- Windows XP Setup >> Erro message trying to upgrade Win98SE to XP ProWhen trying to upgrade, the "Starting Setup" dialog appears for several

I have cleaned the disk and it appears to work fine on another machine.

- Windows XP Support >> Folder not displayed in Windows ExplorerI have a new notebook with Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2.
I have a folder called "HP Notebook" under the C drive that I created
last week and used to contain certain files from my old notebook
restored from an external HD using Windows Backup utility. Everything
worked fine last week.
I decided to delete everything under this folder and restore every
users documents and settings from the external HD (no system stuff).
The backup utility seemed to work OK and said it completed 14,000+
files.
When I looked for C:\HP Notebook using Windows Explorer, it was not
visible. However, if I search for a file that I know exists, the
results show "C:\HP Notebook\...directory path
further...\searchedfilename".
In Control Panel, I think I have everything set to display all folders
regardless of what they are (Hidden, System, etc.).
I'd like to delete this "hidden" folder. Can someone help?
Thanks,
Mike

- Windows XP Network >> Issue with Remote Desktop ConnectionFirst time I've posted to this group. Let me know if there is another
group that would be better to post this in.
I have been using Remote Desktop to connect to various different
computers running XP Pro from another XP Pro machine.
I've been having problems with two of them, which seem to have the same
symptoms.
* After I restart them I can log in using Remote Desktop just fine.
Later I can not and have to restart the remote system.
* I have tied to make sure I "log off" the remote machine instead of
just closing the remote desktop window.
* When it fails, it usually connects and asks for credentials. After
submitting my user name and password it just sits there for a while then
the window closes.
* One of the machines is also connected to it's own
monitor/keyboard/mouse. When I'm having connection problems I can not
get it to display anything on the monitor. There is a printer connected
to it, and that and other services continue to work, so I know the
system is still running.
* I have tried disabling sleep mode on both machines, but no luck.
* I have not seen any messages in the Event logs that appear to be
connected to this.
* One machine is on a domain with a SBS 2003 server. I can login to the
server and manage the remote machine. I can not remotely restart the
machine from the server unless I tell it to force hung applications to quit.
From all this I wonder if the some service used by remote desktop is
not closing properly when I log off the remote machine and is not
letting me login again since it is still running.
Any thoughts or ideas would be great!

- Windows XP >> svchostI have a machine running Windows XP. Quite frequently the
machine shuts down when connected to the internet. I know
this sounds like the recent Blaster virus but I have
patched the machine, scanned for viruses and nothing has
been found, all up to date.
I have an svchost file which is running at around
270,000kb which I think is particularly high. I tend to
get an error warning about Virtual Memory but I have tried
all configs for this without success. I have 512mb RAM and
a 60GB HDD. If I remove my USB Scanner and Web Cam, the
svchost file reduces in size to 3500kb. Surely this is
wrong. It stops the virtual memory message from popping up
too.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and did you find a
solution? I don't want to have to re-install everything
on my machine if I don't need to.

- Windows XP Support >> download problemsi get this message when i am trying to down load, "source file could not be
read, contact server administrator", when downloading. They are rather large
files, 50 to 100 megs, i am using regular dial-up, they end up being 4-5 hour
downloads, they get half way thru, then the error message. any ideas? it
happened on 2 different web sites, with 2 different computers, with 2
different files.

- Windows XP Support >> Replacing that awful MS Sans Serif font!I just got a shiny new LCD monitor, turned on ClearType, and am living in a
world of crisp font goodness like I never thought possible.
All of this comes to a crashing halt when I look at some of the utilities I
use every day, like the K9 spam filter. These programs use the bitmapped "MS
Sans Serif" font, which looks HORRIBLE on my new screen. The small,
pixelated characters almost appear to have a white aura around them -- an
optical illusion which makes text very hard to read.
I did find references to the FontSubstitutes registry key, but "MS Shell
Dlg" is already pointing to the antialiased "Microsoft Sans Serif".
Is there something, anything, I can do to force Windows to use "Microsoft
Sans Serif" (which I assume has the same character set and widths as its
ugly cousin) instead of "MS Sans Serif"? Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> Most used documents.Anyone know a reason why I on occasion lose my list of recently used files
in EXCEL.
No recent changes made to press--not just compacted. Just used yesterday and
no list when opening today but it is listing those now used.
Asking here as MOST USED DOCUMENTS are common throughout MS programs under
FILE dropdown and they remained in Wopd.
Thanks

