XP crashes when printing to HP Photosmart
by Guest bdg- 0 replies
- 276 views
I'm running Windows XP SP2. My printer is an HP 3210 connected by USB and has been working perfectly for six months. Suddenly I have a problem. Occasionally printing works ok but mostly when printing, from any source, the printer starts to print then after a few lines it stops and the PC freezes (no mouse, no keys, no clock movement). The only way out is to switch off at mains. The only change made recently is from wired mouse to wireless logitech optical one. I've tried the following:- Re- installed mouse with latest software from web. Re-installed Printer and checked HP site which says my software and drivers are latest version. Cleaned Registry …

How to get uninstall path string in Add/Remove programs
by Guest Ravi- 0 replies
- 174 views
There are 2 programs from same company listed in the control panel "Add/Remove" list. If you click "Remove" on either of them it will launch the msiexec.exe followed by product code to uninstall the program. I see the uninstall string entries for one of the programs in registry: Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. For the other program, I don't see it listed at all in the "Uninstall" list, even though that program definitely calls the msiexec.exe when user clicks "Remove" from "Add/ Remove" list. Is there any other place to get the path to where the uninstall path of that program is?

"No just-in-time debugger installed" - but there is !
by Guest Jethro- 0 replies
- 374 views
Hi all, running Win2000 Server, using VI6. Had no problems debugging, and (as far as I know) haven't installed anything new. Now I can't run the interdev debugger. I get an error message telling me there is no just- in-time debugger installed. However looking through the registry, all the keys seem OK (they all "join up" and all the inprocserver32 files exist.) Running C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\vsjitdebugger pulls up the same message. Have googled and found zip, so wondered if anyone else had experienced that (and hopefully fixed it), it could give me some pointers thanks in advance

Windows XP pro chrashes on install/repair
by Guest JackC21- 0 replies
- 325 views
Hi I'm having so trouble with my computer the issue is Windows will not repair itself or doesn't want to be re-installed. It crashes always at the same place asking for a driver for the sound car. The only option I have is to re-start the computer and Windows just go back to it setup mode, and then crashes again, so it's a never ending loop. Any ideas what should I do to overcome that problem? Cheers Jack

Mouse Behavior
by Guest Roger Fink- 0 replies
- 455 views
I'm running a five button wired Intellimouse Optical mouse using Kensington Mouseworks software on W2K. I've done this for years (mostly on 98SE) and it's a very nice setup - virtually bug free and much better than Microsoft's Intellipoint software. But lately I've developed a problem which at least so far I can't correct. For some reason, despite my user settings to the contrary, the mouse automatically moves the pointer to the default setting in a dialog box. The user setting under Mouse in the control panel - which is set to disallow this behavior - appears to be reflected in the registry setting as best I can tell. The only computer events I can think of th…

Printer preferences - some options cut off right edge
by Guest Padfoot- 0 replies
- 78 views
Hi, Please bear with me while I try my best to explain. I have an issue with a PC where I open (or any account) the printer pref box. Down the left side of the pref box is a picture of the printer which gets updated when you add/remove trays and other options. When I open this box on my (working) PC the actual options (copies, sided etc.) start about 1cm to the right of the picture and all options fit within the pref box. Now when I open this on the PC with the issue, the options start about 4cm away from the pic to the right and because of this, 3cm's of options on the right just get cut off the edge of the pref box. Sorry that is as best as I can put…

Streaming Media across multiple subnets
by Guest MnL- 0 replies
- 182 views
I work for a county library system as an administrator that has 28 branches in multiple locations within the county with multiple subnets. We have just acquired office-training videos that we are to make available to the public and I am looking into the best way to do this. On Friday, I did a test installation of streaming media server on a 2003 server box but did not have much time to look at it. So my question is what would be the best way to make these videos available on the public PCs all running XP pro across multiple subnets without sapping all of our bandwidth. I cannot setup a server at each location. The files are wmv. and quite large. Thanks in adva…
