    - Move command XP Hi i'm trying to figure out the MOVE command using the command line. My understanding is that it can be used to move several files and I can accomplish this by using wildcards . But when trying to move 2 or 3 files with different extensions separating the files with "," it fails saying syntax is incorrect. Any tips? -- Regards Oni Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)?

    - AVG Free - Pop up question if you please Sorry if this is off topic, but I am sure there are a lot of windows users who use the free AVG 7.5 virus protection. I am running xpsp2. Is there anyway of stopping the damn thing from opening your browser and displaying an advertisement to update to the pay version 8.0. This happens when I click check for updates. I think it only happens once per day (if you recheck for updates several times), but I am not sure about that. I did some searching in google and failed to come up with an answer.

    - Looking for place Where is there a good place to get info on buying a printer? I've about given up in ink carts and am thinking about color laser printers. A long time ago someone suggested an HP 2550, but I just read that it costs hundreds of dollars when you run out of toner, having to get a new drum, etc. I know you can Google printers, but I don't really want to research thousands and thousands of articles - I'm just looking for a forum or NG that would narrow things down a lot based on long experience, rather than a week to write a review.

    - Troubleshooting was Re: Reinstaling XP It's me again and my apologies for yet another omission. I just renewed my Norton anti-virus subscription and closed the Norton window. After I closed it, I could, for about three or four seconds, see through the Norton window and see the browser's text and what not behind the Norton window. I could see the four blue bars that make up the window square itself. This happens maybe twice a month with Netscape or Firefox. Does that sound like memory problem? Any more ideas on what I can do before I go whole hog and reinstall WindowsXP? I've decided to reinstall only Word and not whole version of OfficeXP I'm using Flock right now. I downloaded it a few days ago and it's leaving today. I thought I'd try it before I reinstalled FF and Netscape and it's not the browser for me at all. It allows me to do things because the programmers want me to be able do them, not because I need to. I think they're called "features." That is one of my biggest gripes about all software. Design and write it for its purpose not because you can. Thanks muchly Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)? Tag: 321683

    - Backup Software rcommendation For Windows XP Home I'm looking for backup software that would do several things: 1. Create an "image" backup suitable for completely restoring to a new hard disk in the event of the original's failure 2. Make quick backups of selected folders of data files, which can be quickly referenced, opened and/or restored. I have Norton Ghost 12.0, but find all the Norton products cause too many other problems, and plan to remove it as soon as I find a substitute. -- PT Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)?

    - Clock Resetting on Power Up I have a problem with the clock on my computer resetting on power up to 01 January 2002 00:00. This happens every time I start the computer and has a knock on effect to other applications. I am running a desktop with Windows XP Media Centre Edition. About four weeks ago I had a problem with pop-ups and advertisements on the computer. The clock then started to change time dramatically. As i thought I had a virus and restoring the system from a previous date would not work, I performed a system recovery. The issue with the pop-ups and advertisements has now been resolved but I was still having trouble with the clock. Then, about two weeks ago, it began to reset each time the computer was switched on. Time synchronisation will not work at all and this problem persists despite now leaving the clock on manual. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)? Tag: 321655

    - Image stacking It looks as if DarbeeVision uses some form of advanced image stacking to do their defocus and subtract to get the depth information. I looked up their US patent # 7043074 and they do have very interesting IP that applies to using image pairs, multiplets. One of their accepted claims even covers aligned image pairs (wouldn't this be the unsharp mask?). I have to go deeper into the image processing functions, though the perceptor does a really good job of finding the image detail. This entire package looks very good! I am very curious how they are able to quickly synthesize a stereo pair, this is usually very labor intensive.http://dvnphoto.com/downloads Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)? Tag: 321642

    - question about xp d recovery drive i have xp home sp2 up to date hp pavillion. ive been having very slow and halting performance and heve had difficulties with some programs. ive done numerous anti-virus scans and malware scans with avg, defender, spybot, spysweeper, counterspy and have found nothing. my scan time over the past week or so went from 3:20 to 6 hours for a total scan of my entire computer. i have 71 gb of space on c drive of which 33% is used. i have 5.27 gb total space on my hp d recovery drive, with 85% used. one of my avg scans of my d drive caused spysweeper to quarantine a ps2 bug from d drive. now it seems to keep showing up during scans of d drive. is it normal to have so much of d recovery drive filled? it use to take only a few minutes to scan it now it takes an hour or more. thanks.

    - What is "Reserved System Space" and what can I do with it? I'm running XP Pro, SP2. I recently did two things. First, I took a 250 GByte FAT external harddrive, backed it contents up to another drive and reformatted it as NTFS, then restored the contents. Second, I installed an incremental defrag program, Diskeeper, on my system. When I looked at the newly reformatted drive Diskeeper reports that over 10% is "Reserved System Space". This is an order of magnitude more than on any of my other 250 or 300 Gbyte drives, or even my one 500 Gbyte drive. Could this be an error in the defrag program? (The company says no.) If such a large chunk of the drive is reserved does that mean that it will never be used for my data? Is there any way to shrink this allocation? I hope this is the right place to ask this. Cyril N.

