New To XAMMP - Having Start-up Problems

First off, I would like to say thanks for taking the time to read my thread... Er then I won't
have a second or any others, I will just get to my questions. Okay, so I recently noticed that my
web browser windows when I minimized them to the task bar just disappeared. They seemingly minimzed
to a spot that I couldn't see to the down and right of the start button. I know how to get
around this in a couple of ways if I have to... But I was just curious to see if anyone knew how to
fix it a better way? My "solutions" to fix it are: 1) If I hit ALT+TAB at the s...

I have a 2.8 Dual core machine with a 17 inch monitor, 2 hard drives, a dvd burner, and a 350w power
supply. I have an 800w rated UPS, which according to the paper is supposed to give me around 8
minutes of power during a blackout. This is more of an issue than for most people, as here we have
an average of 8 power cuts a day during the 8 or 9 months of summer weather. The problem is that my
UPS doesn't really help any, because in a power cut it will go off as well for a second, and
then it comes back to life, but in that second my computer has gone off, and even tho...

The other day my computer went into it's little energy save setting where the screen goes black.
When I touched the mouse to get the screen back on(like always) nothing happened. I heard the
computer running but no screen. So I rebooted the computer. When it came back online, desktop icons
were gone as well as the files that went with them. /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"
emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> I could not even do a restore to get them back. Any
ideas what went wrong? Any ideas on how I avoid this from happening again?...

I have a problem when trying to burn audio cd's with Nero. When I reach the place where it asks
me to "add" what I want to burn, it doubles the size of what I am burning. In other words if what I
am burning is 55 minutes, when I add it to Nero it automatically becomes 110 If it was 45 minutes it
automatically becomes 90 minutes. Of course then the file is too large to burn as it exceeds the
capacity of the disk. Has anyone had this problem before???...

I have a problem with Xammp and don't know if anyone here can help me out. The people at the
Xammp forum arent very helpful, but I got a little info out of them. My Xammp worked at first when
I went to localhost/xammp, but then for some reason, it didn't. Come to find out, it is because
something was deleting it's temp files, least that's what they say at Xammp's forum. I
run a program called Clean-Up! that gets rid of cookies and temp files and such, but there is no way
to configure it to not get rid of Xammps files. But I was wondering somethin...

I have downloaded a couple of PHP scripts and have tried to open the with XAMMP in PHP but it
isn't working. The page pops up for a quick second, then disappears. I have no clue what is
going on. I am opening it with the PHP.exe file in XAMMP, is that what I am supposed to be using?
When it comes up for that second, you can see the writing, but like I said, it just disappears. Not
sure what I'm doing wrong, probably something simple. ...

I used msconfig to delete a couple non-essential programs from the startup. I've done this many
times before and never had problems with it. However, the other day I tried it and when I rebooted
my computer, almost nothing worked. Flash drives wouldn't recognize, the sound card in device
manager was supposedly working properly, but if i tried to play anything it would tell me there was
no sound card installed. The system slowed to a crawl, my virus scan, firewall, and pgp wouldn't
start. I repaired the installation off of the original windows cd, and it fixed...

I have had to sign up for dial up again due to my new place of residence not having broadband as
yet. I installed a brand new modem purchased from PC World in the uk (yeah i know bad place to buy
stuff from). Anyway the problem I have at the moment is that my machine keeps shutting down when I
am online. Sometimes it happens often maybe after being on for about 3-5 mins and other times it
takes a while. Could this be a heat issue? I took out my sound card just now as was not sure if it
was too much power being drawn from the mb and that seemed to help for a while. ...

I just bought a new FireLite UBS Portable Hard Drive and I did everything that the directions told
me to do: plug the USB cord in the computer and the FireLite PHD, flip the switch to USB (so that it
will take power from the computer). I am using a Mac PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.3.8 I don't know
if the hard drive is defective or what. I don't have this problem with other hard drives that
take power from the USB port I don't know if I should but the power adaptor or not. If anyone
can help me I would appreciate it....

I bought a 16x internal DVD +/- RW/ +/-R Dual Layer I/O Magic drive a few months ago. I am having
some troubles getting the drive to read and burn at anything above 4x. I currently have Windows XP
Home Edition installed on my PC. If anyone has any ideas as to why my drive doesnt seem to want to
work at top speed please let me know. Thanks alot...
