Fonts, icons, program too big windows XP Home Edition

EU clean and do fresh install of XP. I couldn't cope with the larger fonts and icons, the real problem is: opening Adobe Photo shop elements, windows easily top 1/3 of the screen, and I have a big screen. Tools etc always join and cannot move b ack back.

I set my screen to the smallest resolution, 800 x 600, the fonts are set to normal, in two places & I can't find any others.

  • Solved... I have a program with "Program too big to fit in memory" errors... works well with XP Pro.

    The program is that 'Kies' downloaded Samsung download Samsung support site we...  I tried 2 versions and have downloaded many times... This isn't a corrupt executable.  Downloads and runs correctly in XP SP3.  In Windows 7, it will drop immediately with a message window back "program too big to fit in memory.

    Solved my problem.

    I tried to download the installer with 3 different browsers... ie, firefox, chrome... even with the three results.  Tried to download with AV (bitdefender) disabled... same result.
    Finally I aircrcrack setup of kies for my samsung tab, renamed the kies_ * .exe to kies_ * .zip, emailed the zip on my computer laptop windows 7, renamed the file to an exe, run the file... success!
    Windows 7 (implementation network or security), (or maybe something in bitdefender), is clearing of the (probably the header) file during the download process.

    I have a Dell with Windows XP Home Edition system that uses the internet connection. Friday, he had a problem with images in line being "pixel-ed", which means that the image was blurred and boxes. So I did a restore of the system back as much as she would in July and concluded that the IAF has a program called accelerator that had been implemented to go faster, but eventually would make very good images. Then, I got that part fixed but now a game that I play "Mahjongg" won't play right and when I go to the area "help and support" to try to reschedule, so it don't open even now. Can someone help me please? Thank you

    Thanks for the help. I returned and reinstalled everything, even if it was already installed and now everything works.

  • CAP - error! 907: given the icon is too big

    Hi all

    As the title says, I've just added a file icon my project (Eclipse-> properties of Blackberry project-> resources-> files of icons)

    The error I get is-

    Error! 907: given the icon are too big: 20751 bytes

    The size is 20 KB.

    Is there a limit on the maximum size of the file icon?

    Thank you

    Teja

    This looks like a project or installation of the BlackBerry plugin has gone corrupt. Try to add the icon itself to a new project and see if it is supported. If so, then its your project. If it isn't then there may be your workspace.

    Try the same thing in a new workspace. If it fails in the new workspace, you may need to reinstall.

  • problems with Windows xp home edition

    Hello everyone. I have this sony vaio PCV-RS310 which has been ravaged by some kind of malware... well I know this is an old machine all standards but I like it a lot and it had Windows XP Home Edition installed (my favorite OS) and I tried to revive, but recently he lost power while I was trying to do a repair of a few boot floppies that I did from the microsoft Web site. When that power is is relit, I had more access to the usual screen that I had at the start. I do not see when I turn it on is the logo of sony for a few seconds, followed by:

    And then "press any key to restart", and when I do the same process again. I tried to do a restore of the configuration of system with the recovery discs that came with it but all it shows is a blue screen and then the mouse pointer appears and occasionally I get a stop error message, but usually the blue screen with the mouse pointer remains on during about 10 minutes and then it restarts, showing the screens above and restarts again everywhere : the recovery process. Every thing in there seems to work except for one of the RAM sticks, which I ordered it and the hard drive only shows half of the space. When I turn it on, I get a short beep... that tellls me the system is ok... I think so. I have no access to the c: and d: drives and when I use the boot-floppies to access the recovery console, I get the old access denied even if I can't see the disks listed above. Are there other options at my disposal? I have not installation of xp disc is because the OS is preinstalled. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Looks like it's maybe a mess with the malware, recovery interruption attempted with power and all this tent.

    If your system has a CD/DVD drive, I create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required) and once in the Recovery Console, see if you can run a chkdsk /r on your HARD drive, as power cuts can sometimes damage the NT (NTFS) file system.

    Here's how:

    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.

    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:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    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.

    If you get a blue screen of death (BSOD), it would be useful to know what was said so we don't have to guess what you are seeing.

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.
    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  • Can not install the new copy of windows xp home edition

    A friend has built a computer for me and my friend it works for me.  Everything goes ok, then it stops working because the friend has installed a pirated copy of Windows XP Professional on this topic.  OK, I'm a little angry, but I can cope.  I had bought a new copy, never been used before, Windows XP Home Edition a couple of years to my old copy that I ended up not using.  When this happened, I thought it would be great, I could install that.  So, I turn on my new computer and let it boot.  When it comes to the screen, saying that I don't have an authentic copy of Windows installed, I open my CD drive, and then press the button so he can go back into the computer.  I have no mouse or keyboard control so I can't select all and nothing happens after that the disk will inside.  Nothing, I can't even hear anything running.   I would try to solve this problem without having to take Office Depot where they charge me $ 99 for "try" to fix it.  I don't have a job, so fix me it is my only option.  Any help out there in the cyberland?  Thanks for any help.  I'm on my dad's computer if you're wondering how I'm even able to send this way.  Laughing out loud

    I do not understand what you're doing or why nothing seems to happen, but the fundamental question that you have, it's that you cannot "upgrade" from XP Pro to XP Home.

    Assuming you can still start Windows (even if you get the notice that it is not authentic), copy all your data on some external support (external drive, USB flash, CD, DVD) and then perform a new installation of XP Home.  Once Windows is installed, you need to restore these data and you will need to re - install applications (programs) that you have installed (for example, Microsoft Office), so you'll need to find the installation for the applications media.

