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.

All the programs on me computer randomal, every now and again (3 times an hour) decide to close with the same lovely error popping up every time about an unexpected error with the 'Send' 'Don't Send' buttons.think I may have two explanations, The RAM, a corrupt system file or a corrupt hard drive.Does anybody have any idea about why this is happening and if so, a solution?
I am in a bad bad situation. Whenever I go to my computer/win explorer and try to right click on any item, i get an error in Windows Explorer with the send report and dont send option buttons. Im not able to do many things due to that. and this is not a virus or something I guess because I have a good AV software and I was using my PC throughout till yesterday evening when I shifted it from 1 room to another. And thats when it happened for the first time.
I have a probleme, lately I figure out that when i log on ot the internet, I got this message " program not responding " and I have two option send roport or don't send it, then I have to start over, and the same thing keep going on.
I have added some folders & a drive to the "send to" folder and they are listed.But when I right click on a file or folder they are not listed in the options in the drop down box.I right click and drag the folder and drop it in the "send to" folder and select to copy and/or shortcut and it puts it there. What am I doing wrong? That's the way I did it in 98.
I would like to send files to my own folders using "Send To". It seems my choice for send to is very limited.When right clicked on a file, I can send only to Desktop, Mail Recipient, and My documents. It did not work either. Could someone advise me to how to increase the target for "Send To" (e.g., D:Important personal folder)?
Every time I exit Overlord I get Send/Don't Send error with modname "ntdll.dll". A mate of mine has the same error. ps: is is normal that Windows XP has so many errors?
I have setup my three printers for internet shraring, when i goto http://doamin/printers > click on the printer > connect > it asks for username and password, i give, and it gives some error saying i am not allowed to use printer.
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.
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 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 am having problem downloading MSNews groups. I am running XP sp2,Outlook express 6 with AOL as my ISP.When I try to download from the news reader I get 2 error messages 1. You are not allowed to view or 2. was unexpectedly terminated by the server. Everytthing was working ok untill I downloaded Internet 7 and I have now reverted to Internet Explorer butI cannot get any now.
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 recently installed Microsoft Office 2007 and it was working fine for a week, now i get this message when i try to use Microsoft Word saying "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked" And when I try to uninstall the whole program it says that 'setup can not continue because a file is missing or corrupt'
I had a bad HDD failure which corrupted part of my WinXP OS with the result that I am unable to boot into Windows. I have reloaded Windows on another HDD and I will be able to recover most of my data from backups. However, there is still some recent data on the bad disk which I am frantic to recover. I am able to find the "Documents and Settings" folder where I believe the "Outlook Express" data is held
I am unable to get into the folder as my username on the computer was passworded (the password is known). Neither am I allowed to copy the folder to my new drive. I cannot access the folder from my new OS even when I password myself with the same username / password. I have attempted to repair the bad drive's copy of Windows but that wasn't successful. I don't want to replace the bad copy with a fresh as this would reformat the drive taking with it the folder I want (and can't copy). Any work on the folder would need to be on the bad drive, it seems. I have run out of ideas.
Can anyone tell me is it possible to send a fax using a dsl I did rang the server up last night who informed me it was not possible , then a friend of mine rang is server and ask the same question they said it was with the right software .
If you use ICQ and windows xp firewall, you have noticed that file send won't work. Here is how to get it working without disabling the entire firewall :1. First you must limit the range of port that ICQ use for send. In icq, click on Main, Preferences, User tab, click on 'Not using proxy' and choose 'Use the following TCP listen port for incoming event from 1030 to 1030'. (use port number of your choice, 1030 is only for exemple)2. After, go into control panel & network connections2. Right click on your connection and select 'properties'3. Left click the advanced tab4. Left click the settings button5. Under services, left click the add button6. For description type "ICQ", for Name of IP put the name that identifies your system with your ISP OR your IP if it is static.7. Both external and internal ports are 1030 by default and TCP. (depend of wich port you set at beginning)8. Click OK and restart
I am clueless when it comes to faxing. How do I find out my fax number. if someone send something to me. How do I get started with faxing something going out?
I have developed a problem attaching and sending/receiving URL's. On receipt from a known sender i receive *.url in the attachment box and when i click to open, a window appears saying " Windows has found that this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to to this file." I have recently started using Microsoft Anti Spyware Beta version and am wondering whether this is having an effect.
This would perform a somewhat similar task as winpopup does.1. Goto command prompt (to do this, click on the start menu and select run, then type in cmd)2.Type net send * (your message)Note: the * would send the message to all of the computeres in the same workgroup as you. To send the message to a specific computer, type in the computer's ip address.
I have lost the Windows repair CD. My computer will not boot up, not even in safe mode, and it first goes to the "welcome" screen with my name and logo to click in order fot XP to boot up. Then it says, "loading personal settings", goes to my desktop for 3seconds, then it logs me off I can't do anything. Will Microsoft send me a repair CD?
I want my company background and screensaver files out to every computer in my company local network so that it will be able to to set those in group policy.

They seem to have received them, at least most people, and there is nothing shown in my Outbox. HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEND ANY EMAILS. I have communicted with my ISP and they confirm that thre is nothing wrong on their end. I have openned and closed Outlook. I have rebooted my computer. I AM SENDING THIS FROM A DIFFERENT Computer. I have checked my settings. I have tried to send items and deleted them. I have tried working offline. Notthng works. I need this computer at work to send emails.
