    - drag and drop quit working About a month ago, my drag and drop became unreliable. Now, sometimes when I reboot, it will work for one or two drag and drops, but after that it doesn't work. It doesn't work on the desktop or within programs. I tried the fix provided by TaurArian on this forum for a similar problem, but it didn't work. -- That was Kelly's tweak Line #233 on http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm I'm tired of working around this and would like my drag and drop back. -- Mark Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886844

    - 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: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886838

    - compare ad-aware & bitdefender Hi I have both ad-aware 2007 (free) & bitdefender (free v10 OEM) installed. I have used them for over half years. Ad-aware usually detects more than 5 infections everyday; however, bitdefender detects nearly nothing. I use Full system scan in bitdefender and smart scan in ad-aware only. I am wondering why?

    - Blue screen caused by driver issue Hi, I keep getting a blue screen for the past couple of weeks and have no idea why. I have XP on my computer; have not installed any new hardware in months. Only thing that has changed is a newer version of Norton antivirus. Un-installed and re-installed Symantec yesterday, but got a beautiful blue screen on start-up this morning. Error message is: "After you install a new hardware device or new software, Windows XP may continuously restart, or you may receive an error message on a blue screen View products that this article applies to. Article ID : 322205 Last Review : November 9, 2007 Revision : 6.0 This article was previously published under Q322205" I have gone through the article and taken the various steps but it hasn't helped and I still don't know which driver causes the problem.

    - Backup help needed Help! I have created a backup schedule for my PC to back up the documents and settings folder to a network drive. The problem is that each night it adds a new folder to the ever increasing backup.

    - 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? I don't want to shell out another $150 for a copy of XP as I find it unnecessary. Your feedback would be appreciated! Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886754

    - XP Service packs I've had conflicting information that all Service Packs are cumulative, and from another source that SP3 is in fact stand alone. Logic tells me that it is unlikely that SP3 would incorporate SP's 1 and 2 and all XP updates from inception, since it's offered as a "Download" via MS update service. Can someone give me the correct information please? Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886745

    - SP3 Inclusion of WMP 11 Greetings, I understand that WMP 11 will be included in the SP3. I currently use WMP 10 because it syncs with my Dell Axim PDA. Will WMP 11 be installed automatically? If so, will I be able to revert to WMP 10? If not, will I be able to have the ability to "selectively not install" WMP 11. Thank you for your help, Rich Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886716

    - 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: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi 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: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886673

    - can't set .jpg MetaData over network I have two WinXP-pro SR/2 machines connected by hardwired Ethernet. A scanner is connected to one; a hard drive to hold files is connected to the other. Directory on hard drive is marked for simple file sharing and authorizing other network users to change files. Files created by the scanner can be saved to hard drive without problem. Once saved, they can be renamed without problem. However... MetaData on .jpg files cannot be edited / added from first machine with the scanner, although once metadata is added to the .jpg files via the second machine containing the hard drive, the metadata can be displayed on the first machine with the scanner. Is this limited metadata labeling capability normal? WindsurferLA Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886671

    - searching old Microsoft word files for text string Every once in a while I need to retrieve information that I know exists somewhere on the hard drive of my machine in an old Microsoft Word2.0 file. My tests seem to indicate that both with WinXP/SR2 and Copernic search functions no longer find text strings within the old Word2.0 files.

    - Can't Install Installer Cleanup I've got an application that isn't starting up. The help forums for that App say to uninstall using MS Installer Cleanup utility. I downloaded the MS Installer Cleanup utility, and I now have a file named, "msicuu2.exe" on my PC. When I double-click the file, it starts to install the utility, I'm asked to accept the license agreement, which I do, then I get a dialog box stating, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". It is looking for a file named, "msicuu.msi". When I click "cancel" (because I don't know where that file might be), I get an error dialog stating, "Error 1714. The older version of Windows Installer Clean Up cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group". This is my home PC, and I am the technical support group for it. ;( Hoping that someone can tell me how to get to the point where I can install and run the Cleanup utility.

