    XP stalling in Games.

    I know it's not much of a solution, however most game makers suggest you don't run any virus software and also as little else as possible while playing.

    Cordless keyboards clashing.........

    I know at least on wireless mice you can select from two different channels to be connected on. Try to set the keyboards also in this fashion.

    Services Question

    I have a Comcast cable internet connection. Whenever the connection "burps", a simple modem reset won't do to restore the link, I also have to reboot to be able to bring up web pages. Is there an XP Service or Process I could restart/reset to achieve the same thing? Thanks in advance!

    Hi there, I have a NIC wich I ha

    First make sure that card is really snapped in real tight. If XP set up a duplicate connection, you can likely delete the old one.

    Need help with XP

    IDE Cable

    You also might have to change the jumper settings on the back of the drives. There should be a diagram there for which setting is for which purpose (master or slave).

    Add Printer Wizard will not start

    Hope this helps, but my friend just bought a laptop and something similar was occurring. I went in and manually started the "Print Spooler" service. After that the Add Printer Wizard started normally.

    Labeling crashes since XP update

    Try having him roll back the driver to the previous one from device manager. See if it will work after that. If so try to use a MS signed driver whenever possible.

    Multi user MSN Messenger help

    I just performed a clean XP reinstall. Upgraded to MSN version 4.6 from Win Update. After creating a second XP user, the MSN messenger does not load at startup for the second user even though it is set to and is fine when I log into XP. When I try to start it manually from the start menu...

    Explorer Address Bar ActiveX Control gone AWOL

    Hope I understood your question, but it seems you have no address bar in IE or Win explorer? If so try this... open either and right click under the title bar. Make sure address bar is checked. Also if all else fails, open the internet options, go to advanced tab and select "restore...

    Drive properties incorrrect

    It's not the complete answer, however I'm pretty sure System Restore is allocating some of the space for recovery images. It's definitely not using all the space you are missing, but you can free the space up by turning off System Restore monitoring for that partition.

    How do you make a bootable DOS disk?

    Just a comment regarding checking the MS-DOS box in floppy format. I tried this and then tested it. I was not able to perform FDISK or access other DOS commands, I got an unrecognized command error! I currently use a leftover Win '98 DOS startup floppy to perform some DOS utilities.

    IE Windows...

    I tried this and it seems to work fine. I am using Win XP, and I've tried it before in 98, but it wouldn't take. I didn't bother trying in XP. Thanks for your help.
