    - Xp log-on then log-off I have a toshiba laptop that was infected with some downloader trojan. Norton Internet Security caught and resolved the file. After reboot, when typing in the password the desktop background picture comes up, I get a "Loading your Settings" for about 5 seconds, then the screen flashes really fast, then I get a "Logging off" and it takes me back to the log-in screen.... This happens under local Administrator account and in All Safe modes,,,,, to include safe mode with command prompt.... On Google search it pulled up a similar issue and suggested that it was a missing file called userinit.exe or a wuaupdater.exe file that was missing.... I slaved in the drive to my PC using a HD to USB adapter and was able to access the whole drive. I replaced those files with known good ones (they were both missing on the laptop HD) but the problem still exist. I also took the c:\windows\system32\config files (registry files) and renamed them, then took the repair files from c:\windows\repair and copied them into the c:\windows\system32\config folder and was able to log into the laptop then however all the applications were not functioning properly and would have to be reinstalled. I know the problem must exist in those registry files somewhere... but how to fix it is at a loss... I tried running Commander from CD but it won't run on that laptop... says something like pci.sys fail with a blue screen.... but this is a seperate problem than the one I post here.... I don't know what else to do short of reinstalling the laptop from scratch again.... Any suggestions Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326364

    - zip and exe programs Hi-I downloaded and email checker type program today and I really like it. Problem is that when I turn off the pc and restart it, I have to manually put my email addresses in this program again. This is such a simple program and does not even have a help file. My question is this: How can I make this program be a permanent part of all my other programs. If i can do that, maybe the addresses will remain and not erase. If after doing this, they still 'erase' then I will search for another program that saves my settings and addresses. Nice thing about this program is that I can take it with me on a flash drive and use it on other computers. but it doesnt save my settings. thanks in advance Tag: Initializing installation... done!

    - XP Display Issue With Access 2K I am running Access 2K on an XP Pro machine. The background color for the switchboard startup screen and all forms/screens are white, not their regular colors. There are many versions of this applications running on at least 50 machines and we have never seen this problem. Further, all reports that display to the screen have a gray background -- not white. When printed to a printer they are okay. I checked the desktop property settings for Windows and they all seem normal. And, this computer is not having problems with any other programs. The only Office program on the machine is Access 2K. Any ideas? Thanks. -- IC Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326346

    - MP3 File Extractiom Please direct me to the proper group if this question is "off topic" for this group. I downloaded a four CD set all with a .cda extension. I converted each file (around 110mb each) to mp3. Now, I have a four, large mp3 files. How can I extract the individual cuts from the single mp3 file ?? Since this will probably be the one and only time for this exercise, a free or trial program would be best. Thank you for you time. Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326326

    - Is It Still Possible To Buy Full Retail Verdions of Xp In the UK Its late in the day, I know, but I have at last, accepted, that until I can get to grips with altewrnative os's I must upgrade to at least XP. I have used win 98Se for many years, and it still does most of what I want it to do. I have never had a brand new computer, simply because I can't afford one. I have always used a stand -alone mc. I have purchased a full retail upgrade of XP Home Sp2 several years ago. with a view to upgrading the best of 3 self -build pcs that i never got round to fully completing! I've made my mind up, as to which pc to do a clean install of. I now have 2pc's which I would like to install XP on. I have afull licence for win 98 for one of them, so I am looking for a retail upgrade and a full retail version. I have been unable to find any stores that still sell retail versions, and most on-line sources which claim to be selling full versions, seem to be selling oem versions. I would be happy to get an oem generic version at a computer fair, that came with some bit of kit, if necessary, but I want to be sure I don't run into difficulties activating and getting upgrades. I am not used to all this activating stuff All my pc's are elderly in computing terms, but I have checked that they are all capable of running XP. Thanks for any pointers.

    - Printing a.gif from a Batch File I have a .gif file which, when "dragged", to a printer prints correctly as an image. When I attempt to get the same result from a batch file using: "print /d:printername file." I get garbage output. When I omit the printer name argument I get a dialog asking several irrelevant things. What I want to do is accomplish the same result as the drag operation did in a batch file (i.e. the correct printing of the .gif file as the image it represents).

I know & can guide her with the usual clean-up/un-install routines. However, she has indicated that some of his old files are password protected......assuming mail, etc. Would deleting his identity on the computer get rid of those password protected files or just put them further out of reach?

