I listen to very large MP3 audio files and although most players show a sliding progress bar I'd really like a numerical figure or, better still, a bookmark facility so when I wish to resume the playback at a later time I can simply kick off from the last point. I can split these files ( with...

Thanks... I really need to know which Id has been used in setting up as I'd prefer a straight internet auto activation.. I came across Jelybean after I wrote this request and it shows the exact key used, the problem was, another "key reader" I'd had gives a completely incorrect return.. weird...

Have a few Compaq Evos each with original XP Pro licences attached.. I've installed 2 of them and mixed up the lids.. I havent activated either yet.. Rather than nuke 'em and start again..is there a legimate & easy way to change the Key prior to activating over the 'net?? Thanks "We do not...

Thanks for that!! Worked fine.. I'll go out and check the job I mentioned and hopefully it will be the answer.. Well done... "We do not stop playing because we are old, more likely we grow old because we stop playing...

On a Workgroup network of 5 PCs, all running XP Pro, Each of the PCs can have full sharing access with each other, as specified, except for one which refuses access to all others. It was OK until a ISP tech got into it to try and sort out a dialup problem ( since then it is all Broadband) and...

Thanks fellas...have come across that "hosts" caper before... didnt make the connection... I think last time it was putting a url screen up on the desktop and I had to go into display and remove it in one of the apps in there.. "We do not stop playing because we are old, more likely we grow...

A Win98SE system... although will call up favourites Ok it will not search in Google or Yahoo... It will not go to other pages within a website.. Would it be just reading from Cache or is there maybe some virus/malware that could be causing it... Happened since memory was upgraded...

I've run the slipstreamed disc but it seems to be the same as a the OEM XP PRO SP2 original disk that I already have.. If I select the recovery console then I just get stuck at the Admin password.. I can't understand how this disc is going to allow me to do that file copy step you first...

Well, I've done all that.. sort of... but am stuck from lack of knowledge.. In a nutshell, what IS slipstreaming?? Others all seem to know but I haven't heard of it before today.. Maybe I'll know when I run it.. Fortunately the owners PC is running Pro & I had done SP2 on it last visit..so I'm...

Thanks..Am off to do that now.. sorry about not seeing it.. too little time.. ( weak excuse.. but..) And I've since realised why I cant use the dos prompt.. the WSAUPDATER.EXE has 10 chars in the filename.. Anyway.. "We do not stop playing because we are old, more likely we grow old because...

Thanks.. it certainly seems like Malware... Bcaster.. I cant use the Recovery console as I dont know the Admin password... I think I originally installed this after a previous mishap, its XP Pro.. but I never get asked for an Admin password that I can recall.. Maybe, as this drive is running...

This system only has one user ( in normal mode) and now, when it gets to the Welcome screen it shows the Useer's Logon icon but then , when clicked, starts for a few seconds then says "Saving settings" then drops back to the same User logon screen.. Does it in Safe mode for both the User and...

Thanks to you all... Long Holiday Weekend down here... will check it out on Tuesday... and yes, it is that bluey coloured mid-tower with the top door.. I think that mention of cold boot IS critical... I dont think I really did that.. also the disconnect HD sounds another good idea.. I'll try it...

I need to install Win2000 on this machine but it wont start installing from the CD.. I've tried various F keys and key combos but I cant get into it.. It had ME on it and would boot to the HDD or a floppy.. I guess it needs the CD as first device..hence my problem.. Any clues?? "We do not stop...

Thanks for that.... I run Ca Vet (Innoculate) on my own PC and after I found all these files in the root directory of TWO PCs ( 1 XP Home, other Win2000 )just in for service I copied them onto a usb pen drive with the intention of "zipping" them to forward onto the Virus package tech...
