Hi All, I recently download some mp3s. I moved them to a different directory and tried to play them. They didn't play, so supposing that the were corrupted, I tried to delete them, but got an access denied error message. I closed all my apps and tried to delete them again. Same thing. So then I thought that there was an error in the file system, so I scheduled chkdsk to run and rebooted. It said that it was recovering lost files but gave no more info, but those files still don't work and still can't be deleted. Any ideas how I can clean up my file system?

My friend got a computer from his daughter which had belonged to her boyfriend. He has an attack program he can't get rid of. I tried some "stuff" to help him but he is set up to boot up in his own identity which doesn't have Administrator privileges. When I tried to switch to Administrator it wanted a password and he doesn't have it. His daughter is on the outs with her boyfriend and they're not speaking so getting the password is "difficult". He also did not get the Win XP installation CD that was used to load his system. Can another XP CD be used? I know a lot depends on whether it's an OEM or retail purchased operating system. Any ideas that…

Hello. Im using Windows XP home edition and I can't seem to log in to windows. My computer boots up fine and I am able to reach the blue log in screen. When I log in, however, I am given this error message: "The system can not log you on now because the domain "D3LSPT71" is not available." This seems rather strange. My computer was working just fine yesterday, and I didn't change any settings. But what's stranger is, I have never heard of this domain "d3lspt71". I'm not even on a network. It's just a personal laptop. Besides that, I'm using Home Edition. I thought that Home Edition couldn't access domains like that, because Home Edition's networking features…

What would cause a file I'm saving give me a message, "Windows cannot save the file because..." (the window is not large enough to read the rest of the sentence). If I do Save As... I travel to the directory and the file is no longer listed where it usually is, but is replaced by a .tmp file of the same size. Because the little Save As window that travels with the document has the correct name, I can save, but only via Save As. Can this be corrected somehow? dsg

When pointing to Start | Programs , most all the folders like Accessories, Avast, CCleaner, etc. have a yellow folder *blocked* by a square that appears to have a diagram on it. When displaying Folder Options, I see this diagram on the General Tab and *Use windows classic folders* is checked. I don't know what changed the appearance of these folders. There has to be a way to get such programs folders displayed just as *solid-yellow color folders*. I have tried just about everything and have not been successful to change them. Would appreciate any help. Thanks, Ed

Since the release of Windows Server 2003, I never have been able to get some result by using Dskprobe 2 v.10, the one included in WS2003 Support Tools. Up to the present, with the last release of Support Tools for WS2003R2 SP2, Dskprobe.exe has never been changed, I noted. Every time I tried to use it on IDE or SATA disks, dskprobe always gave me the same error condition: Physical Volumes -> Open Handle -> Read Sectors , no matter which starting sector I choose, I always get the popup error "The Parameter is incorrect" and the requested operation fails. Am I missing some trick ? I wonder that the version of Dskprobe2 released with WS2003 SP2 Sup…

When I run either ITunes or Printshop v20 my HP 2610 all-in-one printer goes nuts. All the panel lights flash and it becomes unusable until I remove the power cord and plug it back in. The same thing happens when I run the software from my HP notebook and my desktop computer. The printer is connected to both computers via a wired network. I have tried changing the network address for the printer numerous times without result. Anyone have any suggestions???? Thanks!
