• How can I get all my music files into one big file. Windows xp32 IE8 sp3

  I have over 8000 files music and video, and they are scattered all over my computer. I use RealPlayer (free) to download and convert YouTube and then I transfer on WMP11 so I can upload them in my Walkman. I have IE8 Windows xp32 SP3. I'm also an old man who knows little about computers, so I'm always screwing mine trying to decipher what are the instructions. Please... If you can help, give me instructions step by step. You can reply here or to my email... * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Thank you.

  Hi grampsny!

  I assume you want all your music stored in one place? The default value for this should be 'my music' (which is located in the folder 'My Documents').

  1 if your music is broadcast all over the place so I guess the best way to find all these files is to click on Start then on Search

  2. now click on "all files and folders" in the left pane.

  3. in the box under "all or part of the file name" type *.mp3 and press the Search button.  If you acknowledge that all files that appear as your music files, then press and hold CTRL of your keyboard and then left click on each desired music file.

  4. now, with all of the selected files, click change and then click copy.

  5 open the 'my music' folder, and then click Edit and Paste.

  Now repeat steps 1-5 but instead of search search *.mp3, *.wma , (which is the default for Windows Media Player 11 music file).

  I hope this helps, if so please mark as good answer :)

• My windows xp home will not install IE8, SP3, updates, backup NT FixIt it or format partition. It is part of a home network.

  The computer has XP Home. It is an older machine, 266 Celeron, 2 GB of Ram that I built a few years ago. It is part of a home network. It has not been updated for a while so I decided to install SP3, updates, IE 8, BackupNT off CD, FixIT and Partition & Format 2 more large players. It wouldn't install them or partition or format the disks again.  It is clear that I have no idea.  Mike

  Hello

  What is your level of service current pack? Click right my computer, click Properties, on the general tab, he says.

  If this isn't SP1A or SP2 you will not be able to install SP3. You will first need to install SP2.

  How you try to install the SP3? Stand-alone package or Windows Update?

  I must say that I'm not sure why you are unable to install, for example, NTBackup. As said by Harish B N, we need more information about the error you get.

• Since going to IE8, can receive emails with parts joined most

  I previously posted that I couldn't receive an e-mail with an attachment jpg.   I note many messages about the attachments that cannot be opened in these forums.  Please note that this is NOT my situation.  If an email has a certain type of attachment, I simply never the message at all.  This can have a very chilling effect on your business relationships.

  I created now positively going to IE8 is when it all started.  I mean by "positively established" I reinstalled UN/systems of operating (which puts me in IE6), then carefully upgrade (?) to various options (IE7, IE8, SP3) see the problem at startup.  Currently, I use IE8 - SP3 and cannot receive an email that has an attachment of jpg, gif, or pdf format.  There may be others, I don't know of them.

  The only thing that has changed since before is that I now permanently have all this started when I went to IE8.  Yet once again, I learned to IE8 ways (directly from 6 or 7, with SP2 or SP3).

  I prefer not to rehash everything that has been posted in the past on this subject, which, unfortunately, did not provide a response.  I'm not quiet the planned well.  I was hoping just that someone out there would recognize how, or if, IE8 is known to do this and I hope that what to do about it.

  BTW, the use of web-based e-mail does not correct the problem.

  Thanks in advance

  Steve - I UN / reinstalled IE 6,7,8 in all combuibations of SP2 and 3.  No joy.

  I liong suspect Microsoft Security Essentials, although this problem lasts a lot longer tha WHAT MSE has been installed.  Earlier (at the moment I don't not know how), I disabled the MSE and the different de/with or without attachments tried again, with some success.  I also tried different options "Exclude file types" on MSE with inconsistent results.  It bothers me that the solution could be in MSE, when the problem can be started positively, by updating IE7 to 8.  Every time.  And as I have also explained, the problem started long before that I've never heard of MSE.

