UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error
by Guest amber- 3 replies
- 213 views
Hello, I have an XP Pro PC that comes up with an UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error every time I try to start it up. Same in safe mode. I read the Microsoft instructions on this, and tried to run a chkdsk /r - but after 34%, got the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error again. Is there anything else anyone can suggest I try before ordering a new UDMA cable? Thanks! Amber

Re: Large Hard Drives Twanny, http://biosagentplus.com/?PHPSESSID=pl3d2de210ir8mav7k8tr8e2s2 This place wants to sell you the whole chip (hard to repalce if soldered in for those that are not technicians) At any rate I got the binary from them with s/w that also installs and backups your old file. I had already used my own method to backup the file which I am glad I did. http://www.esupport.com I did the boot from floppy flash and my PC would no longer go into post. I had to unsolder my eprom, installed a socket, use the UV eprom eraser at my job and I manually put my old file back on in the prgrammer at work. http://www.esupport.com never did make t…

Synchronize not working
by Guest Ken G.- 0 replies
- 119 views
I've tried to set up file synchronizing between my desktop (XP pro) and my laptop (MCE) on a home wireless network. As far as I can see I've done it correctly and when I log on and log off and both computers are on it shows the sync window and says it was successful but when I check the folders on each computer new files haven't been added and existing ones are not updated. The same happens if I do a manual sync from either computer. What am I doing wrong?

What is a fully Unicode font?
by Guest Afshar Mohebbi- 2 replies
- 179 views
Dear Friends, I'm wondering what it means when someone claim that a font is fully Unicode compatible or "This font supports Unicode"? Does it mean the font has glyph for all Unicode characters like ArialUni.TTF? I'm working with a series of Persian(Farsi) fonts and I'm getting very confused. Please Help me!!

RE: ramdrive
by Guest prberg2- 1 reply
- 156 views
RE: ramdrive I was also interested in setting up a ramdrive. Not to increase the performance but to allow the hard drive to spin down and save power. I have a laptop with XP and want to just run one small application. Is there a way in Windows to create a ram drive, put that app on the ram drive and keep windows from accessing the hard drive so it can spin down? I see so many other ramdrive applications but it makes me nervous to install software from someone I don't know. If Microsoft had a solution that would be better. thank so much! -Peter

System Tray on Taskbar
by Guest trvlnmny- 5 replies
- 261 views
When XP started I always say some icons in the system tray portion of the taskbar. Particularly Norton Ghost, Norton Internet Security and a couple of others. I no longer see these. The system tray is empty. I do not know what changed this. I am not absolving myself as it is possible I did something but I do not know what. My real concern is that these programs are not running. Is that possible? How do I correct this? Thanks for any and all advice.

Hi, I have an HP Pavilion a820n, which has a mother board: Motherboard manufacturer's name: ASUS PTGD1-LA HP/Compaq name: Goldfish-GL8E OS: Windows XP home. CPU:3.20 GHz, Intel Pentium 4 HT processors Memory: 2.5 G I would like to replace the on-board video. The strang thing is that even though I set video to PCI from on-board, the on-board video output still has signal out. The video card, on the other hand, has not signal out. I had test that video card on other machine. BTW, I first uninstall the video display driver first before I change the BIOS setttings. Anyone can help me out? Thanks in advance

Vista: desktop shortcuts will not delete help please :)
by Guest fend- 4 replies

Hi, hoping this is in the right catagory, ok, when a program puts a shortcut on the desktop, if I go to delete it by right clicking or even just highlighting & hitting delete on the keyboard the computer just stops responding, get a message saying 'windows explorer has stopped working' & that it is trying to find a solution which it doesnt, just goes blank then comes back to desktop like its reloading. (if I put something on the desktop I can delete it, just seems to be shortcuts, even ones I have put on) hope you can understand what I am saying & that you are able to help. Thanks -- F.E.N.D
