I have a video app that plays video compositions that I have created, it also sends an audio signal out to my audio mixing app which I use to score my video comps and mix their audio, however running both apps at once causes a problem, as soon as I interact with my audio app, the focus switches away from my video app and playback stops It's very important to me that I can run and work with both of these apps simultaneously and I'm trying to find ways to do this, I have 8 gig of ram, a fast duel core processor and XP64, what are my options? Can I somehow force both apps to remain in front and not to switch focus? Would running two operating systems at once on the same pc allow the two apps to be interacted with, without interfering with each other? Are there any other options open to me, perhaps using "Virtual machines" on my PC?
I recently had a CD burner installed in this current computer, the associated software is Nero Express and works very well. I was told that I could upgrade my Nero 5 software, which is on another computer CD burner. I un-installed Nero 5 and upgraded to Nero Express and got all sorts of problems, example - all the desktop icons disappeared and I could only get programmes from the taskbar. So I un-installed Nero Express and re-installed Nero 5. This resulted in Windows 2000 Pro. re-booting itself continually. Up to the present time no-one has been able to provide me with a solution. Office 2000 Pro. is my choice for emails and all office work. Other programmes that I used were Spybot S.& D., Microsoft Anti-spyware Beta and A.V.G. Contacting the Nero site has proved to be an exercise in futility, so here I am asking for help. The start-up process works alright as far as 'Setting up Network Connections' and then re-boots.
I have a minor problem in that fairly frequently my system will freeze when I close a window by clicking on the top right "X", although it seems to close normally when using the "Edit-Close" function. On freezing, Taskmanager indicates that "explorer.exe" is running 100% CPU resource, and can only be closed by rebooting via reset button.The only thing of any possible concern I've noticed is that there are 11 apps sharing IRQ7, while my laptop with the same OS and a similar set of applications does not even use IRQ7, and has no more than 2 apps on two IRQs.There may be no correlation between the freeze problem and the IRQ setup, but it makes me uneasy.
Hi my Computer has 256MB RAM 1.8P4 It was running all good but suddenly it has started to run VERY SLOW I have Win2000 Double-Clicking anything will take at least a min to open. Its almost impossible to copy paste using Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V The computer hangs a lot and every few minutes an error option called- "Windows System Error The computer has detected an IP conflict with another computer on the network. This may reslult in problems for network services. Contact the system Administrator."
I have recently acquired a Dell Studio 1555 laptop with the above configuration. My OS(and drivers) were partialy instaled by the seller. Now here is the problem. After I installed the network lan and wireless adapter(using the dell official drivers), I noticed that IE doesn't work. As I'm a Firefox person myself I just let it pass, but then I noticed that other things like the Java Runtime online installer, Yahoo messanger online installer, Blizzard downloader, Yahoo messanger itself(I got the full kit downloaded and installed it), don't work. The message is the similar on all of them: check if your firewall or your internet settings do not forbid access to X. Clearly, the firewall is off and the security settings are checked and shouldn't be a problem. So I got back to the internet explorer, thinking that all these are somehow related. I "used diagnostic tool" then "view log".
From what I gathered, he connected a Network Bridge card to his laptop (windows xp) so he could improve his XBox online gaming speed and his computer hasn't been the same.He is unable to go online.Here are some details: he has 2 network bridge icons that he can't delete. He has 2 internet cconnections (apart from his DSL connection which isn't connected) that appear to be connected to who knows what. So that is 3 connections running when he should have just 1.When he tries to connect to the internet, is may show he's connected on the bottom toolbar but the window shows says he is not. Everything runs slow. He cannot open the Network Connections Wizard (whatever it is, i have a mac). When he tries to shut down it takes really long. So basically everything isn't running the way it should.

