Touchpad Controls
The laptop I'm using has a Synaptics Touchpad that I need to constantly
readjust because it periodically returns to the original settings. It
especially seems like I'm always readjusting the "Enable Tapping" and "Touch
Sensitivity" controls. Is there a way to set them once and make them
permanent? I've been making the adjustments from the Mouse icon in the
Control Panel.

XP Add Remove Programs Utility
Hi
I removed a program using the "uninstall" option for the program. I did this
rather than use the subject because there was an issue when I tried to do
this. I also cleaned up any traces of the removed program from my computer
(empty folders etc.). However, when I returned to the subject I noticed that
the program appeared there. When I tried to remove it I got an error message:

CD image files created by RecordNow!
My Compaq Presario laptop was destroyed by lightning, and now I have a
Gateway laptop. I copied files from my old computer's hard drive to my
new computer, but I don't know what to do about some CD image files
which have HP/Compaq's "RecordNow!" format with the ".gi" file extension.
I discovered IsoBuster, which looks as if it might work, but it's not free.
I tried changing the file exte...

Registry Repair Programmes
Our office PCs run very slow. I have seen a programme called XP Medic but
couldn't find out much about it and it is not on any site I know enough to
trust. Is there a programme for XP (and it's technologically challenged
users) to easily correct the registry to optimise the running. I have done
the basics like defragging, disk cleaning and spyware programmes. Any
suggestions?...

Computer Starting to Slowdown?!?
My computer is approximately 2 months old and now has just recently

scanned for viruses, malware/spyware, uninstalled unecessary programs,
defragmentized the hard drive, run diskcheck and cleared cookies and
temporary files from Internet Explorer. After a few hrs the system
slows down substantially thus making it difficult to...

Drive letters changing themselves?
Two optical drives, changed them to Y & Z and a secondary SATA drive, two
partitions set as W & X
OK for a long time but now the optical drives have reverted to G & H and the
partitions on HDD to I & J. D, E & F used for another HDD.
Why is this happening and how can I stop it happening again if I re-assign
drive letters?
Replies appreciated.

Reinstall LEGAL Win XP, but no disk
I need to reinstall Windows Xp Home on my Dell computer, but for the life of
me I can't find the disk.
I have heard that I can use any XP disk, so long as I use the registration
information that is on the sticker on the side of my computer.
Is this true? If so, does it have to be an XP Home disk or can it be any XP
Disk?
And will it hurt anything if I don't load all the extra Dell ...
