View 4 Replies View RelatedSay I have 5 music files in a folder and I select them all to play, ctrl-a, then right click and say play (in either Winamp, or Media Player 10) and what I get is file 5 on top and starting to play and then 1-4 below it. This happens on all my XP Pro computers. I have searched Google news groups and can only find that other people are having a similar problem but I have yet to find a solution.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen inserting a file, usually a picture file or even uploading a picture file onto the internet, a window will pop up and you'll see a list of files to choose from. Here, sometimes the files appear as "Thumbnails" and arranged by "Type" but sometimes they appear as "lists" and sorted by "name." Each time I would have to right click and change "view" and "arrange icon by" to my preference, which is sometimes 'thumbnails and modified,' and sometimes 'type and name,' depending on application. But, as soon as I am finished they would go back to the default view that is either 'thumbnail and type' or 'list and name.' And I have to do it all over again. Is there a way to stop this from happening so that each setting remains unchanged?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI had to put windows 2000 on my moms PC, which is part of a network, and now EVERY computer on the Network sees an "Internet Gateway". WHY???? The only computer that can see shared files is my moms with the windows 2000. theres 3 more computers all running windows xp. how do i fix this? File sharing is now available, but I myself believe the internet is being slowed down. THe Internet gateway that windows XP is picking up is reading 8.0 mbps. My connection has gotten as high as like almost 2, but it should not read that.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen double clicking the actual file, Windows reports "windows cannot find file ... <file name.exe>"
This is only SOME exe's. Particularly, older programs. Word, excel, WordPerfect all work. Older apps don't.
I've tried the exe fixes on dougknox.com site and kelly's corner XP fix.
I have taken a series of pictures on different days and downloaded them into a folder in My Pictures. I need to put them in a sequence so I right clicked each picture and re-named it as follows: 001jpg, 002jpg and so on for 100 pictures. In view, I selected arrange icons by modified and all the pictures moved to the sequence I wanted. All is well and good until I copied the folder to a CD. All the pictures reverted to their original sequence instead of the sequence I put them in.
How can I copy the folder with the pictures in the sequence I put them in? Whenever I open the picture file to look at that folder, they are always in the sequnce I put them in
My folders are not the standard yellow. When I attempt to open any of the folders, I get this message,"Windows cannot find a program to open the file"

View 6 Replies View RelatedTonight I scanned my HDD using CHKDSK /r to rectify any errors which I'm sure are present. When it ended after about 2 hours, the result flashed on the screen SO fast and proceeded to reboot. I can't seem to find the report anywhere in the computer!! Does anyone know the log-file name and how and where to find this report (log file)?
I'm using Windows XP Home (with SP2).
Had to reformat my drive and now whenever i use my win xp sp2 install disc...i first format the drive and create the proper partition..the windows disc then starts copying files to the computer but at a point i get an error message saying that windows setup cannot copy the file...and it tells me which file. I redid this several times and each time at a some point in the copying it gives me this error...each time with a different file name
What should i do at this stage?
where can i download a file that has all of the windows updates in 1 download. i have seen it before. dont remember the website. i want to slipstream my aging xp disk. i am so sick of having to download over 50 updates after i install a fresh copy of XP.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure my question belongs in this venue and trust someone will kindly direct it elsewhere if applicable.When I convert a document to a PDF file, Windows XP Pro automatically tries to open the new PDF file with Miscrosoft Office Picture Manager. Further, when opening a PDF file from Windows Exploder (pun intended) I have to go the extra step of telling Windows to "open with" Acrobat 6.0 or it will automatically try to open with Picture Manager.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was recently given a compaq sr1330nx desktop computer that didn't work. After putting in a different power supply it started right up. It hadn't been used in over a year and I downloaded the 62 high priority updates needed and installed them. The next morning when I started it up it was very slow and unresponsive. I ran the error check utility and defragmented the hard drive. Still very slow and inconsistent. Then is when I probably screwed up and reset the 2 jumpers on the motherboard and went into the bios and checked "reset configuration". Now all I can get is a line of white bars across the bottom of a black screen and the message "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: C:windowssystem32configsystem. You can attemt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup cd-rom. select 'r' at the first screen to start repair."

View 14 Replies View RelatedIt worked fine for a few days, then I got this blue screen that said I have a system error and that I am missing a file or it is corrupt c:windowssystem32configsystem.Now, this was fine because I thought I knew the answer to this problem, which is incidentally the answer to another recent problem posted on this board, it can be found here:URL...I performed the operation, and again, it was all well and good for a few days.Then I got the same problem again. I used the same solution to make a fix.Then it happened again.So, my question is what's the problem? Do I have a hardware problem? I even used two different WinXp install discs to solve this problem on different occasions since I only needed the recovery console and I thought that the original disc might have become damaged or something.

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

Attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the Original CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
So I enter the cd rom and press 'r' for repair, I choose C:windows, however before it can begin to repair it asks me for an 'Administration Password' which I have no idea of after many attempts.
I do not want to have to format the pc since I have some very important files on it. Any help is appreciated.
