MODI file associations reset after windows updates
by Guest news.optonline.com- 3 replies
- 201 views
After I install Windows monthly updates, the file associations for TIFF is reset from Microsoft Document Imaging (MODI) application to the Windows Picture and Fax viewer. In an office of 100 people without permissions to change associations, the manual fix of clicking on the reset button within MODI is not acceptable. Is there a fix for this ? I've been finding posts from people that are having the same problem. Has Microsoft released any information on this issue ? Thanks Nick

Hey folks, I'm in serious need of help! I was trying to record my gameplay of games, from the xbox360 to my pc. I can manage to do so, but 60 hz is black and white, but that's not the issue i need help on. So, i asked someone what to do, he said i should download my graphic drivers and install them. (Somehow i didn't yet, but everything else worked fine). So i downloaded my graphic driver (Nvidia GeForce 5200 FX) and installed it. So now when i want to boot my computer, then it comes to the loading screen, ((he black one with the windows logo and blue bar)) and blue screens. It keeps doing that every time i wanna boot it. And i don't want to format it cause i…

White boxes arround icons?
by Guest Xantipas- 1 reply
- 152 views
My machine decided,on it's own, to encase "some" of my program icons in a "white box" instead of melding it into the blue background of my desktop. I have been able to change a few back by re-choosing the icon symbol in Properties BUT many of the icons cannot be chosen to change them. Any ideas as to how I can change all of them? Thanks Xen

Cannot access some websites after virus cleaning
by Guest Alex- 7 replies

Hi, I experience huge issues with my laptop since I was infected by Virtumonde earlier this week. I managed to clean Virtumonde by using spybot, but even though the virus seems to have disappeared, I still experience huge problems with Internet browsing. I can access some websites like Lenovo, FreeCall, Free, my router, my bank, but I cannot access other websites such as http://www.lemonde.fr, linkedin, facebook, oanda, smartmoney... that's weird, that seem that a pipe is blocked or something filtering the DNS, only allowing some sites... but ping and resolving is OK! I tried flushing DNS to no avail, I have cleared all my caches and temp fi…

this file came from another computer and might be blocked
by Guest raybat- 3 replies

I downloaded a an Oracle database driver so I could move some data into our SQL Server but I could not open the file. Error: "this file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" Thanks Mickey! I found the answer on Google that describes how to fix the problem but there is probably still code running out there that needs to be destroyed. You need to run gpedit.msc and change a setting under Administrative Templates. Check Google for the specifics. I am trying to find out which Microsoft update did this to my computer and remove it. I will probably need to restore to a check point but this would be much eas…

Easily access "favorite" folders in Windows Explorer?
by Guest Rick- 3 replies
- 185 views
There are a lot of folders on my hard drive and network that I would like super-quick access to when in Windows Explorer rather than endless drilling-down to subfolders and different drives. I've been playing around with different ways to do this. I wish Windows Explorer automatically displayed a menu of your "frequently-used folders" the way the File menu of Windows apps displays your most frequently-used files. Is there some Windows Explorer add-on (not likely!) that would allow this? Or ... how do other folks do this? Another thought: I wish the Favorites menu in Windows Explorer could be kept distinct from the Favorites menu of Internet Explorer…

Microsoft Charging $90 for .NET Undermines Huge Market Compelling The Use of Linux! [2] Anybody with eyes sight can see "digital signage" emerging as a "display device platform" and a HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR DEVELOPERS as the display device platform emerges and people understand the many many opportunities now available to them. Typical current digital signage implementations utilize larger LCD displays with project costs in the many thousands of dollars. Who can argue with the facts as anybody can observe?

Slow CopyProfileDirectoryEx Function over WAN
by Guest RichR- 1 reply
- 134 views
I have spent the last 2 days carrying out performance testing in an attempt to understand why it can take a long time (over 2 minutes) to logon and logoff our corporate XP build. I have created 29 different scenarios using a combination of profile server location, machine location, quantity of files in profile, and quantity of folders in profile, and enabled userenv logging. The results quite clearly show that if the profile server is across a WAN link then increasing the number of folders in the profile results in a significant increase in logon and logoff times. Looking at the userenv.log it is also clear that the problem firmly and repeatedly lies with …

Save htm file - rename later, corrupts display
by Guest - Bobb -- 2 replies

I did a Google search but couldn't get "right keywords" to find appropriate answer. If not a quick answer, maybe just a URL/pointer. I run into this occasionally and curious why it happens / how to correct: Background - setup: While online I save a webpage to my Pc as htm, so it saves 2 files "XYZ.htm" file and a " XYZ_files ". Later on, (like today) I notice the god-awfully long filename and want to change it. Here's the filename: " HP Pavilion dv2000-dv6000-dv9000 and Compaq Presario v3000-v6000 Series Notebook PCs - HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement.htm" and if I open it first - it looks fine - page is displayed just as it was when I was at HP w…

I am attepting to fix a friends Dell Laptop which is running Windows XP (not SP2 AFAIK) the intial problem is that running any program IE, Notepad, Works etc. results in the '... has encountered a problem and needs to close' dialogue. I have tried various things, safe mode etc. with no effect (I can not do much as nothing runs!) and have now reinstalled XP. I now get the same dialogue for Apoint.exe on booting up, however attampting to run any program now simply results in a brief change of the mouse cursor to an hourglass, for maybe 1 to 2 seconds. As I can not run ***anything*** I am at a loss as to how to proceed, any ideas? Guy
