View 2 RepliesI have updated my system from win98 to winxppro. It was my understanding that it would not lose my contacts or favorites, but would simply update the program. I lost everything. Unfortunately, I didn't follow procedure and export the info to a disk. Is there any way to get my contacts back?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOutlook Express folder list and Contacts list are not showing. I've walked her through the process of clicking on View at the top of the Outlook Express Interface and setting the Layout items so that her Contacts and Folder list should be on the screen, but they are not. I've tried everything I can think of to rectify the situation and I've run out of options. The way it is without her folders list she cannot access her deleted folder and her sent folder and cannot delete anything from those folders. Is there anything else I can do to bring up those her contacts list and her folders list?

Interesting to note, is that when "use the welcome screen" is selected, there is a black background to the logon, but when it's not selected (when classic mode is actually supposed to show), I get the logon with the default blue background. I've tried going into regedit and activated it manually, (used a 1 value), but I still get the classic logon screen.

If I go to other lists like my documents clicking one selects them all. How do I stop this happening?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently in an architectural design class and it's getting to the time where my teacher likes to get a clean start on the next year computer-wise. Now he always just uninstalls select things and then reinstalls the better versions the next year. Now I was thinking, since these computers are a few years old, he should just format them entirely, speeding them up greatly and clearing out any old problems. And this is where the problem comes in, he wants to save past student's files and I can't think of a way to do this after doing a wipe leaving out the option of backing them up on a seperate drive.

Normally "do not show hidden files"is only selected. When I clicked on " show hidden files it would work and show the hidden files, until a couple days ago. Now both buttons are still selected but I can not get it to show the hidden files. When I click a button that button will be the only one selected the other one goes out. Then I click apply and ok then open view back up both buttons are still both selected.

I then looked down at the CPU and both the green power light and the yellowish reset light were on. I don't know if power cut off during the day or not because my monitor light was flashing and my router lights were on. I plugged in my modem into a different outlet and it came on. I pushed the power button to power down the unit. After waiting about 30 seconds, I powered the unit back up. Things were going good, then I came up the screen that said Windows experienced a problem starting which could be caused by a new configuration... and if the power had gone out of if you didn't know what happened to choose Starts Windows Normally. I selected Safe Mode first, it went through and came directly back to this screen.

Desktop ICONS always disappear when first user is selected, Computer motherboard is ASUS M3A78PRO/w AMD Phenon Quad Core 9500 CPU with 4GB Memory. OS is XP Pro. I am utilizing the on-board graphics card only. When I initially built and installed the XP-Pro Operating System, the system installed and worked perfect. After approximately six (6) months of use, and while attempting to utilize IE 8, the pop-up screens would only display in white, without any information. After working on the IE 8 problem for a week, I finally decided to scrubbed the hard drive with zeros an accomplished a clean install. Same problem appeared again. I accomplished a Mem-Test on the memory without any problems.

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust got a new computer with Gigabyte GA-K8SNC-939 Motherboard. The problem is that on each boot , and shutdown, the floppy drive is accessed (i.e. motor runs ).The floppy drive is NOT selected as a boot option in the bios and the access on boot comes just after the 'Loading Personal Settings" screen. On shutdown it is just before the end , not immediately on shutdown.I seem to remember there was a Floppy Seek setting somewhere in Windows at one time, but I can't seem to find it in XP SP 2. As it happens well into the boot cycle, I don't think it's related to the motherboard.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI definitley have some sort of virus on my computer and all sorts of pop ups keep coming up on my computer encouraging me to buy a program. I can't get to any other websites besides the one for this program as an alert pops up on the browser sayng my computer is infected. Also everytime I try to open a file a "Windows Security Alert" pops up and says that whatever file I sm trying to open is infected. This is a probloem because I have tried opening task manager, system configuration, and even using the run function wiuth different commands and nothing will open! I also tried downloaging Ad-aware on my external harddrive and then running it from there but it won't open either!