    Because it is a home-built computer, you must obtain all the necessary drivers on the web sites of various hardware manufacturers.  Most likely you will need are motherboard (chip), display (video), (audio), network (including wireless and modem) and any device (e.g., printers).

    Use the computer that you use to post here in order to download drivers and save them to a flash drive or burn them on a CD.

    I guess that your boyfriend (ex?) didn't give you all the documents with the computer (e.g., the motherboard manual or manuals for other equipment he installed).  If you can enter in your current Windows installation, click Start > run > msinfo32 > OK.  Click on the 'Components' category and look at the different devices to determine their models and manufacturers.  Motherboard information (you need to get the drivers of chip set) is not indicated in msinfo32.  Use BelArc Advisor (free)

    How to do a clean install of XP:

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_home_install_-_graphic.htm
    http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

    Don't forget - when installing from a Windows XP CD, you'll probably not the current service pack (service pack 3) and you will certainly not have current security patches.  You too have an antivirus.  Get instant access to Windows Update (do not go to other websites) and download critical updates.  Probably, this will take time and may require several reboots and go back to Windows Update.  When all updates have been installed, install an antivirus.

    If you are willing to pay for an anti-virus, eSet NOD antivirus (not the "suite").  Otherwise, I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir Personal.  At some point after that things are settled down, you should also get the free versions of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  You don't need the "pro version" that work all the time; You must only update and run these scanners on a periodic basis just to be sure that you have not picked up a malware that is slipped beyond your anti-virus.

  • I'm running out of room on a Pentium 3 computer, volume size 14,30 GB using Windows XP Home Edition

    original title: Windows XP Home Edition

    I'm running out of room on a Pentium 3 computer, volume size 14,30 GB using Windows XP Home Edition. This computer is no longer connected to the internet. I did a 'new' installation of the XP disk in an effort to remove unwanted files, but they remain on the computer, too much space? I have 22% free space (3,19 GB). I have the drivers for 2 printers on the computer, 1 regular printer (.38 MB) and 1 photo (63,63 MB). These are only currently installed programs, I put on the computer after the installation of "new". When I try to use the cleaning disc, the screen says I have 539ko internet temporary files and 32 KB of web client / Publisher temporary files. When I try to view these files, this screen is 'empty' or hidden? If I "check mark" these files and tell the computer I don't know I want to remove them, a screen indicates that they are being deleted (this screen only lasts a fraction of a second)?  but they are stll on the computer. Sometimes it deletes temporary internet files only to "come back" and the size can be different?  I tried to run the Disk Defragmenter (it took a lot of time). When I look at the report, I have a long list of files that it could not defragment? An example would be \ documents and settings------quest-my documents-my... I can't find these files? In addition, the computer is reminding me that I have so many days to activate windows after running the XP disk again. Thank you!

    Do a "new installation" Windows to remove unwanted files, it's a bit like swatting flies with a hammer.  And in your case, the hammer was apparently missed.  And, as you have discovered, you have now re - activate.  I hope that you still have your ID handy product.

    What are the files that are too much space and you want to delete?
    Consider to download and execute JDiskReport, a small utility in Java that will graphically show you what files take up more space on your drive.  In order to do this, however, you need to install Java, available here: http://www.java.com/en/

    Here's how to do a "clean" Windows XP installation, which includes the step of the formatting of the hard drive (otherwise said, the Windows CD not implementing in the form as part of the installation process; you don't need any other disk, diskette or other):

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_pro_install_-_graphic.htm
    http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

    There are important things to think before you do another reinstall.

    Although your computer will probably work after a clean install of Windows XP, some of the features of your material are not available until you install the specific drivers for this hardware (rather than the drivers built into Windows XP).  The most likely problems are the video and audio, but since your computer is very old, it is likely that Windows XP has an enough information on your hardware it will, in fact, work OK.

    Unless the Windows XP CD you already includes Service Pack 3, if you're ever going to connect the computer to the Internet, you must install Service Pack 3 (and subsequent critical updates).  The best way to do is to connect the computer to the Internet and go - only - to http://www.update.microsoft.com , even if you're never going to connect to the Internet, Service Pack 3 may have included updates of Windows features you want to use.

    The sticker key product or something else, says 'Windows XP Home Edition, HPQ'

    Hello rutofteaching,

    Because the certificate of authenticity (CoA) has "HPQ" on that, we know that it is a HP or Compaq computer.  Please contact HP/Compaq support to see if you can order a recovery disc for the computer.  If the original motherboard is still in the computer, it is always allowed to run Windows XP Home Edition HP/Compaq.

    Departure to this page by using HP/Compaq: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

    If none of the recovery discs are available from HP/Compaq, please try other suppliers such as www.restoredisks.com.

    In a pinch, you can borrow real Microsoft hologrammed XP Home installation disc a friend provided with licenses from Microsoft for XP Home Edition OEM/systembuilder/small manufacturer.  Installation using this CD and the product key located on CoA on your computer and NOT the product key provided with the CD. After installation, you must activate by telephone and NOT by an automatic online activation.

    As others have posted, there is nowhere on the Microsoft site that you can download an ISO file or equivalent for Windows XP Edition family.  You wouldn't use a downloaded disk even if you could find one elsewhere on the internet because they are probably packed full of malware, rootkits, and who knows what else - not what you want to infest your computer with.
