Add Network Place missing?
by Guest Bruce.- 2 replies
- 188 views
XP Pro SP3 Using the Explorer, I double click on My Network Places, and in the right pane there should be a choice "Add Network Place" choice. It launches a wizard for adding a new link to the My Network Places. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308416/) I also have a seperate XP laptiop, and the "Add Network Place" is on that one, just not my regular PC. Any idea where it went or how to get it back? Thanks, Bruce.

no keyboard functionality after windows update
by Guest akira1251- 8 replies
- 303 views
Earlier today, I brought my laptop off of stand by and was greeted with 2 messages. The first was an apparent virus threat that I was able to take care of with AVG. The second was that I would need to restart so an automatic update could be completed. Since the reboot, though, I’ve had zero functionality from my keyboard. Any idea what’s going on here?

Microsoft Fax
by Guest John Dean- 3 replies
- 216 views
Using Microsoft Fax from Word 2003 under XP SP2. I've been faxing the same number once a week for several months without a problem. Now the fax doesn't work at all - I can bring up the fax dialogue and go through it, but when I click 'finish' to send the fax, nothing happens - no noise, no activity, nothing. I've gone through the fax troubleshooter and can't see anything there - device manager says the fax modem is "working properly". Any ideas? -- John Dean Oxford

ntbackup.exe only backs up directories--not files
by Guest ida noe- 3 replies
- 204 views
Decided to test the efficacy of ntbackup and tried an experimental restore of a backup file. Surprise: there were NO FILES backed up, just directories. When I checked the contents of the backup file it contained all the directories but not a single file. And yes, I did click open all directories and check-box ALL files in the backup I was creating. Whaaa? (Thanx for your attention).

Running Windows XP SP3 and Office 2007 Every new user on my network gets a home folder created which they have full rights to but since installing Service Pack 3 they cannot 1) Save a file to this network folder using any Office 2007 application. 2) Rename a file in there home directory. They can save to other network locations and they can use another program like notepad and save to their home directory without any problems. Has anyone seen this or know of a solution? Enrique

retrieving profile after XP recovery
by Guest jamatthebeach- 2 replies
- 182 views
I just had to preform a OS only restore and have lost access to my original account. I can view it by going to "Explore all users" and all of my data is still intact, but the profile doesnt register through the normal "user accounts" applications. The biggest problem is that all of my data (on both hard drives) has become unaccessable. When I try to open the folders I get an "access is denied" message. I have tried creating a new account and changing the path to reflect the location of the old profile, but it doesnt work. Any help would be greatly apprieciated! -- Jason

Offline Files 2 GB Limit
by Guest NC Beach Bum- 1 reply
- 158 views
I am working a couple of users who have 4 GB to 6 GB network files that they want in their Offline File Cache so they can work away from the office. I know this 2 GB limit is fixed in Vista but they don't want to move to Vista. Is there another way to get around this 2 GB file limit in Win XP? Is there a KB document available on this as I can not find one. Thanks for the assistance! -- NC Beach Bum

I know I'm in the XP Newsgroup but I need help. I can't sign-in to the Windows Vista Newsgroup. I've tried on two computers (both WinXP) and when I try to sign in using my hotmail address and PW (like I do here), it takes me back to the Newsgroup but I'm not signed in and can't post any messages. Any ideas? Can I only access that newsgroup from a computer that is running Windows Vista? Thank doesn't sound right. Thanks for the help. -- MacKenrick

HDDs switch off - but they shouldn't
by Guest Tracey Woodmason- 3 replies
- 179 views
Hi I'm hoping that someone just may be able to point me in the right direction to solve a problem. I have a PC running WinXP Home w/SP3 and I have set up the Power Settings such that my HDDs DON'T switch off. All well and good so far...but they still do spin down and stop. What prompted me to write this message was that I have not touch my PC for perhaps an hour and a half but still the HDDs are spin up and then down again. On occasions they thrash about doing something but what I've been unable to find out so far. Am I missing something or is there another setting which overrules the one set in the Power Settings in the Control Panel? Also is …

Vista and Windows Mail issues
by Guest Lu Powell- 3 replies
- 175 views
I posted tghe following on the mail forum 3 days ago, and got no reply. Perhaps someone here can help: I have Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit). Here are two recurring issues I need help with, none of which are earth shattering: 1. When setting View-> Text Size, using Western default, the text size is too samll for my feeble eyes. Resetting the size to Largest is okay though the setting won't stay. Merely moving from one folder or forum to another sees the text size changing back. 2. Views Bar, though turned off will show itself at random times. Thanks in advance for all your help.

When I install IE 7, none of my programs work
by Guest sheana- 1 reply
- 168 views
I downloaded all the updates to my WIN XP computer, but with the addition of IE 7, none of my 3rd party programs worked, i.e. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, SnagIt, etc. They wouldn't even open up. As soon as I uninstalled IE7 and some other updates that automatically accompanied it, I could then successfully use my programs. Can you please tell me what's going on? Thanks in advance.

Persistent image of a lock on my screen
by Guest psychdoc- 5 replies
- 354 views
In the center of my screen, there is an image of a box - with a lock inside it. For approximately 15 seconds, the lock remains shut. Then, without my doing anything, the lock closes and remains so for the same amount of time. The cycle goes on and on. There are no messages accompanying the image. Attempting to put the cursor on it are fruitless. I ran virus scan - which turned up nothing - although after having done so, the images were no longer present. They have, however, returned. Rebooting does not make a difference. Control Alt Delete yields nothing. I have shut down Zone Alarm but the images persist. The images don't seem to have any functi…

Language bar malfunction
by Guest Ruth- 0 replies

I use Word 2003 with XPPro, and use the language bar all the time. On Sept. 8 or so, we started having problems: 1) Does not load and has to be repopulated with my frequently used keyboards every time I start the computer; 2) will only register the Unicode Keyboards that come with windows XP; I have 2 alternative Hebrew keyboards and one alternative Greek Keyboard installed. Regional and Language options lets me select all of these, but when I apply and close the dialogue box, they do not appear on the language bar. Between Sept 1 and Sept 8, automatic updates added a slew of updates, including Service Pack 3; on Sept 1 we installed Kodak EasyShare …
