Re: Weird Problem

Hi,

Sourcepath would be a string in the setup key, so it would appear on the
right side as a string value, and the contents would be the location of the
I386 folder (so if it was C:\I386, the string value would be C:\).

Hey Rick,
No problems on the machine, just thought I would run the 'sfc
/scannow' for the heck of it. Well, it shows a number of problems with
the DLL cache and to insert the XP disk. I cancelled out of the sfc
without using the disk. Upon investigating, I found I was supposed to
have an entry in the Reg:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath

I have the entry up to the "Setup", but, there is no "Source Path."
As everything seems to be running fine, is this something I need to
correct with the original XP disk?? I have since installed all the
updates and SP2....using the original install disk would, itself, cause
problems...would it not?? I am very unsure how to proceed from here.
Heirloom, old and should have
left well enough alone

Hi,

Sounds odd, try running sfc /scannow from the run prompt to detect and
replace corrupted or damaged system files.

I have a problem on my XP Pro machine where every once in a while for no
apparent reason if I open my Start menu, the Frequently Used Programs
list will be black and I have My Computer, Control Panel etc. set to
display as menus, if I highlight them, they do not open, but if I click
on them the associated item opens in Windows Explorer. Also if I click on
my run box I get a message stating that "A shortcut cannot be placed
here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?" and
the double arrow of my Quick Launch toolbar stops responding. If I reboot
my machine the problem goes away until it decides to return again, which
seems to be more and more frequently. Also upon rebooting I have to set
my Quick Launch toolbar to be placed back on my taskbar. Any ideas what
might be causing this and a possible resolution short of a
reformat/reinstall?

TIA
