XP Pro crashes on start up

kvc

Hi everyone I have a 2 year old sony vaio running XP pro. it crashed one day and when i restarted using the on/off button it would start initially, and then hang immediately. I tried system restore but it would not work as it would hang at `logging off`, and i had to `kill` the m/c using the on off button.

Trying to prevent reinstalling WinXP

mjwebb007

Working on a Dell laptop for a friend of a friend. WinXP takes forever to boot. . . over 3 minutes. Also takes about the same amount of time to shut down. There is no task bar, CTRL+ESC does nothing.

XP's CD/DVD-writer any good?

packman

For years now, I've always used a cut-down version of Nero that I bought and put on my WinXP PC for writing CDs and DVDs. Alongside it, I've used InCD, the packetiser from Nero/Ahead that allows you to format/write/read re-writeable CDs and DVDs.

Does updating Office2003 produce Office2007/10?

packman

Does applying periodic updates to Office 2003 Standard, either via the Windows Update website or the Office section of microsoft. com, change the style/appearance of Office 2003's constituent components (Outlook, Excel, Word, etc)? That's to say, other than the up applying security fixes and the occasional bug fix, ...

Reinstalling WinXP: How do I ensure I get IE7?

packman

I'm currently planning the build of a new Windows PC, to replace my slow, 10-yr old machine. Pretty much all of the hardware will be different, so I'm going to have to install my WinXP SP2 (32-bit) and other software from scratch and then apply the appropriate updates again.

Cormac

Hey all, it's been awhile. The problem I'm having is I finally decided to update to IE 8 incase my Firefox went down for some reason. Now IE 8 claims that only it can show gif files for me. I've tried using my normal viewing program, Vue Print Pro32 and it won't show gif's anymore.
