- Windows XP Security >> Windows security screen screenshotWe're trying to make a handout to give to users to allow
them to change the local admin password and need a
screenshot of the "Windows Security" dialog box that comes
up when you press ctrl alt del. We are unable to do a
print screen and were wondering if anyone has a screenshot
of the box or a way for us to do it.

- Windows XP Network >> Security question,PLEASE!Hello world!
I heard that someone using sniffing can access packets of information on a
shared cable medium.
So does it mean that if someone technically inclined and lives nearby can
access all the info I get and send using cable modem to and from the
Internet?

- Windows XP >> Networked printer suddenly sticks in queueSETUP:
I have a network with a desktop connected to the router, and two
laptops that connect wirelessly. All systems are running Windows XP Pro,
and are all set to the same workgroup. The desktop has a Lexmark Z45
printer attached via USB, and the printer is shared.
PROBLEM:
Everyone was able to print to the shared printer, but recently, the
laptops can send a print job, but it just sticks in the queue. The
desktop can still print, after you wait for the queue to clear out, of
course.
HAVE TRIED:
I have uninstalled the printer from all three computers, downloaded new
drivers (just fresh ones, there weren't updates), and set it up from
scratch again. Everyone sees and connects to the printer with no issues
and the desktop can print....but the laptops' jobs still get stuck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Network >> 3 WinXP Home Computers Can't Share FilesI have tried everything I can think of to get 3 WinXP Home Edition computers
to see each other to share files. They can ping each other, they can access
the router (a simple D-Link) and all can access the Internet. I have
confirmed they are all in the same workgroup and I have checked NetBIOS and
Computer Browser service is running. I setup networks all the time
(fortunately not XP Home!!!) and am stuck. No firewalls are running, no
Internet Security software and nothing in the router is setup other than
DHCP.
If you browse the network on any of the computers, they only see their
computer and no others are shown. I can not map a drive even using UNC to
map the path. I have virus scan and spyware checks and everything is clean.
Any thoughts???? Thanks!!!

- Windows XP Update >> xp shutting down and rebooting after last software updateI have a desktop computer with Windows XP Home Edition (Ver. 2002)
Service
Pack 2
It has a Pent 4 Cpu 1.8GHz 512mb of RAM
I do updates regularly and have Norton AntiVirus 2005 on it as well as
various spyware guards. These too are updated and run regularly. I last ran
the Windows Update on Dec. 14th, 05. It took 3 updates, KB890830, KB905915
and KB910437. I shut the computer down for the night and the next day when my
daughter booted it upit started to shut down and reboot on its own. As it
turns out, it accepted 2 of the updates but not KB890830.
I can turn the computer on cold and it will cycle through to the Windows
page and then I get a blue screen with words real fast and then it just shuts
down and restarts and comes to the screen where it asks if I want to start in
safe mode. I can start in safe mode. I can start in safe mode with
networking. There is no specific time they stay on before they shut down.
Sometimes it reboots again. Sometimes the screen gets frozen in 'Windows xp'
other times it is in the scrolling safe mode words for a long time before it
starts up. I have tried to do a System restore in safe mode as well as when
it has booted to the regular screen. When it has been able to run all the
way through I get a message that says it cannot restore to that date, pick
another date.
If anyone can help me with this or has any idea of what route i should take,
short of reformatting, please let me know.
Thank You,
V.E.P.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Windowsxp boot image faded on boot, gets stuck, have to push reset to boot againOdd behavior from my computer. Push button to start computer, goes through
the process until it gets to the "Windowsxp" screen with the multicolored
letters and the little bouncing back and forth blue progress thing and the
monitor is faded with this image and then it gets stuck there. I have to
push reset and then it boots up but stops at the screen where it ask you to
boot safe, normally etc and gives 30 seconds to decide. Any ideas? Don't
think it is the monitor, maybe the video card or motherboard.

You can look up that Stop Error here:
http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
Usually those 0x0000007e errors come from faulty drivers or failing
hardware. If you've updated your drivers recently, roll them back. If
you've made no changes, do hardware troubleshooting.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot
Standard caveat: Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out
suspected parts with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing
yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the
machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local
equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Have all your data backed up
before you take the machine into a shop.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Changing HDI'd welcome some advice please. I have two identical HDs at present on
my AMD Athlon XP1800, 512MB, both 60GB 7200rpm MAXTOR 6L060J3 UDMA-133
EIDE with 2MB buffer. Although it's been so long that I've forgotten
exactly how I did it, they are partitioned as follows:
HD #1
-----
C: Win XP system 15 GB
D: Data etc 45 GB
HD #2
-----
E: Old copy of Win XP 15 GB
F: Data backup etc 45 GB
I want to replace HD 2 with a 200 GB drive, as I'm running out of
space. I'd then use the new F: partition for all my extra data, as
well as backup. Not sure if I'd make a new 'recovery' copy of Win XP
on the new E: partition; it quickly gets so old that its usefulness in
the event of C: failing is arguable. And (touches wood), in 3 years so
far I've never had to use it in earnest.
So, my question: If just physically remove and replace HD #2, using
whatever jumper settings I find on the old one, and reboot, will
everything come up OK? No surprises, no new partition letters to throw
me, no daunting error messages, etc?
Any practical advice would be much appreciated please.

- Windows XP >> Windows keeps recognizing new hardware (printers)Every time I reboot or XP decides to reboot I it keeps re-
discovering the same hardware that has been installed and
is operating perfectly.
I've even tried deleting the hardware and re-installing
it to no avail.
It sounds trivial but having to hit the hardware wizards
cancel button to get by it is frustrating to say the
least. The hardware is an Epson C80 Printer and an HP 610
Officejet printer.
Any hints on how to stop this?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Hardware or OS?Hi folks
I get an error whenever I start up my Laptop. The unusal
thing is that the POST is fine but I don't get
the "Loading Windows" progress bar down bottom, and I
don't get the F8 advanced options as well. I hunted high
and low on the knowledge base the closest I could find
related to Windows 2000 and not XP.
My Laptop specs are
Acer 534LC travelmate
40Gig HDD, CDRW/DVD combo, 256Mb DDR PC2100 RAM,
Pentium 4 M - 2.2Ghz CPU, 4 in 1 memory card reader.

- Windows XP Setup >> WindowsXP nt backupI would like to back up selected files AUTOMATICALLY from
my C: drive to a second hard drive installed for this
specific purpose utilizing MicrosoftXP's "nt backup," but
am experiencing difficulty with the setup.
The two internal hard drives and my one external hard
drive are not recognized by nt backup as backup devices
and I am not given the "File" option, ala "BackUp My PC."
My reading of what documentation I have found and these
forums suggest I can indeed do this, so would somebody
explain to me "how"?
Referencing any and all Microsoft KB's [for that matter,
ANY reference material] as well as guidance from somebody
who has actually done it would be most appreciated.
Thank-you.
Ron
P.S. I apologize for posting to multiple forums, but the
subject is referenced at no less than seven [7] sites...
