    - Re: Switching to Visa My computer with XP crashed and I need to buy a new computer. I am thinking of getting one with Vista. I am aware that all mircosoft programs would operate on the new computer, but what about ITunes I have a 6 month old 4 gig Nano. How will that be effected. I have all my music saved on a Maxtor external Drive. Will I be able to reinstate or will this be a problem?? I don't have too many other programs except Norton Anit-Virus that is not Microsoft. Any help would be appreciated. Also how difficult would it be to purchase a new computer with XP? -- gjm Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813415

    - Windows Search with Domain Logon I have Windows Search 4 on both my home machine and my machine at work. At home I automatically logon with an administrator account. At work I logon to the domain as a Power User. At home I can rebuild the search index by simply clicking on the Rebuild button in Advanced Options. The number of items indexed so far immediately goes to zero and indexing starts. This does not happen at work with a domain user logon. The Rebuild button seems to have no effect. We are using W2K Server and Active Directory. Is there something I need to do on the server to allow domain users to rebuild their indexes? Is there another newsgroup more appropriate for this question? Thanks in advance for any help! Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813414

    - "Entire Directory" option not showing when adding a network printer Hi Everyone, I've been experiencing the following issue when I try to add a printer to some of the workstations of my office network. In ALL BUT TWO of the 10 computers if I go to the Find a Printer Wizard > "Network Printer" > "Find a printer in the directory" I get the window called "Find Printer" that shows an "Entire Directory" option selected by default in the "In" box and below in the drop down menu the name of our server. I leave "Entire directory" selected and hit the "Find now" button to get the full list of all our network printers, I select what I want and I'm all set. Instead on two of the computers the following happens: After clicking on "Find a printer in the directory" the "Find Printer" window looks different. It does NOT have the "Entire Directory" option in the "In" field but instead just the name of our server. If I hit "browse" I get no other option but the name of our server. I leave the name of the server selected as I have no other option and when I select "Find now" the computer freezes for a good 5 minutes and eventually will return a blank list (no printers). I'm assuming that the reason why the system returns a blank list is because it's looking for a printer attached to the server which does not exist but do you have any idea why the "Entire directory" option is not showing up? The only way for us to get to a printer is to select "Local Printer" instead of Network Printer in the Wizard and then select a TCP/IP port and enter IP address of that specific printer. It works but the printer is considered a local printer and not a network one. Do you have any ideas of what is going on? Thank you very much, any suggestion greatly appreciated!

    - external hard drive no access question Hi, I had an Emachine that took a dump - it stopped booting up on startup. I took it to geek squad and they told me that there was a problem with the computer seeing the hard drive on start up and that's why it would not boot up. They advised that they could extract the information off my (now dead) emachine hard drive for $275. I left. A friend told me that I could remove it from the emachine and connect it to my new computer as an external hard drive, which I did. Now with my new Dell I can see the local disk F and all the files inside it however, when trying to access any folder, particularly the important one...Desktop, I get the following error message: "F:\Documents and Settings\Desktop is not accessible. Access is denied." I have messed around with sharing and security with individual files and with the entire root and cannot get it to let me in. I am wondering the following things: I have a bunch of pictures on the original hard drive desktop....is there a way to tell if they are they still there with no access? What might I have to do to make accessing these files in this external hard drive possible? I thank anyone for any help you can give me with this. Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813367

    - Problem with video resolution going to 640x480 Hi folks. Well, I have beat my head against the wall till it is bloodied. I hope someone has slayed this dragon, and can give me a hint. I have a Dell Dimension 4550 running XP Pro. This machine has an Nvidia GeForce4 MX420 integrated video card on the motherboard. I normally use this at a 1024x768 resolution setting. I have used this machine with this configuration for several years without any problem, until about 6 months ago. It now switches itself to 640x480 4-bit resolution any time it comes out of sleep mode. When this happens, it is not possible to change the display resolution with the normal settings controls. The only way to recover seems to be to reboot the machine. Once the machine is rebooted, it works reliably until the next time that the system goes into sleep mode. Then it all starts over again. I beat on it several times, and finally decided to do a complete fresh install of XP Pro on a brand new disk. I installed all of the drivers fresh, and did the setup from the ground up. Painful, but I figured that this would solve the problem. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. I have tried the video drivers from Dell, and I have downloaded and installed Nvidia's drivers as well. Neither affect the problem. I suspect that this problem is related to some security patch that MS has done to Windows, though I don't have any real evidence of that. It just seems like everything was working fine, and then it wasn't, kind of like something was added to the OS that doesn't work with my system. I suggest that it is security related because it seems to be connected to the user log-in process. I have three accounts on this machine. One for my wife, one for me, and one for guests. My account and my wife's accounts are both protected with passwords. The guest account does not have a password. If I log into the guest account after coming out of sleep mode, the machine is at the proper video resolution. However, if I log into either of the password protected accounts after coming out of sleep mode, it goes to 640x480. I don't believe that it is a hardware problem, because when it is at the proper resolution, it works fine. And I can change back and forth between all accounts without a problem as long as it does not go into sleep mode. Anyone have an idea for a fix? Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post. Best regards, Mike Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813365

