Microsoft Money Plus Installation
by Guest holliss- 5 replies
- 212 views
I know this isn't an XP question, but I couldn't find a forum to ask my question regarding Money Plus. I installed the software, and everything seemed to go o.k. When I opened the program I immediately got a message that Money required an update. This is new software mind you, and it already needs an update??? Anyway, I clicked to go ahead an install the required update. All seemed to be going o.k. and when the files indicated they indicated they were 100% finished. Then I immediately got a message informing that the software could not be installed, and to check my internet connection and make sure I had at least 100 mb of disk space available. The …

Can't Logon to Windows XP
by Guest JCook- 2 replies
- 151 views
My mother turned on her computer this morning and instead of coming up like it normally does, the Welcome screen appeared. When she selected her name, it showed "loading your personal settings", then the screen blinked, followed by "saving your settings" and back to the Welcome screen. Click the name again and the same process happens. Tried starting in Safe Mode and it takes you to the Welcome screen. This time the administrator is shown along with her name. Clicking either one of the options produced the same result as above and it doesn't go into safe mode. Any ideas??

- 343 views
Have several shortcuts on the desktop linking to different sites that I want to check on frequently. These have been functional for the past year with no problems. Two days ago, for some unknown reason (no new s/w installed or reconfig'd firewall, etc. ) whenever I click on a shortcut, an error message pops up stating that the URL can't be found. A couple of seconds later, it opens to the web site. Have deleted the links, rebooted, made new ones but the same thing happens. Any ideas as to why this is happening ?? thanks ray

When changing Windows icons, a dialogue box opens : Change Icon / Look for Icons in this file: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll. My question: Is there a registry tweak that can alter this default path to a folder where I keep all saved icons?

XP - Device Disconnect sound for no reason
by Guest Richard Fangnail- 6 replies
- 242 views
I just got my first USB printer and it seems okay. However, after I turn off the printer, everything is normal for 10-15 minutes when suddenly Windows will make the "Device Disconnect" sound for no reason. I thought I would fix this by going to Device Manager and unchecking "Allow Windows to turn off device to save power" on the four root hubs - however, it just now made that sound again. I know how to change or turn off Windows sounds but that's not really the problem. It never did this before I got the USB printer (which is a small HP inkjet).

Max size of a directory
by Guest T. Valko- 8 replies
- 267 views
Hi Folks! From within Excel I generate simple text files (*.txt) and name them in sequence: File1.txt, File2.txt, File3.txt, etc, etc. The average size of one of these files is about 210 bytes. I need to generate "a lot" of these files. Specifically, I need 2622 of these text files. My question is: can I put all 2622 of these files in a single directory? What's the max size of a directory? I haven't tried it yet. If I can do this it will make my life much easier! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP

Brother Printer Ink Cartridge Nearly Empty --- After Only 2 Weeks!!! 1 2
by Guest midwest_46@yahoo.com- 37 replies

I have a Gateway computer with the following: 1) a 1400-MHz Pentium 4 processor, 2) 256 MB of RAM, and 3) 40 GB of hard-drive space. The computer is running Windows Millennium Edition (ME). Two and a half weeks ago, I bought a Brother MFC-240C printer. This is a multifunction device: printer, copier, fax, and scanner. ---------- When I installed the ink cartridges, the machine cleaned the ink tube system. Then I pressed "Color Start" to test the four colors corresponding to the cartridges (black, yellow, cyan, and magenta). The machine printed out the Print Quality Check Sheet. This sheet showed a square pattern in each color. If all small lines were c…

Whenever I try to view files with windows explorer, it is extremely slow (greater than five minutes) to open up and display the contents of the C: drive or "my computer." This is happening with applications as well when they do a search. If I open Word, I can open quickly a document in the default location but once I try to go to a different folder it takes five minutes to find the next drive or folder. Oddly other application don't stop working. It is only when it is looking up a directory. Similarly, if I try to find imaging devices in the control panel it takes about five minutes to find the scanner. I don't know if this is related as other comp…

AVG removed a virus from my neighbor's XP Home laptop. Upon reboot the machine stopped with white text on a dark blue screen saying basidv32 could not be found. Same result in Safe Mode, Safe with no networking and Safe command line. He doesn't have his XP CD. It is at his home far away. I searched the web for references to basidv32 and none were found. What is basidv32? How do I get it? How do I load it on a machine which won't boot?
