I've been running the pre release versions of Hyper-V. I have downloaded the RTM version and when I try to install it I get the error "The update does not apply to your system". Any ideas why? My system hasn't changed. I have now uninstalled my old copy of Hyper-V, but I'm still getting the error.

OCR, scanning, Omnipage
by Guest Uncle Bill- 0 replies

Hello, Nuance (Scansoft) doesn't seem to support Omnipage 16 well. The initial install worked OK until six months ago. Since then I have failed to get one good OCR of a document. The program Omnipage 16 crashes in msvcr80 and msvcp80. I've tried putting the latest versions of those programs in the c:\windows\system32 directory, but that does not work

Slightly Off-topic but not way off?
by Guest ManyBeers- 4 replies

I have a Sony Vaio PCGFXA 47 notebook with WindowsXP sp3. The computer came with Recovery cds and not a WindowsXP cd. So there was no Recovery Console originally with my computer. However about 6 months ago I was at this website http://www.aumha.org/ and there was a procedure in a thread outlining the steps to installing the Recovery Console on any WindowsXP computer. I followed the procedure and I now have the Recovery Console listed as a boot option on my Boot.ini file. A few weeks ago i deleted Screenblast Sounforge&Acid; Photoshop Elements; and WinDVD from their default install locations on my C:\drive so I could make a smaller …

Had to remove an extra AOL program, but the Add/Remove stalls and says that there was an error and had to close (says something about app conflict in info sent to Microsoft). I believe that the program I wanted to uninstall is the problem, but not sure. Then I went to RESTORE my computer state to a previous time that was good, but it goes through all the steps to restore only to state that it is unable to restore to any previous date. What is going on? How can I fix these issues?

Can't modify folder details (XP 64-bit)
by Guest leeisme- 0 replies
- 113 views
When I have detail veiw selected, I go to View> Choose Details and select the details I want to be able to see, but no matter what I select (such as album title, artist, year, track number, etc) and click OK, it makes no difference. On the main folder at least the detail titles show up, but the details themselves don't, and for any subfolders, even the detail titles don't show up. All I'm able to see is Name, Type, Size and Date Modified. Thanks in advance for your help.

Starting applications on a maximized window
by Guest Tyler Durden- 2 replies
- 169 views
Some applications can't be started with its windows maximized, requiring a mouse click or keyboard shortcut (that is not always the same, since it changes with the language of the OS). Someone knows of a method, like a small portable freeware application, to create a command line that starts an application maximized? Try to start the Microsoft Computer Management Console maximized (compmgmt.msc). Thanks to everyone!

ATTN: Franc Zabkar, I have a specific M572 question, if I may...
by Guest thanatoid- 3 replies

Franc, I would really appreciate an answer to this simple question regarding the difference between the M571 (which you have so comprehensively discussed on the M571 site) and the M572 which I have. The M571 site talks rather casually about using AMD K-2 processors up to 450 or 500MHz, even though the "stated" max CPU speed of the two MB's is 300MHz. I now have the original Pentium 166MMX and I can certainly live with it, but I also have 3 AMD processors which could be put to better use than as mobiles hanging off the ceiling :-) I tried an AMD 333 and a 350 last night, and could not get them to work. (A shop nearby gave them to me for free :-) …

The mystery of the PCChips M572 motherboard connector for add-on USB "card"
by Guest thanatoid- 11 replies
- 892 views
Hi gang, I want to connect a Belkin 2xUSB port "card" to my PCChips M572 motherboard. The motherboard has a twin USB connector which has 2 rows of 9 pins, with one of the 18 pins missing. I have the manual, and the first two pins, facing back of computer, are marked 1 and 2. On the motherboard, /of course/, they're marked 2 and 1. But I don't think it matters, since I am pretty sure both rows are the same. The one "blank" pin is irrelevant, since it is where the S-Gnd connects, which I believe doesn't matter since 3 of the 4 configs in the Belkin manual do not even use that 5th pin. The Belkin card has 2 5-pin connectors and a very comprehensi…

Disk Scanning & Defragmentation
by Guest Penorama- 15 replies
- 429 views
I've been told during Windows 98 days that it's good to run Scandisk and Defragmentation regularly to keep the computer spick and span. Does it still apply to these days of Windows XP and Vista? As a matter of fact I carry out these maintenance measures every week, but would like to know their relevance in the present day software environment. Thanks.
