System Restore & IE corrupt
by Guest Anna- 7 replies
- 364 views
I have Windows XP and used IE 7. I had to do a system restore on Saturday because the add-ons someone messed up my system and I couldn't visit websites or click using radio buttons. Now IE 7 has disappeared - when i click on the icon my desktop flickers but IE never opens. The strangest thing of all is my System Restore no longer works and that concerns me more than IE not working. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Screen show on extended desktop
by Guest John Favaro- 1 reply
- 213 views
With XP Pro, I extended my desktop onto a second screen. Then I opened PowerPoint, opened a PPT file, and moved it over to the second screen to work on it. At some point I clicked "Screen Show", and the screen show came up on .... the first screen. Why didn't it come up on the second screen, and is there anything I can do to get it onto the second screen? (This actually has practical applications -- I tried to use the extended desktop technique to attach a projector as the second screen - but if I can't get the screen show to appear on the second screen, then, well, forget that idea.) Thanks for any insights, John

I Love Windows
by Guest Frank Parmelee- 8 replies

I have never known what it is to have a boring day - ever. one day things work fine, the next who knows waht happened. For example, the two USB ports on the front of the case worked fine and tehn one day they didn't. A little patience and dilegence goes a long way in troubleshooting. In Device Manager I discovered that the ports in question had no drivers installed. Ok, so push the Update Driver button and al is good again. The question is how can USB ports work one day and not the next? -- FrankO

99.99...% Recovered from Hard Drive Failure?
by Guest Watty- 5 replies
- 313 views
See my other recent posts on my difficulty in getting my system squared away after a drive failure. So far unstoppable copier hasn't quite done, it but I may know why. Possibly I missed a setting. However, I tried the old drive again. The shop had gotten it up once long enough to copy just about everything off of it, so I thought I'd give it a try. It came up but needed to do a chkdsk, which took 10-15 minutes of sorting out orphans and such. It now seems pretty much up and intact. I'm about to make an image copy and save off to an external drive. I may explore unstoppable again, but first to get the image saved. It's been up for 2 hours. My guess is…

removing Google search from system tray
by Guest Jo-Anne- 6 replies
- 379 views
Today a Microsoft tech support person tried to fix a problem I was having with IE7 on my WinXP SP3 notebook. He ended up having me disable just about everything in msconfig, and later he had me check the "normal" startup box there. Some of the system tray icons I had removed a month ago then returned. I've been able to get rid of everything but the Google search box. I unchecked Google Desktop in msconfig Startup, but it's still in the system tray. Is there a way I can remove it? Thank you!

VPN defaults to Modem, not NIC
by Guest AlliedTechAdmin- 0 replies
- 178 views
I'm struggling with setting up a VPN connection on a laptop. For some reason, it wants to default to the modem and not use the nic, even when I'm specifically setting up otherwise. The wizard seems to have a mind of its own. I've also tried it within the internet connection preferences. What should I do next?

Static problem
by Guest AB- 9 replies
- 429 views
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my problem, if not, perhaps someone can direct to a more appropriate one? I've been having a problem with static noise - it comes out of the speakers. If I shut off the speaker, no problem, but that's not a solution. The static occurs frequently, but I can't link it to any screen action. Sometimes I'll be in another room, not having used the computer for an hour, and I'll suddenly hear this horrible loud static noise coming from the PC. It's enough to really scare me! At times the static has been activated by changes to the screen; once or twice it followed keystrokes,sometimes it sounds like a clicking noise, bu…

New Windows operating system and you are now getting a Windows Vista blue screen error. You would have thought there would be no more blue screens of death, but I guess not.

In less than 10 minutes, this software can have your computer up and running, and without errors. No need to worry about how to fix this or what you did, just let the software fix it for you.

Event ID 54 in ousb2hub: Print jobs not clearing
by Guest Terry Preuit- 7 replies
- 351 views
Hello, Finished print jobs are getting stuck in the printer queue, causing subsequent jobs to wait several minutes before they can be sent to the printer. This is a Windows XP SP3 machine, with a new Canon PIXMMA MX700 multifunction printer. Last Friday I had to replace the original HP OfficeJet 7410 AIO because it would no longer feed paper. Other than that, it worked great despite our torture. The owner wanted a different brand, however, so I recommended this Canon, which I installed after removing the HP software and rebooting. However, we're having two problems that seem to be related: 1) When sending a print job to the queue when it's e…
