virus of some kind. I nenamed the file and stopped the
service.

- Windows XP Network >> suddenly can't configure network connectionsSince a week or so ago I have been unable to change my network settings, even
though the network is working.
I have a toshiba sattelite M45 S2652 with Windows XP Home, I presume SP2
It has built in wireless and ethernet connections, both of which have been
working perfectly up till a few days ago.
I usually set my IPs manually, this has been working fine for a few months.
I do it by opening the network connections window, right-clicking on one of
the connections, and selecting Properties. This brings up a dialog box where
I can set the TCP/IP configuration of the connection.
But a week or so ago, the Network Connection Properties dialog box began
appearing empty. Not blank, but just with none of the details filled in. The
cursor shows as an hourglass when hovering over the dialog box. The situation
does not change for hours, the information never appears. I have noticed that
CPU activity jumps to 100%, with Explorer using about 95% of it. If I try to
close the dialog box, it is reported as "Not Responding" and I must "End
Task", which causes Explorer to reset (i.e. the task bar and desktop icons
disappear for a moment).
This happens with both the ethernet connection and the wireless connection.
Also, of the little process icons that should come up on the right of the
task bar, the two network icons no longer come up.
Also, if I select "Status" from the right-click menu of either connection,
nothing happens: no dialog box appears.
But my home network (which uses the wireless connection) still works fine. I
just can't change the settings.
I think that the problem may have coincided with installing new software,
but I have uninstalled everything I can think of with no results. I also
installed the new windows patch (the one addressing the wmf problem) at the
same time.
If some system library file or files might have been affected, I'd be
grateful if anyone could let me know which ones they might be, so I can see
about replacing them with uncorrupted versions.
Alternatively, if I could learn somewhere how to set up my network
connections manually from the command-prompt, this would be an acceptable
work-around.
Thanks for any and all help.

- Windows XP Network >> Windows explorer stops repondiongI configured my home network by the wizard and had
connections rpoblems, specially sharing the internet
connection. Then I manually configured the network and
fixed the internet connecgtion, connection to shared
printer is fine, but when I need to browse other drives
on the network and open My Network places or clcik on the
network drives in explorer, they stop responding and I
had to close them with task manager, After that when I
reopen My network places or windows explorer I can browse
the network drives normally.
Could anyone help me to fix this annoying problem, Why I
can not browse the network drives the first I try to
open them

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> pagefile.sysI got an error on my 'puter today that said
my "pagefile.sys" was wrong and i need to go into
settings and change it. This was after scandisk chewed on
it for a while. I went in and looked at it, but the
setting was set higher than it said was required, so I
didn't change it. I had just installed "Pinnacle Studio
8", which is a DVD authoring program. I decided to go
into Norton and schedule a scandisk, and set it to
repair, then rebooted. I had only about 15Gig of stuff on
my 80 gig HD, but it said it had to "trunicate" the files
because it didn't have enough room to fix them. It
allowed XP to come up normally, but now my 80gig is
completely full! I used Norton to look at files on "C."
and I can see I have about 20-25 files. each over 500
meg, called something like "00084645.bmp" stored in
folder "c:\recycled\nprotect\", but when i go into
Windows Explorer, they folders aren't visible so I can
delete them.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Setup >> Problems with Office XP and VisualStudio.Netam running Office XP and VisualStudio.Net on a Windows
XP Pro System. All licenses were purchased through the
College I attend in the evening, and as far as I know are
full functionality.
I believe after I installed SP1 for XP, I started having a
problem with Office and .NET. Whenever I try to start
either program, I get a small window that says it's
performing an installation. I can either allow
the "install" to run it's course and use the programs, or
press the cancel button, but the window comes back
whenever I try to Save, cut, paste, or just about any
other action.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

