Windows Explorer crashing in XP

Decay57
I know there have been some other threads about explorer crashing but they only seemed vaguely similar to whats happening on my computer. I can start windows explorer just fine and use the expand and collapse plus/minus signs to navigate through the tree on the left side panel.

Copying CD-based Audiobooks

Christianb
Hi Gang, Here's what I'd like to do, copy multi-cd audiobooks into one long, mono, low-quality MP3 file. However, I seem to have problems getting that to work using CDex. Seeing how CDex hasn't been updated for years I'm thinking that CD makers have found some way to distort their audio so it won't come out using CDex.

Windows XP crashing on spash screen

Hello, I recently re-installed windows, not a fresh, but a repair. So, now my computer is rebooting right after the first splash screen when windows first boots up. I see the splash screen for a quick flicker, then computer promptly reboots.

need to reinstall?

bigdan
I've been having problems with my keyboard for the last few months and NO ONE has been able to help. I've bought 3 other keyboards to test and neitehr of them will work. Furthermore they all work at the first screen when one restarts the computer, where you click delete to enter BIOS or f8 to go into safe mode.

Office Professional 2003 not allowing updates

existence7
Help! For some reason when I go to the Microsoft website to up date my Office software I end up getting the error software not installed. . . I followed MS bulletin advice to check originating source keys, changed it in the registry, tried the full install for service pack 2 for Office 2003 and still it won't update.

"Contains No Data" In Firefox

tool_462
I am wondering if there is something I can change so Firefox stops popping up a little box that says Document Contains No Data or something like that when I load web pages occasionally. After I click ok it proceeds to load everything on the page normally, save an occasional side-bar or banner advertisement.

Hi Gang, I have a client with an old system that somebody gave her. From what I understand BackWeb is typically bundled with other programs and one of those programs will launch BackWeb at startup.
