    - Can't Uncheck "Use DDE" Using XP SP3, OE 6.00.2900.5512 (XPSP 080413-2105) When I go to My Computer/tools/folder options/file types/(none) URL hyper text transfer protocol/advanced/edit/use DDE, and uncheck the box I then click OK/OK/close, but the box remains checked when I go back to it. The apply button is grayed out. The same situation applies to URL hyper text transfer protocol with privacy. After installing SP3 I found that the only way to get the hyper links in email messages in OE to work was to uncheck the DDE box. The problem is they don't stay unchecked. Can someone help me correct this? Thanks. -- "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." - Sir Winston Churchill Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 808004

    - SP3 in Add or Remove Programs panel. After following all prescribed pre-downloading/installation requirements for SP3 and applying Method 3 (Reset the registry and the file permissions) as shown in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377 the installation went without any problems - the system is running extremely well. Start, Run *winver* indicates:- MS WinXP Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111:Service Pack 3) System Properties panel indicates:- System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 When opening the Add or Remove Programs panel "Windows XP Service Pack 3" is listed, however on the right-hand side of the panel there is no indication whatsoever with respect to the size and installation date of this program (just a blank space). Is this something to be concerned with? FYI, Windows Resource Kit Tools - SubInAcl.exe is listed as size 0.36MB. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 808003

    - usb mass storage and hibernate XP Home, SP3, external 120gb hdd, USB connected via pcmcia card in notebook computer. Same 120gb hdd device in Vista, when I hibernate, turns off. This is good. But when I hibernate in XP the device light stays on, and I thus must disconnect the device manually. Please be very specific with directions to assure the device will turn 'off' (no green light) in hibernate in XP sp3. That is having device turn off in hibernate other than using "Safely Remove Hardware" first. Thanks in advance, Robert Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 808001

    - Wndows XP SP3 Install My install went as smooth as silk. Easiest Microsoft install of a major piece of software I've ever made. The download was only 69 MB since I visit the MS Windows Upgrade site every day and keep right up to date. My computer, a Dell XPS laptop, is pretty loaded with programs. All run perfectly to date -- even some of the oddball third party stuff. I didn't turn off Norton Internet Security 2008 during the install. It's also right up to date. Box runs even smoother, faster and crisper now... Excellent job by Microsoft... Kudos. My Windows Live Mail install also went off smoothly without a hitch.

    - Taskar & System Tray - Remember Settings I reinstalled XP Home and then installed XP2 and then XP3 on my computer. I then customized the settings for the Taskbar & System Tray (such as: use quick launch; use large icons; lock taskbar; hide certain icons in the system tray). When I restart my computer, it does not remember some of these settings - specifically it forgets to use large icons + forgets the arrangement of the icons in quick launch section + it forgets the system tray settings. How do I correct this so it will remeber my Taskar & System Tray settings when I shut down my computer? THANKS. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807999

    - Corrupted OS -Upgraded OS on wife's computer several years ago from Me to XP Home Ed. -Currently upgraded home with fiber optics and installed net cards in all the older computers -Installed a net card in wife's computer. When I turned on the computer it tried to identify the new hardware and also upgrade to IE-7 at the same time. Well it locked up. So I turned it off and restarted it. -The computer now tries to load Me and states there are missing files. -Tried using the XP upgrade disk to correct corrupted files or re-install the upgrade OS, but now the upgrade will not recognize the original Me or open the upgrade XP OS program, and request that a Me CD be inserted before proceeding. Well I have trashed these Me disks a long time ago. -Any ideas how I can get around this problem??? Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807985

If I set my computer to Standby (Hibernate does not work here anyway) it goes to standby, the green light blinks on my case.

