There is no task manager to double click on, that's my whole problem! All I have is the task bar button and the CPU resource meter in the system tray. Help please?

Thanks Blizz but no luck. It's a great site though, thanks for the link. Can anyone else come up with a solution?

Hi Guys, Using XP, all of a sudden task manager stopped displaying any sort of window at all, it's not running in tiny footprint mode, ie: double clicking in the task bar doesn't fix it. All I get is a tab in the task bar with a picture of a computer screen and the CPU usage logo in the system...

Thanks bacillus, I should have known that already, but my ignorance stands in the way of my intelligence!

Hi Guys, When I right click on a link in IE6 with XP and choose "Open link in new window" the new window is a minimized window, but it's about 95% full window size. I preferred it when the window was about 25% of full size! Can anyone tell me how to fix this small but annoying problem? Any...

Have you checked your event logs? (right click My Computer- Manage- Event Viewer) Check the system and application logs for any errors and then go to the Microsoft site for help. Maybe, try uninstalling Norton and see what happens, maybe it was a bad install. Try pressing CTL-ALT-DEL and then go...

Go to device manager and see if the sound card is working correctly, you may need to reload the drivers, just use the wizard to do that. If that doesn't fix it. it may be that the card isn't seated correctly in the board, just take it out and refit it again. That happened to me a couple of weeks...

Right click My Computer and select "Manage" Select "Event Viewer" and check out the Application and System Logs. If you have any ERROR or WARNING events, this could be your problem.

SYSPREP is used to prepare a computer so that it is suitable to make an image that can be rolled out across a network of many computers. It removes any unique features of the computer so that you can have the same sytem installed on all your machines, as long as they are all identical in...

Whatever happened to the edit button? The filenames actually are: NTLDR NTDETECT.COM BOOT.INI BOOTSECT.DOS

I have had the same problem in the past. I made a Win2k boot disk, here's how you do it, you need access to another Win2k machine. Format a floppy disk on the Win 2k machine (must be 2k or it won't work) Copy these sytem files onto the disk: NTLDR NTDETECT.COM BOOT.INI BOOTSECT.DOS If...

According to setup, it will remove any apps, files or folders, if you're sure you can do it, I guess it's OK. I just installed Win2k on another partition so I could copy all my stuff over, but I had it encrypted and I can't access it from this installation. Life as I know it won't end if I...

Hi guys, Well I've done it this time, I have deleted system files and can't boot windows. Have tried to repair using recovery console and ERD. The ERD can't copy all the system files from the source CD.(Have tried 2 CD's and 2 drives) It gets to 96% and then won't copy any more. Then it says it...

You guys are too good! That was the problem, I had been playing around with NTFS permissions and somehow the system account lost access to the pagefile.sys file. Anyway, it's fixed and working. Thanks all, for the help.
