XP X64 & https:\\
by Guest io- 2 replies
- 401 views
Hello: I recently went to make a purchase online & found that the page where my credit card info was required did not appear to be secure. In other words, there was no "https" in the address bar & no "lock" appearing in the toolbar. This page did contain a verisign insignia, presumably advertising its security. I declined the purchase and sent a note to the company regarding the "security" of their site. I received a message from them with a link to their secure ordering page, clicked the link in the email (using Outlook Express 6) and was taken to the same "insecure" site. I then copied $ pasted the link into IE7's address bar & was taken t…

Computer starts up OK but now leaves an error message on desktop, (The page cannot be displayed.......Cannot find server or DNS Error Internet Explorer). The message is in minimized view and cannot be maximized but can be scrolled. This has just started happening although the error message can be easily cancelled. Everything operates as normal except system has become extremely sssslllloooowwwww. I've had no reason to alter the settings in internet options but have checked them anyway and can't find anything out of place. I have also reset settings to default, but still the same. I'm running '98 SE. Cheers Graham

Don't want "Open With" window when opening .wav files
by Guest Dan McGarigle- 5 replies

When I open a .wav file I get a window titled "Open With" and it presents "Recommended Programs:" that has a list of four (4) programs - ATI Multimedia Center - Cool Edit 2000 - iTunes - Windows Media Player and I have to choose one of them to open a .wav file. But I want .wav files to always be opened only by Cool Edit 2000. How to I stop the "Open With" window from appearing so that only Cool Edit 2000 will always be started to open a .wav file ? Thanks !

Can't get past safe mode
by Guest Steve T- 5 replies
- 298 views
Gateway XP SP-2 started having boot problems. No new hardware and only new software was latest Windows Update in July. I was able to boot using "last known good configuration" but no more. And "Start Windows normally" does not work. Monitor just stays at black Windows XP and does not advance to "Starting Windows" blue screen. I went to Device Manager in Safe Mode and there are no yellow question marks. System Restore is turned off, don't know why; and cannot enable unless I start Windows normally; which I cannot. I have ERUNT software but going back 10 days and restoring that registry configuration does not help The PC does not have a 3.5" floppy drive …

"open with" menu problem - THE CURE
by Guest Uncle Grumpy- 3 replies
- 267 views
A month or so ago, I mentioned that I was having a problem with the right-click "open with" menu only listing 3 items and no more - regardless of the type of file I was trying to open - just white space where the additional choices should have been listed. No fix could be found, tho' a couple of MVPs tried valiantly to help. Well, quite by accident I found the fix. I recently went into the registry and deleted all the crap Winzip and a host of other programs had added to that menu - VOILA!!! That menu now works as it should.

Files still in C:\RECYCLER that were deleted from Recycle Bin
by Guest BlastOButter42- 5 replies
- 282 views
I was defragging my hard drive and I noticed that some of the files that it couldn't move were in C:\RECYCLER. Turns out it's two humongous video files I thought I'd deleted a long time ago, but were still lingering there along with a bunch of other stuff. I can't get to the folder in Windows Explorer, and I tried the method at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229041 but it didn't work (I'm not sure if I have the right original directory for that). This is taking up nearly 3GB. Is there some way to delete them?

My computer has booting problem recently but not sure is that related to what I did recently: - I have 2 SATA harddisk in internal mobile rack, 3rd SATA disk not in mobile rack. - 1st harddisk SATA with Win2K and Xp dual boot in C: and D: respectively. - then swap the 1st and 2nd harddisk - install Vista on 2nd harddisk So that I can boot into XP/Win2K or Vista by swapping the 2 harddisk ideally. Now I got a problem, most of the time the BIOS does not boot up, always give me non system disk failure.
