One of my friends computer won't run Dreamweaver 4, yet most other systems I try it on it works fine. When they try to load it it just exits straight away without loading anything. It even does it after a reload of Windows. They are using WinME if that's significant. Any ideas anyone??

I managed to sort the problem out a few months back. What it turned out being was that the router was not keeping it's setings.

I was using my 2nd HDD which is a Maxtor 15Gb temporarily as my primary drive as to test Windows XP on. Before installing I physically removed my main drive and installed XP on the 15gig. Afterwards I found it was still unstable and so formatted it in dos and loaded Win2K on it. That crashed...

Hmmm, just tried using Win2k on my 2nd HDD to see if that solves my problem and it does it in 2K as well, in fact it crashed before setup had even finished. So now I've switched back to my 1st HDD as being the boot drive, formatted the 2nd HDD and started to transfer my data back onto it and...

I've tried installing the latest service pack for Office XP, but whenever I run it I get the following error message and have to cancel the install: " Error 1328: Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\PT96.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means, and can no longer be modified...

Have you tried Win2K to see if it happens it that as well?

I know how to solve this. XP when connecting to a shared folder decides to check for scheduled tasks on the remote machine, which consumes time. So to solve this make this simple adjustment to the registry: Find...

I tried this ages ago, as I always keep my system uptodate with all the latest drivers and patches.

There's a TweakUI XP style proggie over at www.vtoy.fi/jv16/programs/jv16pt_setup.exe called jv16 PowerTools. It's by the people who made RegCleaner.

I know the answer to this, it's the same with all mobilities. It's the driver which allows the monitor switching through the VGA port on the back. It's done from the Display Settings Window.

Heheheheheh ;) Tried that before, it sure did slow my system down. I've even tried reserving IRQ11 for ACPI only so the devices are reassigned but that slows my system down as well. :( Thanks for the suggestion anyway :)

Hi, Anybody have any idea how to do basic graphics in C which involves color changes and lines? Possibly even changes of resolutions. In other words similar commands to those in QBASIC.

Compaq won't be providing teh driver for the ATi Mobility, that is the job of ATi. The one included in Windows XP is a very basic driver, which is the reason for poor graphics performance under XP. Since XP's release ATi have said they'll release XP editions of their drivers. I'm not sure if...

It is accessible by right-clicking "My Computer" and then on properties. Click on the Advance TAB, and you can turn off auto-rebooting from there. Someting else I've noticed is that since I stopped getting ACPI errors due to the so called "ABit 68 patch that will remove ACPI...

I know my problem is not heat related as my cpu temp is around 43 degree celcius, and my GeForce doesn't really get that hot due to the exhaust fan underneath it. I have recently converted to NTFS due to better file recovery features, but still get the same problem :( At the weekend when...
