I need to transfer files from a computer with XP Home to one with XP Pro, avoiding the catastrophe I suffered last time I did it. I try to Copy and Paste and instead (what I didn't notice last time) Windows instead creates a shortcut, which is not a lot of use as a backup!

INVOLUNTARY CLOSING OF MULTIPLE WINDOWS
by Guest jdoug6- 2 replies
- 159 views
Until today, I could close individual windows without it affecting any other open window(s). However, when I now click to close a particular window, all open windows close automatically, forcing me to start over by re-opening the browser. I went to Tools to see if a particular setting had been inadvertently changed, but lack sufficient knowledge to know what to look for. Please advise! Thanks.

Hi everybody, It seems that I cannot reinstall a particular program, Google Earth. I could not obtain a solution on the Google Earth forums, Whilst on this NG, I always get good advice. My PC, XP-SP2, is pretty stable and well maintained. Here is my problem : I tried to install the new Google Earth V 4.3., but things didn't go well. As a result, The previous version (V 4.2) has been removed (so it seemed at first) but I cannot reinstall it, nor can I install the new version. If I try to reinstall V4.2 I get an error message indicating (in French) something like "the configuration data are corrupted". If I try to install V4.3, then I get the "erro…

Hi All, I'm having serious start up problems with my PC after it tried to install Service Pack 3 for XP. Towards the end of the installation, lots of windows errors came up saying it could not read from memory address xx xx xxx etc... Anyway, whateverI did the errors would not go away so I hard-rebooted the machine. Upon it starting up again, there was no familiar post sound, although it did go through the BIOS screen start and onto the Windows loading screen. But, what what seemed like a long time on the windows screen it went to a screen saying "cannot find autochk installed" ... then went to a Blue Screen of Death for what seemed like a tenth of a…

Screen saver power save settings

Hey I am still having the same problems with my power save settings. I set my monitor to shut off after 5 minutes and sometimes it doesn't work. I thought I had narrowed it down to some programs, but the problem keeps coming back. I got down to 21 processes and it still happened. Could it be the video card drivers? AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ DirectX Version 4.09.00.0904 NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS Driver 6.14.11.7519

Hello Newsgroups, I have redirected the My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos to folders on other discs, and changed their respective names slightly.
