Ignoring this problem

Why and how would you ignore it?

Probably by taking the advice given in the message.

Shouldn't this be a post for a technical forum, or perhaps the question and answers forum?

What is it about "If you just want to laze about and discuss things that don't quite fit elsewhere, then this is the place." that you don't understand.

Let me make it easy for you to understand, technical problems belong elsewhere!

The lounge is more suited for non-technical discussions. For when people who are saturated with technical problems go to relax and discuss the rest of the human condition.

I have noticed that the lounge has had a lot of technical problem discussion lately. Please find another forum to discuss technical issues. The lounge should be what it's name implies, a place to go to unwind from a day (life) of solving technical problems. D'Oh! | :doh:

Settle, tiger.

The lounge is not a place for programming questions but the lounge is most definitely a place for technical discussions. We're all developers and many of us are gadget and tech geeks whose idea of relaxing chat is technical stuff.

However, you are correct that technical questions that are better asked in one of the other forums, such as the SysAdmin[^] forum, should not be asked in the lounge.

But there are ways that encourage someone to consider where they post and maybe delete and move their post, and there are ways that are simply hostile and lend a dark flavour to the lounge - a colour tht's been more and more prevalent.

We're people too.

Now that you pointed it out I realize that, sorry to say, I was being judgmental and most definitely could have responded differently, or more appropriately just have moved on to another post. Blush | :O

Sorry Maximilien for my outburst. I am under a lot of pressure these days at work and I took out my frustration on you and it was uncalled for.

Sorry Chris for my lashing out at Maximilien. It is not my place to impose arbitrary rules about what is appropriate to post in the lounge. That is entirely in your province. In the future I will just move on the another post.

Hi,

I have installed Mac system on VMWare 6, XP sp3, AMD processor environment. You need to download the image that are prepared for VMware. there are different image for Intel processor and AMD processor.

There are some guides online, AS vmware doest not have Mac choice, you need to install it as "Other" system

It was the hard drive boot sequence.
BTW: Do you have any idea how to access a flash drive from within the mac os??

Thanks

Hello all,

* A windows XP computer has:
1. Lost the desktop wallpaper.
2. Lost the contents of the desktop.
3. Changed the title bar height.
4. Changed the default colours. i.e. the selection in the start menu is now gray and not blue, menues are darker and old fashioned, dialog backgrounds are darker (like the old win95 days).
5. Microsoft Security Essentials has not started at the beginning automatically.
6. The quick launch bar has also disappeared and when I try to make it appear again, it tells me: "Impossible to create taskbar".

* I have:
1. Started a complete scan with Microsoft Security Essentials.

* Extra information:
When I installed that computer several time ago, I used a username and now there is another user that uses that computer, so I changed the original user name for the second user... and with the information that I have today I must say that "without touching anything" (stop laughing please) all those things have happened...

Now every single folder that had relation to the user seems to be lost there... Quick launch doesn't work, desktop contents are not visible, start menu contents have been lost, sizes, fonts and colors have been broken...

* Question:
What could have happened?

* SOLUTION APPLIED:
- Copied the user profile...
- Removed the user from the system.
- Created a new user.
- Restored the data.
- It works... Unsure | :~

Any idea?

Thank you in advance!

Different user profiles perhaps?

Does more than one person log in to the computer in question? If more than one person is logging into the machine with the same user login credentials then anybody could have changed the settings.

--Just a thought.

Thank you slacker007 for your feedback, anyway, there is only one user that can access that computer, moreover is an inexperienced user that does not know how to change those things...

Does this user leave their computer "un-locked"? and if so, is it possible that someone was trying to teach them a lesson by changing their settings? I only bring this up because it seems that most of the things that changed on this computer are visual/personal settings changes and I have seen this type of "prank" done before on someone who left their computer "un-locked".

[Edit] Just read your extra information and I am at a loss now.

It is a small company and the computer is the one from the pointy haired boss... Wink | ;)

so I guess no-one has made a prank here...

It seems that the windows has lost the connection between the original user name path and the current user name path... it is strange...

I've created a new user and everything works like charm... Suspicious | :suss:
