- Boot Problem
-
I recently unpartitioned and reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition. When I
boot up I get a black screen with two choices for Windows XP listed. When I
click on either, I can boot to a normal boot. What can I change to avoid the
black screen and boot directly to Windows XP?

- Restore points
-
I have Windows XP Home SP3 on my 6 year old computer that has been working
quite well todate. I discovered today that my System Restore program does
not seem to work correctly. When I set my own restore point it works OK but
the restore points it automatically creates itself every day do not work.
What could be wrong with this and how can this be rectified.

- Persistent folders on desktop
-
Using Windows XP/SP3. I have some folders on my desktop which are empty that
I'd like to get rid of. I put them there myself but even when I delete them
they return when I restart the computer. How do I get rid of them? Renaming
& trashing doesn't help. Nor does emptying the Recycling Bin before
rebooting.
I don't even know where/how to search for this problem! I've tried as many
versions of the question as I can think of.
TIA

- Windows really really slow to start
-
I have XP sp3, fairly new, (notebook for Christmas) not allot of crap
loaded. It has worked fine up until about 2-3 weeks ago. When I turn
it on in the morning (cold start) it will load the desktop image, I
hear the stupid music, then it sits for over a minute before anything
pops up, then it's instant. I can look at the task manager while it's
loading and only about 23-25 of a normal 38-40 processes running but
no cpu activity so I can't tell whats hanging. I tried to do a system
restore but before I did that, I tried the "Diagnostic Startup" in
msconfig and that erased all my restore points (there should be a
warning for that by the way)
I have disabled all the items I think of that could cause it to hang,
like Diskeeper, update services, including Avast, google updater, and
I have checked the logs in everything I can (event viewer etc...)
I do have Process Explorer installed, how can I use that to see whats
going on while windows is starting up? any other ideas on how to track
down the culprit? oh yea, did check for viruses and maleware.

- For what are "desktop.ini" files? Can I delete them?
-
Occasionally I found in various directories hidden files called "desktop.ini".
What is the purpose of them ?
Can it be that they are created from other computers (because the folder is a shared folder) ?
Are they similar to "thumbs.db" files ?
Can I delete them without destroying my own Desktop icons?

- pswd question
-
On XP pro sp3, if I start->run and type control userpasswords2 then hit enter
I get a UserAccts window, I then click the Advanced Tab, I then go down to the
center of the window to the AdvancedUserManagement heading and then look to
the right and click the Advanced button, I get another window called LocalUsersAndGroups,
if I then click Users->MyAcctName I finally get a window that called MyAcctName
Properties, if I look down to the center I see a check box (that is checked) beside a heading
that says, "password never expires".
Ok.......now I go to ControlPanel(ClassicView)->AdminstrativeTools->LocalSecurityPolicy
Then in that window I go to AccountPolices->PasswordPolicy and I click on
Maximum Password Age and it says 42 days ......?? ugh well the control userpasswords2
had just told me that my password would never expire? But now in this windows it says
the maximum age is only 42 days. So searching in Bullshxt land I click on a tab that says
"Explain this Setting" and it says the below
------------
Maximum password age
This security setting determines the period of time (in days) that a password can be used before
the system requires the user to change it. You can set passwords to expire after a number of
days between 1 and 999, or you can specify that passwords never expire by setting the number
of days to 0. If the maximum password age is between 1 and 999 days, the Minimum password
age must be less than the maximum password age. If the maximum password age is set to 0,
the minimum password age can be any value between 0 and 998 days.
------------
It says here (if I understand this ambiguous wording ) that if I set the maxium password age to zero
then it will never expire ? Can anybody explain to me what is going on ? Or more specifically
why does this area seem to disagree with the results of control userpasswords2 ?
I really at this time have no idea what my setting really is ?

- How to Add GBs to Recovery disc D?
-
I'm getting a message on my toolbar which says
"You are running out of disk space on HP_Recovery(D):
To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click
here..."
When I do this, I get 3 choices, each freeing up zero space.
I've defragged and gotten no change.
I've even said delete all but my latest update.
The Pie chart shows almost all space used.
Capacity is 8.50 GB
Free space is 32 MB
On C drive I have 51.3 GB used and 173 GB free space
I've just now disabled Quota Management on C.
D does not give me this option.
I'd be willing to add a few GBs, as I have 250GBs,
but I cannot find a way to do this on my XP Pro.
Is there any way to add GBs to Recovery D?
I would guess that they would need to come from C?
Thanks for any suggestions to keep this pop-up from nagging several
times a day!

