- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> help.....help.....helpBecause of a problem I am having I need to access my
WindowsXP CD. The portion of the CD that I need to
access is the recovery mode. Before I can move forward
it asks me for my Administrator password which I type in
and it keeps telling me that the passwod is not valid.
This is the same password I use on the sign on screen
with no problem. Can you please be of some assistance in
the resolution of this issue so that I can access the
CD? Thanks in advance for your help.

- Windows XP Security >> Change Century Interpretation - XP home - Access 2000By default, all 2-digit year entries less than 30 (or about that) are
converted to 20th century (eg "30" --> "1930", ""25" --> "2025")
Would like to make cutoff around 1970-2069.
After much research, still unable to find method for changing this
characteristic.
Docs suggest using "group policy" which I have been unable to locate on my
system, which is, BTW, personal & standalone and I am only user and
administrator.
This may be an Office issue rather than an XP issue. If so, I apologize.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> Upgrade from XP home edition to XP ProfessionalI have just recently bought an acer 3000l that has XP home edition, with
bluetooth, IR Port etc. However, I need to be on our work network. because of
the home edition, I am unable to see the server and share files with my work
colleagues. As a result, a friend told me that i could upgrade to XP
professional in order to be able to use my office network properly. could you
therefore advice me on how I can obtain patches for this upgrade that will
enable me to get the full functionality of networking?

- Windows XP Security >> can't delete registry entriesI'm trying to clean up after a virus infection on an XP Pro SP2 machine. I
have a list of all the registry entries added by the virus, and want to
manually delete them. I can find them easily enough, but when I try to
delete them I get an 'unable to delete all occurrences' message (or words
very similar!).
I'm not very experienced in editing the registry - I usually use a util to
keep it tuned - and I know how dangerous it can be. But although I've
removed the virus exe from the machine, and prevented firewall_anti from
loading or running, I still have all these registry entries that I'd like to
get rid of. What's the right way to do it please? I'm right-clicking the
reg entry concerned and choosing delete. Edit/Delete gives me the same
message. As I say, I have what seems like an accurate list of the reg
entries made by the virus (from Sophos).
Any pointers greatly appreciated, thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Backup hangs on "looking for backup devices"I've successfully backed up my Pc, (to a file on the desktop) once
before. However now when I start backup it hangs on the
monlogue box "looking for backup devices" and goes no further.
I'm running XPHome and installed the backup from one ot the
sites noted in a previous post. As I said..it has worked, just not
now.
Any idea why this is happening and what needs be done to fix it?

- Windows XP Update >> W2k3 Standard SP1 Install Problems!I hope someone would be able to help me out here. I searched all over the net
for a solution and I just can't find a solution. Here is the problem: Windows
2003 Standard Server. I am trying to install SP1 on it. I downloaded fresh
copy twice. Each install fails. It goes though all the steps (backing up,
installing) then it's trying to start up services and install window just
goes away and then SP1 uninstalls itself. Once it uninstalled itself, it
tells me that
-------------------------------------------------------
Service Pack 1 installation did not complete.
Windows Server 2003 has been partially updated and may not work properly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once rebooted, everything is working. Below is the log from SP install.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HELP! :( I spend about 14 hours total trying to fix this. I really need to
get my server updated but it's just frustrating. Microsoft doesn't provide
fix for this on their site and every fix that I found (which was not many)
doesn't help me out.
Also, I am logged in as administrator, and the server is stand alone server.
PS: I need to break up the log file because it';s too long.

- Windows XP Network >> XP ICS problem opening most pages in internet explorerI have a small network of 3 computers all running XP(2 pro, one home). We
connect using ADSL which does not use PPoE. We just recently got issued a
public IP from our ISP, so I changed our network configuration to use one of
our windows XP Pro computers (all are Dell Demensions) to work as an internet
connection sharing host. The basic setup is DSL modem --> Host Computer -->
Switch --> Other computers. On the host computer, the internet connection
works perfectly -- and it also works fine on the computer running XP Home.
However, on the other XP pro computer everything should be working fine. I'm
networked on the lan, have all access to shared files and printers, obviously
recieve an IP -- can ping to any server on the internet through the command
prompt -- Outlook works fine for email access. However Internet Explorer
will not open any but a small handful of pages. Google opens, as does the
MSN home page. However no other sites that I have tried open -- they simply
stall out on the web site found, waiting for reply message on the status bar
until after a few minutes brings up 'the page can not be displayed.' I've
tried manually setting the lan card speed/duplex mode, looked for new
drivers, and in desperation reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled
windows from scratch (we've had the computer for less than 3 weeks, so it
wasn't as drastic as it could be), yet the problem remains. I tried dell
tech support, but because of the 'advanced technical' nature of the problem
it does not fall under the warranty coverage and they wanted to charge me
$150 dollars for one-time telephone support. Please if anyone has any other
possible ideas, let me know as i've pretty well exhausted my knowledge -- I
have a great deal of computer background, but networking is one of my weakest
areas. Sorry for the eye-strain, I just wanted to be comprehensive. THANKS!!

Windows XP Support >> Windows XP Print Queue Retains and Reprints Jobs
This week I installed Windows XP SP2. Printing is through an HP JetDirect
175X server
on the ethernet to an HP 3330 printer. Using Windows 98 everything worked
fine.
Now, printing is okay, but when printing is completed the job remains in the
print queue.
Then, if the computer is shut down and started, or restarted, all of the
jobs that were
done print again.
I am presently solving the problem by remembering (!) to manually delete all
of the print
jobs at the end of the day. But I suspect there is some configuration
option which I
cannot find which will take care of this. Anyone know what it is?
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Microsoft evaluation software will not install on XP SP2I have successfully downloaded, on separate occasions (more than one
month apart), both Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Beta, as well as
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Trial.
Once downloaded, in both subsequent attempts to install either of
these, an "Installation Progress" window is displayed on my desktop
(containing a progress bar a little below the centerline of its
window).
But the progress bar never infills with progress. (During the entire
time of this absence of progress activity, my hard drive light never
blinks either.)
I can leave this "Installation Progress" window up for hours and
nothing infills into the bar.
It's happened with both of these downloads--2 of 2. To this day,
neither of these have been installed as a result.
If I get tired of seeing no installation activity after an
interminable amount of time, and then click on the [X] in the upper
right corner of the window, the "Installation Progress" window
responds with, "Are you sure you want to cancel setup?"
If I press <Yes>, the window never disappears.
What's going on here?
Thank you for any assistance.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Reading Floppies in XPI work in computer support at a college. I recently loaded
XP on all the Lab machines. Many students are now coming
into the office with their floppy disks, saying that they
can't access the info on their disks, they get the message
that the disk is not formatted. We'll try it on different
machines and on my machine - all of which are XP - same
thing on all of them. I never saw this problem when all
the machines had '98. I have a feeling this has something
to do with XP, but can find no reference to the issue on
Microsoft Support. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
