Firewire driver prob
by Guest Paul- 4 replies
- 229 views
Hi folks, this error is starting to appear in event viewer (XP SP3) Sometimes this error appears, and the entry for the firewire appears (Its a PCI FW card) says its fine in device manager, but the icon for it doesnt appear in network connections. But at the mo, its a code 10 in device manager, and obviously there's no icon in network connections. Does it sound like the card is faulty, or should I try extracting the ohci1394 file, from the XP CD again, and replace it? Thanx Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7026 Date: 8/25/2008 Time: 9:38:42 PM User: N/A Computer: SPEEDY Description: T…

"bad pool headers"
by Guest Kahless- 2 replies
- 257 views
ThsnksMy son is getting the blue screen of death with the error message "bad pool headers". He is in the Air Force and left me a voicemail about his pc. The cause appears to be that he click on one of those scams to have your pc scanned by AntivirusXP. After the 2300 viruses it found, that his Kaspersky did not, it wanted a credit card to continue. He clicked cancel and the BSOD cycle started. When the pc reboots, he is already logged in as the same user. Where can I find information to fix the "bad pool headers" error?

File associations
by Guest Trevor Smith- 2 replies
- 167 views
Hi All, I've rebuilt my pc and now have trouble with two file types, when double clicking files in explorer. The files have .sch and .pcb extensions, from my printed circuit board design program. I've changed the "OPEN WITH" to show the correct program but in explorer it still thinks they are "Microsoft Schedule+ Application" files. If I right click on the files and check the properties, it shows the correct program. When I double click, the correct program opens OK, but no file is present. I can use "open" from the program OK, but I'd prefer to work from explorer normally. Any ideas please ? -- Trevor Smith

Hidden file and folders are not displayed
by Guest Talib- 21 replies
- 677 views
Hi All, I've faced this problem many times wherein I am unable to view hidden files and folders instead of enabling the 'Show hidden files and folers' option in folder options on tools menu. I even tried editing the registry settings but it reverts back to the 'Do not show hidden files and folders' settings. I know this situation is caused by a virus. But even after a complete anti virus scan it didn't work. My main concern to view hidden files is that I want to delete Autorun.inf file on the C drive which does not allow me to open C drive simply by double clicking on it. Whenever I double click on the C drive an "open with" dialog box appears whi…
