    - Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close The OS is XP Pro. There are two user accounts: me and she. The problem: when she tries to access a picture that was just sent to "my pictures" or one on her desk top the following message pops up. "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and the system hangs. Process explorer shows that "my pictures is not responding. Looking at the details has: AppName explorer.exe ModVer 5.1.2600.3119 AppVer 6.0.2900.3156 Offset 0012a5b ModName kernel32.dll But if I log on to my account and go to "my computer" and approach the same file via "docs & settings" and onward to her "my pictures folder", then the jpg picture file opens with no difficulty at all. What is going on here? Charlie Tag: error after installing XP SP3 Tag: 1902870

    - Help w/ hooking up 2 computers to a modem I've hooked the modem to an Ethernet switch and the 2 comps (both running WinXP SP2) with CAT5 ethernet cables. First computer is connected fine (your proof is this post) but the 2nd computer ain't obtaining an IP address. The lights on the switch confirm the port is in operation. My ISP said they don't do technical support for Ethernet switches -- that it's a matter of plug and play if it really worked, hence I waste y'alls precious time with this post.

    - Windows Time Problem Recently my Windows Date and Time has been acting up. I set the date and time and within four or five hours the time is wrong. Example: "At 1pm I set the time as 1:00 pm. By 5pm the Windows time displays 3:35, almost an hour and a half late. If I don't check it for a day or two, it actually shows the date and time as some time on the previous day. Is this a CMOS battery problem or something else. If it were a Cmos battery problem, wouldn't I be having boot problems (ie: error and boot to BIOS?). Thanks for the help.

    - Windows Task Manager Memory Usage Issue Hello, I am currently running a C++ program which is supposed to compute something in about three full (24 hours) days. I am a little panicked about the feedback I get from the Windows Task Manager about my program. More specifically, after I minimize the console application that is doing the computation, the Task Manager shows a very small (but growing) amount of memory (7Mb or so) being used by my program, but I know that my program, after some initializations, should use at least 300Mb (and maximum 500Mb, when the dynamically allocated memory is at the maximum). This makes me worry (hopefully irrationally) that Windows has done something --deallocated? -- with part of the memory that my program uses. A good sign is that the "commit charge" did not decrease, so I still hope that I am just witnessing a weird way of showing memory usage in the Task Manager and not anything more sinister. Can anyone with knowledge of how the Task Manager shows memory usage make me get rid of my fears? Alex P.S. I am using Windows XP. If other information about my system would be needed, please let me know. Tag: error after installing XP SP3 Tag: 1902732

    - Persist user profile when removing computer from a domain I am in the process of downgrading my home office and no longer need my computers to be part of a domain. I'd like to remove them from the domain but do not want to lose my user profile in the process. If I remember correctly, when the computer is added to a domain, a new profile is created so I am assuming the same thing will happen when I remove it. I read a suggestion that I should manually create a local user and copy the domain profile using Control Panel - System - Advanced - User Profiles - Copy To button (after rebooting and logging in as Administrator) but the button is always grayed out (disabled). Even with this, I'm not confident that this will persist the entire profile. I'd like to be able to simply remove the computer from the domain and have use of it as if nothing changed - i.e. same wallpaper, desktop icons, favorites, my docs, e-mail settings, etc. Any suggestions?

    - How to figure out what's plugging up my hard drive I have a 3 year old Dell computer running WinXP pro.... fully updated.... with a 190 gig hard drive that is almost completely full. Using Add/Remove Programs I've removed all software I'm not using. I've run the WinXP Disk Cleanup utility. But these steps have not solved the glut. I can't figure out what's the remaining space hog. According to Windows Explorer my Progams folder contains 148 gigs. I haven't figured out how to determine which specific folder/program is the disk space hog. I suspect one of the program files has somehow grown way to fat.

    - My Private Folder Not Accessible "Access Denied" I have been using the "My Private Folder" application since it was released by Microsoft in 2006. I know MS pulled it soon after, and I know it is not supported. However, I kept using it for my own personal use. Everything was going fine until yesterday, when I suddenly received the error message "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Private Folder is not accessible. Access is denied" everytime I tried to open My Private Folder. I've uninstalled and re-installed the program, but it still keeps happening. I've also tried the suggestions in KB 308421 [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421] with no luck. Does anyone know why this suddenly happened? And what I can do to fix it?

    - freezing devices I've read through the posts and don't find one like my problem. Gateway pentium 4, 1 meg ram, All current Microsoft updates to XP Pro and XP Office. No software or hardware addtions, norton internet security, full scan indicated no gremlins. The computer has been running great for a year or so. Two weeks ago my USB scanner would not initialize. Shut it off and rebooted. Turned the scanner back on, no problem. Thought nothing of it until it happened again. Went through the same routine and solved the problem. Two nights ago, I went to the PC to find mouse and keyboard non funtioning. Mouse is USB, Keyboard is PS2. Red power light on optical mouse but no movement. Attempted task manager but with no keyboard, no joy. Hard restart, everything fine. This morning, USB printer failed. Restart, everything is fine. This seems like the start of something big. I was considering a clean reinstall of XP but wanted to get expert opinions first. I thought about the USB hub but the keyboard isn't on it. Computer has USB 1.0 original and USB 2.0 aftermarket however, its been running great for a year or so in this configuration. It is on a home network. As always, any help / suggestions would be appreciated. Tag: error after installing XP SP3 Tag: 1902610

    - How to reinstall WinXP on new hard drive I have a three year old WinXP installation that is gradually going corrupt with random unexplained program crashes and lockups. Just purchased a new Western Digital 320 GB EIDE internal hard drive and plan to install it in this machine. Can I install Windows from my original XP disk on the new hard drive... then transfer data from the old drive to the new hard drive? (After I have updated Windows.) If so... what are the potential pitfalls? Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere to instruct me? jeff Tag: error after installing XP SP3 Tag: 1902565

    - SP3 and Compaq XP MCE Killed normal booting Well, applied XP3 and my XP would not boot. What a pita. Turns out to be an issue with AMD processors and the quality of SP3's patching. Managed to boot into safe mode and used another system to surf to find the answer. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3276751&SiteID=17 Renaming intelppm.sys to intelppm.old fixed it for me. Fortunately I could get to safe mode to do this. Pass it on, SP3 does not appear to be AMD or Compaq friendly. Another poorly tested piece of Microsoft software. Microsoft ought to pull this ASAP and FIX IT. Or there will be a lot of crippled XP systems....AMD sells a lot of CPUs.... as does HP/Compaq. Tag: error after installing XP SP3 Tag: 1902557

evertime I start or reboot windows. The error message says "sprecovr missing,
skipping autocheck"

How do I get rid of this error?

Thanks for your help.
