Thanks for the idea Tat. It seems to have been related to the antivirus software. Disabling was not enough, had to uninstall.

I have a user on our domain that has messages with attachments forwarded to her many times a day. Since I provided her with a new PC running Windows 7 Pro and Outlook 2003, forwarded messages often have the message body stripped. The attachment comes but without any text from the sender. To make...

Thanks bcastner. While I did not find a specific solution I did discover that the problem is being caused by the mouse that I'm using. Just unplugging the mouse fixed the problem. The links you posted made the difference.

Have a brand new compaq 2175US laptop running Xp Pro. All attempts to restart fail. Shutting down and powering back up works fine. Selecting restart or restarts caused by updating or loading software fail to restart. The computer shuts down, the power light goes off and comes back on as if it...

I found the solution. I found a program on my PC called Ahead CD. I don't know what it is but after uninstalling and rebooting everything is cool. Thanks to everyone who answered.

If I change a disc I have the same...

Rebooting with the CD in the drive causes the CD to be recognized, however changing the CD requires another reboot. This is true with audio CD's, and data CD's. I have Roxio and...

Thank you smah, it will give it a go.

Yes, Bridget.

smah It's been awhile and I do not remember. That is a definite possibility. Assuming that is the case can you suggest a course of action?

smah I am logging on with my account

smah I went back and tried your suggestion. The advanced button reports that it only works with Pro not Home. However I unchecked the box requiring a password. The default logon is now administrator not Bridget. Although Bridget does not appear in control panel-user accounts, it does appear in...

Wow. Linney I tried your suggestion and deleted the account "Bridget". Upon reboot I got a system error and a memory dump. Another reboot produced a file check, no errors found and another memory dump. After a couple more tries I booted up in safe mode. Unbelieveably...
