I was away for a week 3/28/08 to 4/4/08 and left my system on since I returned I am unable to open some web sites that I have been using in the past. I get the error message stating IE cannot display the webpage. this only happens on some sites. In some cases I am able get to the web site OK but when I try to access my accounts it fails. I have called the Account company's and they can access the account without error, indicating the problem is my system. Has IE 7 been updated while I was away and causing this problem?

    - XP Installation problems- please help! I have a laptop which was runnning Windows 2000 and I'm trying to install Windows XP on it. I did manage to get it on but I must have made some mistake somewhere as on startup it was giving me the option to boot into either XP or Windows 2000. Before explaining the current status I should just explain exactly what I'd like to acheive ideally. One hard drive (C) with the full amount of storage space (10GB) running Windows XP. That's it! Nothing more, nothing less. So I have tried to do a few things- deleting partition, re-installing XP and now I'm really confused! When I startup now, I get 3 choices from the boot screen: Windows XP Home Edition Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP Setup If I select Windows XP Home Edition it says: Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. COuld not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documemntation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information. If I select Windows 2000 Professional it gets me into Windows 2000. If I go to Computer Management>Disk Management there it reads: C: 5GB FAT32 - Primary Partition Unallocated 4.36GB Right-clicking on either of these doesn't give me an option to either delete or format. If I try Windows XP Home Edition Setup it says: Welcome to Setup To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER Insert the CD labeled Windows XP Home Edition CD ROM I then put in the disk and press enter. I then get the following screen: The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on this computer 9586MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MPR] C: Partition1 (VAIONOTE) [FAT32] 5122MB 979MB free Unpartioned space 4463MB If I press 'D' on C, it says: Setup is unable to perform the requested operation on the slected partition. This partition contains temporary Setup files that are required to complete the installation. 'D' doesn't work on the unpartitioned space. If try to set up on C, it says: The partition you have chosen is too full to contain Windows XP which requires a drive with at least 1033MB of free disk space. I also have the following options: To repair a Windows XP intallation using Recovery Console, press R To quite Setup without installing Windows XP press F3 So, what do I do????!!!

    - Problem opening a picture in an email I have two computers, each using Outlook Express 6 and WindowsXP Home. On each I tried opening a picture embedded in an email by right clicking the picture and selecting Save As. On computer 1, the file opens "Save Picture" and allows a normal save as JPEG. On computer 2, I get an error message. "Can't find the file specified". The help button identifies the missing file as c:\windows\sysyem32\mshtml.hlp I checked both computers' folders and find that each contains two files: mshtml.dll and mshtml.tlb. In other words, neither has the "missing" file. What's the explanation? -- PT Tag: Real Player Tag: 190243

    - Help -- My display type and icons are HUGE I was trying to install "incredimail" (an email system), but it looked like it was going to take up too much space so after installing it, I removed it to the recycle bin. Then when I restarted my computer later -- HUGE fonts, HUGE icons, HUGE screens -- I did try the "appearance" option but that didn't do a thing. It says mky font size is normal. I tried clicking on that again. Nothing. I tried changing the font size there to "large" and nothing happened. I read somewhere else about restoring -- should I try that? How do I do that? This is truly maddening as nothing fits anymore on my tiny 12" screen. Thanks, denise Tag: Real Player Tag: 190207

    - Installing new memoy / problem I have a Dell E310 running XP Media Edition. It came with 512M RAM and I've been trying for months now to upgrade. Dell tells me that I need DDR2 5300. I ordered three times from Crucial and each time as soon as I try to get into Windows I get the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). The most recent BSOD at the very bottom says: ialmdnt5.dll-address BF022387 base at BF0200000, Date Stamp 42dd45cb. There's lots more; I have a picture to send of the screen if anyone thinks they have an idea on what may be wrong. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. The PC is 2-1/2 years old and is getting very slow. Thanks, Steve Tag: Real Player Tag: 190200

