    - Windows XP SP3 Update & IE I am running Windows XP home edition with SP2, and Internet Explorer v6. I had too many problems with IE 7, so I went back to IE6. My question is this. If I download and install Windows XP SP3, will it upgrade my IE to version 7, or will it leave my IE 6 installed? Charles Ranheim Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807961

    - System reboots after standing-by Hi, this is WinXP/Pro/SP2 on i865/P4@2.8GHz,2GB RAM/Radeon 9800Pro It started a few weeks ago. If I set my computer to Standby (Hibernate does not work here anyway) it goes to standby, the green light blinks on my case. But when I wake it up, it loses knowledge about standby and does a full system-reboot. Any ideas? -- Bye, Andreas M. Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807956

    - How to make system connect to internet at boot I do not want to wait, until I am right in the user-desktop-init process at boot till my internet-connection (set to auto-dial) comes up. Is there any way to start the dial-up connection earlier, automatically by the system, rather than by a program? Thanks. -- Bye, Andreas M. Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807954

    - 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker 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: Q7 in poker Tag: 807911

    - 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. Will the fault still be there on a re-installation? Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807899

    - 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: Q7 in poker Tag: 807892

    - SP3 and Dlink Wireless NIC problem (partially solved) I installed SP3 on a XP Pro computer using a Dlink DWL-G510B wireless NIC. After the installation I got the following error message with every boot. "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.

    - The Logon User Interface DLL Msgina.dll failed to load. Contact your system administrator to replace DLL or restore the original DLL. Hey all, I just turned my computer on today (presumably after it installed some updates) and got the above error message. I found the MS support site describing the issue and providing instructions to resolve it ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836683 ), but pressing F8 and choosing for Windows to boot using the last settings that worked unfortunately doesn't actually work, and I still get the same message. I tried booting into Safe mode with the prompt, and still the same error. I found another page on this site with a similar problem, and the conclusive advice was to delete all ntuser.dat files to allow a log-on. I'm not a huge expert with computers, but I imagine this is a drastic step, and I want to make sure if I do it it will work. So, does anyone have any suggestions and/or affirmations that deleting ntuser.dat will allow me to log in and install the hotfix from MS manually? -- Sadseh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sadseh's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=48746 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=964853 http://forums.techarena.in Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807814

    - Wireless problem after installing SP3 Hi After installing SP3 onto an Acer Aspire 1360 (XP Home SP2) it will no longer connect to my wireless network. It simply sits there trying to acquire an IP address but doesn't succeed. It also says the signal strength is low where it is usually excellent and is trying to connect at 1Mbps. Trying to find networks in range results in the claim there are no networks in range. Uninstalling SP3 restores normality. The wireless router is a Belkin with hardware version F5D7231-4 2000. Any ideas? -- Paul Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807804

    - Cannot install anything MSI related Hi , Having problem running an installation that is based on MSI. Cannot run many Windows Update Installers or update Norton's LiveUpdate. I've reinstalled the latest Windows Installer package and followed steps listed in several Microsoft support articles. Trying to install LiveUpdate this is the message "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed." The installer service is running. I have a hunch it has something to do with the log files based on errors from other installations. Thanks very much in advance. Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807802

    - Slow Printing Problem - New Twist! One of my users - like many other people out there - is having the issue where if they select "file -> Print" from just about any application on their machine, it is taking 30 to 60 seconds for the Print Dialog Box to appear. We are using ALL network printers that are printing via SMB and using Unix Based (LPR Port) printing, and all of us ar using WinXP Pro an an Active Directory environment. No other users on any other machines are experiencing this problem. And now for the twist!... Other users on the SAME MACHINE are NOT experiencing this problem! Could there be something corrupt with this users profile? (NO, we are not using roaming profiles!) If so, how to find and correct the problem? All suggestions appreciated.

    - Address Bar Using Windows XP. Had an address bar in the task bar at the bottom of the desktop where I could type in a web page address and click a green "go" button to access a web page. The address bar has disappeared. How can I get it back? Thanks Tag: Q7 in poker Tag: 807792

Hi,

Why is a queen and a seven referred to as the computer hand when playing
poker?

Jim,

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Example, a search using your question in its entirety:
http://www.google.com/search?q=Why+is+a+queen+and+a+seven+referred+to+as+the+computer+hand+when+playing+poker&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1

Leads to:
http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=892065

" Computer Hand: The Queen-7 is referred to as the "computer hand" because
it is mathematically the hand with the most average pre-flop strength in
Texas Hold'em. "I usually call with anything better than the computer hand
from the big blind." "
