GMAIL, IE & default email client
by Guest diane in seattle- 1 reply
- 163 views
I use Gmail & love it. I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. So I don't use any Microsoft products for either of these tasks. It used to be, when I was brows- ing, if I clicked on a mailto link, a new tab would open with a blank Gmail compose box, & the email address of the link I'd clicked. I'd type my message in that Gmail box & send it off. A while back, when I did this, nothing happened for about 15 seconds. Then suddenly, 58 Internet Explorer blank windows would pop up & cascade all over my screen. I get a message to the effect that the default mail client is not installed. It doesn't happen on every web- site; in fact, I …

Cannot install SP2 without making system unstartable, black screen
by Guest HappyGuy- 7 replies
- 251 views
Dear all, I have recently had to reinstall Windows XP. I had Windows XP + SP2 installed on the system but because of a loss of motherboard USB function thought I would try doing an in-place repair of Windows XP. I tried this in two ways: 1. I have slipstreamed Windows XP + SP2 CD I created and have used with great success on other computers. However, when I used this, I always ended up booting to a black unresponsive screen after seeing the 'Windows XP' logo; moreover, safe mode would not work either. 2. Subsequently, I used my original WIndows XP SP1 OEM CD to help me do an in-place repair which would allow me to log into Windows + safe mode + …

3 Beeps and computer won't turn on?
by Guest Tony- 8 replies
- 296 views
I re-installed Xp on a new hard drive about a month ago. Just last nite while surfing the net. The screen on my monitor went screwy. And shut off. I then hear 3 beeps about a second apart. Is this a operating system issue? I have an e-machines computer I bought 2 years ago. At first I thought it maybe a hardware issue. So I opened up the case. Reseated the memory, disconnected everything and spray dusted everything I could. But nothing has fixed the problem. Any thoughts and directions are appreciated.

Can't Start Windows-Keeps Rebooting
by Guest GTifeld- 1 reply
- 140 views
Hi All, I've seen this question posted before, but none of the solutions offered seem to be helping my problem. I have an older PC which is caught in a re-booting loop. The XP logo appears, then it reboots. It comes up with the usual "Windows was not properly shut down..."message and offers the choices of Last known good config, Safe mode, Start normally, etc. None of the options work. Some of the suggestions I've tried so far was booting from the CD and using Recovery console to expand the KERNEL32.DLL file, and uninstalling SP2. Both of these attempts went smoothly, but neither has resolved the problem. Any other ideas or suggestiosn would be grea…

There is a PC named "pcname-01" in my LAN, there are several shared folders. I can use "\\pcname-01" to see all of them. What I want to do is to map it as a network drive. However I can only map to a specific folder, like this "net use \\pcname-01\sharefolder1" Is there a method to map all the shared folders? Just like I type "\ \pcname-01"
