    USB Problem with XP Home

    Hi All, Well, after a year of use, I finally have a problem with XPHome. Before really digging into it, I thought I'd check here. When I attach a USB device (usually my digital camera), the system doesn't "see" it. If I re-boot and plug the camera in, sometimes it's recognized and sometimes...

    How do you get rid of XP Tour?

    Ahhhh... OK, I started with a PC that only had the admin account set-up. I installed bcastner's version# 3. Added the 10 other users. No Tour balloon or icon in the tray for any of the users. I did the same thing to the next PC with good results. Thanks to All, with a special THANKS (and...

    How do you get rid of XP Tour?

    I almost hate to keep posting, "whining" is NOT my intention! I just tried bcastner's revision #3. Still No Go. I even went so far as to have someone else "proof" the work I've done so far. zoey, I'm working with an entire lab of PC's, I'd like to find a way to install one script or program...

    How do you get rid of XP Tour?

    marcs41 says "During the time this tread is going on, several Tours would already been started, closed and be gone by now". Ha I wish it was that simple. I have 10 PC's each with 9 users (currently) more to add soon. I agree it would have been easier to just sit there and sign-on as each user...

    How do you get rid of XP Tour?

    bcasnter... Thanks for offering the assistance. I had a feeling that Notepad would re-format the text. I tried to run it "as-is", got a Script error. I edited the text and the script ran fine, well almost... We still get the "Take A Tour yada yada yada. This is now becoming a me against them...

    How do you get rid of XP Tour?

    It doesn't work. I tried it on 3 different PC's and it continues to "pop-up". I'm setting-up 10 pc's, with 9 users each. No way I'm going to wait for the 3 log-ons - each rofl. Regards, drk

    Removing XP Security

    Thanks for looking, How can I "remove" the security program that came along with SP2 that's in the tray? I have an AV (AVG) program and both software (ZA) and hardware (NAT32) firewalls and I'm tired of the balloon and pop-up telling me I don't. I just want to get rid of this. I realize the...

    Thoughts on SP 2

    FWIW, Make sure you turn-off any and all non-MS anti-virus, ad & pop-up stoppers, spyware programs etc. Some of us with XP did a test. Some did the SP2 install without de-activating those programs and some de-activated. Those that did de-activate first, appear to have less problems. Also...

    FrontPage XP (2002)

    Boy, lots of posts to "clear-up". I didn't realize that you had to "upload" the pages using FP, I was just ftp'ing them to the server. Works now. drk

    Audio Problems

    Well, just to "complete" the process, I finally found the problem (after looking on and off for 8 months). One of the lines in the registry was corrupted, it had mca instead of mci.

    XP Pro Client can ping to ip's, but no DNS

    What your explaining is exactly the same thing I had when I moved a family member from dial-up to broadband. The cable company's installation CD was trying to connect to their DNS server and it couldn't. I could get to IP addys, but not domains. To make a very long tedious story short, the...

    August 2003 Cumulative Upgrade Problems?

    Hi, I've had this same problem since I started using WinXP (Home). 90% of the time, if IE 6.0.2 opens a 2nd window, everything freezes. One difference, I can still use Task Manager and "End Task" the "Not Responding" app. Of course this is new to me and I don't understand...

    Audio Problems

    I upgraded to a new MB and CPU. After that, I upgraded to WinXP. The new MB had AC-97 "C-Media" sound onboard and I installed the correct drivers for it. I haven't been able to listen to CD's via the PC, works OK in the headphones. Windows Media Player gives an error message about...

    FrontPage XP (2002)

    I built a web page, which is nothing more then a "form". Due to the fact that my ISP's host server only supports FP98 & 2000, when the "Submit" button is clicked, you get the "Front Page Run Time Component Error" message. Does anyone know of a work-around or a way...

    Greetings All, I have an audio CD with a track (Track 2.CDA) which I would like to convert to a .wav file. The CD was made by a friend who's a musician. The CD plays fine in my car and any "CD Player". It WILL NOT play on my PC. I've tried "Windows Media Player, MP3Pro, an old...

    No IDE Detect on FIC V503+

    Hi, After I replaced old SIMM memory with 128mb DIMM, it no longer detects any of the IDE devices. I removed the 168pin DIMM memory, re-installed the original SIMM and still no joy. I've checked all the BIOS settings, the IDE cables, the HD and the CD-ROM, they're OK. I doubt it makes any...
