You must identify the file extension of the file, example if its resume.odt, odt file extension will works only for open office application. It is important to identify the file extension so that you will know what kind of program or application you are going to use. Have a nice day.

This problem is usually due to parental controls or user application privileges/ network privileges.
The account that can connect to the internet should be the "administrator". In "Control Panel" access "user accounts" and check the privileges. Enable full (or the ones you want) access. "Parental controls" will block internet connections, check to make sure this is disabled or the correct level is enabled.

First you need to disable the page file:

1. Open Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System.
2. In the left "Tasks", click on Advanced System Settings.
3. You should come to "Advanced" tab. In "Performance" section, click on Settings button.
4. Click on Advanced tab.
5. In the "Virtual Memory" section, click on Change button.
6. By default, "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" setting is selected so that Windows can manage the paging file without user's interruption. Uncheck the check box of Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
7. Select and highlight the appropriate drive that users want to change the paging file settings under the box of "Drive [Volume Label]".Select "No Page File"
8. Restart the system
   

Next do the following:

1. Click on your start menu and open the run dialog.
2. Type "cmd" and return (note: dont enter quotes)
3. Next type "fsutil dirty query e:"
4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
5. Next type "chkdsk e: /f /x"
6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more ckdisk.

Unfortunately, there would be no public download for this, because of the product key. The only way to get this key is to buy Windows XP. If you have another computer with Windows XP, see if you can call the company that made the computer and may either send you one free or for around $15. (depending on your reason for needing it)

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop. Most likely you are missing drivers. When you format a computer, you need to put everything back on it. If you have the original driver disks that came with it, install those. If not, you can probably find them on Dell, Hp, or whatever your manufacturer's site is.


Godspeed,

If you just formatted the partition with the second XP installation on there, it should remove the boot menu where you choose which installation to go to.
Here are a few options for you to choose from.

• Option One: Open Start-Run and enter msconfig Click the tab "BOOT.INI" The contents of the boot.ini file are shown and a number of configuration settings are available. Under Operating systems, delete the one you don't want. Be careful not to delete the wrong one.
• Option Two: Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties" from the context menu. The System Properties dialog box will open. In the section "Startup and Recovery" click the button "Settings". To delete the unwanted operating system from the boot display menu, use the "Edit" button on the right of the entry.
  
• Option Three: If the OS is Windows XP Professional, it has a command line utility for manipulating boot.ini called bootcfg.exe.
  Click start, type CMD, click OK and you are presented with the command prompt. Type bootcfg /? It will list the description and parameter list. Once again, you can delete the unwanted OS.
• Option Four: Boot to the XP install disk and open up the command prompt utility of the disk. Enter "fixmbr" and press enter. Restart the computer and remove the disk.
  

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart or During the boot process tap the f8 button three times this will boot into safe mode where the only things working will be your mouse and keyboard enabling you to attempt to repair your computer

hope this helps don

Hi
Your HDD is maybe damaged and you won't be abble to install a new os on it .
Otherwise , if you really can't format it , try extracting it from your desktop and connecting it to a healthy computer .
Reinstall it back in your desktop afterwards and launch the W XP install disc .

UNinstall it: click on windows START (lower left corner-windows icon)
go to control panel
select add or remove programs
(let the list build for a second or two)
select the program you want to uninstall

may need to restart.

On a side note, AVG antivirus is top rated free a/v software, which I recommend; easier to manage.

Click START...RUN...then type appwiz.cpl and click OK. If you have no luck you need to backup your registry and then edit it: Click START...RUN and then type regedit. Click OK.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninstall and look in the righthand pane for the below value:

NoAddRemovePrograms

If it is present, doubleclick on it and change the value data to 0 and reboot.

If it is not present, try creating it. Go to Edit > New > DWORD value and name it NoAddRemovePrograms

When you have created it, doubleclick on it and set the value data to 0 and reboot.

If I understand your question, you just want to remove the header of an email, such as the From/To/Subject information before forwarding it to something else. If that is correct, then it is as simple as clicking the Forward button, then you can delete any text that is in that email, including the headers.

No, most likely not at all. Anyway one can always do a system restore.

The mouse is not the problem. The problem is with your mouse driver. It might be damaged. Try deleting the mouse driver and reinstalling it. Assuming you have Windows XP. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>Mice and other pointing devices.
Delete all pointing devices, close everything, restart the computer and the system will detect the mouse, follow on screen instructions and install a new mouse driver. That will fix the problem.
