 - program windows not closing I have a strange problem. If i open a program window e.g. internet explorer, all is well for a short time, then the window refuses to respond to any command even to close. I then open prog man with ctrl alt del then close it by clicking twice on the 'x' close box(it won't close on the first click) then all is well again for another length of time. It isn't the same amount of time each time. I've run more malware and AV progs, online AV the lot. still can't fathom it. any help will be rewarded in heaven :) TIA Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323766

 - copying many files to 1 dir Can you help me please. I have; many directories with 1 or 2 gif files in each I want to; copy gif files from many directories to one directory. I downloaded xxcopy. but it was too complex for me to find the correct command. Many years ago I could write .bat files. but have forgotten most of that. I have spent most of the morning moving them 1 or 2 at a time, and I think there has to be an easier way! -- Peggy Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323731

 - Can I edit what's displayed in the "Type" column of Details view? Somewhere along the upgrade path Irfanview not only assigned itself to open almost all image files but started changing what they're called in the folder details view, from JPG to "Irfanview JPG File", BMP to "Irfanview BMP File", etc. Apart from the effrontery of the act, it also means I have to keep that column 9 letters wider than I'd like, sheer wastage since I can already tell it's an "Irfanview ... File" by the little red logo attached in the name column. Where can I edit these back to display simply JPG File, etc? I've looked in Folder Options / File Types, and the files are all JPG File, etc. rather than the annoying "Irfanview xxx". (I do find the "Irfanview xxx" under Associated File Types if I want to define a new registered file type in the Create New Extension box. But that doesn't explain why, for instance, JPG shows as simply "JPG File" in Folder Options but "Irfanview JPG File" in the Explorer window itself.) And yes, I know I can set the Name column to include the full extension, but do like to have the Type column as well, for instance to sort by type or just as a cleaner visual cue.

 - McAfee For several years I had the entire Norton secuity system installed on my computer and I removed it because it made everything work slower. Then I had the free AVG anti-virus program on but was afraid that it was letting certain things in. So, recently, I put on the entire McAfee plan which was free from my high-speed internet provider. But things seem a little slower with it, but only at times, such as when I have several Internet Explorer windows open and many tabs open on, as well as several programs running. In your experience, is this slowness due to McAfee? It's not as bad as with Norton...but it is slower than if I didn't have McAfee at all. Any solutions to this slowness?

 - Svchost.exe generating problems - PC is hanging - have to reboot Hi On our network with about 25 PCs (all with XP SP2 (one with SP3 - also has problem)), some of the PCs have problems with Svchost.exe. The error message they get is: "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". If I look into the error signature details I find: szAppName: svchost.exe szAppVer: 5.1.2600.2180 szModName: TSP5.tsp szModVer: 5.0.980.0 Offset: 0000e203 After the report has been sent to Microsoft the PC is hanging and the PC must be rebooted. Before sending the report you can continue working on the PC (leave the error message on the desktop) The strange thing is that the PCs some time stops with the error message at the same time. I have searched out Exchange/File server to se if there was any related error messages, but I can't find. I have disabled "Windows update" on two of the PCs without any result. (Have manually run Windows update to be sure they are up to date). I have also installed SP3 on one of the PCs, and still that PC has problems. The PCs has been scanned with Windows Defender, Trend Micro Anti virus, and Spybot S&D. No problem can be found. I have searched the Internet without find any solution. Some products are advertising for "solving all svchost.exe problems" (True Sword). I am not sure if I can trust the product (True Sword), as it for me is not a known product. Please let me know if you have any suggestion on how to proceed. Thanks Harald Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323694

 - slipstreaming a bootable WinXP installation CD I made a backup of my WinXP installation CD by simply copying the files off into a folder and then onto a CD. This turned out to be the wrong way because the process didn't put any boot files onto the CD. I need desperately to reinstall or access the Recovery Console but unfortunately I have misplaced the original installation CD so I cant boot from CD. Since I have got all the installations files on the CD I copied , is it possible to slipstream the boot files and make a bootable CD? How do I go about it? Which boot files are needed?

 - Computer never goes into standby My Dell computer has Windows XP Pro. My problem is that when I specify a standby time with: Desktop, Properties, Screensaver, Power, the computer never obeys these durations and never goes into standby. The screen saver works fine, and the time I select does'nt influence my problem (whether longer or shorter than standby time). I had a look into the registry, and I found this: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\0] "Name"="Home/Office Desk" "Description"="This scheme is suited to most home or desktop computers that are left plugged in all the time." 0 01 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 8 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [snip] Is there any documentation anywhere about the meaning of these numbers?

