- Windows XP >> Can't delete font (ttf file) w/o rebooting Windows XP.Hello, I need to periodically update a *.ttf file from the windows\fonts
folder. When I try to delete that font, it says "access denied". I do
have admin priviledges so the problem I believe is that something is using
that file. According to the vendor of the application that uses the font,
i need to kill a certain process that uses the ttf file, but that didn't
help. I always have to reboot the computer in order to free up the ttf
file. I have to update a multitude of PCs at our site and I'm searching
for an automated way--perfereable one that doesn't require a reboot.

- Windows XP >> svchostI have a machine running Windows XP. Quite frequently the
machine shuts down when connected to the internet. I know
this sounds like the recent Blaster virus but I have
patched the machine, scanned for viruses and nothing has
been found, all up to date.
I have an svchost file which is running at around
270,000kb which I think is particularly high. I tend to
get an error warning about Virtual Memory but I have tried
all configs for this without success. I have 512mb RAM and
a 60GB HDD. If I remove my USB Scanner and Web Cam, the
svchost file reduces in size to 3500kb. Surely this is
wrong. It stops the virtual memory message from popping up
too.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and did you find a
solution? I don't want to have to re-install everything
on my machine if I don't need to.

intellectual property it had access to and so it is now being sued by
symantec.

I wonder if Vista will ever be released if law suits continue by the
day! Perhaps M$ should stick with XP and it can raise the required
revenues for its stock holders by charging for patches!!

- Windows XP Hardware >> My Computer Key Not WorkingI just purchased a Microsoft Wired 500 PS/2 keyboard. Everything seems to be
working great except the "My Computer Key" doesn't seem to work. Every other
multifunction key works fine, including Mail, Internet Explorer Home,
Favorites, Volume Control, Mute, Windows Media Player and Calculator. I'm
using Windows XP x64 Professional with the standard windows drivers.
Does this sound like a faulty keyboard or is there some explanation as to
why this key isn't working. Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> Issue with Remote Desktop ConnectionFirst time I've posted to this group. Let me know if there is another
group that would be better to post this in.
I have been using Remote Desktop to connect to various different
computers running XP Pro from another XP Pro machine.
I've been having problems with two of them, which seem to have the same
symptoms.
* After I restart them I can log in using Remote Desktop just fine.
Later I can not and have to restart the remote system.
* I have tied to make sure I "log off" the remote machine instead of
just closing the remote desktop window.
* When it fails, it usually connects and asks for credentials. After
submitting my user name and password it just sits there for a while then
the window closes.
* One of the machines is also connected to it's own
monitor/keyboard/mouse. When I'm having connection problems I can not
get it to display anything on the monitor. There is a printer connected
to it, and that and other services continue to work, so I know the
system is still running.
* I have tried disabling sleep mode on both machines, but no luck.
* I have not seen any messages in the Event logs that appear to be
connected to this.
* One machine is on a domain with a SBS 2003 server. I can login to the
server and manage the remote machine. I can not remotely restart the
machine from the server unless I tell it to force hung applications to quit.
From all this I wonder if the some service used by remote desktop is
not closing properly when I log off the remote machine and is not
letting me login again since it is still running.
Any thoughts or ideas would be great!

- Windows XP >> virtual memory settings, where are they? sound problemin Halflife games/steamI know in ME/98 there was a way to change the amount of virtual memory. It
looks like in XP the paging file is the equivalent of this. Is that right?
If not, where can I change it to make my virutal memory bigger. I have
increaseased paging file size by 1,000mb greater than the default settings.
I have all the latest drivers, but I am having an audio/lag problem in the
games I play online. Whenever an audio (automated voice) comes up to tell me
to do something in the games, I get a 1 second stoppage. It is almost like
the computer skips in the data transfer. The games are all HalfLife mods
used through the network program called Steam.
I was told that this is probably a cache problem and that I should increase
the virutal memory.

Windows XP Support >> Folder not displayed in Windows Explorer
I have a new notebook with Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2.
I have a folder called "HP Notebook" under the C drive that I created
last week and used to contain certain files from my old notebook
restored from an external HD using Windows Backup utility. Everything
worked fine last week.
I decided to delete everything under this folder and restore every
users documents and settings from the external HD (no system stuff).
The backup utility seemed to work OK and said it completed 14,000+
files.
When I looked for C:\HP Notebook using Windows Explorer, it was not
visible. However, if I search for a file that I know exists, the
results show "C:\HP Notebook\...directory path
further...\searchedfilename".
In Control Panel, I think I have everything set to display all folders
regardless of what they are (Hidden, System, etc.).
I'd like to delete this "hidden" folder. Can someone help?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Use one of these two Utilities to delete them in one click:
http://www.ccleaner.com
http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/index.htm
When all cleared check the Hide system files/folder back on.
HTH.
Please let us know if that was helpful.
Regards,
nass

I'm late replying, because I posted on my lunch hour and could not try
suggestions until I got home.
The utility from www.purgeie.com did the trick!!! I don't know why I
couldn't see the file - makes no sense. By the way, the commands
entered in command prompt did not work, and the dir command did not
show the folder. I didn't know how to try to delete the folder using a
short name. At any rate, the monster (3 gb, I suspect) is gone!
Thanks for all suggestions.
Mike

- Windows XP Setup >> can't get WinXPHome to renistall or recoverI added a NVidia AGP 4x video card. It worked but then in
certain applications the background went to black. I
tried to reboot the system but when it got to the WInXP
splashscreen with the green running indicators on it,
after a bit they stopped and a blue screen appeared
indicating a registry probem and that it couldn't load.
To goback and try safe mode, etc. For safe mode, safe
mode in command mode, restarting with most recent good
configuration, start in normal mode, all I got was the
starting windows splash and then the blue screen
indicating registery problem. I put in my XPHome cd and
booted from there and tried recovery but I got the blue
screen and it rebooted itself. I then tried the XP Home
install. The program started, went to the searching for
prior installation, then went to the registery problem
blue page. I will not let me reinstall because when it
searches for prior installations, it encounters a
registery problem. any help would be appreciated.

everything was hunky dory. Since adding the extra
profile, my computer will not go into standby mode. The
settings in my profile are set to go to standby after 20
minutes. In her profile it will not allow me change the
settings. So, how can I get A: the system to go into

- Windows XP Support >> Replacing that awful MS Sans Serif font!I just got a shiny new LCD monitor, turned on ClearType, and am living in a
world of crisp font goodness like I never thought possible.
All of this comes to a crashing halt when I look at some of the utilities I
use every day, like the K9 spam filter. These programs use the bitmapped "MS
Sans Serif" font, which looks HORRIBLE on my new screen. The small,
pixelated characters almost appear to have a white aura around them -- an
optical illusion which makes text very hard to read.
I did find references to the FontSubstitutes registry key, but "MS Shell
Dlg" is already pointing to the antialiased "Microsoft Sans Serif".
Is there something, anything, I can do to force Windows to use "Microsoft
Sans Serif" (which I assume has the same character set and widths as its
ugly cousin) instead of "MS Sans Serif"? Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> Most used documents.Anyone know a reason why I on occasion lose my list of recently used files

Asking here as MOST USED DOCUMENTS are common throughout MS programs under
FILE dropdown and they remained in Wopd.
Thanks
