Folder view settings revisited - again
by Guest Alpha- 2 replies
- 228 views
One computer is driving its user nuts - it will simply not retain folder view settings in Explorer. All the usual methods have been employed - TweakUI, Views tab on Folder Options, Save User settings tweak from Kelly's Korner, and deletion of Bags and BagsMRU keys in the ShellNoRoam section of the registry. Nothing seems to work. Only thing we found was that the deleted registry keys would be regenerated at boot - and then opening Explorer it is found that the view has reverted to Tiles and sorted By Name which the user does not want! This started last week on a fully updated Windows XP Pro SP2 machine but no system settings modified in months. Inexplicably seem…

System Error When Leaving Hibernate
by Guest Simon- 9 replies
- 389 views
I run XP Home SP3 and IE7 and AVG 8. Almost every time the PC wakes from Hibernate a 7011 error is created as follows: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7011 Date: 05/10/2008 Time: 15:06:07 User: N/A Computer: XXX Description: Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the Netman service. I have spent many hours googling this - it seems quite a common occurrence but no-one seems to know how to stop it and/or whether it can be safely ignored. Any thoughts, please?

ShowBiz DVD2

I have used this software successfully once before. Recently though the system is hanging once it reaches the authoring stage. It seems to hang a lot, even while trying to close it and doesn't respond. I have tried reinstalling it and repairing it and even getting rid of programmes I no longer use in case of conflict. The project is 1.42 GB so not too big for DVD. It came bundled with digital videocam software. I can't access their website for a number of reasons. Anyone help me please?

Terminal Services Won't Start ... all of a sudden
by Guest Tom- 1 reply
- 206 views
Hi, WinXPSP2 install, updated with everything but SP3. As of two days ago, will no longer accept RDP sessions. All is well in the land of the check boxes, firewall etc. So I went to services.msc to see if I can start Terminal Services manually and get the following error: Could not start.....Error 126: The specified module could not be found. Also, when looking at my backups, I started to get errors where my backup program can't backup certain files because of access denied errors due to file attribute changes. I ran a rootkit scan and NAV / AVG scans and come up with nothing. Any ideas?

Abnormal Disk Image?
by Guest Watty- 2 replies
- 221 views
Continuing my story from "Foiled Again?". A quick review. My 80G drive apparently failed. A shop got the contents to an external drive I gave them. I installed XP on a new 320G drive, and then used unstoppable copier to it. I think this is an image copier. I was able to fire up XP on the 320G drive, but it was obvious some programs were not working properly. The most frequent msg on them was something about DLLs. Supposedly, the point of installing XP and onto the the new drive was to produce an MBR. I just talked to WDC, and they said an image copy should have done the trick. There was no need to make a MBR. Either way, that leaves some mysteries. BTW…

by Guest Art- 8 replies

I am confused I have ran the SFC(system file checker ) in an attempt to replace some missing DLL files noted. It says "insert the Windows Xp Pro SP3"? I have had this computer for over 1.5 years and it didn't come with an XP Pro disc, only restore disc, which I do not want to use. System Restore does not help. I have downloaded and installed SP3 and still have missing files. I have downloaded SP3 and saved to a CD, an attempted to use it with the file checker but it will not accept it."wrong CD inserted" Computer is a dual core AMD 2.6 GHZ, 4GB ram, 300GB HD SATA, 250GB HD IDE. I have no other problems except getting WMP to recognize my drives.. The IDE …

Multiple users and XP Files and settings transfer wizard
by Guest Martin C- 0 replies
- 168 views
I am planning to construct a new PC build and will be reinstalling XP from scratch - it was starting to lag a bit anyway! I thought I would try out the Files And Settings Tranfer Wizard to see how good it was, but it raised a question. My PC currently has 3 users. Does the wizard have to be run from each user's account, or does it only need to be done the once. I have looked on the web, but have not been able to find an answer yet. Please advise. Martin
