I have just got a new PC, and had the hard drive in my previous PC copied over to the new one. It runs Windows XP Pro and Office Pro 2003 Windows Updates has downloaded 77 updates but they wont install. My Previous PC was fully up to date, so I am a little puzzled as to why there are so many updates to install in the first place. I have installed the current versions of Windows Advantage and also Windows Installer. After doing this it appeared that all the updates except 4 of them had been installed, but i cannot find them and when I rebooted my PC it seems I am back to where I started. Please can anyone offer some help on how to solve this problem…

Hi All, Does anyone know how to resolve the following fault? I recently installed McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 & SiteAdvisor, & my PC seems to be running OK, apart from the expected slow down with this extra security running. However, I recently noticed a problem when I try to delete my browser history under internet options, as the process seems to hang on deleting history, until I open Task Manager to end the process. I have also noticed that when using IE7, an Hour Glass icon keeps appearing on screen every second or so next to the mouse arrow? I really do not understand what the problem is, as everything has worked OK for a co…

XP Pro with VMware
by Guest pilot- 2 replies
- 224 views
am currently running XP Home as the OS for my computer, but need to install XP Pro in order to get IIS as this of course does not come with the home version of XP. So I have installed VMware 5.5 in a folder on the hard drive and have extracted the files. Fine so far! Then have created a new virtual machine and installed XPPro. On starting XP pro from within the VMware control panel the first time this appears to work and it opens and runs Pro as it should. However if I close this down and start XP Pro up again either on the second or third time it takes an age to load up and when it does I cant find the IIS connection. If I go to the Run command and type M…

Temporary Internet Files get removed automatically
by Guest Optimus- 7 replies

Hi everyone, I currently have a problem with the temporary internet files. They've been getting removed automatically everytime after I shutdown my laptop. Also, when I'm running my winxp overnight til the nextday, it always happens like that. However, I'm not so sure that the cause of the problem comes from virus. My Labtop have been infected with viruses long time ago, but they've been removed. One important thing, I didn't change any option under the internet explorer's menu. What would I need to do to get it back to the normal stage? Thanks in advance,

I'm having a strange problem. XP 64 Bit is not seeing the drives attached to my adaptec 29160N card In disk manage ment it reports the disks as disk 0 and disk 1, and "flashes" the information in the disk - its very quick but I can see the disk information (looks sort of correct) for the brief portion of a second it is show.

I've only seen one error message in the event log. Source: VDS Basic Provider. Description: Unexpected failure. Error code: 57@01010018 I tried a clean install of XP 64 bit an…
