  • 3. Customizing ActiveDesktop
    I hate big wight spaces on my desktop - very sub-ergonomic, lastly for eyes. Therefore in my ActiveDesktop (two url's open in two spaces) I want to determine the background color in following manner: control panel -> internet options -> general -> "colors..." button -> text and background set to my preferences -> "use windows colors" option unchecked. It doesn't help. Therefore one change more: one dialog back -> accessibility button -> "ignore colors specified on web pages" option checked. But now my whole desktop gets wight - AWFUL. [1] How can I achieve my goal ? In both ActiveDesktop spaces I wish following background color RGB 82 135 194.

  • 5. Problem with html showing up in some programs
    I've just finished building a new computer and I'm slowly adding peripherals, software and data as I test its functionality. I can't exactly identify when or why, but in the last day or two I've begun getting html script where I would normally see a window or form or something. For instance, when I go to register my copy of Quicken for the new machine, I get html instead of what I'd expect to see. And I'm also getting it at the eula confirmation page for an online game ... I get a bunch of script in a window with the accept/deny buttons below it. I've checked to make sure that Java is installed, enabled pretty much every activex permission I can find, even dropped the firewall, and still, the error persists. I'm stumped. Can anyone offer suggestions for solutions?

Is it in the Device Manager?
If so remove it and then restart and let XP reinstall it from the driver 
cache.

If not check and make sure it is plugged in good.

1.RW DVD tagged as CDROM and using CDROM Drivers 

I have an ACER E360 with a RW DVD drive, which I would like to use for backup 
for the computer.

However, the DVD drive keeps coming up with one handle attached which 
designates it as a CDROM drive, and so XP keeps installing the generic CD ROM 
driver, not the one for this DVD drive.

ACER has sent me here for technical support.

Is there a way to edit the registry to force this drive to not include the 
CDROM ID and install the correct driver so I can use the drive for a RW DVD?

2.DVD/CDROM & CD/RW/CDROM Drives not working 

After installing Norton's Internet Security 2003 on my 
computer, my DVD and CD/RW drives no longer work. 
Everything that I have checked so far indicate that my 
drives are working properly but when I insert a disk I 
get a message telling me to insert a disk in drive "F". 
Drive "G" just doesn't read at all. When I uninstalled 
Norton it worked just fine. My husband also installed 
Norton on his laptop with Windows 2000 Professional and 
is experiencing no problems. I have contacted 
Symantec.com and am waiting for a reply. Please help. My 
kids can't play games and I can't listen to music.

3.Cdrom tray-cdrom won't work 

My cdrom door came ope and my tray came out all by itself, and now if I push 
the button nothing happens, and if I push the tray in by hand, it won't come 
back out. My computer is not that old at all, and I have never had this 
problem before, I had tried to uninstall the driver, and then re-install but 
that did not work, When I look up my cdrom, it says that it is working 
properly.........trust me it's not........could someone please help me with 
my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.....thank you

4.CDRom reader, CDRom writer + floppy disc blocked in Windows. 

Since some days, I find it impossible to read CDRom's or floppy discs (all 3 
peripherals connected to the IDE controllers, since a long time without 
problem).
When I look at the Device manager, it tells me that the devices are working 
properly. I can also find the identification of the CD volume in the reader 
thropugh the device manager. But nor the CD-rom's nor the floppies can be 
read. The event manager signals regularly the error ID nr 116 telling that 
the drive could not identify the media.
But I'm sure the hardware is working properly because musical CDRom can be 
listened through Windows Media Player and I could also backup files through 
Nero on the CDRom writer.
It's interesting to notice that these 3 devices have the same basic driver 
identification from Microsoft namely the version 5.0.2183.1 from 14/11/99, .
I reloaded and reinstalled the service pack 4 but this didn't bring any help.
So I have no more ideas about what to do.
Can anyone provide me a  creative suggestion?
Thank you beforehand.

5.CDROM delivery 

Could anyone offer any suggestions for WMV video content that will be streaming from an autoplay CDROM. Specifically I am looking for the encoding option settings that will allow hopefully 640x480 resolution at 29.97fps with as best a quality image as possible. My Matrox Rt.X manual states that it should be a constant bit rate of 7 Mbits/sec for my 9 minute video. Please help!
