In the System Restore tab of System Properities, the only "available drives" are my 'D' & 'E' drives. How do I get System Restore to monitor 'C' again? Don't know what happened but when I went to restore to a previous point, this is the dialog box that popped up: --------------------------- System Restore --------------------------- Changes made to drive(s) C:\ after this point cannot be reversed because the drive was either excluded from System Restore monitoring, or was turned off or removed. ---------------------------

Since I like to use the maximum page display I always use the autohide taskbar feature. Lately it has ceased to function properly. I can uncheck the autohide and apply, then recheck autohide and apply. It then works - once. After that it will not hide. Any suggestions on how to repair? TIA

I`m not sure where this should be posted but if not the right area perhaps someone can direct me where to post. I have a computer running XP Pro SP2.

What is the deal with running XP under VM legally. If I buy a copy of XP/Pro (EOM) as part of a complete system, can I run it under VM if I install Linux or Vista as a host OS?

Hi, This seems a similar problem to that noted by Bea below: as yet unanswered. (Is something going around?) Old Dell laptop, XPHome. On logging out of one profile and logging back on in my normal (administrator) one, 'userenv' in event log says a 'temporary' profile was substituted, and it would disappear on logging out. Not a bit of it! Now all I get after log on is the blue basic dell screen and a handful of standard desktop icons. Windows explorer shows that my folders and files are still there, but I cannot find any way to reassociate them with my user id, which now seems to be permanently referenced to this unwanted empty new one.

One listed a problem with "beep.sys" - a problem with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and later another blue screen of death said my video driver failed to initialize. How do I get past the "Windows is starting up..."screen?
