    - Missing Icons in Control Panel OK, I assume my problem has happened to someone else and already answered in the posts, but I haven't found it so here goes, I think this started with the SP3 upgrade, which I have reversed (no shows XP, sp2). Half of my program icons for the control panel (sounds, mouse, display, printers) are in classic view the other half are in the category view. Real pain when trying to install or repair programs and hardware as one is in one view the other in the other view. Can someone PLEASE help me get all of these back on both views. I have tried another system restore, but keep getting the message that my computer cannot be restored and nothing has been changed. (This is after restoring to a time PRIOR to SP3) Thanks, as I am going nuts trying to resolve this issue. Tag: Real time Tag: 1901172

    - Strange login Suddenly, my homebuilt winxp home desktop has developed a strange login practice. When i boot up in the morning, nothing happens for about 4 minutes, then away she goes and no more probs. Its got an nforce SLI board loaded with 7800 nvidia cards. IBM Deskstar hard drive that checks out. I've checked the bios and run several tests but no glitches. Device manager says a-ok on drivers. I hadn't loaded any new software and I've checked Zonealarm to make sure there is no problem with the trusted zone. Any ideas? Tag: Real time Tag: 1901159

    - No Open Button in File Download Security Warning Dialog Box XP SP2 IE6 I have a user who is trying to open a PDF file that *she* posted to one of our internal Intranet sites. When she clicks the link she gets the File Download - Security Warning dialog box, but there is no Open button--just Save and Cancel, and the Save button doesn't work. The user is able to open other PDF files on the same site, from the Internet, and off her local hard drive, so it does not appear to be any kind of issue with file type associations. I've done some googling, but everything that I've found has indicated, "this problem does not occur with Windows XP SP2 or Internet Explorer 6," which I found rather aggravating because my user is running both and has the problem. Most of the articles I've seen talk about Vista and IE7, and mention the certificate (.cer) file. I thought that I would try importing our root CA to see if that does the trick, but beyond that I have no ideas. Does anyone know how to fix this issue, or at least have some suggestions? --Tom Tag: Real time Tag: 1901128

    - Display of Font Issue Hi: There are 3 PCs. and I installed Word 2000 on all, three. Upon typing on each of three pcs., ... one pc. at a time, I noticed there has characteristic difference among three. Two PCs, XP and Vista respectively has identical, in regard to 'Size of Letter' which is 'thick and bold-type,' however one PC with XP has 'thin and non-bold' type, even though I set '10'/Size along with 'New Roman' on three PCs. Is it because each PC. has different template that causing this difference/issue? If does, is there a way for me to set identical display as to Font of '10pt' upon typing? Thanks for your help in advance. Tag: Real time Tag: 1901125

    - Language automatically switches from Chinese to English Hello, I am trying to add support for Chinese PRC on a system (Win XP Pro), and we installed the East language packs and Chinese PRC shows up as a language in the toolbar, but whenever I select Chinese and go to type in a program such as Word 2003 or Internet Explorer and begin to type the language automatically changes from Chinese to English, and even if I change it back as soon as I type again it will switch back to English. In Word, automatic language detection is enabled, and both English and Chinese are the first two options, but even if I disable automatic detection and select Chinese it will still automatically select English.

    - Change in Appearance of Start Menu I'm sure this is a silly question, however, I do not know how to fix the problem. When I go to the "Start" button and click on "My Documents" I no longer get the sc reen that I used to that allows me to choose "Shared Documents". It goes directly to "My Documents", which isn't what I want to do. I certainly don't remember changing anything, and if I did, I certainly don't know what I did or how to undo it. Could someone please help me? Every other user on the same computer has theirs set the way I want mine. Can't figure out what I must have done. Appreciate your time. Cheri Tag: Real time Tag: 1901052

    - Another SP3 upgrade failure and disaster I'm running a HP P4 with XP Pro SP2. Nothing fancy, just a basic 2005 business machine with only a few application installed on it and all stock hardware. Never gives any problem. I installed SP3 on it yesterday and after a (seemingly) normal install, it rebooted and came up with SP3. Then the problems began. First I noticed that the machine was virtually nonresponsive taking ages to respond to any command except mouse movement. Poping up the task manager showed that CPU usage was pegged at near 100 percent. A number of reboots did not fix the problem and other than the CPU usage and nonresponsiveness, everything appeared normal. I finally elected to uninstall SP3 and did a System Restore to the point before the install. After unistalling SP3, system response returned to normal and CPU usage was back down to about 3 percent. (Interestingly, at this point the System page shows that the OS is SP2, as you would expect, but if you go to Add/Remove Programs it shows that SP3 is installed. I didn't risk trying to remove SP3 there since the system was now running normally again.) So much for SP3; I'll stay with SP2 for the forseeable future! Tag: Real time Tag: 1900989

