Hi - Some time ago I upgraded the old box (Alzheimers in the hardware) and jumped to W7HPx64. The new box has an i5-2400 CPU, FWIW. My problem is that it came with VisualC++ 2005 and 2008, but nothing later. VC++ 2008 has two x64 files and one x86 file. …

We recently updated our hardware, so I put W2K SP4 on it. The offspring had been whinging that we "only" had Opera 8.5 and IE6SP1 on the old box, so I put FF 3.0.1 for them, and Opera 9.51 for me. Oh, and kept the IE6SP1. Guess what they migrated …

I use RegCleaner 3.5 by Jouni Vuorio. I'm not convinced that it actually helps the system run better, but so far it's done no harm, and makes [B][U]me[/U][/B] feel better! I first used it on W98FE, then W98SE, and now on W2K Pro. One thing that does impress me is …

G'day helpmeplease08 - Dumb question time: is the email setup IMAP or POP3? Try IMAPSize [URL="http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/"]http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/[/URL] to fairly automatically synchronise multiple mailboxes. The synch may take some download time, but the benefits are there. I don't know of a similar product for POP3. Which is annoying, 'cos my personal email …

G'day lasik - Have you tried the Trinity Rescue Kit [URL="http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12"]http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12[/URL] ? You need to do a bit of homework, but it can unlock all those concealed passwords...:twisted: Gordon.

G'day all - W2K SP4 Rollup1. Oops. I was adjusting a user's registry from the Administrator's account, and forgot to Unload the hive before exiting Regedt32. Now I have "user" and "user.COMPUTER", with nearly identical hives. The problem is that Users and Passwords, and Computer Management>Local Users and Groups>Users can …

G'day. I'm here because I don't know the right question to ask :S I discovered that if I clicked the mouse wheel down, I could get a little icon on a page that looks like a joy-stick icon -- take a Cap'n Cook at the attached image. By simply moving …

Sounds like it might be the Gatina-B worm. Suss this Avast! page [url]http://www.avast.com/eng/win32-gatina-b.html[/url]. Youse really should have a good [B][U]current[/U][/B] anti-virus up and working :icon_idea: Gordon.

Dear People - W2k Pro SP4 on 2.4GHz Intel D845GBV2 with IE6SP1, C:\ is Seagate ST340014A, D:\ (1GB pagefile) and E:\ (79GB) are Western Digital WD800BB-22JHC0. Problem: every so often I get a spew of Perfdisk warnings in my Event Viewer>Application, all the same: Source: Perfdisk; Category: None; Event ID: …

G'day all - I've had a quick search, but didn't see anything. Besides which who would want to do this anyway? :icon_rolleyes: Anyhow... Is there a way to keep My Documents and Settings on E:, my data drive? The only reason I want to do this is my paranoia :scared: …

Dumb question time. Have you tried the Indexing Service?

You could try putting the HDD in a different box, it would have to be a *nix I guess, DOS won't even see the thing. I go along here with jbennet, change the partitions, put in 3 or 4 of them then try formatting them individually, in something different to …
