Abraxas, I can't get the file to execute properly. It flashes very briefly and I can see the 1% in the small window (like it was beginning to...
Strangely enough, if you leave that space in there and let the system boot without you taking any action when the menu screen appears, it will try...
Bmoore1129, you are correct. That space will cause the problem. Space is thanks to the "50 continuous characters without a space" line wrap...
Try booting to a win98 floppy boot disk. If it won't do that, you probably have some motherboard problem, possibly BIOS related. Not generally...
Welcome to the BB Shivaji Datta Let's try the easy way first. Do a search for shelliconcache and when found, delete it and reboot. Many...
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! :D :D And now the real answer. The maximum time using positive integers turns out to be 999. To get an infinite...

It was likely either defective or poor quality from the outset. Inadequate evacuation of all gasses prior to charging is the usual fault. :(...
Yes, that would be a true statement. Heat accelerates the demise of almost all devices due to oxidization. If you enclose a heat producing...
Another means you could resort to, if you have adequate disk free space, is to make a parallel installation of XP into its own folder. I'm...
Type diskmgmt.msc in your RUN window and see what Xp Disk management says about it. Perhaps it will report a drive with unallocated space. If...
Lots of freeware out there for that job. Google using bmp to ico and you'll be set to pick and choose.
You can't remove any Windows system from Add/Remove Programs. Good news though, there are other ways that work well. Easiest is often to use...
Doing it in Safe Mode too?? If not, selectively prune your start-up programs.
Hi RonJim and welcome, I presume you are running XP Pro. I run Xp Home and my stats on the Windows folder are - 2.06 gigs - 14,654 files -...
Eck, I think the problem may well be that tenbob does not have the full version so the file he needs to uninstall with is not available. He...