- IE 8 secondary window problem?
-
Hi,
Not sure this is the right place to post this question; if not I'd
appreciate a link as to where to do it.
Problem (if it is a problem, well, for me it is a problem!) is that
when I'm on a page in IE 8 and click on something that opens in a
second window (like a news article), the second window is about 1/3
the size of the full window. I have to enlarge it to see the whole
article, video, or whatever. This gets a bit repetitive, and I'd
rather have the second window open to full size but can't figure out
if there's a setting to control it, and if so, which one.
Any help appreciated!!

- Trouble adding user or group
-
Ok, on two of my Home Lan nodes (one is a desktop and other a laptop)
Both running WinXP pro sp3.
I have the following done on BOTH:
1. Created logon passwords for each (desktop & laptop) owner user account.
2. Set simple file sharing OFF, i.e open Explore->Tools->Folder->View
and scrolled down to Use Simple File Sharing and UNCHECKED this.
3. Made sure these two were installed
Client for MS Networks
File & Print Sharing for MS Networks
Did this by going to
NetworkPlaces->ViewNetworkConnections->MyNetworkConnection
and right clicked-> chose properties
4. Rebooted both machines
5. Now when I am booted and logged onto the desktop I can direct my filehandler
to the Network\\SharedFolder location on my Laptop and it does in fact the
pop up and ask me my Laptop password and I can then see the folder contents.
That much works.
HOWEVER, if I log in on my laptop and try to goto the Network\\SharedFolder
location on my desktop I get two scenarios,
1. if I click on the plus + sign of the SharedFolderName I get an
Access Denied msg.
2. if I click on the actual SharedFolderName I get this big long msg that say
"The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials. Try to close all
network paths and disconnect all network drives connected to the specified server.
Then try to connect this network path again."
Which I do but it does not help. I can tell you one thing that is different on my laptop,
When I go to the user accts->myUserAcct->MangagePasswords (off to the left)
it will not let me add the desktop, in fact it won't let me add anything all the headings
are grayed out ????????????
Got any ideas .

MSFT bought the company but never re-released this great program for
copying programs
from an old PC to a new one.
i am buying a new windows 7 PC and would like a good way to copy
applications.
PC relocator would actually copy the registry keys from PC to new PC.
better than reinstalling program after program.

- multiple desktops
-
After I installed XP on my sons computer,I come to find out that he put 3
different desktop areas on the drive.One for him,one for me(guest) and an
administrator. This setup is now causing problems because besides having
basically 3 of everything,there are things I can't do from my area that have
to be done from the admin.area,like download and install programs and
hardware.
My question is this-short of re-formatting the drive is there any way to
combine all 3 areas into one?
Thanks

How does Windows XP decide all services have started and that it's okay to
allow someone to log in?
I would like to make it wait a longer time since some impatient users are
logging in too quickly and complaining when tray icons (for example safe

- Lan security questions
-
Does implementing logon password protection offer any protection against
an online virus or Trojan attack?
Or does it only prevent local physical (or Lan) users from unauthorized access ?
What does the term "common" user account mean ?
Is this the same thing as "limited" user account ?

- CISVC.EXE hogs CPU; is it the same as Windows Search?
-
I recently reformatted the HD and reinstalled windows XP professional SP 3.
It hasn't been right since! One thing is that CISVC.EXE hogs the CPU. I know
how to turn it off, but I don't want to interfere with Windows search, which
I rely on - are CISVC and search the same thing, or not?
If they are the same, then I can't turn CISVC off, so how do I control it?
why is it a problem now, and not before? Since reformatting I have loaded
Norton 360 antivirus, and also installed an external HD. Could these affect
things? There is a very old hotifx reported that CISVC can hog CPU when an
external HD is installed but not physically present. However this should have
been fixed well before SP3. Just to be sure I un-installed the external HD
and the problem is still the same.
Also, windows Search indexing seems to be stuck. In the last day day it has
been running continuously but indexed only about ten files, indeed the total
indexed sometimes goes DOWN, and it is not reporting "indexing completed".
Does this make sense, or is it buganostic?
All thoughts gratefully received!

- How do I access the files in "NetHood" folder ?
-
I started a "move" operation to a remote Computer in WinExplorer by dragging a local folder with files inside onto
a shared folder in "My Network Places". This worked successfully without problems hundred times before.
However this time the folder+files were moved into local folder
D:\Documents and Settings\C\NetHood
Why?
Yes, the remote folder is accessible. When I click on the remote folder then I can see its remote content.
And I have write access.
Lets assume that WinExplorer does not recognize the remote computer: How can I tell him in such a situation
NOT to copy the folder+files to "NetHood" but abort the operation instead?
Furthermore I cannot access my files in "Nethood" in WinExplorer. They are existing because I can see them by a "dir"
cmdline command in Cmdprompt. but when I try to find them in WinExplorer they are not visible.
When I click on
C:\Documents and settings\c\Nethood\transfer on comp23
then the real remote folder content is listed and not the previously copied stuff.
How can I force WinExplorer to show the local files?

