cavie, I will review those too and will provide feedback as soon as I can. Thanks

Sorry but the name of the thread does not fit to the content of the post. It should be called something like "Re-activating XP" or "How to use XP in another computer" or whatever. But the "registry" is not the same as registering XP.

My feedback: I have been reviewing some of the programs in the link that bcastner provided me with. I tried a couple of them, "Cool Desk" and "DesktopPlus" the latest is by far better, but these programs bring more problems that what they solve. Sorry if I sound unfair, but...

Thanks bcastner for the advice, I think that once I tried Stardock Virtual Desktop Manager and could not get it do what I need but I will review the other alternatives. I will get back to you ASAP with feedback. MSP430F149

I have too many Icons placed on my Desktop. Too many to fit into it. If I try to use more than 1 Virtual Desktop the same icons are copied into every one. What I need to know is if there is a way I can place DIFFERENT icons into every one of the 4 Virtual Desktops. So far I have managed the...

Thanks bcastner... I solved the problem after your last message and using the thread that you recommended. I must admit that APUK provided the tool. Here is what I did. Opened System Volume Information Properties > Security Tab > Advance > Permissions Tab > And ticked "Inherit from...

Back again, When I try to start the Service I get a message that says something like "Your System Restore started and then stopped. Some services stop if they have nothing to do like Logs and Alerts" This is only after tweaking the register that I mentioned in my first message. If I...

Thanks for you answer bcastner. I have problems starting the service. It is set to Automatic but does not start. I will check the reasons and get back to you with feedback. Thanks

I installed the new Nero 6 and ran the included program Nero BackItUp. I cancelled the process before finishing the backup of one of the folders becuase it was taking to long to complete. After rebooting XP System Restore was gone from the "My Computer" Property's tab. I ran Regedit...

For the records. Seems that THOMASNG was right or something was wrong with my Learning Version. I got the VB 6.0 Enterprise version and everything was solved. Thanks to all for your great help.

Hello jepadams, Well you gave me hopes. I will check what is in the 32-b Module, but 99% sure the ocx is not there. I will check the OS updates too. Once thing I will do is to clean the darn hard disk. I will format it and then install Windows 98 again, I will download all the updates from the...

Hello all, I tried downloading and installing MS COMM 6.0 as Johnwm suggested but I had the same results. I am able to load the control in the Toolbar, that is clear, but if I want to insert it in the form, then I get this message about the lack of license or that I must re-install the...

Hello, I am new to Visual Basic, but I must write an application that reads the Serial Ports for testing devices. I am trying to use Mscomm32.ocx but it is giving me a hard time. I am running a Learning Version of VB 6.0, and everytime I try to load the component (MS COMM 5.0) in the ToolsBar I...
