Aug 18, 2006Just switched from Windows 98 to Windows XP Pro and would like to know if it is possible to get some of the old savers and themes that I had with the 98? there were quite a few that I liked but I do not have them with this OS. I do have the Windows 98 disk and was wondering if they would be on it and if so how would I install them to this system?

Feb 16, 2006I have Windows XP on a Dell 8300. Recently. after running one of those programs that supposedly cleanup your registry, I lost the ability to run my screen savers. On the "Display" menu the spot where you are to decide the amount of time that is to pass before the screen saver comes up is greyed out. I am guessing that one or more of my dll's was removed or corrupted.

Aug 12, 2002If anyone else was wondering how to get rid of the annoying Screen Savers that Microsoft feels you have to have with XP they made it a little more difficult than normal.
1. First navigate to “C:windowssystem32dllcache”. Cut and paste or type in your address bar to get there because it is a hidden folder. Once there, delete the Screen Savers in that folder. Otherwise, you will find that they will come back no matter how many times you delete them from your system 32 folder.
2. Then you have to go to C: Windowssystem32 and delete the Screen Savers you want to get rid of . (Answer the file protection popups with cancel and yes.)
3. Voila- no more Screen Savers!
Delete Unwanted Screen Savers Loaded - C:Windowssystem32
Nov 27, 2002how to get rid of the annoying Screen Savers that Microsoft feels you have to have with XP they made it a little more difficult than normal.
1. First delete the screen savers you want to get rid of in either C:Windowssystem32dllcache or depending on if or how you installed the Service Pack(s) also in C:WindowsServicePackFilesi386. (To see these folders you must have "Show hidden files and folders" checked and "Hide protected operating system files" unchecked in Folder Options > View .)
2. Delete the screen savers in C:Windowssystem32 (always assuming your XP is installed in C:Windows). If you have omitted step 1. Windows file protection will replace the files within seconds. Voila---no more Screen Savers!
It's Driving Me Nutso - Create Smileys - Emotions
Jun 3, 2005I just had my HJT log analyzed and it's clean. I'm still having problems on my home computer (at work now), but images are STILL not displaying correctly online. Also I've noticed that certain emoticons, smilies that are animated do not move (are not animated.) Anyone have a clue as to why? I've got the latest Java, or at least I think so. There has been some setting that was changed, and for the life of me I can't figure it out.

May 10, 2010Lately my computer has been extremely slow, not just internet slow but onboard slow. For example, if I click on an application from the desktop it will sit there for 10-20 seconds before anything happens. Occasionally I'll click multiple times on something and nothing will happen then 30 seconds later it will open multiple instances of things. This delay has been happening with just about anything I click on, acting like the computer's busy doing something else when nothing else should be going on. I've looked in the task manager and the applications column will be blank

May 27, 2006We run Comcast high speed, two computers running though a router setup. My son "opened a port" to speed up his game play. My computer now crawls.

My son seems baffled, but I know he doesn't want to sacrifice his warp speed game play.

Mar 15, 2004And yes, I've seen the link with all the progs to clean up your machine- great idea to put them in one place. Ran all of them, still no dice.Here's the problem. Everything is running slow- games, IE, etc.- and when I check task manager I range from 10% to 20+% CPU usage (not sure if that's normal or not) when nothing but the essentials are running. update: i've defraged all drives, cut my memory back to 512MB (out of 1.5GB) and killed all unnecessary background/startup progs.What other info do you guys need? You've helped me a few times before, and it's usually something bone-headed I've done, but I'm also bull-headed and that's the only way I seem to learn yes you may have seen this post before, but it's 7 or 8 pages back now. and since there's no search option here, stuff tends to get left behind.
