1. Just snooping around WINDOWS I found a number of UNINSTALLs for things WINDOWS has put in in the past. Can I delete them?
2. Also a LOT of files like: KBXXXXXX.log. Important enough to save?

It's the opposite maddening situation. When I attempt to shut down OE it ALWAYS shows the "Do you want to compact the files?" A yes answer, I believe, starts the compacting...

New problem -- When shutting down, OE offers to compact the email, if only I click on OK (or similar). When I click to let it compact my email it starts and then declines to go ahead because the "OE...

The machine first using my WXP Home (upgrade) is a dead duck.

The WXPH is not an OEM CD.

How does MSoft handle machines destroyed with the original XP on it?

Tnx for reply

Gift machine (old) has W98SE. I'd like to upgrade it to XP Home with the real XP Home CD. I've used it once on another (old) machine. Rumor has it that the CD can't be used for more than one machine....

During bootup my personal machine comes up with the PASSWORD window. The machine doesn't have a password; so a simple click on the CANCEL gets it started.
I'd like the machine to not show the window...

It was where you said it would be. Thank you.

Downloaded TweakUI for XP. Tweak used to be in Control Panel, but now with XP I can't find it.

Where did my new Tweak go?

Weird to use when the keyboard acts so strangely. Thank you both above for your replies.
It turns out the brand new keyboard was defective in a way to reverse the action of Caps Lock for alfa...

Clean downgraded W2000 to W98 (don't ask).. All is well except -- I can't type in numerals from either the main keyboard or the numbers pad. Keys respond with the shifted character (5 --> %). During...

I can't get into Safe Mode consistently. With my older machine I'd listen for the POST completion bell and a key click would do it. WINDOWS XP, 3.2 Ghz goes fast and I suspect that one better hit...

Darn! Where once getting into Safe Mode was a 'no sweat', now I can't seem to be fast enough at the right time to do the F8 thing. My BIOS has a "quick boot" (I think that means it bypasses the...

Thank you both for the advice to error on the side of caution. The site cited was extremely useful for pushing me through the logic of what-to-heck-to-buy. If anyone is planning to buy a new machine...

Everyone else likely knows it but I was shocked, shocked, to find that the less expensive machines do not always come with an AGP socket to upgrade the display driver. The machine comes with an Intel...

Two grandkids bought VAIO machines with the display being driven by Intel drivers with shared memory on the motherboard. This seems to be inadequate for the better games they like to play. In one...

Can't get the XP HOME machine to exhibit the "Help & Support" feature after clicking on START. Is there a setting I'm missing?
