Several years ago I purchased a new HP laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 as the operating system. I've downloaded the latest security files and service packs but my system always indicates "Media Center Edition 2002 SP3". However, the Microsoft Windows web site talks about a version called XP Media Center Edition 2005. Is this a newer version that must be purchased since I can't seem to upgrade to this edition. TIA

Hi all, I am running out of room on my C: drive on a Win2003 R2 server. I noticed in the C:\Windows folder there are a lot of compressed folders that whose name starts with $NTUninstall and I believe those are folders that Windows Update puts there. Is there a safe way to move those folders without messing up my server? It would be nice If I could get rid of them, as some of them are quite big. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I try to use my defrag and i get an error "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel" I have an emachine and it did not come with Windows CD, it just gave me a serial number for it. I do not know how to get this associated file. Any options besides getting a new computer? :-) Thanks

I am using Windows XP with SP3 and all recent updates. Also AVG antiviral program and have 4 partitions on my hard drive with one used exclusively for programs. Recently I noticed that almost all my folders were empty in one partition and encountered only one empty folder in an another partition. Otherwise the computer is running well without any problems. Using Acronis I reverted to a backup I had done on Feb 20th wondering whether some recent update or SP3 had caused this problem, but the folders are still empty. Is there any way to remedy this situation or recover the information and does this indicate a hard drive problem? Corrupted software? How c…

Hi: I am building a system for numerical computation. I am using a ECS P45T-A LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard with 4 memory slots and the OCZ 16 GB DDR2 800 Quad Kit. I would like to know in advance will Vista Ultimate SP1 be installable on this system? The reason I asked is that I read reports that Vista has a bug that prevents it from installing on systems populated with more than 2 GBs of RAM. The work around is to remove all but 2 GBs and then install, but clearly in this case that will not be possible. I also would like to imagine that this bug would have been eliminated with SP1. Thanks in advance, Pete

I want to uninstall my network card driver completely. I am using Win XP, I go to my device manager and uninstall the driver from there but when I reboot my system Windows loads the driver again. Is there some way that I could completely uninstall the driver and it doesn't get loaded when the system restarts?

I've read in this newsgroup that Windows should be reinstalled about every 2 years. As I wrote in earlier posts, the floppy drive on my computer has a problem--I think it's the controller--so I can't use a boot disk. The question is, after reformatting the hard drive, can Windows be installed from the cd without installing the cd drivers from the Win98SE boot disk? -- { : [|]=( DaffyD® If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

Hi all ! I'm trying out the new firefox 3.01 and have found out that this version has an annyoing limit of "one file at a time from one site" ! In other words, if there are like 20 files from a site, and I want to download them all using FireFox 3.01, I have to download the first file, wait until it is finish, before the second file is downloaded, and so on, and so forth !! Is there a way to enable FireFox to download _more_ than one file at the same time from a single site ??? Please help !! Thank you !!

Hi all. I have a windows 2000 server with sp4. It is my sql production server used by my company. SQL service use up 1.3GB++ ram base on my check on task manager. Services.exe use up about 400+MB ram which i find it unusual. My users are complaining their applications which connect to my sql server is very slow. I suspect it is caused by high mem utilization as free memory available can go as low as 10MB. I have checked the internet and have installed debug diagnostic tool on my server but do not know how to use it to check if there is something wrong with services.exe. Pls advise how i can use this tool or if there are better alternatives. Thks in advance…

We use ntbackup to back up our server each night. Normally this works fine but since introducing a remote access solution for staff it seems that if staff leave a server based program open on their workstations the backup system doesn't back the files up. This is beginning to get problematic as some important data is being excluded from the backup. Other than trying to make sure that staff close programs is there anything else I can do to make sure that the data is backed up successfully? Is there a way of automatically closing programs at a certain time? thanks in advance.
