Emulate RightClick on Hyperlink in Macro

Reinstallation of Windows XP from original CD ROM freezes on "Setup is
starting Windows" after Setup has loaded several files. After a few minutes I
get a blue screen, bottom line of which is "dmio.sys - AddressF736E743 base
at F7366000, DateStamp 3b7d8573".

Where do I go from here please?

A repair install or clean install?
Was there a problem previously?

Could be bad hardware (memory, etc.)

If you had everything installed...

You receive a random "0x0000008E" error message on a blue screen in Windows
XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827663

You may receive an error message on a Windows-based computer: "STOP
0x00000050" or "STOP 0x0000008e"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903251


Overall - I would go with the hardware issues. Remove everything from your
computer (external and insternal) other than the necessary (since you are
doing a fresh install.) You need a CD drive, video card, processor/memory
and the mainboard to host it all. Keyboard and mouse connected to input
things during the installation and the monitor to see it all. Have nothing
else plugged in if you can help it. No external USB devices of any type
(other than already listed.) If you have more than one stick of memory and
they are not required to be in pairs - remove one (if your system requires
memory in pairs - swap them.)

Try your install.

If it fails, swap the single stick with the other stick if you only had one
stick of RAM.

Come back - let us know.

DL, a repair install after some files got corrupted. autochk.exe and
something preventing users showing up on the "click your username screen".

I have worked OK for at least a year with 2x1GB RAM Strips.
After removing one strip I selected boot from CD, then Enter to pick up from
where the previous try at reinstallation failed. Could not proceed down that
route, so selected F10 and then Repair existing XP installation on the
selected partition. I ran chkdsk and it stalled after reaching 25%. I guessed
that corrupted autochk.exe was the problem, so I copied autochk.exe from
another computer running XP to D:\windows\system32 and to
D:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386. On restarting chkdsk it ran to completion,
finding one or more errors on the volume created on 05/21/03. Now I need to
find out what the error(s) is/are and repair it/them.

Next I rebooted and went down the F10 route again, files loaded and then
selected Enter to set up Windows XP now, agreed the license, searched for
previous versions of XP, pressed Esc to continue installing a fresh copy of
XP on the appropriate partition (D:). The next screen gave me two choices,
one was to continue Setup using the selected partition which already contains
the original OS, the other was to select a different partition (Not what I
want to do). There did not seem to be an option to overwrite the earlier
version of XP. I heeded the cautionary note about NOT installing multiple
systems on a single partition. So I backtracked a bit and selected R to try
to repair the existing installation. Setup checked system and then copied
files to the windows installation folders. Setup went on to initialize my
windows XP configuration, and saved it. System rebooted, and went back to the
Installing Windows step of the installation process with 39 minutes to go to
completion. Completed successfully. Running Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition, Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1 .

Come Back 4 (After 3 of 3).

I had not been able to run Norton 360, but found that in Safe Mode I was
able to run the Virus Detection part of Norton AntiVirus program.

Virus Detection Scan checked 360,000+ files and found no viruses.

Security Scan showed Antivirus Product Check to be Safe, Virus Protection
Update Check to be safe. Some checks did not run due to an error on the
server, tried another two times later but still error on the server.

Contacting Symantec to query message about error on the server.
