I have been running my trusty old 21" Sony Trinitron Multiscan G500 for the last 6-7 years. When it came out, it was very high end and even at today's standards, it does well. But this monitor is HUGE! About 100 pounds to boot. Anyhow, got a couple of free monitors from work as they were upgraded. One 19" and one 21". Both LCD's. Would like to go to LCD's now and will run the 19" between 2 computers with a KVM switch. Anyhow, I was double checking the specs between my old Trinitron against the two newer Viewsonic LCD's and while I know they are different technology, it seems that maybe my Trinitron may still out perform the larger Viewsonic that was going …

I can't seem to find a .NET group but may have missed it somehow. If there is one, plz advise according and I'll post to there.

Hello. I want to change the colour of the compressed file folders from the default blue to something which is compatible with the window colour I want to use for my theme. The default blue is unreadable with the window colour I want to use. How can I do this (without changing each one individually)?

My Lenovo T61 system stops working completely and randomly. The external mouse, keyboard, internal keyboard, track point and track pad all stop functioning. I have to power down using the power button which is the only button on the machine that continues to work. Anyone having this issue that has a suggestion would be appreciated.

Is there a shortcut to enter password on Welcome Screen and/or to Unlock Computer (to bring on the screen to enter password)? If so, please respond. I know a person with only one hand that can use this information. Many thanks.

I am puzzled as to the operation of the configuration utility in XP Pro. When I use it, it appears to offer a range of dialogues for changing system settings, but whenever I change any, it just opens next time, with a message that I should go back to a 'normal' start up. What is the point of having a utility with the settings all in one convenient place, and then making it so that (apparently) changes can only be made on a temporary basis? Is this the way it is meant to work, or am I missing something? Cheers, S

What is it? I get this option when trying to run a WinXP Repair/Reinstall with my XP CD in the CD drive. I don't think I want it.

Ok. Here is what happened first of all: I was doing a defrag on my comp.. it was at 37%, I decided to see if this Sonic RecordNow! was the program I needed to use to burn a DVD, so I clicked it to open it and a blue screen with a bunch of white words on it popped up and then shut my computer down. I turned it back on.. it got to the screen where I enter my password.. I entered it. It then acted as if it was going to load windows and I seen my desktop background image but then it would go right back to the password screen.. and no matter how many times I entered my password it would keep doing that. I left my computer off for awhile and tried later, stll…

I have been having problems with my computer suddenly stopping responding, or freezing. Ultimately I have to reboot. The error message that is generated upon restart is "STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER". I have followed all of the action dictated in the associated KB article, including replacing my video card. Nothing seems to cure the problem. So I am bringing my problem to the group to see if someone has cured this malady before.

I have a folder on my desktop that just had two pictures in it, that once no longer needed, I deleted. However, whenever I restart, the folder with pictures inside reappears! I've moved them to other folders, and again - it reappears after a restart. I even deleted the folder with a supposed 'forever eraser' program that supposedly overwrites the data a thousand billion times - but, yes, you guessed it - it still reappears after a restart. Anybody know the cure for this and could explain why this is happening? Thanks in advance! magmike

Well, yet another aspect of what I have presented in this forum has now been addressed. More of the malicious activity we find spreading across the Internet. Click-jacking http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1972&tag=nl.e539 From the article: QUOTE: With this exploit, once you're on the malicious web page, the bad guy can make you click on any link, any button, or anything on the page without you even seeing it happening. [ SEE: Adobe Flash ads launching clipboard hijack attack ] If that's not scary enough, consider than the average end user would have no idea what's going on during a Clickjack attack.

I have to format my wife's hard drive on her laptop and then re-install Windows XP Professional. I have her OEM disk but she has miss placed the package with the product code. Is there someplace I can look on her laptopfor this information before I re-format her hard drive so that I can easily reinstall XP?

We have an old laptop that is currently running XP Pro (VERY slowly), that we we intend to take out of service. We intend to use the OS in another much newer laptop that can easily handle the operating system. We would like to avoid activation problems of course, and need to know how do we transfer XP licence from the old laptop to the new laptop. Appreciate any advise that will make this go smoothly. Thanks RJN
