Volume Control

Corinthian

You know the little speaker in the system tray by the clock. . . Can this be opened with an. exe file or something ? The reason for this is that I'm trying to move it to a toolbar. Also, can it be changed to control Wave/DirectSound rather that the master volume ?.

Grrrr....Norton Internet Security 2002

Brian Frank

I don't get this one. I install it, then after the reboot, my rig never seems to finish it's startup in Windows. I can't do anything in normal mode, and I can't uninstall it from within safemode. The Imperial Star Destroyer is in trouble here.

CDRWin problem

thefncrow

OK, got a problem here. Burner works under XP (built-in burning software works, fireburner works), but when an audio cd is burned under CDRWin, I stick it in my cd player and get nothing but static. I tried to see if this was a problem with the mp3 encoder by converting the mp3 to wav, still nothing doing.

Seti@home under W2K

Bashful

Hi Group, I've installed SETI@Home here at work, but as I'm not the only one to use this computer, I would like to stop SETI@Home from starting up along with the rest of the computer - how do I do that ?? Isn't there a MsConfig-feature in W2K as there is in Win98 ???.

New Installation procedure for Roxio 5 Platinum

rickcfer

It seems Roxio has changed the update procedure for EZCD Platinum for a third time!! This time they say to reboot after each installation and to run the migration file after each reboot. It also seems that the update file is smaller now.

I'm putting together an XP image for the programmers at work and have discovered a bizarre bug with Windows XP. When I log on to our NT4 domain, windows XP loses the ability to search. Specifically, it says that a file required for search companion cannot be found and that I may need to run setup.
