I just ran a registry checker that said I have 540 errors. The machine (A Dell Insprion 2200) has been slowing down over the last few weeks. Is there a free registlry cleaner that will do what needs to be done?

I work with persons with disabilities and want to use handwriting recognition on a trackpad with Windows XP Pro SP2 v.5.1 on a desktop. I am able to install handwriting on the language bar and use the drawing pad. However, even with Writing Pad or Writing Anywhere checked those applications do not load. Is there a way to use handwriting with WinXP Pro, rather than WinXP Tablet PC?

Greetings, I have noticed that when I check the users on this Windows XP SP2 machine, I do not see an Administrator account, but only other accounts with varying degrees of privileges. However, when I boot in safe mode, I can see those accounts exist, as well as an Administrator account. My questions are as follows: - How do you log in with the Administrator account during a regular boot? - What is its default password and how do you change it? Thank you.

Re: Prefetch question I've been actually deleting my prefetch folder a few, if not more, times a week. I had a feeling I might be doing something wrong, but it's been running soooo smoothly since I've been doing it and it's a brand-new computer and I was just mainly looking for an easy way for upkeep, and until now I ran into no problems. (Someone was working on my computer through taking control over it from another computer online) and I could see what they were doing and I asked if that was safe and he said yes and that whatever files needed to be there will restore themselves. But now I'm trying to upload my entire cd collection onto windows med…

Hello, I have a Dell 8600 Inspiron running WinXP/SP3. The laptop has a 60Gb internal drive, a DVD drive, and a USB external drive. The 2 disk drives are both single partition. I was checking the drives in disk management and noticed that the 2 disk drives didn't show their drive letters. The DVD drive letter was listed in the disk management window. According to the disk management window, the 2 disk drives are unmounted. But this can't be true because the laptop boots normally and I can see all of the drive letters when I open My Computer or Explorer. Is there some way that I can restore these drive letters in disk management? -- Thanks, Tony Fo…

Can anyone tell me how to make sure 'align to grid' is selected by default in windows explorer? I keep choosing it but then it knocks off again. Thanks -- Millie

After installing this patch set I'm no longer able to use my BT keyboard to log on to my PGP encrypted disk. PGP puts up a logon screen *before* Windows starts. This worked fine prior to this patch set. Now I have to open the laptop case, login to PGP, close the laptop case (to utilize the external monitor) and then everything's OK. This of course is quite a pain when using the laptop with external monitor and BT mouse and keyboard. Is there a workaround? TIA, Bill

Hello all, I installed SP3 the other day and afterward, I noticed that the address bar is missing from the task bar. Not only was it missing from the taskbar, it was also missing from the list of toolbars so I couldn't even turn it on. I love the address bar on the task bar. I use it every day. And now it looks like MS completely removed it with SP3. It looks like I have the option to add custom toolbars: Right-click Taskbar >> New Toolbar... >> New Toolbar (Choose a folder, or type an Internet address) dialog box. If I knew how to create a toolbar, I would just recreate it. Any pointers? Does anyone know of another address bar too…

My mate needs to use a very old CAD package that he last used on his old PC. His new PC has no floppy drive so I thought I would be able to help him by copying them. I loaded the prog onto my PC without any problem (it is on 3 floppies). I copied the installation discs so that I could put it onto a USB Stick or CD. I made him a CD - but he says that he can see the files - but when he clicks the set-up it stops due to not being able to open a particular file. What are the issues with this?

I have XP Home SP3 on a Toshiba laptop. I have a graphics driver problem that happens when I start WMP AFTER resuming from Suspend. The problem does not occur if I resume from Hibernate. I know how to make the laptop hibernate: press the Shift key and press the Suspend button. However, is it possible to configure that Suspend button (maybe through the Registry) so that instead of suspending it hibernates? Thank you JB

We are adding a computer to our Windows 2000 network. Have tried to map a drive but the new computer does not see the network computer. What am I missing???
