Within the last day, my computer has booted with all my shortcuts grayed out on my desktop. This is also true for the panes of any windows that I open. Upon minimizing or closing these windows, my entire desktop, startup menu, basically everything becomes gray. It's responding slowly when this happens. My drivers are all up to date and I havn't installed anything recently that I think could make this happen. Help would be much appreciated.

Is there a way to check what's taking licenses? When I get to Admin tools>Licensing on an 2003SBS server it just tels me how many are installed and what's the maximum usage.

Hi: I'm running WinXP Home Ed, SP3. My pc has its own CD Burning software (Roxio) and works fine. But for simple tasks, like storing a file in a CD/CDRW I like using windows built in burning capabilities (Send to->CD). It also works fine, but I have noted that when I add files to a CD that already has some files, the newly added files are stored but burning wizard ends with an error: An error occurred when burning CD, delete files, store for later, or expulse CD?. However files are correctly stored... I can add more files to the cd and again the same error, but files are OK. So what's happening?

I updated my computer with the SP3 update today, and I accidently forgot to remove my flashdrive, since I had to backup my computer on it. I noticed it was still in the computer by the time the cleanup had started, since I had many other things going on at that time. When I restarted my computer and went to open some files on my flashdrive, I noticed they were gone, deleted. I know for a fact that the files were on the flash drive before the cleanup. I could have dealt with one or two missing files, since that happens sometimes if a program isn't closed properly, or the wrong button is pushed. But I have at least ten missing files, along with things that h…

Environment: Server: Windows 2003 Workstations: Windows XP SP2 I have roaming profiles setup, and all user accounts have a login script to xcopy files to their local machine. My issue is, I editted the login script to "REM" (without the quotes) the xcopy statement, but the xcopy still seems to try to xcopy these files locally. I'm assuming the issue is with the roaming profiles. Any ideas how to resolve this? I would like to stop the xcopy ... i even deleted the statement and it still tries to copy the files locally after a restart. Thanks in advance.

I’m sorry about taking so long to respond to Andrew E’s advice to me about my problem(Yet another “No Sound” problem on 8/8/2008), but there’s too much stuff at home & work distracting me. Uninstalling & reinstalling everything under ‘Sound, Video, and Game Controllers’ in the device manager gave the following results: Video & Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio & Video Capture Device, and Media Control Devices - these drivers disappeared and wouldn’t come back; Realtek AC’97 Audio driver - the device manager says that the driver is enabled but not functioning properly. Further probing into the AC’97 properties turned up the message that a WMD d…

I have had problems with Windows XP Pro64 not being compatible with my software. So much so that my nephew installed a virtual system on my computer so I can run these programs using Win 98. I am thinking about buying a MP3 player as I want to listen to audiobooks that I have downloaded (music also). I know absolutely nothing about MP3 players. My questions is: am I going to have problems downloading audiobooks, music, and videos if I am running Windows XP Pro 64?

A Desktop.ini file has appeared in My Recent Documents folder, but I don't know its original location, so I can't return it there, and I'm warned of dire consequences if I try to delete it. Can somebody tell me where its belongs? I run XP Pro/SP3, and here are the contents of the stray Desktop.ini file: [.ShellClassInfo] InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12692 IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll IconIndex=-21 LocalizedResourceName=@shell32.dll,-12691 *TimDaniels*

Anyone know why a Winxp laptop would take an extremely long time to copy large image files over a VPN network link? i.e. broadband connection, 5 meg file, 15 minutes? the same thing happens when connecting to a VPN network outlook.pst file for mail. It could take up to 25 minutes to send and receive mail in outlook 2007. Every other request takes normal time. Even after the Mfgr. (Dell) replaced the processor and memory.
