I am getting the (program) "has encountered a problem and needs to close error report with a number of programs on my PC."It started with Outlook (2003) then Sony Media Manager and now Mailwasher Pro. I can use Outlook to send and receive messages OK and the error only appears as Outlook is closing down. My Mailwasher Pro update wont run at all and produces the error report when I try to run it. In the last couple of weeks I have tried to download a number of programs, some install and run OK and some produce the above error report when I try to run them.
Whilst mine still works OK,it wont transfer the selected emailsto outlook express as it always has.Im not sure if the problem is with Mailwasher or Outlook express.
after a while of using my computer i will get error messages saying that programs/ie cannot be opened because there is insufficient memory. the computer is fine before this and handles many different things at the same time. i have to restart my computer every time this happens. i am currently running XP.
The first problem is on a computer which has xp home and 3 user accounts. The problem is that only some programs are working on the user accounts but all the programs work under the administer account. So my question is how can I get to work under the user accounts. When they were installed the box was check to let everyone that uses the computer to access the program. The other problem I am having is also with xp home. In my office I have 7 computers and they are all network. This might need to be in the network forum
Windows XPCompaq 52002.7 GHZ512 MBWould like to know how to find out what is running in the background when I'm on. I have a problem with the computer freezing up when I try to do two things at once. Never had the problem until 2 weeks ago. Have done all the disk scan,defagment,checked all my adware & viris programs.
Not sure if this is really considered a tweak or useful but I love it and everyone i show it to does also. Works on 98se to XP.Create a new folder of any name in my Documents, now put any shortcut to a program you would like. Drag the folder drom the DOCument folder onto your task bar where your clock is. Now you have a customized quick folder for accessing programs on the fly without the clutter of desktop icons
My wife's computer got real slow. She says it happened the same time asWindows XP told her to add a Search Desktop feature. Is this a realWindows program? If so, what is the best way to remove it and everythingit has indexed
Having recently had someone else using my computer for a while, installing various software (like winamp and SubEdit player) it seems windows media player (that's what I use) no longer recognises the usual files as media files like .mp3 .wmv .m3u .avi etc etc so when I click open file and select "media files (all types)" in the file type box it shows nothing, so I have to change it to all files which is irritating. Media player still plays everything fine but this is pretty annoying.
Win XP Home edition. I'm in the Speed Up Windows Startup class. I currently have a very long list of startup programs running. Is it safe for me to disable all except security programs (Symantec Norton,AdAware,Spyguard)?Charles

Since installing SP3 my media centre will not open although the rest of XP runs fine. I get a report 'Strong name validation failed for assembly 'C:Windowsehomeehshell.exe. The file may have been tampered with or it was partially signed but not fully signed with the correct private key.I have the original installation disk from Dell, but it won't recognise the key that came with the pc to re install it. Is there any way I can repair the file in question. I have tried uninstalling sp3, and using the recovery program, but nothing is working to make it work again.
I get this every time I try to open a media file even when I click "always use selected program" This just started happening a few days ago after I ran a bunch of registry cleaners.
I have Windows XP and I recently had a problem with my task manager becoming disabled. Upon attempting to open task manager I would recieve a message stating that it had been disabled by my administrator, I am the administrator and I did not disable the task manager. I corrected this problem and now when I attempt to open the help menu in the task manager I get a message stating that the task manager has encountered a problem and needs to close.
A friend of mine has a 4 yr. old PC running XP Home with 128Mb of memory. He's had problems with programs aborting recently. I tried to run Device Manager to make sure there were no issues there. It briefly brought the screen up, then it went away. The same thing happened to Task Manager when I tried to see what was running and how much memory was being used. Anybody ever see this behavior before? I might try installing a memory cleaner pgm (ie. Memturbo), but I'm not sure I would even be able to get it to run. The hard drive amd memory seem to have no errors.
Wondering which versions of XP can Access which other versions of XP.Specifically, can media center edition access media center edition , or do one or both OS's have to be XP PRO. My understanding is that XP Home cannot access or be accessed via Remote Access.
I am looking to purchase a laptop that will mainly be used for Accounting (either Quickbooks or Microsoft Accounting 2006) & from time to time conncted to home workgroup to get the internet for down loads. I thought about the Media OS for future use since it would be a laptop but not sure if that will affect what I want to use for now. Does it matter?
how can get rid of the pop up when you insert cd rom,memory card, usb memory? it pops up on xp and asks what you would like to do to the file, i.e view folder, play tracks, etc etc? is there a tick box somewhere that deselects it as a default
I have Windows Vista Business Edition; I know that I cannot install that version over Windows XP Media Center, so I was wondering if I can install XP Pro over Media Center without having to reformat, and then install Vista over Pro (also without having to reformat).
I am in the process of buying Pro-tools, which is a recording software and interface. In doing research I unfortunately discovered that pro tools is not compatible with Window Media Center but is compatible with Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional. Is there anyway that I can get rid of Media Center (without loosing my files) and install XP pro. Do I need the original CD for WMC? If I just go out and buy the CD with XP can I just install that, or do I need to get rid of WMC first?
my OS went from Media Center to XP Pro and I didn't do it! Now I cannot (or computer cannot) access Common Files, among other issues. For example: Trying to open Common Files (to look for file referenced by Logitech install issue) results in error "C: not formatted". My computer probs all began with some auto update that restarted my computer; upon restart, error "Windows could not start because following file is missing or corrupt: C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM". Every time i start computer, it looks for mouse driver, then finds and identifies it then can't "find file specified" and default-directs to C:Prog Files/Common Files/ etc etc. I ran chkdsk, defrag, etc. Finally I ran sfc /scannow and was instructed to insert disk 2 of XP Pro, but I don't have XP Pro. I don't want to take up a whole lot of space with my issue; the above is the end result (so far) of much troubleshooting. And somehow an OS that started off as Media Center became XP Pro.
I am about to purchase an Acer Aspire 9500 for use at work on a windows 2003 server network. It will also be used shen I am traveling and at home. Does anyone know if XP Media Centre has the same functionality as XP Pro where network connectivity is concerned? Also are there any other things that I should be concerned about choosing XP Media Centre over XP Pro?
So basically, I tried repairing a Windows XP Media center install by booting from a Windows XP Pro CD and then using the Repair function.I didn't use Media version, because the only install CD I had on me was Pro. It was probably a bad idea to install Pro over Media.
1.) Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the system BIOS so the CD boots before the hard drive. Check your system documentation for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.
2.) When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below. This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft Windows XP to run on your computer
I'm thinking of builidng a new high end gaming PC, and will be using AMD 64-bit CPU. The big question in my mind is which OS would be the best. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
For months I had no problem ripping cd's and playing the music on WMP10. Suddenly the system will no longer do either. Clicking on any of the listed songs results in other music playing which,obviously was not affected. I might add that listed number of times previously played were all erased. Has a new policeman for copyrighted music shown up somehow?
how can I tell if a hard drive is bad or not. getting error..press Ctrl Alt Delete to restart but just keeps going back to the error.this computer was fine the day before.
I want to watch tv and surf the internet from my television set. What is the best hardware set up for this? I have DSL internet connection and Digital Cable. I would consider changing everything in order to be able to combine both activities on one set. I also download videos (from Tivo and from the internet.) I am maxing out my storage in both.
pc one plus and a Media pc two. Both running XP Pro I can connect and control the media pc using remote desktop no problem. The trouble is that when I exit from remote desktop the host pc is left in screensaver mode, and when I log on again, which is a bit of a pain as I like to hide the keyboard behind the telly. I do control the media pc quite regularly to load music files
