Thank you all for your help and suggestions. As I am right in the middle of a big project I haven't had time to try anything yet, but I will work through everything above and post the result. Luckily for me the data on the disc is mostly a mirror of my main desktop system, so recovery is not...

I have an MSI wind laptop running Win XP. It recently started running chkdsk every time I turned it, kept repeating it so I had to hit enter to get it to boot.(which it did). Now it goes straight to the "Windows didn't start properly" screes and whether I select "start in safe mode" or "start...

Thanks smash. I tried to reset the nickname cache but searching Vista for *.NK2 gets zero results and I have got the show hidden files & folders option selected. I haven't tried /cleanviews as I am a bit concerned how much of my personalized setup will be deleted!

I have built a new pc and installed Vista Busness. I then migrated all the programs I could from my old Windows XP Pro machine. All went reasonably well, however I do have some issues with Outlook. Firstly, whilst the Unread Mail folder shows unread mail, it does not remove it once you have...

I am not aware of having updated anything on my system, however I have suddenly got a Zone Alarm security alert saying that "wincnsl.exe is trying to access the trusted zone. I have searched both Google and this site and can find no reference to it! Does anybody know what it is, what it does...

Thanks for the prompt reply! I just downloaded a disk check program from Maxtor and it said "Your HD is failing, replace immediately"!! :-( Oh well, anybody recommend a good disk cloning program that does not have 'Norton' in the title? Cheers.

My computer (Win XP Pro SP2, NTFS partitions) has frozen on a couple of occasions recently. I went to run chkdsk via Windows Explorer>properties>tools and get the message "Windows is unable to complete the disk check" I select the option to automatically fix the file system and schedule it to...

Just to let you know the problem now seems to br fixed. I was running a 3-D screensaver, (a genuine Windows XP one at that!) and after disabling this I have had no more problems. Thanks for that bcastner. And thanks to cdogg for educating me about the two clocks, I never knew that!! Oh by the...

Many thanks for the prompt reply. I don't use standby or hybernate, but I'll read the links this evening and report back! Cheers.

The clock on my computer has started randomly loosing time! I could understand it if it did this when the system was turned off, if the battery on the motherboard was weak, however it will loose time during the day as well when the system is powered up. Some days it stays accurate, others it...

Right first time Glenn9999! I honestly don't know if my copy is genuine, byt a friend who does have a proper version installed the WGAN thingy and it told him it wasn't. He then spent hours trying to sort it out with Microsoft. I just don't need that hassel. I'm happy as I am and s*d...

I have had Automatic Update set on my Windows XP Pro machine, with the option to manually select and install the updates I want. It is now offering me one I do not want to install, but even if I un-tick the box next to it it still ofers it to me via the shield in the system tray. How can I get...

I still have this problem. Can anybody help please??

Oh dear, what have I done? I did some computer housekeeping, including a registry clean up and now Excel is playing up! If I try to launch it from the desktop icon I first get a box saying "Please wait while Windows Installer configures Office professional edition 2003" Followed by a box saying...

I run office 2003 professional on a Windows XP machine. I use Outlook 2003 as my email program and have some seven different addresses (accounts) set up in one profile. I have discovered that in many cases, when I send an email from one account, it displays the incorrect sending address...

Thanks, but I am doing just that! When I have written the message I select the "accounts" button next to "send" on the tool bar and select the account I want to send from. I then get the message at the top of the email saying this message will be sent via such and such an account. However when...
