I apologise in advance for posting a question that is a bit off topic
to Windows XP, but you folks are SO knowledgable and helpful that I
really didn't know which forum would be better to pose this question
in:
Does anyone know of a hardware application which would let me write on
a pad beside my computer and whatever I wrote on that pad would appear
on my computer screen? A kind of notepad that would instantly appear
on the screen?
I thank you in advance for your attention to this question...

When I boot up (XP Pro with all updates) I have a annoying
problem. Norton AV is loaded after my network connection,
Zone Alarm and other services. Consequently I get a balloon
message saying that my system is at risk because the
firewall is not active. Once Norton is loaded the message
goes away.. This started happening recently but I can't tell
what changed.
I've looked in the files shown in msconfig to see if I can
change the sequence of loading. I don't see (or can't
interpret)what's going on. Can someone tell me how the
system determines the loading sequence and if I'd have
problems if I changed it.
Like I said this is not a major problem... just an annoyance.
thx for the help...

I successfully installed the backup program by double-clicking on
NTBACKUP.MSI and was able to back up my data, but on pg. 925 of Robert
Cowat's book on Windows XP Home Edition there is a statement :
"And don't forget to mark the System State check box to protect your
Registry and system configuration".
But there was no check box on the backup program, so could someone please
tell me how to back that up "manually" by mentioning the directory where
this information is stored.
Thanks,
Peter

When using Yahoo! Music Jukebox, I receive a Fatal Exception Error after a
short period of use. It reads . . .
a fatal excepotion 0xc0000005 has occurred at 0x211CDF86 (read, ________ )
a log file is being generated.
The " (read, ____ " changes with each error. I ignore it and I can continue
to use the program. If I Clike "OK", the program is closed.
I do not know what an Exception Error is. Is this bad? Can it be resolved?
Help?

My IBM R50P has started to "power off" when I am using it and also when not
in use. The only constant I can pin point is that it happens within 30
minutes from bootup. It is not linked to specific programs unless there is
something happening in the background. I have tried to use system restore
thinking an program update may have caused this, but after the boot from
system restore, I get an "Incomplete" error due to no changes were made? This
does not make sense because I go to points in time when Windows update was
installed or a program was installed or removed.
Any suggestions? I really don't want to start from scratch. I am dependent
on my computer daily.

Every time my IBM R50P laptop boots, the folder "C:\Windows\System32" opens
as part of the loading process and I have to close the folder. I have checked
the "Startup" folder and I do not see anything that would launch this action.
How do I fix this problem? It is very annoying.

When Sp3 came out, I installed it, and burned it to CD so I would have it..
now I see in System information it's not showing up.. My friend and I did
this at the same time, and her's is not showing either.. Does this mean I
don't have it? Rainy

Yes, the firewalls have been enabled properly, and Yes, the network printer
on the other computer is set for sharing. The Add A Printer wizard just hangs
displaying that there aren't any printers to display and a status message
that "Documents Waiting". It will stay in that state permanently. If I
continue it will tell me that I need to enter a valid printer name. That
doesn't work either. Any suggestions that you might have would be greatly
welcome. Thanks!

For some reason Windows no longer displays the date when I hold the
cursor over the toolbar clock.
Can this be adjusted?
