Find the application title you need in the filename [for example messenger is msmsgs.inf] If you are unsure of the installer, RIGHT CLICK on the file, then select open, at the top of the file should say what application it is:; MSMSGS.INF; Setup INF file for Messenger When you have found the file the right click on it then click install.Tip: To reinstall Microsoft Outlook Express, Right click and select install on MSOE50.inf.

Does anyone know of a list of best practices or third party tool(s) for safely installing and completely uninstalling applications in Windows XP? I want to be able to install applications into Windows XP so that if the app were to corrupt my Windows installation, I can remove it completely and restore my Windows XP back to a ?good? state. I've installed hundreds, maybe thousands of apps on Windows XP platforms. I've tried all sorts of methods for installing apps. These methods include:
? Running Windows in a ?clean boot? configuration: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
? Creating a system restore before each installation
? Using tools that monitor installs and supposedly provide a way to uninstall apps like Advanced Uninstaller Pro: http://www.innovative-sol.com/uninstaller/index.htm? Etc., etc............

Is there a way to combine the installation of apps and the OS and automate it on a single DVD besides disk imaging? Also is there a way to make a SP2 XP install disk with all my updates because the one I have only has SP1?

I cannot install new applications on my WinXP HE. I've tried 10 or more and all give me a similar problem: error during install. some say, that they do not have write access to "program files" dir, but that's nonsense, since the installer installs the directory and some files already.

Use this if you just want to display your IP address and not the extra information (default gateway / subnet mask)Simply copy and paste the following into notepad@echo.@ipconfig | find "IP Address"@echo.@pauseAnd save as IP.BAT (save to your windows dir if you want to be able to access it anywhere)Now when you type IP you will see:---------------------------IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.xPress any key to continue . . .---------------------------(information about the code: @echo. produces a blank line, @ipconfig | find "IP Address" causes the output of ipconfig to be piped to the find command, which looks for the line containing "IP Address", find then outputs your IP address, @pause causes the terminal to wait for user input before continuing. The @ before each command tells the terminal not to echo the command being typed.)

I'm saving picture and video files on separate DVD-RWs. I have Easy CD Creator 5x basic that came w/ the computer and updated it with the patch 5.3.5.10_basic. I pulled my first DVD from a year ago out and added pictures onto it from this year's trip. Original files were there as expected and additions were no problem. Secondly, I started a 2nd disc of all video wmv files. I filled that one to the hilt and do not wish to add to what little room is left.My settings are set thusly: "The selected Record Method finalizes the session. The CD itself is not finalized so additional sessions can be added later. To change this setting click options."Actually, this is the setting I prefer, but in the case of the second disc, it's full for me now and if I wish to possibly play it on my DVD player it needs to be finalized.Problem is, this option isn't available (appears all faded-out) when I click on file, and appears the same to the lower right when I'm looking at disc properties. Only real option in bold black at these times is ERASE, and I don't want to do that! The discs play great on my computer, all material is recognized, etc., but this inability to finalize has me confused. Certainly in theory, a RW disc by its nature will never be truly finalized. Is that what's holding things up? I do believe I should be able to finalize these,

An easy way to hide the Recycle Bin is just to create two .reg files.... open your notepad and copy and paste the listing below and save it as Hidebin.reg and click the .reg file to enter it into the registry. You have to refresh the desktop to see the changes.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIcons]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsClassicStartMenu]"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

I have updated to win xp from win me. The Adaptec Easy CD Creator will not work as a message comes up saying "Drivers are not compatible and could cause problems" so they don't load when I have reinstalled the program.This came with my computer when I bought it with win ME. I have the original disk. I have looked at the web site which now is Roxio, but cannot get a straight answer as to what and where the drivers are to download. They keep wanting me to buy their ver. 10 which is $70. All I want is the program I had before no fancy technical program. I just copied some floppy's and cd's. I don't need all that photo stuff that is on the new program. Also do not need to copy DVD's.I read about registry, but don't want to mess with that after getting my computer running smooth now that I have the Win XP installed.What drivers do I need? When I find a web page their are so many I don't know what to do.

I am looking for a free PDF creator program that is easy to use. I need to deploy this on about 50 PCs in my office and it needs to be idiot proof, I looked at some of the open source PDF creators and they work well but have too many options for users to screw up. I just want something that lets you print to the PDF printer and then save the file as PDF.

Instead of going into the register, it is simpler to open Windows Explorer, find the .exe file that you want, right-click on it and choose send to desktop.

As mentioned in another question, I need to design and maintain a website to show and sell my wife's artwork. It will be as simple as I can make it, very clean and straightforward, consisting of text and photos of the work for sale and a method of ordering and paying. So I'm essentially looking for a program without a lot of bells and whistles--a program that will make the process as easy as possible for me. I'm a very senior citizen and although I can slowly make my way around in this business, I'm not much of a computer whiz.

I've been having a small problem with Roxio's Easy CD Creater 6. I installed the program on my computer an I was able to burn Cds and DVDs ok. Then I installed iTunes to connect to my iPod. I then tried to use Roxio and it could not find my DVD RW drive!! I then uninstalled Roxio and then installed it again. I could then find the DVD RW drive but iTunes said it could not initiallize the drivers to burn CDs. How do I setup my computer so I can use multiple CD/DVD buring software packages?

My computer is often showing blue screens and nothing I've done seems to correct the STOP 0x00000050 error about "page fault in the non_paged area". So I guess is time for me to back-up everything ASAP. Which I never did. Because I don?t know how. Could someone with good will guide me on the steps to get an EASY & SAFE back up using CD's ?

i needed to reformat win xp home and i cannot install Roxio because the upgrade advisor is incorrectly reporting incompatibility. (i am at win xp sp2) I did thisds before and it reinstalled nicely a copla years ago Microsft recognizes it they had a page on it in Help and Support (i put in Roxio Creator 5.1 Basic. it told me to try a couple things but to no avail and the workaround says ignore it..IGNORE? HOW?It can't be ignored cause it won't let me install. this is the disc that came with the puter (Dell Dimension 8100) a few years ago. would anybody have any ideas of how to install Roxio (i cannot afford to buy any new software right now and using WMP 10 is just not as comfortable Roxio is easy and it also writes text so the name of each tune that have bought and burned to a CD-R that I play shows up on my car CD player.
