Hello

I suggest that you re - download Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP and then install it and check if the problem persists.

    Can someone direct me to a link to download the standalone version of the service pack work?

  • Tecra 9000 - error message with Windows XP SP3 home edition

    Hello

    I have a Tecra 9000 in very good condition, until yesterday, I have no problem!
    After updating my Windows XP service pack 2 on the "service pack 3", everything works fine but when I press the button 'TOSHIBA controls' and 'mouse' for setting, Windows error message occure: "run a dll as an app"!

    Even if I go to "Start" and "Control Panel" and press the mouse, after setting close icon, or just simply do nothing (cancel), the same message! I did not notice any other problem with the TOSHIBA utility!
    My driver for mouse is "Logitech mouse ware, 9.40! Can you help me?

    This oldie works well with Windows XP SP2 home edition and in my opinion you should use without SP3. Try to remove the SP3, and I hope that everything will work properly again. Problem is that the old tools and utilities designed for Toshiba probably aren't tested and updated to SP3.

    I have more Satellite M70 and use sill with SP3. I don't want to risk anything and have problems.

  • I get 'Invalid key' when you install Windows XP SP3 Home Edition from a CD at retail and used the OEM key

    I restore an HP Pavilion computer and try to install Windows XP Home Edition, with the button on the side of the computer.  I contacted HP and they no longer have an available for this computer recovery CD.  So, I tried to install a copy of Windows XP Edition retail family, but when I enter the OEM product key I get "invalid key".  I read on this forum that you can not mix the OEM disc/keys with detail, but it seems that I don't have to buy another copy of Windows when it came with my computer.  What choices do I have?

    None!

    So I don't Support HP and Microsoft no help either.  Activation Center asked me to call the Department of parts (which is incorrect) and the parts Department told me that they cannot provide Windows which was distributed by HP!  Microsoft changed this start with Vista, so I do not understand why they are always telling customers that.

    And then he said access to retrieve options log in as an administrator.  I forgot the password of administrator or local user

    Hello

    Microsoft prohibits any aid granted for passwords forgotten here.

    If you have forgotten your password, how can I connect normally to use your desktop computer?

    Are you sure that this request for password is not not to do with the Acer recovery process?

    You can read this information:

    "Some Acer models have a default password that you use to start the process of recovery from the recovery Partition 'hidden'.

    Usually press you Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of relocation and Acer default password should be 6 zeros, unless someone has changed.

    If not, give Acer a phone call. »

    I've sent e-mails that have been compacted to OE and now reside in a .dbx file which I would like to open and restore OE

    When I try to open it I get redirected to a file extension search prompt.

    All your messages are stored in dbx files and open with OE. Be more specific.

    After compaction, items sent is empty? If so, check the Recycle Bin (not deleted messages) and the message OE for a sent file Items.bak store. If you find one, post back before doing anything.

  • Windows Desktop Search is not working properly

    For some time after 4 days my computer will be slow and does not respond well. If I stop and start again, a box appears saying that desktop search is not working properly and options to stop the computer, reboot and rebuild the index.  After that performance improves for a few days.  What is the problem? Your help is appreciated.

    slberry50,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    Looks like the indexing service is not running, or stops for some reason any.  We will check the indexing service to see if it is set to automatically run first.
    Restart the Windows Search service
    Click Start, type services in the start search box and press ENTER.
    List programs, click Services.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
    Scroll down and locate the service which is the Windows Search label.
    Right-click the service and then click Properties.
    Set the startup type: automatic (delayed start).
    Click Start to start the service, and then click OK.

    Rebuild the database that is used by the search indexer
    Click Start, the index in the search box and press ENTER.
    List programs, click on Indexing Options.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
    Click Advanced.
    Click on rebuild and then click OK to the warning that appears.
    Click OK to close the Indexing Options.
    Note: From now on, the system must re - index documents and electronic mail. However, when indexing is complete, it is likely that the performance of the system will return to acceptable levels.

    Run a file system check to ensure that no file system is damaged:
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
    Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    XP... The desktop icons will not put. I did a lot of research on this issue, read the different responses on many forums, including and have tried much of the recommendations... I'm not familiar with the functions of establishment of the arrangement of the desktop icon and this is the first time I met this kind of problem. "Lock Web items on desktop" is checked, "Snap to grid" is not checked (my preference, but I find that it will check mysteriously itself after the icons rearrange themselves to the left of the screen, apparently by making use of automatic reorganization, even if it is not checked), I tried securityguy14 registry change response dated December 7, 2009 , have installed and use the program "Icon restore" that changes the Recycle Bin, my computer, and another icon of office, I do not remember to add a backup/restore function for the setting icon on the desktop... is what bought me a brief period of mental health before they rearrange themselves after a few constantly unidentifable strike entered sometimes without "rhyme or reason", not unique to anything, preventing me from shrink down to a specific cause.
