View 1 Replies View RelatedI really liked but can't seem to find the same for Firefox which is what I mostly use. In IE, under explorer bars, you have the option of yahoo messenger. So, it slaps your messenger window as the lefthand side like a bookmark or history eplorer bar. Problem is this: I can't find the same thing for Firefox.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been facing a lot of problems,
a) my yahoo messenger is not working properly, (i cannot see the text messages send and received, the other person can)..the chat window is empty...even though i can make and receive pc-pc calls.
b) my windows media player doesnt open. no error is shown but it simply doesnt open... when ever i try to watch something online, which uses media player buffering, it shows "cannot create direct show player"...
another error that pops up is "fail to load control from wmp.dll"
c) Limewire used to work fine and suddenly it stopped working.
d) my internet explorer doesnt display the "download" buttons on websites. shows some javascript void error something in the status bar below.
I tried formatting my system and re-installed everything, it was working fine for few days and then again it went back to the previous state. I have installed Norton 360, and Avast nothing detects any virus...i've installed the latest ver of java..I am using a lenovo laptop with WinXP SP2 (2002 Ver), Intel Centrino duo 1.7 ghz, 1gb ram. Please help me guys, my comp is really really annoying!
I'm sure if you've used Yahoo! Messenger you've noticed the adverts built in to the chat and webcam services. Here's a simple fix and it works great. Simply download http://www.freddys-utilities.co.uk/noads.exe & http://www.freddys-utilities.co.uk/noads.jpg and save them to a directory. Run the noads.exe file and then start up Yahoo! Don't delete the files after you save them or it'll stop working. Don't worry about the .exe extension, it just points Yahoo to that tiny noads.jpg and replaces the ads with it.

It says Incorrect command line parameters.Windows installer. V 2.00.2600.110 Portions of this software are based in part on the work of the independent jpeg group.
I am wondering if there is a way in windows nt to hide the systray icons. Or hide the Yahoo Messenger systray icon. I would donate if someone provided the resolution for my question.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI can delay the running of some startup items? As an example, MSN messenger runs and attempts to log in before my internet connection is active and therefore returns an error everytime I turn on my PC.I would have thought that theres a switch I could add after the shortcut command.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with user accounts. I basically was given the newly built personal computer with an administrator account so I thought I would create another however it forced me to create another administrator account.Now at the or start up screen my own administrator account doesn't seem to be there and only the new admin account I created is there. I have to login in as that admin then change fast switching to off and log-on as administrator.It will not allow me to delete the admin account I created. Is there anyway I can somehow disable it under the administrator account that I use?Under user accounts from control panel It will not give me an option to delete it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP on a HP Pavilion ze2000.I think I have a problem with Windows Live Messenger. Actually, I think I have several problems:
1. Messenger tries to load in my tray when I start the computer. It never did this before. It also does the same when I connect to my broadband via dialler. At the moment I am denying access through Zone Alarm. Is this normal?
2. In All Programmes I have a Windows Messenger Icon and a Windows Live Messenger Icon. Again, is this normal? There is only an option to remove Live Messenger in Add or Remove Programmes.
3. There is a "1 contact pending" message above the contact list in my Live Messenger, which leads to a "page not available" message when I click on it.
3. When I close Live Messenger, I get multiple "RPC Server Not Available" warnings which I keep closing but keep reappearing. They appear too fast for me to close them, so I have to restart my machine.
My desktop started acting strangely so I closed down programs and did a reboot which took a lot longer than normal - and later found out that my disk was full. During all of this, Windows somehow forgot where the administrator account was and created a new one that has no access. Can't open any programs, can't open Control Panel or IE. The folders for my old Administrator account are still on a second hard drive where they've always been, but Windows created a newly named Administrator account on my C: drive. I've tried the CTL ALT DEL twice trick to log in as administrator and still have the same situation. No programs work, control panel doesn't work. All give same error message, either it can't find the path or I don't have priv to access. "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."I've fixed the full C: drive issue since I can still access Windows Explorer, but can't seem to get my old Administrator account back. I can't delete the user since I can't get into Control Panel. I've started in safe mode and still have same issue.

I figure if the rights can be taken away, they surely can be given back.
