Error Message
by Guest David Mac- 0 replies
- 135 views
Hi everyone, I keep receiving this error message in Internet Explorer V7.0.5730.11 while accessing Google News Reader. Internet Explorer will shut down and ask to send an error report. I am currently running Windows XP Home SP3. The error involves SysFader.exe and I often have trouble when shutting down Windows as this program frequently stops responding. I do not have any problems with Google News Reader when using Firefox 3. Any help resolving this issue will be appreciated. Dave

Extremely low DVD sound (Media player)
by Guest JR- 9 replies
- 290 views
Hia folks I'm trying to set up PCs and laptops to read DVDs using the Media Player. Video (and menus, etc) come out ok, but the sound is allways so low I can barelly hear anything. Even with both sound levels at max (windows and speaker knob) it's not even a whisper... I've tried 2 movies on 1 PC and 1 laptop, diferent brands. They are both on Windows XP Pro. The only thing I can think of is a possible problem with the codec pack the original installer used... any thoughts?

Can't log on to Windows XP
by Guest Reason4- 4 replies
- 194 views
I have exactly (I mean exactly!) the same problem as was recently posted by JCook. The system will boot up but won't allow logon -- it just goes into a start up/shut down loop. The same thing happens in Safe Mode except that both the Administrator and normal user logon icons are presented. I am running XP Professional on a Dell Dimension 4600 that is about almost 5 years old. Malke, I just tried your recommendation about trying to boot to the last known good configuration -- no dice. I just get the same logon loop. I am working from my laptop now because, of course, I can't access the desktop right now. Any and all help will be appreciated!!

Pop Quiz Hotshot

You have just installed an old application called MyApp on a Windows XP workstation while logged in as a local Administrator and found that the program ran correctly. However, after a Year 7 student logs on they are unable to start the program, and receive the error message “Unable to update MyApp.ini”. What is the most likely reason for this? a) The local hard disk partition is formatted as NTFS and Year 7 students do not have sufficient access to the fileserver. b) The local hard disk partition is formatted as NTFS and Year 7 students do not have sufficient access to the MyApp application folder. c) The local hard disk partition is formatted as…

Anyone know what's happened to the On Folio add-on? When I go to the site I'm told it will be available in a few minutes. This goes on for days! People ask the same question on Windows Gallery, but no one replies. -- Dencandy (Mr Virtuality)

Hi -- I have a new laptop running XP2 SP3. I set the power management option for the screen to blink off after 1 minute, and most of the time nothing happens. Occasionally, it will go dark, as commanded, but even then the screen blinks back on to stay after 1 minute. Totally maddening. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help. -- David

An MS moment: can my system be moved from HD to HD?
by Guest Need a miracle- 8 replies
- 276 views
Hi: I recently averted disaster when the hard drive containing my operating system got sizzled in a power surge. Thanks to Testdisk, it is up and running again. But ... I don't trust the drive any more. There are two other HD storage devices on the computer --- a 435 GB RAID 0 system with a barebones sytem on it (thank God I avoided Microsoft's advice about dual operating systems) and another 250GB ATA hard drive. The one that crashed is a 70GB Western Digital deserving of retirement. So, understanding that this is Microsoft, is there a relatively painless way of transfering the system -- with its four years' worth of installations and settings -- …

I am very frustrated. I've been trying to get onto one website which I've always been able to do and for the last week or so I keep getting this message. I have IE 7 and windows xp and everything is up to date. I run McAfee security suite. I have tried everything on the solutions page except for setting the computer back to the way it was when I bought it. I would rather not do that. I have tried deleting sp 3 and that hasn't helped. I've also tried deleting a couple of the security updates for IE and that hasn't helped. Should I be deleting IE 7 and going back to IE 6? I'm really needing to get onto that site. It is just the one site. I can get…

SFC looking for CD in wrong place?
by Guest Kenny- 4 replies
- 210 views
Using XP Pro/SP3. Had this before but can't remember how to get round it. Trying to run SFC it looks for XP CD but can't find it. Tried original XP, XP/SP1, XP/SP2, and XP/SP3 discs. My optical drives are Y & Z and I remember previously changing something so SFC will look for the disc in one of these rather than D. Can someone please tell me how to do this. -- Kenny Cargill

Unwanted sounds
by Guest JohnG- 2 replies
- 216 views
I have Windows XP SP3 on a basic Intel core2 duo system and have sounds that I can't turn off. Whenever I scroll up and down through a window, regardless of the application, I get a small background noise through my speakers, like a chirping or squeeking. This also happens when I drag a Window around the screen, although at a different frequency and sounds more like shuffling a deck of cards. This happens whether I scroll with the mouse or the keyboard (both USB). I have ALL sounds turned off through Control Panel, so there shouldn't be any sounds at all. I have tried bypassing the USB hub and pluged the mouse directly into the PC, but that made no di…
