When I close my last Internet Explorer window and click on another program icon (or the Start Menu), the hour glass sits there for almost a minute and one-half (80 seconds) before the requested program starts. I am running a Pentium 233 MHz with 128 Meg of Ram. Is there a setting in Internet Options or elsewhere that I can use to try to fix this delay?

Hi, I am trying to do the right hting by completely backing up my harddrive to a removable hard drive. What I am aiming for is a complete and total back of the files that I currently have on the computer so that if my laptop hard drive finally took a crap on me, I could simply get a new hard drive for it, install XP on it again, and drag and drop the files onto the hard drive... I don;t know if what I said made much sense, but I think some of you understand. See, waht I've done to my computer is tweaked the he|| out of it to make it go REALLY fast, and I've got quite a few prgrams on it that I would prefer NOT to have to reinstall because I would be here …

Win XP, IE7 I get an unwanted automatic internet logon every time I start my PC. Using TCPIP view, I have ascertained that it could be caused by something called "System:4" The TCPIP view lists the process as follows:- System:4 TCP SN048816020001:microsoft-ds SN048816020001:0 LISTENING If I try to use process properties it won't allow. What is it, do I need it, and how can I stop it from automatically connecting to the internet? donwb

I use XP Home, SP2, and run IE7. For some reason, when I go to a site that I want to save in my Favorites list (http://www.google.com, or http://www.worldstart.com, for example), I do the pulldown from Favorites in the toolbar, and select 'Save To Favorites'. This seems to work, and I can return to my Favorites list in my Start menu and click on the site and return there....the problem is, it seems that after using some of these url's a couple of times, when I click on them i get a message that says, " The target "" of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet Shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct. " I don't know why …

I just got a message that XP was shutting down. When everything started back up everything seemed fine. About 15 min after the reboot I got a "system change detected" message from F-Secure. Everything still seems fine. Does XP store the information it displayed on the blue screen? How to I find it? Thanks BTW I have not installed anything on my computer in quite a while. I mainly surf the Internet and watch avi movies I have collected.

I am periodically getting a BSOD. I don't know when it happens because I am usually gone when it happens. The screen says IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Stop: 0x0000000A(0x00000008, 0,0000001C, 0x00000000, 0x804E68BB) I have read some articles but don't really understand what I should do about it. I have not installed any hardware, except a hp printer that I uninstalled the software and reinstalled. Please help! Thanks

Is there are way to lock the desktop with a password like in professional version if you need to leave the computer for a minute but don't want to shut down all of your applicaitons and log off? I find this very annoying that I cannot use a shortcut to a password protected screen saver like I used to in older version of windows. My son likes to push the buttons and stuff when I'm away from the terminal. :( Thx Tevi

we need to upgrade the 2 computers at our little office from xp home to xp pro. We bought the xp pro Upgrade at the store. (1) Does it only work on 1 computer? Do I need to get one for each of the 2 computers? (2) I read somewhere that we'll need the actual original xp home disc from each computer during the upgrade, is that true? (xp home was preinstalled on the computers and I don't know if we actually have the discs - we have the licenses). Thanks in advance for all youre help Owen

I suddenly "lost" the history of sent email, going back to Dec 2006. When I went to the problem log of my computer, I saw the following message: Catalog Database (1056) The version store for this instance (0) has reached its maximum size of 16Mb. It is likely that a long-running transaction is preventing cleanup of the version store and causing it to build up in size.

Searching reveals that boot.ini can be configured to boot different versions of Windows on separate drives: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1) \WINDOWS="Windows 2000" /fastdetect Is it possible to have Windows XP on one drive & Linux on another? I understand the need for copying the Partition Boot Record of whatever other OS I multiboot (I've done this with XP & the *BSD's on a single drive...), but so far I have unsuccessfully been able to accomplish multibooting on multiple dr…

If you right click on my computer, there is an option there to map a network drive. I have a website that I ftp data to all the time. Is there a way that I can map a drive letter to this ftp site (eg ftp://domain.com) using my username and password so that I can copy files to a drive letter to upload rather then using ftp? thx

I have configured my server to always ask for login information. The server is 2003 EE SP2. ( [Administrative tools --> Terminal services configuration --> Connections --> RDP-Tcp --> Logon Settings] Always use the following logon information: user name:{blank} domain:{blank} [x] Always prompt for password ) 1. How do I tell the Remote desktop connection client v6.0.6000 not to ask me for user name and password? (it will be ignored anyway) 2. I don't understand what is the use of that dialog, when the server offers a standard logon screen, so is there at least one advantage in using it? Thank You for any advices and answers! Geo…