- Windows XP >> !Perdita X. Dream/Nitt!If you've ever had your head ripped off by Perdita X. Dream/Nitt, Amethyst,
Cassandra or any other of her aliases, just forget about it. She is (as my
sig says), a self-righteous, ruthless net-cop. Now, I'm not saying that her
information is incorrect (and vise-versa), just that she tends to explode on
people a little too much. So just like in the real world, just ignore
people like them, (unless they are actually a cop :-P), make sure that you
are not actually doing something that is horribly wrong, and keep on typing.
BTW, you may find the below interesting:
OP:
my current win xp Pro user interface is in Lithuanian.
how can i change it to English please?
Me:
I heard something about a Multilingual User Interface component for Pro.
It's from MS, but I'm not sure if it's included in Pro.
PXD:
You are wrong (again!), no such thing exists. There is a MUI for Office
(applies to VL only) but not Windows.
Me:
Maybe you need to do a little research (again!)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/howtobuy/choosing2.asp
it's right down at the very bottom.
Please keep your rudeness and ignorance to yourself.
PXD:
That's for OL/VL only. This http://tinyurl.com/iz3k is a link to at least
three dozen people who agree with me. Guess I'm not the ignorant one, huh?
Me:
Hey ignoranus, thats not what you said. You said, "There is a MUI for Office
(applies to VL only) but not Windows."
It just goes to show, that having more than one opinion is important. It's
great that the OP didn't only hear PXD's 'expert' (her words not mine)
advice. And for someone with an English degree, you would think that she'd
read a little more carefully.
No doubt however, I will receive replies from PXD, Bruce Chambers, and a few
others, saying how I am a 'fuckwit', 'moron', or 'lazy cretin, but read this
for yourself, and make you're own decision.

- Windows XP Setup >> can't get WinXPHome to renistall or recoverI added a NVidia AGP 4x video card. It worked but then in
certain applications the background went to black. I
tried to reboot the system but when it got to the WInXP
splashscreen with the green running indicators on it,
after a bit they stopped and a blue screen appeared
indicating a registry probem and that it couldn't load.
To goback and try safe mode, etc. For safe mode, safe
mode in command mode, restarting with most recent good
configuration, start in normal mode, all I got was the
starting windows splash and then the blue screen
indicating registery problem. I put in my XPHome cd and
booted from there and tried recovery but I got the blue
screen and it rebooted itself. I then tried the XP Home
install. The program started, went to the searching for
prior installation, then went to the registery problem
blue page. I will not let me reinstall because when it
searches for prior installations, it encounters a
registery problem. any help would be appreciated.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Screen behavior or ?Hello Experts,
I'm facing a problem on my PC regarding my screen that flashing,
every 20-30 seconds screen blinks/flashes like doing some refreshing.
For example when open (from tray) the date & time properties (double
click on the clock):
1) picking another month from the combo box
2) waiting 30 seconds
3) automatically returns to current month (March '07)
This blinking is obvious anywhere in windows. Another example is that
the language indicator in taskbar, disappears and then appears again.
Finally, some times when working on MS Access 2003, I'm trying to copy
a value from the datasheet of the table and paste it somewhere else.
Copy fails in first or second time.
I think that some spyware might cause this, but I have installed
a good Anti-Spyware to protect my PC. Of course not all Anti-Spywares
protect us from all spywares. I always keep it up to date.
Can you please help me with that?

- customize >> standby mode with multiple user profilesI have just created user profile for my daughter. Before
that, there was only 1 profile on my system, and
everything was hunky dory. Since adding the extra
profile, my computer will not go into standby mode. The
settings in my profile are set to go to standby after 20
minutes. In her profile it will not allow me change the
settings. So, how can I get A: the system to go into
standby mode, and B: how can I change the settings in her
profile?
Thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> XP setup failureI just installed a new Intel motherboard (D875PBZ) and P4
processor, with 2 256 dimms (333--these are the correct
dimms for this P4), and I can access the bios, but when I
start the xp install, I get to the agreement page, press
f8 to install, then I get the following error message:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
STOP: 0X00000050 (0XC2F00000, 0X00000000, 0X809013D1,
0X00000000)
I have read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article re:
0x00000050 stop errors, and I have switched the dimms,
but that has not helped. I cannot access the cached
settings in the bios--there doesn't seem to be a way to
do this in this particular bios. Can't get to a dos
prompt, either, with Fix-It Utilities.
Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance.
