I brought a Lexar JumpDrive key memory of 256Mb. One day, after 6 month of use I saw the disk space was reduced to: 205,599,232 bytes196MB..There is a problem with the memory stick? Or is caused by using several USB mass storage devices?
View 7 RepliesWindows XP forgets my folder view settings. Is there a fix? By default, Windows XP will remember the view settings for the 400 most recently used folders. After that, XP will begin overwriting the data of the oldest folder, and its view setting will be lost.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop here with an apparently dead CD drive, that needs a fresh OS load. Has anyone ever successfully loaded XP from a USB jump drive. I don't want to boot XP from the jump drive, but rather want to install it to the systems hard drive, using the usb jump drive.
all advice appreciated. If there is no method to do this, how hard is it to set it up to run over the network. I have imaged my XP cd to a .iso file. Can probably convert it if need be...
In my E: Drive I'v found the free space getting reduce when i access its folders.I'v run a scan using ESET Smart security and a-squared Anti-malware while runing the scan the free space increased by 100 MB but the problem persist even after the complete scan.

I installed Microsoft Windows XP Professional service pack 2 on a drive of 10 GB memory space with NTFS file system.
After the installation of Win XP, the drive properties shows 4.9 GB of used memory and only 4.45 GB of free memory, but when I try to find total memory occupied for all the files in that drive (using "select-all" and properties) the used memory is only 2.3 GB only.
Now I don't understand the huge difference of this memories calculations. Where that extra used memory gone, when the total memory occupied by all the files is much less.

I recently had some nasty spy/malware on my computer and it took me some time to get rid of it and I noticed today that I have Broadjump Client Foundation among my Programs list under Add/Remove Programs. I also am getting what I think is a bogus spyware popup alert every now and then that reads something like: Critical System Warning. Your system is probably infected with latest version of Spyware.CyberLog-X more spelling/ grammar errors and then an option to "donwload antispyware software". I'm wondering if it's that Broadjump Client Foundation because I don't recognize that at all.

Whenever I'm typing, be it an email, posting on a board like this etc, my cursor will suddenly jump back up a few lines or even way back up into the subject title field. It's very annoying, as I've got to constantly mouse to where I belong to fix typing over previous sentences.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a toshiba satellite laptop running XP Home. This morning as I am browsing the web I get a popup from the task tray telling me I am low on memory on the c drive. I have a 100gb hard drive and I think "no freaking way". I go to "my computer" and c: and hover over every folder in there - even the hidden ones. As I see it - I am only using about 30 gigs - which I still think is BS. I have about 10gigs of music. about 5 in movies that I have compressed to go on to my phone and about 5 min pictures.
I was going to run my virus scan (trend micro installed by my law school) but for some reason it won't update. It really never has unless I was on their system. I tried to uninstall the POS and it asks me for a password - which I don't have. I have emailed the IT department asking for help with removal before and they always tell me that I have to bring it in. Well - that doesn't work for me. So. I have rune the house call virus scan twice. It stalls both times at the end and I get nothing out of it. I have run Adaware and spy bot and removed all of the BS. So - I guess my question is - how the does my computer - which has about 20-30 gigs worth of stiff on it, register in the my computer portions as 30+ and give me a warning that I have 98 gigs used?....
While typing a document, a sound will occur and I will lose my curser. Subsequent typing does not appear on the screen. I have to click where I want to type to reset the cursor. This happens frequently while typing. This occurs in my Word Processor, in my email, or anyplace I type. I found that the Title Bar also dims at that time and if I click on the Title Bar the cursor will return. My operating system is Windows XP. There are no error messages.

also, on a slightly unrelated note, the pc also sometimes freezes; usually when several applications are running, bit it has been known to happen when barely anything is open. strangely, the cursor will not move, but remains on screen for a few seconds and then disappears completely. is this due to a lack of ram, or is there another way to solve this?i hope i have provided enough information.

The problem can always be rectified by simply logging off and back on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 computer and a printer hooked up to a firewall then to the DSL modem. about once or twice a day either 1 or both computers loss connection and the only way to get them to come back up is to restart the computers. Other ways it happens are one will be down without Internet and the other will be working fine. Both computers are HP's running win XP. I am at a remote location that the store connects to. i can ping to the firewall and see it within a min of them calling me and telling me it is down. i dont ever see any errors or lost packets or anything on the firewall.
The things i have done.
1) I have replaced both computer 2 different times.
2) rewired the store with cables from walmart.
3) replaced the modem (replaced by dsl provider - they show the circuit is fine)
4) replaced the firewall
5) gone through hijack this logs even on a computer i set up for them the day before.
6) got a battery backup for the computer in the backroom.
It's an Asus Eee PC 1501, which has Windows XP installed on it. All it is generally used for is to run XBMC, play music via iTunes and do a little web-surfing. I received some sort of error, the ones that you occasionally get were the dialogue box will generally ask do you want to send the error to Microsoft; 'Send' or 'Don't Send', etc. I normally take note but I was going to to turn off the pc anyway so I pretty much just ignored it (now I can't remember what error it was) and I shut down the PC as normal.
Today I started up my PC as normal, although I seem to have lost many functions. The system hangs just after the welcome screen on the desktop for a while (far longer than it used to. About 5 minutes) without displaying any icons at all.
I decided to launched a game, and realised there was no audio. I tried to bring up Volume Control from the system tray, and was greeted with the error "The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit." Didn't sound good. BTW, this was while using my Creative SoundBlaster Audigy SE card.The next thing I tried to do was to connect speakers to the integrated card and see if that worked.
I then went all out and uninstalled the Creative and Soundmax drivers and utilities completely, rebooted, and installed them both again afresh between reboots. Still no luck: Same errors. I also tried switching the PCI slot for the audio card as the previous slot was directly underneath the graphics card, but this didn't do the job.
