- Windows XP >> 16 bit apps in XPI have two 16 bit applications that run just fine when an
XP administrator is logged in, but when an XP limited user
tries to run them, a box pops up:
16 Bit Windows Subsystem
C:\DOCUME~1\karen\LOCALS~1\Temp\. A temporary file needed
for initialization could not be created or could not be
written to. Make sure that the directory path exists, and
disk space is available. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.
Close Ignore
I checked access priviledges on that folder, and both
Windows Explorer and cacls.exe agree the limited user has
FULL (F) rights to the folder. I tried changing the
environment variables to other folders, such as C:\TEMP.
As far as I know, 16 bit apps don't even know about the
registry, so it's not something application specific.
Why will this run as an administrator, but not as a
limited user?

- Windows XP >> File names in blue and blackCould someone please tell me why some of my file names (in my documents, they

- customize >> mount pointsAm I correct in thinking that it is not possible to mount a Unix (i.e.
Samba) sharepoint
in any other way than as a drive letter? That is, if I have a Unix drive on
the network, I can mount it as, say, F:\, but I can't mount it as
C:\mnt\UnixDrive\.
(I could mount the sharepoint in the way I want under CygWin, but it would
not be visible in that way to ordinary Windows programs.)

- Windows XP >> speaker icon dissappears from notification areaThere being various users on this pc, I often find that the volume control
icon has disappeared from my notification area. The 'customise section' of
the task bar properties does not seem to have a way of moving the icon from
the previously in use area, back to the currently in use area. How can one
get the control back without rebooting?
Cheers,

Hi, you need to do a clean install of Windows XP Home if you wish to make
this change.
NOTE: Windows XP Professional has "everything" Windows XP Home has with
additional features.

There is no downgrade possible. You need to a clean
installataion. Just boot from the Windows XP CD and follow the
prompts for a clean installation. It will do the reformat for
you.

Yes, it will wipe your hard drive clean and install XP Home.
The Windows XP CD is bootable and contains all the tools necessary to
partition and format your drive. Follow this procedure and allow Windows XP
to partition and format your drive:
1. Open your BIOS and set your CD Drive as the first bootable device.
2. Insert your Windows XP CD in the CD Drive and reboot your computer.
3. You'll see a message to boot to the CD....follow the instructions.
4. The setup menu will appear and you should elect to delete the existing
Windows partitions, then create a new partition, then format the primary
partition (preferably NTFS) and proceed to install Windows XP.
5. Clean Install Windows XP

6. After installing Windows XP, be sure and visit the support website of
the manufacturer of the computer to download and install any available
Windows XP compatible drivers, such as video adapter and audio drivers.

- Windows XP Security >> How to load default policy settings?Hi,
I went to a school in Denver and for security reasons the
administrators there disabled wireless access. My laptop can't see any
wireless networks now, though the device manager shows the wireless
card is active and enabled.
I think they disabled a few other things that I don't know. I'm the
administrator of the laptop and always login as administrator to my
local machine. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall the whole
operating system.
Is there any way to load all the windows xp default policy settings?
Please help.
Thanks
Ganesh.

- Windows XP >> OEM XP loaded onto 2nd computer accidentallyMy younger son's computer was acting up, so my older son took his OEM version
of XP w/SP2 (German Version) and loaded it over the OEM XP (English version)
on his computer. The computer worked, but now comes a message saying that XP
must be activated. I know that you can't run XP on 2 computers, but my
darling children didn't when they did this without asking first. I tried to
turn-back his computer to an earlier date, but that didn't work. If I buy a
new version of XP, will I be able to install it? Can I de-install the German
version of XP from the promp in the safety start-up mode? I don't think I
can/should activate it due to the program already being on my older boy's
computer.
Thanks In Advance

- Windows XP Hardware >> Plug in new IDE HDD causes reboot on XP load?I recently built a new machine, and want to transfer the data from my
old rig. I have setup a dual boot Win98SE/XP system. Once all the
drivers were installed, I plugged my old XP drive into IDE 1 and it
was detected by the BIOS with no problems. I then tried to boot into
XP, but before it reaches the signon screen, the PC reboots! I have
tried running in safe mode, connecting the drive as slave/master on
both channels, and altering the boot order. Nothing helps. I know the
boot order is correct, because my dual boot startup appears every
time.
I suspect the cause may be that drive I plugged in also has a full XP
install on it, and is somehow interfering. I cannot think how this
could happen though. Can anyone let me know how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> client machine not registering with DNSWe have "some" machines that fail to register with the dynamic DNS.
The machines are all part of the Active Directory, and I can see the
machines in the Computer OU. However nslookup on the machine name
fails. This only happens with a handful of machines. The rest of them
register with the DNS fine. All the machine are identical.
We use BIND for dynamic DNS.
I have already tried uninstalling / reinstalling the network driver,
repairing the TCP/IP stack, and re-installing the Printer and File
Sharing client.
Anyway to force the machine to register itself with the DNS?
