Installing XP: Unable To Get Display Contents?
Sep 10, 2007
So I was installing windows xp on a dell 4300, I was basically done when suddenly the monitor went black and said it can't display the content (dell E207WFP anyways, I tried some other old 15" dell monitor lcd, same problem. I am repairing the installation now, but I have no idea how to fix the problem if I can't see the screen. I have other computers at my disposal, but since I have no idea how far along the setup is (it is close to done, I think just setting up the accounts left).

When im running some programs, such as adobe after effects or painter or premiere or other programs, sometimes the screen flashes white, or I loose part of the display window - it becomes transparent. Contents of the menues may disappear partially. This is some kind of display problem. I know it not hardware becasue I have a dual boot of the same OS and this dosnt happen on the other partition. It sounds like a video card driver problem...but ive unistalled and re-installed the video driver and still problem persists.

Disk Management describes that on my physical Drive (WD5000AAJB) drive is "Dynamic Unreadable" and doesn't display any info about its contents. The drive is a data disk (not the boot disk) and has an NTFS format. It
hasn't been partitioned at any times. HOW i recovery some data from that disk? I try eg. GetDataBack NTFS and i see that there is right data, but how i recover it with out buy expensive license(~100EUR). Is that ISO imgage only way be cause only file straight copy is not allowed(license), BUT i dont have enough free space my other HDD to make ISO image file!

my problem is that sometimes i open up a window on my desktop but cannot view all of the content in the window because the window is too small to display it all. the window cannot be maximized nor can i scroll up or down or enlarge it by clicking and dragging the edges.

I am experiencing pixelization problems. At first it would only occur at boot up or reboot. Now it is happening all the time which can be help somewhat by refresh, changing the desktop picture, and/or logging off then on I have tried, disabling the 128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro using device manager. At first it was OK but at low resolution (VGA I think), but when it asked if I wanted to let windows manage the graphics it got garbled again. I have reset resolutions down to 800 x 600 using the graphics card but that doesn't help.

XP PRO, sp3: Was working on a friend's computer. Slaved his hard drive to my system. I put in Windows CD and hit Enter to repair an existing installation. I decided to give it a run, so I started the repair process. And of course, as soon as I did, I realized I was on the WRONG INSTALLATION (mine, which was working - not my friend's)! The operation hadn't yet started - at least according to the progress bar - and the screen said something like, "Setup is loading" or "Setup is preparing" or something like that.

Since I switched to WinXP, I'm having a problem. In many applications, when I go to "File Open", I am presented with a default view of pictorial icons, rather than text listings of the files directory. This did not used to happen in earlier versions of Windows. Is there a way to stop this, so that I would only ever see a List or Details view, and never a pictorial representation of the files?

I changed the display settings on my Windows XP computer to the highest resolution and my screen now has the message that it is not able to diplay video at the current setting--or something to that effect. I have turned the computer off and back on again and I have tried to reboot in Safe Mode, but neither works.

I am unable to modify the Desktop background (in the Display options). Regardless of whatever choice I make I always get a white background.Avast Anti-viruss scan found no viruses and 'Malwarebytes' found no malware. I tried System Restore' but it cannot restore.I turned off and on the PC, unplugged it from the mains but to no avail.The problem started after removing some malware using Ad-Aware.

I am unable to display a screen resolution of less than 1600 by 1200 Pixels correctly. Instead of filling the whole displayr I end up with a Window in the centre of the display that gets smaller as I change the screen resolution to less. I am using an IBM Thinkpat A22p and this problem occured just after I attached an external LCD Monitor.

Over the last week on this laptop i've had lockups and freezes.Thought i'd try using WinsockxpFix.I'd ran out of discs so just backed up everything important to My Docs.Downloaded and ran the fix and had the message to create a registry backup...then another message saying the directory to store a registry backup to didn't exist did i want to create it.i clicked yes and had the message that all the files could not be deleted.Didn't understand that so i just cancelled the fix and exited.Now My Docs are completely empty...everything has gone! they are not in the recycle bin either...have restored back to the earliest point i can but still My Docs folder is empty.Is there an app to recover these with...is there anything i can do...there's weeks of course work there.

I am ready to connect to my PC an external enclosure with an old 40 Gb HDD containing data . However I don't dare to do it without some good advise on what previous steps should I have to consider, if any, before connecting it to power and to the USB gate. Unfortunately there were not instructions in the box.
