    - 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.

    - Turning off the hard disk Hi, I would like to save power and also not to repeat having to replace both my fans, as happened on my previous computer, by using the "turn off hard disk" feature reached from "Control Panel"> "Power Options" after 1 hour, say, but my book does not explain what do I do to "get the power back on". 1) Do I just press a key on the keyboard, say 2) Is the state of the system then still there so I can continue my work or do I need to do something else ?

    - Monitor Settings? I am using Windows XP Home Edition, and browse with both IE7 and the latest version of FireFox. While adjusting my monitorI must have chosen a setting that caused a display problem. For example, if I browse to www.clusty.com I am unable to view the blue bar or the "Clusty" patch logo - but everything else is still there. Another example is www.abstractfonts.com. With this website I can view everything except the font list examples. Instead of sample fonts I only see empty white boxes where the sample fonts should be. If I click on a box I can then see the detail of the font with no problem. Please help! Tag: labels under desktop icons Tag: 322185

    - .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.

    - 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. -- Dr. Sinister Tag: labels under desktop icons Tag: 322136

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?

    - 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 I just put a new Seagate Hard Drive in for these same reasons.

    - Missing dll files in Temp folder Windows XP SP2 - 1 user account and 1 admin account The user account was infected on 2 April, probably with virtumonde. Between Norton and SpyBot it seems to have been fixed. In the course of working the problem, I manually deleted numerous files from various temporary folders, especially exe and dll files modified at the time of infection. Now when I log on to that account, I get three small pop-up windows alerting me that files C:\Docume~1\Barry\LOCALS~1\Temp\hgGyWOFu.dll C:\Docume~1\Barry\LOCALS~1\Temp\Yjgldenv.dll C:\Docume~1\Barry\LOCALS~1\Temp\awtutUNh.dll could not be found. I assume no real system file is ever stored in a user's temporary folder. Everything seems to work after acknowledging the alerts so I'm hoping these files were part of the virus. I assume the alerts are the result of some residual crap in the registry. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the alerts? Remove del for email Tag: labels under desktop icons Tag: 322052

    - Get Problem Free PC Performance With Windows Registry Cleaner Windows registry cleaner should be regularly used to keep the PC registry up to date and free from errors. Window registry is database file maintained by the Windows operating system to keep the software and hardware configuration and system settings of the computer. Windows registry is a more organized way of storing the vital information as the system can access them in less time and with better accuracy. Microsoft introduced the registry in their Windows 95 version. In previous versions of Windows these information about system settings was stored in the INI files. As these INI files were stored all over the hard disc in a scattered way, it took the system more time to access these data that made the system slower. As Windows registry is meant to store the settings of the PC it generated a new entry each time you make any changes to your PC settings through the control panel and install or uninstall a program. As you keep using the PC that requires you to make regular changes to the PC settings, the number of registry entries keeps on increasing. All these entries especially the outdated and old entries are no longer used by the system. For better performance of your PC you should remove these unimportant entries with a Windows registry cleaner....

    - XP Installation problems- please help! I have a laptop which was runnning Windows 2000 and I'm trying to install Windows XP on it. I did manage to get it on but I must have made some mistake somewhere as on startup it was giving me the option to boot into either XP or Windows 2000. Before explaining the current status I should just explain exactly what I'd like to acheive ideally. One hard drive (C) with the full amount of storage space (10GB) running Windows XP. That's it! Nothing more, nothing less. So I have tried to do a few things- deleting partition, re-installing XP and now I'm really confused! When I startup now, I get 3 choices from the boot screen: Windows XP Home Edition Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP Setup If I select Windows XP Home Edition it says: Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. COuld not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documemntation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information. If I select Windows 2000 Professional it gets me into Windows 2000. If I go to Computer Management>Disk Management there it reads: C: 5GB FAT32 - Primary Partition Unallocated 4.36GB Right-clicking on either of these doesn't give me an option to either delete or format. If I try Windows XP Home Edition Setup it says: Welcome to Setup To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER Insert the CD labeled Windows XP Home Edition CD ROM I then put in the disk and press enter. I then get the following screen: The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on this computer 9586MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MPR] C: Partition1 (VAIONOTE) [FAT32] 5122MB 979MB free Unpartioned space 4463MB If I press 'D' on C, it says: Setup is unable to perform the requested operation on the slected partition. This partition contains temporary Setup files that are required to complete the installation. 'D' doesn't work on the unpartitioned space. If try to set up on C, it says: The partition you have chosen is too full to contain Windows XP which requires a drive with at least 1033MB of free disk space. I also have the following options: To repair a Windows XP intallation using Recovery Console, press R To quite Setup without installing Windows XP press F3 So, what do I do????!!!

