SYSTEM REACHED THE MAXIMUM SIZE ALLOWED
Jul 21, 2008
I booted my computer the other day and got this message: THE SYSTEM HAS REACHED THE MAXIMUM SIZE ALLOWED FOR THE SYSTEM PART OF THE REGISTRY. ADDITIONAL STORAGE REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED. Then when I tried to do anything on my desktop, nothing responded. So I re-booted and there was no error message this time, and everything worked fine. BUT...every other time I start up my computer, I get the same message -- and when I re-boot, then the message is gone and my computer works fine.

i moved some picture files onto sister's desktop from my computer so that i could print them out. normally i would just print them but our network has been having problems and i was cut off from the printer but not her computer. i figured i would delete the folder. most of the files deleted but a handful will not allow me to delet them.
is it a virus, a worm, do i have adware or spyware that is not being detected on this machine? (i have run spybot and adaware twice after making sure i had them updated).
also i cannot access certain site using IE but i can access them using aol browser. for example, i cannot access eBay with IE, but i can with AOL but i cannot sign in. could this be a symptom of the problem. i donot have a firewall on this machine.it is a Dell Dimension 8400 with XP home.

I recently updated my laptop to Windows Vista, but it came with Windows XP. I'm not exactly sure of Microsoft's licensing rules, but can I take the XP Key and apply that to my other computer since the XP key is no longer in use, or am I somehow braking the rules?

I want to change my desktop background, but when I go to OPTIONS, the images available are grayed out.? It it totally frozen. I cannot even put a theme in, the icons show up, but nothing else.I used to be able to change my background at will, putting photos I had taken up, but now when I go to those options, the only thing I can do is change the background color as the images (including the BROWSE button) are grayed out. I have tried just about every imaginable combination of modifying themes and choosing backgrounds, but still, the only thing I can do is change the color of the desktop. However, when I go to shut down the computer, the image I previously had selected shows briefly.

XPpro/SP2/IE7 I have a DVD r/w drive and a CD r/w drive At present the Send To function only identifies DVD r/w Drive (E I want to add CD r/w Drive (F
1. Went to the "Send To" folder, opened browser, selected CD r/w Drive (F and it came up with just F:/
2. Tried to rename it as as CD r/w (F but ":" is not allowed so called it CD Drive (F)
3. Then tried sending a file to to this new shortcut and it came up with "this is a read only CD" (which is not true as I can load normally from the DVD drive)
4. On further investigation it is suggested that the following registry keys (2) be changed from 1 to 2.
HKEY_CURRENT USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionExplorerCD burningDrivesDrive Type But this did not change anything: I still cannot get the Sent To CD to work properly.

I am running Windows XP Home SP3 on a PC IE6.I received a message yesterday that "a script was running that might cause my computer not to operate at maximum performance" or something like that. It asked if I wanted to continue to let it run and I clicked ok. What usually causes that, is there any way of knowing what the script is and is it ok to continue to let it run?

windows cannot access the specified divice, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.I stopped by a friend's house to service his infected Dell Laptop.Now I can't even access the system information - this is all I know.I installed AVG immediately upon installation it showed me three virus. I clicked on heal and quarantine as needed.Now the computer won't allow me to start any programs besides internet explorer and other silly, useless programs.

I have an old Intel mp3 player. Intel's website stopped supporting it a long time ago but they do still suppply the XP driver. I couldn;t install the driver from Device Manager and went to the driver file itself. The computer produces a warning that "this file contains Active Content" and the computer won;t let the file open. I'n trying to open it from a folder, not from the website so this isn;t an IE warning, except it kind of is. It looks the same, it brought up the Intel website (I may have had it open) and the yellow security warning appeared. That has options to open it, I think. The software on disc was associated with MusicMatch Jukebox.I had to install MusicMatch software before I could install the Intel player software.

I read the manual of Partition Magic v.6, it says that if the partition that contains system files is greater than 7.8 gig then it may not boot. Is it true or there is something I don't understand here? Since I like to run many applications I like to enlarge to about 10 gig but it scare me.

I have a problem with a Compaq Presario running XP Home. I took the CD player out and cleaned out broken pieces of a CD that was destroyed in it. I got it cleaned out, put back together and now the pc won't boot up. I don't know what went wrong. Cleaning the CD player was quite easy and went back together okay. I hooked all of the wires up the way they were. On the front of this computer, there are two lights. One on the left which is green, and one on the right which is orange. Normally, when the power button is pushed, the green light comes on first, then the orange light comes on during the loading process. You can see the boot process on the monitor.
Now, after hooking it back up today, when the power button is pushed, the green light comes on, then the orange one comes on and goes back off after a moment. The green light stays on. Nothing at all shows up on the monitor, not even a blinking cursor -- it just stays blank. It stays that way indefinitely nothing. The monitor light is on so it is apparently getting power, but shows nothing. I'm sure the monitor is hooked up correctly; it can only be plugged in one way. While I had everything unhooked and was cleaning the CD player, I plugged the CD player back in for a moment and plugged in the power cord to the pc and pushed the power button. The power came on and allowed me to eject the empty tray. I did this to get the tray out of the way so I could clean beneath it. I tried to turn the power back off with the pc power button after ejecting the tray and it wouldn't seem to shut down.

I set mouse pointer speed (speed cursor moves over the screen) set to max (in control panel)This was fine until I upgraded from a 19" screen to a DELL 2405, this being a 24" widescreen. Now the screen is massive (I run at 1920 res) and the mouse is just too slow when in XP. Is there any way I can tweak XP to speed my mouse pointer up even more.

I am using an elderly 3M LCD projection panel on an overhead prjector for big screen Tv, driven by XP pro SP3. The panel has no controls for vertical/horizontal size and whatever monitor is used, an OS desktop fills the screen by default. I can resize the window for the TV viewing program in the normal way,just filling my projection screen, but the XP desktop is far too large.Does anyone know of a way to change the physical size of the desktop (including the taskbar) so that it sits in the LCD screen with a blank border all around, or maybe even make it custom resizeable as in a program window ( without changing the resolution)?
