Probably a simple question. I just deleted some files, and programs, and now when I read a page on the net, it doesnt scroll smoothly, rather is wavy(if that makes sense) did I turn something off that allows smooth scrolling?
my laptop, just reformatted it, it runs windws xp, now when i am on the internet and i scroll down the page, my sceen is as if its rippling instead of just smoothly moving down.
I seem to be having trouble with my Motoracer I game since installing it on a P.C running Win XP. It's in a constant state of "High speed", everything goes so fast that it's impossible to control.I have not installed any patches or the like.
I have an HP 3GB Pentium 4 computer. WMP has a lot of static watching AVI movies. It plays music and Quick Time Movies just fine. I thought it might have been a speaker problem since the volume is very low on one speaker. Switched speakers and the one with more volume moved to the other side. I may have a speaker problem, have to burrow a pair from a friend. However I played the same AVI movies but used Real Player and DIVX Player and they played with no static. Since WMP will play mov or quick time and mp3 files but not avi without static it has me confused. I may need new speakers but I'm guessing it won't solve my real problem.
When I open a folder in My Documents, the contents usually appear in a smaller-sized window and the items in the folder are shown in "Tile" view.What I would like to happen all the time when I open a folder in My Documents is for the contents to appear in a "full-screen"-sized window, and the items in the folder to be shown in "Details" view.In order that I do not have to continually change the window "size" and the "View" every time I open a folder, I was wondering if there was a way for me to set my computer so that my preference is permanent.
Recently when i put on my canoscan gear to be able to scan some photos in ever since then my computer would not let me open any of my pictures or even view them as thumbnails with my windows picture and fax viewer, it lets me look at the BMP files in paint but it won't let me look at the JPG files in paint for some reason. Becuase my windows picture and fax viewer wasn't working i tried to suss out why and it said error loading C:WINDOWSSystem32shimgvw.dll, so from then i thought i just needed to get that shimgvw.dll file back in system32.
I am having trouble viewing JPG and GIF files on a particular web site(Expedia). I looked on the page for any description of possible issue with pictures and nothing. It does not make any sense why just these file extensions are not working on this site.
I have a problem with viewing images on some websites.I have a Dell Dimension 4600 Series computer, I use Windows XP, IE browser, and I have Norton Systemworks premier 2005 Antivirus program on my computer. I also have spywareblaster from javacool site and a popup blocker.The main type of websites I have trouble viewing are websites with e-cards. I can view the e-cards but when I click on them to view to send..I get the tiny box with the red x in it.One in particular is the Hallmark.com site..I only get a blank background with the box & red x on the main page. If I go down to the e-cards and click on it.I can see the e-cards but again, when I click on one to send, nothing but the blank with the box & red x.Also I have tried to download the Macromedia Flash Player. I click on the download box, the next page that comes up, there is nothing to click on, only a box with the red x. That is as far as I can get.
I like to think I know my way around a pc but XP has humbled me.By humbled I mean been driven INSANE. I have 2 big problems that I just can't seem to figure out how to fix/why it happens and one little problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. If you need screenshots, blood, whatever, let me know and I'll give it if it gets me down the path to fixing these maddening problems.
I am using XP sp3 on an Intel P4, having MS corded mouse, was also using Logitech optical mouse. When I open any web page and when I start to scroll down or up, computer reboots.
My laptop (Toshiba) used to have a feature where if you clicked on the right side of mousepad, you could drag the page up and down, similar to the scroll wheel on mouses if you click them down.Anyways, a few months ago, I upgraded my computer to Windows Vista. And I hated it. So I used my restore disk, to get back to Windows XP. Well, when I went back, this feature wasn't working. Today I used an IBM computer, and it had this feature, and it reminded me of how often I used to use it.So my question is if there is any way to re-program this feature? My laptop also used to have a feature that if you held your finger on a corner of the mousedpad, it would open up a different menu, depending on how you configured it. That feature doesn't work either. I don't care if I get that feature back, I'm just assuming the two issues are linked.
Dell620D :Every time ,when I'm connecting a projector (or an external LCD Screen) to my laptop, the following are happening: 1. When I'm opening any doc file (Word 2007) or PPT file, the file appears with the maximum zoom (400%), without the ability to change back the zoom to 100%.Also, I can't scroll the file up or down ! 2. The resolution of the projector's screen and the laptop's screen is changing (Once I'm click on "Fun F8"), so I can see it all as a 200% Zoom.Refer to the expert's diagnostic: Once I'm replacing my HardDisk by another one, the phenomenon is disappear, which mean, we have to format the HD & re-install the XP.
I have three machines with different versions Windows (95, 98SE, and XP HE) all behind a hub, a switch, and a firewall. A few programs on my 98SE won't run on my XP. That means a trip down three floor levels (short levels of 6 -8 steps but I'm gettin' old).I ran across a piece of software that looks like it may be the answer I am concerned about downloading something from the net and later finding that it has tentacles that stretch beyond my little home network and now feed data outside my system. Q1) Will this particular product allow my XP to use programs on my 98SE as though I were sitting at the 98SE? Q2) Is there an increased security risk if this software were installed and used?
the scroll bars on my computer work fine, and they move fast, however, when I use my internet scroll bars, the page moves EXTREMELY slow. How can I fix this?
I was wondering if there are any easy solutions with my problem. Everytime I attempt to view my photos in "My pictures" an error pops up and the file closes. This also happens when I try to save photos from the internet. For example: If i went on google and searched images and try to save one internet explorer closes automatically. Additional information: I have 111 GB with 93GB free, I have over 600 image files in "my pictures" and this problem started to occur once I purchased a Sony Cyber-Shot camera and installed their software: Cyber-shot viewer.If anyone has any solutions it would be very appreaicated. I do not want to lose the pictures I have saved.

When i click on Firefox, my default browser, the home page doesn`t show, i just get a blank page, but if i click Firefox again the home page comes up. (attachment). This happens after i have been viewing websites. .
I clicked on a movie which I have saved and watched before and is supposed to play in iTunes, after I clicked on the movie to watch it my task bar at the bottm of the screen went black... the start menu wouldn't come up, and the scroll bar thing on my touchpad stopped working. So I rebooted, by using ctrl alt del then selecting shut down, then turn off.

There is no sound driver, what can I do to correct this If I'm on the internet and scrolling down either with roller or dragging it down, it doesn't go smoothly. I am coming from Ubuntu, a friend put xp on here. I would also like to know if dual-booting would be easy to do.
Outlook Express is having trouble viewing any type of images. when he goes to send a mail, adds attachment and then tries to click on the image to view it. it comes up with this message. "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've gone through all Outlook Express Settings and there's no restrictions anyway.. no firewall blocks. it's just a problem with windows being able to access the windows/fax view path or something.

As the tittle states whenever i restart my computer it changes all the file tiles of when you view folders into thumbnails. I want them all to be into Tile view format or atleast MOST of them. I already tried ticking "saving specific folder settings" in the options but it still resets it to thumbnails after i re-start my computer.