    - Minimized Program Icons Gone on Taskbar Hi, this happened now the second time to me. The first time it happened on my mother's latptop, which is a WinXPHome/SP2. The second time it happened today on my computer which is a WinXPPro/SP2. I had some program crash (today it was UT2004) and after logging out and back in the part of the taskbar, which shows the minimized windows has disappeared. All else is still there (Quickstart, Virtual Desktops, Search, Trayicons, etc.) I tried removing any from the taskbar and adding the stuff back, still no luck. I did not install any new software these days, but had Adobe update to current AcrobatReader. I am very well secured. There is a KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;139727 which describes the same problem, as it seems, but I do not have any Xerox software installed. Since this was a startup-folder entry and some "Make it easier" type of software, I assumed, that it may be, that Adobe uses the same software for the AcrobatReader Quickstart utility, they placed into my startup-folder. Hence I removed it. No luck either. I found no solution on the web. I tried removing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\StuckRects2 key. I checked for Friends Greetings Sacm as outlined in a post from 2002 here: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/t1036987252 I do not want to reinstall Windows. That is not a solution. I have collected and applied just too many custom tweaks over the years, not to talk about all the stuff written to the registry over the years. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you. -- Bye, Andreas M. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807947

    - svchost problem Hi, I have a serious problem with my laptop. Recently it has become really slow and the other day it will not show my profile. It boots up and lets me logon but it then comes up with a svchost.exe errpr and an explorer.exe error. I have tried to repair windows with my installation disk but the windows installation does not appear in the list and it only allows me to install a new copy of xp. I have also tried to expand the svchost.ex off the installation disk to C:\windows\system32 folder but it says Access Is Denied. I have tried to also open the document and settings folder but it says Access is denied. Does anyone have any ideas on how i can solve this. Cheers James Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807946

    - Windows XP and long flle names I thought Windows XP could handle long file names, that is, in excess of eighty characters. I use Windows XP Pro and whenever I try to change (usually shorten) the name, or even delete a file of over eighty characters, either by highlighting in Windows Explorer and clicking the big red X for delete, or right-clicking on the file to choose delete or rename, Windows Explorer gives me an error message which says Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and will shut down, then closes. Any idea why this is? Seems to me I should be able to work with these long files names. Most of them are usually .mp3 files which after downloading have more information than I want, like artist, album, track number, year it was recorded, name of the track...mp3, all of which makes up for a file name I can't work with. I do have a program that allows me to work with the audio files but I'd like to know why XP is crashing whenever I try to access a file with a long name. Also, it would be easier doing it through Windows Explorer if I could. Makes no sense to me. Thanks for any ideas. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807939

    - Got two copies of WinXP on my computer. In trying to deal with a backdoor on my computer I have ended up with two copies of Windows, each on different drives. The original set up was that a first HDD was partitioned into C and D, with WinXP Pro on C. A second HDD was partitioned into K and L. Backups of C were on the second HDD on K. The computer was infected by a backdoor. I was advised to reformat and reinstall Windows on C. The computer was supplied by a firm called Evesham, now defunct, and the disk they supplied seems to be some kind of recovery disk with no instructions for its use, not a proper Windows install disk. I ran this Evesham disk, and what it ended up with was Windows on C, and also another copy Windows on K. Now during the boot sequence a window asks me to select which operating system I want to start, Windows XP Professional Windows XP Professional. If I choose the former I am into the first HDD, if I choose the latter I am into the second HDD. The first HDD has C marked as System, and K marked as Boot (shown in Disk Management). On the second HDD, C is marked System, K marked Active, nothing marked Boot. The Evesham disk when run gives me no options, such as 'To delete the selected partition press D' as you get with a proper Windows installation disk. What can I do? Oh do please help me if you can. I have backups of important data burned onto disks, and am prepared to loose data if needed. Anode. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807932

    - Sharing Files Between Home Vista and Home Windows XP? I just bought a new Windows Vista Home Edition, and we already have a Windows Home WIndows XP. Both are on the same Linksys router, the old Windows XP's IP address is 192.168.1.100 and the new Vista's is 192.168.1.102 I can ping the old Windows XP (at ...100) from the new Windows Vista (...102), but not vice versa. They both belong to the workgroup "WORKGROUP". All I want to do is share files between these two home computers on the same LAN. The Windows XP cannot find the Windows Vista computer through Windows Explorer, but Windows Vista at least asks for a login and password when I try to view files on Windows XP via \ \192.168.1.100\c$ Further, when I enable the Guest account on Windows XP, Windows Vista says it cannot even find the Windows XP computer at all. To summarize: How do I share files between two home computers, one is Windows XP, the other Windows Vista? Thanks. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807929