So i've been using Outlook Express for my Hotmail accounts for a while now but recently I've been using Outlook at work for my work email only and I really enjoy the features of it (the calender, interface, etc). So I tried using Outlook at home and put my two hotmail accounts into it and everytime I try to use it, it freezes. I have two hotmail accounts, one for business and one for just goofy stuff. Are the two accounts conflicting when I try to use Outlook? If so, why doesn't it happen when I use Outlook Express
So I've done some research on the Memory Management BSOD error. It say that it's probably some sort of conflict with a new peice of Hardware...the only thing is I haven't installed any new hardware. I think that it is a problem with a program I installed called Intellisynch that I got from Yahoo so I could synch my Yahoo address book with my Outlook Express Address Book. Now whenever I I start Outlook Express, I get the BSOD, I've uninstalled Intellisynch but I'm still getting the BSOD's when I start Outlook Express. Here's the BSOD info and the info from "Hijack this" that I ran:
Im getting an intermittant error which brings up a dos window states
Description:
Application popup: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem : C:PROGRA~1AOL9~1.0waol.exe C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application
I keep getting the following pop-up error message: "window-system error- there is an IP address conflict with another system on the network". I don't really understand it, but I guess I should do something about it. Can anybody give me an idea? I saw in another, similar yet unresolved posting that the experts requested IP Config details. I was about to post those here, but am not very knowledgable about security. Before posting such data in a forum, is there anything that I should exclude in order to avoid the meddlesome entry of reprobates?
Mine is a Dell laptop. I have Windows XP Media Center OS installed on my system. The other day it needed to install some windows files and asked to put the OS CD, I put in my Windows XP CD by mistake. It authenticated and installed the OS partially.Now I have two OS on my system. And the Win XP is not correctly installed. I want to un-install the Win XP and delete the files in the system and keep the original installation of Win XP Media Center.
My Windows XP and iTunes seem to conflict with each other. My purchased songs stick or studder sometimes when I play them and visit websites at the same time.
While working on my wireless on my laptop and logged onto our wireless signal, my pc advised me that it had picked up a second ip address that now conflicts with another item running on my network. Why would there be a second IP address? What does this mean? What do I do about it? I am running XP home, Zone Alarm in stealth mode and my router is a linksys. Not sure what other information I would need to provide. I click on the message in hopes that it would provide more info, but it just dissappeared. There doesn't seem any change in my computer as far as I can see.
When I run my Adware my AV pops up and says I have this Java.Shinwow.BA virus. It doesnt give me any way to clean it out so i'm wondering if this isn't some sort of spyware rather than an actual virus. Can somebody tell me how to delete this from my PC?
using windows xp. and linksys router. am getting "windows - system error. there is an ip address conflict with another system on the network". how do i correct problem.
Are pricey add-ons like Win DVD7 Platinum or Power DVD 7 significantlty better than the HP DVD Player or Media Center. This is a new HP Media Center PC with DVI and Digital Audio. The display is a 30" hi-def monitor/TV combo and the audio runs through a 1000 watt Pioneer Home Theatre.
Recently, all of my applications which need some kind of Internet survice have just altogether stopped working. The router I have works perfectly fine and has been since I got it in November. It's just that every time I click on Mozilla, AIM, AIM Triton, or even Internet Expolorer nothing happens. I have tried right clicking too. Everything else on the computer works EXCEPT for those applications. I checked and the router is secured and working.
I have a dell Inspiron 6000. I cannot get audio or video to work on sites that use pop-ups for them. For example, I cannot use most online radio streams or access video clips on cnn's website. This occurs with both Firefox and IE. The pop ups do appear but there is no video/audio.
To find a windows explorer error message. When I click close on the error, the same error pops back up. I finally got the error message to stop on startup and the computer worked fine but now when I access any windows based programs, windows explorer, my computer, control panel, IE 7, my computer puts the error message back up. When i click "close" windows explorer does not go away, the error message just does but it still prohibits my access to these programs (which really really annoys me).
I can't seem to get much information on wacko.gif Just built a new rig that is running XP x64 with latest drivers and updates, specs are below. Installed my otf's (openType fonts) and have tried 2 different type managers (Extensis Suitcase and FontAgent Pro 4) to get my fonts to activate and they are not activating.
This lead me to check the windows font folder and I noticed that any OTF in the folder was not showing up in my applications (photoshop etc). So I double click on the fonts and I am getting a "the requested file /path to font/ was not a valid font file" message. I installed the fonts directly from my cd so I know the fonts are valid.