    - Software Activation Methods ?? Hello, I am looking for a license component which I can easily integrate in my existing C-applications. I would like to offer trial-versions of my applications via my website for potential clients to download. So the purpose of this license component would be to control which features of the application should be disabled after the trial period has expired. The potential clients can use the application will all its features for a 30-day trial period after which selected features of the application will be limited/disabled. If the client decides that he would like to buy the application, he can go to my website and fill out and submit a form. The client pays for the product and a license key will be generated automatically. The client enters the license key in the application to enable the features that he paid for. My questions are: 1) Which license generator should I use on my website to automatically generate license keys? 2) Which license component would you recommend that I use? 3) Other advice? If you have several suggestions, please post them. To sum up what I am looking for: 1) The license component must be easy to integrate into my existing C-applications 2) It must be easy to register new products in the license generator 3) The license key has to be "secure" and hard to "decode" 4) The license generator must also be secure in the sense that it shouldn't be easy to figure out how the license keys are generated 5) It has to be close to impossible to reset the trial period for the trial versions clients download from my website. I look forward to receiving some advice and suggestions. Thank you in advance. Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886581

    - Auto updater From Windows XP Service Pack 2 the auto updater was introduced. This functionality getting updates automatically when a new version is available is especially nice for the end customer. In our next generation software package it's in the plan to have an auto updater automatically taking care of the update of the program. We do not have experiences with auto updaters so the question is if we should develop this yourself or use something already existing. Some of the existing auto updaters is client server based. Other are not. We intent to use the auto updater for 1. Automatically install new updates when they are available on a central server. 2. Inform the user with product notes. 3. Subscribe to the auto updater from more than one program. 4. To have the possibility to license base our software (fx. subscribe for a year). 5. To keep track on all the users. Does anyone have any experiences with this. Something is available within MS Visual Studio but also a lot of external components are available. Looking forward receiving some feedback.

    - Windows XP Fails to Open I have accidentally uninstalled the driver for the keyboard on my Dell Dimension 4500. ""No problem" I thought, "I have the Resource Disk containing the drivers." But I was wrong - the Resource Disk I recently received from Dell does not contain any keyboard drivers. Can anyone suggest another source for the driver? There are some important consequences, since I cannot use the keyboard I cannot log on as the Administrator because I cannot type-in the password. I can log-in using the Guest account and run a number of programs, if I only use the mouse, because the Guest account does not need a password, but, as a Guest, I cannot use System Restore or change items using the Control Panel.

    - XP Office Viewer ... I have XP Home & Son has XP Office 2007 Hello We recently bought our son a laptop for schoolwork which had to have XP Office and today he sent a .docx file over for me to print but it wouldn't open as I only have XP Home with Works Suite. It took me to a download page and I downloaded the Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003 and it installed. On the download page it said that I should be able to view a list of documents and .docx would be one of them. I went to Start, All Programmes, clicked on Office Word Viewer and tried to open the document (.docx) but it wanted me to do more downloads and this is where I stopped as I wasn't sure what I was doing. I already have on my computer the xl viewer and powerpoint viewer as I do get sent these documents to read and then print off. Any tips on what I should do and if I have downloaded something wrong would be appreciated as we can't afford to buy him his own printer as well as just buying the laptop. Thank you very much.

    - WinXP--Can't limit my own user account--Explorer.exe runtime error I want to make my own user account limited (no administrative privileges) as I understand it is safer. I created a new user, gave it administrative rights, booted into it, and made my original user limited. But then I can't boot into the original user account. Windows fails to load and gives me an Explorer.exe C++ runtime error. If I go back into the new admin account and give admin rights back to the original user, it loads normally. What am I missing? I have (temporarily) uninstalled my antivirus software but a firewall (Online Armor) is running. Any insight into this would be gratefully appreciated. Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886474

    - Upload problems with Windows XP SP2 I'm having trouble with uploads to web sites on my Windows XP SP2 machine. I basically can't upload any files in in a web request. If I try going to a bandwidth test page, it does the download test fine, but then won't even complete the upload test. I can't send emails through my web email client. I can't upload files to web pages. Each time I try it hangs and then times out. It shouldn't be a browser problem. It is the same with Firefox and IE. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem. I tried switching out the network cable, tried switching ports on my router, I even installed a different network card with the same results on the new card. Clearly it shouldn't be a hardware problem. It isn't the internet connection. I have another computer going through the same router to the same internet connection and it doesn't have the problem. I can upload files over the network to the other computer (though it does seem a little slower than download). Firewall is turned off. I really don't know what else to look for. Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks, Monk Tag: %temp%dd_msxml_retmsi Tag: 1886466

This file is listed on my C drive. Does anyone know what it is? Can it be
deleted?

These folders and files are most often created by various update utilities -
most often Windows update - as temporary locations to store files before or
while the update is applies to your machine. They're supposed to be deleted
automatically when the update is finished. But as you've experienced, that's
not always the case.

Can I delete these randomly named folders?
