  1. All saved html & htm files absolutely REFUSE to display their icons...I've tried reinstalling IE, reinatalling SP2, uninstalling & reinstalling GoLive & FrontPage, resetting file associations via the "open files with" dialogs etc...

     

    Frustrated to say the least!

     

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated..

     

    Thanks!

  2. 1. Uninstall the NVidia drivers through the Control panel Add/Remove applet. Do NOT reboot when prompted.

     

    2. Uninstall the Display Adaptor from within Device Manager.

     

    3. Reboot into Safe Mode.

     

    4. Delete all the files in C:\WINDOWS\system32 that begin with "nv" (like nv_disp.dll, nview.dll etc. etc.)

     

    5. Reboot into normal XP, then double click the Dell 44.82 executable file.

     

    6. Reboot, then install DirectX 9.0b (even if it's present on your system.

     

    7. Reboot, and reinstall your DVD app (I suggest NVDVD 2.55 for any NVidia graphics card instead of the outdated version of PowerDVD/WinDVD that Dell supplies).

     

    Post back after the process...

    The Microsoft Exchange scanning portion of SAV 9 really annoyed me. Would not let me delete messages because it was scanning. Not sure if previous SAV's were working correctly before but this annoyed me so much that I disabled it.

     

    Assuming you use Outlook or other POP mail, does the new for version 9 "Internet Mail" snap-in do the job after you disable the Exchange/Outlook snap-in?

     

    A comparision of SAV Corporate 8 or 9 against McAfee Corporate (?) would be great...


  4. Hi folks, was using Symantec Corporate Antivirus 8.1, just upgraded to version 9.

    Tried an upgrade as well as uninstalling v 8.1, then installing v 9, in both cases v 9 absolutely refuses to load the Auto-Protect (realtime scanning) feature.

    I read a few Symantec articles targeted towards Corporate v 7.6 & NAV 2002/2003, and duly did various things like deleting the contents of VirusDefs folder & running Intelligent Updater; disabling the XP Firewall (apparently helps with timing issues at boot), and also toggled SAV Corporate's Auto Protect start feature from "at system start" to "when SAV loads" back & forth.

    No such luck; SAV Corporate v.9 will NOT load auto protect, and keeps popping a box up "auto protect is not enabled". Here's the Event Log #22 error -

    Any hints?

     

    Next question, in SAV 8.1, it offers to load snap-ins for Exchange/Outlook & Lotus Notes. SAV 9 offers the same two, as well as "internet mail - POP/SMTP", which pretty much just seems to scan ports 110 & 25 outgoing & incoming, and also adds the tray icon when scanning incoming/outgoing mail like NAV 2003/2004.

     

    I have a standalone system with XP_SP2 & Outlook 2003 (non groupware client with POP/SMTP mail), so which do I use - the Exchange/Outlook plugin or the Internet Mail plugin or both?

     

    Thanks...

  5. I have the old hard drive off my laptop, and need to access my old Documents & Settings folder, as I need some files from the Desktop, My Documents etc.

     

    My login name, password etc. (always on an administrator account) are the same on both drives, but I cannot access the old Documents & Settings folder on the previous drive when I connect it externally.

     

    I can no longer boot of the old drive; is there a way to retrieve the entire contents of the old Documents & settings folder?

     

    Thanks in advance...I must've forgotten to back up the contents of my old desktop, and now I need those files urgently...

     

     


  6. Hi, how does one reinstall 98 from the CAB files?

     

    He also have the Win 98SE CD handy, if that's possible to use to reinstall WITHOUT losing his existing programs/settings/e-mail.

     

    Thanks - he (and I) have no idea how to back up/export e-mail from Lotus Notes 5.05...LOL...


  7. Friend of mine is having a problem with the TCP/IP stack on his Win 98SE system...uninstalling & reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol did not solve the problem...he has absolutely no connection to the internet at all...he runs DHCP on cable internet...the problem surfaced all of a sudden.

     

    The error messages are -

     

    TCP/IP not installed

    Winsock error

    Network transport error

     

    Short of reinstalling Win 98, any command line hints/fixes?

     

    He has to run Win 98 for some reason...

     

    Thanks in advance.


  8. Hi all,

     

    The Catalyst 4.1 & 4.2 packages (as well as the seperate driver & control panel packages) will NOT install on a Sapphire 9600 Pro Atlantis under XP Pro SP1.

     

    Halfway during setup, I get an error message stating (error - islayer etc.).

     

    I can extract the 4.2 driver package & manually install the drivers via Device manager, but I also want to install the Control panel...

     

    What gives? I'd like to try the Catalyst drivers before I start experimenting with Omega drivers...

     

    Clean install of XP_SP1, and the Sapphire Pro 9600 is the only video card I have.

     

    I also have the latest inf files for the AGP etc., as well as Direct X 9.0b installed.

     

    I created a brand new additional Admin account, and tried installing from there as well...no go.

    Also tried after copying an NT based "islayer.dll" into my Windows/System32 directory - still no luck.

     

    I also noticed an additional error message 'could not find aticim.dll'.

     

    I finally tried Omega Driver v 2522 - still no luck.

     

    System specs-

     

    Dell 400SC

    Intel 875P chipset, using latest INF package

    Sapphire Radeon Pro 9600

    Twin IBM Deskstar 185GB hard drives

    Integrated audio 5.1, latest Dell drivers

    Gigabit LOM Ethernet

    4 x256MB Samsung PC3200

    Latest Dell System BIOS

    WinXP Pro + SP1 + all updates/patches/DX9.0b/MMC/NET Framework


  9. Here is what I need -

     

    1. 128MB (can't justify the 256MB cards right now).

    2. AGP interface with DVI

    3. QUIET...

    4. <$125.00

     

    I've seen a few fanless cards with heatsinks, are they reasonably stable/cool running?

    I guess not having a fan would make them a lot quieter...

     

    I'm not a harcore gamer, but play the occasional Blackhawk Down for a couple hours at a time.

     

    I've been told to stay away from the FX5200 & Radeon 9200, what I've researched so far points me to the FX5600 & 5700 Ultra, and the ATI 9600 & 9600 Pro.

     

    Thanks for the help in advance.


  10. Seems that Microsoft VM uses less resources than Sun's Java browser plugin...any thoughts?

     

    Also, does SP2 (final or build 2055) break Microsoft VM?

     

    Don't remember where, but I think I came across the fact that build 2055 disables Java applets from loading/displaying in IE6_2055 regardless of security settings...was wondering if this will also hold true for SP2 Final.

     

    Thanks...
