VIKTOR2020

Working on DW's laptop: Toshiba Satellite M45
Was getting irregular problems and changed HD
Installed XP Prof on new HD
On bootup BIOS apparently can't boot from the HD so it tries LAN, finds none and says a cable is loose (E-61). BIOS tells me the identity of the HD and its IRQ. Was able to install ...

Computer: Toshiba M45-S2692
I replaced the HD and want to reinstall Windows XP. When I boot from the XP disk it requires an original Windows 98, 95, ME, etc disk for validation since I have only a XP upgrade disk. If I use my Toshiba Recovery disk for validation it tells me it can't read the CD. My ...

Got it, thank you so much.

VIKTOR2020

Thanks to all who shared their expertise on my problem.
I was finally able to boot the computer in Safe Mode and do a backup of the HD. There's one file I can't be sure got backed up, that's the PST file for Outlook. I don't want to loose my collection of emails or my address book. Can anybody tell ...

VIKTOR2020

I believe it's the same files each time that aren't read, but the HD might still need replacing.
So the question is: how can I get my data off it?

VIKTOR2020

The first file it couldn't locate was USBEHCI.SYS; I didn't copy any more.
I did try the <blank> password but that didn't work.
I'm repairing the Windows XP again in hopes it'll get enough files correct to let me back up the HD. Then I planned to reformat the drive and install a clean copy of XP ...

try booting from the XP disk and run a repair to the command console.. type in fixboot, then run a chkdsk /r

That may kick you out of the reboot loop...

Thanks for the several suggestions. I really appreciate you all taking the time to make them. I've been able to boot from the XP disk, but ...

VIKTOR2020

My computer (xp home) was acting up so I did a dskchk; it said the check would begin at next bootup. It did, but it's locked into a loop doing disk checks and I can't stop it. If I "press any key" to stop disk check it ignores me. If I turn off the power switch and do a cold boot it begins to load ...

VIKTOR2020

I'm sure there's an obvious solution, but I can't see it.
One day all my fonts changed into a really crummy mess with some letters in bold and others not. The loops on "d" and "p" don't even meet to close the circle. This shows up in Word documents, Internet web sites, and email. The stuff on my ...

I apologize for asking a simple question, but here it is:
DW's computer (Toshiba notebook) running XP Home has started taking 15 min or more to load Windows XP. It loads up to the wallpaper screen, but shows no icons on desktop, no Start button, just a pretty picture for about 15 min. Then it loads ...

I had made it work for one shinning moment last night, but this morning it won't cooperate worth a d###. I'll try your suggestions and try the hardware route. I had already tried a SYBA parallel port in the computer and couldn't get any action out of it, that's why I was exploring cable as an ...

VIKTOR2020

Got a nice new computer but it has no parallel port. I tried Belkin's USB to Parallel cable but Vista can't see the printer on the other end. It's an old (but reliable) HP Deskjet 4L. Vista has the driver for the 4L and installs that but still no communication.
Any suggestions gratefully received ...

VIKTOR2020

Thanks for the suggestion.
I did what you suggested and got the "Couldn't read summary/log file..." message again. This occurs before the mouse pointer shows up on a black screen, but after the screen has the light blue background with dark blue bars on top and bottom. It's the same screen that ...

"Can't open log/summary file"

VIKTOR2020

This is the message I get on a blue screen each time I boot up XP Pro. This only started showing up a week ago. Any ideas?

Most side effects show up early and diminish as your body becomes accustomed to the medication, so the fact that you haven't had them likely means you won't. You're exactly right about worrying about effects being connected with OCD; the disorder almost protects itself from being cured!
Be sure to ...

Congratulations on being willing to try something that might make life more tolerable for you (and your missus); it takes guts to do it.
You might want to check out a really good web site run by the OC Foundation. They're a consortium of professionals and patients who join to make the best ...

I'm sure this has been convered before, but I can't find it with a Search, so please excuse a repeat:
I'm upgrading a notebook HD to a larger capacity and want to transfer the entire old drive contents (operating system and all) to the new one.
Will this work?
Use Ghost to clone the current HD to my ...

I finally gave up and switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla. That stopped the nonsense.

I've had allaboutsearching and search2020 on my computer for about a month and they have resisted everything I've tried to remove them. I've used all of the suggested programs in this thread multiple times and have edited my registry repeatedly, to no avail.
First, when they are removed they ...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It worked!!!

What did you do that worked? goodwin24

To the Dude: Search2020 comes up in the Add/Remove Programs list, but when you click on it it does NOTHING.

VIKTOR2020

Just to get back to you all: I've tried Adaware professional version along with Hijack This, Spybot, CW Shredder, Norton Anti-Virus, along with a few others I can't recall; as well as doing a series of searches for *.lop, Search2020, Allaboutsearching followed by Delete. I can get the offending ...

I hear clearly that you can connect your laptop to your cell phone, but what SOFTWARE do I need to get them to recognize each other? SnapSync wants $30 for theirs and I already have the USB cable. By the way, I have the Verizon 4400 you keep talking about and haven't a clue how to hack it.
Thanks ...

My wife somehow downloaded the worst spyware I've encountered and I still haven't been able to get it off her computer.
Her browser has been hijacked and a bottom of screen toolbar added that offers Make Money, Sex, Career, Mortgage, etc.
The toolbar is called Search2020 and the hijacked browser ...

Does anybody connect to the Net using their digital cell phone without a modem? How well does it work?

VIKTOR2020

The video card died on my old laptop and I want to transfer all its programs to a less old laptop and run them from there. Can that be done with Ghost?

VIKTOR2020

Thanks for the information. I reloaded Outlook from the Office disk and it's working again. As far as I know nobody's playing around with settings but it's my wife's machine and she sometimes does unintentional things to it.
Why Outlook? Her PDA syncs to it and Future Dial syncs her cell phone to ...

VIKTOR2020

For the second time in a month, Microsoft Outlook has just disappeared from my computer. Aside from how this happens, how do I get it back? Does it come with Office, Windows, or where? I can't find any place on the Microsoft web site to download it. Any help appreciated.

VIKTOR2020

My notebook running XP Home has learned a new trick. When I shut it down it removes the cursor but keeps t he rest of t he screen t he same and goes into a trance. It never shuts down. The only way to stop it is to softboot.
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks

VIKTOR2020

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll ask them.

VIKTOR2020

There has to be a way to get my phone book from my PC or PDA into my cell phone without typing it. Does anybody have a way to upload the data from PC to the Net and download it into the cell phone?

I'm building a home in another state. How do I find out whether cable or DSL is available in the new location?

VIKTOR2020

Thanks, J. I've made my floppy. It says it's for Win 95/98. Will it work with XP?

VIKTOR2020

Thanks for the suggestion.
How do I make a boot disk or startup disk?

VIKTOR2020

I installed a new HD and want to make it my main drive and use the older one for backups. I want to clone the old drive rather than install everything from scratch. I used a utility (xxcopy for my D: and E: partitions and WD's copy utility for my C: (boot)) to copy the old drive to the new. I then ...

VIKTOR2020

Thanks,
But where is Windows Update?

VIKTOR2020

When I'm on any web site for a couple of minutes, Explorer freezes up and I have to do Alt-Ctrl-Del to end it. It's just learned this trick this week. I used the Repair Files option in the program to try to make it stop, but that didn't do any good.
Suggestions?

VIKTOR2020

I'd like to dump all of '95 but it's an old notebook and I fear wiping out some driver I need and can no longer get. I've backed up the entire install of '95 to CD, but am unsure how to ferret out what I might need if the 98 SE gives me a computer that won't work.
