- Windows XP Support >> Distorted jpeg images after Firefox installYesterday, I signed onto my PC and found all of my jpeg images on websites
are distorted. I also found an install of Firefox on my desktop. This was
part of some toolbar, probably from Google.
When I looked up the problem on Google, the message came up to use Firefox
instead of Explorer. Firefox does display the jpegs, but why wont Explorer.
I ended up completely reformattting my hard drive and still have the problem
with Explorer.

- Windows XP Support >> Why is "Combine" not possible in MovieMaker ?Ok, I loaded a wmv movie into MovieMaker and put the marker (=blue vertical line in the timeline)
somewhere in the mid of the movie. Then I did a first "split" and just a second one afterwards on
another position with success.
Now I have 3 independent parts. I marked the middle part and deleted successfully.
Finally I wanted to paste the remaining two parts. For that I hold down the CTRL key and selected
with mouse clicks at first the left then the right part.
When I go now to the "clip" menu in order to make a "Combine" operation it is NOT possible.
The menu entry "Combine" is greyed out/disabled.
Why ?
The same occurs if I press the SHIFT key instead of the CTRL key

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> What the... serious explorer bug???Allright, I think this is new, I wonder if somebody else can confirm
this:
If you attempt to start an executable that was downloaded from the web,
by double-clicking in Windows Explorer, Explorer displays a warning
dialog. So far, so good...
Now, while that dialog is open, try to click on the explorer window,
and watch what happens. I tried this on four different machines (all
different hardware and configuration), and in each of those cases, the
dialog starts flickering wildly, depending on the sound card I hear a
series of bloops, or some wild screeching, and winlogon starts chewing
up some serious CPU time. At least on a fast machine, this stops after
a while, but on an old P3 I tested it on, this might ultimately end in
a system crash.
I went back and tried this on a near-virgin install of XP SP2, fully
patched, and the same thing happened. Any comments anybody?

- Windows XP Basic >> I need a substantial keyboardI need a "well made" keyboard, I am thinking waterproof or at least spill proof,
and aluminum keys and shell, and light weight. I don't care about massive amounts
of 'feature buttons' or dynamic looks or natural style for typing, something well
built that will last. Any company known for such a product?

- Windows XP Support >> Briefcase - replacement software or app somewhere?I have been using the Briefcase function for about 2 years now. It has the
type of functionality I need.
The problem is that the sowftare is so unstable and non-user friendly and
then sometimes a really unattractive problem pops up which waste all the time
that the function used to save.
Does anyone know a replacement app that I can buy which is more robust?
thx
fyi: I have had not many problems with Briefcase in the last 2 years - but
when it happens it is just maddening.
The latest one is - and why this started I don't know - any file name with
an Umlaut (the two dots above a letter) - are considered changed on both
computers. Since 2 years this was never an issue. Now it tells me that about
200 files are not going to synchronise becos Briefcase considers them changed
on both computers. It makes me want to throw things around the room. But I
will stay calm and feel better once someone has a replacement.

- customize >> CPU is always 100 percent, why??When I open the Windows task manager it reads that my
computer is constantly using 100% of the CPU. So i looked
under the processes tab to see what was running all the
CPU
and it says SVCHOST.EXE is using about 70 percent and
system is using 30 percent. Is this normal or is it making
my computer work much harder than it needs to?
There are also 7 listings of SVCHOST.EXE in the process
tab
for the image name, only one it running 70 percent of the
CPU
.

Windows XP Network >> Internet Connection Problem
I am having a problem using a completely setup and active
internet connection because my system defauts to a dial-up
connection that I used to use and deleted awhile back.
The dial-up was to MSN, but was deleted a few months ago.
The problem just popped up when I tried to install a
temporary dial-up connection (FYI, my Intenrt connection
options are set to 'never dial a connection.' Now that I
have my broadband back and set it up and made it active I
can't access the internet (or mail).
Please let me know if you have any ideas or know what
registry settings I'd need to edit. Thanks

- Windows XP >> LockupsMy dad has a Dell that is acting up. It has WINXP and
suddenly he is unable to type into any boxes or even
click to forward email. Once the curser is in a type box

- Windows XP Support >> Can't log into Windows XP HomeI have four accounts (five if you include guest account) on my home computer.
They all work perfectly well, except for if I make them limited accounts
they refuse to log in. Whereas if I keep them all as administrative accounts
they are able to. For obvious reason I don't want people in my family that
are less experienced with computers the oppotunity to muddle up the settings
for printers etc.
I can't log into the guest account once I've enabled it either.
When the accounts were set to LIMITED, I am able to set access rights for
people that are administrators and those that are limited. I can't
unfortunately set it up for some administrators and not others.
Anyone got any ideas. It would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time in advance

- Windows XP Setup >> Because of the Network Card: Dell Poweredge400SC cannot standby?Hi all,
My dell poweredge 400sc is using Intel Pro 1000MT Network card.
I amusing Windows XP Pro.
Here is my sad story. Is there a way that I can avoid changing my NIC card
to fix the problem?
-----------------
I feel this is annoying. After being sent to standby and the fan rest for 2
seconds, the Poweredge400sc automatically restart(reboot to logon screen):
everything else is
working, only the monitor was shutdown.
By moving the mouse a little bit or hit a key on the keyboard, the monitor
can be turned on, and it shows a log-on-enter-user-password screen...
That's on!
It only sleeps for 2 seconds then everything was back on: fan, CPU,
harddisk, etc.
What is the problem?
FYI, I have done the following debugging:
1. I downloaded a dumppro.exe, and did in command line:
dumppro admin minsleep=s3
2. I downloaded ATI Rage XL new drivers, so it does not prevent me from
going standby now...
3. I updated the Flash BIOS to version A09, I think it is the newest...
4. I set the NIC to be allowing remote wake-up on LAN.
5. I set in the BIOS the suspend mode to be S3, and the low power mode to be
off(so I can remotely wake it up on LAN from hibernation or off, but that's
another issue. I now want standby first,... sleep first, wakeup that's a
later issue...)
6. I set in the BIOS WAKE-UP-REMOTELY to be ON.
That's all I've tried...
Still not able to go standby fully...
What's wrong?
I began my plug and unplug experiemnts.
And finally pinpointed out that when the LAN cable is connected,
it is always woken up after 2 seconds;
when the LAN cable is off,
it is OK with no problem.
So now the problem is the LAN adaptor card...
"Disconnecting" LAN is not a good choice because I rely on being able to do
Wake-UP-on-Lan
later on remotely...
Where does this mysterious wake-up signal come from?

- Windows XP >> constant shutdown/restartPosted this a few days ago. Got some good advice from Will Denny
(thanks!) but wasn't able to solve problem, so I'll try again.
Running xp. At start up, I will get a 'windows installer' window, that
is supplanted with a Norton window stating it 'doesn't
recognize-uninstall & reinstall.' After ~30 seconds, XP goes to restart
and this cycle continues as long as I continue to log in with password.
Went to safe mode, disabled automatic shut-down. Restarted again and
got blue screen with the following:
***STOP 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x855D56B3, 0xA8B07C7C, 0xA8B07978)

Anybody heard of similar problem(s)? Any ideas how I can fix this
problem? Not very savvy when it comes to these issues.......Thanks in
