    - Can't close application with Alt+F4 or the X I was wondering if anybody might happen to know what's going wrong here: When a co-worker tries to close her program by clicking the X in the top right it doesn't do anything, and Alt+F4 won't work either. There is no error message just doesn't respond to either one of the actions above. Thanks! Tag: Putting icon on desktop on pda Tag: 324072

    - old update problem? XP Pro SP 2 I just looked over my update log and found one failure from some time back, altho I didn't see a failure notice at the time. That was Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (JB928366}. On Microsoft I saw that quite a few people had that problem, and the solution was to download it manually (address given) and install it manually. With Framework 2 installed in the intervening time, should I or should I not download and try to install the old failed update? Would installing the old update backlevel something so that I would need to reinstall Framework 2?

    - USB Port not working in XP IBM Netvista, latest BIOS, XP-P with latest patches/updates. Symptoms appear on SP2 as well as SP3. All of a sudden I lost my USB Ports on the computer. I think it happened because of a power failure, but not sure. I hear the pacifier beep in the speaker when connecting my mouse or thumb drive, however, neither responds. the mouse LED lights, but cursor remains in the middle of the screen. I don't have a USB keyboard so I can't test the USB connection during BOOT. I suspect it will work. The mouse will not be recognized until the OS loads. The thumb drive makes the same beep, but I never see it displayed as a removable drive or any drive for that matter. The PS2 mouse works just fine. Using a USB to PS2 adaptor does not work either. Any ideas?? I'm stumpbed on this one. The MSKB isn't of any help so far. Thanks Tag: Putting icon on desktop on pda Tag: 324065

    - Battery failure Would your computer stop working all of a sudden one day if the motherboard battery, the 2032 organize battery I think, stops working? The computer worked when I changed the monitor but then it stopped working shortly after that. Then it didn't matter what monitor I tried, it just wouldn't fire up. I checked everything almost, reseated the RAM, checked the power supply, tried another video card, checked the hard drive, used different parallel straps. I mean I went through all I could think of, except the motherboard battery. By accident I discovered that it wasn't working. Do you think that could be the problem? Is that a common problem of a PC going on the blink? Would it start up after a rest and then finally shut down? It seems like the battery on my flashlights get better once they aren't on, but once you turn the flashlight back on, the flashlight dims out. I'm thinking about putting the whole PC back together now and trying out a battery that I know works. Ok, this is the truth. I took out the battery and changed it with another one and I think the one I changed it with was bad. I'm not sure, but I know I did change the battery. I was trying out my battery tester and found out the right option on the tester to test 3 and 1 1/2 volt batteries. So, I'm not sure if the original battery I took out was good or bad. That's why I'm asking if it's a common problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, attilathehun1 -- attilathehun1 Tag: Putting icon on desktop on pda Tag: 324050

    - Mouse problem I have been searching for a couple of days but am so unsure if I am doing the right thing, I am posting here. I am trying to play "80 days around the world" and when I do, my cursor shakes, I have reinstalled both the nvidia graphics and the video drivers, uninstalled the game, and manually removing the game folder and also software entries in both hkey machine and hkey user. I also did a search for the game on my computer and deleted everything that came up by that name. Then reinstalled the game, but still my cursor is shaking. I thought it could be my driver for my mouse but the mouse seems to be working ok otherwise . I went to device manager and found that it is listed as a Microsoft ps/2 mouse, ? but know it is a microsoft optical! , $14 at OFFICE max..:) I cannot find my mouse drive, the one that came with the mouse. Windows XP SP3 I think the game started to act up after I installed SP3.. I didn't have a good install, tried to use system restore to remove and start over, but it would not work for me. Any help appreciated as always.. thanks Rainy Tag: Putting icon on desktop on pda Tag: 324009

BTW - WDS4 install just trashed my index of approximately 300.000 documents, without so much as a by your leave sir. That was my data that just got shredded - I call that electronic vandalism.

    - Beed Help - Folder Permissions I am using the so-called Solutions Center for the HP 7200 series AIO, and cannot get the scan function to save what I scan. It shows an error message saying that it cannot do the save. I am using XP PRO SP2. I had created a new folder called c:\My Scans, but I notice the properties say read only. Naturally, I suspect this is my problem, but when I remove the check on read only, it comes right back again. That is, it won't let me remove the check. The XP Helps show that I should be able to change permissions, but it shows doing it via a security tab under the folder's properties. I see no such tab. What am I missing? Am I in the right place to do what I want to do? Do you think this is why I cannot save what I scan? I am the only user of this system with Administrator privileges, I think.

    - ? regarding device manager I have a motherboard (ASUS IPIBL-LA) on an HP computer (M9040N) that was intended for vista. I don't like vista so I wiped it clean and installed xp home. With the help of forums I found drivers for everything so my device manager is clean. My original intent for this computer was something fast for HD video editing. Is my system going to function at 100% or could it be compromised not using the intended OS. If the device manager shows no problems then can I assume everything is OK?

    - Autoplay Feature has Stopped Working The autoplay feature seems to have stopped working on a computer. Autoplay is enabled for all drives including the fixed drives (according to Tweak UI). No matter how I confugure Properties->Autoplay nothing happens when the drive is "activated" - i.e. a DVD is inserted or a camera's plugged in, or a removale disk is attached. If I configure the optical drive to start WMP when a DVD is inserted nothing happens, if I configure it to offer a range of options nothing happens. This used to work I'd insert a DVD and WMP would play it. Same thing with my camera, it used to bring up the camera and scanner wizard - this does not happen any more, nor do I get a range of options. In other words the whole Autoplay feature seems to have stopped working. The OS/Version is XP-Home SP2 - according to Windows Update the only missing updates are SP3 and Silverlight, it's hard to believe that either of those would fix the problem.