    - Help please: cannot print using lpd I want to print files from a Linux (SuSE 10) system to an XP Home system with an HP printer attached. XP is fully up to date with SP2 and all subsequent updates. First, this is what *does* work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the XP PC (192.168.x.x): ---------------------------------------- 1. I installed sdilpd.exe (<http://www.bmtmicro.com/BMTCatalog/win/sdilpd.html> and set up the printer queue. 2. "netstat -a" confirmed that lpd was listening on port 515. 3. "telnet 192.168.x.x 515" confirmed that I could connect locally to the server. On the Linux PC: ----------------------- 1. "telnet 192.168.x.x 515" confirmed that I could connect remotely to the server. 2. I set up a printer, and printed successfully to the XP printer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Although everything worked exactly as I wanted, the snag is that sdildp is on a 30-day trial. Looking for an alternative approach, I discovered belatedly that XP appears to have built-in lpd support, so I uninstalled sdilpd and then did the following: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the XP PC: -------------------- 1. I set up the lpd server (Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services). 2. "netstat -a" confirmed that lpd was listening on port 515. 3. "telnet 192.168.x.x 515" confirmed that I could connect locally to the server. 4. I attempted to configure a printer, setting up an LPR port on 192.168.x.x. This failed, with the long error message stating that it could go no further. On the Linux PC: ----------------------- 1. "telnet 192.168.x.x 515" did not connect remotely to the server, and timed out. 2. Wireshark on the XP machine confirmed that the telnet connect request from the Linux machine did reach the XP machine, but the server did not respond in any way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOTTOM LINE: I am mystified as to why I cannot configure the printer on the XP machine, and why local telnet requests to the server work on the XP, but do not work across the LAN, even though I have already proved there is nothing wrong with the LAN connectivity. Ideas anyone? -- Ian Tag: Real Player Tag: 190186

I am running XP Professional SP2 with 1 GB RAM on a Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop. Most of my computer work is related to my photography profession. Naming files (& copying/moving them) in Windows Explorer is a major, required part of my work (I have over 10,000 photo files). However, recently Windows Explorer wonâ??t allow long filenames (e.g., over 12 characters). I frequently get a message that a filename is invalid or too long, even though I have been using/copying filenames equal or longer (e.g., 30+ characters) for the past two years. Also, when I try to copy/move an existing file (with a long filename) from one folder to another, Windows Explorer freezes & an error message indicates that it has â??encountered a problem & must shut downâ??. With regard to malware, I regularly use programs for detecting viruses (CAâ??s eTrust EZ Antivirus) plus CAâ??s spam control, the Microsoft â??Malicious Software Removal Toolâ??, ad-ware, etc. Please advise!

    - Aging XP I have a 4 years old laptop with WinXP/2. Things have started to go wrong.

Google Earth installed OK on my tower (XP) and on my wife's Vista laptop. These are just 2 examples. Question. Is it possible to reinstall XP from my distribution CDs which came with the laptop without loosing my settings or installed programs?

What is the purpose of this accessory? There's also an InterVideo WinDVD installation CD. Any idea what this does, and is it for the Dangle? Thanks! Scott Tag: Real Player Tag: 190066

    - no items in group policy I tried to turn off CD autoplay. I opened the group police editor and selected "computer configuration/administrative templates/system". There was nothing there. Absolutely nothing. No single item. I played around a little and found that there, too, was nothing in software settings. I noticed earlier that there were only few items in programs/accessories. For example, I had to manually added notepad and calculator to accessories. Is there something wrong with my XP SP2? How to fix it? Tag: Real Player Tag: 190035

I have tried to update Real Player 10 with Real Player 11. When that failed
I uninstalled and re-installed Real Player 11 with the same result. I then
uninstalled Real Player 11 and tried to install Real Player 10. This
results in an error message "You currently do not have Administrator access
to the Windows Registry. Please see your Administrator to install Real
Player". I have also tried booting up as Administrator but still get the
same error message. I really wish I hadn't tried to upgrade and I really do
need Real Player. I have also cleaned the registry with Registry Mechanic.

The fix at
http://real.lithium.com/real/board/message?board.id=realplayer&message.id=18156
has the same result.

Can anyone shed some light on the cause of this problem and, better still,
offer a fix?

Thanks.
