smah, Thanks for the quick reply. You were right on... I had obviously lost my profile. Interestingly... I have never looked at that Mail icon in Control Panel before! This saved me a lot of time in terms of reconstructing all the rules I use... thanks. Yes... I am trying to get the...

When I opened up MS Outlook 2002 this morning there was nothing there!! After some panic... I found the file Outlook.pst and I imported it back into Outlook which retrieved all my messages, contacts,...etc. However, I did lose the setup for all my email accounts as well as the many rules...

Earlier today I installed Media Player 10 and since then I have been having problems with my computer momentarily freezing! My OS is WinXP Pro SP2. I like to play music files in the background while I work, but now every once in a while the computer sort of locks up so that I can't do anything...

Thanks for the quick and helpful responses... The internet file cache was the culprit... made for an easy fix.

This is a follow-up... I went out and bought a USB floppy drive (wonder why we still call them floppy drives!!) and a USB CDrom. The BIOS (ver 1.03) does allow for a boot from a floppy connected via USB. So I was able to boot up the computer this way. Once I was able to get in I got past the...

I am into photography and download from various sites pictures that I find interesting. Most sites have their pictures in jpg format, which is fine for me. I have noticed that at times whenever I try to save a picture file the Save as Type box only provides me with one option "Bitmap...

I just managed to really screw up a Compaq laptop (Evo N400c model) that was given to my wife by her company, when she left them. The laptop was part of their corporate domain and so I decided to change the setup so that I could incorporate it into our home network workgroup. However after doing...

As usual... thank you for the quick and helpful response. That fixed my problem.

I was having some problems with my network setup so I ran WinsockxpFix and it has caused a problem with Google Desktop Search! I have a WinXP Pro SP2 system and I am getting the following Google Desktop Search error message: Google Desktop Search has detected a problem with your network setup...

linney, I read the Microsoft article and tried to set up the Recovery Console. However, when I try to run the \i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons command from my CD it tells me that "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on my computer is newer than the version on the CD". I guess this...

Thanks for the explanation... I ran IEFix on the computer and still have the same problem with Windows Explorer. I do have one question on the program... was I supposed to click on the box "For Windows XP, click here to enable reinstallation of Internet Explorer"? I didn't do this and therefore...

I have downloaded the IEFIX file and I will run it a bit later this evening... however I am confused as to why I should run a utility that checks the integrity of Internet Explorer when my problem is with Windows Explorer! My internet explorer seems to work fine...

Thanks... I downloaded Giant Antispyware and tried it. It found one thing that I deleted. After all the files deletions I have gone through I believe that I now have rid the computer of the malware!!(CWShredder now works and AdAware gives me a clean report) However, I may have inadvertently...

Just a follow-up... When I realized what the error message was saying "Not resetting system file" I realized that I had to change the attrib command to attrib -S -H C:\windows\filename.dat. This worked and I was then able to delete all the files. Before I did this I copied the non-hidden dat...

Yes, System Restore has been turned off and I have tried in SAFE mode and tried to delete the files. I also tried by starting in Safe mode with Command Prompt (or whatever it's called!) and tried to change the file attribute of one of the particular files (attrib -H C:\windows\filename.dat)...
