    - Power Management From time to time Windows XP Professional seems to forget to turn off the monitor. If I open power management, change the setting "apply it" and then change it back to where it was it works (for awhile at least). What, if anything, can be done to get a more consistent behavior?

    - Uncontrollable Mouse I have a Dell Laptop with Windows XP-PRO installed. Every so often, the mouse seems to have a mind of its own and moves uncontrollable up and down and across the screen. This will last for about 1-2 minutes at a time and then goes back to normal. This happens whether I using the touch pad mouse on the laptop or if I connect an external mouse. I don't know what to do about this and if anyone has any suggestions, i'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Tag: .bak Tag: 314194

    - Bad HDD or bad 'file data' Further to a recent posting where I reported what I thought was a bad HDD I'm now having second thoughts. The problem arises whenever I try to backup C:\ to Acronis software or indeed whenever I tried to copy all of C:\ drive to another drive - the process would freeze part way through and the only way to recover was to re-boot. Today I thought I'd run the Checkdisk routine from Win XP Tools. This breaks the process down into 5 steps. The first 3 steps ran through OK but the system froze at the 4th stage of the process where the 'file data' is being checked. Can anyone throw light on this for me and perhaps suggest how I may correct the problem without re-loading OS and data from scratch. Tag: .bak Tag: 314191

    - Win Zipping I have a few very large files I want to send via email as a WinZip file. I want to be able to send the large files but do it in a way that for sending via email the file is compressed into a small one but upon the recipient receiving the email file, the unzipping will bring the files original sizes back. How do I do this with Win Zip? Tag: .bak Tag: 314186

    - File association doesn't work I have Windows XP Professional and recently discovered that the file association of CAD .dwg files are no longer associated with inVisio my .dwg drawing viewer. The association worked previously. I then went to microsoft explorer and the Tools/folder Options/File Types menu and found that they were associated with Internet Explorer. After removing that association, I then restored the association to open the .dwg files with inVisio my drawing viewer program. The association is shown correctly under the Registered File types. When I click on the dwg extension in the list it correctly states that the dwg file opens with inVisio. However, when I click on a .dwg file, inVisio opens but states that it can not find the file. But, when I open the same file from within invisio it opens properly. I have an internal web site that requires the use of invisio to display .dwg files and they are no longer being displayed. Something happened to disturb the working association and I can't seem to fix it. Any suggestions? -- Joseph Childs (jchilds1@nycap.rr.com) All messages are checked for viruses before being sent.

    - wmiprvse.exe using 100% PC processes. How do I make it stop? What's the deal with wmiprvse.exe, all of a sudden, using the entire of my client's CPU processes? The only configuration change made was an install of MS Project 2007 Trial Edition. It really seems to hang up while in Outlook 2003. I read one thread that it is a virus, yet I know it is not... and I applied for hotfix that randomly applied to this, and it did not fix the problem. I read all throughout these threads on the wmiprvse.exe dillemma, and have not read one fix for it. WHAT DO I DO??? Thank you, Luke -- lfheb Tag: .bak Tag: 314175

    - Yikes! How do I restore a folder ? Yikes! I was hunting for room on my laptop and used XP Add or Delete Programs to delete an application but the sub-directory went too. I just noticed and it was some time ago - I can't remember the date, so System restore doesn't look as if it'll work. I'd like to get the subdirectory back if possible - any suggestions ? A long long long long time ago Norton had some software that found deleted files and you could tell from portions of the names which one would restore - is anything like that around today? Thanks !

    - Disk Cleanup Not Compressing Old Files? Hi: When I run Disk Cleanup I have a check beside both Compress Old Files (1,919 KB) and WebClient/Publisher Temporary Files (32KB) and it does not hang up but runs to completion. However, when I run it again immediately afterwards it identifies the same files as if nothing is happening. Not compressing or deleting any files. I an running this on a Sony desktop with MCE2005 SP2 and I also have the same problem on a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP Home Edition SP2. This is the first time that I have noticed this happening and on both computers. I am sure that I used to end up with 0KB after running Disk Cleanup, but no apparently no longer. Do I have a problem with Disk Cleanup doing its thing and if so how do I correct it? Thanks, ColTom2 Tag: .bak Tag: 314137

    - "Has lines" and "Lines at root" (in the treeview control's style) don't agree with each other ... Hi, I am reposting the following problem because I find a new clue that may lead a solution. In the simple code below, I create a treeview control which has "A" and "B" on its 1st level. Each of "A" and "B" has a child, "A's child" and "B's child" respectively. The problem is that "A's child" always shows an image as its parent "A" even though I specify I_IMAGECALLBACK for "A's child", meaning no image at all. The problem exists only if I specify "Has lines" and "Lines at root" at the same time for the tree control style. I try many other combinations (including "has buttons") and all works fine. I try both VS 2005 and 6.0 and both have the same behavior. Is it a MFC limitation that if you want "Has lines" and "Lines at root" both, then you has to specify images for all items? Please help me because I have been wrestling with this supposed to be simple stuff for several days. Any help is much appreciated. JD BOOL CTestDlg::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); m_imgList.Create(IDB_BITMAP_AB, 16, 2, RGB(255, 0, 255)); int nCount = m_imgList.GetImageCount(); // make sure there are two images m_treeCtrl.SetImageList(&m_imgList, TVSIL_NORMAL); HTREEITEM hNo = m_treeCtrl.InsertItem(_T("A"), 0, 0); HTREEITEM h = m_treeCtrl.InsertItem(_T("A's child"), I_IMAGECALLBACK, I_IMAGECALLBACK, hNo); HTREEITEM hYes = m_treeCtrl.InsertItem(_T("B"), 1, 1); h = m_treeCtrl.InsertItem(_T("B's child"), I_IMAGECALLBACK, I_IMAGECALLBACK, hYes); ...