When the Plug and Play Service is started automatically at Windows
start is no longer possible to use the taskbar, due at the cursor that
becomes an hourglass, the bar is locked and the windows open are
impossible to close. Is necessary to close xp using the reset button.
If the Plug and Play service is started manually after the boot of xp
everything works fine except the startup programs that required that
service. Any idea?

- How can I control the order of boot seqence
-
I have a (sticky-note like) program that loads at startup and stays in the
system tray. It loads just fine if it loads early in the boot sequence, but
if it loads toward the end, it leaves its tab in the task bar. The only way
to get rid of this is to right click the icon in the systray, choose about
(which opens a box with the version number) and click the OK on that box. I
know this isn't really a big problem, but just annoying.
Is there any way that I can control the order of the boot sequence without
resorting to third party software? I'm running XP Pro SP2 with all SP2
updates.

- Lan access password
-
Running a home Lan, peer to peer WinXP Pro, (no server software)
1. I use WinXP pro sp3 on all my machines on my LAN.
2. We all boot without passwords, I think it defaulted that way at install
giving us the "owner.whatever" account names.
3. We are all on the same named Workgroup
I am not so concerned about boot up login passwords (but will do if necessary)
but I do want to find a way (if possible) to setup LAN access passwords
for each node of the work group.
Can I do this ?
( I have already searched my control panel and cannot find anything on this other
than the standard User Acct passwords which did not cause network access
prompting for a password.)
Also does implementing logon password protection offer any protection against
a virus or Trojan attack, or does it only prevent local physical (or Lan) users from
unauthorized access ?

- Add/Remove in Xp Pro
-
I run XP PRO with SP3
My Add remove page is full of junk that I can't remove because I lost an
external hard drive that contained many programs I used to install on it.
When the external died it took every thing with it but my registry can't
forget those lost programs so they still show on the Add Remove page.
Probably the registry itself is also full of junk but for now I can live
with it.
I need your help in how to clean the Add/Remove page. I understand I must
go into the registry but I don't know where.
Please help.

- XP Repair stuck asking for SP2 CD
-
I've done several XP "Repair" procedures several years back and those experiences left me feeling confident in
performing the procedure. This time, I am feeling like I know nothing. Something new has been introduced into the
game, probably through the updates.
I need to Repair a 2005 Dell Dimension with XP-Pro that was bought used. Hard drive has been replaced and there is not
service partition on it, and I have no CD provided with the system.
I do have a gold XP Pro OEM Original CD, label says "Includes Service Pack 2 Version 2002" I installed it several
years ago when I replaced the motherboard and processor on an e-machine, so I know it is good and has a good key.
I see these files on the CD:

5 Dir(s) 0 bytes free
Using this CD to Repair the Dell, all seems to be going well until I get a prompt to insert my Service Pack 2 CD....
and I do have one.
After I insert the CD and click OK, new popup window tells me it needs file asms. I see that folder asms is in folder i386.
To shorten the story, and the remake of SP2 CD (which does have the i386 folder), I am perplexed why I was asked for the
SP2 CD. And now, why does it not use it when I insert it?
How do I get around this?
Every time I reboot the machine, it comes back to the same place.

- WinXP can no longerwrite to CD/DVD
-
This post is rather long but contains as much detail as I could muster to
help fix my problem. The WindowsHelp and Ttroubleshooter were both useless.
Thank you for your assistance.
Problem: WinXP SP3 (Windows Media player, HP Software and Norton Backup that
worked perfectly untill something broke), can no longer write to DVD/CD
Drive, (ASUS DRW-1814BLT). Inserting previously written discs, all are
readable. However, After re-installing NERO 7, full functionality returned
WITHIN Nero, but "My Computer", Windows Madia Player, Norton Backup etc.
still cannot WRITE to blank discs. Cannot even copy a .txt file to a
writable disc.
Loading a blank Memorex CD-R or Memorex DVD-R, (both worked previously from
the same stacks of blanks). In My Computer DVD/CD drive D: displays 0 bytes
available and 0 bytes used. From within My Computer, attempt to create a
new folder generates error: "Unable to create the folder 'New Folder'' File
System Error (16389).
R-click D:\ - Properties - General displays File System RAW. Used Space 0
Bytes Free Space 0 Bytes, 9same report on any disc tried). Go to "Hardware"
Tab displays; Standard CD/ROM Drives; Location: Location 0 (0). Device
Status: Device is working properly. Under Properties Radio button, same info
as noted above plus Device is "Enabled".
The Device Manager DVD/CD Properties reports the same info, but under under
the DETAILS tab, there seems to be missing configuration data in a few of
the catagories, ie..Under "Compayable Ids, The only entry is Gen CDROM.
Service = cdrom.
I have updated the ASUS driver via flash and updated the rest of the
software drivers drivers that write to the drive. I have deleted the DVD/CD
drive in Device Manager and edited the Registry DATA fields as noted below.
Below that, I have exported the Associated Registry key sub-tree that

I cannot get the power meter and volume control to stay in the task bar. I

disappear. Any suggestions?

