Does anyone have a suggestion?

If I right click on a picture in Internet Explorer and click on Email Picture the picture is not automatically added as an attachment in outlook 2003. It used to work, but now all it does it copy to a temp location and never comes up in Outlook 2003 Things I looked at: 1. Checked some IE...

I have question about the OEM version of XP. First of all, I would like to acknowledge the fact that everyone has a different opinion on the legality of certain techniques used to move the OEM version of XP to a new machine or an updated version of the same machine. Whether or not it truly...

I hopes Microsoft creates some kind of security rollup patch that includes all the post SP1 fixes. Even with a slipstream copy of XP SP1 I think you get over 20 critical updates.

Hey Conceptumator, I have seen other people complaining about the same thing. I am not sure how I am able to keep reactivating. They have never said a single word to me about my OEM versions. I have totally rebuilt my system including all new hardware. I even moved over my XP Home OEM and...

You may want to read this entire article. NTFS Preinstallation and Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/storage/ntfs-preinstall.asp I think I might stick with one partition. Thanks for all the advice, Wade

I have a small home network with one XP Pro machine, and two ME machines connected through a Linksys 4-port router. I will check out some of your suggestions. Thanks for the help. Wade

Thanks for the info.

Jim, Under Documents and Settings I see 8 folders. 1. Administrator 2. Alan (My account) 3. All Users 4. Default User 5. LocalService 6. LocalService.NT AUTHORITY 7. NetworkService 8. NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY I know I have to keep 1-3. What are the rest used for and can I delete them...

I had to do a parallel install of XP on the same partition to analyze a possible network problem. After I was done I deleted the Windows1 folder (where I installed the second install of XP) then edited the boot.ini file. Everything seems fine except for logging in. The boot up sequence is...
