    Start menu too big

    I'm w/ Bman. 3 columns = sloppy. 1 'short' column = easy to navigate.

    STRANGE problem

    I Googled "Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Device\HarddiskVolume1\$Mft," and came up with a page full of results. I suggest you do the same (Google the error message) and read up on it... it's all pretty much in geek speak over my head. The gist of it, that I do...

    Damaged Encryted Archive Files...

    Try launching Folder Crypto Password 2.0 and opening the archive from there. Hopefully it's just a problem with incorrect file association and something else is giving you the damaged archive message. If that 'Folder Crypto' program won't open what it encrypted I guess it gets a major thumbs...

    problems downloading SP2

    Here's a list of mirrors you can download from: http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?file=WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe&size=278927592 I'm on a cable connection so I haven't had a need for a download manager, but with these mirrors you can use the one of your choice I'm sure.

    Ok I have a HUGE Problem in W2K...

    w/o the password I'm not sure what to suggest. You can try an 'fdisk /mbr' and see it that helps at all... doubtful. My recommendation is to slave the hard drive into another machine and retrieve the files... from there you can do a clean install on the machine in question. I'd go as far as...

    Problems with a PCChips M75LMRT

    If your m/b died not much will help, unfortunately. All I can do is give you some ideas that I'd try in a similar situation. Try resetting the bios for one... you should have a jumper for that on your m/b somewhere. If no joy with that, I'd pull everything except the essentials (video...

    Sys Info folder after partition magic

    This is what I do when I have a stubborn file/folder that Windows won't let go of for deletion. From Task Manager stop the service 'explorer.exe,' this will kill your shell. Then from the pull down menus run a new task (File> New Task (Run...)) and type in 'explorer' which will re-launch your...

    Fried motherboard... but fried power supply?

    good advise Maveric169. I'd take it even further... reduce the computer to pieces... disassemble it completely, clean every piece with a damp rag and an old toothbrush in those hard to reach areas like fan blades. While you're at it inspect everything very well. I'd go as far as pulling the...

    Scanner ?

    Has your dad added any new usb items lately? Try unplugging everything 'usb' except the scanner. Because it is a usb device you can 'hot' plug and unplug it (plug it in or unplug it while the machine is on). Hot plug it in and see if windows picks up the new usb device... if not you may have...

    P4G800-V won't post...

    Wow. I'm looking at your manual. Try to clear your cmos by following the procedure on page 1-17. After that the only thing I can think about is to ensure you have both power supply cords connected (page 1-4 shows mainboard layout... make certain items 1 and 7 are securely seated)... make sure...

    Do you know for sure that your cpu is good? That and the power supply are the next 2 things I'd target.

    P4G800-V won't post...

    well, you got a beep... that's a good thing. I'd research that memory some more if i were you. I found this: http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4g800-v/overview.htm I'm not exactly sure what kind of stick(s) you're using now. Are they on that 'approved' list? My guess is...
