Chinese character show as ??
Greeting, I have XP Pro SP2 and text editor TextPad installed on two computers. I enter some Chinese characters in a TextPad on one computer, it looked good. But when I Save it, all text became question marks. I suspect it is not saved as ANSI code, therefore after Save, the text changed to ?????. Yet on the other computer, it works just fine. I verified the settings on Regional and L...

System Restore
Hello, I am having a problem with a program called "Configsafe". It is a program that does the exact same thing as Windows system restore. I need to uninstall Configsafe.

I want to erase all of my files on the hard drive of my computer and reinstall XP Pro. I can't seem to get my comp to erase any of my files using the Windows xp Pro operating system disk.

The old one was a 400 as well but...

Any idea on how to undo this? Screenshot here: http://img215....
