    Blinking curser. Win XP won't start

    I've already tried CHKDSK /R. It went thru & reported no problems found. I did this by booting from the original XP CD and following Recover Console. After that I made a boot diskette on another XP Pro PC which allowed me to boot the Deskpro. I then ran BCUPDATE2. WIthout the boot diskette I...

    Blinking curser. Win XP won't start

    I've since run Disk Defrag and also chkdsk but still can't boot from my hard drive. No problem using a WIndows XP Boot disk. This a Compaq Deskpro and I'm wondering if my BIOS may be the problem. Help please.

    Blinking curser. Win XP won't start

    When I power up I get a blinking curser instead of my Win XP Logo screen. I created an XP Boot diskette from another XP Pro PC and was able to bring up my XP. I then downloaded and ran BCUPDATE2. I still get the blinking curser unless I use the Boot diskette. Please advise how I can correct...

    CD/DVD Combo is now just a DVD

    No, it's not a modular drive. I have to remove the keyboard to get at it.

    CD/DVD Combo is now just a DVD

    My Acer Notebook came with a combo CD/DVD RW. Recently I noticed I couldn't read CD disks at all, but no problem reading DVD disks. Device Manager reports only a DVD Drive. I tried uninstalling & rebooting the Notebook but it came right back as a DVD drive. Is it possible that only the DVD...

    Acer Notebook - DVD ROM works, CD-ROM does not

    No, the drive isn't removable/modular. I did try compressed air but will try the lens cleaner next. What do think about removing the drive in Device Manager & seeing if it resolves itself on a re-boot?

    Acer Notebook - DVD ROM works, CD-ROM does not

    I have an Acer Travelmate 4011 Notebook with a combo CD/DVD RW Drive. Up until recently I could read & burn CD's with no problem. I thought it peculiar that if the drive was fried, I could still see it in Win XP Device Manager & it is reported as working properly. I put a DVD Disk in and it...

    Can't boot WIndows XP Pro

    Thanks for all the tips. Here's my dilemma: This is a Compaq Notebook, with no floppy drive. When I boot from the XP CD & try to run Recovery, it leaves me at a C:> & I can't display DIR. I tried CHKDSK /R & get a message back telling me the disk is damaged. I did download a product called...

    Can't boot WIndows XP Pro

    I'm getting the message "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM" I've tried running Recovery Console and as soon as I press "r", I get a C>. At that point I can't even do a DIR. Can I install XP over top of itself to at least...

    I have a Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM & 40GB Hard Srive. It was shipped from Dell with ME on it 3 years ago & has performed well.

    Problem Exporting Outlook Messages

    Easier said than done. How do I find the location of my PST files. I've changed folder oprtions to view "Hidden" files & searched using Windows Explorer. Nowhere can I see anything called Inbox or Outbox.

    Problem Exporting Outlook Messages

    I exported my Outlook 2003 messages from my old PC to a CSV file, copied to my new PC & imported into Outlook 2003. The problem is Date Received has changed to today's date. Is there a way I can transfer messages & retain the original Date Received?

    Upgrading to ERP 5.4 from 5.3

    In 5.3, no. I had separate folders. But after DBDUMPING in 5.3, I created new databases with Pervasive, not realizing that is where I should specify the folders. Then after doing ACCPAC Database Setup, the System & COmpany Data wound up in the same (default) folder. After DBLOADING in 5.4...

    Upgrading to ERP 5.4 from 5.3

    Solved. Thank you so much. When you mentioned Pervasive using the same DSN model as MSSQL I realized what was going on. Previously we assigned our data folders in ACCPAC's Database Setup. Thanks again for putting me on the right track.
