    Drive Image 2002 - spanning image files too fit DVD Disks

    Hi there, Quote from Symantec's website: Is there a limitation on how large image files can be? Drive Image 2002 is limited to creating 2 GB image files. If the image file will be larger than 2 GB, Drive Image automatically segments the image file into multiple files smaller than 2 GB. You...

    LAPTOP RESTARTING

    Well sounds like the battery or power circuit for the battery is up the duff. If its under warranty take it back to Dixons et al and politely ask them to sort it out. If it isn't then your going to have to find a friendly battery supplier who may take a return if it turns out not to be the...

    NEW computer freezes at random times..

    Hi Jamie, I don't think it would be worth you getting PCCheck yourself as prices start at £149 + P&P and tax and go upwards. The company that make PCCheck is Eurosoft (www.eurosoft-uk.com you could always try contacting them to see if they can tell you of anyone near you that has their...

    Cannot "Copy to" user profile

    Are you actually using/in the profile you want to copy when you are trying to copy it? (Hope that made sense.) If so then you will not be able to copy it. Effectively you need three user accounts the one you want to copy, the one you want to copy it to and finally the one you need to be in to...

    slower windows startup

    You have a whole host of things running on your system and it would be worth rationalising them. It appears from your post that you are runnig both a software and hardware based firewall, you'd be better off ditching the software one and stick with the one in the router. This is assuming...

    NEW computer freezes at random times..

    Hi Jamie, Could you give some more details about the system? For instance hardware specs. manufacturer etc. Is the machine locking up while in particular packages or is locking up while doing nothing at all? Do you get a blue screen of death, or is it a frozen desktop? If you feel it is a...

    Dell Dimension XPS R450

    Hi, If they have a problem with power, beit surges; brownouts these could easily affect the operating system. Do you have a workshop your customer can visit? If so try to get them in to see their system running smoothly and get them to 'play' with for an hour or so. If it then goes wrong...

    Hi Gracie, I've used quiet a few Intel chipset modems both on XP and 98 systems with no problems that spring to mind. If the driver is giving you problems it may be a idea to try the generic drivers on the Intel website...

    Outlook 2003 VirusScan On-Access Alert

    It is possible that you have a 'Back Orifice' virus/spyware on your system, from what I could make out from posting in various places on the net. I would suggest running a full sweep of your system, preferably after reading this article copied on my website: http://www.indie-it.com/nod32.html...

    Outlook Express attachments problem

    Outlook Express didn't originally download the image with the email; but rather let you 'view' them from their stored location. Meaning if you embedded an image stored in an accessible location; i.e. somewhere on the web then you could see them. If it was store say on your hard drive that...

    .PST access error

    You cannot restore a .pst file if it is in a readonly state; i.e. when stored on a CD-R. You'll need to copy it to your hard drive first, change the file properties (unless your using XP then it does it for your) and then restore from it.

    Automatic document creation

    Open Office will happily handle mail merging and macros. So first I would enter the information you require to be merged in to the format of your choice. There are several options all covered in the help section under 'Mail Merge'. Then create the templates to merge the data in to. Finally...

    Dell Dimension XPS R450

    At the customer's place do you add any hardware/peripherals to the system? It may be a pain but take your own keyboard, mouse, power cables and monitor and set them up there, if the PC works then it has got to be something at their end. If you've got a UPS then take that along and see if that...

    New Configuration: 2 HDrives & 1 CD plus 1 DVD

    Hi, There shouldn't be a problem with your proposed setup, however most people would recommed that you don't have the ROM drives together for the purpose of copying disk to disk. Set one of the ROM drives with the 160Gb HDD. The easiest thing to do is to set all of the drives to cable select...

    LPT2 not in Add Printer Wizard

    Hi, I seem to recall I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. From memory LTP2 didn't appear on installing the printer but I could change the printer to it as it appeared in 'Ports' section of the printers properties page.

    Outlook XP Locking Up

    Hi, First thing to try would be to run a repair over the installation, you'll need the original CD. Go into add/remove programs and select Office go to remove and you should be asked if you want to modify/repair/remove Office. Select a repair and follow the prompts. After that check to see...

    Hi Paul, I'm in Kent too small world, usually you could go to my website at: www.indie-it.com But for some reason it appears to be off-line(!), instead if you send it to gavin@ and insert the above web address less the www. it should get to me. Regards

    Windows update hangs

    Hi Paul, Glad to know that you're having some success. Where abouts are you based, I'm in the UK and if you are I could always post you of a full version on IE? As for why SFC keeps finding different files it could just be the joys of Windows.....
