Winchat - System32 Directory
Aug 12, 2002There is an application in XP that allows networked users to to communicate with each other. It is a very simple program located in the Windows System32 directory. A search for "winchat" will also bring it up. This program can be very usefull to users that work in large office complexes and need to deliver a message to another individual quickly and efficiently. This application also has a real time chat screen, so you can see the other person typing. I have tested this program on 2 computers running XP Pro, not XP Home.1 start, search, "winchat" (or find in Windows, System 32 directory)2 right click and select send to desktop (for easy opening)3 run the program4 choose dial button at the top5 choose the computer of the person on the network who you wish to talk to. 6 both users must agree to connect to each other to talk.

Mar 17, 2007I have a very large, corrupt disc image on my hard drive that I want to delete, but every time I try to delete it Windows displays the message "Cannot delete 'filename': it is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again." The disc image is not mounted with any program, and hasn't been for some time. I tried aborting random processes that I thought might have something to do with the file, as well as restarting. No matter what I do, there seems to be something using the file. Are there any tricks to getting around this so I can delete it? Can I check, somehow, to see what program is using it?

Oct 19, 2007When I start up whether in SAFE Mode or Normal I automatically get the Confirm Delete Message. This applies to programs, icons, photos, documents , folders etc - I cannot get to any of my work to back it up. I have tried Stinger -F-Force and W32.Blackmal@mm Removal Tools. Ran a full AVG scan with uptodate anti virus and Adaware Spyware. Sorry forgot to mention other things tried. The Pop up message does not appear in the Task Manger either as applications or processes. Each time you respongd NO to negate the delete it pops up again. There is no way I can get to any of my folders or files to burn to a CD as backup without the Confirm Delete message.

Jul 19, 2005I replaced the hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 8200 and reinstalled XP Pro. My first attempt didn't work and I installed the OS a second time. Now when I start up I get a screen that asks me which OS I want to start in (both choices are the same - Windows XP Pro). If I select one of them Windows boots normally. If I select the bad version my system won't boot and I get an error message stating there is a "disk hardware configuration problem". How do I remove the second (bad) version of the OS so that I don't get this choice and the system will boot automatically?

Confirm Delete - Pop Up Box
Dec 9, 2006I've been deleting files from the Media Center in XP Media Edition and every time I click delete a pop up box asks me if I'm sure I want to delete. Is there any way to set the computer to just delete what I ask without the pop up box popping up? I realize this is just a security deal, so you don't accidentally delete a file you need, but its annoying, and with system restore working, unnecessary.
