With Windows XP Pro. Under Word. I have searched under Tools and Options and cannot find the word counter. I have seen it before but it seems to have done a disappearing act. Could you give me a suggestion? Thanking you in advance.

I’ve just purchased a 1TB Buffalo Turbo external hard drive. Problem: my Seagate 320GB external hard drive has only about 20% free space left. Is it possible to have these 2 drives on at the same time and transfer direct from the Seagate EHD to the Buffalo EHD and so reduce the transfer time considerably? Both supplied FAT 32 formatted and are still so. Running XP Home SP3. Thanks - Andy

What MS facility do I use to see my partitions, and change them if necessary? I do have Partition Magic somewhere to install, if necessary.

I have a client that is using Windows XP Pro SP3. His laptop is joined to a Windows SBS 2003 domain. He uses offline files to access files when he takes his laptop out of the office. He is synchronizing his Mapped "S" drive. All but three folders are synchronizing. When I try to sync the folders, I receive an error that says: "Offline Files (\\server1\Shared on Server1): Unable to make 'Caldwell, Christopher' available offline on \\server1\shared\customer\A_C\C. The system is currently running with the last-known good configuration" I have tried recreating the Share at the server and remapping the mapped drive. I have also tried deleting the offline…

Hi, I bought a computer second-hand from a nice young man. He set it up for me and it has worked absolutely perfectly for three years, there have been no problems, hardware or software, that I haven't been able to fix myself. I started it this morning to be greeted with the message: 'Windows Product Activation. Your Windows product must be activated within 7 days. Do you want to activate Windows now?' I clicked NO since I wanted to check. What I have is Windows XP and I have already found a link that seems to diagnose the problem, on the Microsoft site.... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312295/en-us So I have downloaded a thingy.exe called Guided Help, …

At location A I use SJ4850. At location B I use SJ8250. I use the same laptop (HP Pavilion dv9000) at both locations. This system has worked well in the past. I’m now at location B. Suppose I scan a fully printed A4 sheet. I see an A4 image, but the printed sheet has been “pushed” to the right and upwards, lopping part of it off, while leaving corresponding blank space at the left and the bottom. Have tried reinstalling the HP drivers to no effect. The defect seems to be at the HP end as four different software scanning programs give the same result. Is there a way of regaining congruence? Is SJ8250 dying?

Hi, I was printing something from a program called Guitar Pro and the program crashed in the middle of the job. After that I could not print at all so I rebooted. Now every time I reboot the print spooler crashes during start up so I can't even see the printer to try and delete the job and I can't add a new printer because it tells me the print spooler service is not running. It seems like that corrupt job is stuck in the queue somehow but I can't even see the printer to delete it. Would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this. Thanks in advance, Steve

Can someone help me out? I would like to know if it's possible to upgrade Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro, without formatting the hard drive. Would I have to purchase an Upgrade version or could I use a Full Package product. Is it possible to purchase an OEM XP Pro and upgrade from XP Home? Thanks,

Hello, I am using NLB to load balance two servers on my DMZ. My firewall reports port 135 is being blocked when I attempt to query or setup NLB using the NLB Wizard in Windows 2003. How do I disable NLB from using Port 135 to discover the hostnames of the servers in my NLB cluster? Thanks, D

A friend was given a laptop which had previously been connected to a local network. It still has network domains and the previous user's login. We cannot access the 'My Documents' folder since the setup assumes we must be connected. Is there any way I can 'un-network' the various settings and establish the laptop as a standalone, unconnected PC? I am not a networking expert and did not want to change/delete anything for fear of messing things up.

We have our windows 2003 server with just the regular remote administration so administrators can log on and check out the server etc. Every once in a while RDP to this particular server just stops working. when you go into the server there are no obvious errors but the following is true: 1. Terminal Services is started but the option to stop or restart is grayed out 2. RPC service as well is the same issue 3. If you go into the Terminal Service manager and try to reset the RDP-TCP listener you get the following error Session ID (65536) reset Failed Error 5 - Access is denied and yes I am logged on as the domain admin in this case:) This doesnt …

Hi i have a Dell Dimension 9150 desktop. I was having problems with slow startup of Windows Xp Media Centre and IE7 keeping locking up. So Dell recommended i restore my PC to factory Default by Ctrl and F8. I carried out the above, and then the PC was back to the same as the first day i received the PC. I connected to the internet and carried out all the Windows XP and driver updates. I was still having problems with IE7 locking up so therefore installed IE8 Beta. IE8 sometimes still stops responding and now i am also having problems installing software. I have tried installing MSN Messenger etc and other software and it starts downloading, but howeve…
