    Animated mouse cursor

    Not the answer I was hoping for! I was hoping you would say that the others worked. I have never had this problem, nor heard of it before. Do you really need a moving cursor? All I can suggest is that you try a 3rd party cursor tool and use that to assign the cursor you want. If you solve this...

    How do I uninstall directX 9 on Windows XP?

    There is a program that does that and uses your original Windows XP cd to re-install DirectX 8 You can get the program from: http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/directx-dx9uninstaller.php (the site is in German, but the file is in english). Extract the files in the .zip file to C:\DXTEMP. You...

    backspace initiates standby mode

    I'm pretty sure that it is a software problem. Check your settings in Powertools and Hotkeys programs (I've never heard of either of them (do you mean Powertoys?)...lol) If you can't find any settings that you suspect cause this (annoying) problem, you can always do a System Restore (Start||All...

    how can a program icon be created at sys tray

    Do you mean a quicklaunch icon? If you do: Go to windows explorer and go to the folder where it is installed. RIGHTclick-and-drag it to the quicklaunch toolbar and release your mouse, and then click 'Create shortcut here'. -Arrian

    Animated mouse cursor

    So what you're saying is that your animated cursor stops moving when you reboot, and starts again when your computer is loaded up? -Arrian

    Transferring Files between PCs

    You can put the ME harddrive in the XP machine (setting it to 'slave' position --a jumper on the HD usually does this-- so it doesn't boot from it). This is probably the quickest way. Note: this changes your computer hardware, and XP counts all the times you change your hardware, and when it...

    Need to get CPU usage down from constant 100%

    You have 2 options. You can either disable it or fix it. 1.)Click start, then run, and type in msconfig. Go to the startup tab and see if DellMMKB is in there. If it is, just unselect it and press ok (you probably have to reboot). 2.) go to http://www.netropa.com/download/mmkbd/download.html...

    Need to get CPU usage down from constant 100%

    Click start, then run, and type in msconfig. Go to the startup tab and see if it is in there. If it is, just unselect it and press ok (you probably have to reboot). Do you have anything running such as Seti@home or anything else that takes your CPU's idle time and uses it? -Arrian

    How to reinstall / repair Windows XP?

    If you think you have a virus you should download a virus removal program (or buy one such as Notron Antivirus) and scan your system. If your system runs too slowly for you to even scan it, you can always do it in safe mode by hitting (by default) F8 right before it comes up with the splash...