  I'll do this resolved, although I don't think that it is and continue to observe whether and how behave future unintended messages with attachments.  I can post back with additional if anything specific becomes apparent.

  Thank you all.

• Impossible to update, help!

  I use IE8, SP3 Windows XP home. I can't update manually. When I try, the page says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I also tried to update directly through the web page of Windows update but get the same results. Automatic updates is enabled and has always been. Something is blocking me.

  My system is infected. I removed multiple detections in recent days. I also tried to install the scanner of Windows Live but they downloads are also blocked, they only partially loading and then freeze.

  I use Super Anti-spyware, Malwarebytes Anti-malware and Hitman Pro 3.5 for safety. Everyone has detected and 'removed' several infected items since several days but new detections come every day. I always scan in SafeMode with network and always update before you scan them.

  I tried a system restore to get back a little more than a month and that did not help.

  I'm afraid that since I could not update with Windows, these questions penetrate into a hole.

  Help, please

  Thank you!

• Lost control of the size of the text

  I know this is an old question, but I do not remember (can't find) the solution.

  Suddenly, by default, the size of the text went to the "smallest" on IE8 and OE6.  Size can be changed by the view/text size, but is some parts of the screen and always default to smallest, after the closing/opening OE or IE.

  An excellent suggestion was to check the installation dates of the updates (which I put in automatic mode) compared to the beginning of the problem.  The problem, however, began well after the update.

  Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

• SP3 and IE8 update problems

  Hi, hope someone can help me.  I run a Pentium 4 with Windows XP Media Center Edition machine.  I did the update to IE8 and then install SP3 thing that other people have had problems with.  I had bad too, so I uninstalled IE8 but I got in trouble, others have had with it.  To cut a long story short, I managed to go back to IE7 and recovered my settings for this.  I uninstalled SP3 and got my machine about how it was.  Now I want to install SP3 but Windows update will not propose it me as he seems to think that I have already installed.  The thing is, I want to run this computer in my home LAN, and my son computer Vista can't see my XP machine.  I want to install the LLD file but when I download this fix it install as it says I already have a newer version on my machine, which I don't have!  So it seems to me that I have to get rid of the registry entry, or anything which indicates all of the Microsoft network that I always have these things that I once installed, but no longer have.  If someone knows a way to do it, I would be very grateful for your advice.

• Cannot be opened in the control panel internet options. XP home sp3 ie8

  I've used several malicious programs (housecall, MS Security Essentials, Malwarebytes) so my computer has to cringe.

  I also tried several programs Hot Fix to read other questions here. Nothing seems to work, so far.

  I can't remove sp3 or ie8 in Add/remove menu. The option 'remove' for these aren't there.

  I can access the net, but impossible to download anything. My toolbar is missing and I don't have a tools option. HOWEVER, when I use FIREFOX, all downloads are working well and the toolbars are present.

  So. Is the problem with XP? SP3? or ie8?

  Would appreciate any help. BTW. I use "Disk Cleanup" to delete temp files more net and such. I also use disk defrag very often.

  Thanks in advance,

  Jim

  Guess I'll answer my own question.

  The problem is the installation of ie8 BEFORE sp3! The solution is to remove sp3 FIRST, then remove ie8. None of them are simple. Especially when there is NO delete option in the menu Setup/add/remove Control Panel! SP3 (service pack 3) is written so that when it is installed, it cannot be deleted. Not completely true (TG). See below.

  Before you start, I used the following: use 'disk cleanup' several times. It will remove the "accumulation" temp Internet files and much more. Do a search for "Housecall" by Trend Micro and run their program of malware. Also run the program "Microsoft Security Essentials". Also run program "Malwarebytes". I felt 'safe', after completing these 3 programs, my computer has been completely 'clean' Malware!

  After removing sp3 & ie8 the computer comes back to ie7 sp2. NOW you can install sp3 FIRST then install ie8. All the functions have been restored. Tip. After installing ie8 set all THE security level for "default". Change levels if necessary.

