What's wrong with Vista --- was Re: Petition to keep XP?
I use XP and install every OS update that comes along. Can you please give
me some examples of the problems, pitfalls, whatever with Vista? What
programs does it not play well?
We use Word, Outlook, Excel from the Office XP suite. We also use WinAmp,
Real Player v. 10, Outlook Express & Firefox. My wife plays download games
ad nauseum.
What are the pros and cons of switching to a Mac or Linux? Which of the
programs above won't run as well on Macs or Linux?
Thanks. Tag: JS/downloader.agent Tag: 322373
Whence programs?
Under what circumstances do programs get installed but don't

Searching Network drive in WinXP
On a user's laptop, he goes out to a network drive to Search for a particular
file type, by clicking on the Start Button, going to Find Files or folders
then entering the file spec (*.dwg) and chooses a particular Network drive.
The results are returned instantaneously. There are no files in the returned
results. The odd thing is that I can find files of that type on the drive.
The other noteworthy aspect is that I can search other network drives or his
local drives and find files of that type. The search utility takes an
appropriate amount of time.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

screen resolution
I'm wondering if anyone could help:
My screen resolution is locked on the lowest setting 800x600 pixels.
Every time I try and move the setting to the highest, the screen goes weird
and there is a partial view of a box in the far top left corner of the
screen. After a few seconds, the screen goes black and then goes back to the
"normal" low res screen.
Also, I have noticed that on the display properties and settings screen, in
the scroll down menu, it has the option of;
1. Plug and Play Monitor on ATI Radeon X300/X550/1050 Series
2. (Default Monitor) on ATI Radeon X300/X550/1050 Series Secondary
I wouldn't have thought this was abnormal but have noticed that my computer
has a ATI Radeon X600SE. This may just be me looking for a solution but I
downloaded and installed the driver for the Radeon X600 series and it is
still the same.
I would appreciate any tips or advice.
Thanks in advance. Tag: JS/downloader.agent Tag: 322340

IE offline viewing of web page problem
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what to do to be able to look offline at an Internet
Explorer web page that I looked at previously but the system does not allow
me to look at again without connecting inline. I get the message :
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
even though I set File > "Work Offline".
That should not be because I know that IE has stored my previously seen web
page on my computer.

