I'm trying to install some older software application from a CD-R and get the following message get the following error message: "This application has failed to start because ppcload.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." This CD is to install software on a PDA which is connected to the desktop via MS ActiveSync. This is a long-standing set up, have installed dozens of applications over the last few years ... so I know that the connection/partnership works. Has anyone come across something like this? TIA for your help.

I have just changes PC unit, and I am trying to find my old settings, as I could not transfer them from the old one. One setting that I used to rely heavily on is the online translation, synonym, thesaurus, dictionary etc. I used to click or highlight one word in my text (in word), to find a synonym in the same language, or a definition, or a translation of this word into another language, French mostly. The usual window used to appear on the right of the text, with many suggestion. The version I have now is very poor and hardly suggest anything... God knows how I managed to install this first place, but it appeared one day, and I haven't got a clue how…

Dear all, I am using XP professional, It starts to slow down. When I right click on C: properties I find: used space 21GB, free space 6GB and capacity 27GB; and I see the pie chart is almost full of blue against purple.

I tried D.Cleanup, defragmentation, and deleting temporary files by using: Start Run (dllcache, recent, prefetch, temp, %temp% and files in internet properties) and also reduced System Restore settings. I checked C:Windows and found tens (10s) of files start with $NtUninstal…

It boots with 'service failed to start.......) message, and goes to the login screen, but when I log in to the server it …