    - Admin and password dialog box I have installed an application (Zen Cart) on my system within a XAMPP environment. When I go to the admin area of Zen Cart in Internet Explorer I am asked for a login and password. However the dialog box has no memory of me having previously logged in and I have to enter both every time. Whereas on another XP computer it remembers my previous entry and supplies the username as soon as I type the first character. How can I reset this memory facility on the first PC?

    - Computer locked after changing sign-on password I have an ACER laptop. I used Control userpasswords2 to eliminate the sign-on password window. After I did that I can no longer get onto windows. It still comes up with that screen with Administrator as the use name and wants a password. I have tried every password that I have ever used, changed the user name to my name both with no effect. I tried booting from the original WinXP disk and it still wants a password to load the install program. Is there any way to bypass all of this security stuff so I can get back in to windows and change the sign-on password situation? Thanks for your help. Tag: Initializing installation... done!

PROVEN BY OPRAH SHOW, MAKING MONEY USING E-GOLD=85 SPEND $5 AND MAKE THOUSANDS=85 Spend $5 to Make Thousands - Proven By Oprah & 20/20. It=92s true; you can turn $5.00 over $5,000 in about one month using e- gold! Proven to work by OPRAH, DATELINE & 20/20! There are thousands of people out there, regular people, like you and me, searching for a way to make money legally and easy, well here is a way you can do that. Please give this letter a chance, everything on it is true and it can help you get that kind of money you dreamed of. And you are only investing $5.00!!! When I read this I thought I figured at least 6 people would respond out of the millions of people that use the internet. And Wow!! In 4 days I made my $5 back and my e-gold account is growing even while I sleep. You should give it a try too! You have nothing to lose, and thousands to gain! You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as 20/20 and Oprah or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by- step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However thanks to e-gold and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what=92s more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been! This is the email sent to me: Make $5,000 with just $5 in 30 days with e-gold: I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY E-GOLD ACCOUNT I turned $5 into $5,706 within the first 30 days of operating the business plan that I am about to reveal to you free of charge. If you decide to take action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return! The only things you will need are: - An email address. - An e-gold account with at least $5 deposited in it. (It=92s free to sign up for e-gold) - And just 15 to 30 minutes of your time. (The more time you put into it, the more you=92ll see in return) This program takes just half an hour to set up .After that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business program. Let=92s get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and then get prepared for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here=92s what you need to do. . . REQUIREMENTS: #1) an email address #2) an e-gold account (free to open at: www.e-gold.com) #3) $5 Now follow the steps: 1-4 STEP #1 - Setting up your FREE e-gold (If you already have an account, just move on to the next step) It=92s extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE e-gold account! Copy and paste this to the address bar www.e-gold.com. E-gold is used by thousands of companies, including eBay to accept credit cards and other forms of payment... STEP #2: Funding your e-gold account. You fund your e-gold account locally or from e-gold listed exchangers at: http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure= /links.htm STEP #3: Sending e-gold money "It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive." Now all you have to do is send $1.00 by way of e-gold to each of the five email addresses listed below. After setting up your free e-gold account AND putting (five dollars) $5.00 into it, you now log into your account to send $1.00 to each of the numbers on the list. Then remove the top one (#1) and place your e- gold number in the #5 spot on the list of numbers #1 - #5. Remember your number becomes #5. ***Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* *** (this keeps the program 100% legal... so please don=92t forget!). The following are the e-gold numbers: =20 #1) 3601608 #2) 5365555 #3) 5376766 #4) 4853057 #5) 5489312 =20 Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are creating a service! A Business... An Email List Service Business. If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws. However, do not spam. This means, you should never sent it to an email that was not given to you willingly by the owner. This makes your business completely legal. STEP #3 - Adding Your E-gold Number: After you send your five $1.00 payments, it=92s your turn to add your e- gold number to the list! Take the #1) e-gold number off the list that you see above, move the other e-gold numbers up one by one (5 becomes 4 & 4 becomes 3, etc) then put YOUR e-gold number (the one used in your e-gold account as #5) on the list. ** MAKE SURE THE E-GOLD YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR E- GOLD ACCOUNT. ** STEP #4 - Copy Message to 200 Newsgroups, message boards, etc ...... or you can start sending this letter to as many e-mails you encounter. The Pure Joy of Receiving E-GOLD Money! You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 200 newsgroups, message boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups). All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is to let as many people see this letter as possible. So they will make you rich!!! HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS Step #1) you do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select =92copy=92 from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into your computer=92s temporary memory. Step #2) Open a blank =92Notepad=92 file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the =92Edit=92 menu select =92Paste=92. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your email to the list. Or copy to a Word Document and place in the e-mail. Step #3) Save your new Word or Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you=92ll always have this file to go back to. Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. EXAMPLE: go to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com - then search with subjects like millionaire message board or money making message board or opportunity message board or money making discussions or business bulletin board or money making forum etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a new message. Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting "Select All" the go the message board and =92Paste=92 from the =92Edit=92 menu. Fil= l in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You=92re done with your first one! Congratulations! THAT=92S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

