  1. I am getting CPU usage in the 90 % range when there are no windows on the Taskbar and no open programs. Everything is going slower. In the Processes window, system idle shows readings from 60-99% with explorer.exe taking the balance. Can someone help me? Thanks, Andy
  2. I ended reformating and re-installing XP. Not being able to start explorer.exe on two accounts along with very slow behavior on the Admin account is what led to the above. Andy
  3. My administrator account boots up fine. But when I go to either of my Limited User accounts, there are no icons on the desktop. What is even stranger is that the problem still occurs when I used a known image backup that worked fine. Can someone help me restore those 2 accounts? Thanks.
  4. My recommendation is to get a second drive to be used as a backup for programs and storing disk images. I use Macrium Reflect and make a new image at least once a week. Make a boot CD with BartPE along with Macrium Reflect. I use a rewritable one. With this system, I have never had to re-install the Operating System. I have also disabled System Restore which gives you a lot of extra disk space.
  5. I am missing something. If the directory is empty, why would there be a prompt to overwrite what isn't there?
  6. if system connected to the domain server than first change the setting on server .... I am not on a server. To be more specific, I want to synchonize the time with a time server. Thanks.
  7. I have assigned the rights to Change the system time to a limited user account. But, I can not change the time. Any ideas why? Vielen Dank
  8. I have no devices and printers selection. Andy
  9. Is there a way to stop Windows from installing a driver when it detects a hardware item? Thanks.
  10. I got it fixed. .html files were originally set to be opened by minefield.exe. I wanted them to be opened by firefox.exe. I had to go in and manually change the path.
  11. So it appears that the bulletin is wrong and somewhere along the line they disabled autorun.inf. Without the need for KB971029. That's what I have been saying since day 1. Take care.
  12. < Has the autorun for USB devices for Xp Pro been deactivated with Sp3 ? So the answer is yes.
  13. I installed a new modem. Everything is fine till a day or 2 later, and then device manager shows the modem with that "yellow symbol" showing that it isn't working. Any way to fix it permanently? *** On a side note, I have noticed new problems ever since Service Pack 3 was installed. Thanks.
  14. I have set Firefox to open .html and .htm under my admin account but under a limited user it uses Internet Explorer to open them. How can I fix that? Thanks.
  15. They are both set correctly. Can you try it out on an Sp3 equipped machine? Thanks.
  16. Has the autorun for USB devices for Xp Pro been deactivated with Sp3 ? This worked until Sp2. NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 91 (hex)
  17. Check out these sites and see Win32 assembly in action. http://www.asmcommunity.net/board/index.php http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?
  18. I program using masm.exe and assembly. I can't find any assembly forums or groups in MSFN. What language comes closest to assembly and I will look for groups for it. Thanks.
  19. I am a programmer who uses assembly. I can find info about SHDeleteKey at MSDN, but it isn't in my 2003 help files. Is it newer than 2003? Is there a place at msfn that lists the dates when the various API were created? Thanks a lot.
  20. What do you mean by "reinstalling" the directory ? Recreating it ? What's in it at first ? How did it start ? Is this Windows XP (this is the XP forum) ? Reread my post. It says nothing about re-installing directory etc. Might want to take off the Master part. :-) Have a good one.
  21. WFP can't be turned off in Sp3. (unless you know of a patch) XPlite or if you're willing to reinstall, nLite. Thanks. I did have an issue with nLite. It had no uninstaller and had to be removed manually by deleting the directory. Very bad programming practice.
  22. WFP can't be turned off in Sp3. (unless you know of a patch)
