- Windows XP Support >> Sound settingsHi All
I've some how changed my sound settings so that I can only listen through
the headphone socket and my built in speakers don't work. The headphone
socket also has a red light coming from it which I presume means that the
sound will only come from there.
I cannot find the setting that has doe this, does anyone have any ideas?

This happens after the computer has been on for 10-15 minutes. Do you think I have a bad component on my motherboard? I have tried a different mouse with the same results.

- Windows XP >> Very Odd Process Error?Need some help here. Everytime i try to run almost any
program (whether it be through it's shortcut or it's
executable directly) i receive the following error alert:
"only part of a readprocessmemory or writeprocessmemory
request was completed"
I've searched online most of today, and have yet to find a
solution. I found a ton of stack trace reprots that carry
this error - it's actually a 299L - ERROR_PARTIAL_COPY
error, but's that's as far as i got.
Can anyone shed some light on what i can do to fix this?

definitions)
Much appreciated,

- Windows XP Network >> Networking file structureI'm thinking of improving the file structure of my
network, my first issue is the saving location Windows
uses, Windows defaults most of the time to the My
Documents folder on the users PC, I want every user to
save on the server as default, so when they save a new
word doc, for example, the save dialog box shows the
server drive location and their personal folder on the
server. If anyone can help me that would be great, the
server uses SBS windows 2000, the workstations are all Win
XP.

Windows XP Setup >> Missing option dialogue box when putting in CD
When I used to put a CD in my CD drive, or a USB memory stick in the USB
port, I used to get a box pop up giving me a choice of what to do with the
CD, i.e. which programme, or open a folder to view files etc. This has
stopped for some reason, can anyone tell me how to get it back?

Windows XP Setup >> Missing option dialogue box when putting in CD
At some point you've probably checked the box that says "always perform this
action" when the prompt comes up. For the CD drive: open My Computer and
*right* click on the drive icon. Go to the AutoPlay tab and select the
"Prompt me" radio button. The same is true of the USB drive but you'll have
to insert the drive first.

- Windows XP Support >> Problem with attachments.I have had a couple people who use Outlook Express for their email,
tell me that they can't open .wmv movies that I send to them. They
report getting the following error message:
Cannot find file://:c:\qualcomm\eudora\attach\(file name).wmv. Make
sure path or Internet address is correct.
The last complaint I received, the guy replied to my letter, and the
file that I attached played just fine for me from his reply, so the
file is getting sent.
I have Eudora set for MIME encoding of attachments, and to put text
attachments in the body. Can anyone tell me any suggestions on how
they can see my videos? Is this a Outlook Express problem or something
I'm doing?
P.S. Sending this to microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support &

- Windows XP >> Text-to-speechI type a lot of long documents in MS Word on an XP
machine. Often, I don't have time to have others proof
read my stuff and prefer my readers think my education
wasn't a waste. Many years ago (Windows 3.1 days) I used
to have a little app that would read my text back to me.
It sounded very "computerish" but got the job done. I
could at least catch grammatical and gross spelling
errors.
I've fiddle around with text to speech in Windows XP but
can't make it do very much. Am I on the right track in
assuming this will read back written text? If so, can
anyone point me to instructions (for the lay person) on
how to configure it.
My hardware/software is as follows:
-Intel D845WN MB w/P4 2.0Ghz
-512MB RAM
-MB-integrated sound
-Windows XP Pro SP1 and all the latest updates
-MS Office XP Pro w/SP2
Thanks for your help

to archive large Photoshop data files. I'm aware that there are a number of

- Windows XP >> different user accountsHi,
I have an XP machine with two different user accts. One
works fine, the other doesn't. both are adm's. Everytime
I open a program on the bad one, such as Word Or IE6 or
OE6, the cpu usage goes to the max, and then basically
dies. I can connect to my DSL thru the good acct, but not
thru the bad one. I ran Ad Aware, didn't find much. Any
ideas, since most of my stuff is on the bad acct. Had to
run AdAware thru the good user acct, as it wouldn't even
install thru the bad one. Tried repairing IE, says it
can't.
HELP!!

- Windows XP Support >> Color Boxes Around Desktop IconsEarlier today I had a virus/spyware infection on my computer. It messed up
my desktop background and I was finally able to reset it and fix it through
this board.
Now I have another problem, the Icons on my desktop which used to be
transparent so I could see my background through them now have a color box
around them. I know that when I right-click and go to properties-desktop I
have the option to change the color of the boxes around the Icons, however I
would like to remove the color box completely and take my icons back to being
transparent.
I scoured the boards and there are the solution attempts I have already made:
Right-click on My Computer-Properties-Advanced-Performance Settings
The CUSTOM button is checked and when I scroll down the "Use Drop Shadows
for Icon labels" is checked.
I have unchecked and hit apply then gone back and rechecked and hit apply
It does not fix the problem.
I have also gone through the 4 steps which a poster says must be fixed in
order for the transparent boxes to appear. I meet all of the requirements
for the steps however the problem is still not fixed.
Please someone help me I have been at this two days straight now!
Thanks
