How do i restore the display settings for my computer monitor?
If you have a Mac their is a button on the back of the monitor hold it down until it comes on. On a PC there is usually a button on the right side push it. Make sure all your connections are secure.
How do you access your account online?
In terms of bank accounts, you need to gather all of your information, then find your bank's website. You need to find the link that usually says something along the lines of access my account online or just enroll. Click on it, fill in your info, make a login username and password, and use those to sign into the site. Or you could always walk into a bank and have the personal banker or other banking agent to help you set it up, then you just log in from a computer linked to the internet.
As for any other account, it's the same concept...
Not much information to start with, but this is a start that most people could do.
Start with the basics;
- boot in safemode and run a chkdsk from prompt
- run a virus scan
- if an application was installed before the hang, uninstall in safemode
- try a system restore to a date prior to the problem
- boot from CD and run a recovery
- restore from backup (if you backed up your system)
- if you have an image, revert back to it.
Should you delete Temporary files in disk cleanup?
Yes, there is no harm in deleting these files. I delete mine all the time. When you perform a system maintenance, these files are deleted at that time as well.
Do you have to pay if you get your Windows xp reactivate?
If you have a valid license key to use Windows XP with, then, no, you do not have to pay to reactivate Windows. However, if you have lost your license key then you will have to pay Microsoft to obtain a new one.
If you bought Windows XP on its own then there should be either a card with your license key on it, or a sticker with your license key on it in the packaging. If your computer came with Windows XP then there should be a Microsoft sticker on it somewhere with your license key on it.
What is the file extension that indicates an Excel file?
Excel 2003:
.xls = Workbook
.xla = VBA Add-in
.xlb = Toolbar (where custom toolbar settings are stored)
.xlc = Chart
.xld = Dialog (from older versions of Excel)
.xlk = Archive (Excel spreadsheet backup)
.xll = DLL Add-in
.xlm = Macro
.xlt = Template
.xlv = VBA Module
.xlw = Workspace (collection of multiple Workbooks)
Excel 2007 and Excel 2010:
.xlsx = Workbook (XML format)
.xlsm = Macro-enabled Workbook
.xlsb = Excel Binary Workbook (instead of XML format)
.xltm = Macro-enabled Template
.xlam = Add-in (XML format)
What is the name of the bar at the very top of the Internet Explorer Window?
The address bar or search bar
This is a fault caused by the software that you were running at the time. If you started a program just before getting this error, that would be the suspect. If not it could be ANY program that was running at the time. It could also be caused by a driver conflict with some software.
To fix this kind of error, because we have very little info to go on, we need to use a Microsoft tool to read the dump file that Windows created for this problem. The Dump Check utility which is included with the debugging tools for XP will do that for you.
The link to the Debugging tools and a full explanation on how to use them can be found at the Microsoft site. They are listed under KB315263.
If you surf to support.microsoft.com and do a search for KB315263 you will get to the page that explains how to use the Dump Check utility as well as having the links for the free tool.
Can you get a Windows Vista theme for Windows XP?
With very few exceptions, there is no such thing as a "Vista program." Most applications being released still support Windows XP. The only things that could conceivably be considered "Vista programs" are the programs bundled with Windows Vista, or some games released by Microsoft, like Halo 2. These programs can be made to work on Windows XP, but not all of them will work reliably or well.
Pls read this Article carefully and act with additional care (at your own risk) :
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
By default, RSL is 25 percent of the size of paged pool. Setting up the size of paged pool (see PagedPoolSize value of the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management) also affects the size of RSL.
You can also manually set the RSL:
1. Run the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
2. Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control.
3. Modify the value RegistrySizeLimit (create it first it if it does not already exist) to reflect the desired size, in terms of bytes.
NOTE: RegistrySizeLimit must have a type of REG_DWORD, and a data length of 4 bytes, or it is ignored. If you set the value RegistrySizeLimit to less than 4 megabytes (MB), it is forced up to 4 MB. If you set it to greater than about 80 percent of the size of paged pool, it is set down to 80 percent of the size of paged pool (it is assumed that paged pool is always more than 5 MB). If you set it to 0xffffffff the maximum size allowable (or 80 percent of paged pool, up to 102 MB) is set.
4. Shut down and restart Windows NT for changes in RSL to take effect.
Note A system restart is required after the RSL has been increased either through the graphical user interface (GUI) or the registry, because this change does not happen dynamically. If you do not restart the system, you may experience the following event:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: date
Time: time
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: name
Description: RegLoadKey failed. Return value Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service for C:\Documents and Settings\ntuser.dat.
In Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, the maximum paged pool size is 192 MB, so RSL can be a maximum of 153.6 MB. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 142719 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142719/EN-US/) NT Reports Out of Resources Error When Memory is Available
In Windows 2000, the maximum paged pool size is approximately 370-400 MB, when you do not use the /3gb command-line switch (this makes the RSL greater than 296 MB). If you use the /3gb switch, these values remain unchanged from Windows NT 4.0.
Additional Notes on RSLRSL sets a maximum, not an allocation (unlike some other such limits in the system). Setting a large RSL will NOT cause the system to use that much space unless it is actually needed by the Registry. It also does NOT guarantee that that much space will be available for use in the Registry.In Windows NT version 3.1, paged pool defaults to 32 MB, so the default RSL is 8 MB (enough to support approximately 5000 user accounts). In Windows NT 3.5, paged pool can be set to a maximum of 128 MB, so RSL can be no larger than about 102 MB (enough to support approximately 80,000 users; however, other system limitations might keep this number of users considerably lower).
RSL includes space in the hives themselves, as well as some of the Registry's runtime structures. Other runtime structures are either billed against standard quota, or are protected by size limits and serialization.
To ensure that you can always at least boot and edit the Registry if you set RSL incorrectly, quota checking is not turned on until after the first successful loading of a hive (that is, loading a user profile).
For all but a few domain controllers, RSL never needs to be changed.
The limitations imposed by RSL are approximate.

How good are reliabilt windows?
We just remodeled our home and part of it was the installation of 24 Reliabilt double glass high efficiency windows. Average price just under $100 each, but compared to the wooden windows and storm windows we've had for 25 years these are amazing. Our power bill has gone down by half. No new insulation, just new siding and a new metal roof (no foam underneath). The house now hold the cool air inside the airconditioner is hardly ever on. Worth my money!

Can I upgrade windows xp home to windows xp pro?
Yes. Any System that's capable of running windows xp home edition can basicall run xp pro. What you need to do is not different from what was done at the time of loading windows xp home edition... the only difference is that xp pro will need its own product key + activation and it is normally a bit expensive than xp home. Good luck!