    - Internet time Hi, My Dell XP (0.5 year old) has a problem in its clock. It always gives me wrong time. It happens even after I manually change the time. Eventually I have to download a utility that is scheduled to automatically adjust time several times a day. But still the computer still switches time to a wrong one sometimes. I try to check and uncheck different options (e.g. "automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes", "automatically adjust clock via internet") in XP's "date and time properties" dialog. It doesn't help. Is it a hardware issue? Any help is much appreciated. I am quite frustrated with recent Dell's quality. JD Tag: labels under desktop icons Tag: 322030

On computer 2, I get an error message. "Can't find the file specified". The help button identifies the missing file as c:\windows\sysyem32\mshtml.hlp I checked both computers' folders and find that each contains two files: mshtml.dll and mshtml.tlb.

    - White screen freeze Hi my lap top has devleoped some problem on boot up. It just freezes onto a white screen on boot up before I see any graphics. It looks as though it can access the DVD/CD drive but any attempt to boot up with a recovery disc fails in the same white screen and it freezes. I have tried the manufacturers advice as powering up with the F12 key pressed and another suggestion on the CD to hold the C key down whislt turning on the power brings the same result. Nothing bu the white screen. I have treid F8 to see if I can get into safe mode but it won't move on past the initial clunking of the drives and then silence. I can't think of any way to get this to allow me to move on. I am sure you can though? I would be happy to format and reload but if I can't access the drive then how can I do that?

    - I need help with the Windows XP Service Pack 2!! I recently started getting a lot of spyware, adware, and trojan horses on my computer. I then went online and bought Norton 360, but it could not finish downloading because my computer told me I needed to download Windows XP Service Pack 2. I went to the Microsoft website to get the service pack, and everything was fine until it finished. When it finished, the webpage displayed a message saying something along the line of "this webpage cannot be displayed" and so on and so forth. I tried other service pack links to download, and none of them have worked out. All I am trying to do is finish downloading my Norton 360, which so far I haven't been able to do.

    - EVERYTHING is Gibberish - Can't restore, HELP! I just ran Autopatcher for the first time - it ran for a good 20 minutes installing Windows updates. When my computer restarted all the text was gibberish - any text associated with an icon is nonsense - it's not like it's a different language - it's all strange shapes and symbols. I tried to restore Windows to an earlier time but was told it couldn't be done. I tried 3 different times to restore from different times over the last couple of days - got the same message each time that the restore had failed (no other explanation was given). I then tried to reinstall XP using the CD but got a message that what was on the machine is a later version and that I couldn't use the CD. I've started in Safe Mode and get the same gibberish. What happened? How can I fix it - the computer is useless (I'm using another computer right now). Any help would be much appreciated. -- Shankster Tag: labels under desktop icons Tag: 321939

    - Win XP CD won't boot This is a strange one. I'm trying to change my Lenovo desktop machine from (preloaded) Vista back to XP. I have a legit XP CD, all the XP drivers for that machine from the Lenovo website and am familiar with installing XP. I've changed the boot sequence to CD, but the machine simply won't boot from the XP CD. The drive starts and continues to run, but there is no boot activity. Just for fun I tried booting from an old Win 98 CD and it will boot, but when I replace the 98 with the XP the machine just quits responding. Any ideas? And another question - If I can boot with the 98 CD, would I accomplish anything by formatting the hard drive at that point, then attempting to install XP? Or would I totally screw up the system? It's almost as if Vista refuses to acknowledge that XP exists. Lenovo has been no help - they just keep telling me to do what I've already done. Any help greatly appreciated.

    - Two partition drive I've got a Sony Vaio PCG-FXA36; one drive, two partitions; C part has a 7.8GB capacity with 19% free space at this point in time; D part has a 10.82GB capacity with 92% free space at this point. C part is FAT32; D part is NTFS. The problem: Eventually, I will get down to 15% free space on C part and will not be able to defrag; I continually try to transfer as many files as I can to the D part, but there are some things that I just can't transfer, like O.S. files, etc. If I had known more about computers when I had bought this one, I would have asked more questions and probably would have avoided buying a computer that is configured in this manner. However, that being said: Question: Can I reconfigure the drive into one partition, lose the "D", and do it under the NTFS file system? If so, how do I do it? Thank you.

I used to have tannish-gray horizontal boxes with black outlines and black
letters under my desktop icons, and I liked them. About a week ago, after a
Windows update, these changes to bright neon blue boxes with white letters
and without borders. I searched and searchd under themes, appearance, etc.,
but cannot find how to get my old favorite gray with black letters and
borders back. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

Did the windows update update the graphics driver? If so goto to the device
manager and roll back the graphics driver.