- Windows Installer keeps running
-
Roxio Media Manager keeps trying to install on my desktop. The installer is
looking for the CD which of course I do not have. I tried the various MS
support center solutions including disabling the installer via Services.
This did not work. I tried to roll back windows to the last known date
before I had the problem. This did not work either. I tried the next step
which was to install Installer Cleanup Utility. When trying to run the
installation I can't install msicuu2.exe because I get "Error 1500. Another
installation is in progress".
No other installation is in progress, I have re-booted n times, I have swept
for
viruses and spyware, I have followed the tips in the MS kb for manually
removing
particular keys.
I do not have a registry key at
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\InProgress.
Where do I go from here? Can you uninstall windows installer and will that
solve the problem? HELP!!!

- Word 2002 SP3 - Unexpected Problem
-
RE: Spelling/Grammar,
Up until very recently, when I did a spell check I would get the "reading
levels" as well as all counts upon completion. Now, I get nothing and I
suspect that somehow the "Normal" has been changed unknowingly.
I have tried - Detect and Repair
I have tried - Resetting the options
and nothing is working to bring that (in my case) important information
back.
The actual process of Spell/Grammar check seems to work fine however.
Would someone please guide me as to either how to fix this or where to go to
get the info to do so?
Many thanks
Denis

- New HD always working?
-
Hey all. Just got a brand new 1TB hitachi HD from PCW and installed and it
seems to be OK and everything works fine on it. Apart from one thing: it is
always accessing. This happened even before anything was installed at all
and I was hoping it would go away after a driver update and turning off any
background stuff or the indexing service. It's still the same though and it
will 'work' regardless.
Does anyone have any ideas or is it a back to the shop job?
Thank all

- Sharing External HDD over a network
-
I'm running XP SP3 on 3 networked computers. I use an external HDD for
regular backups using Synctoy. The HDD is connected to one desktop by USB;
the desktop is connected to the router by cable the other two wirelessly. I
set the HDD to share over the network, of course, but whenever I switch it
on to do a backup I have to reset the sharing. Is there some way of fixing
the sharing mode? I've tried mapping but it still reverts when switched off.
Suggestions would be welcome.
TIA

- Missing some games and accessories
-
I somehow have managed to lose some games and accessories on my computer. I
don't have the installation disc anymore. I have tried previous suggestions
posted on this site to no avail. I do seem to have spider and wordpad.
pinball has a screen that pops up then goes away. But no paint or calculator,
the things I use most often. Somebody please help me! My daughter is driving
me nuts wanting to use the paint. I have Windows XP.

- no ps/2
-
I'm trying to use the recovery console, but usb keyboard and mouse won't
work. Keyboard and mouse are loaded at start up, but stop responding after
xp from cd is loaded. I can not use ps/2 as my Gateway has no ps/2
connections.
Need recovery console to fix invalid boot.ini which is preventing computer
from booting (keeps starting over. Loads bios and then invalid boot.ini and
then starts again.)
No mouse or keyboard with Barts PE. Do have with knoppix.
Thanks

- excel 2002
-
Some time ago, I developed an excel 2002 workbook for someone I knew.
Now, the people using it are converting from XP to Win7, and they tell
me the .xls doesn't work. Specifically, it has a commandbutton that
runs some VBA code, which (button) doesn't respond (at all) when they
click on it. They can enter values in cells, etc.
I'm going to go there and look things over. But, meantime, if there's
an "Oh, yeah, all you've gotta do is ...", please feel free to share.
Thanks,
George

- Reinstall XP Home, keeping desktop layout?
-
I have one machine with XP Home SP3 that is acting strangely --
sometimes reads FAT(32) media, sometimes won't; sometimes takes for ever
to boot; sometimes takes many attempts before it will shut down; etc. I
think it's time to reinstall; I'll try a repair install first (I have an
SP2 CD), but if that doesn't work I'll start over.
All I have on C: is the OS itself and apps that refused to install to
D:, which is my Apps drive. All my downloaded stuff is on E:, backups on X:.
If I create an "archive" using Files and Settings Transfer, can I select
what gets copied back? I assume that transferring all the old registry
settings would not be smart. Can I save the Desktop layout?

- Hyperterm
-
I need to use hyperterm at 7e1 and it keeps reverting to 8n1
as soon as it dials. Why?
Apparently coretel fine transfer needs 7e1. It only works with a
different dialup software from DOS.
