Both drives may be designated as the prime boot device. You might compare the entries on both drives by using the MSCONFIG utility. As you know with SATA drives there are no jumpers to designate slave or master. Was this supposed to be a dual boot scenario? Hello John

You may want to check your boot designation. Both drives may be designated as the prime boot device. You might compare the entries on both drives by using the MSCONFIG utility. As you know with SATA drives there are no jumpers to designate slave or master.

Was this supposed to be a dual boot scenario?

Mainly, if I press alt+ctrl+del, I get the message: Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator. I am the administrator (only person) on my standalone desktop. I run xp sp2 and up until I downloaded the trojan I used firefox. I can't use firefox any longer even after deleting it and reloading it on my system. Help if you can.

I already have and IDE hard drive as my master. I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP 2, Version 2002. The processor is an INTEL Duo Core processor on and ECS Motherboard. For whatever reason, when I have both hard drives hooked up, the computer goes as far as giving me the information screen, ie BIOS, and then goes blank and goes no further. When I unplug the SATA drive, the computer starts up just fine. I was able to install XP on the SATA drive and it works just fine as a stand alone. Any ideas?

William Snow Says: July 19th, 2007 at 11:37 am The problem is not downloading from your site. That works fine. The problem is the application doesn’t do what it is supposed to. I have downloaded and installed this per instructions but the two new items “Save Desktop Icon Layout” and “Restore Desktop Icon Layout” never show up when you right-click on almost any of the standard desktop icons. I have had two other people download and try this and it didn’t work for them either. Looks like the auther needs to be consulted.

Even though this page addressed an unrelated problem, I submitted comments here because I could find no other place to do it. And for the record I didn't get angry because you show ads. I got angry because you tried to con us by saying the site was changed to make it more user friendly and nothing could be further from the truth. We both know that you changed it for financial reasons. To make these changes is your perrogative but at least be honest and tell us the truth. I interface almost daily with politicians that tell me that they are screwing the public for their own good so I recognize that line of reasoning pretty readily. If you truly care about helping people, allow the following information to be published: For those liking the old forum format, see this site: http://www.5starsupport.com/ipboard/index.php. It is very similar in format to what this site used to have with viewers from all over seeing the questions and providing answers. And best of all, it's free, working on voluntary donations only.

We have considered bringing back the forums but need moderators for it etc. You obviously found where to ask a question on the blog here, I'm not sure why you would call us greedy and get angry that we show ads on part of the site. It's really easy to contact us, just leave a comment on the blog. Maybe we will get the forum back sometime. Have a great day Hi Cashtonh
