Hello again, Remay
Let's see...........
1) Since things seem to be running somewhat okay, you can skip them for now.
What those fixes do is set the default associations for those various types
of files.
2) When you say "See Also Other Contol Pannel Options", do you mean where it
says "See Also"? If so, look to the right of the bar that highlights "See
Also" to see if there are two small arrowheads there pointing
downwards.......if so, click on the arrowheads and see if that brings up the
options that should be listed there.
By 'Pick Up A Task' I assume you're meaning "Pick a task...". I don't know
what other options you had there previously, as I've only ever had three
options (i.e., Change an account, Create a new account, Change the way users
log on or off).
Set up my account to use a .Net Passport is probably the only item that is
missing under "What do you want to change about your account?", as you
mentioned that you only have four tasks listed there, and on mine the "Set
up my account to use a .Net Passport " makes up the fifth item.
To the left, under Related Tasks I also have only 4 tasks listed (i.e.,
Manage my network passwords, Prevent a forgotten passowrd, Change another
account and Create a new account). Beneath that is the Learn About category,
with 3 items (i.e., Deleting your own account, Switching users and Using a
..NET Passport)
In 'Add Remove Programs' the fourth item, Set Program Access and Defaults
was added in SP1. Perhaps a reinstall of the service pack will correct this,
or my recommendation for #4.
If you'd like to read a description of this tool, just for interest's sake,
have a look here:

tform/Shell/programmersguide/shell_adv/setprogramaccess.asp
3) Give this a try:
Right-click on My Computer, select Properties>Advanced tab. Click on
Settings button in the Performance section, then Advanced tab, then click on
the Change button in Virtual memory section. Click in the radio button
beside "Custom size", and key in the Initial size of 1.5x the amount of RAM
you have (576) and make the Maximum size 3x the Initial size (1728), then
click on the Set button. Click on OK, then Apply (if enabled), OK, OK.
4) You could give this a try:
Go to Start>Run and key in SFC /SCANNOW <ENTER>
Have your XP install CD in the drive, as you'll be requested for it. This
scans protected files and replaces corrupted/missing files with "fresh"
files from the install CD
5) Sounds like that is not a problem........have a look here:

Check out the second Q&A.
6) I don't have a quick answer for that one.
I worked all evening, so it wasn't such a great day, lol, but I'm off now
until Friday night, so that's okay.

Dear Patti
Hi Again
Please and,, if You have time I wana ask You about Few Things :
1- About those Windows Xp Association registry Fixes That You've sent me
Can I Load/Register Them into my Registry ?? or there is no need ?? would
they change anything in my Registry ?
(To The Better)?? why im asking,, Well because I compared couple
of them with my existing Registry entries and
I found that they are diffrent from mine ..
*Mine have less info from the ones in Win.XP Association. *Most of mine
have this : 'Value is not set' whereas the
new ones's Values are set . etc.. OR ,, as long as the System is
running ok I shouldn't bother with them ??
2- In Contol Pannel to the left, under See Also Other Contol Pannel
Options There Is Nothing In There !! And ,
In User Accounts main page I dont have all those Submenus Tabs/Links under
'Pick Up A Task' as i used to have a
year ago or so,, I only have three now !! And,, when I Pick My Account
Name I find only 4 tasks under
"What You Want To Change.." I Rember that I used to have more !! for EXAMPLE I dont have
' Set My Account To Use A Net Passport'. And ,, to the left Under
Realated Tasks I Only Have 4 tasks !! And,,
in 'Add Remove Programs' I only have three Options : Change or Remove Program , Add New Program ,
Add Remove Windows Components
3- Some Times I get This Error Message: Windows_ Virtual memory minimum
too low ... even when I dont have
so many programs loaded ,, most often I get It when i Load The Windows
Movie Maker. Well,, I've Got an HP(desktop)
with 857 MHz and 384 MB of Ram , with total size of 28 GB ,, 20 GB out of that still free..
4- When I look for ' Windows Explorer' I Cannot Find It and when I do and
I try To Open it , It either takes me to
My Documents Or, It Takes Me To Main Drive C Or, to a Folder named
Windows Explorer But there is Nothing in it !! And when i search for it I
cannot find It In The System.
5- When I right click on any System file,, any Dll File or any Activex
File ,and I click on View Dependencies ,,
The Dependency Walker -[asctrls.ocx] opens up.. and in the bottom of Program's Page I see
A warning message in red Says that: Warning: At least one module has an
unresolved import due to a missing export
function in a delay-load dependent module. !! and in The main page to the
left where all the dependencies are located I can see Only One Item is in
Red Color, that is : MPR.DLL ,,, and on the right on the top of the
page under PI^ : C in red Color It's Function name is
:WNetRestoreConnectionA !!
I dont know what is that and why The MPR.DLL is the only one in Red . Is it something to worry about ??
6- And Last .. This One is kind of tricky.. Well I'll try to explain
as much as I could -I better do-
lol@me
Well . It's about the settings and The Look of: My Desktop, My
Files& Folders, My Text Documents, My Note Pads
and all Other Programs and Applications... etc... When I browse Or, I
Point My Mouse Or I navigate On Any One
Of Those I've Just Mentioned above ,, What Happen is : Let say I have
opened : One File/Folder , Microsoft Visual Basics ,,
Internet Explorer , And , One Text Document .. Let Say Iam Typing a
note in The Text Document and I have The Mouse Pointer
set on the last word I typed in that Text document where I could see The
Cursor is blinking at the last letter of that word I'm Typing ....
Now Let Say I Move The Mouse Pointer out of that page (The Text
Document Page ) where Im Typing The Note without clicking on
the Mouse Just moving The Mouse Out Of That Page , and, point it at the
Tool Bar or at any other opened File or a Program..
What Happen here is The Cursor disappear and stops Blinking on that word
that iam typing in that text document page!!
Well I tried all sort of Mouse,, Keyboard ,Folders,and appearance
settings to cahnge that But Nothing worked sofar..
When I log off and i go and log on the Adminstrator Account,, That Problem
Is Not There !! even dough both
my Account and The Adminstrator Account have same ettings ..
Well I Know I've Got Too Much To Ask For ( Forgive Me For That). I'm Not
Sure If You Handle Things Like That..
I Know That You Are A Shell Specialist (which I Dont Know what it Means)
lol@me again .. But I wanted To Ask You
anyway .. Well what You Could Help Me With Is Fine With Me.. You've
Already Helped Me With The Main Problem
