I'd like to split this latest problem into a separate topic - OK with you guys?

Well that seems to rule out any problem with your computer - it must be a problem with the time server. Try another one.

Have you tried swapping cables with another work station?

Or trying the whole PC connected at a different point?

Hope you enjoy your tour. I'm off on a cruise to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary at the beginning of May. Two weeks around the Baltic countries, visiting eight different countries.

Russia, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Poland.

We're all excited ...........

The menu in BIOS is where you should find 'Integrated Peripherals', but they can vary in menu options considerably. Have a look at the guide below, might help:

Right-click on the drive and choose 'Properties'.

Go to the Autoplay tab and change the content type to 'Mixed Content' from the drop down list.

Select the folder icon, make sure that 'choose an action to perform' is selected.

Click on 'apply', then 'OK'.

I see that Central Time is -6hrs. What happens if you  change your time zone to Eastern Time which is -5hrs?

I'm not familiar with Comodo, but are these trojans being detected in a System Restore point? Try turning off System Restore, then reboot and turn it back on again.

Alternatively, try scanning with Comodo in Safe Mode.

Hi Mike,

Why do you think you need to update some drivers? On the premise that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", I have never updated any drivers because everything works just fine.

If you are having a problem, then the site to get new drivers from will depend on which driver is causing the problem. For example, if your video card drivers are a problem, then you would be best to go to the manufacturer's site for update or replacement.

Windows can also locate updates directly from device manager if needed.

Not sure what you mean by 'post in other threads'. Do you mean mentioning FixmyXP in other forums? If so that's fine.  If you mean posting suggestions or advice on other requests for help, that's fine too. (I 'tweaked' one of yours, and it was a good answer.)

There's no need to 'repay' us, your thanks is enough.

Where are you off to on tour? Is that a pleasure trip?

I assume you mean the screen you showed here : http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00099kw7.jpg ??

If so, it may be that the BIOS is trying to boot from Lan (network). You need to go into the BIOS and change the boot sequence - CD-ROM, HDD, Floppy is a sensible boot order.

If you don't have either the SP2 CD or full copy of XP (SP2) on CD, then you will need to create one. Full details of slipstreaming a CD are here:

Used to help set the monitor display. Compaq's only.

Question one: Have you uninstalled all things HP printer?
Question two: Have you deleted the HP printer icon that is showing in the screen shot of your printers?

If the answer to either is 'no', get to it and complete the job. Then let Essexboy do any further analysis that's required.

After it looks like your PC is working OK - we'll see about sorting out an installation of the printer.


FixmyVista isn't doing much, might be better to stay here. Are you thinking of getting a new machine?

Try creating another (temp) folder, then drag the problem one into it.

Then delete the new temp folder.

As well as making sure you have uninstalled every program associated with your printer, go into Control Panel/Printers & Faxes and make sure that you don't still have any printer showing. Delete if there is.

Also - make sure your printer isn't connected to the computer.
