I removed an old version of tax software in order to install new year's version. But, after the software unzipped and prepared to install, a Windows Installer box pops up with the message: "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel" Is it an error of...

I plan to replace the current master drive witch the slave drive (bigger, newer), and reinstall OS (Win XP Pro_SP2). Will there be any problems with the current name of partitions? On the current master there are 4 partitions: C,D,E,F, and on the current slave: I,J,K,L. I plan to reformat one...

Actually this problem happens only when I try to reply a Hotmail message in Opera (v 8.02, OS WinXP). The reply text box is just a rectangle, big enough for <20 characters and 2 lines with the scroll arrows on the right edge. It just happened recently, I guess I might have accidentally hit...

My PC cannot boot from WinXP. After reading the drive halfway it stops. If I leave it for a while it would come up with a blue screen and a warning that error from harddrive is detected, PC will shut down to prevent damage. And this line: ***stop: 0x0000007B (0000......) I used NTFS DOS Pro...

Recently, I've noticed that each time I restart the PC, the 'Windows XP-SP1' system restore point, created just before the restart, disappears ! That means there never any restore points exist in the system, unless you create one. I guess, perhaps, problems started after I installed the XP...

This is more or less a question of cosmetic in WinXP: Over time, the msconfig startup box is cluttered with many unchecked/disabled startup items. It seems that they stay in there forever. Is there anyway that we can clean up those unused boxes?

I use Word 2002. Just recently when I try open a file I receive this message: &quot;The file xxxx is not available.&quot; Even with a file I've just created and saved, same thing happens. If I try to close Word, another message appears: &quot;Changes have been made that affect the global...

I know the subect is so familiar in this forum but please bear me out. I took out the harddrive (4OGB Maxtor) from the old machine to temporarily install in the new PC so I could copy files to the new HD. Now I put it back in the old PC, but when I boot the BIOS does not recognize the HD. Bios...

I've noticed recently whenever I log on to hotmail in IE6.0 hotmail freezes for a few moments whenever I takes an action: for example, if I click to open a new mail the cursor arrow doesn't turn into the hand right away, it only does so only after a while. This also happens when I want to go...

Is it possible to save harddrive space by installing a program for both OS's in a dual-boot PC at the same directory? I've read somewhere that it could be done, but wonder whether it is a good practice. Suppose I install an application on my PC, which is dual boot with Win 98 and WinXP, at the...

Suddenly when I open a site I've been visiting daily all I could see was a blank page, even though at the bottom left corner was the word &quot;Done&quot;. I first thought it may have happened only in IE6, but same thing happened in Opera 6, and in both OS's WinXP and WinMe. On another PC with...

In Dos, this command &quot;C:\>Dir > xxx.txt&quot; will create text file listing all the files in a particular directory, what is the equivalent of such command in WinXP? Thanks.

I set up dual boot with WinME and WinXP on two different harddrives. The soundcard is SoundBlaster live 5.1. I've already downloaded the SB new driver for WinXP. I guess I have to load the new driver to OS WinXP, but should I also upgrade the current SB driver in OS WinMe to the XP version...

I have a 30g harddrive with ATA 66, 7200rpm. I want to add a second one with ATA 100. The motherboard IDE controller is capable of handling ATA 100. My question is: -Can I connect the new drive, as a slave, to the same primary channel with the old drive, and still fully use its ATA 100...

If I'm listening to a mp3 song through Winamp while surfing the net, the song would be disrupted or cracke whenever the mouse moves, i.e., left or right key of mouse is activated. The problem, it seems, occurs only recently. Anyone has experience with this problem? Please advise. Many thanks...

I want to upgrade my old pc: Intel pent. 166, Asus TXP4. Currently the PC has 64MB: 4 x 16MB 72 Pin SIMM. Since the price of SDRAM has dropped to an affordable level, I want to replace those SIMM with 168 pin SDRAM for the two DIMM sockets on the mobo. Could the SDRAM on the matket, which is...

Recently, instead of showing the name of the folder or subfolder Windows Explorer displays some unreadable characters, sometime they look like numbers, sometime like broken pieces of letters, eventhough the contents of the folder are displayed properly. For example, if I click the folder...
