I just installed Windows XP Pro upgade on a Dell Inspiron B130. With about 19 minutes left in the installation, the following errors came up: bluhill.jp_ sunset.jp_ waterlil.jp_ winter.jp_ beethov9.wm_ newstrys.wm_ When these came up, I had the option to retry or cancel. If I retried, the problem would come back up again, so I elected to cancel. Now Internet Explorer isn't working properly. If I try to go home, another screen will try to open up and then locks up the computer. If I try to open a favorite, another screen will try to open and then locks up the computer. The only way I can close those screens is through the Task Master. It appear that I…

Does anyone know why offline files would be enabled automatically at random times for random users?

When playing the game on ijji.com called Mahjong Blocks, I get an error at the end of every game I try to play. The error says: [Title] GMahjong: GMAHJONG.exe - Application Error [Message] The instruction at "0x5ad71531" referenced memory at "0x00000014". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program. It is then followed by another error saying the same thing only with numbers 0x43753a1a and 0x00000148 instead. Please help me. I've been trying to fix this problem for days! I've reinstalled and uninstalled everything dozens of times and the same thing keeps happening. Thanks in advance for your help.

Strange Monitor Problem
by Guest blueman- 4 replies

I just finished setting up and installing programs in a new PC running windows XP. Something must have happened and the monitor screen went black. If I try to hit "reset" I can nothing seems to happen. I think the computer shuts down and restarts but the screen remains black The only way I can get the monitor to work (if it is the monitor) is to unplug the PC (when the screen is blank) and plug it back in. Once I have a screen and shut down normally using the start menu, the next time I try to start it up I get nothing but a black screen. I can't even tell if the PC is booting up or getting past the cmos boot up as the screen is black. I have tried a different…

Dear Sirs, Yesterday, some thunderboomers and heavy duty lightning came thru early evening, and the juice kicked off and back on before I could get this rig shutdown, and it restarted her improperly, and the auto Chkdsk ran, but I didn't get to read what it offered me to do when it found errors, which it did, I got sidetracked with the aerial bombardment. On the root of my hard drive containing Windows XP, there is now a File Folder, named FOUND.000 It's 4.03 MB and holds 123 files, of Recovered File Fragments, named (FILE0000.CHK 24.0 KB, Yesterday, July 20, 2008, 8:41:18 PM to FILE0122.CHK 156 KB, Yesterday, July 20, 2008, 8:41:18 PM).

Changing settings when logging on as Administrator?
by Guest Pheasant Plucker®- 0 replies
- 121 views
Hi there, When I initially setup 10 laptops I created a user called Admin that has full admin rights in addition to the individual user account and two extra Power Profiles to suit our Technicians way of working. This works well with the advantage that the user can't override the power settings that seem locked by default. So far so good... However when I took a look at some of the laptops the other day I logged on as Admin briefly and also as the default Administrator to check the password on both accounts. Upon logging off (and leaving site) I got a call from a couple of Techs who, after the machine comes out of standby now have to input their passw…
