    vista wont start & keyboard not detected

    Not quite sure what you mean by unplug. What do I unplug from what? Does this mean just pulling some cables out. Thanks for your suggestions.

    vista wont start & keyboard not detected

    Just before this happened I loaded Vista Service Pack 2, but there may be no connection. I can't get into Safe Mode. If I attempt it loads a screen full of system files, gets as far as crcdisk.sys and then I get a "please wait.." message at the bottom of the screen which doesn't go away. The...

    vista wont start & keyboard not detected

    Haven't bought PS2 keybord yet. I got into the BIOS and looked at USB settings. There were 2. One for USB keyboard and one for USB mouse. The options for each were- 1)Operating System (OS) 2)BIOS I changed both to BIOS and saved. This has given me control of these peripherals after boot. That's...

    I'll try these things. It'll take a while as I'll have to buy a PS2 keyboard. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks for suggestions.

    vista wont start & keyboard not detected

    Actually I just noticed, the green lights on the USB hub go out when windows fails to start. My keyboard and mouse are connected to the hub. However, if I connect them directly to USB ports on the main PC it makes no difference. Same problem.

    vista wont start & keyboard not detected

    Appreciate your help. PC starts and I get the usual BIOS messages - black screen white text. At the point where Windows starts loading nothing happens. The screen remains black. I get no messages from Vista/Windows at all. After a few minutes I turn off. Next time I turn on I get message...

    vista wont start & keyboard not detected

    Thanks for your response. Yes it is a USB keyboard. Changing the USB port seemed to make no difference at all. Yes I could get into the BIOS to make CD-ROM first boot. I can try one other USB keyboard. Would it be better to use a standard PS2 keyboard? Any idea what's going on? I think I'd just...

    vista wont start & keyboard not detected

    Using Vista Home Premium which will no longer start. I cannot use the Recovery Disk although I've set the BIOS to boot from the CD-Drive first. I get the message "booting from cd-rom" but then it asks me to press any key to boot from cd-rom. Although I press a key (many keys in fact) it doesn't...

    I am trying to install Norton Internet Security 2007, but this won't install until I remove the old version. Problem is when I try to remove it with Change/Remove the product just greys out and no confirmation button appear. I have disabled the programmes and switched everything off in Services...

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer wont save files

    Thanks for the suggestion. The permissions on the source file and the destination file are the same. "Group or Users" contains Administrators Myname System and beneath this in the "Allow" column I have ticks in dark grey on a light grey background next to - Full Control Modify Read and Execute...

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer wont save files

    I am looking at .JPG files using WP&FV in WinXP Home with Service Pack 2. I can look at the files but I cannot save them, or do anything else with them. I get the following error message - "Failed to save to the specified location. Make sure the file is not write-protected and there is enough...

    Cannot delete temp files from ' CD Burning'

    Amazing. Thanks to you guys I got it. The CD Burning folder had no attrib.s set. It turned out to be InCD from Ahead which was interfering in some way. I removed any traces of InCD with the Tool you pointed out and next time I wrote files to my RW drive they were automatically deleted...

    Cannot delete temp files from ' CD Burning'

    Thanks for all your help with this bcastner and linney. It is much appreciated. I set the IMAP service to 'Automatic', didn't resolve the problem. The 2 KB links don't seem to have any specific references to the particular problem I am having. It's not that the CD Burning folder and the CD-RW...

    Cannot delete temp files from ' CD Burning'

    In Permissions I have 'Full Control' over the CD Burning folder, dark grey tick on light grey background, (as does Admin and System, Creator/Owner is not mentioned). I'm not ticking the box that tells the system to retain the files so that they can be written to another CD. If I remove the CD I...

    Cannot delete temp files from ' CD Burning'

    Thanks very much for your reply. I have to admit that the XP version I have is Home not Pro. When I ran 'Sfc /Scannow' confusingly Home asked me for 'my XP Pro CD' which obviously I haven't got. Anyway, I put in the Home CD and it seemed to check all the files and reported no errors. In fact it...

    Cannot delete temp files from ' CD Burning'

    When I burn a CD (using the built-in utility) the temp files which are stored in - Documents and Settings\<username> \Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning do not go away. They stay there, in case I want to burn another set I guess. However when I try to delete them I am always...