  It CAN be done, because I did it myself clean my computer with XP 32 bit. There's hours and hours of research and a LOT of patience! Follow the links for XP Misrosoft get information HOW to enter the mode of elimination of sp3. Tip. When finally he did think your home 'free. ' You are not. The program will tell you that MANY other programs will be deleted also. This isn't the problem. They'll come back later when sp3 & ie8 are reattached. The program will automatically 'delete'... up to a point. And then stop. It will then say something like; cannot find the file (the file is). The program to keep it open. If you quit the program, you will have to start all over again! Click Start, search, and enter the name of the file, the program is looking for. Once you've found where is found the file, enter the program. The program will accept the news and then go to the next "file not found". Do the thing to search again... There are MANY of them. It's a good idea to write this file the program to research and write down where the file is located. SP3 was finally 'removed '.

  Tip. I had to look for "hidden files" to find some of the files.

  Removal of ie8. I ran into the same problems as above and more. More files to search for. The last part was the most difficult. The program wanted "ieencode.dll.000 (it is zero, zero, zero).» There is NOT a file in the computer by that name! I had to go in ie8 in my "program files" to find 'ieencode.dll' and 'Rename' to 'ieencode.dll.000 '. IE8 has finally been removed!

  I went to Microsoft.com, and then under 'downloads' or 'support' found 'service pack' info and installed sp3. Once sp3 has been installed FIRST (!) I installed ie8.

  I started to have the "automatic updates" after that. 75 I think. I have just "installed custom" them. 1 single update was not installed. Something KB. The reason why it has not installed is because he was already in another place called "power shell. You can only (the thing kb) find in Add/Remove programs. It doesn't have an option 'Remove', but once I saw it was in another program (and a LOT more files would disappear) I decided to NOT go down that road... again.

  My computer is in PLACE and works better than ever.

  Good luck!

• Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

  I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

  While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

  I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

  Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

  I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

  I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

  I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

  This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

  I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

  I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

  I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

  I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

  And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

  Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

  Thank you

  When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

  If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

  Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

  Courtesy of JoseIbarra

  You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

  Here's how:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  RC. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  ===============

  as for the other problems:

  did you use Registry cleaners?

  These can damage your system

  You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

  ===============

  Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

  During the last week, I had 3 systems of Windows XP with SP3 & IE8 installed for service & and/or repairs. Update of Microsoft in the last week has been remove IE8 only to install IE8 again. Anyone can shed some light on why?

  (1) all XP operating systems are 32-bit.

  (2) IE8 was downloaded Microsoft as an installation for XP 32 bit offline.

  (3) IE8 has been properly installed on all occasions.

  (4) Microsoft update removes installed IE8 then causes other updates to fail, restart the PC and then to reinstall IE8.

  (5) frustrating - so I do not install IE8 at this stage - allow update of Microsoft to provide the service.

• problem updating SP3 after a reboot at the end of the update process, IE8 will not start

  I have no problem updated from sp2 to sp3. However after a reboot at the end of the update process, IE8 will not hold. When I click on ie, computer absolutely crashes. Help, please

  Restart your computer and if restart is ok are not trying to run IE8. Go to add and remove and remove IE8 and your computer will be re-established on IE7.  If all is ok so far restart your computer once more and if everything is ok at this point you can download IE8 again.

• How to determine which were installed the SP3 and IE8

  I'm working on a friend's computer troubleshooting. I plan to roll back of IE8 to IE7 (or it might even be IE6). However, I want to just try this if I know for sure that IE6 has been upgraded AFTER SP3 has been applied.

  I am trying to determine where these updates have been made. I thought that if I went into Add / Remove Programs, I would get this information here, but alas, he's not here.

  So, what is the method for determining when IE6 or IE7 has been upgraded to IE8 and how do I determine when SP3 has been applied?

  Thank you!