It also provides all of the features found in Windows Vista Business, including business networking, centralized management tools, and advanced system backup features. Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures. The Basics * Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed, super-fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an enormous 4 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics- intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include: o Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed. o Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications. o Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power. o Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage. * Hard Drive: The dual 160 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives (for 320 GB total) offer one of the largest notebook hard drive capacities currently available (February 2007), and it features a top speed of 5400 RPM. It offers the ability to store a vast multimedia collection as well as raw HD video for editing. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. * Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (PC5300, DDR2 SDRAM, 2 x 1024 MB) offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed, and you have room to grow with a 4 GB maximum capacity. * DVD/CD Drive: This Acer notebook offers the next generation of DVD entertainment with the HD DVD ROM optical drive, which provides the superior image and sound quality of high-definition images and multichannel surround sound as well as backward compatibility with standard DVD movie discs and content burned onto DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM.

    - Reinstall Spider.exe? Is there a way to extract a fresh copy of Spider.exe from the setup CD without reinstalling all of Windows? I think my copy of Spider has been corrupted. I've uninstalled and reinstalled from Add/Remove, but I don't think it's installing a fresh copy of the .exe. Every few weeks the computer locks up while playing Spider. I've updated the video drivers. I have no problems with any other application or Windows functions. Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)? Tag: 321550

    - How do I copy a .bkf file if the regular restore utility does not I have several backups on an external hard drive. I am about to reformat my pc and decided to test the backups I did regularly with the windows backup utility. They do not work. I am getting error messages saying file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used. When I click ok at that error, it comes up with a dialog box to check file location. It says the backup file cannot be found or is not the file requested. I saw a few posts that suggesting just copying the entire .bkf file. How does one do that? The only way to see that file is in the backup program. If I right click on the file, it just says catalog or delete catalog. I can see all the files within each backup but I cannot restore them. It's very frustrating as it would seem that windows would have been able to perfect their backup system by now. I have installed carbonite on all my pc's now. But I would really like to get this reformatting going and the carbonite is going to take a while to complete. Thanks in advance. Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)? Tag: 321539

    - Can't print wirelessly from laptop. I had this working before but can't get it done this time. HP Deskjet 840Cconnected via single port USB print server to 3Com wireless modem/router. Desktop PC connected via ethernet cable to same, printer works OK from there but not from the laptop, it's not seeing the printer at all. I have installed XP drivers on laptop. Internet and e-mail working OK from laptop. Have enabled file and printer sharing in XP and it's the default printer. Also enabled sharing in printer properties. Can ping the print server successfully but trying to print get "document failed to print" message. Went through the troubleshooter, it didn't help. Have gone through Add Printer Wizard but get stuck on which port it's attached to, it's not attached to a port. Tried all the listed ports anyway! Also checked firewall, using the free version of Comodo. Looked here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/honeycutt_july2.mspx but it didn't help. Advice on how to get this working appreciated. -- Kenny Cargill Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)? Tag: 321538

    - spuninst I just found a folder on a secondary hard drive (LOCAL DISK F:) which is used only for backup files. It has a very long name (ef44c9a3432aa7643863a0eef55acfee) and contains spuninst. I don't know why or how it got on this drive. I understand this is to uninstall program updates. I did a search on my C: Drive and found 753 entries but only 1 on my F: Drive.

    - FTP Program I am using XP Pro SP2. I have long been successfully using CuteFTP as my FTP program. I installed Filezilla as well, as I wanted to get familiar with it to be able to recommend it to a friend. I cannot get FileZilla to connect to any of my websites. Could the fact that it is co-resident with CuteFTP be the problem? If so, will I be able to use Dreamweaver to update my sites with CuteFTP installed if I ever wsh to?

    - Tracking Cookie - What am I Doing Wrong? Every morning I have a routine that I follow, visiting many web pages, checking email, etc. Yesterday after going through this routine, I ran Ad-Aware2007 I found 5 Tracking Cookies as follows: Tracking Cookie index.dat insightexpressai.comIXAIBanners948/ The remaining 4 were the same except for the name following the IXAI. I went to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS and added these five Tracking Cookies asd follows: 127.0.0.1 insightexpressai.comIXAIBanners948/ including the other four. I saved this file and then checked it again to make sure the new entries were there. They were. This morning after going through the same routine, running Ad-Aware2007, there were the same five Tracking Cookies.

    - Editing the right click context menu. Hi. I am learning a little about web design. I am hand coding some pages but getting '.html' files to choose between the browser and editor is a pain. I want to right click on a .html file, see 'edit' as an option and it to call NoteTabPro, the editor I am using. I've been in to the folder options, looked at file types, selected 'html' (and 'htm'), and gone into advanced. IN advanced I can see an option for 'edit'. I used browse to point it at the .exe of NoteTabPro... but it still doesn't show when right clicking. Ok, still in advnaced I created a new item, called it "Edit an html file", selected the editor and again, it still doesn't show. OK, whats up? What have I got to do please? This is XP pro, fully patched, SP2. I am admin. Thanks. Tag: XP SP3 - delivery today (24/03/2008)? Tag: 321503

According to neowin.net news (quoting
http://www.crn.com/software/206904757) the release of SP3 is due on
24/03/2008

Could this an Easter Monday surprise plot by MS or an ignorant rumour
spread by some infidel who does not know that 24/03 is Easter Monday?
