by Guest Carlos- 4 replies
- 606 views
A new release for Java is available. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp There is still no x64 IE support so the file you want to download is jre-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe that will take care of the Java thing in IE 32-bit. Release notes here: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/ReleaseNotes.html Don't forget to uninstall your previous version of Java first! Carlos

SP2 or SP3 for Windows XP Pro x64
by Guest Denise- 7 replies
- 746 views
I've just gone around and around the Microsoft site trying to find an SP2 or SP3 download for Windows XP Pro x64. When I chose x64, it was for Vista only. When I went to http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx, there is no category for XP Pro x64. I could try a guess . . . maybe I should use the Vista x64 since it's an x64 update or maybe I should use the Windows Server 2003 update, or maybe even Windows XP. When is Microsoft going to realize that XP Pro x64 needs its own category. I have the same problem when I try to download most programs. They're good for Vista x64, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, but very few of them…

Excel Hangs under XP64
by Guest Jeffrey- 1 reply
- 544 views
Whenever I have an excel book open and then open another the initial workbook hangs for about ten minutes before being usable again. The new one I opened works great until I open another workbook where the pattern repeats. Is this an Excel issue of a Windows XP64 issue? And what exactly is the issue? I had disabled auto calculate in case that was the problem.

No Undo (CTRL+Z) option, permanently greyed out
by Guest eurotech- 5 replies
- 611 views
Hello, I just noticed this problem when I sent a file to the Recycle Bin, and then decided that I needed it. The usual method I use is to right click the desktop and then select UNDO. Unfortunately, the UNDO command never appears in the right click context menu. Clicking on EDIT in the menu bar reveals that UNDO (CTRL+Z) is greyed out. Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Z produces no results. It doesn't matter if I delete a file, move a file, or rename a file the UNDO menu never appears in the right click context menu nor does the UNDO command under the EDIT menu ever become activated. It seems the UNDO option is permanently disabled. Is there a re…

Quicktime starting very slowly
by Guest Michael- 7 replies
- 662 views
Hi, I have two HP Pavilion PCs, one running Vista32 and the other one running Vista64. On Vista32, Quicktime Player is starting in about 7 seconds, the same procedure takes up to one minute when starting on Vista64. Is there any known issue, any remedy that could help? I tried switching off Prefetch, I deactivated Aero, but no success. Using Quicktime Alternative is not an option because I need QT installed for another application. TIA, Michael

Corrupt installation disc...
by Guest wotens- 4 replies

Hi, Is possible that the installation disc can 'degenerate' and end up being useless? I have a installation disc of Windows XP Pro 64 and everytime time I install the OS it ends up with the same problem: can't read file ChkAcc.log -> please run Chkdisc. And after that the OS crashes and is, more or less useless to work with. I have cleaned the disc and the dvd-player - but nothing helps. Thank, Ulf

dual boot - NIC fails on XP-32 after loading XP64
by Guest Frolin Marek- 5 replies
- 629 views
Have tried several times to setup a dual boot PC with XP Pro (32bit) and XP Pro 64. New hard drive, setup 50gig partition 'C' and installed XP Pro 32. No issues, loaded, then loaded video and NIC card drivers, upgraded to SP2 and even IE7, all working fine. Then install XP 64 by setting up second partition drive 'D', 30gig. XP64 installs fine and auto configures. When done, can access the net and no issues. And restart and select XP Pro 32 or XP 64, and login, all works ok there. But AFTER the 64 is loaded, the XP Pro 32 can not connect to the Internet. And testing leads me to thing the NIC drivers are now bad for 32 bit. Original instal…

New Install Keeps Failing
by Guest Ptera Tech- 2 replies

My boss installed Ubuntu and XP64 on this machine (This is an EVGA nForce 4 Mainboard with AMD Athlon64 with one SATA drive) but there was no room on the working (Yes XP was working) XP partition to install anything on it. So using the install program from the CD I removed all partitions then created/formatted one NTFS partition. Upon first reboot from the install program the screen said: ntfs.sys is missing or corrupt. I ran the install again on existing file system and got: NTLDR is missing. The system cannot boot. I just completed a PC-Doctor diagnostic with no errors found. I ran the install again on the existing file system and got: Windows could not s…

DVD-ROM - Driver not recognized
by Guest TJD- 3 replies
- 525 views
After of year of working, my external USB DVD burner would not load the device driver. The hardware was correctly recognized in Vista 64-bit (as well as in my BIOS). I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, using other USB ports, trying to update driver, and booting in Safe Mode. Nothing worked. Odd thing is that when I did check to update the driver Vista reports I have the latest version of the driver installed. So, I assumed it was a bad drive and bought a new one today (different brand) - same thing. Any solutions or ideas on this? Thanks, Tom

This situation occurs with both IE and Firefox. My OS is Vista Ultimate 64 bit, patch1. I am using Vista Mail. When I am on the Web and I select a e-mail link, I am not getting a new email box. I do have my Windows Mail Inbox come to the screen, but a New Mail box with the address filled in, from the web site, as expected is not happening. I have been through "Set Default Programs" and Windows Mail is selected as my default. It certainly is possible that there is something in: Associate a file type or protocol with a program" or Set program access and computer defaults" that I am missing. But, when I click on a Web Link to email, The Windows (or…

I have a problem setting my e-mail default program to Turnpike on Vista ultimate 64 bit. Turnpike is set as my e-mail link in customize start menu. I have tried running the program default setup, but I can't find turnpike in the list of available programs. I reply yes to set turnpike as default e-mail, news and address book as turnpike starts but every time I open turnpike I have to reset it as default. I have tried setting turnpike up in default programs but it is not listed and I can't find away to add it to the list of programs. Any help would be appreciated. T.I.A. -- John
