    - XP mess Hi gurus I have the following problems and I really hope that you gurus can help. I was installing a new video card when suddenly the blue screen of D came up, I put the original video card back and tried to restart the computer but always the blue screen came up, I asked for help and this was done. XP cd->repair->chkdsk /r->fixboot c:, this allowed me to boot the computer all the way up and as you can imaging I was really happy, I could see all my files and everything else( I know I promise backup will be done daily). well while everything looked fine I start to have the following problems 1) I can not copy within my computer or outside.-> I right the mouse, click on copy and then go to the folder or drive I want to paste and the paste option is not present, if I drag and drop nothing happens. 2) Start->program->accessories->system tools->backup... this does not work, nothing happens, nada comes up. 3) there are a bunch of service that dont start nor manually or automatically. 4) Does this by any changes has to do with Registry and if so, can I get one of those registry fixer software to fix this. It seems like everything is a mess and I dont know where to start looking.- here is where you gurus comes in. This is quiet a challange as it seems like the frea... machine has live on its own. Thanks,tahnks a bunch for any help I can get gurus!!! Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923178

    - Poer surge on Hub Port I recently purchased a portable external hard drive. It's a USB powered drive. When I plug it into my laptop and try to copy something to it, I get a dialogue box that says "Power Surge On Hub Port, A USB device has malfunctioned and exceeded the power limits of it's hub port. You should disconnect the device" What causes this? I don't think there is anything wrong with the drive because this is the 2nd one of these that I have had this happen with. I though about switching to a portable external hard drive by another manufacturer Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923175

    - Strange Monitor Problem - maybe I just finished setting up and installing programs in a new PC running windows XP. Something must have happened and the monitor screen went black. If I try to hit "reset" I can nothing seems to happen. I think the computer shuts down and restarts but the screen remains black The only way I can get the monitor to work (if it is the monitor) is to unplug the PC (when the screen is blank) and plug it back in. Once I have a screen and shut down normally using the start menu, the next time I try to start it up I get nothing but a black screen. I can't even tell if the PC is booting up or getting past the cmos boot up as the screen is black. I have tried a different monitor and the same thing happens so i know it's not the monitor. I'm lost as to where to go at this pint. Has anyone run into a problem like this/ Any ideas what could cause this to happen? A driver or something? Please help Thanks Miike Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923173

    - Service Manager / sqlmanger.exe I'd like to speed my bootups by removing unneeded items from starting up using MSCONFIG. One of the items is "Service Manager" (sqlmanger.exe). Some of the Google references think it's a useful file, but I'm not aware of using SQL in my normal applications, and I think I don't need to have it start at bootup. Any reason NOT to disable it at startup? Bobbi Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923161

    - cannot put data on cd's via DVD and DVD RW drvies seems I cannot put photos from my documents, etc. onto a cd via my DVD and DVD RW drives. If I put a CD that already has data on it in either of these , it reads the data on that CD just fine. However, if I put a blank CD into either of the drives , my computer is not recognizing the such and says to " insert a disk" into either the E or F drive, --whichever the case may -when I'm trying either drive. There is a Roxio program on here that sometimes pops up and wants me to put data on it via that program, however- I just want to "send to" the photo -or whatever -straight to the CD without going through Roxio. Any ideas? Know this is prob.a no brainer for most of you but I'm no puter expert by a long shot. Thanks if you can help! Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923154

    - Failing to save settings I am using Windows XP Home Edition. Recently, I do not seem to be able to save my settings anymore. I have noticed that in several areas: - Folder view settings: I can't apply permanent view settings to folders anymore, the view changes back to the (wrong) default for whatever it had been before. I can't specifiy the folder type anymore (music/pictures/documents...) and can't choose a picture to display on the thumbnail version either. - Favourites: In my favourites menu, I can't sort the favourite by names anymore, parts of them get collapsed, and if I drag and drop a folder to another location, this step has been reverted when I check back. - Desktop icons: I can't rearrange my desktop icons anymore, it always goes back to the previous view as well. - Internet security settings: If I select "permanently allow pop-ups from this site", it will prompt me again the next time I try to open a pop-up (it took me a while to get this question window to open). I have noticed an error message, something like: "Failing to store in registry", which came up a few times when I was downloading and saving documents or pictures to my hard drive or external hard drive. Somehow none of my settings are stored. How can I fix this? Help is much appreciated. Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923135

I haven't changed a thing to cause this that I know of. It tries to use Flash Player on YouTube and now it won't work. Thanks for any help. Doug Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923133

I backed up my C: drive before upgrading XP Pro. SP2 to SP3 in case anything goes wrong. Any ideas why this happened? I don't recall this happening in the past (2006 and earlier). Was there a change in XP SP3 or some KB updates to cause this in NTFS? I used the same exact Ghost DOS and method many times from the past. Is there a fix or this?

    - My Documents - appears 3 times -which does System Restore not restore? I understand System Restore will not restore/protect files in My Documents, such as doc. files, meaning that on a restore such files will not be affected and I need not worry. My actual worry is to know which of the 3 My Documents folders I have in Explorer System Restore does not restore. These three are clones of each other in that they contain exactly the same folders. Going down from Desktop, The first is Desktop\My Computer\Local Disk\Documents and Settings\my name\My Documents - the second is Desktop\My Computer\my name (is called my name and not My Documents, but has the same contents as the two so-called My Documents, so I refer to it here as the second My Documents) - the third is Desktop\My Documents. So which of these does System Restore ignore? BTW, why does Explorer maintain three versions of these? Which is the one ordinary users like me should look out for as the 'controlling' My Documents, as it were? I have always wondered about these particular questions.