Re-Registering a .dat File ???- Need Help Please
hi all.
i just transfered this question from what i posted in the
plus newsgroup & also the windows xp help & support newsgroup.
it's been posted 6+wks. @ both of those without a reply.
i'm hoping this may be a more appropriate place & finally lead to a solution.
any help is definitely appreciated as i've actually been dealing with this
for a
couple of years.
anyway, here's a little background:after literally countless hrs. & being
bounced around the globe(dept.>dept. a dozen + times), ms offshore support
was all of 0% help.
the upside: it's nice to see their english improving slightly.
can anyone sense my frustration??
the product i'm actually dealing with is ms plus! digital media edition, but
i'm guessing this situation pertains to other programs as well.
i use the alarms program of this software & rely on it daily.
occasionally i lose my alarms that i have set & am using with this program.
they vanish & i'm just left with the bare program as if i just installed it
without any of my alarms in place.
the file the alarms are stored in is "MyAlarms.dat
the location is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Family\Application Data\Microsoft\Plus! Digital
Media Edition\Alarm Clock
the MyAlarm.dat folder, ends up with 0kb of data in it so i do know they
have disappeared from that file as well as the user interface of my alarm
program.
if i copy the MyAlarms.dat file, while my alarms are intact & try to restore
the copied file after my alarms disappear, i'm unable to register it back
into the program.
i can copy that file by right clicking\copy or
dragging to a backup folder i use & selecting copy.
when i choose to restore it to the proper location it appears all is well but
none of my alarms appear in the program.
i've searched my complete computer including the registry for all instances
of the MyAlarms file while
it is working properly & cannot find any instances of it other than the
location stated above.
evidently though, it or whatever file it's somehow related to must be hidden
elsewhere & by me replacing it from the backup copy, it is not re-associating
itself correctly.
it would seem to me that file or some other file that is required is hidden
somewhere (possibly in the registry ?).
if so, how i may go about finding the location & name of the file\files
involved so i may associate or re-register it in hopes of restoring these
alarms?
someone previously suggested this program may link through the windows media
player, but i've been unable to find any association to myalarms.dat file to
win media player.
plus! alarm is associated with media player in the registry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins\
{C6368CEC-5205-4398-8CC3-2B98650F60DF}
\Capabilities\80000002
\ControlPanelDescription\Sets alarms that play audio content from Windows
Media Player.
\Description\Set an alarm for any time and day by using your music and audio
content in Windows Media Player.
FriendlyName\Plus! Alarm Clock
it appears to me to have an association for sound.
There are also these keys, as examples, but i see nothing apparent:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Alarm.Plugin
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Alarm.Plugin.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AlarmClockProps.AlarmClockProperties
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AlarmClockProps.AlarmClockProperties.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{1B37A914-56AA-4912-8009-B1FA744140B6}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{AEECED7F-B400-4AA7-8D80-85981D10F4C0}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\AlarmClock.DLL
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\AlarmClockProps.DLL
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3FB269FA-34D5-47B9-AB06-42592BBFCC05}
i read somewhere that ms hides .dat files in the registry.
how i go about finding where & how to re-register\associate this file with
whatever other file\files that are required, if that's the case, is beyond me.
i've spent literally hours searching ms & google & can find no help.
as mentioned, i previously talked to ms regarding what file these alarms
were stored in & they had no clue.
even the existence of the MyAlarms.dat file that i myself found eluded them.
finding the actual non-hidden file MyAlarms.dat that stores these alarms is
as
far as i've gotten.
Being able to restore MyAlartms.dat from my backed up file would save me
from having to re-enter 40-50 alarms manually 6-7x a yr.
i do really like this alarm clock(except for the major bug that allows these
alarms to just vanish) & it is a piece of software i paid for & expect to
work properly.
i would expect ms to support this product by making available the process of
backing these up or at least making the location of this type of file
critical to the function of this program available to their own support
people when referenced.
i guess i expect to much.
i do apologize for the minor rant to any ms employee that is able & willing
take the time to help me with this problem,
i know this less than stellar product has been shoved to the end of it's
short life cycle by ms & it is
no longer available, but as stated previously, ms has been absolutely zero
help
from the day this was purchased(key word: as in paid for w\my hard earned
cash) & i've been trying to find a way to back my alarms up for literally
years now.
i do apologize for such a long post, but i just want to provide as much info
as possible in hopes of finding a solution.
once again, any help at all is very much appreciated. Tag: JS/downloader.agent Tag: 322316
Temperature limit for storing CD's/DVD's
Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is off topic but I hope someone can answer this for me. I
will be moving and will be having movers pack, move, and store my stuff in a
warehouse in Texas and I am sure it could get up to around 125 to 140 inside
one of those metal enclosed storage units (non air conditioned).
Could you please tell me what the recommended maximum storage temperature is
for CD's and DVD's. I know a lot of people leave them in locked up cars
with the windows up, and it could easily get up to 125 degrees inside of a
locked up car with the sun beaming down. Would they deteriorate more, the
longer you left them at a high temperature (say if I had some discs stored
in the warehouse for three months or something like that). Or should you
never store them above a certain temperature regardless of how long.
Thanks...Pete Tag: JS/downloader.agent Tag: 322310

Suite Integration Toolkit
When I shut XP down yesterday, I was told that it was going to install

Also I am getting a pop up that says "the update was almost complete,

Out of memory for image display
I normally have 2GB of RAM but just now I am testing the four sticks by only
inserting one 512K at a time. Now I thought that if XP required more
memory it would use its page file and if the page file was not large enough
it would increase it automatically as long as the default settings were in
place.
Today I tried to open an Outlook 2007 email which contained a 650K photo
attachment. I got a message from my viewer which is IrfanView:

clicked unless I select the option (also in this text) shut down with
installing.
My desktop (running the same OS) does not have this option and I would like
to remove it from my notebook. I cannot locate any setting that would do so.

Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI) just Discovered
I am brand new to the built-in XP Microsoft Docuemnt Imaging tool.
It is my understanding now that a multiple sheet FAX (tif) or several
scanned document may be manipulated by the XP MDI tool. Until now, I
have been scanning individual sheet documents and saving as jpeg files
with page 1, page 2, etc.
With MDI, will I be able to merge additionally scanned in document
sheets into an existing MDI file ? For example, I try to keep a
running file on one of the several medical clinics that I visit. Once
I have scanned in several sheets and closed the first MDI file, will
I be able to append additional informational sheets into that existing
MDI file ?
Also, are the files created with use of MDI readable from other image
viewers, such as IrfanView: will either application be able to pull in
and display their inddependantly produced TIF files ?
Also, is is possible to get a TIF image that is saved on disc into a
MDI (empty) window, e.i., without scanning the original paper
document?
Thanks.

I thank you in advance for your attention to this question... Tag: JS/downloader.agent Tag: 322151
.NET Framework Question
I'm running WXP Pro Version 2002 Svc Pack 2. I just attempted to install
SyncToy V1.4, but a window popped up advising me "This setup requires the
.NET Framework version 2.0.50727." It offered me a link, but the link was
broken and I was redirected to a web page with multiple choices, none of
which I understand. I am not a developer; I simply want to install the basic
requirements that will permit me to run SyncToy. If anyone can point me to
the appropriate .NET download, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your help. Tag: JS/downloader.agent Tag: 322147
Use of Partition Magic
Hi Folks,
Thanks to several of you people responding to an earlier question that I
had asked re: "one drive, two partitions", I have chosen to use Partition
Magic to solve the problem. However, because I honestly don't know what I'm
doing, I'm needing some more help. Partition Magic has identified my
computer's drive configuration as follows: II. Existing Configuration:
A. Partition: Disk 1
1. Local Disk (C:)
a) Type: FAT 32
b) Size: 8001.1 MB
c) Used: 6499.6 MB
d) Un-used: 1501.5 MB
e) Status: Active
f) Primary/Logical: Primary
2. (*)
a) Type: Extended
b) Size: 11076.1
c) Used: 11076.1
d) Un-used: 0.0
e) Status: None
f) Primary/Logical: Primary
3. Local Disk (D:)
a) Type: NTSF
b) Size: 11076.0
c) Used: 882.1 MB
d) Un-used: 10193.9 MB
e) Status: None
f) Primary/Logical: Logical
Partition Magic gives me the following choices: I. Options
A. Tasks:
1. Create a new partition
2. Create a backup partition
3. Install another operating system
4. Resize a partition
5. Redistribute free space
6. Merge partitions
7. Copy a partition
B. Partition Operations:
1. Delete Partition
2. Resize/Move partition
3. Convert Partition
4. Split Partition
I've used a lot of space here, so I'll just simply say, I want one drive,
with one partition labelled C. How should I proceed? Thanks very much.

Grouping files in Wndows
I am running XP .
For many months I have been able to select several similar files and
have them open as a group in the correct program. Four DOC files in
WORD; ten JPG files in my graphics editor for instance.
This has been lost following a recent automatic upgrade to XP.
How do I recover that facility?
Many thanks,

Back-up or copy
In case of a computer problem why is a back-up program used instead of just
copying to a disk or external hard-drive? Tag: JS/downloader.agent Tag: 322133
IE7
This is a continuation of a post on 3-7-08 with PA Bear.
Greetings: I just installed the new IE7 on my Dell Dimensions 2400. It
works, but not too well. It has slowed my computor down. When I click Start
it is several seconds before the menu appears. Sometime it will not appear at
all. When it does and I am able to open a program it will open partiatially
along with two or three other programs that I did not ask for. They are in
pieces. They will not close. Then I may get a box telling me the program is
not responding. I just put a new Seagate Hard Drive in for these same
reasons. I was advised by members of the Dell forum that the HD was the
culprit. It apparently was not. It appears IE7 is the culptit. It works
properly with IE6. I like IE7 and would like to keep it but not under these
conditions. Can anyone advise me about how to make the IE7 work properly.
Your help will be appreciated. Thank you. James
