Help! For some reason my PPT 03 on my XP machince periodically show the task bar during a PPT show. Seems as something is scanning .... Advise?

When trying to open a file using the 'open with...' list (right-click on file, choose program to open with), nothing happens. I have had this problem only recently. The last time was with a *.txt file. I choose MS Word from the 'open with..' list, but the file won't open. MS Word documents (*.doc) will open by choosing any program in the list. Any idea why the text files won't open with Word using the open with list? Thanks

When checking msconfig ,everything is checked. When I choose what I want,everthing is OK until I go back in everything is checked again. Why is this happening? How can I cure this problem?

Today I suddenly have a new "pop-up" appearing on my computer when I turn it on, and it keeps reappearing no matter how many times I cancel it. It's asking me for a login and password, and I have no idea where it came from or what it is. It says it will take me to a website 67.228.53.115 and also has the url eagle-card.com on the pop-up. If I try to just enter that url in my browser, it won't go there because a password, etc. is required. Yesterday I updated and ran Ad-Aware by Lavasoft for the first time in a long time. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. But I was already sick of the regular pop-ups that appear when I first boot up, n…

A little over a week ago, my XP (HE) began to visibly slow down. For example, on startup the desktop icons would have the generic look and then slowly refresh one by one. And another example, when opening a program, it firsts displays partially and then the whole window comes up. So, I started to troubleshoot. First, I loaded Task Manager in an effort to see if any processes or applications were taking an unusual amount of resources. Nothing that gave me a hint there. Next I disabled indexing for searches, 'cause I thought maybe that was slowing things down (though I had indexing on prior to this and it never slowed things down like I'm seeing in my examp…

I have a machine that uses a Users running at the service level and am trying to map a printer shared off of a win98 computer that is part of our 2000 level domain. The machine that the service user is running on is not part of the domain. It is fairly heavily customized and seems to be having problems keeping the mapping. I can map the printer manually no problem but it doesn't seem to want to remember the password(even though we checked the box) and I can't access the keymgr so I can't set that to remember any passwords. Any Ideas?

I have found that if I have files on my Desktop and drag them to the Recycle Bin, they are not stored in the Recycle Bin. I have checked that the "Do not move files..." box in unchecked in the Recycle Bin properties, and the size is large enough. Thanks for any help

I want (but can't) restore the measure of the WE when opened. I used already Extra/Options/Display/Saving display options for every map... and closing the WE window with ctrl-click... (My language is not the English one, so you will excuse me if needed!?) Thanks!

Hi, I am having a very odd problem with FTP. Basically, it won't work. The FTP client seems to connect but then issues an error and no files appear on the remote server. The last time I needed to use FTP was in February of this year, and it worked fine. Now, when I try it, it goes nowhere. I have tried several different FTP clients and accounts, all with the same outcome. It is not a firewall problem; I run only Win XP Pro firewall and have tried it with that disabled + anything else that even MIGHT effect connections. I have tried it in Safe Mode with no success which makes me think it is not a conflict with another app - though I don't believe I have …

I read through many of the other inputs, but some of the links are no longer active. In the path bar the "Shared documents" shows up in the path bar as "documents". Initially, the path lead to some confusion when I was trying to find the missing documents folder that was in the path of file.

I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 on a Dell Dimension 4600 desktop computer. I have a downloaded update for Outlook that will not install. It keeps trying to install and fails every time. Also, when I try to uninstall a program, I get an error message that reads: “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.” I am running in normal mode, not safe mode. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this problem? -- Thanks, John

From one day to the next, I right click my desktop and go to properties and all I see is appearance, themes, and settings, NO DEKTOP TAB?!?! I can no longer "center," "tile," or "stretch," my photos for my desktop wallpaper. I have run numerous virus scans, they come back clean. I run ad-ware as well as spyware and what ever does show up I delete. Then restart my computer and the desktop tab is still gone. I tried to "system restore" back to when I know I had it, but there were no days and it wont let me go back a month. Please, please can someone tell me how to get this back? I am running windows XP...and my email is timothyra81@yahoo.com, please email me…

XP Pro OS would not load... it gets stuck at the splash screen (the blue bar keeps going for so long then it just reboots itself then the same thing over and over again). It wouldn't load into Safe Mode either. The hard drive light was on solid the whole time, not flashing. XP CD would not load so no further repair or adjustment can be done... the CD would start spinning but then stops, it wouldnt load. Any suggestions on repairing? Thank you!

Hello: Other than taking the steps below, is there anything else that needs to be done to allow for remote users to connect to Windows Server 2003 through Remote Desktop Connection in a "non-Terminal Services" environment? 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click System. 2. Click the Remote tab, click to select the Allow users to connect remotely to your computer check box, and then click OK. Thanks!
