I don't see anything in the Event Viewer. I've downloaded all the SP's for XP and Office, reduced the graphics hardware acceleration, turned off auto save and even turned off Windows Restore Point. So far nothing has helped?
This happens in Outlook or Word. I never really mess with other...
I've thought of that, too. I do have a touchpad. Sometimes, it is related to the touchpad, but most of the time - it seems to be at at timed intervals which made me think of the autosave.
Thanks
I recently purchased a new cd-rom, otherwise I would have done the updates long ago to see if that helped? I finally just completed all the Office updates so I'll see what happens. Shouldn't take long, one or two emails should let me know.
Funny, it doesn't seem to jump around while I type...
Actually, it's a Dell Latitude laptop C600. Not really new, but it is a Dell!!! I got it used and it's done this ever since I've had it.
Thanks for asking....
Can't find any info on this annoying problem. Maybe there is a sp fix for Office2k? I had to finally change my Outlook to not use Word for editing, but I still have the freaking curser jumping up a line or so in the middle of a sentence totally screwing up my typing and closing/opening emails...
Thank you so much for this tip! My sister and I have both upgraded to the newer free AVG antivirus and we have both been having weird problems with our computers ever since. I thought it was just me, then she said she upgraded, had problems, then removed it and all was well. She dowloaded...
I'm not s;ure how all that works, but it seemed to me that if Fry's today price is $129.99 they should offer that same price and then still give me the $40 instant rebate they had for the compusa customers. I didn't feel like that was out of line or I wouldn't have asked about it? Do stores...
OH MY GOD!!!!!! I left Fry's because the line was 5 or 6 hrs to check out and ran by Comp USA. I was able to get the PNY nVidia Ge-Force4 Ti-4200 for around $60 after a $30 rebate!!!!! Here's how it works:
Fry's today only price $129.99 - $30 MIR
Comp USA $169.99 - $40 INSTANT Rebate -...
Spy and Noggin,
You are both right!! I went to Outlook at Microsoft and spent some time searching for the particular problem. I went back up to work and tried to open Outlook (it was Outlook 97, sorry) as the user without administrative rights and recreated the error message:
"Program is...
Thank you all for this great advice. It just seems bizarre that Outlook 2002 (the particular program) would not open for a user account. This is Microsoft with Microsoft, pretty basic I would think.
I need to figure out a basic set-up method for all these users we are upgrading. I didn't...
Oh yea, one more thing. The user could see the program but when she tried to execute it, the error was something to the effect that she didn't have permission to use it, I think. The way I fixed it was to make her a member of the local administrators group. I do remember than when I removed...
Thank you all so much. And thank you for giving me a rating! This will really help me out a lot!
I forwarded this forum to my supervisor's boss. She seems more open to other ideas and advice. I think they are planning on using 128Mg of memory. Do you think we should have more? W2KPro...
We are just starting to use 2kPro on some dexktops and I found that if I log on as myself and install applications, then log on as the user - they can't open the software. I'm a bit rusty with the 2000 stuff. Should I give them certain user rights, do they need to be a local administrator? Is...
That was the first thing I tried to do, but it won't even let me go into the bios! When I hit DEL it says to hit F10, so when I do that - it stops saying "entering stand-by" and only says, "compaq". I can't boot off a floppy or boot off the Symantec systemworks cd-rom. Any more ideas?
My neighbor asked me to look at her computer and I was hoping for some insight from you all.
She has a Presario 5000. When you turn it on "Compaq" shows on the monitor, then it says, "entering standby mode." It keeps looping like this non-stop. I put in a windows 98 startup disk and nothing...
You guys may already know this, but I found some interesting tidbits regarding this board and ddr memory at Mushkin : I copied this from Mushkins Soyo Dragon Plus info
"Notes:
*1 POST problems with NEC-based DIMMs for PC2100 operation with the original BIOS, more below.
*2 More than 128 MB...
:( Maybe one of you guys could help me out here. I am having problems getting the sound to work. I'm about to go insane. I'm going to liink you up to the discussion on this.
PLEASE help me!!!! Love you guys!!!