When you ask a question this way, you leave yourself open for sarcastic
responses.
We have no idea of the source of the question. Do you mean can you install
XP Pro over XP Home Edition, answer, yes. Do you simply mean can you
install XP Professional on your computer....no way of knowing without
knowing anything about your computer.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> 21 XP critical updates.Hi all,
I recently had major problems with my PC & had to format & return to factory settings. My main concern was security, so I set up my firewall & antivirus. Without surfing the net, I then searched for critical updates & found 21, I decided to download the lot in one go, but when I click on add/remove programs, only about 14 appear?
I have checked on the Windows update site, & all appear there on installation history, can anyone tell me if the lot have installed, or whether more should appear in add/remove?
I have re checked for updates, but no critical updates are appearing, so I don`t know if this will help.
Many thanks for any replies.
Ian.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Machine shutdowns over and over againHello,
I see there is a lovely virus going around again, but what does it do to
your machine?
I'm worried that my second machine has it. When I load it up, everything
seems fine, but after I've typed in my login password and got into Windows
it automatically starts to shutdown (like I have selected it from the Start
Menu). I thought it might be the power button being stuck but then it would
shutdown on the login screen. And it's not because the machine is over
heating as the temperature in the BIOS is fine and there is no alarm going
off (which I've set up).
Any ideas why it's doing this?

- Windows XP Support >> Computer restarts after being turned offProblem....
a customers pc reboots all on it's own after shutting down.
After turning the pc of in the usual way from windows, the pc shuts down and
then restarts right away.
Even if the power button is held in then it keeps on restarting over and
over again.
Nothing set in bios to auto restart it if power goes down.
No settings to wake on Lan.
It's as though the power button is switching on it's own.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> funny problem with titles and creditsHi:
It's several months ago since I don't use WMM, but it used to work properly.
Now when I try to add a title, it just does nothing - when I click to the
ready link it does nothing and when I click to the change animation link an
empty list of effects is displayed. Same with credits: the link doesn't
work. You can see the screenshots at:
http://geocities.com/neutron3210/wmmerror.jpg
My system is win xp home, sp2
Any idea? (especially the empty list maybe a hint).-
I already tried reinstalling WMM, the full sp2, and re-registering all wmm
files, but didn't work.
Thanks.

- Windows XP >> Desktop.ini opens on startupAll of a sudden Windows XP Pro has begun to open Desktop.ini in Notepad at

screen. Everything else seems to be working normally. The contents of the
file are a single line:
[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@shell32.dll,-21774
I know of no recent changes to the system. I have XP Pro SP1 with all
critical updates. This is a Toshiba laptop with 512 MB RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Network >> File sharing problemsI'm running a small wireless home network and I'm having a few problems.
Both computers are fully updated, running XP home sp2, all the firewalls are
configuered correctly my intenet connection is fine and the shared printer
operates fine. My problem lies in file sharing. I can access files from my
laptop that are stored on my desktop, but not very quickly. The other way
round it hardly works at all, if ever.
I think the problem may lie with egistery entries? I think the problem
started when I had to re-setup the network.
Any help really appreciated

- Windows XP >> Managed DirectxJust bought a new Toshiba P25-S487 laptop with 17"
screen. It has XP home pre-installed. I was able to
install all the XP Updates except for one which downloads
but refuses to install. It is "Managed Directx". Tried
installing it several times but installation fails.
Microsoft will not give me free support because XP was
pre-installed by Toshiba (OEM) and referred me back to
Toshiba. NO HOPE OVER THERE! I am sure someone has a
solution.
Thank You

- Windows XP Network >> cleaning up my network placesI have a 5 windows xp home and professional computers that have multiple
entries that show up when I look at my network places. I know from what I
have read in the web and in this news group that the information displayed in
my network places comes from the master browser. I have also used browstat
to see the status of my network and everything is okay.
I just want to know how to remove the enteries that are not working any
more. I have disconnected the shared network connections on the windows xp
computers that are not available anymore, but I would like to know if I can
just delete the enteries from the master browser in my network places if they
are not working any more or if it is even possible to remove the enteries
from the my network places (and be able to control what is seen here). I
have 77 shared folders, some of which don't exist as some computers have been
re-named and what not and thus incorrect entries exist. Thus what is the
best way to clean up this mess and keep it from coming back?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Can't Import .AVi from Digital CamcorderI own a samsung handicam. When I try to import my videos off of this into

the file _______ cannot be imported because the codec required to play the
file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download
and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to

I have looked online and it appears that this codec is codec 45. I have

I have also tried to play this in Windows Media Player and have only gotten
the audio from my video files to play.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
