Windows (All Versions)

OK, I'm running Windows XP and my iPod is not detected when I plug it in. The only things that
I could guess are wrong are that I recently had a trojan, known as BackDoor-AWI and that my router
flaked out and I have no internet on the computer in question now. I'm not sure what happened,
but for some reason, McAfee is telling me that it's all screwed up on startup. So it's not
even running anymore. My computer does recognize USB keys, but will not see my iPod for some
reason. Any ideas?...

I heard it is possible to run more than one computers on the same serial of Windows. I also heard
that it can be registered and use all the functions of any legal copy of Windows. Lets say I have 4
computers in my house and don't want to pay $800 for windows on each one if I build them all
myself. I can just put same serial on all of them. But I heard this is also breaking the EULA
agreement with Microsoft which redeems this being illegal or improper use of windows. I would like
to hear your sides on this, or the whole truth behind this. If so does this mean somebody...

Hi, I'm tired of wasting so much time on a site when I have to reinstall Windows from scratch.
Want to speed up the process a little since I have to install Windows XP, any Service Packs, Norton
Antivirus and Microsoft AntiSpyware for the computers. I want to create images of good working
Window states, but have some questions. 1. How much faster would this be compared to reinstalling
everything manually? I will be doing this from an external hard drive. 2. What are the chances of
an image not working assuming that the image created is good? I heard that these ...

Okay, I am halfway to being able to add the My Videos Folder (the only of the special My folder I
really use) to the start panel. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, make
sure you have the new XP start menu not classic, then open your start menu. The right side is the
start panel, and it should have links to things like My Documents, My Music, My Computer, etc. The
only one you can't add to it (you add features to it from the properties page) is the My Videos
File. No, my method: 1) Knowing Windows as well as I do, first thing after ex...

In this post I am going to give you a tip on which multimedia players are the best. The vlc player,
is a very successful and useful programm. It will play much more video and music formats, which
others like windows media player won't. Itunes. Nearly everyone knows itunes. Its used to
upload music to your ipod, or to hear music. Well itunes is quite good because of its music store
built in. Using a sort of internet browser in it, it will show music you can download from apple.com
for cheap prices such as 1 euro or 10 for a big album. So in the end, if you have bo...

I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but...

I was upgrading some software and came across a corrupt file that halted the installation process. I
went to see what was wrong with the file, and failed to manually delete it. I tried moving
(cut&paste) it to another location, and the installation succeeded. However, the file is still on my
drive, taking up a KB of space. I know that's not a lot, but where am I supposed to put it? In a
folder created especially for all the corrupt files on my computer? /blink.gif"

This is a .NET Application I initially built for my own needs and am now thinking of releasing it as
a shareware. But, before I do that, I thought of getting some valuable feedback from you guys.
Basically, the software turns your system volume up or down attempting to match the sound level
chosen by you. It only works on Microsoft Windows Vista, taking advantage of the new architecture
which allows detection of the volume level. I came across a software that could do something like
this for XP and older operating systems. But, it required sound cards with meter control...

I'm also experincing this issue on my desktop and my laptop. I'm wondering if there's
some crappy update MS released that is really screwing up the system clocks? Everytime I reboot my
system, CMOS and Windows says it's 6:44 (or 6 whatever) PM when it is really 10:44 PM. I'll
reset the time in CMOS as well and boot into Windows to find it is 6:44 AGAIN! In SuSE, the time is
correct! I'm having a similar issue on my laptop! WTF is going on?!? I've NEVER had anything
crazy as this happen before! F...

Ok so for a long time I had my dual boot working great, windows and ubuntu. But 2 days ago my
windows required a wipe and clean install because of some issues, like it usually happens after 8
months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP
install CD. Then assigned a partition for windows (same size) and left the ubuntu and swap partition
intact. But of course, windows deletes GRUB and replace it with their boot info, so now I can't
boot ubuntu (I can't choose). How can I reinstall GRUB without having to reinstal...