You will begin receiving money within days! Explanation of why it works so well: The thing to remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $5.00?? And see if it really works?? I think so! People have said what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn=92t another one of those crazy scams! As long as people FOLLOW THROUGH with sending out $5.00, it works! Thank you for reading this letter. Now give yourself the opportunity to try it out, there is really nothing to lose. With warm wishes, bless you and your loved ones ... $$$$$ REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! DON=92T PASS THIS UP STILL NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $5 and half an hour of their time to participate in this program:=85 "What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just 3 weeks ago, and although I haven=92t made 5 grand yet, I=92m already up to $4,135. I=92m absolutely gob smacked." - Pam Whittemore, Ohio "Well, what can I say...? THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mails out like you said and then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn=92t really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my e-gold account a week later, there was over $3,000 in my e- gold account. After 30 days I now have over $5,000 to spend! I can=92t thank you enough!"- Juan Tovar, NY, NY. "I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my e-gold account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $5,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!" -Richard Barri Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326232

    - Wireless ad hoc (point to point, no router) using IE7 I am connecting a laptop computer running XPSP2 to an HP printer (C4385) on via wireless ad hoc connection. When I put the C4385 IP address in the address line of IE7 it times out. When I ask it to trouble shoot the connection it can not find the wireless printer even though the computer is connected to it. It does find other wireless routers but not the printer. If I connect wirelessly to a router everything works fine. If I connect a Vista laptop to the printer in ad hoc mode it connects and brings up the printer information so I'm sure the printer is working. Why is IE7 in the XP laptop not able to connect to the printer? Is there any special settings I need to make to connect in an ad hoc mode? Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326231

    - Are there ways to make a folder open as it was last closed? I want every folder I open in my XP computer to open just as it was last closed; same view, same size, same postion, same everything. Most of my folders do this correctly; others do not, and there seem to be no differences between those that do and those that don't. The options panels are identical. What causes this, and what can I do about it. e.g. When I choose the Detail view, and a set of details that I want to display, then the next time I open that folder, I expect the Detail view and the same set of details. Sometimes I do; most of the time I don't. If I change the view to Thumbnails and full screen, that's what I should get the next time I open the folder. This would seem to be a no-brainer, but why can't I do it? Thanks, Norm Strong Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326228

    - How can I resize the page? My son used my computer while I was away. Now, every page I open (Internet, Word, Outlook Express) takes up the entire screen, so I cannot see the bottom of the page. I have tried restoring the system to an earlier date, and using Zoom (works for Word but there is no default so I have to do it every time). Tried Zoom for Internet pages, but it only changes the size of the font, not the page size, so I end up with fuzzy words and the page still taking up the whole screen. Went to "Help" which said to put pointer on borders and drag, but it does not work either. Would appreciate any help you may have to offer. -- Thank you. June Tag: Initializing installation... done!

    - Memory Access Exception Dear all, I have got a serious problem with memory access exceptions. I get this well known operating system message Memory could not be written error It is caused by my own application (VisualBasic 6.0 with a call to a C++-DLL) The background: My application runs on hundrets of PCs all over the world without those problems but one customer has this anoying error message. It happens exactly when he runs another application in parallel. But this other application itself also has no problems if he runs it stand-alone. So there seems to be any runtime cross interference between both applications. My first thought was a problem with memory management. If both applications are running at the same time there is a lot of memory usage. This causes swapping and high activity on moving memory between physical RAM and hard disk. And sometimes this causes invalid pointers concerning the memory of my application at the interface between VB6.0 and the C++-DLL. My questions: - Is my first thought comprehencible? - What other explanations are there? - What can I do to analyse the problem? Is there any kind of software tool to investigate such memory problems? - Any hints or suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help! Best regards Walter Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326201

    - Can't get past login page - virus? Hi, I opened a couple of those fake CNN emails and thought they were comedy spoofs, which in a way I suppose they were. Anyhoo, I had trojan problems but fixed them. Several days later, after turning machine on and off a few times, it crashed a little too often for my liking and I thought this might be because it was due for some tuning so I ran Registry Healer. Then I optimised the registry using NTregopt. Then I rebooted. Now I can't get past the login screen. There's no password set by myself, I should point out. Now it asks for a password and obviously whatever I input is wrong. This sounds like a virus to me. How do I get past this please? I have XP Pro SP3. It's the same in safe mode.

