I will be installing a new system and have no experience with the 64-bit version, only the 32-bit version. On my 32-bit system I use NOD32 for my virus checking program and Acronis True Image as my backup program. Does anyone know if these programs run on Win XP Pro 64? If not, anyone have recommendations? (Do viruses run on a 64-bit system???) Thanks Ken K

Internet Explorer is removable? I thought that it was necessary for all Windows programs. Mist

I am having a frustrating disagreement with our paid IT consultants. I am running XP with the usual PC software. All of my data files are backed up to a network server. I want to backup the entire C drive - with the built-in XP function, or with a program that makes an image of the C: drive, etc. I want to be able to restore the PC to a prior date should there be a serious problem. Our IT consultants insist this is not possible. That, if I have a serious problem, my only choice is to restore to factory default settings, loading all programs again from original installation CDs, and then restoring the files backed up to our network server. Yet other c…

Incredimail is my default email client, but after and auto update from Microsoft, my attachments open in Outlook Express even though I don't have OLE on my computer. How can I get rid of this and have attach open with Incredimail like they used to?

ChooseColor Dialog - Can Only Enter 2 Digits, Not 3 This bug has something to do with font sizes, display settings and XP not being "DPI Aware". To fix this, simply modify the COMDLG32.DLL file by increasing the input box size. This modification does not cause any problems at all. It is perfectly safe. Instructions: 1. Download "Resource Hacker" and install it: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ 2. Backup the original. Open the Run box and enter: xcopy C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMDLG32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMDLG32.DLL.bak 3. Run "Resource Hacker" and open: C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMDLG32.DLL 4. Expand "Dialog". 5.

A while ago I was trying to network my laptop (Win2K) to my desktop (W98se). I never did get it to work and gave up. I only wanted the network to copy my camera pictures to the laptop. I decided it was easier to copy files using flash memory sticks, than fight with the network connections. Anyhow, I am not posting this to get help with the network. I abandoned that project weeks ago. The problem is that ever since I tried to make this network work, I have been getting freezups. They occur particularly when I delete or move many files. For example, moving all the camera photos from my camera card (via USB card reader), caused the computer to just free…

After updating my Windows XP Pro machine from SP2 to SP3, I have run into a problem where winlogon.exe is consuming 50% CPU on an AMD dual core processor machine. Normal windows shutdown does not work. I am forced to hold down on the power button to shut down the computer. Any one else experiencing this problem? Any thoughts as to what is causing it (besides the SP3 update)?

I have an unusual problem that I haven't experienced before. I am unable to switch between application in Windows XP. If I have 2 instances of internet explorer open I am able to switch between them by clicking on the task bar or using ALT+TAB. This is the same for any program that I have 2 or more instances open for. The problem is when for example I have internet explorer open and notepad. I am unable to switch between the 2 applications using ALT+TAB or by clicking on the relevant programs box in the task bar. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know what is causing it? I hav done a full virus scan using the latest AVG with all updates …

I would like to change the location of the My Documents folder to a non-system partition (obviously!) However, there is no Target Tab in the (right click) properties for any of my folders. How can I turn Target back on? (Or some other way of moving My Documents?) Thank you, Peter

When my computer boots up, this folder now appears on the screen when windows loads up.This just started within the past day or so. Ran virus scan, did not detect anything. Ran spyware, did not detect anything.

Unfortunately I had to restart my computer due to an infestation of malware that tried to convince me that there were virus' in my computer to try and get me to buy some awfully low-quality virus checking program. Now i've started my computer i can't regenerate a registration key for XP Home Ed. I have the orginal key on the disk box, however when i ring the automated phone number they just tell me nothing can be done and i'm definately not paying £46 to ring the help-line. Anyone know what I can do... i'm really stuck and only have 29 days left to register! ARGH! Why is it so complicated and restrictive even though i bought this product outright. I shou…
