  1. Hello and Happy New Year!

     

    I was wondering whether anyone has come across this problem where there is a black bar between the scrollbar and the edge of the window. It is consistent across different websites, however, the elements on the webpage are clickable in the black area as if it does not exist.

    The computer is a fresh recovery from Lenovo factory settings with Windows 7 Home Edition with all updates from windows update installed. Current installed version of Internet Explorer is 11.0.9600.18124.

     

    Thank you very much!

  2. have you tried sticking the hard drive into another computer and installing the OS on that computer then transporting the HD back to the one you are trying to fix? it might solve some problems... but i duno... i tried that once before, fixed a few driver conflicts and it worked...

  3. pull all your external hardware out and try a boot. if that dosent work, try reinstalling windows, that usually solves problems. if pulling all the hardware out works, boot into windows then plug everything back in. that should solve any driver conflicts incurred during boot.

  4. frys problem is simply when alt+tab is pressed, the folder can be seen in the selection, however, the folder is not visible at all on the taskbar, ie the bar next to where the start button is located. I hope this will clarify things a little, and will do in place of a screendump

  5. sorry if i seem to be starting up an ancient topic but it seems relevant in this thread rather than to start a new one but yea...

    have a dell computer with a intel pro/100 ve card

    installed winxp sp2 then internet connection dies

    uninstall sp2 - internet connection remains dead

    so reinstall

    come across this thread

    uninstall driver+reinstall - nothing new - ie. net connection still dead

    installed the microsoft update stated in this forum - nothing new again

    reboot into safe mode - net connection working!!

    reboot back into normal mode - dead again

    reboot back into safe mode then change network identification then reboot - still dead

    tried pulling the plug for >1 min - still dead

    tried using ping and tracert on urls - works

    this is so weird...

    i connect to the internet using a router and all the other computers are working fine

    o and even MS networking aint working on the machine with the bugged card.

    can someone please help me?! ive spent more than a week trying to figure this out!?!

    Thanks,

    Jeff

  6. i have helped many people upgrade to SP2... but there are bugs on it.... ran into a few already such as dead network cards afterwards etc. and I guess companies want to really test out SP2 in all environments before seriously deploying the service pack... it is a big hit to a business to have all their CPU's dying out because of a new SP... it has only been out for 8-9 months...

  7. search the registry for any listing for i386 and if there is a drive letter in front of that, change it to your DVD drive, what you can do as well is copy the entire i386 folder from your windows XP cd onto your hard drive and get it to point to that location, that way you can put the cd away until you need to reinstall windows or something.

  8. are your computers on a single wire ie. NIC-NIC connection w/o a hub or w/ a hub? also, try configuring the settings from the network wizard found in the sidebar in Network connections, this might solve your problem... run it from both computers and see whether that helps...

  9. do dead hard drives count? i have a stash of them... but all live material...

    Desktop :200GB

    Laptop (PC): 20GB

    Laptpop (Mac): 80GB

    External 1: 120GB

    External 2: 40GB

    Compact Flash total: 912MB

    USB Flash disk: 32MB

    ~200 CD's: ~140GB

    ~50 Floppies: ~70MB

    ~5 DVD's: 25GB

    Grand Total--> ~625gb

    =)

  10. If you put your Windows XP CD in and boot your machine, when prompted press 'R' to go into the recovery console. At the prompt type
    REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v Userinit /d "%SystemRoot%\system32\userinit.exe," /f

    Take your CD out and reboot, that should do the trick!

    If by some chance it doesn't work, you should try copying over, but also in the recovery console.

    TYPE:
    CD SYSTEM32
    HIT THE ENTER KEY
    TYPE:
    REN wsupdater.exe wsupdater.bak
    HIT THE ENTER KEY
    COPY userinit.exe wsupdater.exe
    HIT THE ENTER KEY
    TYPE:
    EXIT
    HIT THE ENTER KEY
    Take your CD out and reboot

    Tried this method... dosent work /.\

    thanks anyway... any other people know of an alternative method?

  12. download the virus definition file manually from:

    http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html

    and remove your network cable then

    removr your entire antivirus from the add/remove programmes,

    reboot, and

    reinstall antivirus

    install downloaded definitions

    run antivirus check

    if virus quarantine/delete then plug in network cable and run live update and you should be fine,

    if no virus then reconnect network cable run live update and rescan...

    otherwise run spybot search and destroy... whcih can be found

    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/

    download, update and scan =)

  13. how did you manage to format a 160gb hd into 160 gigs to run in win 98 from dos? i used PMP and used a 100 gig... that was no problem, win 98 working fine with that... and 512 ram... after installing 98se2me

  14. hey I have a windows XP chinese installation on a Fat 32 drive, but whenever i run scandisk for dos (when starting up windows 98) it changes all the filenames so that i cant find my chinese files anymore, and it also screws up bits of the windows installation itself, can anyone help apart from me formatting into NTFS?

    Thanks a lot,

    Jeff

  15. right... first thing when reducing hard disk sizes... internet history, temporary files etcetc... then when you remove programmes, READ the last box, it usually tells you which files were not deleted, go and delete those, you should also clean out the registry because programmes always leaves registry keys behind... and dont install everything windows update bugs you to install, things suck as the .net framework are useless... unless someone can tell me precisely what it is for...

  16. if your have more than one stick of RAM, which is quite common in new computers, then try ripping the one on slot 1 one and replacing it with another stick and see whether that works, and check all your other connections as well... if you really need pull your ram out and give the connections a good clean out...
