thanks. i don't want to change the folder icon though, i want to change the way the contents of the folder look. the folder has all my mp3's in it. when i open the folder, all the files are listed in list view. it is a white background with black plain font text. i want to change the background ...

SVO-1

this may be a stupid question, but, is there a way to change the background, font, ect. in a folder in windows ? ? ? i have looked & can't find a way to do it from within windowsXPpro. anyone know of a program to acomplish that or a way to do it ? ? ? thanks in advance ! ! !

thanks for the help guys ! ! ! ! ! LOL @ Noevo - when i find the guy, i'll have him send you stuff of his wife.

how do i know what codecs i need ? ? ?

SVO-1

i can view some .avi files fine in windows media player but others only have sound. i notice at the bottom of the media player, it says "requesting codec" & then it says "error - codec not downloaded". could this be why it don't play right ? ? ? if so, how would i find the codec ? ? ?

SVO-1

in wXPpro, when i go into "my puter" or "my docs" or whatever, i like the "icons" view. i can click the "view" tab at the top and change it to "icons". the next time i go back into it, they are "tiles" again. how can i get them to stay "icons" ? ? ?

how would you go about putting 8mm images from cam corder onto a computer ? ? ?

SVO-1

nevermind - sorry, i just saw the digital image/photo forum. i'll post there.

SVO-1

this may be the wrong forum - but how can you put 8mm images (from cam corder) onto computer in mpeg format or something like that ? ? ?

SVO-1

cool - thanks guys. i appreciate it. i haven't been here lately but i'm glad to see how willing everyone still is to help.

i know this is prolly a stupid question but i know nothing about word processing & stuff like this. my wife downloaded a bunch of font packages. how does she get them to where she can use them in word documents ? ? ?

SVO-1

someone told me that there was some sort of webpage or web service that acts as a portal to the net and uses it's proxy to protect your privacy - anyone know anything about this ? ? ?

SVO-1

i know there is is a simple solution to this - i'm just overlooking it.
everytime i restart my puter - IE automatically opens my homepage on start-up. how do i stop it ? ? ? ? ?

SVO-1

thanks man - i'll try one of those. "mp3doctor" says it can decode a mp3, then "resample" the file and encode it back with any bitrate you want up to 310. sound cool, but like i said, i can't even get it to run, so i don't know if it can actually do it or not.

SVO-1

can anyone recommend a program/utility for editing MP3's ? ? ?
i want to be able to normalize the volume level, adjust the bitrate and clean-up files before burning to be able to make better sounding CD's. i found one called "MP3 Doctor" but all i get is run time errrors with it.

fresh install of XP Pro and i can't download from alot of sites. on download.com, zdnet or msn d/l center - when i click "download now" nothing ever happens, the windows download manager window never opens up. i can however d/l from a few other sites i tried. i thought the problem may be with their ...

SVO-1

thanks norm, but i had tried that too (got same message). i went ahead and bit the bullet and formatted (i'm getting pretty good at it - LOL). all is o.k. now (thank GOD i had all my "good stuff" backed-up. i learned that the hard way about 3 years ago.

thanks anyway everybody - i just got ...

ya - i been running NortonCorporate for a few months and manually update it every day or 2. i also use "the cleaner" & adaware5.82 (everything is up to date). nothing in the start-up menu looks odd. that window has always poped-up when i boot up. it would come up and stay for about 2te seconds, then ...

SVO-1

all of a sudden - a black command prompt window has started fashing on my screen about every 3 seconds. it says c\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the header (i think - it only stays there about a 1/2 second) but nothing in the box. it just keeps flashing. it's flashing now it pops up maximized on top of ...

SVO-1

i can't get my history to delete. i can clear the history, cookies, temp files, ect in IE properties and the click "history" in IE and all the history is still there. i can run "windows washer" & "system mechanic" and then check in IE and the history is STILL there. what's up with that ? ? ? ? ?

SVO-1

Norm - that is an awsome trick, it did the job. that was the problem, when i would try to uninstall in add/remove programs, i would get errors saying "install/uninstall log not found" or some crap like that. i just couldn't get rid of them. they're gone now. thanks alot man - c ya

SVO-1

does anyone know of a good (preforably free) uninstaller or know another way to get rid of all the old programs that still show up in "add/remove programs" ? ? ? ? ?

SVO-1

if i were to copy the partition that wXPpro is on & paste it to another partition, would everything still work ? ? ? ? ?
currently i have w98se on "C". i was using "D" for storage & w98se programs. "E" has wXPpro on it. "F" is for storage & wXPpro programs. "D" is a waste of space - i only use w98se ...

SVO-1

how do you enable/disable "active desktop" in wXPpro ? ? ? ? ?

SVO-1

i set up a dual boot w98se/wXPpro about a week ago and all has been good. yesterday i started getting a yellow triangle in task bar with a (!) inside it. if i click on it, it says "IP error / you have an IP addy conflict with another system on your network". this ONLY happens when i'm booted into XP ...

trying to format and set up w98se / wXP dual boot. i have wXP installed now. i have partitioned and saved data. i put in w98se boot disk to format "C". i was gonna format & install w98se and then install wXP on partition. once i boot into 98 bootdisk and type: format C: i get a message saying that ...

SVO-1

i'm not sure if i will be able to find my w98 boot disk or not. if not, is there somewhere i can download the files and make a boot disk? ? ? ? ?

SVO-1

i have wXP on my puter / a new hobby of mine requires me to run some 16-bit apps. it seems as if XP won't do that. i want to dual boot w98se. i want to know if i am thinking right before i attempt it.
i already have several partitions set up on my HD's. here's my plan:

1> boot off of w98se floppy ...

thanks ken - but i give up. i have tried everything. i appreciate you trying to help. i'll just live with it until the next time i reformat <that fixes everything, right?>

SVO-1

i'm trying to install a program and i keep getting a message saying that i can't run 16-bit windows programs. what does that mean? ? ?

ken -

i uninstalled kazaa / ran adaware / cleaned registry but i still have the same problem

SVO-1

that would be great. yeah - i hate to think it's kazaa causing the problems. what file sharing programs are all of you using? ? ?

SVO-1

OMG - this is soo damn frustrating. it has to be a windows setting. i uninstalled the mouse in device manager. it reinstalled when i rebooted. still does the same thing. let me try to explain again what it does.
example:
i open IE and have a webpage on screen.
i open kazaa to listen to some music ...

SVO-1

thanks ken but that didn't do it. upon messing around with it a little more, i think it is something to do with my mouse. i got 3 small windows open on my desktop at the same time. they were kinda on top of each other but you could see part of each window. which ever window i touched with the ...

SVO-1

somehow i have obviously changed some setting somewhere that keeps me from opening multiple windows. if i minimize a few windows and then have one open, i can't maximumize the windows that are at the bottom. i have to minimize the open one before i can max. another one. it's not a real big deal i ...

SVO-1

thanks ken - that did it. i had too many spaces in there. i did the repair. time will tell if it fixed the problem or not. i appreciate the help.