    - Problems with XP and dotnetfx ! HELP 1 Hello all ! I have a computer that only i myself use. There is only one user, no other. Since the day I had it, everytime I turn the machine on, after it boots and all that, it goes straight to the XP desktop for me. Just the other day, I downloaded the doenetfx thingys from microsoft website, and installed all 3 of them. Then this happens - Now, after my computer boots, it goes through the same motion, but then it stops at the "Click on your username" screen. I find this totally ridiculous. I am the only one user, and on that "Click on your username" screen, there is ONLY ONE USER there, yours truly. Since I am really really lazy, and hate to do that really asinine extra click, ladies and gentlemen, here's my question to all of you: Is there a way to get rid of that "Click on your username" screen? If there is, can you please tell me how to do it? Would be extremely grateful for any advice / suggestion. Thanks again ! Tag: .bak Tag: 314027

    - BIOS - COULD THERE A PROBLEM WITH MY PC'S BIOS? Hi! I understand from the many posts in in the forums, that the BIOS should absolutely not be touched unless there is a problem. I have posted two questions in under a couple of groups- one about back ups and one about formatting PC and installing Windows XP Home but still have lots of questions because I have been finding obstacles at every step I have taken until now. In short, I have a computer that is running extremely slowly and I am trying to "FIX" with the help of the help articles I can find and the help of the experts in these forum. My first question is how do I know if there IS OR NOT a problem with the BIOS? What are the simptoms of a sick BIOS? Also, do I have to do anything at all in the BIOS when I format one of the two internal hard drives on my PC? I am preparing and planning to format the d drive which is the boot drive and which also happens to have been added to my PC to try to solve its slowness. The c drive is the original drive and that is the system drive. I am sorry if there is not enough info here to enable you to help me but I am just not sure what is needed, so please, if you are willing to help me with my questions please let me know what info you need and I shall do my very best to gather it and supply it. I have basic knowledge and normaly require step by step help. Since my first post a few weeks ago, I have learnt a lot and I continue to do so by looking into other posts and websites provided in them as well as by other means.

This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for more information.Can anyone shed some light on whats happening. Before this started I did remove some spyware with Adware, a free download. Could I have removed something or done something I shouldn't have by doing this? Tag: .bak Tag: 313965

    - Disc/Backup Problem I'm using Acronis as my backup software for a WinXP Prof system, but cannot backup C:\ drive - it gets through about 35% and then seizes because of what apperars to be a disc fault of some kind.I've also tried using the WinXP disc 'Cleanup' with the same effect. My question is, and I'm probably missing something simple here, how can I backup/copy C:\ drive to another partition to enable me to re-format C:\ and then restore/copy data onto C:\ again to enable it to boot up without losing any data.

    - Help - Internet Explorer Pop Up trouble Here is the background of this problem: Neighbor brought a Laptop, which has operation trouble. Laptop is loaded with XP Home Edition, with Service Pack 2. Although it has 1.50 Ghz processor, it is VERY SLOW in operation. It was still operating with IE6, with most of the updates. I was informed that this laptop was operating without any Anti-Virus program (!). Neighbor loaded the Avast antivirus software couple of weeks ago but seems like it was not able to clean all of the viruses (may be he or I don't know how to operate it). I am used to with AVG, so I loaded it and it found nearly 50 Trojan Horses, and cleaned them. Next I loaded Spybot and found about 20 different types of spywares. I also loaded Ad-Aware and cleaned bundle of other advertisement programs. As the cleaning went on, I am having the worst time to clean up the Browser Modifiers. I have loaded Microsoft Windows Defender, and it did clean up 'Win32/Fotomoto', but seems like the same pop-up program revives somehow and I am still getting Pop-Up problems. There is an 'Unknown' pop-up showing up at the listing of Windows Defender. May be that is causing the pop-up now. Question: How do I get rid of this Pop-Up trouble from IE7 Explorer? Any information will be highly regarded. Tag: .bak Tag: 313959

Did you recently compact folders in Outlook Express?

LOTS of applications use the extension .bak
You need to be more precise.
Do they have names like Inbox.bak and Sent Items.bak?

Do you use Outlook Express for email or news? If so, OE has a
built-in feature where it will offer to compact all its folders
after it has been closed 100 times. During this process it
creates a backup copy of each OE folder and places it in the
Recycle bin with the .bak extension. If a problem should occur
during the compacting process, you can use the backup files in
the Recycle bin to restore your Outlook Express data.

Good luck
