OK, can you please tell us which version and edition of Windows you are 
using so we can suggest a good group for your question?
This .NET programming group is not likely to yield too much in the way of 
help.

It helps me show you how to find an appropriate group for your question:

You need a Windows XP group, rather than in this .NET programming group.
To find the group you need:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?guid=1080912A-26C5-7040-AFDD-2224A4FEB3EA

Then open your language in the TreeView on the left, scroll down to
"Windows", open and scroll down to "Windows XP" and
select a group from that category.
