Mouse jumping problem
by Guest Antares 531- 9 replies
- 506 views
About a year ago I built a new Windows XP Pro SP3 desktop computer using a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L/S3L motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I installed a matched pair of 1GB DDR memory sticks and a Western Digital Caviar SATA 300 hard drive with a capacity of 500GB. I used my old Logitech TrackMan Marble FX mouse and my old Microsoft Natural Keyboard. These both connect via the conventional PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports on the motherboard. That is, I'm not using a USB mouse and keyboard. This computer has worked very well except for one problem. The mouse pointer won't always stay where I've put it. From time to time it will go zipping across the sc…

Problems with ActiveX Control - Snapshot Viewer
by Guest dch3- 0 replies
- 220 views
Can someone please explain to me why after installing SnapShot Viewer Access periodically craps out when I use it as an ActiveX Control? I suspect that its a Windows issue as I just recently started having problems on my new Dell laptop - Windows XP SP3. My only workaround is to delete the key from the registry and reinstall it. It works for a while and then craps out. Basically, its used as an ActiveX control on an Access form. For awhile it works, and then it craps out ("Access doesn't support this ActiveX control.") when I try to add a new control. The existing control is simply blank although the class name and what not appears to be correct.

Ms Baseline Security Analyzer
by Guest philo- 3 replies
- 317 views
I recently installed version 2.1 of the Security Analyzer to check my XP_sp3 machine for security issues and got a few minor issues corrected. For whatever reason, whenever an update has come out... The update has failed when I allow it to install automatically. With the Security Analyzer I can at least see what's missing, download the update manually, and install it with no problems. Though I am not sure why I can no longer install updates automatically... at least there is a good work around for anyone else having a similar problem. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/cc184924.aspx Though it's designed for the I.T. professional, even …

Is there a way to stop the Desktop Cleanup Wizard bubble from ever popping up again for our end users? The desktop properties tab that contains that is disabled due to group policy and I'd hate to undo that if not necessary. Thanks.

Transfering user settings
by Guest Stevoisiak@hotmail.com- 5 replies
- 376 views
Hello. Usually, I have no problems with figuring out how do things on the PC (except getting it to actually work WELL compared to mac :D) But I have a problem. I started using the computer on the default admin name. Now however, I'd like to add a regular user for other people, but it wont let me since there are no admin accounts. (Well, except the one titled ADMINISTRATOR, but who cares about that) I need to make a new admin account. But, I'd like to transfer the settings from the Admin account I'm using now. How can I do this? Would copying and pasting the user setings folder work? Or is there some hidden feature I'm unaware of?

Hard Drives Won't Enter Sleep Mode
by Guest Scrivener- 2 replies
- 266 views
I have a tower running WinXP Pro with two hard drives: the first is running the OS and programs; the second I use as network storage over my wireless home network. I recently upgraded the network drive from 120 gigs to 500 gigs. Since doing so, the 500 never goes into sleep mode, as the 120 used to after 10 minutes; the 500 just keeps spinning away. I've reset the power program under properties on the desktop with no success. Any suggestions? Thank you, Ernie

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Issue
by Guest Jason Schoppert- 6 replies
- 332 views
Hello Everyone: I got one that someone in here that may be able to answer real quick. I was given a laptop to clean some viruses and spyware off of, but someone else already had been in it and made things a lot worse for me. Anyways, I was able to get all the viruses and spyware off, but I was having a problem with the "Plug and Play" service hanging the taskbar on boot as well as locking up on shutdown. After messing around in msconfig for a while I was able to narrow it down to the "Plug and Play" service and disabled it. Unfortunately I did not realize that it would shut down the ethernet adapters and "BITS" as well as a few other things. So I…

Wrong Product Key (COA)
by Guest gman127- 9 replies
- 433 views
I have a unique question/problem. I have 7 home-built pc's all running different hardware with Win XP Home (OEM) installed in each. I need a magnifier to read the COA stickers, so I took the liberty of writing the product keys on the cd case for each machine. The kids are always messing something up, so fresh installs are common around here. During a reinstall on pc1, I inadvertantly used the wrong product key (COA), and it was activated over the net before I knew there was a problem. I discovered the mistake after reinstalling XP on pc2 using the same product key. PC2 is the correct machine for that key. I found the cd case for pc1 under a pile of m…
