I have 56 single file Flash game short cuts in a folder on desktop. After nearly 2 years they have started appearing in data form and take ages to transform into their icon short-cuts created by me. Any idea why this has just started happening? It is also happening in my Spy & Virus folder with all my 10 short-cuts in there! - Thanks - Andy

Using the Settings and File Transfer Wizard
by Guest Jack Gillis- 6 replies
- 327 views
I have read about the Settings and File Transfer wizard for years but there is at least one thing I don't understand that is important to me now that I think I need to use it. I am about to assemble a new computer and want to know how to transfer all,if not most, of the programs installed on the old one to the new one. I feel confident in getting all the files I want in 'Programs Files' from the old one to the new one but can someone tell me how I get their Registry entries or any other required system info over to the new one? The old one has XP Home as probably will the new one. (I might wind up with XP Pro on the new one because I have an unused l…

Hi. The problem: 1) application installed from RAR SFX archive - registered some objects, created some shortcuts, etc. 2) it created record in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Uninstall] with "UninstallString" parameter.

Unfortunatly Vista was not up to scratch so I went back to XP I have everything but my audio drivers. I have a HP pavillion Desktop and Hp have no drivers for Win XP. I have tried a few methods given to me and the latest is to install realtek hd audio driver but an error comes up saying bus driver needs to be installed first. The audio is on board but xp tells me there is no audio device. Does anybody have any sugestions? If all else fails would it be better for me to buy a audio card and install that or would i get the same error? Thanks

USB Drivers
by Guest Old Navy- 15 replies

I have Windows XP Pro SP3 on my computer. I also have 3 external drives connected with USB to IDE cables. I used to be able to use these drives with no problem, but I have had to format my HDD and reinstall Windows about 6 times now. These drives are no longer visible in My Computer. When I go to Device Manager it shows the 3 drives with a yellow exclamation point. I have attempted to reinstall these drivers, using my Windows disk, to no avail. The cables came without drivers, stating that Windows had the drivers already. Can anyone help me to install the needed drivers or where I may be able to find them?
