    IE 6 on XP will not launch external apps

    OK. 1. Make sure the external application is allowed to run within the security settings of IE. Programs like Adobe PDF viewer use third party plug-ins when launched from within a browser. Your security settings for the browser are probably not allowing these plug-ins to run. Resolution: Tools...

    Cannot open PDF file in IE6

    You have to enable third party browser extensions in your security settings. A better idea would be to add the site offering the pdf to your Trusted Internet Sites Zone. Life is a journey to death

    Can't save pictures as .jpg , only opt is .bmp

    The issue you describe, more often than not, results from the particular image not being downloaded completely. Sometimes simply refreshing the page (F5) will re-initiate the download of the image, allowing you to save the image (right-click - Save As). When an image download is discontinued...

    Windows XP died on me

    I had the same issue with a friend of mine. To preserve his information (mail, favorites, mp3's etc...) I removed his HD and put it into my PC as a slave drive. After booting my system (with an installed cd burner), I burned all his data onto a cd. Once complete I removed his HD from my PC...

    Wireless router problem

    I find, more often than not, that most users forget that surfing the internet by domain name requires the use of a valid domain name server to resolve internet names to IP addresses. Make sure your router has the correct DNS entry. If not, then you cannot surf the internet by domain name. You...

    do you want to install and run....NO!

    In response to the need to prevent pop-ups. I dislike having to install third party utilities that perform functions that could otherwise be done with just an understanding of browsing policy. I hate pop-ups! Most, if not all, legitimate sites don't use them. To prevent pop-ups, disable all...

    XP does not see HDD when loading

    I have seen this occurr when an XP image has been added to another partition. The operating system, although booting OK cannot find its operating environment. It seems to me that you may have an original boot partition but your OS is stored elsewhere. I have resolved this problem in the past by...

    How to uninstall a service?

    All services registered in XP are located in this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services You can modify the settings directly through this interface. Services can be removed by deleting the appropriate key. NOTE: Do not delete an entry within this key if you are not...

    Cannot open url in new window

    Links that open in seperate browsers use javascript or vbscript code. If you have tightened your security enough, these API's will not work.

    Cannot delete files

    One important consideration here is that the files DO exist when XP is run in "normal mode" but DO NOT exist when XP is run in "Safe Mode". It appears you may have services running on start up. Navigate to registry keys...

    checkdisk keeps runnig..?

    Just let the system check the disc for errors. The disk checking mechanism is being initiated by an entry in the File allocation table that instructs the OS to check the drive for errors. Once disk checking has been completed the flag is removed, and the disk will not be checked the next time...

    unable to delete items from add/remove programs list

    This is a common problem when the programs are deleted manually through explorer.exe rather than by using the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in control panel. DO NOT re-install (I know too late for this advice) the programs. This causes more headaches down the line. If you are familiar...

    Windows Explorer Terminates when MP3s are in Dir

    There is an issue with explorer.exe reading the header contents of multimedia files. When you open a directory containing these types of files, the header information is read and displayed in the explorer status bar area (lower left of window). You may have a malicious MP3 file with compromised...

    Is it possible to have scrolling on in the dos box????

    Yes. That is the point. In the properties of the shortcut to c:\windows\command.com, the "screen" tab contains an option to modify the number of lines buffered for that command session. You must remember that you are using Windows98, which only creates a virtual DOS environment. You...

    Windows 2k install on a RAID 0 array

    I have had great success installing Win2000 on my Abit KT7A RAID MB and AMD 1.2GHz. The RAID chipset is a HighPoint HPT370 which allows for RAID levels 0,1 and 0+1 as well as JBOD's. The first thing you must do is create the stripe set. I striped two 10GB Quantum Fireball AS drives in the RAID...