EXTREMELY ANNOYING problem I'm encountering... I'll turn on my PC and 1/3 times nothing will launch. What I mean is, I'll click on a shortcut and the little cursor will display the thinking symbol as if it's aunching, my HD (or cpu?) will click, then nothing. Nothing happens. Every single application is like this, including a Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I can't even launch task manager, or My Computer... NOTHING. Everything that is open currently works fine though, I can browse places in firefox, change songs in winamp etc. I just can't launch new applications or shutdown my computer. I'll go to start -> turn off computer -> shut down, and nothing happens. I have to manually force restart my PC everytime this happens and it's really getting bothersome. I don't know what to do guys or what could be causing this, I really don't want to format
On my work PC running XP SP2 when I do a Shut Down or Restart on about a dozen apps I need to Click the End Now button. I have a second PC at the office on XP SP2 and one at home on XP SP1 and on those I don't even see the window for the apps shutting down. On top of that the system can't take them down itself...I MUST click the "End Now" button.
2 days ago, I used add/remove programs then Norton Removal Tool to remove Norton AV, and replaced it with AVG Free. My PC seemed to work fine until yesterday: upon booting, AVG automatically tried to update and ended up reporting "something bad happened..."; Not sure if AVG issue is relevant but now I CANNOT OPEN FOLDERS or APPS!
Now about 9 times out of 10, when I try to open a file or app, the screen icons and background pic disappear momentarily, and nothing opens. If I manage to open a folder, it seems my PC hangs up similarly at the following task (sometimes I get my RCA Lyra icon suddenly showing up in the toolbar). BTW I experienced the exact same problem a couple of times before the AVG install but rebooting would always fix the issue. Not anymore! It took many reboots but I was able to get AdAware to run - found nothing - and Maintenance Mechanic 6 - showed PC Repair is needed but hangs once it gets to reading the disk index. I tried deleting Lyra, but it won't let me (hangs once I manage to open the add/remove program page).
I just finished a re-installation of windows on a fairly old computer. got windows installed through the original windows cd, but i have lost the drivers and applications cd. I cant do anything without any drivers. cant even hardwire to the router to d/l drivers.....any help??? anyone know where I can get a copy of the drivers/app cd? Its a gateway, so old, they dont really care enough to help.......any help would be much appreciated.
I built a new computur and now that its up and running I'd like to get some of the apps from my old computer on to the new computer. Trouble is some of the install disks have been lost/misplaced since the old computer was 6 years old. I saw with XP you can transfer the contents of an old HD to a XP setup but it seems to suggest that you do this while you are installing XP not afterwards. Is it possible to transfer these applications to the new computer?
Does anyone know of a list of best practices or third party tool(s) for safely installing and completely uninstalling applications in Windows XP? I want to be able to install applications into Windows XP so that if the app were to corrupt my Windows installation, I can remove it completely and restore my Windows XP back to a ?good? state. I've installed hundreds, maybe thousands of apps on Windows XP platforms. I've tried all sorts of methods for installing apps. These methods include:
? Running Windows in a ?clean boot? configuration: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 ? Creating a system restore before each installation ? Using tools that monitor installs and supposedly provide a way to uninstall apps like Advanced Uninstaller Pro: http://www.innovative-sol.com/uninstaller/index.htm? Etc., etc............
setup the new 19' LCD, re-staged XP on the desktop machine. Setup a nice wide screen desktop, remember selecting something in the CP about don't show the icon's and the rest is history. Menu wise all is fine, window apps work fine, ex. start -> run -> notepad, yet a start -> run -> will show the black window open, then disappear. Same with taskmgr, if you do 2ce, you get the taskmgr is already running yet you don't see it, nothing near the time, <ctrl>-<alt>-<del> shows nothing. I can however do a start -> run -> edit <enter> and get the edit screen. Somewhere there must be a setting to just say, desktop, stay behind! Even created a new user, logged in as that new user (default desktop, etc.) with the same results.
Is there a way to make applications start with a higher then usual priority automatically? I routinely run video encoding in the background which will eat up both the cores on my Opty 170. As expected, this makes certain things sluggish to use. But, I wanna make it so the applications that I actively use (Firefox, MSN, and AIM) have an above normal priority.
I am having display problems with two applications under winows XP. The control software that comes with my Asus MB called AIsuite and also the Nvidia GPU monitoring program. Both use those fixed graphical interfaces (ie not windows standard) a bit like winamp etc. Both show very messed up interfaces on my system with icons in wrong places, text running off edge of GUI etc. I was suspicious it was to do with my windows font settings so removed cleartype and insured size was set to normal. However, the glitches still show up.