 - Automating details view? A year ago for several months, I followed all the instructions on fixing getting details view in Windows XP pemanently but nothing works reliably. I've followed instructions on new computers that I've gone to when I go to new job contracts and there is no permanent fix. If setting it the first time doesn't work the first time, it usu. never works at all permanently and I have to reset to details view every single new reboot. s'okay. I've learned to live with it somewhat as one of the stupid little XP flaws can't work around (and, yes, followed ALL the instuctions given in this ng and from other places.) I've gotten around this XP flaw by using WE replacement. The difficulty lies in that scripts I don't want to change use WE first. To this end, I'm trying to find a way to automate setting details view on boot up. This fresh install around I'm not even getting the usu. minimal co-operation with XP and I seem to have to reset periodically, not even just upon reboot. I'm hoping for a vb script _or_something_ that will do this reset for me as I've lived with the reboot problem for a long time but can't stand that now I don't even have this. I'd just put the solution in my startup folder so that at least I'll have to do this less often. Too bad I rely on my folder scripts so much, but there you go ... Is there anything that can help with this? Again, I followed _every_ single line of instruction given in this ng and in other places over a period of several months and this is just one of those things that isn't reliably fixed. As I mentioned above, if the setting works the first time, it will work always, but if after a reboot XP reverts back to the default view, I have to reset after each reboot always. And watch out if you change the setting! It seems to be a one-time only deal, as I found to my cost. So no longer looking to fix the XP flaw, looking to automate setting folder view to details view on each reboot instead. Can this be done somehow? Thanks! :oD Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323622

 - Themes keep changing Starting a few months ago, whenever I reboot my computer (XP Home) it starts up with 'My Favorite Theme' loaded, then at some point in the startup it reverts to 'Windows XP (Modified)', causing me to have to bring up the properties and set it back to 'My Favorite Themes'. Not earth shattering, but still an annoyance. Additionally, sometimes (not always) the Sound Theme and Pointer Themes also revert back to some generic theme. If anyone has a 'cure' for this I will be grateful. Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323620

 - Multiple Drive letters per partition I have two drives 500Gb each - identical I have multiple partitions on each for future OS's and data areas. I just noticed that some of the partitions on the second drive have several letters assigned to them in the left column of my File managers This system is only about 2 months old. The primary drive (the one with my daily XP64 in the first partition ) has only one letter per partition C-D-E and F My sole DVD player is assigned G The secondary drive (where there is a test version of XP64 on the primary partition) has H and H again - primary partition F and I - on next partition Shows up as I:\ when selected G and J - next shows up as J :\ when selected to display H and K and K - next shows up as K:\ I and L next shows up as L:\ when selected M - next N - next So there are no conflicts in the access only in the listing of these letters after the Volume name in the left column.... and the assignments are operationally sequential These may have appeared at anytime in recent weeks - I do not use them (I use M as my sole data partition till now) and so have not paid much attention until I just decided to begin using a second data partition - and looked closer at what I had to pick from. The only clue I have to this behavior -- is just recently I went from running exclusively from the default Admin Logon - to creating a second admin account (new name) and when i realized i lost acccess to all my settings and tweaks in the default I copied as much as i could from the default Admin folder to the new folder (not sure i got everything that would copy but most - except items that were "in use" and couldn't be overwritten) Not sure if this is the cause of this but i would like to clear this up.

 - Folders reverting to default format Lately it seems that when I open a folder, it often comes up not in the format (size, choice of 'View') it had before closing but in some kind of generic size and showing Tiles (never a choice I use!). Not a big deal on a case by case basis, but it's happening increasingly and often enough to be a nuisance .. plus it seems a possibly worrisome symptom. Possibly related -- occasionally when opening a document in Wordpad it will open in a landscape format, with several inches of blank to the right of the right margin, rather than the more portrait-shape display with window squeezed down to the margins that I always adjust it to. This has been happening sporadically "forever". Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323611

 - Frequent copying of large number of folders & files I asked this over in the xpmusic group also but thought I might improve my chances by putting it here as well. I regularly copy my music files to a second internal hard drive and also to a removable Lacie. The exercise consists of a folder with a hundred or so sub folders containing 9,000+mp3 files. Is there any way to copy only those files which aren't already on the two backup drives? Or do I just have to wear the 90 minutes it takes for each one to copy each file? thanks for helping. -- Hoges in WA Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323567

 - "Incorrect Function" for CD burning O/S Windows XP Home Edition I am having a problem with my CD drive that looks like a software issue. The basic background is that I can use the "D" drive to play music CD's but am unable to write text to the CD and when I try to "save as" from Word, I get the following error message "Incorrect Function You do not have access to the folder 'D:\'. See your administrator for access to this folder" The CD which was working six months ago is a Samsung CDRW/DVD SM-308B DVD/CD-ROM drive that is OEM with the IBM unit. Since I generally save day-to-day files to a floppy, I seldom use the CD for storage but am in need of it now for some large file creations. I have run a "Troubleshoot" on the hardware and it comes back as working without problems. I have also checked for software updates but the driver is current. I have searched the Microsoft Knowledge base to find a relative solution but the problems do not appear to resemble mine. I have no idea where to look for an answer and most importantly a "fix" so if there is someone in here who can guide me it would be appreciated. It is possible that it is an easy fix but I am not the brightest penny when it comes to registries and buried files so if you have a solution, perhaps I could ask you to be specific in your guidance. Thank you for your help. Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323536

 - How do I get rid of a partially installed 2nd operating system? My 2 year old computer needed to have the system mirror reinstalled. In addition to the system mirror there was a copy of SP2, but before I could install that it automatically downloaded and installed 67 updates to XP. I asked here if I should also install the SP2 disk and the early advice was that I should. So I did. Since the updates already did what was necessary, the computer started to install a 2nd XP operating system. (maybe I did something else wrong, but I don't know what.) When I realized what was happening I aborted the second install, but it is now hanging there. When I boot it asks if I want to use the first operating system or the one that is partially installed. I tell it to use the first and all is well. But I would like to get rid of the partial install so I don't have to answer the question every time. How can I do that?

