- Windows XP Security >> KB835732 Security UpdateI've been looking everywhere for how to stop this pesky
critical update from refusing to recognise that it's
already been installed (umpteen times!) to my XP home SP1
system. I thought the problem had gone away, but it's back
again today - the auto update icon's even refusing to
close at the moment.
Can anyone help, please?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Windows won't startToday I bought a new power source, processor and motherboard. I go the guys at the store put the processor onto the motherboard for me so this shouldn't be the problem and the powersource is working right now with the old stuff so.... The problem will most likely be the motherboard.
When I start up my computer the screen stays blank (the green power button on the monitor blinks green). My HD tries to read info (i think) every min or so. If I have a cd in the cd rom every 30 seconds about I get 2 beeps, a pause and then 5 beeps. That's it.
Intel's site suggested it is a RAM problem. The guys at the store said the one stick or RAM I brought with me as a confirmation should do just fine with all the new stuff. I have 3 sticks or completely different RAM and I tried all 3 individually and in pairs and got the same results.
Someone has said to "Perform an In-Place Upgrade of Windows XP" but how would I do this or how would it work if nothing will load at all? Here's the info for the new stuff I bought ... I'm running on XP Hom
Motherboard: D865PERLX ATX P4 800/533MHZ FSB - Inte
Processor: P4 mPGA478 2.40C GHZ 512KB 800MHZ FSB - Inte
Power Supply: 300W ATX PS
Hopefully I can get some feedback by tomorrow so I can get this all fixed up. Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Update >> GetUserTokenFromSessionId failed with hr 0x800704ddThis is the first error in the log. Symptom: Updates download but fail to
install. Each one can be manually downloaded and installed, but that is no
permanent solution. I did extensive research on this issue. Lots of people
complaining, a number of solutions offered, none of them worked for me or for
almost anyone else.
This is on a friend's computer, Windows XP Home Edition. It had a lot of
malware, which I cleaned manually. (The computer is clean according to
SpyBot-S&D and security.symantec.com.) Now everything appears to be working
fine except the WU feature. Maybe there is some remaining corruption in the
system. Installing SP2 didn't help (neither did sfc/scannow). Unfortunately,
I don't have the Windows installation CD to do Repair. That would be my last
resort.
Here is an incidental finding, which might provide a clue to someone else:
Knowing that errors are often misreported, I tried running RegMon and FileMon
with hopes of seeing where actually the error occurs. However, these tools
fail to start, with an error like "Error loading REGMON70: Cannot create a
file when that file already exists. Make sure that your account has the load
driver privilege and
and that Regmon is not already running." I suspect the actual error is
misreported in this case too (ironically), but there is perhaps some
connection with the WU error since they are both security-related.
Following is the relevant snippet of the WU log:
2005-04-08 11:08:33-0500 996 510 WU client executing call
{32BABD7F-BBCF-4E27-BD35-51C2D6221408} of type Install call

2005-04-08 11:08:34-0500 996 510 WU client calls back to install call
{32BABD7F-BBCF-4E27-BD35-51C2D6221408} with code Call failed and error
0x80240020
Anyone, any idea?

- Windows XP >> XP activation sitehttp://www.microsoft.com/piracy/basics/activation/
I think they need to get a different picture on the XP
activation-piracy site.
The man just looks like: "I dare you to install one XP on
two+ computers".
Or: "you are going to have to get another XP software and
I will make more money".
And: "we have figured out how to create more door stops
and/or boat anchors".
Can we say good TopTen list.
Don't delay. Procrastinate now. (Ellen DeGeneres)

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Toolbar won't lock in Windows ExplorerMOST of the time I do not have this problem but randomly Windows Explorer 'forgets' my settings fo
1) no text on icons &
2) the position of the toolbar
I have 'Lock the Toolbars' ticked all the time but every now and then WinXP just resets it all back to default settings; I change it back to my preferred place; maybe the same day or maybe weeks later WinXP resets it. I have scanned with 2 AVs/SpywareRemovers and can find no viri or nasties
I have been trying to track this down to some activity I do but I just can't correlate it with anything. I have no problem in IE, only WinExplorer
Any clues or suggestion
Regards, Freddy

- Windows XP >> History listsIf you right-click on the desktop and select New-
>Shortcut, a "Create Shortcut" wizard pops open. There is
a dialog box under the text "Type the location of the
item:", and the cursor is in the box. If you type a
letter, say, starting with a and going through z,
occasionally some information will appear in a dropdown
list (if I type 'g', it lists several Google URLs). My
question is where is this list maintained and how do I
clear it?
Thanks,

Cross check with another information tool - eg get the free Aida 32,
enterprise edition from
http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32

Thank you in advance for your suggestions on methodology or procedures.

- Windows XP Support >> Unable to add local printerI have an XP laptop with all updates. I can add network printers, however,
my nephew is taking the machine to college with him, and would like a local
printer. When I try to add a local printer attached to this computer,
unchecked p&p, select using following port LPT1, then instead of a list of
printers, there is a message in the box that says unable to find any drivers
for this device (and of course there is nothing listed). I replaced the
drivers.cab from another system that works (gives a list of printers), same
thing. Not sure where to go next, and I really don't want to
reinstall....does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

- Windows XP >> Windows Explorer CrashesWhenever I open Windows Explorer and right click
on "properties" for my main disk "C" (40 GBytes) the
program crashes and then reloads. Sometimes it happens at
once, other times it takes a few seconds.
It ALWAYS happens:
- even after I do a diagnostic clean boot
- even after I have reinstalled windows from the CD
- even when I use Powerdesk instead of Explorer
- even after I have fully checked the disk with Norton
DD.
It does NOT happen:
- on my Disk D which is an external USB hard disk
- on any single or multiple directory within disk C
- on "My computer"
- on "My desktop"
I am running XP pro on a Toshiba 2435 laptop with 512 Mb
of memory and plenty of disk space. I've installed all
microsoft updates.
Has anyone else ever had a problem like this, or have a
suggestion of what else to try?
Thanks
