How to prevent Windows will ask for the rename a file if another one exists with the same name. For example if there is a file on your desktop called "jpgfile.jpg" and you have another copy another file with the same name at your desktop,when you move the jpg file to the folder that contain "jpgfile.jpg" Windows will ask for the rename...
Is that any software that can automatically rename the new file to jpgfile(1).jpg, allowing the 2 files to co-exist without you having to manually change either name?

Possible causes for memory problems:
- - bad memory RAM Quality
- - CPU problems (CPU voltages too low, overheating, damaged core)
- - heat problems
- - power problems (memory voltages too low)
- - wrong settings (set your BIOS' memory settings to "SPD")
- - compatibility problems (with mainboard, chipset or other installed memory modules)

Windows System Restore Utility Problems And Usage
I am not a big fan of Windows System restore ,for your information,By default Windows creates restore points at the time of significant system events.I is a handy tool free from Micresost.However,you should too rely on it,there are many factors thast can make Windows System Restore Utility Quits and All Restore Points Are Deleted! ...
Windows System Restore Utility Quits and All Restore Points Are Deleted!
-- System restore folder or Windows Registry is corrupt
-- Not enough hard-disk space to retain system restore points
-- A system utility program or antivirus that is set to automatically clean
up restore points
-- Virus or malware in system disabling system restore
How to Enable and Disable Windows XP's System Restore feature
System Restore (restorept.api) is a new Windows XP feature that's similar to "Last Known Configuration." However, System Restore maintains multiple restore points instead of one last restore point. The user can manually create restore points, or System Restore can keep restore points during the following operations:
Installing new software, if the application uses a current installer that is System Restore-compliant, Using AutoUpdate, During a restore operation, During a Microsoft backup or recovery operation, Installing an unsigned driver, Automatically following 24 hours of inactivity.
By default, System Restore monitors all partitions. So, for example, if you delete an executable file, you can have the system state revert to a specific restore point to recreate or repair the executable file. When you revert to a restore point, however, you lose all changes since that point, except for changes to files in the My Documents folder and documents you've created with applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
If you use System Restore and don't like the new system state, you can undo the process and restore the machine to the system state it had before you ran System Restore. Alternatively, you can run System Restore to change the system state to a different restore point.
To enable or disable System Restore, perform the following steps:
Start the System Control Panel applet. Select the System Restore tab. Clear the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box to enable System Restore, or select this check box to disable System Restore. Click OK. Also here:
To delete older restore points, but leave the system restore turned on: Right Click the Drive in question/Properties/Disk Cleanup/More Options/System Restore/Cleanup.
You can also click the Settings button to set a maximum amount of space that you want each drive to use for restore information. If the drive you select isn't the system drive, you can also disable System Restore on a per-drive basis. The maximum amount of space that you can use for restore information is 12 percent per drive.
An alternative to the usual method of enabling and disabling Windows XP's System Restore feature is to use the registry. To use this alternative, perform the following steps: Start the registry editor (regedit.exe).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore.
If a "DisableSR" value doesn't exist, go to the Edit menu, select New, DWORD value, and create the value.
Set the value to 1 to disable System Restore or 0 to enable System Restore.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sr to prevent the System Restore service from starting.

Solution for Memory error 0x00000000
If windows prompt you with the following error message:
When launching a application the :"0x745f2780" reference memory at "0x00000000". the memory could not be written/read'
On further diagnostic:
Faulting application svchost.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module msi.dll, version 3.1.4000.2435, fault address 0x00******.
Once this error is closed you can't start anything and XP crashes when trying to shut down.
Fortunately, if you don't close any of the error messages down, Windows still works.
This problem may be due to several factors:
Hardware failure( RAM memory is not working properly or is damaged)
The management of applications running is not effectively achieved by your system
Hard disk is saturated.
Your PC is infected with malwares or virus.
Windows Update is not working properly.
Check if the RAM memory is working properly
Check out if your RAM memory is working properly. Cick on link below:

The problem may occurs when opening a folder containing a lot of multimedia files, it may be related to the extraction of the data found on these files by Windows.
Solution:
Simply boost your processor to its maximum output (99-100%).
Hard disk and virtual memory status
Your system lacks memory or that your hard disk is saturated and is can’t perform file swapping effectively.
Solution:
Clean out your hard disk form unnecessary files (mostly “Temporary Internet Files�) and stop all applications running in the background to save memory.
Your PC is infected
Your system memory has been infected (virus, malware, spyware).Scan your system for malwares and if found clean them out.
