Reformated - Reloaded Home Small?
May 27, 2006
After two weeks of fighting, I finally got our lap top to reformat and Reload XP Home. I have followed the steps on re-installiing XP that was posted several times, my problem is it has been "stuck" on the wallpaper screen, with the bottom task bar loaded and the recycle bin icon present. The light indicating the drive is busy has stayed on and I can hear the disk moving. Does it normally take an hour and half to get this far after pressing the " finish" button on the install?

I have read all the posts I could find here about going to Win 7.So I know I need to have a clean install done.Will be taking comp to comp store,learned the hard way to stop doing things when I'm not sure what I am doing.My question is,since Win 7 will be 64 bit,can I install 4GB of ram instead of the 2GB that XP only supports, mobo says only use 2 GB,a GB in each slot but I'm hoping that is because of XP, the mobo is 64 bit capable, in that it supports both 32 bit and 64 bit.And should I get a new small HDD to have the XP moved to,or can all the files and folders from XP be transferred to Win 7?

submits their ideas and suggestions about this problem i'm having. Well here goes. I just recently reloaded my computer with windows xp and now everytime i put a disk "just about any disk" into my cd-rom my monitor will go blank. It acts "the monitor that is" like it gets unplugged from the computer. The pc is still running.

This is an IBM think center with XP Pro. Symptons are random shutdowns and restarts, and constant freezeups. I checked the power supply and it smelled like it was burnt so I changed it. I replaced the HD with a new 40 gig Hard Disk and when I went to load OS it got as far as "checking system configuration and then it freezes. I cant format or reload OS.

I reformatted my hard drive due to OS issues, I was running a trial version of Server 2003 along with XP Pro, and I had to get rid of Server 2003 because it was conflicting with XP Pro, and so the only way to do that was by reformatting both hard drives including XP Pro because Server 2003 was acting as the dominant OS, so I backed up all my ****, and reinstalled XP Pro, but now I get this hard drive problem that it says only 51 Gigs are remaining on a 250GB Hard drive, when the only thing installed on that hard drive is XP pro and maybe 15 applications, I tried using every program I can think of to find hidden files that equal a huge size but nothing shows up

One day, not sure how, I pushed some key while on a credit card website and all of a sudden the font became very small (like half the size of this) !! It affected every site I go to. I don't really know how to explain it, but I can't read most websites anymore including this one.

I need to download powerpoint, not the full version, a disk from school that I need to look at. I asked before, got a small version trial, don't remember that opened it. When I installed the new hard drive, forgot about powerpoint. Now I need it for a picture sent to me. It only took a minute or less to download the version of powerpoint

When I click on a link which asks me to send an email, a small screen comes up headed New Messages. The From and To fields are already filled in correctly when it appears but when I type my message/request/whatever, along comes another screen headed Dial Up Connection and then Connect btinternet.com (my ISV.) My name again is correctly filled in with a space saying if I want to change this password what password? to enter it in space provided.
I have tried every known password which I have ever used and when I press to connect, another little screen pops up telling me that it is 'unable to establish connection.' how to get around this? I end up copying and pasting the original link into my btYahoo mail box and sending it that way. A tad long winded

The ability to drag any small window with all the contents. Not just the outline of the window. I have tried again and again to get it to stay on and checked, all to no avail. I don't understand why. At the desk top I right click anywhere to get to very small window with (properties) at the very bottom. I then click on Properties and get (Appearance). Next I click on appearance tab to get to the window that has the (Effects) button. Next, I click on the effects tab and look to see if the little bitty square next to (Show Window Contents While Dragging) is checked. And it is never checked. So I check it to get the effect of dragging the contents with the window as I move it around the screen.

When a subsidary window pops up in various programs they are too small, and i can't view the entire box.On the left side and in the bottom of the window there are several boxes that i can't view the entire content of. sometimes, depending on the program, i'm able to "fix" the problem by resizing the box, but other times the boxes are not resizeable. It's getting to be really frustrating.

I am using XP and would like to know how to make My Computer, My Documents, Recycle Bin and Control Panel open in full screen as all other items do. It really annoys me that they open in a small screen meaning I have to maximise them every time I open them.

Just a few days ago when I browse the internet, the text of the websites I visit has become smaller than usual. Small to the point of having a hard time reading them. I have not changed any settings nor has anyone else used it between the time it was normal and when it starting doing this.

Does anyone know how i can set internet explorer so that every time i run it the text size is default "larger"? it always comes up medium on my laptop, and that's too small. i always go to "view", "text size" and change it to "larger", but the next time i boot up, it defaults back to "medium". I want it to always stay on "larger".

I noticed that certain features of my PC would suffer from very small fonts to the point of being unreadable.I don't know what caused this. An example of the issue is when I go to Administrative Tools/Services, when I highlight a service in the list,the corresponding Service description shows with very small fonts Other areas of Windows also suffer from this