I have XP Pro installed with SP3 and plenty of memory, both disk and on board (2gb). I tried Microsoft Update and received the message that 11 updates failed to install, even after several tries.

    - Where does the files to a mounted drive go? Where does the files to a mounted drive end up? For example, I have a Asus 701 with a 4GB SSD (solid state drive). Not a lot of room, plus writing to SSD and flash drives reduces how long they will last. EEE PCs also sports a SD(HC) slot. I have two SDHC 16GB, so I have a lot of space now. Problem though, lots of programs won't install on a removable drive. And Windows doesn't like parts of itself on a removable drive either (swap file for example). So the solution is to use "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" option. And I installed many programs through a mounted folder and things were fine. I also modified where my Settings and Documents folder lives to the SDHC drive (D:). Well I found a free program that moves Settings and Document folder much easier. This program is called "EAZ-FIX folder-mover.exe". Although it only sees fixed drives and in my case, only Drive C. Plus you can't pick the folder, as it uses \mydata. So no problem, mount drive D (SDHC) in \mydata and let folder mover do its job. Well I had 1.3GB free before on Drive C. Now I have only a few MBs. And Drive D has a lot more room than it did before. But I figure since things really wouldn't be moved around a lot, just the paths. I searched why 1.3GB was lost on Drive C and 1.3GB free space was gained on Drive D. I can't find anything at all. Although Settings and Documents is a lot smaller than it used to be. The only thing I can think of, is that Windows XP treats the folder on (C) and the mounted drive (D) as one of the same. Thus your data could be on Drive C or Drive D. Is this correct? I just assumed it would always be on Drive D, but it doesn't appear to be necessarily so. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 4GB SSD 2GB SODIMM 16GB SDHC Windows XP Home SP2 Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923106

    - Disabling text balloons from system tray, and enabling them later Hi all, At the moment I'm working on my new system. And there are a quite a few things I need to set before I'm happy with it. One of the things I hate is how XP handles ' and ". At the moment I need to follow it by pressing the space bar before the quote or double quote appears. But thatÂ´s not the question of this post. IÂ´m wondering how I can disable the text balloons that pop up from the system tray? I dislike messages instructing me to press here to view/hide icons, and the like. At the same time, in the future I would like to develop a program that uses pop ups from the system tray. I gather that the program will not work when I've disabled the text balloons? So what do I need to do to enable them? (when different from what you need to do to disable them). TIA, Michel Tag: Remembering open windows Tag: 1923103

I have a new SATA 316gig HD( Hitachi HDT725032VLA360) that I have loaded XP onto a 50gig partition. I have a ST 1.2gig IDE HD(Seagate Technology 1275MB - ST31276A) that I have to use for bootup according to install CD. configuration: Sata is first in hard drive order (listed as D) 1.2gig is next (listed as C) 200gig is last (listed as G and H) Situation: When I install, the setup program works and finds all the drives and partitions. I delete the partition from the 1.2gig drive, and delete the partition on the SATA drive. I create the 50gig partition on the SATA drive and select it as the install location. Setup formats C and then formats D. Setup finished the processes as normal, reboots and completes the process. It appears to be a working machine. I take out the install disk, put in a driver disk and install (requiring a reboot). Reboot fails. I put in the Windows XP SP2 disk and it boots fine.

    - removing "Desktop Manager" desktop toolbar Those who have foolishly installed the Powertoy "Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager" - as I did - soon discover that when they uninstall it, it does not uninstall fully and leaves debris all over. One of the peskiest ones to get rid of is the Taskbar toolbar which continues to show "Desktop Manager" even after that toolbar is no longer functional! Kelly (great guy) has now created a reg file to remove that toolbar. The XP Tweak is found at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm # 401 right side. Thank you Kelly! Another way to get rid of "Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager" is to Restore to before it was installed rather than try to uninstall it. That is what I did and it got rid of it for good.

    - Het verschil tussen MSN-e-mail en hotmail ... Als mijn MSN explorer open krijg ik het bericht dat het "helaas niet gelukt is de e-mailservice volledig in te stellen" en dat "'ze' het nogmaals zullen proberen als ik me de volgende keer weer aanmeld." Dat heb ik nou al een paar keer gedaan maar nog steeds krijg ik dat bericht. Maar...., als ik vanuit de MSNstartpagina "Hotmail" aanklik kan ik wel degelijk mijn hotmail zien. Wie weet wat er mis is?

Hi

I have several windows/apps open, mostly internet explorer. Is there any way
for windows xp to remember which windows were open if I have to restart and
get back into those windows easily?

Thanks

Regards

If you go to Control Panel and open Folder Options then select the
View tab, scroll down the 'Advanced settings' list.

Check the box 'Restore previous folder windows at logon'.

That'll ensure that any Windows Explorer windows that are open when
you shutdown or reboot are automatically opened when you next start
your PC.

I know of no way to do the same for other programs though.

Martin.

Hello, John::
Is there a specific reason why the hibernate mode will not meet your
requirements?
