    Thank you for your comments, Midknyte.

    All: I am having a difficult time finding the UBCD download. I've followed your links, but I keep ending up somewhere where I must pay for software. All I...

    Thanks, Photolady. I'm guessing -- since you and others go to the trouble of using something such as UBCD -- that simply going into Windows Explorer and deleting a Windows folder isn't quite going...
  3. Problems reinstalling WinXP Pro -- Several issues

    To be brief, I have one PC here on which I am attempting to reinstall WinXP Pro. However, I am experiencing multiple problems:

    1.) I created a slipstream DVD so I could install WinXP Pro with...
  4. Account Log-In screen freezes (or is GONE) . . . forced Restarts

    Well, I've alluded to this problem before, but it continues to haunt me.

    There is no rhyme or reason to this -- sometimes everything is fine when I return to my PC, and I can select my account...

    Sorry . . . it took me a lot longer to get back to this, than I thought it would. My kidneys decided to go south and I've been on dialysis, which eats up a lot of time :P

    This is really maddening...

    Checking the system info via Control Panel > System, it says I am using Win 7 Pro 32-bit. I forgot to change it in my sig block when I reinstalled 32-bit.

    Interestingly, System info also shows I...

    Thanks, all -

    When I first posted and indicated that 90% of RAM was being used, I only had MS Outlook and Firefox open.

    Right now, those are again the only 2 items in Task Manager. Info on RAM...

  10. Microsoft requires log-in just to use Win7 parental controls ??

    Per my subject title - why in the world must I sign in with Microsoft just to be able to use Parental Controls from within Control Panel in Windows 7 (Pro) ??

    Thanks,
    - Dave G.
  11. Thanks, Steve and jdc. It must be IMAP, I...

    Thanks, Steve and jdc.

    It must be IMAP, I sometimes get a message that IMAP has closed a connection.

    Still going over the info from jdc's links . . . I'll post back in a bit.

    cheers,

    I am using MS Office 2010 on a Win 7 Pro PC. In Outlook, I try to keep the Inbox pared down, either filing emails in appropriate folders, or deleting them from the Inbox. When I delete them, I go...

    Well, I realize that, but the info on M$'s download page(s) indicated that they were standalone versions. I dunno ... <shrug> :confused:

  15. [Inactive] HELP!! Cannot remove the "FBI virus"

    First of all, I did a forum search for the "FBI virus" and did not get any pertinent results.

    I have Googled this, but so far have not found anything to actually get this removed.

  16. Hi jdc, Thank you for the reply. I must...

    Hi jdc,

    Thank you for the reply. I must reiterate, I never did set up any kind of "sleep" or "hibernate" mode to be implemented. And, several times I have reviewed things in both BIOS and...

    Sorry for my "leave of absence" . . . I've been through the wringer with a lot of things in addition to PC problems.

    Suffice it to say, it appears the keyboard/mouse problem is solved, and...

    Yep, agreed, which is what I'll do. Now if I can just figure out this stupid "sleep mode"/"refusal to wake" issue . . .
  19. Well, heck !!! The Logitech mouse stopped...

    Well, heck !!! The Logitech mouse stopped working again. It has a new battery in it, but when you turn the mouse's power switch ON, the scanning LED lights up for a moment, then goes out. Similar...

    Yep, I switched the USB plug from the hub to the PC front panel port, still didn't work. But plugging into the back of the PC (the mobo USB ports), both the mouse and the keyboard are now working.

    The mouse receiver was originally plugged into a 4-port USB hub, which was in turn plugged into a 7-port hub. Yes, not good -- so it is now plugged into the 7-port hub, which is plugged into the USB...
  22. Hi Doc, Thanks for your reply. The keyboard...

    Hi Doc,

    Thanks for your reply. The keyboard IS wired; I'll try out the wireless mouse on another PC shortly. Weird thing is how they both stopped working at the same time.
  23. Thanks, jdc. I've looked over the mobo, and it...

    Thanks, jdc. I've looked over the mobo, and it does not look like any caps are bad. However, I don't imagine damage is always evident.

    The "sleep mode" issue is one thing, but I just don't...
  24. Can't wake PC after "sleep" -- now mouse/kybd won't work

    For several weeks, my PC has been putting itself asleep, even though I never set up power management to do anything like that. I've been in both BIOS and Control Panel and made sure nothing was set...

    That makes sense, jdc. Which means, I don't have the clamshell case with the Key for the Home & Student version. Guess it's time for the Magical Jellybean . . .
