I'm trying to copy a partition of my hard drive over to an external drive so that I can format that drive and delete the partition.
I've run into a file that I cannot copy, move, rename, The file originally had the character in it, but I think sometime in one of the transfers of the file, it lost the character and it got replaced with an upside-down "T". This file was saved in different versions under the same name in two different folders and the same errors have occurred with both"
"Cannot copy file: Cannot read from the source file or disk" and in DOS:"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
I'm using Windows XP, SP2 I can handle inserting special characters from the Character Map up to #256 using Alt + Keypad.I can't handle Unicode Characters above 256.The specific character I need is Greek Lambda [lower].The unicode is 03BB. 1) Help me extract this character into eMail, or 2) Help me learn how to extract ANY characte expressed in Unicode.
To rename a group of files or folders in WinXP, open the explorer folder that contains the files and do the following: (be careful not to include any critical windows system files or folders when applying this technique. back up with system restore first if you're not sure. also, it only makes sense to apply it to files of the same type.) 1. Highlight the files and/or folders to be renamed (remember to hold down the CTRL key to select non-adjacent files); or hold CTRL-A to select all the files and folders in a given folder 2. Let the mouse hover over the file that you wish to be the first in the series
Why do people spend $200-$600 on a single piece of hardware (such as a graphics card, processor, or monitor), spend upward of 1 to 4 thousand for the entire hardware collection, and then pirate a copy of Windows XP Home that only costs like $100 for an OEM version if you don't even feel like shopping around for a good deal on it?I don't get it!What good is all of that hardware without any software to run it?And why to people whine about how bad Windows is, but then pirate it instead of running Linux? I mean if M$ software is so awful, then why use their software?
Messed up my pc big time. OS is Windows XP Professional. I was cleaning up the pc removing some software. When I rebooted, all the text on the OS shows up in unprintable characters. Text below icons, text in start menu, text on explorer, just about everything. Am using another pc to post this.Here are some screen shots (hope they show up):http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8853/badscreen1yl7.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9126/badscreen2fp3.jpg
I have been using an XP machine for 3 years now. I have always used the character map to use special characters such as the squared symbol in almost every application that accepts input, i.e, notepad, wordpad, OutLook Xpress and many others. Up until about a week ago, I have not been able to key in the ubiquitous alt+0178 to get the character I want. It comes out as another character or just a bunch of dots. I have not; to he best of my knowledge, changend anything, ans also it is my production machine, so there are no others or kids on it at all. However, I am able to open character map and selcet, copy and paste it into my document. Way too many steps obviously.
I am hoping someone can help! I did some disk cleanup and in add/remove programs, I deleted programs that, according to add/remove, had not been used in a few years and were taking up space. I did this b/c my PC was running super slow. (if anyone has advice for this ailment I will welcome all responses)Anyway, I inadvertently deleted my calculator, character map and iexplore.exe. I found a free download for calculator, but the other two apps I am at a loss for. I have searched for the files and looked under "all programs" and cannot find either one.
Does anyone know if there is a character limit for the HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystemLegalNoticeText value.We have a very long legal notice that is being truncated. The messagedoes include commas.
When I start the computer, I get a screen freeze and have to press Ctrl,Alt,Del once before any programs will startup. A lot of probs with internet connection and slowness while surfing as well as a lot of pop up ads in my face.
There are system boxes coming up with registry and dll errors and the whole system seems SLOW.
I understand if you go to start-all programs-accessories-system tools there is suppose to be something there called a character map so you can use different symbols. In my system tools on windows xp I have nothing called character map.
The family computer is playing up and to the best of my knowledge the computer in question just simply suddenly stopped working as it should. I am unable to get the 'default' welcome screen upon start up and am getting the logon box where you type in a username and passworld. I know how to get rid of this, user accounts>enable welcome screen - but it will not solve the problem.This is just the start of the problems. I get a whole host of errors which popup one after another.
For some reason winxp is suddenly displaying every thing upside down.when he restarts his computer everything seems fine until the desk top appears. he suspects his children my have changed settings but he can't find what they might be.
How does one go about creating a "space (punctuation)" character using an Alt and/or Unicode to be show on all adobe flash player related products & in general for Windows OS?
My girlfriend's been having problems with her computer, a problem I know I'd encountered once in the past, but cannot recall how to remedy it now. Character map is required to enter text, the keyboard is non-functional, and the computer beeps constantly, though nothing is pressing on any key to cause this to happen. No new programs or hardware has been installed, and device conflicts have been checked for and are non-present. She has unplugged the keyboard and rebooted, but upon reboot it registers as there and no problems are seen.
everything on the desktop is turned upside down, but it seems to be operating in the same manner. The mouse cursor moves in the opposite direction to which I direct it. My laptop is an Acer TravelMate 254LC_DT.
I don't know what I did, but my screen is flipped upside down. So if I were to turn my monitor 180 degrees flip it so that the top becomes the bottom everything looks normal.
I had to reboot my computer because it froze up and when it rebooted windows 2000 is upside down, everything is upside down! Even the mouse movement is upside down.
On my son's computer, the monitor image is upside down.Even the mouse points toward the bottom of the screen.The graphics are fine, GUI works fine but it's UPSIDE DOWN.
I am being shown "script error","page error, you may need to change browser settings",and "behind firewall" when I try and send files and photos. I've tried everything I know to fix this, but I still see these errors and still cannot send photos while I'm online.
A computer in their room,its an IBM with windows xp,Somehow they have rotated desktop 180 degrees and its upside down and I dont know how to return it to normal.Im fairly certain its the desktop because the monitor menu is the right way
