Multiple Windows Named mformat
by Guest Henry- 0 replies
- 241 views
Occasionally, my computer will not go into hibernation and when I return there are many small windows titled "mformat" with an error message about access violation. Normally they can be closed out but occasionally I have to reboot to get rid of them. The computer seems to function okay otherwise. I have an XP PRO operating system.

Quick Launch icons disappearing
by Guest Not4U2Know- 5 replies
- 348 views
Lately, I've noticed two weird things regarding my Quick Launch toolbar. I'm using XP Pro SP3. 1. Sometimes the icons are visible but clicking on them produces no action. I have to go to the Start>Programs menu and launch the program from there. Rebooting solves that problem. 2. Most annoying problem now: icons completely disappear from Quick Launch. Hovering over the Quick Launch bar, however, shows the shadow of an icon and a tooltip stating what it's for but clicking on it does nothing. This is quite annoying. Again, a restart of my computer fixes this too. Are these known issues, and if so, how can I fix them, please?

The original PC will be taken out and shot afterwards..lol -- http://www.fsbracing.com Online Racing at its Very Best!

STATIC in WLM conversation

I am have vista home edition on my computer and built in microphone, until recently my friend (in USA) and myself (in Australia) could have clear conversations. Recently after about 10 minutes into the conversation at the USA end which is a computer with XP, he gets an unbearable loud static noise, necessitating him to have to turn his speakers down, whilst he can still talk and I get a reasonably clear conversation from him, I have taken up to typing my response due to the static. If we terminate the conversation and I ask him for a new conversation, the static remains...occasionally we can get a few minutes static free the second time....what could be …

I have always used the 'Adminiustrator' account since I bought my laptop. I created a new account 'mohd' few days ago with administrative rights. The 'Administrator' Login has now disappeared off the desktop and I cannot log into it to use my set desktop, browser with favourites and passwords etc. I do not know how to restore the Administrator login back onto the desktop so that there will be an option of the 2 accounts to log in by switching users. Please help. Cheers

problem installing printer
by Guest Person- 2 replies
- 245 views
I recently tried to install an officejet g85 'all in one' printer on my laptop that has windows xp. - setup was completed. Then tried to install it on another laptop that has vista on it. Seemed to install ok but, couldn't get it to print. Uninstalled using the 'remove programs' option. This appeared to work. Then I tried to re-install but a message came up saying that it was already installed and that I'd have to use the un-install program to delete it. Checked and it was removed. Can't seem to figure out why I'm getting this message. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks Des --

Uninstalling ATI Display Drivers hosed my system!
by Guest SRam_z- 2 replies
- 209 views
You see it all the time: "Make sure to update your display drivers to the latest version." So, I did. I have an ASUS (ATI Radeon) HD3850 PCIe display card. I did exactly what it said to do: Go to 'Add or Remove Programs' and click on the "ATI Software Removal Utility" then follow the prompts, restart the system and install the new (latest) drivers. However, when I restarted, I got the Windows starting screen (with the moving bar) and that's it! At the point where I should be looking at the "Welcome" screen - I'm instead looking at a black screen. As though the monitor is turned off. (It isn't, though; the light is green.) There is about 20 more seconds of…

Can anyone help me? Now and again after logging on the active screen deactivates after about 30 seconds, click the screen it is reactivated but then deactivates again, This will carry on indefinably until I either reboot or; as I found out by accident that if I went to System Restore but just clicked the cancel button the active screen would then behave normally. This has been a periodical problem for months. I have XP with sp3.

Windows XP looking in wrong directory for desktop background files
by Guest Not4U2Know- 4 replies
- 266 views
I have Win XP Pro XP3, and as a result of trying some changes to fix another issue with the Quick Launch bar, now when I go to change the background image for my desktop (wallpaper), the selections are not coming from C:\WINDOWS as they are supposed to, but from another directory on my PC that contains pictures (.jpg and .gif). It's not even looking for bitmaps. How can I force the OS to look in C:\WINDOWS? I've checked everything in the desktop properties screens/tabs and cannot find anything there. There must be a registry key that controls this option. Thank you.