 - folder options in folder options you have the opportunity to "show hidden files and folders" and "do not show hidden files and folders"___these settings have become simply reversed "I.E." the selected "show hidden files and folders", in actual fact becomes "hide hidden files and folders"___I have done a sfc /scannow, with no difference. The display "show the contents of system folders" is selected and "hide protected operating system files" is selected____this is not a crucial problem , but I would like to know what has happened to my folder options With kind regards From OZ Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323521

 - XCOPY's capabilities Many moons ago, before settling on Drive Image and GHOST to make complete backup clones of my Master Operating System, I tried XCOPY and couldn't successfully produce a bootable cloned system on a Slave hard drive. I got good advice here. (Thank you, Richard). I don't want to start that research over again to answer one of my colleagues who has asked me why I don't just use XCOPY, with its many switches. May I have a few answers to that question? Great details not required, and thank you. Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323520

 - No sound from Speaker I have just reformatted the hard drive and placed windows xp home edition back on. I am getting no sound from speakers. I went into device manager and under audio device on high definition audio bus there is a yellow question mark. I clicked it and it says drivers are not installed. So i pressed reinstall drivers and it came up with a hardware install wizard asking me to insert the recovery disc cd. I did this and it says it could not find the software to load the driver. Any ideas? -- Max de Winter Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323507

 - Windows XP performance issue I have a Dell 5150 box that used to have Windows 2000 on it. I recently upgraded to Windows XP and noticed that downloading files from our server is extremly slow. a 2MB file takes about 5 minutes to download to the computer. However, if we upload the 2MB file to the server, it works great. What could be going wrong. When the computer was Windows 2000 we had no speed problems. As soon as we switched the OS, it's very slow. I tried changing the speed and duplex settings on the computer and switch but no combination worked. I even replace the network card and nothing. Any ideas? Thanks, Jasper Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323502

 - Do I have to use a SP2 disk? I have a 2 year old Dell laptop. It was getting increasingly flaky and nothing seemed to fix it, so I reloaded the original disk mirror. That seemed to fix it, but it immediately started downloading a Windows update as soon as I established an internet connection (which was one of the things that didn't work before). The computer came with a system mirror disk and a SP2 disk. I am assuming I don't have to use the SP2 disk, as the update will take care of that. Is that correct? Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323500

 - Error in Bios Some hardware is causing errors!! I believe the hardware is my D drive, since the very first error listed storage at the top of the error and then later my D drive went missing! Ran error checking and it came back.. so I'm pretty sure it is my D Drive but to be 100% sure I will need to find the error in Bios.. I was told that if I got to Bios I can find out for sure what is causing the error. . What I need is once I get to Bios, step by step instructions on where to go next. If some kind tech can give me step by step instructioins, then where to go next I would be eternally grateful.. I am getting my new external tomorrow so would love to be able to finish this problem.. thanks Rainy ps I have already been to even viewer System and Applications and found nothing.

 - OPEN ANY EXECUTABLE - SAME PROGRAM OPENS I have a small open source query editor I downloaded to my desktop and have been using for over a year. I got tired of having to clear my desktop to access the icon to open this program. So, I drag and drop the desktop Icon to the Start icon on the task bar and dropped it in the menu like I have many times with other programs. Now no matter what executable ( exe, bat, com, etc ) I attempt to run either from Programs or Windows Explorer, the query editor opens. I removed the icon from the Start menu but didn't change anything. I have rebooted, etc - no change Running Windows v 5.1 build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 : Service Pack 2 Additional note: This is on a Toshiba Satellite laptop that came with VISTA :( OS which was removed and replaced with XP PRO :) Any ideas?

 - Does such an application exist? I apologise in advance for posting a question that is a bit off topic to Windows XP, but you folks are SO knowledgable and helpful that I really didn't know which forum would be better to pose this question in: Does anyone know of a hardware application which would let me write on a pad beside my computer and whatever I wrote on that pad would appear on my computer screen? A kind of notepad that would instantly appear on the screen? I thank you in advance for your attention to this question... Tag: Unable to Download Tag: 323454

I use Windows XP Service Pack 2 and IE7.
I have been trying to download Flash Player, I click on download and am
asked to add the ActiveX Control which I do. Then the box appears inviting me
to Install, which I click on, the box goes, then nothing.
I have checked the ActiveX Controls list for my computer and the one for
Flash Player isn't there.
This is just an example of one of the things I have tried to download,
nothing works.

Help, please?

Regards

Alan

Try configuring IE to allow scripting. Disable popup blockers. If that
doesn't work, see if putting their site in the Trusted Sites security
zone works for you.
