Outlook opening IE links with IE in Classic skin rather than XP theme

I am using a black version of the Royale theme in XP. I have modified it to have thinner titlebars. It works fine, but when I open web links in Outlook, IE opens in Classic theme instead if the XP theme. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? Cheers ss.

Sounds won't work
by Guest Moonbarker Osbourne- 2 replies
- 166 views
In start/settings/contro panel/sounds and audio devices/sounds tab, I only have two sounds selected, a couple of .wav's for start windows and exit windows. For some reason, the sounds won't activate when I start or exit windows even though the same two .wav's work just fine when starting/exiting my browser. Thinking that they're on a USB powered external HD may have something to do with it, I tried copying them to a folder I created for them on the main C:\ drive and told start/settings/contro panel/sounds and audio devices/sounds tab to look for 'em there (without telling my browser to do the same), but that didn't work. Advice please?

My mother in law's computer wouldn't boot windows xp so I took a look at it and finally I reinstalled windows xp. Well it was working fine until I went and started downloading updates like service pack 2. Well when it needed to restart to finish the updates it took a long time to load windows so I thought I could just delete the updates and now it won't even boot up it says Boot Failure:System Halted. If I put the Windows XP CD in the D drive it will go up to the set up or recovery part question but when I try to recovery or even set up now it says that my disc drive is not installed. What can I do????? Please Help Me

Also the website gave me the Error 0X800A1385 when I tried to check there for whatever automatic updates have been installed recently.

Event viewer problem....
by Guest dba- 1 reply

1. I have attempted several times to change the filters on Event Viewer permanently. I change the filter and then use the apply button but the change does not take. 2. Also, over time, my Event Viewer has picked up some unwanted (categories?) like ACEEventLog, Microsoft Office Diagnostics, Microsoft Office Sessions and Internet Explorer. Can someone tell me how to delete these from "MY" event viewer. Any help will be appreciated.
