replies

Hi all, I have a question someone might have an answer to. I have a Compaq desktop (4yrs old) running XP sp2 (has now been updated to SP3). At boot up a couple of days ago I got the message "Master Boot Record Error". I hit "enter" and booted up as normal, there were no obvious problems, everything worked ok as it normally does. After looking through the comments on this site and trying some of the suggestions therein, I decide to do a new install. I've found in the past it's good to get rid of all the crap and re-install. After the re-install I got exactly the same message. So I thought I'd try another drive, well I did and got exactly the same error.…

XP is so much better than Vista. Why don't Microsoft just scrap the whole Vista fiasco and stay with XP? IMHO XP is the best OS on the market. Superior to all others. All replies welcome.

Desktop Icons Do Not Load
by Guest rusty7010- 1 reply
- 277 views
When I go to login to my account on the computer, it takes a long time. Then all that shows up is my desktop background. My Icons will not load up. I get an error message. Sometimes I can get on, at other times I can't. I do not remember the exact wording of the error message. I have Windows XP Home, IE7. Also, I keep getting a "reminder" message to install SP3. But before I do they say to do a backup of the system. I haven't installed the SP3 yet as I don't really know how to do a backup. Could this be the reason for my "icon-loading problems"?

Hey all.. I have a slight problem with my computer not accepting incoming connections or stopping at one of my ISP's servers at least.. Basically, I have set up an IRC server which is configured correctly, I can connect to it, other servers can link with it etc..

Which was unsuccessful. After this they did a trace route which w…
