by Guest Juls- 3 replies
- 269 views
-- Hi...I can't find help for this at the microsoft support site or anywhere for that matter! The computer is a Dell Latitude D600 laptop...It's running windows media 2005...It was the victim of a very bad virus and after much effort I decided to do a clean reinstall of XP using the recovery disc...The reinstall went fine, but when I rebooted it wanted an administrator password...There never was one so that was odd..it also showed an error message that said the following: The System cannot log you on due to the following error: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Cannot go into standby or hibernate - hangs
by Guest redyellowgreenblue@gmail.com- 3 replies

Hi I'm using Windows XP Home edition. I've never been able to use the Standby or Hibernate features, but thought I'd give it go a fixing it to save a bit of electricity. When I select Standby or Hibernate from the start menu, the system will begin to shut down as appopriate, then move onto the blue screen that states "Preparing to Stand By" ---- and that's as far as it gets. It never actually goes into Standby mode, and I'm forced to restart the computer. I've had a look around on Google and haven't found anyone with this problem. I assume some process is not letting the computer standby, but how can I figure out which it is?

by Guest Jeff- 8 replies

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I recently purchased a PC game off of Ebay only to find out when I tried to run it I received a win.ini [iNTL] error. Now the program appears to install properly it is just when I try to run the program that I get this error. I looked on the internet for help on this error and all I have found is that it refers to an INTERNATIONAL error associated with my win.ini file. I have even tried the Windows compatibility wizard but that does not seem to help. The game I am trying to run is an older Win 95/98 program so I believe it has something to do with that but other than that I don't have a clue. It is funny b…

Unable to enter data in PHP Order Form
by Guest cmjames- 4 replies
- 247 views
I am starting a small home business and I have asked a developer to create an Order Form in PHP. My developer has been using both IE 6 and IE 7 to test the form and he does not have any issues. When I tried testing the form on my end in IE 7, I was unable to enter some of the fields and see the updates. I have tried re-installing IE 7 on my PC and I have cross-checked my Internet settings with my developers and I have not been able to resolve the issue. I also tried downloading Firefox and tested the Order form in that browser and it appears to be working fine. I am not sure why I am unable to do the same in IE 7. Can someone help me please? Tha…

Changing Windows XP update download target drive?
by Guest Ian Hayes- 3 replies

I have a friend who has a laptop with two hard drives: an 80MB 'C' drive and a 5MB 'D' drive. Currently there is plenty of free space on the 'C' drive and zero free space on the 'D' drive. For some reason when the Windows Update process is run it is trying to download and store files onto the 'D' drive. As there is no free space on the 'D' drive the Update process fails with an error. How and where can I change the target drive so that Windows Update uses drive 'C' instead? I've checked all the environment variables and they all point to drive C.

Recently I got the "blue screen of death" and since then, I lost my background tab and my screen saver tab and cannot change either one. I purchased the windows live one care package and that didn't help to fix this problem. How do I find out if they have been erased? Or are they just hidden? Is there a way to reload them? Or would I have to take my comp to a technician and have them reload windows. thanks

Each day I download the identical mp4 video file with program Miro.exe to a laptop and to a desktop PC. On the desktop PC the file size is 441 MB. On the laptop the "same" file is 115 MB. Both PCs are running Windows XP. Desktop=XP-Pro, Laptop=XP-Home. The difference in file size is consistent day to day. What might explain the difference in size? Stan Hilliard

Re: Saving Folder View Settings - Further

Re: Saving Folder View Settings - Further I may have read one too many threads today, but I have not found a solution to: When I run WindowsExplorer (.exe), the My Documents folder is always displayed 'opened' (with all of the subfolders displayed). "Tools/folder options/apply to all folders" seems to apply only to the "view" that is selected, not whether the folder is open or closed! Am I missing something here? (should I re-read a thread or two?) "RobRW" wrote: > Thankyou Ed. That worked. Set the default just as you said and then > customised the individual folders. Settings are now remembered.
