Couldn't find a Media Player group, so I'm asking here. I enabled visualizations in WMP9 just to see what's available, and now I can't find a setting to turn them off. I restored my registry with ERUNT's recovery program and "fixed" it that way. Is there a way to disable the visualizations from within WMP? -- Zilbandy

I had to reinstall XP Pro recently and now when I save a file using Save As I am given a dropdown list of files to select from based on what I have typed so far but does not autocomplete to the first file in the list - it used to do this in my previous installation and all I had to do was either press enter to select the autocompleted file or click on one in the dropdown list. Is there a setting somewhere which needs to be activated?

My Pictures folder has just recently become empty - where have all my pictures gone? I did not delete them, the recycle bin is empty and searches even for *.jpg etc come up nil. However If I open the My Folders folder and type in a subfolder name in the address bar e.g. add to c:\Documents and Settings\Default\My Documents\My Pictures\ "Animals" or "Cars", or "Boats" or any other name I can remember Abracadabra the pictures suddenly appear. If i use DOS and try the same I get no such folder even a DIR will get a nil result. So I now know that the pictures are there but My Pictures folder does not show any of them. I have reset the defaults on the folde…

I posted this topic awhile ago after setting up my sister's computer and the Microsoft update site still continues to stop at the point of checking her computer every time I try and use it. I've tried on my computer at home with no problems whatsoever so it can't be Microsoft as some pointed out. I've checked her settings and they all 'seem' to be fine although they are set a medium-high default. In addition A-Squared won't scan for updates either saying that either she doesn't have a computer connection or proxy settings set. How do I set those or do I need to? Her computer connection is up and running by the way as all other programs function fine, e.g. Spybot…

I'm running XP Home SP2 and all updates installed, no virus activity or malware (according to Norton AV, Spyware Doctor, or Spybot). Ican get usenetnet and emails but.....

I can't get any web page, nor can I get Windows update. I also tried going into advanced options and clicking reset, but again, nothing it tries to loaded the runonce page but never get anyware. I use Zonealarm for a firewall but there's no problem with that it permits IE, I even disable ZA just to make sure. A…

Dear Sir, After using Window XP (Home Edition) with SP2 for the last 3 years, I find that the following problem always happen. After booting or in the midst of using MS Outlook Express and Internet Explorer 7, the program becomes unresponsive and need to send error messages to Microsoft. I always hope that in someday after certain MS Window updates this problem could be fix. So far it did not happen. At time I sent up to 25-30 error messages as I could not end the program. During this situation I always have to off my PC manually. May I know if there is a way to overcome this problem ? Kind Regards Low Seng Kuang Malaysia -- A36…

Hi, I am running DOSBox, it runs fine on my NTFS partition but it causes windows xp to check harddisks everytime the computer boots again after I run windows 3.1 So I decide to partition a small FAT area for my windows 3.1 Without resorting to 3rd party tool like system commander, is it possible to create a small FAT drive when all of my other drives are already partitioned.. Thanks for any hints Jack
