smah, Thanks for the quick reply. You were right on... I had obviously lost my profile. Interestingly... I have never looked at that Mail icon in Control Panel before! This saved me a lot of time in terms of reconstructing all the rules I use... thanks. Yes... I am trying to get the...

When I opened up MS Outlook 2002 this morning there was nothing there!! After some panic... I found the file Outlook.pst and I imported it back into Outlook which retrieved all my messages, contacts,...etc. However, I did lose the setup for all my email accounts as well as the many rules...

Earlier today I installed Media Player 10 and since then I have been having problems with my computer momentarily freezing! My OS is WinXP Pro SP2. I like to play music files in the background while I work, but now every once in a while the computer sort of locks up so that I can't do anything...

Thanks for the quick and helpful responses... The internet file cache was the culprit... made for an easy fix.

This is a follow-up... I went out and bought a USB floppy drive (wonder why we still call them floppy drives!!) and a USB CDrom. The BIOS (ver 1.03) does allow for a boot from a floppy connected via USB. So I was able to boot up the computer this way. Once I was able to get in I got past the...

I am into photography and download from various sites pictures that I find interesting. Most sites have their pictures in jpg format, which is fine for me. I have noticed that at times whenever I try to save a picture file the Save as Type box only provides me with one option "Bitmap...

I just managed to really screw up a Compaq laptop (Evo N400c model) that was given to my wife by her company, when she left them. The laptop was part of their corporate domain and so I decided to change the setup so that I could incorporate it into our home network workgroup. However after doing...

As usual... thank you for the quick and helpful response. That fixed my problem.

I was having some problems with my network setup so I ran WinsockxpFix and it has caused a problem with Google Desktop Search! I have a WinXP Pro SP2 system and I am getting the following Google Desktop Search error message: Google Desktop Search has detected a problem with your network setup...

linney, I read the Microsoft article and tried to set up the Recovery Console. However, when I try to run the \i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons command from my CD it tells me that "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on my computer is newer than the version on the CD". I guess this...

Thanks for the explanation... I ran IEFix on the computer and still have the same problem with Windows Explorer. I do have one question on the program... was I supposed to click on the box "For Windows XP, click here to enable reinstallation of Internet Explorer"? I didn't do this and therefore...

I have downloaded the IEFIX file and I will run it a bit later this evening... however I am confused as to why I should run a utility that checks the integrity of Internet Explorer when my problem is with Windows Explorer! My internet explorer seems to work fine...

Thanks... I downloaded Giant Antispyware and tried it. It found one thing that I deleted. After all the files deletions I have gone through I believe that I now have rid the computer of the malware!!(CWShredder now works and AdAware gives me a clean report) However, I may have inadvertently...

Just a follow-up... When I realized what the error message was saying "Not resetting system file" I realized that I had to change the attrib command to attrib -S -H C:\windows\filename.dat. This worked and I was then able to delete all the files. Before I did this I copied the non-hidden dat...

Yes, System Restore has been turned off and I have tried in SAFE mode and tried to delete the files. I also tried by starting in Safe mode with Command Prompt (or whatever it's called!) and tried to change the file attribute of one of the particular files (attrib -H C:\windows\filename.dat)...

I need some help... I have a major trojan issue going on with one of the kids' computers. There are about 5,000 dat files created in the Windows and System32 directories. AdAware recognizes the files as adware (CoolWebsearch objects) but cannot immunize and delete the files. The program just...

I use my computer for my on-line banking and when I tried to logon this morning I got the following message: "Allow sub-frames to navigate across different domains?" I am definitely concerned when I get odd messages like this and particularly when I do on-line banking... any ideas on what...

If I understand your question correctly you are asking about the User name... which is set in Control Panel / User Accounts. The Start menu displays the name of the current user. Hope this helps

An update... I tried the repair installation and it didn't work!! So... I bit the bullet and did a completely new install! Oh well, at least now I am up and running well again. Unfortunately, I was not able to run any programs (because of the problem) and therefore unable to uninstall...

Success at last!!! I had already disabled Computer Browser (per BlackViper) but I had left the DNS Client on Auto. I changed that this time around. However, I also moved my daughter's computer into one of the other Workgroups and voila... she now has access to all the other workgroups and...