TGirl "Soyo dragon and sound problems"
:confused: Did you ever solve your sound problem? I am having the EXACT same problem. I found the newest c-media audio driver on the soyo.tw website. And downloaded it, but there are no executable files and I'm just not sure what to do with it? I also downloaded c-medias 3 files for the...
Well thanks for all the info. After messing with that mobo (asus) all day, we figured out - thankfully through anandtech's forums - that unless you have the bios v 1005 or later, it won't let you use the xp. You can't even get it to boot to flash it. I guess you have to put in an older cpu to...
My husband just bought this mobo at Frys along with an xp1800. Do you guys like this board? I really cannot find out much about it. It is not the dual. Is it nice and stable? I see it only has 2 ddr slots, though! He got it for $79. Ireally wanted the Iwill333 but he got this before I...
Well thanks a lot, guys. My husband just ran out and bought an Asus A7M266 at Frys along with an xp1700 (lady accidentally gave him an 1800!). I really don't know ANYTHING about this board except it only has 2 DDR slots!!! The Frys person (and we all know how knowledgable and helpful they...
I have the SX 830 and love it. So easy to work around in with all that space! I was wondering if anyone knows - Mine came with the 300W power supply. Will this psu be sufficient to upgrade to one of the new KT266 mobos with an xp1700 or so cpu? I really don't want to change the psu out, if...
:confused: My MSI Pro 2A just bit the dust so I'm shopping for a new mobo. I'll probably upgrade my 1G TBird to an xp1700 or so. The case I'm using, which I really like, is the Antec SX830 that came with a 300W power supply. I don't really want to change that out, so I was wondering which of...
The same thing just happened to me too!!! I have the msi pro 2a and now I'm looking for a replacement. I also have a 1G Thunderbird. I was just going to find something and stick with my pc133 memory, but with the 2100 ddr soooo cheep, $32 for a 256 stick through crucial - I'm rethinking this...
Thanks all. Did either of you have the same thing where it almost looks like you are seeing the actual video card plugged into the agp slot on your monitor's screen? Someone told me to disable the power mgmt (first one pcmi? or something in the bios. Windows did not like this at all. It went...
Is it the Fuzzy logic III your talking about? So you guys are saying that only the processor bus runs at 200? I thought I read that with the newer bios you could run your system bus at 110 instead of 100. I'm totally new at this and am trying to use this system as a learning tool but I don't...
I have the pro2a and mine does too. The screen goes black with a few bits of color. when I hit alt/ctl/del the screen is barely readable and I have to shut off system to reboot. It's almost as if i'm seeing the video card plugged into the agp slot. I can see the gold notches all along the...
I'm totally confused on this. I have the MSI pro2a with a 1G Athlon. Right now I have it set to 100 x 10. How would I set it up to take advantage of the 200 supposed fsb. My choices are 100 or 132 and there is a blank to enter this in the bios. How should I set this up to take full...
Pyramix, I meant that before I fried my bios, My Gladiac card was showing as an Elsa Card. Should have clarified that. W2000 only sees my video card as a PCI with either driver. Just thought that was strange. See, I didn't know exactly what that nvidia driver was for, just assumed it meant...
I already reset the jumpers to see if it would help to reboot - no. But thanks for the advise, I had to call a friend and my mb manual for instructions.
I have two odd questions. I have an Elsa Gladiac agp card. When I installed the nvidia drivers off the MSI cdrom it now says that it is an...
FYI, just ordered one from Badflash.com. Was only $23.00 for new programmed chip w/ my version choice. Price covers everything. I thought this was so cool!!
I was dual booting 98 and 2000 Pro and mine kept freezing up too, especially in 2000. Figured I didn't have it tweaked enough so did a Live Bios update - MISTAKE, DON'T DO IT!!! There are dozens of us who did this fried the bios. I still don't know what the deal is but a friend of mine who...
I'm not sure of your model, but I have an MSI pro2-a (socket A) with a 1G TBird. I couldn't figure out what to get, either. I ended up going to Crucial.com which has KILLER prices right now. Just type in your mobo info and it will show you exactly what you need. I just got another stick of...
Pyramix, aren't we funny!! I tried calling msi about 15 times and left messages. Their support SUCKS!!!! I was so freaked out and all I get is a stupid recording. What kind of tech support is that? I even left a dire message to no avail. I'm going to go ahead and ask for my free chip...
