- Windows XP Setup >> Adding audio cardA year or so ago I put an audio card on my son's computer, that had the
audio and video on the motherboard when we bought it. I had a
relatively major crash that was related to corrupted files in the boot
record, and I had to do a full recovery, reformatting the disk. I can't
find the driver disks for the audio card, but found some on the internet
and installed them. I recall when I first installed the audio card I
had to disable the built in audio to make it work, but I can't recall
how it was done. Any suggestions?

- Windows XP >> Boot DiskI need to go to DOS (not the DOS in Windows) to update my
BIOS and Award Flash Utilities. For this I need a floppy
start-up boot disk from WIN XP Home. How do I make a
WINxp start-up disk? Do I need to insert the CD for WIN
XP?

- Windows XP >> "No Network Places"We have several Win XP Pro machines on a small office
network. On a few of them (and the list seems to change
from time to time), if you browse to My Network Places in
Windows Explorer then nothing shows up at all. No
shortcuts, no folders, no "Entire Network" icon, nothing.
Refreshes do no good.
The network is out there; file and printer sharing work
fine to and from the afflicted workstations. You simply
can't browse to anywhere through My Network Places.
On some of the other XP Pro systems, network shortcuts
show up, but you have to hit Refresh once to get "Entire
Network" to appear. After that single Refresh, browsing
the network works normally.
Sound familiar to anyone?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Serial ATA drivers for windows XP pre SP1Hey,
I just built a new system with an asus A8V-deluxe, AMD 64 bit processor,
Sony ATA DVD/CD/RW, and a serial ATA maxtor 250 gig harddrive. The harddrive
serial ATA controller is part of the chipset on my motherboard.
The hardware is all working just fine. But I need to install windows XP
professional to my new hard drive (it is formatted, partitioned), and my
CD-ROM is pre-SP1. My version of XP apparently doesn't support serial ATA,
so when I boot to the XP CD-ROM and it tries to install, it doesn't recognize
any hard drives and aborts.
You know how during the install you can hit F6 and provide outside
manufacturers drivers for other hardware. I tried that, but don't actually
have the SATA drivers in a format the windows installer will recognize. I'm
currently waiting for ASUS to get back to me in the hopes they can help.
Has anyone encountered this (or a similar) problem? Anyone know where I can
get the required drivers?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Security >> Problems with MS security patch MS07-046Hi all,
regarding the recent security patch
MS07-046 "Vulnerability in GDI could allow remote code execution"
I have found that certain applications compiled on Windows XP
Professional with this security patch will crash on different-language
machines (EN versus GER), regardless whether the patch is installed or
not.
I was able to verify this with Visual Studio 6.0 SP6, for an
application witch directly calls GDI functions of the windows API.
Microsoft support will not handle that matter, since VS 6.0 is no
longer supported. Still, I am pretty sure that not the programming
language, but the direct calls to the GDI library cause the problem.
Has anyone of you observed similar problems in programs written in VS
2003 or 2005? I don't expect them to show up if you use the built-in
GDI/GDI+ calls, only if you directly access the windows API (which
probably only legacy code will do).
We've tested it by compiling on an English Windows XP, and testing on
german XP, and vice versa. Don't know about other languages, but I
expect the problem to be similar.

Windows XP Support >> Show favorites as multiple columns - Start/Favorites
When viewing "favorites" , you get a long list that scrolls off the bottom or
top of screen (if you have lots of favorites... i do). I would like not to
have to scroll but rather show favorites as multiple columns (like in
Netscape browser).

In the future, please cross-post instead of multi-posting.
Makes it easier on those who read many different newsgroups and easier on
you when you come back looking for an answer.
The better way (IMHO) is actually just to pick ONE newsgroup and post there
and wait for an answer - but more and more people feel it necessary to post
in many these days.
As for your question:
Don't think you can.
You should likely make sub-folders.. throw a little organization into the
mix. That way you can make your own "columns".

Hi Samshun,
I haven't tried this so I don't know if it works but...
Right-click on the taskbar and select "Properties"...
Click the "Start Menu" tab at the top of the panel...
Click the "Customise" button...
Click the "Advanced" tab at the top of the panel...
Scroll the list down to "Scroll Programs" and un-check it...
Confirm by clicking "OK" on the open panels.
Hope that helps

To stop the scrolling of the menu, use Internet Options> Advanced> Settings
and remove check box from "enable Personalized Favorites Menu."
Like Shannon, I would recommend using subfolders to manage a very long list
of favorites.

