Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

I'm at a loss, I had a crash where program froze and I tried to close the program by clicking the "X" in the upper right corner. Got a blue screen box that closed before I could read it. All attempts of restarting go though a screen stating Windows failed to start properly, would I like to try in Safe Mode,etc. None have worked, I tried the installation disc, ran chkdsk from the command prompt, fixed something, but still no clean boot. I put in the install disc again, it found another version of windows and asked if I wanted to creat a dual boot partition. I stopped at that point. I really would like to recover some files off this machine and am concerned that…

posted this in the xp hardware group but got no response. . thought i would try here, , , hello, i made the mistake of downloading a registry scanner called "registry booster" by Uniblue turned out you had to "register" to get the full version. . but in the meantime it caused something to happen to my 4 port 2.0 usb hub. . (internal). . did two system restores to no avail. device manager says the ports are working . .when i plug in a device i get the message "device not recognized" but when i plug it into one of the front usb ports, the slower ones, it works fine. . .any suggestions? Thanks for any info -- Life is a treasure; spend it wisely

Hi, I am getting an errror in the event log, event ID 11708: Product Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers -- Installation failed. To make sure it isn't the windows installer service, I successfully installed and uninstalled another application. However, I cannot figure out what is causing this error, and since this is run from within Symantec Backup Exec, I am not sure which installer is trying to run. Is there a way to add an option to the Windows Installer service like - debug to set the service in debug mode, attempt the install, and then retrieve to log to find out why this is occurring? Thanks. Kevin

I know you are good with command line switches and stuff. Help me out here. Ok, I have gone through this before and it is time to rehash it. I hibernate my laptop every night using Shutter.exe. http://www.den4b.com/screenshots.php?project=Shutter and it works fine. By that I mean, not only does it hibernate my laptop at the scheduled time but it also allows my scheduled wake-up tasks to run, which Rundll.exe,powrprof.dll SetSuspendState did not do. It has in its parameters one that if true will DisableWakeEvent. So ,what I need is one of you experts here to tell me exactly what to type in my Scheduled Tasks Run box when setting up the task. If you would look a…

OK, the reformat problem was solved. See my post in the other chain on this--Very Slow. Unfortunately, I did not partition the drive. I had hoped I could do that after the reformat--too far along in the format check to back out. Is it possible to do this now? Here's where I'm headed. I'm going to lay down a 80G installation on this new large 320G drive of the installation as it was before the 80G drive holding it died. I recovered all files on the 80G. I'm going to use unstoppable copier to do that. I would think I would put that in partition 1 if I make 3 partitions here. BTW, I'm now up to 7% while waiting for WD to answer their 30 day free install…

I have just got interested in 64 bit operating system. So I understand that you need a 64 bit OS. However, does the motherboard & other hardware need to be 64 bit specific? TIA -- _______________________________ In Christ's matchless name ted n6trf

I currently have an ACER Aspire One, running XP Home. I was able to install the Remote Desktop terminal tool to access an HP computer on my network thats running XP Pro. I would like to have reciprocal capability to access the ACER from the HP. Unfortunately, appaerntly XP Home does not include the Remote Desktop access software. Is there a download (ie. plugin, etc.) to install into XP Home to allow Remote Desktop access to the ACER?

Suddenly, every time I try to extrtact files from a zipped folder either with windows xp or with winzip, Windows Explorer shuts down. I have sent the data to MS but not gotten anything back on it. I have clicked the debug option which seems to make something happen, but onlyh the text files get extracted. I have tried this on files from many different sources but still no luck. Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks.

We have locked down our workstations (Hide c:, no cmd, no regedit,) and My documents redirected to the users home. In server 2008 and terminal services all these are ignored. What is the best way to get this done. We would like to see the same lockdown and folder redirection done by our DC's for our XP pro clients translate into TS/s on 2008. Lots of problems for example in 2008 there is no "My Documets" just Username. Kent

After a bulk delete of large number of (Retrospect Backup) files from the Recycle Bin, I noticed that the Recycled folder on each of my drive partitions, has 'disappeared. Using Windows Explorer the only 'Recycle' entry showing in the tree view is one entry for Recycle Bin at the end of the tree view. The Recycle Bin icon is still on the Desktop and a test delete of a file caused it to go to the Recycled Bin. I have checked with another PC and each of the drives has a Recycled folder showing in alphabetic sequence. Grateful for any advice on what to do. Peter. ********

I installed XP Pro on a new 320G HD last week, and need to do it again. However, after 30 minutes it's gotten to the 4% mark. It took less than an hour last week. What's up? Should I kill it? Maybe I should have used the quick format available in install.

Hi there, I'd be really grateful if someone could have a quick read of my problem! My Exchange server is causing problems. 2-3 times a day, all outgoing emails are bouncing with SMTP errors - Example: There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator. <exchange.xxxx.local #5.5.0 smtp;550 <emailaddress@gmail.com>... Relaying denied> I am on a BT Business ADSL line and using a standard BT SMTP server which has always worked fine. I've checked at BT and it's working fine too. Rebooting my Exchange server resolves the problem but only for a few hours. Incidentall…

I know it's simple, but I can't figure it out. How do I add a program to my start menu? My system reboots each night and I want certain programs to be open when I begin. Please help