    - CTRl Alt Del Login screen not showing Few days back my PC infected with virus and trojans.Bit Defender identified it and deleted few files but after that safe mode didnt boot up(culprit from my understanding is rundll.exe in c:\windows\system32\rundll.exe). it shows the black screen with "safe mode" letter in each corner of the screen but ctrl alt del login screen will not show up. The normal boot was working fine till today.From this evening it also shows the same problem, so i could not log into windows at all. how can i rectify this problem. i dont want to reinstall OS again as I have installed many applications. Is there any way to 1. To identify what is going in the background while it is booting? 2. system restore from cmd prompt(recovery console)? 3.change the ctrl alt del login screen to normal xp login screen without logging into windows? 4. Is there any connection between ctrl+alt+del login with rundll exe? PC config is: WinXP SP3(RC),Bit Defender 2008, AVG 8.0, My System is now free from virus and spywares -- Guhan Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807923

    - XP Home cleanup: delete uninstall directories after installing SP3 ? Hello, I originally had XP Home SP1 OEM (english) with a new PC several years ago. Since then I installed all updates, fixes, service packs etc. Now at SP3 level without any problems. I noticed that all those years of updating the system resulted in lots of wasted disk space due to a series of uninstall, hidden diretories under windows: \$hf_mig$ \$MSI31Uninstall* \$NtServicePackUninstall$* \$NtUninstall* All above directories total a whopping 1.41GB of disk space. I also noticed some associated log files, even though wasted disk space is not as significant: kb*.log Q*.log So, given that my system is currently working fine, and I don't want to uninstall anything, can I safely "cleanup" my system by deleting all the above? If not, is there some other way to accomplish the same thing, for example order a new CD at SP3 level and run some "re-install/cleanup" procedure on top of my current installation? Ideally, I would like my system to look as if it had been installed at the SP3 level from the start. Thanks. -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.7 Final Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** Tag: Where is my second Cpu?

    - Diskeeper's Undelete & Xp Sp3 Is anyone having problems running Diskeeperâ??s Undelete package (build 127) with XP pro SP3? Iâ??m getting the Undelete error message â??Local Server Connection Failedâ?? when the RecoveryBin is accessed. The Undelete Service (udserve.exe) is running and getting through the firewall. I think the problem may have something to do with the addition of Network Access Protection (NAP) to sp3, even though I'm running as a standalone workstation. Iâ??m working with Diskeeper to resolve the problem, but hearing from anyone who may share this problem might be helpful. Thank you for your feedback. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807916

    - My SP3 results so far Yesterday I backed my XPpro up using both image and clone. Went to MicroSoft Updates and did their 'download and install'. I would rather have downloaded just the SP3 file, naturally, to have it available for a later possible update, but Microsoft prevents this, only offering the huge 300M version for download alone. The process of downloading and installing took nearly 40 minutes! My DSL is running at 2244Kbits when I tested just now so it wasn't download speed, there was just a LOT of moving and shakin to that SP3!. I was totally amazed when the blamed thing rebooted and came up normally after all that disk thrashing and Microsoft intrusiveness. I made a quick attempt to test all my software (there's a lot) and, far as I could see it was all working. Following the link XP SP3 tech net forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2010&SiteID=17 that I got from this newsgroup I found many people having troubles with SP3. One complained of Windows Updates no longer working. So I tried that next and, sure enough it no longer worked. Then neither FireFox or IE7 would connect to internet. After considerable thrashing around I finally concluded that SP3 had changed something in my ZoneAlarm firewall. Once ZA blocked one Generic Host Processor 'intrusion' then neither browser would work till ZA was turned off. Setting the Generic Host Processor to 'Trusted' in ZA didn't help. But in Firewall, Zones my network adaptor card (which is connected to my DSL modem and thus the internet) was set to 'Internet'. I changed this to 'Trusted' and things started working. Set back to 'Internet' - things still worked, but only temporarily. Had to keep network card at 'Trusted' for system to work. That's the part of the elephant I'm feeling so far.

