the option to switch user account is gone in the user account window. I am only able to access my computer as a limited account. I can't seem to have access to the administrator account anymore... Everything I do refers me back to the administrator account that I can't find anymore...

I've done lots of searching on Groups without any solution. Windows 2000, SP4. I have an Epson Perfection 3170 scanner. There are 4 function buttons on the front that used to automatically scan, copy, etc. They suddenly don't work. I have reinstalled the scanner twice. I have checked the settings in Control Panel/Scanners and Cameras. I ran sfc /scannow to make sure my Windows system files were still OK. I ran SysInternals Process Monitor. When I push the scan button, a thread is being created for stisvc.exe. But all the thread does is RegCreateKey, RegQueryValue (4 times), RegCloseKey, and Thread Exit. The query values look right. They reference HKL…

My friend has a Dell laptop without CD or floppy drives. It has a 2.5" drive that I can connect to my computer using a USB adaptor. It needs Windows reinstalling on it (2000 not XP but that's not important - I am running Windows XP). I am guessing the only approach (other than PXE) is to copy the Windows CD onto the hard disk, boot it to DOS and run the setup program from there. The only problem is getting that hard disk to boot once it is back in the computer. I have no way of doing fdisk /mbr (on NT equivalent) to the 2.5" disk to make it boot. Windows software does not seem to have this capability - I have to boot using a Windows Floppy Disk and that does…

I have 2 hard drives in the same computer. Each has it's own copy of XP installed. It's a dual boot system. I would like to erase one drive and just use the disk for storage. Is this a simple task? My main disk is formatted NTFS. The one I want to erase is FAT32. Could someone give me a step by step procedure? Google gives answers for dual boot with different OS's. Thanks for any help.

Hi: Everytime I try to open an attachment in Outlook I get a pop up window asking me to open a program to get an executable file. I have Window XP Professional and Office 2003. What upgrade should I get or do I need one to open these files? Any help would be appreciated. Max

I've read a couple different threads on this, never really found a straight answer to the question: Is there any ADVANTAGE to running an HTPC with Vista64? In other words, is the media center app coded to take advantage of the big addressing or no? Thanks!

In addition to the standard A & C drives, I have an additional HD partitioned into drives D & E, plus I have 2 additional removable disc drives F & G. Occasionally, I add an external HD (USB) for backup purposes. Initially, the external HD was set as the H drive. Somewhere along the way, my comp decided this drive should be the I drive, and added a new mysterious removable drive which it decided to call H. The H drive now insists I should inset a disk every time I try to do something with it. How do I get rid of this H drive, and get my external back to being the H drive? Win XP SP2 Dave

On approximately 5 of our Production IBM blade 8832's we get this error occasionally. No matter what I have tried it keeps logging these every 10 seconds. Restarting the server resolves the problem, but obviously this is less than ideal. According to the conventional wisdom I can find this is due to disk performance counters being turned off. This being a 2003 server, my understanding these are always turned on. Any assistance regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

does anyone know why i can't type in text boxes on web sites; i also get #30 error message ,unspecified error when trying to do system restore. thanks

My Help dialog box for any program won't show up. It started when I had a question in AutoCAD, so I hit the F1 key. The Help dialog box didn't show up. So I went to Word & the help dialog for Word woudn't show up their either. So then I clicked on Start/Help and Support & that one didn't show up either. So I restarted my machine & that didn't fix the problem. I'm running Xp SP2. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks

I have Windows Server 2003 and am monitoring with a counter log. I should be able to look at the current log even while it continues to add data. I was able to do this before. However, I wanted to change something in the log - remove a couple counters - so I changed that and then waited. Even though it is running and adding an entry every 5 minutes, it does not seem to actually write out to the file. I stopped the counter log and restarted it to see if that would fix it. After I stopped it, the log file did have data in it. The new log that was started still does not have any data in the file after a day. What's going on here? I don't want to have to stop …

What is the better option: 1. to upgrade the current processor or 2. to install a co-processor (motherboard capable)? The model installed is an AMD Duron M3 (Spitfire). It has nothing to do with WinME, but to keep this NG alive. Harry.