    - OT. Internet ordering. I had problems when placing an order for some flowers on the internet. Three attempts failed (a blank page appeared each time I submitted the order) but my credit card was debited three times and no flowers were received. I was informed that I had probably 'double clicked' on the submit button (I hadn't) and this causes a problem "that cannot be rectified as this is the way the internet is, ie when you double click, it doesn't give time for the system to process the order or send a confirmation but for some reason, which I am unsure of, it takes payment from you". The little Basic programming that I have done, leads me to believe that this is just a poor excuse for bad programming. But, not having programmed for the internet, I would like a more knowledgeable opinion(s). Many thanks in advance. Regards, Joe Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326158

    - does swapping sata ports risk activation? My motherboard and processor failed and I have replaced both with the same types. However I had removed some of the memory and Sata drives when checking and when I reinstalled the hardware Windows now wants activating as it says that there has been significant hardware changes. I only have one day (today) left to activate and my question is this. Does mistakenly reconnecting my five sata hard discs to DIFFERENT sata ports constitute a "significant hardware change" and contribute to me having to reactivate? regards, Beemer Tag: Initializing installation... done!

    - Computer No Longer Goes Into Standby For years I have set my computer to go into standby when unused for a period of time (30 minutes) for some reason it has stopped going into standby. The monitor goes to sleep and I can hear the hdd attempting to disconnect but it will not go into a complete standby state. If I click "Start\Turn Off Computer\Standby" it still will not go into standby as it did several weeks ago. I have another computer set up essentially the same way and it continues to function as I have set it up. I am at wits end to figure it out. I can usually find the cause to these little inconveniences but this one has me baffled. I am beginning to suspect a hardware problem i.e. power supply or what ever hardware is involved with the sleep state. I would like some suggestions for things to look for.

    - "Files stored on this computer" problem Windows XP Home SP2 - There are four users set up to use this machine and when clicking on My Computer from any of the logged on ids only three of the users document folders are now showing under the Files stored on this computer heading. The fourth has recently disappeared from the list. The references in the list all point to C:\Documents and Settings\UserN\UserN's Documents. If the fourth named users logs on using their own id then all their folders and files are available to them. I would welcome ideas on what caused the fourth user to disappear from the My Computer list and how I can put them back on. Graham. Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326130

    - reactivation if computer is returned to (mostly) previous hardware My XP prof SP1 is an legitimate OEM version but the OEM company no longer exists. It had all Microsoft updates including SP3. I had a socket 939 motherboard (now obsolete) failure but I managed to get an exact replacement. Unfortunately the computer shop I had asked to test the motherboad returned my AMD64 4000+ saying that it had also failed (?) so I then bought a new AMD64 3800+ from them and rebooted. Now Windows has reported that my system has had "significant hardware change" and Windows requires reactivation within 3 days. This was my error as I had kept restarting windows with (a) various hard disc and raid setups (b) reduced dimm chips (4 to 2) (c) bios upgrade to try to check out the failing motherboard. I have the original Windows key label stuck on my case. Before I use the automated WPA I am concerned that it will reject the online activation (due to the reported hardware change/s) and that then I will get into an argument with MS telephone activation people. All this trouble is because, as I have already experienced, the OEM software is a "restore disc" which apparently must reformat the boot disc before installing XP Prof SP1. Am I being paranoid! regards, Beemer Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326115

    - Deleting Windows Password Logon Screen I'm the only user of my computer in a secure site. When I startup, a Windows Logon Screen comes on asking for my password. I don't have a password, and simply click "OK" and the startup continues. The startup takes a while and without this screen I could simply turn on the computer, walk away and come back when it's fully loaded. With the screen, I have to wait for part of the start up, click "OK" and then walk away. Is there a way to skip this screen? Tag: Initializing installation... done! Tag: 326110

Anytime an installation seems to halt after 10 minutes or so,cancel the
installation (task mgr is good for that),the installation has hung-up &
probably
wont go any further.As for .NET,try browsing this page for
installations:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en
Also,when installing,first go to run,type:services.msc In msc,scroll to
windows
installer,double click,set to "auto start",then start service.....