    - Process invisible to Process Explorer I have the "USB Aquarium" from http://www.dreamcheeky.com/index.php?pagename=product&pid=10 It starts automatically with an entry in HKLM/Run, and puts an icon in the system tray. If you use this icon to Quit, then it stops. When my wife uses fast-user-switching, it starts a copy of "Aquarium.exe". When she logs off, this process gets terminated, but the aquarium doesn't stop. From Process Explorer, I cannot find what is keeping the aquarium running, and the only way to stop it is to ask her to logon again, then stop it from her system tray icon before logging off. There are a couple of DLLs in the same directory as the aquarium.exe; might one of these be causing the aquarium to keep going? Or, is the device just sitting there, doing its "thing", until something (another copy of aquarium.exe) comes along and instructs it to stop? Next time this happens, I'll try launching my own aquarium.exe process, to see if that can be used to stop it. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk Tag: Where is my second Cpu?

    - Netgear software removal crippled XP I removed Netgear Storage Central Manager from my system. When I rebooted it just cycled around the "failed to start" screen. Choosing last good configuration or safe mode doesn't have any effect. Netgear support have been absolutely useless. Last I heard "one of their technical team would research the problem" That was weeks ago. Sony told me to use the recovery disk that came with the machine BUT..... Because the system is Sony it only comes with a recovery disk that will restore the machine to original setup - killing all my software, years of updates etc. 1. How can I find out what's crashing the machine? 2. If I buy a new XP disk will I be able to re-install windows and keep all my software & settings. 3.

    - Webcam woes I have tried installing a webcam on my daughters laptop (Win XP Home, SP2) but get the following error message - Cannot instantiate the filtergraph. I tried a Trust webcam initially, followed by a Mikomi but get the same error message with both. I used the supplied drivers and tried downloading them from the manufacturers websites. Googling the problem doesn't give much except to update Flash player and Direct x, which I've done. Needless to say, both cameras worked on my laptop, so I bought a third webcam which uses Microsoft's generic driver, rather than it's own. It seems to install correctly, doesn't show any problems in hardware manager, but still refuses to work in MSN, Win Live Messenger or Skype. I get either 'webcam in use by another program' (it's not!) or 'unknown error' (really helpful!). Any suggestions as to what to check/try next? Thanks. Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807892

"AirGCFG.exe - Entry Point Not Found the procedure entry point apsSearchInterface could not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll" It seems SP3 installs a new version wlanapi.dll that is not compatible with AirGCFG.exe. The NIC works and wireless connects, just have the boot error message. I tried to get an older version of wlanapi.dll, but could not find one in either the driver files from Dlink or on the web. I emailed Dlink, but no response yet. Did find that AirGCFG.exe is the Dlink NIC monitoring program that loads as a TSR (but does not show in MSCONFIG). Windows Defender (Software Explorer) showed it and allowed me to disable it as a TSR. Now I do not get the boot error message and the NIC still works. Will post back if I get a reply from Dlink.

    - Files converted to txt files I have a 5 year old Sony desktop running Windows XP. The computer has a partitioned hard drive and the C drive filled up to near capacity. I have been trying to take off or move programs, but none of the utilities work except Windows Explorer. When I look for files such as cleanmgr they are in their correct directories but appear as txt files. I thought originally the files would not work because of lack of processing capacity, but now I am wondering if this is a virus. Can anyone help? Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807839

    - How do I change folder views - I get the search screen Hello, How can I change this in Windows XP: When I go into windows explorer (right click on START) and click on a folder, the "search results" screen comes up. Only if I right click on a folder can I select explore, then the folders contense is shown. If I use the folders view on the left hand column, it works correctly but this is annoying to use. I've tried all sorts of things to fix this and nothing corrects it. Shaun Tag: Where is my second Cpu? Tag: 807827

What makes you think an update will have installed a 2nd cpu?

Your notebook? Laptop?

What is the make and model of your laptop?
Why are you 'expecting' more than one CPU?

If you have a dual core cpu
but device manager has only a single core CPU listed...
a dual core cpu is installed the same way any other device is handled...
simply opt to "update driver"
then select the proper dual core configuration from the list of devices.

I forgot the exact wording
but there should be a choice such as "multi-core processor"

Likely is that you don't have two processors. Likely is that you have a
dual core in ONE processor.
