  • 1. cannot copy all files to DVD
    I have about 45000 files that I wanted to copy to DVD. I used nero express but it only managed to copy about 35000 files. Some directory and file names use non-english characters (eg s, g, . Anyone know a way to get around this ? Is it a Nero issue or Win XP issue ?
  • 2. SP2 modem/internet problem
    I've installed SP2. I'm runnihng XP home edition. Everything works except I now have trouble staying on line if the firewall is enabled. With firewall enabled, everything is normal for about 5 minutes. Then the modem (US Robotice faxmodem pro external) fails to respond but stays connected for about one or two minutes more before disconnecting. I then get a error message saying the modem failed to make a connection. If I disable the firewall that comes with SP2, I have no problems staying on line any length of time. I've passed this on to my ISP. He's still scratching his head. Anybody else have this problem?
  • 3. Re-install XP problem
    I'm trying to re-install/correct a problem. I get to the CD and run it. It wants me to hit F8 to accept user agreement. I do but nothing happens. Is there another way to accept the agreement outside of F8 or am I doing something wrong?
  • 4. Windows Update problem after installing XP SP2
    My PC has Windows XP Pro, Norton Internet Security 2004. Yesterday I installed XP SP2 from a CD and everything seemed to be fine. I then went onto Windows Update and selected the new High priority patches for installation. They downloaded fine but installation hung when Windows Update reported it was 'Initializing installation'. I had to Ctrl Alt del and close down the Application. Rebooting followed by a further visit to the Windows Update site identifies that the updates are already downloaded to my PC (0k left to download) but the installation problem occurs again. I've tried disabling NIS but this doesn't seem to help. I'm looking for inspiration! Regards, Stewart
  • 5. XP Home. Altering partitions.
    My system came with 2 partions on the hd. C: Is 5gb with XP Home factory reset image. D: Is 75gb with actual XP installation. Somehow the C: partition image became corrupted so I have had to install XP from the oem cd which is a real pain. I have worked out how to use NTBackup, installed another hd and put an image a working XP system on there which re-installs great. I would like to know if it's possible to re-install windows from cd, to reformat the whole original drive into one 80gb partition. (Without spending any money!)

Hi all,

A friend's brother brought me his PC, which is royally infected.  I've 
managed to manually remove some via file tracing using 'msconfig' and 
'regedit'.  I've attempted to do an on-line scan from Trend or Norton, but 
the remote utility reports issues with ActiveX (same on the MS Update site).  
He has Panda loaded on the system, but it hasn't been updated since April and 
now won't run.

Tonight I'll try the stand-alone DOS version of Trend to do a little more 
cleaning, probably also Spybot.  I saw the posting suggesting Stinger, so 
that may be my backup plan.  I've done a recovery reload of XP (Home Ed), but 
I still have some issues.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?  If none of the above works, I will 
flush the disk and reload from scratch.

One other question...  is there a Registry tutorial on the KnowledgeBase or 
a book that goes into depth?  I know enough to backup and search for entries 
I want to delete or modify, but some areas have absolutely no meaning to me.

TIA,
Keith

1.invalid ActiveX/com and invalid ActiveX/com registry 

A service called PC doc on call, found on the web has 
identified 249 of these invalid ActiveX/com problems and 
has offered to fix them for a fee online. They say these 
can cause many programs to malfunction, i.e. run slowly, 
not open etc. can you advise me on this? I have very 
little practical computer knowledge. My system is a dell 
2.66mhz,512mb dual channel with 300mhz side bus running 
windows xp with service pack 1a. Everything on my 
computer runs slow except dell media. My earthlink e-mail 
is super slow to load also. I have done free virus scans 
using macafee,norton, and trendmicro.com and found 
nothing. I have also done a repair install using my op 
system disk. Nothing is working. Help....

3.Bug in WMP ActiveX control? 

Yo,

1) Create a simple dialog-based MFC app in VC7
2) In the resource editor insert a Windows Media Player, then 
right click on it, and add a variable for it named m_mp (VC7 
will generate a wrapper class COcx1 which is derived from public 
CWnd).
3) Add a button called "Hide" and an event handler for it that 
does the following: m_mp.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
4) Compile and run, then click the Hide button.

Why doesn't the hide button hide the Windows Media Player?

Thanks!

4.Bug with Kodak imaging ActiveX component 

We have used Kodak imaging imgedit component in a visual 
basic application to display tiff image files. We have a 
facility to delete the displayed image wherein image file 
is deleted from file system using 'kill' statement.

We noticed that if image file size is less than 18 kbytes, 
imgedit control shows the deleted image. 

Let us say that we have 3 images, image001.tif, 
image002.tif & image003.tif. If image002.tif is displayed 
& user orders to delete it, we kill the file, image002.tif 
& then rename image003.tif as image002.tif. When user 
requests to display 2nd image from folder, we point to 
image002.tif but imgedit displays deleted image (earlier 
image002.tif) , how is it possible?

5.ActiveX Test Container Bug? 

Greetings,

Can anyone tell me why the MS ActiveX Test Container (shipped with VC++)
fails to load certain controls (notably the Windows Media Player)?

I'm looking at the code for the container as an example of how to
dynamically load ActiveX controls but I'm surprised that it doesn't work in
many cases.  Any insight into TSTCON's problem with this control would be
much appreciated.

Thanks,
