Change folder options to show number of files in a folder
by Guest KekoaKonane- 2 replies
- 161 views
I've searched and searched and can't find anything that comes near to what I'm looking for, it's a very simple problem, I've even changed it before but can't for the life of me remember how I did it. Specifially I'm trying to find out what to change to show the amount of files in a folder. For instance, the recycle bin would show 4.0 Gigs if I'd been on a deleting rampage. Or one of my folders might show that I have 554 files in that folder. I can't find help on this and it's very simple I know. I would appreciate anyone's help with this. Thank you!

I am using Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Technical Support has been helping me with my computer. I have been able to send them my Windows Update Log file and my system.nfo file but Microsoft also requested a copy of my registry. When I try and attach the copy of my backup.reg file the Internet resets itself and will not let me attach the registry. Is there any way around this limitation? Finally, I wanted to say that I am really glad the Microsoft-hosted newsgroups have so many thoughtful people.

digital signature does not validate or is not present
by Guest Gordie- 2 replies

I'm fighting a pesky error, that I believe is in XP. System is XP Pro SP3 with all updates. Office 2003 suite is currently installed. I have a retail boxed CD of Office 2007 Home and Student. The first thing that appears when it is loaded is a message: "D:\HomeStudentr.WW\OSETUP.DLL digital signature does not validate or is not present." Click OK and nothing more is done/seen. There are many reports of this problem in the Office 2007 sites, most replies focus on the CD. It is NOT the CD. It works fine on another computer, also I get the same error with this computer and another CD of Office 2007 HSE. It is not the CD reader either. Following some sug…

XP Always Out of Memory
by Guest JSoul Rocks- 13 replies
- 388 views
Here's a strange problem I have. My laptop has 2GB of RAM in it, plenty to run XP. It's a Dell XPS m1210. Especially after waking up after sleep (as well as not), it seems to have "out of memory" issues even though there isn't much open and Windows Task Manager says there is plenty of available RAM. What will happen is that if I have 3 tabs open in IE, for example, if I click on a link to open another window there is a blink and nothing happens. Try to open a folder and either nothing will happen or a new window will open but white and blank. Try to right click on a menu item and either no menu disappears or you'll be missing a lot of the right click menu items n…

I have Windows XP Sp2. I have had this HP computer since new with Windows XP installed. Under my local disk (C:) in the WINDOWS>1386>Compdata file I have more than 100 approx. 1kb folders with a text telling me that; " The currently installed driver for the xxxxx is not compatible with this version of Microsoft Windows.......etc. It is recommended that you uninstall this software before continuing.......etc" The text although similar varies in these folders basically indicating that the driver it refers to is incompatible. As far as I can see I don't have the drivers in my computer and have never had them. I certainly did not install them. Would …

Wondering if someone could help me? My computer re-booted itself and when it came back on it said "Your computer is infected" there's a red ball with an X in the middle on my task bar.

Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you. Click here to protect your computer from spyware!
