Donot Get The Start-up Music
Aug 2, 2010I just updated to Norton Antivirus 2010 todayand now when I start my computer it shuts down immediately, right after the login/password screen.I don't get the start-up music, or anything else.It goes right into the close-down music and shuts down.Can't find any help on Microsoft Website, and I doubt Symantec would help.

Sep 3, 2005A friend has windows XP, which he has been using as an offline thing to just do correspondence etc. He is not internet wise, and has not used internet since his son emigrated to the UK in March.. I was helping him set up internet and outlook express as he has just signed up with a wireless internet connection. We were doing a disk clean up, had eliminated all the games, music and adware files that his son had on the PC and had downloaded AVG (he had no virus protection at all and I insisted before he started using the internet we download some form of protection) and were doing a virus check ( 1900 files, over 200 virused with mainly win32/parite but a lot of trojan horses too!!!)

May 18, 2005I have attached a copy of my HJT. Would really appreciate if it can be run through to see if there is anything that I can disable in my start up. The computer that I am using is being shared and I have become concerned over some stuffs. In Service Pack 2, a firewall is included right? Now there is this Zone Alarm downloaded too a few months ago. Is that a firewall program? There is also a Norton Personal Firewall that comes with the PC I know that the anti virus has expired but this firewall thing is still working right? At times like this, I wished I have more knowledge on computers but lucky me.I have you Guys at Tech Support to enlighten.

Oct 15, 2007I lost the My Music and My Pictures icons on the start menu. I moved My Documents and was prompted to move the current items. I said (stupidly) yes. I noticed I had 2 music and picture folders in My Documents. I deleted the Folders that had been moved when I reloacated. When I went back to the start menu, My Music and My Pictures were gone. I looked in properties, and the two items were selected. I went to the registry and the entries for music and pictures were gone in UserShellFolders and ShellFolders. I recreated the entries. After all of this, there are still no icons for Music and Pictures on the start menu.

Oct 18, 2007I'd like to delete My Pictures and My Music folders within My Documents. Though whenever I do, the My Pictures and My Music icons on the Start Menu will not open.
It's redundancy not to my liking to have My Pictures and My Music folders within My Documents folder, and to have My Pictures and My Music icons on the Start Menu; which lead to the same folders.
Is there a way to delete My Pictures and My Music folders within My Documents folder, while still retaining their Start Menu functionality?

Apr 10, 2003After installing Windows XP and all service packs and applications I am likely to use on it, I find it useful to disable services I am not likely to use on it to a bare minimum using MSCONFIG to stop additional CPU/MEM usage going on in the background. Here is a list of those services that I use, based on the fact that I have a cable broadband connection that is always on, and a Soundblaster Live Value Soundcard Go into Start Menu, Open RUN command, type MSCONFIG Goto SERVICES tab, select DISABLE ALL, APPLY, and check the following services to start with Windows and hit APPLY afterwards DHCP Client - AUTOMATIC Plug and Play - AUTOMATIC Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - AUTOMATIC Windows Audio - AUTOMATIC
There are also a few other services I use but not all the time, these are listed below and I would either put them on MANUAL if I use them sometimes or DISABLE them completely if I didn't use them at all Goto START MENU, PROGRAMS, ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS, SERVICES, and modify the following by right clicking...

Feb 1, 2007I have two accounts created on my computer which is running Windows XP Professional. One is the account I've been using for about 3 years, which contains all my personal information, settings, as well as 30 GB of media that is stored in the 'My Documents' folder.

Switching Order Of Controllers In XP
Sep 10, 2005I had a Thrustmaster Dual Power 4 game pad, and bought a Logitech Rumblepad later. I like the Rumblepad better, and want to consider it my "first string" controller. But if I go into say, Nba Live 2005, and go to choose controllers, no matter what I do, the thrustmaster is on the top of the list, and the logitech is on the bottom. All the old posts talk about choosing Preferred device in the control panel. By running DxDiag, I can see that setting something as the Preferred Device assigns it Controller ID 0. But I also see that the order of the Controllers, as recognized by most games, is the same as the order listed in the game controller control panel, and is completely unrelated to which device is "controller id 0" and "preferred device." For example, I set the logitech as preferred device, and plugged in the thrustmaster and also a gamepad pro.

Feb 12, 2005I have a computer that has windows XP Home. I't has some driver issues etc that cannot be fixed mainly because i do not have the disk that was used to install it. I do on the other hand have a Win2K prof. disk that i would like to install on this comp so that it can be used again. I was wondering if someone might be able to either tell me or point me in the right direction of getting this machine re-installed with the win2k op sys. i.e tutorials etc. I also do not have the bios install disk so the bios will need to remain the way it is.

Alt-Tab Task Switching Malfunctioning
Jan 14, 2008When using Alt-Tab for Task Switching the menu aborts irregularly after an inconsistent amount of time rarely more than a few seconds.To re-state: I hold down Alt and then push Tab once while continuing to hold Alt. The menu comes up to show all current running programs. Then after a moment the menu exits just as if I had pushed the escape key.I have also noted that viewing the alt-text when doing a mouse-over on an image in my web browser is interrupted similarly.I have run my virus checker and Ad-Aware and found nothing. I have also tried closing all programs: no effect. I have also tried ending all non-essential processes through Task Manager: No effectI am running: Windows XP Home on a Dell Inspiron 1501

Dec 1, 2006What a pain. It says that upgrading from windows 2000 to XP home is not supported and when I go to reformat, it doesnt allow me to reformat the "partitioned space". It gives me no other option than to install XP on the same partition as Windows 2000, and then tells me it isn't advisable to do it. Whats up with that, and how do I get rid of 2000 so I can properly install XP home?I've unfortunately got XP partially installed, and when I reboot it will go to the black screen... but then asks do I want to start up with xp or 2000, so I start with 2000 and, well, frankly I am sick of this and just want it to install.If I'm going to screw around with this all the time, trying to keep these dang computers functioning, then I really need to take some classes, sheesh.

Jan 24, 2006My computer keeps switching itself to standby on its own after 20-30 minutes. This is a problem as I do alot of DVD back ups so it ends up stopping the software I use meaning I cant do any back ups whatsoever.
I have checked in my power settings and it is supposed to be set to always on, so have no idea why this is happining.
The computer is pretty much brand new from Dell so maybe it is some factory setting.
