I had Hearts and Spider Sol. on my Dell Laptop when I bought it. I have used them for over 2years but I turned on my laptop last week and they weren't there. The OnLine games are still there but the ones on my computer are gone! (Except pinball which i don't play). Anyone know how I can get these back? I've done a Computer all Files search with no luck.
View 9 RepliesI have windows xp & last night my cursor froze up. I replaced the mouse but that made no difference. I used the keyboard to navigate & did a system restore to 2 days previous. That did nothing. I powered down several times & still no results. I was playing spider solitaire that came with the computer when the cursor froze. This morning when I turned the computer back on the cursor was working again, but when I started playing spider again it froze up after a while. I powered down & got the cursor back, but who knows for how long. Could the spider game be causing this? I'm running my virus scan right now & so far no threats.

i found solutions for it.. but none of them worked.
one of them was to boot the WinXP CD... and go to the recovery console, which i did. However when i typed Boot /list i got this message: "there are currently no boot entries available to display."
I've had this computer working for quite a while, at least a year, and I reinstalled XP a few days ago to rid the computer of spyware, etc. It installed with no errors, and worked fine for a few days after the reinstall. Last night I shut it down, started it back up this morning and it hangs on the Windows XP loading screen, the green bar keeps going through but it never boots. The same thing happens when I boot with the last good configuration that worked. When I boot in safe mode it hangs while it loads the safe mode files, the last one is Mup.exe, Mup.dll, or something that starts with Mup. MemTest86 shows no errors, so I guess its not the memory, and I don't know why anything would just stop working. I didn't install any new hardware, software, or drivers right before I shutdown last night. Here are my computer specs: Asus K8V SE Deluxe Motherboard. Athlon 64 3200+ CPU. 1GB (2 x 512MB) PC3200 Kingston Value RAM (Non-ECC). 250GB SATA Hard Drive (It's either Maxtor or Seagate, if you really need to know which I can check).ATI X800XT Video Card. Windows XP with the SP1 CD, but I downloaded and installed SP2 and it was running fine with SP2 for a few days.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have a Windows 2000 Server (PDC) and a handful of workstations.I've been searching for a reliable, easy-to-use, solution for backing up our data. Most solutions that seem to fit the bill are designed for the large enterprises - something I cannot justify in terms of cost vs ROI.I've tried using Microsoft's backup but it fails every now and then to complete the backup and the logs are empty.Does anyone have suggestions for products to look at that allow me to:
* Schedule a backup of the server's data to a secondary machine on the domain. I'm happy to have workstations push data to the server for backup if required.
* Optionally backup the Operating System drive that would allow for quick recovery in the event of a total hard disk failure. In the past I've had to rebuild the server and then mess around with the workstations due to the accounts becoming invalid (no experience and I didn't know about this forum)
* Our server has RAID 1 - Ghost does not support RAID; I found out the hard way !!
I was looking many replies, but could not find any about this topic, I'm facing the following problem: I would like to have my Disk space (750GB) subdivided to accomplish the following:
1 - Boot Windows XP Prof SP2 x86
2 - Boot Windows XP Prof SP2 x64
3 - Store my Data Folders and Files separately (to do Backups from one place).
4 - Boot to Ubuntu 7.10 and alternatively
5 - Boot to Ubuntu Server
6 - Create System Backups for my Laptop (6.1), old PC (6.2) and for this new PC (6.3).
In 2001 I purchased a Compact Presario with Windows XP Home Edition. I have slow dialup with MSN 9 as my browser and provider.Over the last few months, my PC has developed the following problems. They seem to have gotten worse when I was forced to upgrade from MSN 6 to MSN 9 last August.
1. About 70% of the time after signing in, I get a dialogue box that reads " Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close." I eventually log on after an attempt or two.
2. Pages sometimes freeze for up to 15-20 minutes before a new page finally opens up.
3. About once a week, I get the smaller bubble that reads that I am running low on virtual memory.
4. Pages do not usually close when clicking on the "X" in the left corner.
I recently signed into www.double my speed.com for a scan. The scan detected 837 errors of various sorts.I spent nearly three hours speaking to one of their techs from India who took over my computer ostensibly to diagnose the problem. He eventually determined that the $40 annual "fix it" option would not work because I have " very, very bad things" on my computer that needed my immediate attention. He showed me the page with all my errors, and took me to google which explains them. He said I was a victim of hacking. He took me to a page where I was going to get immediate help. Of course, all this help was going to cost $250 for the package. I hung up and disconnected.I am very un savvy when it comes to computers, but I seriously doubt I need to spend $250 to take care of these problems.I would greatly appreciate the simplest and/or least expensive way to get rid of these problems.I should add that my Norton anti-virus only detects low risk tracking cookies every week, and nothing else.I performed a sweep of these cookies today and got rid of them , but this did not speed things up or eliminate errors.
I have a question about Microsoft Configuration. First off, it's not there. I go to start > run > msconfig and get this: Quote: Windows cannot find Microsoft Configuration. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. I search for it and I find it, but run won't find it.I don't really want to have to put a shortcut to it on the desktop because my friends are idiots.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAt approx. 6:30 pm yesterday, I realized suddenly, my system had become infected with something ... I now once again keep getting those "Only the Best" darn things popping up. (I've been through this before a year ago. it was much worse then had to completely overhaul the entire hard drive)Well, anyhow, what I tried to do this time is simply creat a restore point and revert back to that. Surprisingly, that did not eradicate the presence of this pop-up thing; I'm sure the restore point predates the pop-up reappearance.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI did an AVG Rootkit scan which turned up "c:windows/system32/userinit.exe" as a dodgy file. I removed it and now the machine won't login when I boot the system. With a bit more digging it seems that this file was actually the login information within the registry and as it can't find a valid user/password it just keeps asking me click the user name and login. When I click it just loops back and throws back up the window, asking me to click the user name again.How I can access the registry and reset the userinit.exe file?I've tried selecting "last good configuration" which didn't work.I also tried to download Bart PE on another machine (running Vista) to set up a boot CD, but it wasn't particularly clear how to go about it, so I tried using the XP System Recovery app on the install disks. This got me into a C: prompt.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running XP Pro on a HP laptop right now and it's decent but I was looking for an OS with less bloat and one that left a smaller memory footprint. Win2k seems like the best way to go. I basically use it for browsing, watching movies, music, email and maybe the odd old game of AoC or something like that. I also use it for wireless but that shouldn't be an issue because the client I use supports 2k.What kind of features would I be missing from going backwards?
