    - Speed of voice playback I recently had no sound on my XP, uninstalled the driver and ten rebooted. Windows recognised new hardware, loaded new (and different) driver and sound was restored to me! Pretty good, and I'm a non techo in his mid seventies. Current problem is that I now have Windows Media 11 but when I play sound clips(speech & Video) from the internet the voices are high pitched ie play slightly too fast although still intelligible. Can any of you stars out there give the old guy some advice, pointers?? Thanks -- Peter Bell Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 227301

    - user defined keyboard shortcut Is there a way for me to define a new keyboard shortcut under winXP? There's times when I go through so many key/moustrokes to a certain website etc. that I sorely miss it. For example: Google has this excellent new translate tool in therr Labs beta (http://translate.google.com/translate_dict?q=&hl=en&langpair=en%7Cde) . I frequently need it when I'm, say, typing a paper in word or an email in Thunderbird. Its a pain to have to go thorugh: Open Firefox->Google Bookmarks-->Search for the translate tool -> Go to it and add my phrase. If I could do a (say) Ctrl+Alt+GG and get there from anywhere , it'd be awesome! Any ideas or similar hacks for this issue? -- Rahul Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 227293

    - Help with error message..missing file I am trying to do a full recovery on my pc. I run Windows Xp. It loads to the full recovery and then before it gets to the menu(for full destruction) it comes up with a blue screen that says can't load file \system root\system32\config\security because its corrupt , absent, or not writable. Windows starts up fine and goes to desktop fine it just won't allow me to run recovery. I looked in system folders and that file is there so I don't know how to fix it so I can do a full recovery . and help would be appreciated. Thank you Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 227286

    - Event Viewer Errors?????? I've got XP PRO telling me in Event Viewer that there is a bad block on my drive D disk. However when I use Check Disk to check the entire drive, it tells me that there are NO problems with the drive. Why would XP be telling me about a bad area on the disk when there is none? What else could it mean? Most importantly, why is XP trying to write to my drive in the first place when I don't have it set up to? Thanks for any and all replies/suggestions/comments.

    - Abnormally High CPU Usage with No Running Applications There is some unknown program running on my laptop that uses 80% and higher CPU power even with no applications running. The "performance" graph in the Task Manager shows this along with random "spikes" to 100%. The cursor pointer will "freeze" for 6 seconds during these spikes and streaming music via Rhapsody will stutter for 6 seconds. I've enlisted Microsoft Software Support help for $239 which has run spyware and virus cleaning programs along with defragmentation, disk check, clean up, removing start-up and unneeded programs yet the problem persists.

    - SFC demands XP Pro CD2 with XP Home installation The system is Home Media with SP2, and SFC demands XP Pro CD2. I have followed directions from MS Knowledge Base article 897128 (several times) to copy the I386 file, edit the Ims.inf and Fp40ext.inf files (change Professional to Home), and change the registry to point to the I386 file. Still demands XP Pro CD2. Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Charles Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 227272

    - defragmenter is not working "greyed out" I have windows xp home edition. I have been trying to defrag my hard disk now for a few months but the box keeps coming up "greyed out" showing the bars etc with no instructions visable and the buttons won't respond. I have tried various ways to cure this problem including "disk cleanup" and starting in safe mode etc, but without success. I am reluctant to reinstall windows xp in case it will lose important work / files /software on my computer. Is there another way to make my defragmenter system work? Any help and advice would be much appreciated. -- plato Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 227260

    - HDD thrashing with very long file coping times HI all, whenever i try to copy a file onto my hard drive, the HDD shows intense activity and the copy times go up exponentially.this happens when doin copy-paste operation from one folder, on the same drive to another, copying from a usb drive and copying from the lan network(the transfer speed from the network is around 1.5 Mpbs, there is no issue with the network itself but jsut my terminal.) also when windows is booting there is again intense HDD activity and it takes around 5 minutes to boot up to the login screen.The same occurs when i login to windows with my account. i have tried scanning my notebook for viruses(symantic enppoint portection with updated definitions), turned off system restore,turned off indexing service and automatic disk defrag.ive also tried to shut down all the extra startup programs but the problem remains.Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

    - workstation disaster recovery - disk imaging? Hello, I've been running small networks for enough years to recognize that I spend too much time wiping hard drives clean and reinstalling their OS. Maybe it's only every three or four years, but it's an hours long process, what with all the updates & patches. Now I'm exploring ways to improve this process. I'm considering disk imaging software (like Acronis True Image and Norton Ghost), and wondering about XP's System Restore. Is XP's System Restore reliable, and can I make a restore point after the initial, clean install, and keep that restore point? Is that as effective as wiping the hard drive clean, and copying a ghosted image of that initial clean install? If I use disk imaging software, do I need to take a complete copy of the drive, or can I just somehow copy pertinent drivers and operating system files? I'm wondering about the space implications, and where this info is stored. I gather that many new PCs come with a hidden partition which contains some mysterious recovery utility? But what use is that, if, after a few years, the hard drive dies? If the hard drive dies, then I suppose an image of that drive would be useless, unless it's replaced by the exact same model number? In a network of 25 workstations, which would be more sensible: Get enough external harddrive space and disk imaging software, make & store images of all the workstations, then if something gets corrupted/infected/otherwise bogged down I can just restore the good image? Would it be better to use server storage space for this? Or am I okay relying on XP's System Restore? So many questions... Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might share!!

