Trying to prevent reformatting nightmare
So I have windows xp media center and I've had it for awhile and I want to reformat it, long story short, just to iron out some bugs that have accumulated over the years (yes I've tried other fixes already). But I'm scared to death it's not going to recognize my sata HD and I don't have a diskette drive and I think I... 29 Jun 2010 15:12

Can't get Windows XP SP3 to recognise my Canon SX120 IS camera
Many thanks The camera did come with software, which I have tried un-installing and re-installing without success. The software does appear to be optional - it says-so in the manual, and the camera is recognised by a different PC that doesn't have the software installed.

HELP!!!!! Stop:c000021a

No early system restore points
I've had an EeePC netbook with Win XP Home SP3 for just over 2 years. A long time ago, hibernate stopped working -- I was told to do a system restore, but that never happened as I was then only using it intermittently. Now that I'm using it more regularly, hibernate still does not work and the computer is gra... 29 Jun 2010 20:44
