Standby mode worked _flawlessly_ for years, until I installed SP 2 last week. Now, when going into standby mode either manually or based on power management settings, about 25% of the time the following occurrs: the video turns off but the PC freezes with the fans and disk drives running. A reboot is necessary to recover. The SP 2 installation executed without any errors, and absolutely NOTHING, other than SP 2 having been installed (not even a screen saver) was changed. The BIOS looks like it's set correctly to auto detect hibernate or suspend. The PC in question is an Asus P4P800E mb, Radeon 9600, P4 3.0, 1 GB RAM. It is otherwise very stable and ru…

Hello I´m going to get a new wireless pci network card for my pc Intel 64 bit processor with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and i see that this device has compatible driver with Windows Vista 64 bit edition,so i don´t know if it´s compatible with my O.S. I suppose that this driver,being compatible with Vista64,is written for 64 bits O.S. but I´m not totally sure about the compatibility with XP x64 Edition. P.D:The network card is a Hercules HWGPCI-54 with Ralink RT2500 Chipset. Thank you in advance for your attention.

I want to remove this program but cannot find the uninstall and its not listed in the list? I tried to remove the directorys manually but it wouldn't let me? Is this anti virus software? What is it? I already have live one care. I have reason to believe this software is preventing me from running chkdsk and defrag. Any help much appreciated. check this page for the low down http://entkb.symantec.com/security/output/n2004060108192148.html

From the start menu, when I try to access the ( Help and Support ) menu, It does not do anything. There is a small disk light flicker, then absolutely nothing. Also in any of the MS Office products, in the About menu, there is a menu item for ( System Information ). I used to be able to view my system information with that. Now it too is gone. Just click it in any of the programs, and it is gone. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am printing an excel document using win xp and a usb cable connected to a Samsung ML-1710. The print preview shows everything is in its proper place. When the document is actually printed, a number of problems exist. These are, cutting off text at the bottom of page, omitting footer, moving the header to the left side of page and shifting text to the right slightly. I have reinstalled the printer driver and Samsung says it is a problem with the program used to print (excel). Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this problem?

I picked up an older computer with XP loaded, no source disks. Unfortunately the system frequently blue screens. I suspect some of the files are corrupted from viruses I caught and killed. Am I allowed to copy clean files from my personal copy of XP CD to this old computer? Owkmann

16-bit applications no longer run on my PC. This includes a part of Adobe Lightroom (!) that checks periodically for photos to download (apdproxy.exe). If it is attempted to run a 16-bit application, Windows reports the error: "NTVDM has encountered a problem and needs to close." Until recently, 16-bit applications ran OK. I'm not sure what caused this problem; it may have been installiing Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition, or it may be that this application uncovered the problem. I obtained hotfix 890076 from Microsoft and installed it with no errors reported. Per the associated knowledge base article, the files listed below are supposed to updat…

I have a Quantum fireball 15gig harddrive. It has been working fine as my master. I have another identical drive for my slave. Earlier I started my computer and it would not boot. I unplugged both drives, changed the cable, all the usual stuff. Booted from a floppy and Fdisk dont even see the drive. Thats when I noticed that if I plug and unplug the power connector while the computer is on, I do not hear it spin up. However, the slave drive has a noticable spin up sound. Obviously the drive is trash. Fortunately I had a backup from a few weeks ago and did not lose much. I am not booted from that backup. Anyhow, I'd like to see if I can make that drive …

My laptop goes into standby when I close the lid, so I want to change the power options. When I click on Power Options, I get the following: An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\powercfg.cpl",Power Options" When I go to this directory, the other *.cpl commands work (like accessibility and add and remove programs). This is on a ThinkPad T42. Any ideas?

Hello, I was very curious to perform my first 64 bit build with Visual Studio 2005. I am particularly interested in seeing the disassembly of the 64 bit (cpu) instructions =D However I was surprised by the following error message when trying to debug it (after having created a new target/x64 configuration setting): "Workstation service not started". Apperently this service is needed for debugging x64 applications ??? Why ??? I can run the executable without debugging. I shall now enable the workstation service if I run into any more problems I will let these two newsgroup know ;)>D Bye, Skybuck.

I'm trying to fix a PC that can't get the display above 640x480. The monitor is a viewsonic VE510b, which is listed 3 times under Monitor in the hardware list, and the display Adapters listed are Inet 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family, listed twice. I've tried clicking on Update driver on all these, and it can't find any better versions. When I do a windows update, it lists a driver for the monitor, but the update fails, with no reason given as to why. I can attempt to set the resolution up to 1024x700, but nothing changes, it just reverts back to 640. What should I look into at this point, replacing the video adapter?
