I'm excepting to have <1ms values only.
I'm having troubles to keep connected when playing games online (such as
BF2).
Always disconnected from the server.
When I'm restarting Windows, the problem is disappeared and repeated again
after.
What are those weird values?
Is my TCP/IP stack screwed up?
Is it possible that my network driver or adapter is buggy?
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> System restore xp home doesn't workI recently disabled and reenabled system restore in order to resolve a
spyware issue( Symantec's suggestion which didn't help, although I did
solve the problem).
I have a Dell Computer with XP home, and have tried to use system
restore. Even though there are restore points, system restore won't
work and I get an error message that system restore isn't working.
I looked at the Microsoft troubleshooter, and both task scheduler and
WMI are listed in CMD netstart.
Suggestions for reenabling system restore?

- Windows XP >> Access WinXP Pro shares from older MS networkI have now been trying to get a box running XP Pro (not joined any domain)
to work in a peer-to-peer network with Win98 and LanMan DOS (network boot
disk).
I understand that MS now have made the peer-to-peer different than earlier,
but I can't really understand in what way. I have been running "Windows XP
Simple File Sharing" and disabled "ForceGuest" in the Reg.database.
So now I am able to share folders like "in the old days" with WinNT Pro and
assign ressources as I am used to.
But... it does not seem to work. When I use a bootdisk (which works up
against a Win2k server) to do a "net use" against the XP Pro, it does not
connect to the XP Pro, but returns an error instead.
If I try to connect (browse via Network Neighbourghood) to the WinXP Pro
from a Win98, it also returns an error. The XP Pro does show up in the
browse list though.
I am accessing with usernames and passwords that are created and granted on
the XP box. What more do I need to do in order to get it working as with
WinNT?
Regards, Lars.

However, I have DHCP and don't have static ip for each

and get this to work, or am I going to have to get static
ip addresses from my ISP?
Unfortuneately, my ISP doesn't hand out static ip
addresses. Any suggestions, is it free?

- Windows XP Support >> Fast User SwitchingI'm lost in trying to figure out why the Fast User Switching (FUS) box
keeps getting "unchecked". (Fast User Switching is located via Control
Panel / User Accounts / Change The Way Users Log On Or Off).
Bottom line is that I am unable to switch users without getting logged
off myself. I also tried to check the FUS box is SAFE MODE, but it
didn't save my changes.
Is it a registry problem or am I missing something. FYI - I have
already disabled Offline Files.
Tks!
P.S. Sorry if my message appears twice...I'm a new registered user and
just getting myself acquainted with this forum.

- Windows XP Hardware >> monitor brightness and your eyesDoes monitor brightness have a correlation to long-term health of one's eyes
? Is this on a person-by-person basis ? Is it as simple as adjusting to

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> MegaFLOPS and hyper-threadingI have a P4 2.8 w/HT, 1G Ram. Sony VAIO. (PassMark Performance Test)
I am a day trader and work from home. My software - MetaStock runs some
serious calculations and my computer runs it so slowly - so I have been
trying to get the most I can. I just finished formatting and starting clean.
I have run a test that shows a main score average around 330 and a MegaFLOPS
score of 220. I figured this was good but checked on friends and family's
computers and their MegaFLOPS scores were in the 500s and 600s.
Just for fun - I disabled HT in my BIOS. My main score moved up a little to
349 but my MegaFLOPS went balistic and hit 630 - about 400 points.
1) Which score is more important for normal users? ...overall or MegaFLOPS?
2) I run a ton of programs at the same time - mail, music, MetaStock,
internet,etc., should I have HT on or off ?
3) Is it normal that HT would bring down my MegaFLOPS score?
4) Can I improve this?
Thank you so much !!!!!

