I have two file types which I treat the same because I accept both in an applicaiton I built. So the file association settings are exactly the same for both extensions and are actually set at install time by InstallShieldExpress. When I double click on a file of type1, the file is opened in my application correctly. For file of type2, nothing happens, but right-clicking and choosing to Open With... produces the proper results. What I have checked is the file association. And to add to the mystery, this problem only exists on one of a group of computers I have. On other computers, everything works right. So, my file doesn't open when double-clicked…

how do you stop check disc from running at start up as it can take up to 45mins to start.jerry

I had inadvertently "restored" some folders/files from my Vista installations (Common Files, Internet Explorer folder etc) to a folder in my XP installation. Unfortunately I cannot delete these files or folders - the message I get is "Access Denied". I've tried to change the attribute of these files but am not allowed to do that either. I'd like to get rid of these folders which are occupying quite a large space on my hard disk and would appreciate any help.

My daughter has a system that when you boot it up and it is asking for the password, you can type it in on the keyboard, but after Windows XP starts, you can not input anything from the keyboard. You can launch programs using the mouse, but nothing with the keyboard... why?

Lost disk (0), broke mirror, replaced the drive and rebuilt the mirror. But the drive will not boot without the help of my Fault tolerant disk. Disk (0) has c: as active partition and I have all the proper files and boot.ini set correctly. I've read and done everything in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/119467 & 120227 but still cannot get it to boot. Using the diskpart.exe utility it shows C:\ as active on both disk 0 and disk 1. I also booted to the windows 2000 startup and did a repair with the ERD, having it inspect startup and boot. Still no luck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

About two days go, my file menu started flashing in a super-fast loop in Firefox. The same problem occurs in all other programs. The "flash" looks as if I'm pressing the alt-key about ten times per second. As you can imagine, this is terrorizing my ability to type a message; even this posting is taking forever to type. Pointing/ clicking is not sufferring, just typing due to keyboard shortcuts being activated by the momentarily-dropped file menu Is this a known malfunction? infection? Is there a fix? It's really impossible to just work past it. Thank you, -Mark Gaffney

I need to take day the current radius server and replace it with server 2003 with rras. The old server is fedora. Is there a way to import the users?

I'm running 3 computers on a hardwired LAN, two of the systems are in a remote location and the third is local. I frequently connect to my remote systems via "remote desktop". When these systems are not needed, I shut them down remotely with the run command called shutdown. However, I must go to the remote location to power them back up - can't do a wol. In order to conserve power and not have to shut these systems down entirely, I decided to enable the system standby mode (S3) on the two remote computers. This seems to work ok and the computers do wake up when I tap their keyboard or move their mouse. What I'm now trying to do is use th…

I am backing up My Documents to an external hard drive. I installed ntbackup from my Win XP Home CD. However, the icon it backs up to does not look like a folder. Am I better off just dragging the folder over instead of using this utility? Also, how do you import if from the external disk if I ever had to? Thanks, John

Yesterday I read some Microsoft tips and one which I did I'd like to reverse. It said you could hold Ctrl key down and double click the toolbar and your window would become full size of your screen(toolbar would disappear), to get it back you just raise your mouse up to it and all would come back for a short time. Since doing this my mouse has started to jump around and become sluggish(for a short time when going to the toolbar), How can I reverse this action? I could not find anything about it, I don't believe its spyware doing this, I just got pc back from pc tech's which cleaned all up plus I have run Adware and Spybot.

How do I transfer file between my desktop and laptop? Can I use USB to USB cable? What kind of program do I need? Thank you.

Computerized voting systems (aka DREs or Direct Recording Electronic) must be based on an operating system, for example, Windows or Linux. Linux has the advantage of being open so that all the source code can be open. Windows source code will not be opened to anyone. Some people have argued that the basic Windows operating system can remain secret as long as the voting application program (i.e. C, Python, etc) is open. Here are some questions about such an arrangement. 1. Could someone tamper with the Windows OS or put in some additional code that would not be found in an inspection of the application program that could alter the results? 2. Could vir…
