- Windows XP Support >> getting rid of something at startupI'm using Windows XP Home edition.
Recently, I was going to download a program from the web, but I changed my
mind. I said cancel before it was finished downloading.
Now, however, every time I boot-up my computer a window pops up asking me if
I wanted to continue downloading (or running) the same program. I went into
the Run menu and said "msconfig". Under the Startup tab I can see an entry
with the program's name.
I tried to remove that item by un-checking it. But the computer does not
like that because when I re-boot it goes into the
selective startup or diagnostic startup mode and asks me to undo the change
I made.
How do I get rid of that window popping up every time I boot-up. I think
there is also an entry in my registry. Do I need to go to
my autoexec.bat file and make changes there? How do I do that?
Thanks,
Please let me know if you need further information about my situation.

functionality from this disc will be disabled." And i am
unable to install windows 2000. Can anyone please tell
me how to install windows 2000 on an xp machine? Thanks,

- Windows XP >> USB mousei have a microsoft standard wireless optical mouse usb 1000
it is connected to the usb port as my ps2 does not seem to be working. i
will check my bios to see if this can be corrected.
everytime i start my computer, the mouse does not work. i have to
disconnect and reconnect it to get xp to recognize new hardware.
i have installed the new drivers for it, but it still does this..
it is annoying and i want to solve it.
it does not happen if i use a wired mouse.

- Windows XP >> IE Linking ProblemI'm a novice on XP Pro. My disc was getting full so
cleanup came up, and though I don't think I modified IE,
whenever I click on a link, it won't forward me to that
web page, and at some point I got a message that I'd lost
that sub-program that lets me link. There's probably a
page somewhere that shows me how to restore it, but I
don't know what to ask for. Anyone know how I restore this
function?

- Windows XP >> Cannot loginMy daughter's XP was running good no need to login (although it has a user
account called Alan, because that's my old computer), but the PC is
automatically login.
She started to play MSN chat on Sunday and Monday (3 to 4 days ago),
suddenly when she turned on the PC, the login screen popped up and asking
password. The user name is me, ie Alan.
I tried to use many my old password but no luck, I am sure I had tried all
my possible password.
Any idea why the login screen suddenly pops up?

- Windows XP >> soundblaster digital 4.1I have the soundblaster digital 4.1 and it still works well so i don't see
why i should change it. However, i cannot install the driver software from
the original disk nor can i install the update driver from the creative site.
In fact, it crashes when i try to install it. I would prefer to install this
driver rather than the one fournished by windows. Can anyone help?

- Windows XP >> Re-UseHi All,
We have just started on a big rollout which involves a few thousand macines.
The old servers are 2000 with win2000 clients. Then new infrastructure is
2003 and XP.
Within the last few days a new directive has reached us where we need to
re-use as much old equipment as possible in order to achive cost savings.
Basically, the Legacy equipment need to meet a certain criteria before they
are allowed on the new system, they need to be under 2 year old, most of the
legacy kit to be retained are either printers, scanners, plotters and, in
some cases erganomic keyboard and mice.
What i would like to know is given the current build which has restrictions
etc, is there a way of finding out if the old legacy kit could be introduced
to the new infrastructure without installing any drivers?
Any information on the above would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

- Windows XP Update >> Automatic update downloading right after startupHello
I am having a problem with Automatic update after upgrading windows update to v.5 and XP to XP SP2 RC2. It appears to be downloading and executing something at startup. After all of the startup items are loaded, a session of svchost is executed that takes almost 50% of CPU usage. Then update.exe starts, taking as much/more CPU usage. I have tried to find out what has been installed, but I haven't found anything yet. I have ran anti-virus on the system and haven't found anything. Any help would be appreciated

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Color saturation after saving the movieJust installed new XP. Have Radeon 128MB video card, Pentium 4 , etc.
I downloaded short clips from a Canon Ixus 300 directly through the
multimedia slot . The clips play fine before Movie Maker touches them. Once
they are saved with MM (either unedited or stitched together), the playback
is color saturated to the point of looking like a color negative.
I have not tried downloading from camcorder yet so don't know if it's a
source problem or not.
Can't find any way to fix this by fiddling the usual bits.

- Windows XP >> trouble deletingalright, now my problem sounds simple, but the only thing
simple about it is how flabbergasted i am. I have several
media files, one's a rar, others are assorted media
formats, mp3, etc. Now these files, for some reason, I
cant delete them. I have auto delete, so it doesnt send
anything to the rec bin, so i click delete on file.rar
and it claims it's being used by another program even
though it's not. i even rebooted, and i got the same
message. i even tried to slamm it in the rec bin to no
avail. how do i get rid of these files without
reformatting? please help ^^

- Windows XP Network >> "net use K: \\192.168.0.40\D$" is working - "net use K: \\comp7\D$" is NOT working ????I have an inhouse LAN with three computers.
one of the computers has the name "comp7" with (fixed) IP 192.168.0.40.
When I map now the remote shared partition D with name D$ to my local drive K:
with either the command
net use K: \\192.168.0.40\D$
it works and with the command
net use K: \\comp7\D$
it doesn't work.
Why ?
Not putting it e.g. into the "hosts" file cannot be the reason because
other shared folders on other computer (which are not in the "hosts" file)
can be accessed WITH the hostname succesfully.
I could imagine that this is a firewall problem.
Which ports are used to perform hostname resolving in the LAN ?
Moreover curious is that I cannot perform a
net view \\192.168.0.40
It yields a
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
However access must be available because sharing is possible through
fixed IP.

(3pm to 7pm) we have users that get the error

This is mostly on the Compaq Evo D500 running Windows XP

loss. I have tried to do a "netstat -p tcp -a", but when
the system gets the error, the system is locked up. Even

This only references Lotus Notes (Which is our Email

Windows 2000 doesn't seem to have the problem.

- Windows XP Setup >> Outlook Express "ask before opening" attachments goneI installed Windows XP Pro on my PC last week. I've been
using Outlook Express for E-mail and as a news reader.
I got annoyed by OE6 always asking me if I wanted to Open or
Save file attachments such as JPG pictures so I unchecked the
"Always ask before opening files of this type" box.
Now, I've changed my mind and want the option to Open or Save
back again but I cannot find a setting in OE6 Options that
will turn on the "Always ask before opening files of this
type" again.
Please advise how I can do this. Thank you.

- Windows XP Setup >> Upgrade help please....Hi, I've attempted to install XP home on my mothers PC but have come across
a couple of glitches. The PC has a Cyrix 6x86MX Processor, 233MHz & 96 MB of
ram with a Socket 7 motherboard. Not Much I know but with a 8gig HD it did
install XP. PC had previously ran Win98 since 1999. At first all seemed ok
except no sound or modem.
In System/Hardware/Device Manager I get the following:
-CMI8330/C3D Audio Adapter (Code28)
Drivers not installed
(I get the above x4)
-Motorola SM56 Speakerphone Modem (Code 10)
Drivers cannot start
All the original driver discs are for Win95/98/NT. One of which is the
Systemboard disc containing PC CHillin 98. I recently upgraded my PC's
motherboard and was supplied with same disc however the 2002 edition.
Not looking for the computer to do wonders as Mum will only use it to surf
web and print out pics. Any advice would be welcome.
Regards,
Rod
