I have a Sager 5750 that has an Elantech touch pad, I have tried Elantech website, but support is not available in English. Sager claims it is a conflict with Xp, Removed mouse driver completely, through safed mod and regular. XP installed ps/2 driver, then installed ELantech driver, still does not work.

System Restore registry key missing
by Guest Vickie- 15 replies
- 399 views
Two days ago I had read it was a good idea to occassionally run an online antivirus scan sort of as a second opinion to one you run installed on your computer so I ran the Kaspersky Online Scan which said it found three items. (Norton is installed on the machine and found nothing.) I sent three files to Kaspersky to evaluate and in the meanwhile I disabled and then enabled System Restore again. A restore point was created at that time by itself. After the fact I received an email from Kaspersky apologizing but it was a false result. Great. Now I lost all my previous restore points and it has not created a System Checkpoint since I enabled it again. I …

XP Installation Media
by Guest mcp6453- 5 replies
- 218 views
Recently I purchased a used Lenovo 8189 computer. It has the requisite XP license sticker on the side. The hard drive was wiped clean, including the restoration partition. I need XP media to install the operating system. The key on the label does not work with my VLK version, and it does not work with my retail version. There must be some version of installation media that will allow me to reinstall a fully legal and licensed copy of XP on this machine. Two of my wholesalers have said that any XP disk will work, but that's incorrect, as I have demonstrated today. Restoration CDs are no longer available from Lenovo. The only disks that they are making av…

Router problems Linksys
by Guest giddyup- 7 replies
- 247 views
I have a 8 port Linksys router that works fine with three existing computers. I decided to add a fourth which was a new Dell with Windows XP home. This computer is accessible through the shared folders on the networks but can not access the internet unless you unplug the router and plug it back in. This works without fail until you get off the internet and try to get back on. Then you have to unplug again. This router is located approximately 60 feet away and requires stair climbing to access router which tires me out. 1. Computer is accessible through shared folder without unplugging router. 2. Have tried different jacks on router, same results. 4.…

I'm running XP Media Center Ed. circa 2002 on an HP Pavillion, if that matters. I'm afraid I can only describe my problems symptomatically, as I don't have any technical knowledge on software. My computer was fine, but a few days ago I booted it up only to have it "loading personal settings" for a long time. It eventually logged me in, but I found that my desktop picture (and all other personal settings) were gone and my desktop was cluttered with, not my files, but Vongo, AOL free trial, and a slew of other icons, possibly the same ones the computer started with, but I'm not sure. What's weirder is that clicking "My Documents" only had My Pictures, Vid…

Running SLOW 1 2
by Guest Doug- 27 replies
- 722 views
This might not be the place to ask. My computer started running real slow. When I open the task manager the CPU is running 100% all the time. When I look at the processes it shows explorer.exe running about 98% and nothing else is running over 3%. What could be causing the CPU to run so high? I have restarted the computer and the same thing happens. I have not add any hardware or software.

XP keeps recreating user profile!
by Guest giancarlo.fazi@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 106 views
Hi, does anyone know why on certain PC XP sometime keeps recreating the user profile? I mean, a user executes the logon and his current profile is ignored, a new profile is created and obviously all his data disappears! It happens randomly and not so sporadically (I have a user on whom pc it happened 2 times in 3 weeks!) I exclude it depends on "roaming profile" because we dont use roaming profiles ;-) We have a Windows 2000 domain. Any idea? Thanks in advance

MS Word anti virus

Whenever MS Word opens on my pc (WinXPpro and MSOffice pro) it runs a 'virus search', even when I open my pc with my anti-virus software not open! Is there any way to turn this off? I haven't noticed such an event on any other computer I've worked at ,so I don't even know where this feature came from. Thanks, Richard -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/windowsxp/200806/1

Function keys disabled - all apps
by Guest FubarFkeys- 2 replies

Where or how in XP do I get back control of my Function keys? Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard appears to have disabled my function keys in all applications. Example F2 don't edit in Excel, F3 won't "find next" in adobe reader. etc, etc. I removed the Intellipoint program that gives advanced keybaord control. That did not fix it. Suggestion please.
