    - Desire stop office critical patches from upgrading outlook Hi, I have office 2003 and Outlook version 6.0 I had said yes to update patches for office, and on install said ok to update Outlook. After install and due to problems long story (with hotmail) I do not want Outlook updated. I restored system and again have ver 6.0 and wish to stay there. I installed update again to try to get it to work (with hotmail problem - doesn't work)..and second time installing - it did not prompt/ask if desire update outlook, as now is in my system file somewhere due to choosing yes before, on the first install; a file is telling microsoft I want to update Outlook when installing the critical patches. I restored again, back to ver 6. I would like to download the critical patches for office 2003, but the system now has in a file somewhere that on installing critical updates, to not ask me if desire to update outlook (to new version), as system has set it to yes somewhere, due to the fact I said yes the first time. So, if I allow the patches, it no longer asks if desire to update outlook, it will just update to the new outlook which I do not want. Does anyone know the file, where it tells microsoft that I had chosen yes before, so I can change it to prompt me on installing critical patches for office 2003 that no, do not update outlook? And if do know which file, how do I edit the file and what value do I put in, so that on update of patches I will be prompted and asked if desire to upgrade outlook?

    - Startup problem after installing KB943729 on XP Pro I ran MS Upgrade search & installed upgrade KB943729. Afterwards when I tried to restart the PC it gave me the option to go to SETUP or run setup through the network. It would not allow me to pick either <F2/del> or F8. Even when I tried to run XP in SAFE mode, it would get to select the operating system screen and wouldnâ??t allow me to hit enter. After a few time of restarting the PC, I was able to get XP up and running. The first time I did a restore back a few days from install & that didnâ??t help. The second time I backed out the upgrade through the control panel as the upgrade document recommended. Do you think that I might be able to restart my PC, after this weekend, without a problem. Or should I compare the startup routine with a similar one on another PC to see where it might be getting hung up. Tag: Cookies Tag: 1887010

    - what is cnpacnp.dll??? I am working on a machine (XP home SP2) that has two references to cnpacnp.dll. One is a BHO and the orher is a Winlogon entry. The properties on this dll say that it comes from Microsoft, but not what it is like most ms stuff does. This machine had many viruses and spyware that I am trying to get rid of.

    - Page Not Found on a closed private network In our facility, we have two networks. One is the general network that all of the office systems are on as is the connection to the internet. The other network is a 192.xx closed network that can not see the main network and visa-versa. One machine (IBM i5) is on both networks and is running a full webserver. We have three PCs that are on the private network that have home pages pointing to the i5's webserver. All three machines are configured to startup IE when they start and load their specific webpages from the i5. All three display "PAGE NOT FOUND" even though the i5 webservers are online. Pressing F5, the screens do load. To say the least, this is causing problems. The three PCs are physically located in the computer room and use AVOCENT media streamers attached to their video cards to display information through out the facility. Any idea how to force these machines to load the web pages at the start up? On the old COMPAQs that used to run these services, we never had an issue. With the newer 2ghz machines doing the services, we have issues at start up. Jay Tag: Cookies Tag: 1886985

    - Sound very low...but volume at max I have a Windows XP SP2 system, fully patched. One day I noticed that the sound is very low. I can hear music in Itunes and Windows media player, but it is muted. The Windows Narrator is too faint to hear. None of the volume settings are muted in Windows, and all of the volume sliders are at their highest settings. A motherboard replacement did not resolve the issue. Also, I have tried different speakers and none of them make a difference. I have tried the speakers on other systems and they work fine. Any ideas? It is clearly a software issue, but I can't locate the source of the problem.

    - Disk space differences as reported in explorer? When your right click on a drive in XP's windows explorer, and get these different reported sizes, what is the story? Example, for a 20 GB partition - rounded to 3 significant digits below: (choose whichever I guess; the two listings below are seen next to each other in windows explorer): 12. 4GB 11.5 GB used spaee (tot capacity adds up to 19.9 GB) 7.56 GB 7.04 GB free space (tot capacity adds up to 18.6 GB) (tot = 19.9 GB) (tot = 18.5 GB) and as yet a third variation reported in BING: 11.9 GB used, 7.22 GB free (total = 19.1 GB) Anyone have a good explanation for the differences? I assume part of it might have to due with the defenition of the HD sizes, e.g.: 1 GB or 1.024 GB, for "1 GB size" - not sure? or for a 40 GB example: 20.36 GB 18.9 GB used space 19.64 GB 18.2 GB free space capacity: 40.00 GB 37.2 GB Tag: Cookies Tag: 1886838

    - XP Activation Hello everyone. I've read old posts regarding XP activation/re-activation but on the same machine (ie, after reformatting, re-install). My question is I'm planning on getting rid of my desktop (completely wiping the HDD of the OS which is WinXP Home SP2). I'm buying a second hand laptop with *no* OS installed. I would like to put my XP Home SP2 on the laptop (after wiping it off my old desktop). I've read from an old post that once I activate XP to a system it's locked in to that system's specs?

    - Fonts disappear from Office apps after reboot but remain in OS?? So - I'm at my wits end - any suggestions would be appreciated!! On an XP SP2 machine with Office 2003 SP2 we install a true-type font and it works just fine. We can see it in Fonts folder as well as use it in Office products. We logoff/login - same thing - works fine. We restart system - this font is no longer available in Office products but are still visible in Fonts folder. This happens with many fonts that we install - so it's not font specific. We've rebuilt the device twice and the problem reoccurs for this pocket of users. We've had them login to test machines and it works fine (ruling out ID related issue). I've logged into his machine and had the issue (generating a new local profile). So - we think we've narrowed it down to their physical devices with a physical reboot. From reading another thread re: fonts, I did confirm the registry of the device does have the Fonts key and does contain all the fonts. This problem is specific to the applications (Adobe and Office) not being able to see/use the fonts after a reboot. Has anyone come across something like this? Any suggestions where to start troubleshooting further? Thanks! Michelle Tag: Cookies Tag: 1886708

    - Boot to BIOS This may be the wrong group to address this issue, but I have a family member who has requested help--his computer is in a semi-paralyzed state. He has a Dell Dimension E521 with Phoenix Award BIOS. The problem is that he cannot enter anything from the keyboard. I suggested a first attempt at a repair reinstall from his Windows XP installation disk. He needs to set the boot sequence to boot from his CD/DVD drive so he can boot from the installation disk. He says he cannot get the computer to enter the BIOS System Setup from boot. He has tried pressing F2 before the Dell splash screen, which should be the correct key to press to interrupt the normal Windows boot process. Any other suggestions as to how to get the computer into the System Setup or a more relevant group to address this issue? Could the USB keyboard and/or drivers be at fault and not even accepting the F2 keystroke during boot? Thanks, JamesH Tag: Cookies Tag: 1886673

To find the location of anything you want on your own, use the SEARCH
facility in XP.

In this case, search for "cookies" and you will find the cookies
folder.

Wrong group but I'll answer your question anyway. It's in: C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Cookies
You'll have to uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" option.
