For the last few days all incoming e-mails are showing the gym clip as attachments with only one or two attachments out of approximately 10 e-mails. Is there something I can do to correct this?

    - IE7 won't connect I just reinstalled Internet Explorer 7. Now I'm still unable to connect. (Cable, XP Pro SP2) Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Oh, here's something interesting: Firefox is my default browser, but recently I've had major problems navigating at webites like Amazon and Tower--text throughout the tops of the pages were blurry, and clicking did not take me to new pages. Opening it now, I see that they're clear!! So something in the IE 7 reinstallation must have fixed the Firefox problem. But it has not fixed the IE problem--I still can't connect to the web. I should have disabled Spybot; both of my last installations have brought me Spybot questions about registry changes that I had trouble answering: the first time I said do not allow. This time I said Do allow. What can be the problem with my IE7? Tag: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 808048

    - Restore/reinstall I have an HP Pavilion laptop. It has a restore partition and I have the disks made from that. The reinstall puts EVERYTHING back like the day it arrived. I like to reformat from time to time but geesh I hate having to put all the junk programs back on. It takes me nearly as long getting rid of the junk as it does to reinstall my own programs. Is there any way to pull just the Windows XP Pro out of it. I don't want to buy another XP just to have a clean one Sunni Tag: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 808047

    - XP Serious Error After chkdsk /f Both of my XP systems are updated regularly, and when they were as SP2 machines, whenever I did a chkdsk /f command to clean up the disk, it always knarls everything and and in addition to not cleaning up the errors on the disk, the system reboots and recovers from a "Serious Error". The system takes me to a page where it says I have a rogue device driver, which I do not. All of my drivers are signed on both systems. Hardware failure is not the culprit either, as both systems have newer drives in them. After installing SP3, the situation is the same. Why is this occurring?

    - how do i access bluetooth capability hi, i am using Windows XP SP3 (on a macbook via VMware Fusion). I have a treo 750W that runs Windows Mobile 6.0. My macbook has bluetooth capability but i have no idea how to use that to sync my treo with the windows side of my machine. I have read a number of posts that suggest that if i go to control panel or network connections, i should find "Bluetooth Devices" but there is nothing there. there are also mentions of MS Bluetooth Stack but i have no idea if i have that already or need to download it and if the latter then from where. Can someone please help? if you can dumb down the instruction for a lay person, that would be terrific. thanks so much. Tag: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 808029

    - XP Service Pack 3 Installation Errors Hi, I decided that as XP Service Pack 3 was now available and I was prompted to install via Update centre that I would do so on my Laptop. I installed the version for single computers, not IT professional version. Big mistake. After restarting computer, I found that I had lost all my Network connections, and trying to re-install them did'nt work. After about an hour trying to find fix for this problem, I decided to use System Restore to go back to before SP3 installation. Thankfully this worked. Has anyone else had this problem, and are there any fixes for this problem, as everytning else worked O.K. Cheers. Tag: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 808021

    - Problems with online shopping baskets Whenever I try to use an online shop such as amazon I can order the item but then even though the baskets says the item is there when I continue to the checkout it doesn't recognise that anything is in my basket. This happens on every shopping site I have recently tried it is as if my computer isn't recognised at the final step. A similar problem is happening with my anti viral software, where it starts the update process but then doesn't recognise that it has completed it? I am at a loss.

    - 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 808004

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.

    - 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 807999

    - 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing 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.

    - 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing 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.

    - 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 807917

    - 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 807911

    - 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: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 807892

Also tried the HD tune recommended elsewhere on here but not sure how to use it.... comp has had parts replaced not so long ago but not sure exactly what! have changed anti-virus to AVG free but not sure if its conflicting with previous stuff that hasnt been removed fully? Also trying the mutli anti-virus scan also suggested by someone on another board. Have no idea what to do or where to go.............any ideas anyone??? getting really desperate now. thanks in advance zoe Tag: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 807891

    - Windows wont start after installing AVG Antivirus 8 I installed AVG Antivirus 8 and it said it had installed successfully, but then the computer shutdaown because it said there was a problem. When I tried to start it up again it would not start windows. It eventually comes up with a message that the hal.dll file in windows 32 is missing or corrupted and to reinstal it. I tried to start windows in safe mode and also the last known successful starup but neither works. I have tried to start with the windows cd to do a repair but I cant get it to start from the cd either. Please help.. Helen Tag: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 807888

    - Burn CD ISO to DVD I need to create a bootable disk to reset admin account password of a locked out XP PC. This site offers a registry editor tool- http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ The tool offered on the sire is an CD ISO image that I have downloaded. I unsuccessfully tried to burn the ISO image to a DVD+R . My questions is it possible to burn a CD ISO to a DVD+R? If not what are my options, do I need to buy a CD+R to burn the ISO? Thank you Ken Tag: XP SP3 - lost Network printing Tag: 807880

Tried that, its the network that is not connecting, can access the router
and internet OK. Tried remaking the home network with the wizard to no
avail.
