I am here to check out how to solve a mouse jumping problem, since that disturbs me a lot when typing my mails and even when I am offline, while typing in Microsoft Works. I am not too techyv to do some troubleshooting on my own. Because of this problem, I intend to not take my laptop for official use on this condition. So really looking for someone to help.

I am using Microsoft windows xp professional edition. I am good in customizing my desktop for better look and feel. I followed a tutorial showing me how to replace my boot screen using bootskin software. That software worked for me then i followed another tutorial on manually creating boot up screen of my own. I followed up the tutorial and edited ntoskrnl.exe file with resource intruder to change the screen shot.

I tried creating a 8 bit color file and added it into my ntoskrnl.exe file
I tried to replace the file using safe mode as well as in normal mode but whenever i replace file i doesn't work for me.

It still showing me the old bootup screen.

Good Day,

I want to know what are other possible problems about PC restart. I knew few tricks, solutions about PC restart but what if those options don't work out when I encounter the problem? At least I have backup ideas about that problem and when backing up files in Windows XP, where can I find the options?

How about sharing files? How about hiding some folder how can we do that one? This option is hard for me to work out really. Maybe you guys can help me and teach me some ideas about my concerns and you can ask me questions too and I'll be glad to help you. 

Thank you.

I chatted with hp team about installing windows 7 on my laptop, and they said that all the data and recovery partition will get lost by during this. They suggested me to make recovery discs as i am not able to make them right now.

I want step by step tutorial of formatting my computer and installing windows 7 in this.

Also want to create a recovery partition with some more partitions.

I want to create some more partitions to store my songs and pictures on different partitions. Is it possible to create more partitions using some kind of software's to save a recovery partition also and creating more partitions simultaneously?

I don't want to lose my recovery partition.

I have  a web cam attached to my computer, which I need to place out of my room at some distance to watch what is going on outside. Its a USB web cam. So I decided to extend my USB cable by attaching 5 USB cables with each other which I purchased from a store.

My problem is that, it is not detecting my web cam after using 5 cables attached with each other. I am getting installation of drivers but its getting failed due to unrecognized device attached to USB and malfunctioning. One of my friend managed to get it working by placing a USB hub in between the cables. How can I do this ? I really need to extend my USB to get this setup working for me. Any suggestion will be of great help. Thanks in advance.  

I'm a bit interested when my Sister ask me about Linux Fedora and Windows 2008 dual booting.

I didn't think of that also actually. I've been worked out with dual booting such as WIN2K3 and WINXP, WINXP and WIN2007, WIN98 and WIN2K3 but i didn't encounter dual booting Windows 2008 and Linux Fedora. I don't know the history of Linux that why i don't know if that is possible to dual boot.

Is it applicable to do dual booting Linux and Win 2008?

If that so, can you explain further so that i can try that one at home. Thank You.

My computer will not start. It shows the XP logo but then startup is canceled, I get the choice of safe mode, last known good configuration and start windows normally but none work. I have been told it's a hardware problem and I should delete the new hardware from my computer to fix my initial problem. I test hardware to install another computer and no problem there. I try to repair windows by chkdsk command but problem is same. Occasionally my computer run and I can work but most of the times it’s occurring this problem how can I solve this?

Many of my games require the CD or DVD to be inserted before launching the game. For some reason, my computer will not read the autorun.inf files and launch the auto play menu upon inserting the disk in either drive. But others software which have autoran.inf is run properly.

Computer is,

Custom built .system board ASUSTekv M2NPV-VM

Processor AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Cores 6000+ 3.3 GHz

RAM 2 X 1 GB G-Skill DDR2 (PC2-6400)

Hard Drives Seagate 250 GB SATA,

Optical Drives: Samsung DVD-RW

Graphics Card: Radeon X1950 XLT

What to do if you seen a "disk boot failure" on your computer?

In one of my friend quite an old Fuji so-Siemens scaled desktop computer.

It's about 6 years old.

Recently replaced the graphics card, but now he is having another problem.

When switch the computer on, he gets the message "No signal" on the screen.

He becomes tried changing cables – no luck.

I also tried a different monitor – This time the message I got was that the screen was in power-save mode, and I need to activate it using the keyboard.

I tried to do that, but nothing happened.

I even changed the graphics card – again – but still the same problem.

Can you help me please?
