View 6 RepliesI have a new Compaq SR1520NX computer with windows XP and 512MB.
At startup, the Compaq boot screen ( boot, setup, system recovery) options. appears and hangs there for 4 minutes before windows welcome screen loads.
I have tried using msconfig and went through and unchecked everything, just to see. Still have same problem. I contacted HP, however they could offer no help.
I was just wondering if i put windows xp 64bit to a system with dual core 64bit cpu and 512mb of ram, will i see any difference in the page file usage in comparison to windows xp 32bit

View 7 Replies View RelatedI added a 512mb stick and 500gb hard drive to an AMD 1.7mhz system that was running fine but just out of disk space (figured as long as the chassis was open to throw in the ram too). Now I can barely use the darn thing. Runs extremely slow. Audio and video and useless, responses are crazy - even the mouse is herky-jerky. Went into taskmanager and there is one program that seems to be using a lot of processor time but I alway have that one running even in the 'old' configuration. I can kill it and it helps a little bit but why should more resources make things worse. I have AVG running for virus checking and regularly run adaware and spybot for malware checking. Checked system settings and everything looks fine there as well - cache, VM, performance, etc. all set to normal levels (768mb by the way).

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have looked through several threads about this problem and have tried the solutions suggested but so far no success. I hope someone maybe able to come up with something.I have XP Professional installed. On Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Advanced the "turn off advanced text services" always seems to get rechecked. Even if you uncheck it the language bar on the task bar does not appear (even though it is ticked on Taskbar/right-click/Toolbars). If the Language bar option becomes available on Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Settings, when you open it all the Language Bar Settings are greyed out.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am going to try to explain this as best I can. This is a friends computer. She has this sewing machine that has a memory stick that she plugs into her computer. As you can see on the 1st screen shot "removable Drive L" is NOT present. It used to show but it does not show anymore. She sad that she clicked on "EJECT DISC", and now Removable Drive L " does not show UNLESS she has the memory stick plugged in as you can see in the 2nd screen shot. So she is wanting to know how she can get "removable Drive L" to show up again, like drives. G,H,I and J. I am asking her for more information because now that I look at these screen shots, I see in the 2nd one that she actually is showing "6" Removable drives.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm sorry for posting so many questions here. But my Windows XP operating sytem isn't displaying icons when I download new items. Instead I have to right click > properties > change icon > OK. Instead of automatically installing the icon, it shows this:on the desktop. It displayed a similar image for virtually everything in the start menu too. This meant I had to install every single icon in the start bar menu manually! What is causing this? How can I fix it so it automatically displays icons for newly installed items?

I can't seem to get much information on wacko.gif Just built a new rig that is running XP x64 with latest drivers and updates, specs are below. Installed my otf's (openType fonts) and have tried 2 different type managers (Extensis Suitcase and FontAgent Pro 4) to get my fonts to activate and they are not activating.
This lead me to check the windows font folder and I noticed that any OTF in the folder was not showing up in my applications (photoshop etc). So I double click on the fonts and I am getting a "the requested file /path to font/ was not a valid font file" message. I installed the fonts directly from my cd so I know the fonts are valid.
I just formatted my computer last night and after I reinstalled XP Pro it started showing 2 same OS's to pick from when I start up the computer. I went back into the XP setup and looked for any extra partitions but there is only one so why is this extra XP showing up

I am running Dell Inspiron laptop with xp professional I wish to make a presentation using a Hitachi CP-X345 LCD projector.I want to project a slideshow of pictures and also view on my laptop simultaneously from a .jpg picture file on my harddrive. File is in "my Pictures".I have no trouble in opening this picture file and running a slideshow using Windows picture and fax viewer on my laptop. I cannot get the projector to show anything other than my desktop background. I have tried F5 and also Fn crt/lcd on the F8 key.
I have tried to fool around with display settings but to no avail. I cannot even get my desktop with icons projected.
why when I go to pull up a tech article or some such document that has images as part of the article, the images only show as a box with an "X"? The images tend to support the explanation of the text, but they aren't there. Is there a box within Windows Explorer or something in my Zone Alarm that I have to set in order to get these to show properly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used to be able to see the little icons for the .cur and .ani files when I looked at the Cursor folder in C:Windows. The files themselves are still there and I can use them in the Mouse Pointers setting in Control Panel, but now the icons are all the same IN THE EXPLORER DISPLAY: a bland pointer with a star at the end of it on a piece of paper background. At first, I thought maybe it was a setting in Folder Options in Control Panel, but I realized it's not a matter of file associations. I don't need to open them except in the Mouse Pointers setting, which as I said works.

I have a Dell (Intel Pentium 4, 256MB RAM)Running Windows XP Home Edition.I recently had a Spamware/Virus situation (which I'm still working on fixing, with the help of instructions i found in the Spyware forum - Thanks!) which has caused a whole whack of little problems. I've figured out a couple (re-enabled Registry Editing; re-enabled Task Manager; Re-enabled "Display" in control panel), but there are 2 i can't figure out:When I go into "My Computer", my C: Drive is no longer listed.The "Log Off" button no longer appears on the Start menu. Only the "Turn off Computer" button is there.