    - help with freeze up? i have a suite of programs i have been trying to open. they/it freezes up when started and i have to shut windows down manually and reboot. when i uninstall the program and reinstall it, i can open it repeatedly without problem. if i reboot and try to open it it refuses to open and freezes the desktop again and i have to uninstall it and start over. someone suggested changing the compatibility of the program and i changed it to windows 98 and tried to start it and it worked without a new install, but then when i rebooted my computer and tried to open it, it went back to freezing the desktop. something must be happening to the program during windows shutdown and start up? ive had this group of programs for a few years and they have worked great up until recently. my computer is pretty empty so theres plenty of room. i have windows xp home sp2 fully updated, windows defender, spybot, spysweeper and others, + zone alarm + avg anti-virus. ive done registry cleanings. i wanted to do a restore back to before i had these problems but restore will not work. i deleted ie7 awhile back i dont know if thats the cause for restore not working? im trying to avoid a destructive restore but i need my programs.

    - After using Add/Remove, now system won't boot properly Someone I know who has a Windows XP Pro desktop computer has AOL running on it with McAfee Firewall (which is apparently tied in with the AOL). Recently, because of some access problem, the McAfee Firewall had been set to "Allow All". (There are three settings, "Allow All" programs to access the internet, "Filter" (selectively allow some but not others), and "Allow None"). Later, it was decided that "Allow All" would be too hazardous and that it should be set instead to "Filter". After this was done, it was discovered that no internet access at all was occurring. When the McAfee Firewall icon was launched, a pop-up window would say something like "Would you like to turn on the McAfee firewall service? Yes/No". When "Yes" was clicked, the box would vanish but reappear about three seconds later. When "Yes" was clicked again, the box would again vanish only to reappear about three seconds later. So there was apparently some infinite loop, and the only way to dismiss the box was to click on "No". But of course, this meant still no internet access. (The DSL internet line, by the way, was OK. If we plugged it into an alternate computer, we were able to access the internet just fine). Then we had the idea of uninstalling the McAfee Firewall. We went into the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs and specifed uninstall of the McAfee Firewall as well as a few Windows Live programs. When we restarted the computer, the bootup process got to the point of displaying the blank desktop with its textured background and was about to place the program icons on it but didn't actually get to that point. It instead just displayed the blank desktop and that was it. (There was no taskbar at the bottom of the screen and therefore no Start Menu button). There was a mouse arrow which would move if the mouse was moved (but there was nothing on the desktop to click on). If we did Ctrl+Alt+Del, a Task Manager would eventually appear after some long delay, but when we clicked on "Shut Down", a box came up saying "Ending EXPLORER" but it didn't complete and we had to click on "End Task", which left us still on the blank desktop. We were able to shut off the computer only by pressing the power button and holding it in for about 10 seconds. We then tried booting up in Safe Mode with Networking. Similar to before, the black desktop was displayed with nothing on it except the "Safe Mode" captions along the edges of the desktop, but no program icons on it and no taskbar at the bottom of the screen. As before, the only way to turn off the computer was to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds. I'd normally think of running System Restore, but how would I do that under these circumstances? If I knew the .exe name and path of System Restore, I could try to run it from the Task Manager's "New Task (Run)". Does anyone know the .exe name and path of System Restore? Does anyone know what else could be done? ... Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 227181

    - XP Backup - All Network Devices/Files Greyed Out I have been running XP Backup for several years. It has been backing up My Documents from several XP and Vista boxes on my network. I did a Full backup and then Incremental backups each night. Every few months I redo the Full backup and restart the process. This week I added a new box to the network, went to XP backup to change folders that were being backed up. Well, much to my surprise backup could not longer see any of the devices on the network. All network computers are greyed out and you cannot even open them to see the drives, folders, etc. All of the folders to be backed up are shared and can be seen for the system running backup.

    - Windows XP frozen and safe mode freezes also-have unsaved files! H Hello! I have Windows XP 2005 Media version and I use AVG for virus protection. My computer is approx 18 months old and under warranty but I am not getting any help over the phone and that is all they are offering at this point. I have files saved on my computer that I had not backed up and do need to recover if I at all can. I have a flash drive ready to do that! Trust me when I say I have learned my lesson and I don't plan to save anything directly on my computer. I will use CDs and Flash Drives to maintain my files for when I need them. My computer was working fine until approx 1 week ago. When I turned on my computer, it froze (locked) up. I was able at one point during the day to get the computer to let me open up in safe mode. I performed Check Disk and it told me that the volume in C was dirty. It proceeded on to check the rest of the disk. However, when it completes and goes to the log in page and I clik on my icon, the system freezes up. Now I cannot even open up in safe mode as it freezes (locks) up in safe mode as well. Today,I called Dell as my computer is still under warranty, and was told she could help me to do a system retore and I would lose all of my files, etc. She advised that first I contact a local repair person to get them to help me to back up my files and then call her back to complete the system restore. I couln't get any other info or help and ended the phone call more confused and stressed. I have many files that I have not backed up on any other source and I know I should have done so all along. I have been able to do the F12 and all the tests pass. If I do F8 and go to prev safe configuration it will bring up the sign in page, but freezes up when I click on the icon and try to input my password. What is causing this? Is my drive corrupted? How can I fix this without losing all my files? I need my computer desparately and need your help even more. I opened the computer and cleaned it out. It still freezes up. I am at a loss and desperately need help! I am not very computer illiterate when it comes to the this type of technical part of a computer. I follow directions well and am eager for some help to get my computer fixed soon! I hope I have given enough info for someone to be able to help me fix my computer if at all possible!

If you've got the old-style menus (File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools,
etc.), go under "Tools," then about the third selection down is "Pop Up
Blocker." Turn this on, and/or adjust your settings and it should prevent
most pop-ups.