    - How to totally delete defunct WINDOWS folder/subfolders? I have old Windows directories on 2 separate drives; one is my current boot drive; the other I used for a test to potentially upgrade my XP Pro to XP Pro X64. Both will not totally delete because of the obstinance of the undeletability of 2 files in \[whatever old]\system32\Macromed\Flash directory. The files are: 1. FlashUtil9f.exe 2. Flash9f.ocx To illustrate the absurdity of my attempts to fool Flash that these 4 Flash files are inoperable because I re-named the whole directory tree in these defunct Windows directories, the current trees are: 1. WnDOW_\Sy\Ma\F\ 2. \W\32\M\F Flash refuses to give up its lease on those 2 properties. Does anyone have an answer to this. I have tried to do this by even Diagnostic Startup, and backing up and cleaning everything cleanable with Regedt32, after un-installing all current Macromedia programs in Add or Remove Programs, and running RegCure 10 times in a row. Something along the line did remove FlashUtil9f.exe in the old X64 OS directory, but nothing of the other 3 files; 1 in the uninstalled X64, 2 in the defunct X86. Anyone have any cures?

When I start it in the safe mode and then switch to regular mode it states it's running Microsoft Whistler Personal. This is some type of XP OS. There seems to be many more programs and folders on the C: hard drive than show up in add/remove programs. This is true even in the safe mode. They are also present on the start/all programs menu and even though I've not checked all of them many can be clicked on and run. I am asking for some input and help on: 1. Is there a way to see the programs in the add/remove programs screen or somewhere so I can remove what I don't want? 2.

    - Outlook 2003 very slow I have XP Pro SP2 with OL 2003. I recently ran Spybot and Spyblaster which loaded my restricted zone with URLs. (I probably didn't need to do that since I have a commercial version of AVG 8.0) Subsequently, it took 40 to 50 seconds to open or send an email. I removed all URLs from both Restricted and Trusted zones and rebooted. Emails now open or send in 30 seconds. The same day I also removed IM from Startup. Does anyone have any other ideas about what I can do to get my email speed back into an acceptable range? Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813204

    - Corrupted Files I have two MS Word files, one in a doc file and the other in a wbk, that I can neither open nor delete. When I try to delete, open, or copy over these files, I get a message that the procedure is prohibited because the file name and path are too long or because the path does not exist and that I should remap that Network drive; the file reside on HDD C and is in a two folders down in the My Documents folder. I have a copy of this file on a USD HDD and would like to erase both of these files, but wonder if anyone knows how I could do this. I have tried and cannot copy over either of these files. The condition of these files prevents copying and backing-up the My Documents folder. Any help would be appreciated. I am using Microsoft Office v2003, Windows XP - SP-1, and Dell Pentium IV running at about 3 GHz with a 150 GB HDD. Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813202

What Can I do to extend the time that the fax utility expects to sense another fax machine? Thanks much. Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813201

    - Aborted XP upgrade Hope someone can help, cos I am stuck Have a laptop running XP Home. Went to upgrade to XP Pro but there is a corrupted file on the disk and setup only went so far (first restart) before stopping. I am left with2 startup options - 'Windows XP Home' (now set to default) and 'Windows XP Professional Setup'. There is also a folder - C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT - with, presumably, the unused setup files for XP Pro. My real question is - how do return the computer to the state before I started the interrupted installation of XP Pro ? I know it isn't just as simple as deleting the above folder and some other files in the root directory, but what can I safely delete and what other measures do I have to take ? Really appreciate someone's help Thanks Rick Tag: WinXP Desktop Browse button Tag: 813195

Hi Kenn,

Is the "Browse..." button grayed out? Check here:
