Sometimes I have to re-install windows without uninstalling my programs. When I do this-- the programs are still there, BUT, XP can't connect to them. I have to reinstall the programs.How do I avoid this and/or what do I need to do to get everything back as it was? This is NOT for a complete format and reload.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded and installed Apple QuickTime as a part of I-tunes.I-tunes installed in the directory I selected, but Quick Time installed in the program files directory without asking.I am low on space in this partition and want to move it. Norton used to have a utility to do this, but if it is in Systemworks 2004, I can't find it.I would also like to move some other programs.I can't just cut and paste because there are registry entries.Is there a utility for this?I am reluctant to edit the registry manually.Can I cut and paste and then rely on Norton's Win Doctor to find and fix the registry errors?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi put together a system the other day after my old one totally pooped out on me. i installed the hard drive from my old system into the new one as a second hard drive, and installed xp pro onto a different hard drive (primary master) in the new system.
how can i use all my old programs that are installed on the old hard drive without confusing the heck out of xp? many of the applications on the old hdd are confused when i run them, i am guessing because when they reference files in locations where they think they should be, but they are not finding them. i don't even have enough room on the primary master drive to install all the programs, its a very small drive. nor do i have enough room to fit xp onto the second hard drive.
OK, my computer has been running very slowly over the last couple of years. I took it to someone to fix but the computer is still running rather slowly. I'm not sure if there is a virus, or if any programs that are installed on it are conflicting.

In other words, I need to install all mt programs in a server and only launch on my work station so I do not corrupt the server and I don't have to reinstall all programs on a new work station.
Thank you very, very much.
For some reason my computer will not show new programs installed when you go to, Start, All Programs, tabs, however, the programs are installed and you can see them when you use explore and follow the path to the program. Can the page be to full to show all the programs or what?

Played this game for a yr with NO problems. Lag problem started after I ran those programs. I am curious if the spyware removal proggies didn't take a file or two that I need for internet connection.I know there was somewhere in win 98 that I could check windows for missing corrupt window files and have them replaced and or repaired can you do that with XP and how do I get there ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have recently had a few minor problems with my pc so I decided to try to repair it with my Windows XP disc. What I actually ended up doing was to reinstall windows xp again and now my pc is back to the day it was made, well almost. None of my other programs are installed but they are still on the "C" drive. Everything is still there.
Now my question is, How do I restore my PC to before I put my darn XP disc in my machine?(I have already tried a system restore but it wont go back far enough).
Im using a dial up connection, when turn my pc on and go online there is no problem but once I disconnect and want to go online again when I try to connect a message appear Error633 the modem or other connecting device is already in use or not configured properly to connect again I always need to restart the computer. Ive already reinstall my modem but its still the same.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen my Mom proffers an invitation for remote assisance using MSN Messenger 7.0 she recieves the following: "Remote Assistance cannot connect because <user> denied the request for help". I've looked at some of the other, similar, threads posted on connectivity issues with 7.0 in these forums, but nothing seems to help. We can send and recieve each others video and audio. Also, the games work. I've tried to do this with a couple of other freinds with the same result. Before we were forced into the 7.0 upgrade there were no problems.
I've checked my settings to allow RA, reinstalled 7.0, tried using Windows Messenger, and have tried doing this with my firewall (ZoneAlarm) disabled.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble connecting to web browers. I am connected to the internet, and can still connect to MSN, AIM etc., most of the time.Basic Info:I am using Windows XP (version 5.1.26, Home edition) I am using a cable modem I am also using a router for internet sharing between my desktop computer (directly connected to router) and my laptop computer.I scanned my system by running network diagnostics to gether more information.The scanning traced a problem under "Network Adapters". More specifically, it says "(FAILED)" next to the IP Address, and "(PASSED)" next to everything else: Default Gateway, DHCPServer, DNSServerSearchOrder.I gather the IP address is the problem (though the IP address itself appears normal, beginning with 192.168).
