XP Freezes
by Guest jp2msft- 2 replies
- 175 views
We reformatted my machine here at work about 2 months ago to gain some performance. DELL Optiplex GX620, 250 GB HDD, 3.4 GHz P4, 1.5 GB RAM Windows XP Professional, Service Packed with SP3 Periodically throughout the day, my PC now hangs (locks up, freezes, whatever you want to call it) for about 30 seconds. Very Irritating! I have run numerous RAM checking programs, and my RAM seems fine. After some time, my PC always releases control back to me. We have corporate TrendMicro antivirus, but if it is causing this problem - well, it did not cause it before I did the hard drive format. How do I figure out what is causing this?

NTBackup and multiple tapes
by Guest Jack B. Pollack- 2 replies
- 169 views
I want to be able to give one of my elderly clients a simple one-button backup icon using NTBackup. He is backing up to tape. I want him to rotate through several tapes before returning to the first. I am using a shortcut with command line: ntbackup backup "@C:\Backup Jobs\Selective.bks" /j "Selective Backup Job" /t "Selective BU" /n "Selective BU" If the tapes have different names (eg "Selective BU 1", "Selective BU2") NTBackup sits there waiting for a specific tape to be mounted. I want all the tapes to be used interchangeable. If I name all of the tapes with the same name I get a message when running my shortcut that multiple tapes have the same name. …

Want to downgrade my inspiron 1525 to XP pro
by Guest Liza- 5 replies

Hello, I'm new to this community... I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post this. Anyway, I want to downgrade my Inspiron 1525 Vista Home Basic to XP Pro. I have the XP CD with product key, and I've downloaded all the drivers off the Dell website. But I'm a bit confused on what to do after downloading all the drivers. I've also read in a few forums that I would need to change the SATA ACHI to ATA, is that correct? Is it possible to downgrade? I've only had this computer for two months, and some of my Job's applications/software don't work with vista... so I need XP. I've called Dell support and they didn't want to help me. I also understan…

Disabled registry due to new, undetected trojans
by Guest Mike S.- 3 replies
- 187 views
I recently had my computer infected with four trojans due to them being new and undetected by the majority of anti-virus programs. So I submitted them to AVG who confirmed they were trojans and updated their virus definitions. This removed the four trojans from my computer. However, I still have problems that need to be fixed. One of which is a disabled registry. Here's what needs fixing (from my HijackThis log): F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=explorer.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files \System\svchost.exe" O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5277E001-1190-3001-0699-ca3230262a11} - C: \Program Files\Common Files\System\wship_help.acm (file missing) O7 - HKCU\Software\Micr…

Macro to change mp3 file names
by Guest RonG- 12 replies
- 398 views
I'm running Windows XP Home. On one of my hard drives I have accumulated 10,000+ mps files which I have named (numbered) 0001 to 9999. I want to change all the files by adding a 0 before the existing name (i.e. 00001 to 09999). Can a macro be written to simplify this task, or do I have to tediously alter each file individually? Any help or tips gladly appreciated. -- Ron Perth Western Australia

Stuck booting into Safe Mode CLI
by Guest pford-@bcm.tmc.edu- 4 replies
- 217 views
Hello, My son's game computer running Windows XP Home edition got some nasty MalWare on it that has changed the protection of some files and folders and altered privileges that prevents me or the antiMalWare appls from deleting them. I had a terrible time getting safe mode to come up so I could log in as the administrator. At that point, it came up as a command line interface – and that is where I am stuck. It now always boots into the safe mode command line. When I get the screen to come up that gives me options for booting, like safe mode, safe mode CLI, last known good profile, etc., it still boots as safe mode CLI. How do I fix this? Also, it looks like…
