[2003-08-25] Scanner Won't Scan After Upgrade
Hi Carey:
My OS is Win 98 SE and had a perfectly running HP scanner 3530c untill I updated to IE6 from 5.5. Every time I try to scan something now an IE box opens (not the browser itself) and tells me I have an error on the script of this page and do I want to continue running it. No mater what I choose to do it scews up file://C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardDigital Imagingbbfedirectordirector.htm /line 261 char 4, which then adds more lines and characters as I try to get it to dissapear.
[2003-08-25] Monitor Malfunctioning
Hi Carey,
The original monitor with my eMachine eTower 566i2 started blinking a few months ago. It would slowly grow dim and then brighten up again. and then one day it just stopped functioning altogether. Then I switched to another used monitor and put on a spike buster just to make sure that this was not because of power fluctuations. But this one started behaving the same way.
[2003-08-20] Trouble With Task Scheduling
Carey: My wife has a windows xp system & I am having trouble scheduling any maintenance tasks to run automatically. No matter what I do on the status page it says "the scheduled task did not run because an incorrect password or user name was used". I specifically would like to run the disk cleanup when ever the system is idle or when she logs on, as for some reason her "compress files" area just fills up a whole bunch each day 32,000 or more. Is there a way we can stop that also?
Thanks,
Jim Wallace

[2003-08-12] Mysterious Error Message

I have just got a new computer with Windows XP installed on it. I have had the usual password problems but it also does not disconnect after receiving/sending mail although I have told it to do so. I also get an error message when I shut down from outlook express - "the instruction at ox 77fs2004 referenced memory at oxo 7f4608 the memory could not be written." Any idea what this means please? And how I can make it disconnect until I get broad band?
[2003-08-12] IE Malfunctioning - Or Is It?
Reader Question:
I have Windows XP home edition with IE ver.6.0 installed on it. My problem is with the IE icon in the bottom toolbar - it will not keep multiple windows open. If I click the back button to access a previous site, the present window closes, meaning I have to retype the address of that site in , or use the drop-down menu, in order to access it again. Any advice? Thanks!
