OK - IE 7 downloaders

From what has been posted here, its dangerous to even attempt to ask this question ... but with all the links posted, not one gives a direct link to immediate support...(ducking). I'm not in for insults, please. Just direct me...I cannot drag a URL link to my OE "Links" anymore with IE7 -- as I did with IE 6, at least not the same way (yes! I've looked, used HELP, used SUPPORT... Bye.

Chkdsk Crash
by Guest DanoWeir@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 167 views
I know this is a common problem, but I'm having trouble with the usual solution, so I'm asking for help. Like many people's comp's, when I boot up, Chkdsk automatically engages to check my C: for 'inconsistencies', and then freezes in 'Stage 2 of 5' at 25%. Thus, the only way to get to windows is to skip Chkdsk. I know from a previous comp however, that this is an excellent way to completely corrupt your hard drive. I've been cruising the message boards looking for a solution, and everyone seems to suggest running Chkdsk from the cmd prompt in Safe Mode. Unfortunately, I can't get to safe mode. I can get to the menu during boot (by pressing F8) which a…

[Solved] USB Memory stick don't read after SP3 with outdated Kaspersky
by Guest ToddAndMargo- 2 replies
- 175 views
Hi All, I am writing this to salt into the archives so as to help someone else. (This does not mean I am a nice guy!) If you just installed XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) and noticed that your USB Memory/thumb drives no longer work (but do work everywhere else) and you are running an older version of Kaspersky Open Space Security (their corporate product), then upgrade to the lastest Kaspersky and you will get your USB drives back after you reboot. Kaspersky downloads: http://www.kaspersky.com/productupdates My old version was kav6.0.2.678_winwksen.exe; my upgraded version was kav6.0.3.837_winwksen.exe Hope this helps someone else, -T

- 120 views
Hi, After installing Windows XP SP3, Synchtoy 1.4 repeatedly crashes when started with the ususal "SynchToy.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close ..." So I send a report hoping to get some feedback but nothing. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall it and still encounter the same problem. there is absolutely no way to start it without the above error message. Help !!! NOTE: Just an FYI: The same problem seems to happen with Microsoft Word 2003 and it will only open in safe mode. The problem is solved by renaming the 'normal.dot' file and then performing a 'detect and repair'. Unrelated to this problem but I was wondering if there is a s…

windows backup query
by Guest k0103707- 5 replies
- 115 views
Hi, I'm just wondering about windows backup. Is it possible to backup without having to compress, if so how? If not, could you direct me in the right direction. All i need is a program that will backup specific folders, that does one main backup and then adds to the exact same backup i.e. doesn't add any new folders, since it gets confusing with so many different folders to find what you’re looking for. I don't want to compress it, so i can have direct access to the content that's on the server. The only option that seems to do what i want is to backup the whole thing at once, which takes up a lot of time to do this every time you backup... …

I am trying to add a new user on the local workstation (not domain user) with net user. I'm able to create the user fine with the following command: net user localuser {password} /add /expires:never /passwordchg:no It places the user into the "users" account. Is there a way I can speficy it to go to the powerusers group instead? If I need a separate batch file to do, that's fine. I was wondering if the net localgroup would work or if that is only for domain groups and users. Thanks.

I bought a new pc for my work which has all the bells and whistles. Of course the kids want access to the pc so that they can play the latest games. I prefer not to install any games on the pc. I have a couple of licenses for both Vista Ultimate and XP Pro. Is there any way to install either Vista or XP on a USB drive and install their games on that. When they want to play, they can just boot their drive off USB, making use of the hardware on my pc?
