Two weeks ago I posted a question about how to replace my C: drive with a larger one. I got many good replies (thank you), one of which was to go to the mfg's website and download cloning software. Since I wanted to install a Western Digital (which I already have, and have been using it for external storage), I went to the WD website and downloaded their Data Lifeguard Tools. After unzipping and reading the tutorial/info, I'm not sure this is what I want. It never uses the word 'clone', the nearest thing is 'Drive-to-Drive Data Copy' It would seem I need to do a little more than just 'copy' my current C: drive onto another HD. Am I missing somethin…

My XP computer contracted a trojan called Antivirus XP 2008 which deleted tabs on the Display Control Panel Applet. The tabs are "Desktop" and "Screensaver". The other tabs are OK. Any way to restore these tabs? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Hello I need to reinstall my OS so I removed the HD from my fairly new HP Pavilion and attached it my notebook via an external USB enclosure. I then combined several existing partitions using Norton Partition Magic. Tested for surface errors, unhid the drive, formatted it and reinstalled it in the Pavilion. Using an original XP disk, no SP I attempted to install the OS. Just after all drivers, etc are loaded the screen turns blue with a halt error specifying pci.sys. I have removed every PCI component including memory and tried again with the same results. I am looking for instructions for 2 things. First to solve the problem, can I remove the HD, at…

I have a Dell Dimension with on-board NIC. I was having network problems and added a new Linksys 10/100 NIC. All of a sudden I started getting the Windows error screen indicating the system had recovered from an error. When I click to find out more about the error I get a screen that tells me the problem was caused by a 10/100 Ethernet Adapter (an983.sys) by Infineon - AMDTek. I have two choices: - Run Windows Update - Fo to Infineon - AMDTek web site and up drivers I've done both, Windows Update finds nothing. I went to Infineon website and downloaded AN983 drivers and ran Update Drives from Device Mgr on Linksys card since that is the one I just insta…

I recently installed Windows XP on my computer, together with the associated programs Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I notice when I use the spell checker in Outlook Express, it wants to correct words to French. I went to Tools/Options and then selected the Spelling tab. However, in the Language section, the only language available to me is French. What must I do to change this to English (United States)? -- Don

I am running XP SP2 OS-NT. I set a desktop theme and when I log off, Windows saves my settings. I log on and everything boots up OK with my custom theme on the desk top. Then after a few seconds, the Gateway logo screen replaces my custom theme. I have searche everywhere for the file to delete it without any luck. How do I stop this annoyance?

I am having trouble installing a prog (Pinnacle Studio 12). I cannot do it in normal mode so I tried safe mode. In safe mode with admin, I get the message that policies have been set to prevent this installation. However, this is the only prog that I have this issue with. I can install any other prog in safe mode without problems. I am running XP + SP2. The computer was never part of a domain and I am the only user (private computer). I tried logging on with my user account (admin) and the default Admin account. No success with either account. Any suggestions?

Some installed software shows under Belxxxxx Analyze, but it does not show under XP Add/Remove Program under control panel. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to collect installed software accurately? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric

i am using an emachine, which only came with a system recovery disc. the only solution ive found for this is to run command line commands, however i cannot get into any form of DOS command prompts seeing how my recovery cd only gives me two options, full destructive reformat or backup reformat. ive done both of these and still get the same error. any advice?

I have a machine running XP home that has stopped showing the icons on the desktop. If I look in Windows Explorer, the programs/shortcuts I want are all under Desktop, and, if I try to copy a file from there to the desktop screen, I'm told it can't do it because the source and destination are the same. Show Display doesn't affect this problem at all. Thanks in advance, Bill
