Just recently, all my outgoing faxs fails ~ they just stay pending in the outbox !! My modem is ok ~ able to receive fax and connect to the Internet. "Apa tak kena?" (In Malay, that means 'what is wrong?')
I had been using winFax pro to but uninstalled it when this problem arose. Now I am using the generic fax program with win xp sp2. Whenever I load a fax to send, it sits in the outbox "pending" forever... Before winFax it worked fine. Have uninstalled and reinstalled fax printer - nothing seems to help.
I have just re-installed Windows XP Professional SP2 to a blank hard drive.I have re-installed Fax console. I would like to import the sent faxes, the received faxes, and the fax address book from the old drive (which is still perfectly workable). In what subdirectory are these items to be found? What are their filenames (or what is the template for the filenames)?
My intellimouse works correctly for awhile then double click fails. When this occurs the mouse control panel fails to open. Shutting down and restart corrects the problem-but only for awhile and then the same thing happens over again. I reloaded software to no avail. any help?
i have a HP Pavilion laptop [dv5117ci] with factory load XP Pro SP2and factory restore discs. the system became corrupted by a failed Win update. it had multiple files showing bad, so rather than chase them one at a time for an unknowable number of days, I decided to create a new directory and install fresh copy of WinXP Pro That looked like it was going to work but after being up on the initial boot, wobbly, for about 45 minutes, something caused a freeze, and I was toasted after that. Same routine again: bootup, get error "Windows failed to start because the following file is missing or corrupt"
When I try to run Defrag I get a message that a pending CHKDSK must be run at startup (I did not request a CHKDSK, apparently XP did it).When I startup a message flashes up saying "Can not open volume for direct access". The XP startup then continues but leaves the pending CHKDSK active so I can not Defrag.
The Windows XP update message displays Updates are ready for your computer. Click here to install these updates. It is Internet Explorer 8. I do not want to install it. But, the message displays in the system tray every time when I open the computer. How shall I remove the pending updates and block downloading the IE8 without affecting the other Windows XP security updates downloading
I am having problem when trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition. When I start the installation I get the message below: "A previous installation created pending file operation on the installation machine. You must restart the computer before running setup" Even if I restart the machine the message keep coming up, and I am not able to install the SQL server.

When I hibernate my laptop, it goes into hibernation and the in a couple of minutes, comes back out of it on it's own.I recently installed System Mechanic and, at its suggestion, updated to Win SP 3. Thinking SP 3 updates might have caused the problem I uninstalled it - no difference. Does anyone know a solution to this problem and/or what causes it? Until recently it all worked as it's supposed to.
I've got this problem. It's a little problem, but quite annoying. It's only present on one of my 3 PC's. The problem exists on a new Toshiba laptop that I recently bought.It's XP home, and I put SP2 on it. Here's a description of the problem: Let's say that I've got an IE website open, and I want to delete a file. I right click on the file, and then click delete, and everything's fine. I get the little window that says "do you want to delete this file", and, as I move my pointer to click OK, as soon as the pointer gets into the desktop area, the delete window disappears. In order to keep it "on top", I've gotta close out or minimize the IE window. It's the same no matter what file or folder I open. As soon as the pointer enters the desktop, the file or folder disappears. It won't stay "on top". I've tried to find a way to keep the current file/folder "on top", but haven't found one.
I built my comp four months ago and everything has been running surprisingly well. Now, I have two back up hdds and I they never format for some reason, so I was going to do it with the XP installer disc.. but I couldn't really figure out how to completely format/whipe any of my backup drives so I just cancelled out. Now, I loaded up my main disk and my DISPLAY was all sorts of messed up. So I reinstalled my NvIdia drivers.. they work. BUT EVERY TIME I RESTART it goes back to being all kinds of messed up. And when I say messed up I mean the resolution is terrible and everything is all big and slow.
If you turn off the system windows xp used with the GA-K8NSC-939 motherboard by using start and then shut down, does the mouse and keyboards stay on after the system is Off? I had this problem happen with an Asus motherboard. Checked all of the setting in the bios.
I get the message 'no sound device installed', when I try to play music. when I try to install the 'on board sound device', i get the message.' sound device installed and working properly, would like to uninstall it?(it does not show up in 'device manager'), so I click on yes to uninstall, and then reboot the computer, get the 'new device found' etc. and I install the drivers etc. then everything works. untill I turn off the computer and then there is no sound again. This happens every time I turn off the computer.
This may seem petty but here goes. There is a 'Language bar' toolbar on the taskbar. I can right click on the taskbar>toolbars>and uncheck 'language bar' but every time I restart the machine the language bar is back on the taskbar. Anyone know how to keep this from happening. It's not too big a problem, it just adds clutter to my taskbar that I don't want there.
I am running a dell 4600 computer. I have windows xp home addition. My problem is when i go into exp. it opens and goes to where i tell it to, then is stops, freezes and then an error box comes up saying they have encounter an error and must shut down. It also says that if i continue to have this problem, to restart my computer. Well i have restarted my computer 4 times and the same thing keeps happening. I have run the Adware program i have and have found some bugs there, but it doesn't seem like that is what the problem is.
My icons on my desktop stay permanantly highlighted for some reason. I ran spybot, NAV, Adware, and Pest Patrol and cleaned up a few spyware and adware programs, but nothing seems to help out the icon situation. Here is a picture if you want to see what it looks like- http://pspdownloadguide.com/images/myscreen.gif
I cannot keep mu CD/dvd Rom tray shut. It immediately opens up after closing it. I have a Gateway mid-tower PC. 500 Mhz processor. Has a Toshiba CD/dvd and TDK DVDRW and 640mb ram.
I've searched everywhere I can but maybe I'm searching the wrong name but here is the problem. When in certain programs, particularly Photoshop but there are others, when I click on the Open selection then try and use a drop down menu to navigate to the correct location of the file I'm looking for, the menu just flashes then goes away.
The option in LimeWire PRO is unchecked to startup at system boot but it still starts up. No big deal right? But here is the strange thing. It doesn't come up in msconfig and when I close the program completely, about 2 minutes later it opens back up by itself! I have checked all options and see no reason for this to be happening.
We're on xp sp2. When I check Windows Security Center, it is often disabled. I've enabled it more than once via the procedure listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919291/en-us but eventually (like after logoff/logon or reboot) it's disabled again. I even set Recovery to Restart on Failure and Logon as local system account. Virus is unlikely with Spyware Blaster, SpyBot, NAV 2007, and Ad-Aware SE protecting it.
I have done EVERYTHING to figure out WHY my computer clock will NOT stay chaged since the new DST has taken effect. I have unchecked the auto update, unchecked the internet time, changed the time zone and changed it back, went into BIOS and changed it there, d/l the Windows XP (KB931836), and d/l the latest SP2. It will not stay changed.
whenever i try to open regedit (the registery editor) does not stay open. i need to delete lines from it since i have recently had a virus but it will not stay open for me to do so.
My msconfig, task manager and my device manager do not stay open. I have already copied and renamed my msconfig and my task manager so I can view them but I would like my computer to be back to normal. Below is my hijack log.
Ok so I have this computer.. and I wanted to just kill a few processes running ... but I can't get the task manager up.. so I was going to just take them off the start up list.... but I can't get the MSconfig to say open either.
I installed the new version of Webshots Desktops the "Use Webshots wallpaper on desktop" option button will not stay checked. If I check it and say ok it starts to work, but after shuting down and restarting, it is always unchecked. All the other option buttons stay checked. I'm running Windows Xp Pro with update 2.