- Windows XP Network >> Network works, but can't "see" routerXP Pro
Though my network works fine, my desktop can't see my netgear router
(RP614).
I have a simple network: I have DSL service. My desktop, notebook, and
printer server are connected by wire to my Netgear router.
Everything works fine. Both computers get on the Internet, and both
computers can print. (And I can scan to both comptuers.
I can log on to my router from my notebook, but I can't log on from my
desktop. ("Page cannot be displayed")
I can't ping the router from my desktop either.
Although I'm not really affected by this, as I can do all I want from the
desktop, it bothers me.
I spent a lot of time with Netgear on the phone, and they say its an
operating system problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> Remote Desktop/ Cannot ConnectHI, I am trying to setup RDT on a computer using XP Pro and connected via a
router. Using help I have enabled my computer to use the service but when I
try to connect to mine using a friends computer via either the web or the RDT
dialog box I cannot connect.
The friends computer also uses XP Pro and a router.
My IP is 86.139.91.xx
His IP is 82.18.68.xx
Both our sub masks are 255.255.255.0
I have tried pinging but that times out. I feel that if we can ping each
other RDT "might" work.
I hope someone can help as I have been on this for hours.
Thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> Sound help!Just recently my sound has stopped working. I will play a
sound in any program and it just sounds a little fuzzy as
if nothing is playing. I have checked in the advanced
section and all of my mute boxes are unchecked. I have
tried a bunch of other little things but nothing seems to
work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> Windows XP won't start. HELPWhen I turn on my computer Windows won't start. I get the Microsoft XP logo
at the beginning and then it goes to the blue screen with a small Windows XP
logo in the middle and then it stays like tat forever. I don't get any error
messages or anything that can tell me what's wrong.
I tried restarting my computer in Safe Mode but it does the same thing. I
also tried the different options in F8, all unsuccessful. It just gets stuck
on that screen.
Can someone tell me how I can fix this without having to use the recovery
disk? I don't want to loose any files. They are very important to me.
Thank you

- Windows XP >> svchost questionAbout 2 weeks ago many of our Clients starting experiencing computer
slowdowns, lockups, Outlook freezing etc. When I look at the process
running on these problematic computers, svchost is always taking up at least
100MB of memory... The services it is controlling are
AudioSrv, BITS, CryptSvc, Dhcp, dmserver,
EventSystem, helpsvc, HidServ, lanmanserve
lanmanworkstation, Netman, Nla, RasMan,
Schedule, seclogon, SENS, ShellHWDetection
TapiSrv, Themes, TrkWks, W32Time, winmgmt,
wuauserv
The only thing new in our environment is WSUS and configuring a few users to
the newly revived Microsoft Update ...
Has anyone seen any issues surrounding these services that might explain
what is happening in our environments... this is an issue that is being seen
in numerous locations and more than one domain...
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Security >> RE: System 32 "Shared Task Scheduler": know this task object or other?McAfee System Guard Protection asked me if I wanted to accept:
User_Feed_Synchronization-{30E3CCD7-52BB-4824-88BD-BB5076DAAD79}.job
which is apparently a "task object" (I think?) under C:WINDOWS\Tasks\ and
having to do with the process System 32\svchost.exe version 5.1.2600.2180,
"Shared Task Scheduler".
(1)What is this? I said no I don't accept, because I didn't do anything new,
didn't know what new task was needed, but is it needed? (2) Then I was
surprised the McAfee report/log noted my nonacceptance as a system guard
-change in future behavior... Can anyone clear this up? Thank you.

- Windows XP Setup >> CREATING NEW PARTITIONI understand that I cannot create a new partition with Windows XP without
destroying what I already have in place or without purchasing 3rd party
software. This is my scenario ... My system came with everything
preinstalled, one hd, and one basic/primary partition for everything. I'm
wanting to create a new partition (logical drive) to maintain system and file
backups. I have another operating system that will automatically and safely
- non-destructively - create a partition within my current configuration to
install itself on (Linux). Hypothetical situation ... do you think that I
could feasibly install that product without autoboot sequence in order to
create the new partition; uninstall it, leaving the partition in place; then
reformat that new partition with XP through the Computer Manager tools in
order to create my desired logical drive/partition? Any advice or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- customize >> slipstreaming xp corporate files inquiryIs there a list kept somewhere that indicates what files are compatible with
svcpack.inf?
I slipstreamed all "critical" updates and hotfixes current as of today, but
I also combined the "recommended" updates as well.
Windows Media Player 9 doesn't seem too friendly as an error during XP
installation pops up saying system restore won't work if the "original"
windows media player (assuming its 8) isn't installed first, and that WMP9
should be installed separately.
Another error popped up defining the uses of switches which I was already
using: ie)
[SetupHotfixesToRun]
update.exe -q -n
Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N
Q819696.exe /Q /O /N /Z
/Q - Quiet mode
/Q:A - Administrator Quiet mode, which does not display any dialog boxes to
the user
/R:A - Always restart
/R:N - Never restart
/R:S - Silent restart
Since I know what these switches mean already, then I need to know what
updates will work and which ones won't.
Having a list of which updates are and are not compatible would sure be nice
for my WinXP Pro SP1 package.
