ACPI Load Problem After Mobo Change
by Guest Paputxi- 4 replies
- 196 views
I had to replace my old MSI motherboard with Intel CPU (it died) with a new one; totally different from other one (ASUS) and AMD CPU. I am able to boot into Safe Mode, but it won't boot into Normal Mode. Looking at the boot log, everything looks fine until it says "Did not load driver ACPI Multiprocessor PC" followed by other "did not load" messages. I see where other people say to do a repair install of XP. But since it boots into Safe Mode, doing a repair install seems awful drastic in this situation. Does anyone know how to correct this problem without doing a repair install? Thanks in advance.

dll has not been registered

A friend's dell laptop with xp home wasn't booting up. There was a corrupted hive file and config file, which were "fixed" using recovery console. Now xp will boot up, but he first error message is: "Wireless Configuration: Notification dll has not been registered, program will not work correctly." If you click ok, you can enter xp, but any program you try to start returns error message: "Problem with Shortcut: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." So, it appears that after fixing Hive and config, the computer doesn't recognize any of the programs. Suggestions??

stop Annoying Yellow Popups
by Guest tommy- 4 replies
- 203 views
I posted this question previously but believe I found the cause of those annoying yellow popup information balloons. When an abject has an " alt = " tag on it, when the mouse moves over the object an annoying yellow window pops up displaying whatever text follows. I believe in the past most people programming just left this blank, but now more and more things have them. For instance, go to http://www.msn.com and on the top left the little envelope icon next to "Hotmail" pops up the word "Envelope", now move the mouse to the MSN Directory icon and "Figure of an arrow pointing to screen" - come on , is this really neccesary ???? How can Windows be config…

by Guest John- 3 replies

As the administrator I have an Internet Explorer icon on my screen and in the Quick Launch bar. However, my wife has her own log on profile and she doesn't have an icon. I have had to put a couple of shortcuts on her desktop to enable her to open Explorer. I have read about fixes in the registry - about setting a particular value to "0" and have checked that this is the case - but still no icon on my wife's desktop. any other suggestions?

I installed the update on the 8th, uninstalled it on the 9th, hid it on the 9th, but Windows Update history still shows it as installed on the 8th, with no hidden updates.

Running XP home. Something got into my computer that was redirecting me to sites such as pcprivacycleaner.com and others. My McAffee wasn't finding it. Ran registry mechanic and several other programs. I decided to download all XP updates, including SP2, and updated to latest internet explorer. The downloads and installation completed. Since doing that, when my sys boots it gets as far as loading the desktop background but thats it. I get no desktop icons, no start button, no task bar, no office shortcuts bar... even McAffee doesn't seem to be starting. If i boot into SAFE mode i see all the icons and task bar and start button and can surf the net with …

folder options
by Guest Rouke- 2 replies
- 175 views
Except for in the control panel, I would like the "Folders" always to be displayed in the left hand panel and "Details" in the right hand panel of any explorer window. I've set these and then selected "Apply to all folders" in "Tools-Folder Options-View" and have also checked "Remember each folder's view settings", but each time I open an explorer the view is reset to display "Icons" only. My computer is part of a large organization's network, and I have contacted the system administrator, who has been aware of the problem for years, but is unable to fix it. I wonder if someone in this newsgroup is able to shed some light on this problem
