- Windows XP Hardware >> printing on a remote driver on a remote computer?hello, I am in a mixup. Normaly when you print on a remote computer that is
attached to your computer you need to install the driver on your own
computer too.
For instance I have a windows xp computer copnnected via usb to my 1220 c
inkjet printer. Normally I would install a win98 driver on the w98 machines
so I
can print via that driver on the winxp machine. But I need a way to send the
print job to a driver that is installed only on the win XP machine!.
Why? Because the version of the driver for the win98 machines have a bug,
but the driver on the win XP machine workes perfectly!
I have heard about PRINTER SERVER.... how do these work? And HP says
something about print via the interent to a remote printer, anyone know
that?
Thanks in advance!

For the ones reading technical replies, I would them (if they are kind
enough) to give
me their feedback with another post (in the same thread of course), so I
will know if my advice helped them or not.

- Windows XP >> Changing Printing Fonts in Outlook Express 6 on XP HomeWhen I print either incoming and outgoing emails from
Outlook Express with XP Home edition the font size of the
message body is very large 16 or 18. I am not sure how
long this has been happening but I just started using the
PC and can not find any way to reduce the Font size for
printing. The header size is a smaller size but the msg
body is quite large.

Windows XP Update >> All windows updates fail to download and install
I'm working on a Toshiba Laptop for a client and see that starting September
14th all automatic updates fail with the exception of Office and Windows
Defender. I have tried to install updates manually and they fail. It will
download the new IE7, but when it starts the installation it fails also. I
have removed Norton Internet Security from the system with same results. I
have removed Windows Defender, also with same results. I have reset all of
the connection, security, and privacy settings in IE and still all Windows
updates fail. I have run tools to check errors on the registry as well as
scanned and removed any spyware and still updates fail. Any suggestions?
Office updates and Windows defender updates with download and install, just
not any Windows OS updates. The system is running Win XP Home SP2. I cant
seem to find what changed in September that is causing this issue.

Windows XP Update >> All windows updates fail to download and install
There are many reasons why updates fail - perhaps have a look at this article -
You Cannot Install Some Updates or Programs
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
You cannot install some updates or programs
When you examine the %systemroot%\Windowsupdate.log file, you may see an entry for
one of the following errors:
. 0x80096001
. 0x80096005
. 0x80096010
. 0x800B0001

How to troubleshoot Windows Update, Microsoft Update, and Windows Server Update
Services installation issues
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906602
Some problems have been cleared by
Renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder
Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.
Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder: a. Click Start, click Run, type
%systemroot%, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.
Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.
Note - the WU history will be lost but not important.

- Windows XP Support >> WinXP won't bootI have seen this coming for a couple of day's. The system would freeze on
boot but when I hit the reset button it would go to full boot.
This has happened six or seven times.
Now it won't boot period and I get the "boot failure, insert system disk".
I insert the startup disk that I made a couple of years ago but when I use
the command such as FDISK /MBR or any other commands it won't excecute them.
Do I have to do a format and reinstall the system?
Appreciate any help.

- Windows XP >> I need to uninstall and reinstall XPI got a new hard drive and used the maxtor program that
came with it to transfer everything from my old hard
drive. After doing so I opened a can of worms... hardly
anything works properly. I can't even shut down the
system from the start menu. I had similar troubles last
year and someone instructed me on wiping the hard drive
clean and starting over again I no longer have the
instructions on doing so and would like to do it again. I
tried restarting manually with the XP CD and didn't see
the options I faintly remember from last year. Can
someone please help?
Thank You, Frank

I recently purchased a five button mouse and didn't install the software that came with it (i find this quite usless). Yet, my buttons act "programmed" when clicked, in IE for example (back and forward), Explorer (same thing) etc..
WHERE is this programmed? Registry? If so - what should I do to change the functions (i.e. to change this to esc & shift)
Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD-RW issuesWith WinXP SP2 and regular updates, I have difficulty consistently accessing
both optical drives. Both willplay audio disks with Win Media Player (v10),
but will not access anything from My Computer- several different things
happen, depending on what was in the drive(s) on boot: if there was a disk in
the drive on boot, I can see the disk listed in My Computer, but when opening
the disk, i get a blank window. If the drive is empty on boot, then when
accessing the drive (contents not indicated in My Computer, I get a Disk
unavailable error.
I have had Nero 5.5 installed- everything worked well. Then installed Nero 6
and Nero 6.5 problems. Uninstalled Nero in all versions, now have problems.
Have applied registry patches as suggested in several postings, short-term
(like 1 disk) change, then as before.
Assistance appreciated.

- Windows XP >> XP PasswordsI purchased a computer several months back at a yard
sale. I just got around to trying it. All four accounts
are password protected and the hints didn't help. I
tried administrator with blank password and got the
response "Unable to log you on because of an account

drive? I didn't get any disks with the system.

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP and RAID5 drivesI have been in the process of configuring a Compaq server,
running WinXP Pro, with RAID5 drive formatting. According
to both Microsoft AND Compaq this is not possible. I
submit for everyone's benefit this article:
http://www.techzonez.com/comments.php?id=2020&catid=1
This article has screenshots of the New Drive wizard
giving several RAID related options.
I have edited the listed files, but I still get nothing.
In fact, 50% of the times I tired the files were back to
their original state on reboot.
I believe this IS possible. If anyone has accomplished
this, or can see something here from a hex editing
perspective that I missed, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
