Video and the mouse
by Guest FrankO- 0 replies
- 179 views
Most come here to share problems as I have on hundreds of occasions. today I wish to share a positive solution to a video problem, shifting and flickering especially after moving he mouse or using the scroll wheel. On a whim, I decided to switch to another mouse having a little newer technology - a laser mouse. Well guess what sports fans - no more shifty-nervous-jittery video for me, just a very crisp, brilliant, and sharp display. This is a very simple thing and often overlooked, I suppose, but it worked for me.

Printer Icons not displaying
by Guest Wendy- 3 replies
- 246 views
I have a customer whose printer icons no longer show. Next to the printer queues, it now shows the generic icon for unrecognized programs. There is a printer icon in system32\shell32.dll that I can use in the folder options and file types, but I don't know which file needs to be associated with the designated printer icon.

Afternoon Gents, I'm runnning XP MCE on my main computer and i use the Media Centre alot to record a daily program. Now I would like the computer to be in hibernation, awake when the programme needs to be recorded, record the programme and then switch itself off when the recording is finished. is there a setting in the background or a programme i can install that will turn the computer off/put it back into the hibernated state? I do 8 hours days at work and it's wasting alot of electricity when it's not recording the programme. cheers Andy

Suppose I want to copy a file or folder from C:\ to D:\, but with the same folder path structure. For example, if I copy C:\MyFolder\MyFile.doc to D:\, it should save to D:\MyFolder\MyFile.doc, creating MyFolder in D: if necessary. If I copy C:\MyFolder\Songs\ to D:\, it should copy all files in Songs\ to D:\MyFolder\Songs\, creating folders as needed. Perhaps the xcopy command do it, but I prefer to drag/drop using Explorer. How would I do it?

I know that XP Pro only supports up to 2 concurrent connections. What if I install a PHP forum on a XP pro? Does it mean that only 2 users can access the site at one time? Or am I wrong? Thanks.

How to disable additional printer installation.
by Guest Frank Church- 5 replies
- 279 views
Windows XP tends to redetect printers and add them over and over again, resulting in many duplicates of the same printer name. Is there a way to disable detection of new printers, or revert to the original printer if it is unplugged and reinserted? I would also like to disable addition of printers altogether, unless the admin enables to allow printers to be installed, even for Administrator accounts. Is there some way to do this? /vfclists

Warning message: Automatic Updates Disabled
by Guest anthony- 5 replies
- 276 views
I keep getting a Windows Security message that Automatic Updates for XP is disabled: 'click on this balloon to fix'. But nothing happens when I try to do this -- I get the window, and the box to tick for auto update, but it won't register. Strangely, when I check on Auto Update in my Control Panel, it shows as 'on' but I can't get rid of this possibly spurious Security warning. Any measures I can take?

Windows XP SP3 Printing Problems
by Guest majorg- 4 replies
- 249 views
Hello, I work in a Windows 2003 domain environment, and we have 100 Windows XP clients. Using WSUS we have successfully upgraded a number of the client PCs, but have now discovered that many have them have developed printing problems with PDF and Office documents. It is taking about six minutes for the print dialog window to appear. As suggested by Microsoft, we have changed the settings for printers on our Windows 2003 print server so that print jobs are printed directly rather than spooled, and have done the following on the clients: 1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the Sys…

Boot from D: when C: does not exist
by Guest MariusM- 6 replies
- 309 views
hi, I have this problem: 2x HDD, 3 partitions. C and E on the first HDD, D on the second. I had some problems with windows and reinstalled it on D so now there are practically 2x WinXP in multi boot. The problem is the first HDD is faulty and I have to remove it but in this case computer does not have a C drive to boot from. At the same time the mother board only has 2 S-ATA so I can only connect 2x HDD at a time or 1 HDD and the DVD-RW which I need. How can I make windows boot from D when D is the only drive available? It should be possible I guess. thank you for your replies

After installing SP3, and a user has logged in, and then logged off (logged off, not shut down or re-started) the login screen appears showing the different user accounts. However, when a user clicks on his/her name to login, the password field will not accept the password -- you can't even get the cursor to display in the field. One must restart the system in order for anyone to logon.