    - unable to open new file I've got a new Dell desktop (2.33GHz, 2gig RAM) just last month and it works fine. Other than occasionally I cannot open a new file/webpage/folder etc... eg. When I am using IE7 to surf, and I wanna open a new tab, it doesn't open up. At this time I can't even open anything new such as a window or another exe application.. However the problem is fixed when ie. I close a tab on IE and then I can open ie. a new folder. The problem compounds itself with me being able to do less and less without first closing something, be it a tab on IE, or a window, or an application. Any ideas ? Is it to do with the memory allocation ? cheers Andrew Tag: Real time Tag: 1900959

    - hangs / freezes I am working on a Dell OptiPlex GX280 that up till last week worked fine (~3 years). 1GB RAM, 2.8GB Pentium, 80GB HDD SATA, CD-RW, XP SP2. Is a network workstation. Virus & malware signatures updates hourly. Has decent firewall. Recently had added second 512MB RAM strip, but ran with no issues for weeks following. Run MS Updates routinely, but not yet loaded XP SP3 (it was not yet released at time hang/freeze issue began). Has suddenly begun to hang/freeze at about 2-3 minutes post log-in. Gives no warning, no error messages, no error beeps, continues all green lights on back panel. Initially reset to earlier restore point with no positive effect. Then did repair of OS with no positive effect. Ran Dell Diagnostics which found no hardware issues - all tests passed. Specifically retested Memory and HDD and all still passed those further diagnostics. Have tested USB keyboard and USB mouse separately and both are fully functional. Ultimately reformatted HDD and did clean install, but still continues to hang/freeze at about 2-3 minutes post log-in. Can boot to CD and during lengthy OS repair or install there was no hang. Can boot to Safe Mode and device will eventually hang/freeze at about 10-12 minutes post log-in. When hang begins, red light on optical mouse flickers (slow at first then increases to rapid, then suddenly stops); also during this, audio begins to crackle and similarly increases in pace, then stops same as mouse optic light. Did find some info @ MS regarding an "interrupt storm" but the prescribed "fix" for that did not alter my issue in any way. Presently the GX280 still hangs/freezes and nothing I've done has resolved the issue. Has anyone suffered through this type of problem before, and how did you ultimately resolve it?

    - System Slowing Down. Any Suggestions. Windows XP, SP2. I have a system that has been running fine for a few years. It has a 3 GHz processor and 4 GB of memory. Recently everything is running much slower. Programs open up very slowly, some Excel workbooks with macros run interminably long. Internet browsing is slow. The LAN is fine, as I can go to another system and it runs the same processes and browses the net quickly. I have scanned for spyware and viruses and removed spyware and found no viruses.

    - Persistent "extra linebreak" problem with Live Mail / Hotmail Why isn't there a newsgroup for Live Mail / Hotmail? Anyhow... I'm getting annoying by the extra linebreaks Live keeps inserting in my emails. No matter how careful I am about it, and how good an email looks on my end before sending, it always has that annoying "blank line for every time you hit enter" problem when I go to my sent folder and look at what I sent. It's like it's interpreting all BR tags as P tags. Know what I mean? I even tried emailing from Outlook (which I've configured to sync with my Hotmail account) and it does the same thing, except that when I look at my sent folder in Outlook, the email looks fine. When I look at the very same email sent with Outlook, but in IE instead, the extra linebreaks are there again. ...the hell? How do I fix this bug? Thanks. Tag: Real time Tag: 1900887

    - Why two different types of app errors? We have an application that is occasionally crashing in random places. Some users get the typical fatal error: "xxxxxxxx" has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. But one of our users always gets something like this: The instruction at "0x003de054" referenced memory at "0x00300034". The memory could not be "written". Any thoughts about why one user would get one whereas someone else would get the other? Are there memory conditions or PC configuration issues that would produce one error rather than the other?

    - SP3 direct download link needed Tried DLing SP3 yesterday and found the file size too small, about 230 meg. used this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en What's happening is, MS is DLing SP3 to the Internet directory (which is a small partition with little free space) instead of to a TMP or TEMP directory which point to large partitions with loads of free space! Two questions: 1) does anyone have a direct link to MS DL site for the latest SP3 release (I'll use a DLer program which saves exactly where I want them)? 2) outside of changing the temporary Internet directory location, is there any way to circumvent MS from using that directory as its temp location?

    - Vista question about "compatibility mode" and "safe mode". Sorry for posting a Vista question in the XP section, but I just dont know where is the vista newsgroup or if it exists. Anyway, my problem is im trying to run a program which can only run under two conditions: 1) Can only run under windows XP. 2) Needs to run in safe mode to work correctly. The first problem I can solve it by simply runing the program under compatibility mode (so it thinks its running under XP SP2). but the problem is that in Safe Mode I can't use change the compatibility mode because the option is greyed out. So my question is, is there any other way to use compatibility mode while in Safe mode? like from the command line? Many thanks in advance. P.D: If there is an MS Vista newsgroup plz do post the link. Tag: Real time Tag: 1900763

And what did you learn about it on the Norton website (since this is probaly
not an XP problem).
