- 1. Can't Configure Mouse Settings
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but... I have a laptop with a touchpad. I noticed I can no longer configure my mouse settings. When I click on Control Panel, then on Mouse, the following error box pops up: (RUNDLL is the title) An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\System32\main.cpl," Mouse" Any help would be appreciated! - 2. XP PRO SP1 setconfig.exe error
I receive a setconfig.exe error every time the system boots up. - 3. Disappearing CD-RW
Can somebody give me an idea what to do? For some reason I cant access my burner. I have Nero express also does it have problems with XP Pro with SP2? I cannot burn anything. In Device Manager it says it is running okay. (Artec WSM-52Z) In Manager it says the burner is: CD-ROM 0 CD-ROM Online My regular CD Drive is: CD-ROM 1 CD-ROM (K:) No Media Notice no drive letter for the burner Thanks for any possible help Bruce Not to let it go unsaid you guys are a Godsend to us so-called "Normies" Keep up the good work. The pay is so great. -- When things get tough & seem to go uphill, Quit and let someone else do it! Life's too short for that shit! - 4. Run Missing From Startup
I do not have RUN at the startup menu. I was told someone did something to edit what appears after clicking on Start. Could you tell me if there is a way to return this to the Startup menu? I can find it via Search but it is not in the Startup menu. Thanks for your help. We are running Windows XP Home. - 5. Internet doesn't work for other users than Administrators.
I'm using fast user switching, and it works just fine except the small matter of internet access. When I switch user to a "normal" user account (not guest) they cant get access to internet, ala page cannot be displayed. So I go on pinging spree ;) The wierd thing is that dns's and gateways all respond but I cant seem to get anything to work anyway. Another strange thing is that when I as the "normal" user ping local host it says: "Pinging gamma [] with 32 bytes of data:" And when I ping localhost from my admin account it says: "Pinging gamma [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:" It replies both times, but there seem to be a problem with ip-translating? I dont know but it should be possible to be logged in as 2 users at the same time and internet should work for both of them right? Any help is warm welcome. //Chris

The Miscrosoft > product key sticker is still on some of these donated computers, including > the one in question. There is no need to reactive the license. Activation pertains to the computer, not the owner. It doesn't expire if the computer is sold or given to someone else. By the way if the computer has a product key sticker on it, it came with Windows XP installed, and is therefore an OEM version. > "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote: > > > On Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:50:01 -0700, VC < XXXX@XXXXX.COM > > > wrote: > > > > > We are a not-forprofit organization and work on donated computers.

3.Windows XP System Restore Vs. Adobe PS Activation
Does Anyone Know A Workaround Fix When Using System Restore When Adobe Photoshop CS Is Installed ...As If A System Restore Is Performed With Adobe Products Installed On The Machine, When Adobe Photoshop CS Is Opened Again, You Are Asked To Re-Activate Photoshop CS .. This Happens Anytime That A System Restore Is Performed Until A Fix Is Available,I Don't Want to have to use System Restore As If Somewhere Down The Line,The Re-Activation Is No Longer Permitted, For Say, Too Many Re-activations Etc.
