    Pop-Up Menus

    Have created a header made up of several graphics in Fireworks MX and added pop up menus. When I edit the menu in FW and export it to DW MX it is not updating templates that include this graphic/pop-up menu. Must be doing something wrong or is a 3rd party pop-up menu builder a better option ??

    XP Fails to Load - ntoskrnl.exe missing?

    XP Fails to Load - ntoskrnl.exe missing?

    Thanks for the suggestion but the HDD is in NTFS Format and that particular file is just under 2MB. But that aside if the file is really missing why would the system boot at my place?

    Compaq not recognizing memory

    A lot of the new PC133 SDRAM is not recognised correctly by some motherboards although the newer ones are usually ok. Generally it shows up as only half what is actually installed. Sometimes of course it is just a faulty piece of RAM. Try another piece.

    The locking up occurs before windows has completed its installation .. you can actually use F8 and it will try and get into safe mode but hangs up before getting there. keyboard change has no effect Thanks for your replies

    PC not booting up

    Try restoring the registry back before the problem occurred if the date is still available.. you'll have to boot from a '98 start-up to do that

    Computer Restarts for No Reason at all

    Seems like hardware if it is random .. I would consider memory and power pack first suspects ... try substituting with known good hardware if you have it available Mike

    gargouille, That fix worked thanks - so somewhere along the line I must have used a cleaner. And Linney, there was no error message, the Help screens just wouldn't come up

    Thanks...I tried the repair option but that has'nt helped. Originally I was using 5.5 but upgraded to 6 to see if that would fix it. Unfortunately, the error occurs on both versions

    Exception Error in Me

    Trying to locate what might be causing a repetitive exception error that occurs only when online using MS Internet 5.5 or 6. No specific program seems to trigger the problem. error number is oe0028c002cefa called from 0028C183781 ... this same response occurs on each occasion

    Amd Duron 850mhz Question

    If the suggestions the others have made don't work look carefully at the CPU for any chipping - usually caused when fitting the heatsink. This damage causes serious overheating.
