| "Cannot read subscription data. You may need administrator privileges"- Norton Antivirus 2003 error message | Appears
to pop up at random (Windows XP). Tried several solutions (including re-downloading
Live Update and Live Reg, as advised by Symantec. An un-install, then
a re-install of Norton Anti-Virus solved this. Update: Aug 2003. Thanks to Mike for supplying a full solution from Norton - This has now been added to the FileSaveAs solution page |
| Unable to open the file medctroc.inf (Appeared when trying to Add/Remove a built-in Windows XP application) | Managed
to resolve this by assuming the file was corrupt and replacing c:\windows\inf\medctroc.inf
with the copy found in C:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386. |
| Outlook problem: MAPI was unable to load the information service PSTRRX.DLL | Error
appeared trying to start Outlook 2002 after messing around with an old
version of Outlook 2002 on a secondary user. Article
293058 on Microsoft Knowledgebase is helpful. Suggests installing
Office XP Service Pack 1, which was already installed. Tried installing
again, but was told it was installed. Tried uninstall of Outlook, then
downloaded large Service Pack. Didn't fix it. Eventually, all I had to
do was a quick fix in Control panel: Control panel | Mail | Show profiles.
"Use this profile. Always use this profile:". Change this to
"Outlook". Don't know if the Service Pack helped, but try this
before downloading the SP, just in case. |
| Slow boot-up of Windows XP | Found
a useful snippet in a PC magazine, suggesting using a tool released by
Microsoft, Bootvis
. This shaved a few seconds off boot-up time, and appears
to have mixed results depending on your config. Worth a try! |
| Fax printers are inaccessible | If
you have a problem with fax printing from Windows XP, and see "connection
error" or "All fax printers are inaccessible" in the "Fax
Printers Status" area, try running faxfig.reg.
 This
is a small registry file that fixes the Windows XP problem with the fax
monitor. clicking this file adds a registry entry to fix the problem.
Save the file onto the hard-disk, then from File Explorer, right-click
the file and select 'Merge'. |
| Panasonic SV-SD70-A | If
you're hunting for the software for the Panasonic SV-SD70 or SV-SD75 MP3
player (SD card), or can't get running with the SD-Jukebox, Panasonic
Media Manager, or the RealJukebox for Panasonic plug-in, take a look at
the Panasonic SV-SD70 help page. |
| Motorola TA200 walkie talkie | Excellent
walkie-talkies, sadly they don't seem to be available any more. If you're
looking for a review, or a copy of the manual, go to the FileSaveAs Motorola
TA200 page. |
