I agree with the mouse idea. I move files around everyday and this happens to me occasionally. If you hold control, and then drag the mouse, even 1 pixel, it will create a copy of all the selected items. I do use that function to actually make copies of files also, although I have accidently filled up a drive by not being careful.

I use user account in admin group....

Wouldn't it just be simpler to buy a keyboard conceived for the PC? PS2 keyboards are for losers.

That registry key you mentioned affects the Desktop background (what you see if your wallpaper isn't stretched/tiled/there. Isn't this blue screen just the logon screen without any gui on it? I believe it isnt a solid color, it has a gradient right?

Ha this is a basic screenshot compared to my problem. I use Windows XP with an Apple Advanced USB Keyboard. Its the same keyboard they used on the G4, so if you haven't seen one the Print Screen, Scroll Lock and Pause keys are replaced by F13-15. The problem is that Windows sees these keys as F13-F15 and not the IBM keys. I could not remap the functions of these keys, and changing the registry did nothing. I have to use Fraps or SnagIt to take screenshots!

Yes I have never run anti-virus on a computer since 1997. The only time I used a firewall was when I had first got broadband but I got rid of that and went hardware. I don't even have service pack 1 installed on mine. The easiest way to keep a clean running system is to NOT GO TO PRON SITES EVAR. then you will be fine. I have had ONE virus on my computer (the one I made in 2001) and it was one that I put on there myself. These are the programs I use to clean infections of any sort: -SysInternals Filemon -SysInternals Procexp -PE Explorer -UltraEdit -Regedit sometimes i break down and use HJT...

Is that Vista there or using a skinner?

I guess i need to post in here. I came here yesterday looking at the unattended install section and wanted to download something. Then it wouldn't let me register because I already had an account here. I didn't remember and I probably didn't remember to post in this forum. So this is Tripredacus, known everywhere online by that name, except for some archaic accounts were I am called Bludgeon[atr] (such as Battle.net and ForumPlanet). Right now I am doing work with installs, script-apps. I run a Transformers website and used to be a DJ/Promoter. PS: am I allowed to put a picture in my signature?

I have only had to reinstall Windows twice ever. One was for a motherboard replacement, one was because I installed MS DOS 5.0 on top of Windows 95. The only other time was when a hard drive died and that is a no-brainer. My current PC has not had Windows reinstalled since its first time in 2001.

Either HP or Toshiba.

We still use them at work, but I haven't used one at home since I had to use my good old Windows 98 CD-ROM Boot Disk (the XP cd wouldn't boot for some reason).

1 "desktop" in use, 1 desktop down for repairs, 1 mac desktop never hooked up, 6 notebooks.

Ah I have been tasked to do this for a good amount of installations. I shall find this information useful for sure.

I am developing a new install for some software at my company using InstallShield 11 Professional. This will be our first distribution that uses this as all previous versions used InstallShield 5.5 Professional. The process I will be using will be to create an MSI project, which uses Windows Installer. I have adopted our setup to adhere to the Windows Installer and Logo Requirements document, however my question lies within its use. This document makes numerous references to the Windows XP Logo Program and Requirements. It is not in our specification to use the Windows Logo on our product, but does using MSI/Windows Installer require adherance to the Windows XP Logo Program? If it does, can you please send me a link that states this? This is a concern because the application for distribution doesn't meet 2 of the first 5 requirements. I didn't bother checking the rest until I knew if it was required or not.

Greetings, this is my first post. I have not been able to get an answer to this question (and to another I will make in a moment) on other forums so I figured I would try it out here. This regards this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;249843 Specifically mso.dll and mso9.dll. It specifically states And then later it says: Is this to say that these files should not be redistributed in any case, or just not onto machines that have Office installed?