- Windows XP Network >> "Use simple file sharing" setting will not stay changed!Hi Everyone,
As the subject states, I am clearing the Use simple file sharing setting
(no check mark). Once I restart the PC, the check mark is back!
Also, connected with this issue, the Forceguest setting under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
changes back to it's default setting of 00000001 after a reboot (I want it
to stay at 00000000).
I require this setting off as it is affecting my Dell IT Manager, but it
will not keep it's setting!!!
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

- Windows XP Support >> Help Deleting a Corrupt FileSomewhere along the line a corrupt restore was created. I noticed this when
a Defrag failed, specifying the restore point folder as the cause. I have
narrowed it down to a file in one of the sub-folders. I can't find a way to
delete it. It always tells me the file is corrupt. I have tried :
- Turning restore on and off. All restores deleted except this corrupt
folder.
- Overwriting the offending files with an empty notepad file
- Trying to delete with explorer.exe off
- Using a data cleaning tool
I could really do without reinstalling Windows. Any help very gratefully
received
Many thanks

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Puzzled about laptop power schemes settings...Hi, All,
I am using a Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop, 3.06GHz HT, 1.25G RAM, WinXP.
I have only rarely used my laptop on battery power, and then for short
periods of time, so I have never paid attention to the Power Management
settings.
I have always had my power scheme set to "Maximum Performance" (Dell's
version of "Minimal Power Management"), with no problems.
I will be needing to use my laptop on battery power fairly frequently in the
near future, so I am trying to learn a bit about the Power Management
settings, so I can choose (or configure) the best scheme for me.
I do understand the various settings and options available under the Power
Options Properties, including the integral control of the SpeedStep processor
settings. The default settings for each of the available "schemes" basically
seem logical, BUT...
I have noticed one thing that has me really confused:
I was comparing the default settings for "Running on batteries" for the
various schemes, and all but one of the themes available for my machine shows
a shorter time set to enter "System standby" than for "Turn off hard disks"!
For instance, on my machine the default values for Battery operation are:
Under the "Maximum Performance" scheme, Turn off HD is set to 15 min. and
Standby is set to 5 min.
Under the "Portable/Laptop" scheme, Turn off HD is set to 30 min. and
Standby is set to 25 min.
Under the "Home/Office Desk" scheme, Turn off HD is set to 10 min. and
Standby is set to 5 min.
Under the "Minimum Power Management" scheme, Turn off HD is set to 15 min.
and Standby is set to 5 min.
I THOUGHT I understood what the standby function was all about. Now I'm not
so sure!
What has me confused is: WHY set the time to enter standby SHORTER than the
time to simply stop the disk?
It seems logical to me that the sequence should be display off, then disk
off, then standby, then hibernate. BUT all but one of the ten factory default
power schemes for battery operation on my laptop are set so that the standby
time is SHORTER than the disk off time!
My questions:
1) Why should the system be set to enter standby sooner than turning off the
disk?
2) Shouldn't the system turn off the hard drive automatically upon entering
standby mode?
3) Under what circumstances would the standby mode be bypassed in favor of
simply turning off the disk?
Thanks for any comments or advice. I realy want to understand this!

within a month, I lose the networking and only get my own

I just attempted to update a Windows 2000 Server SP4 through Windows Update
including the Update Rollup. After reboot it shows a Blue Screen.

All F8 options don't work. There have never been any problems with the

Does anybody know a solution? Should I run a repair installation from CD? Is
there a known problem with the update rollup?
Thanks a lot,

- Windows XP >> 3d minesweeper game released3D Minefield is a 3D minesweeper game, it is a refreshing concept of
the old minesweeper game. It is a challenging game of strategy and
luck, taking its payers to the wonders of 3D environment. The game is
based on the classical minesweeper game with adjustable parameters that
allow you to change and complicate the game. Changing the classic
two-dimensional game to an original three-dimensional game has added to
the playability without changing the basic game logic.
To play 3D Minefield:
1.You can uncover a cube by clicking it. If you uncover a mine, you
lose the game.
2.If a number appears on a cube, it indicates how many mines are in the
six cubes that surround the numbered one.
3.To mark a cube you suspect contains a mine, right-click it.
4.If you are uncertain about a cube, right-click it twice to mark it
with a question mark (?). Later, you can either mark the cube as a mine
or remove the markings by right-clicking the cube again once or twice.
5.If you have marked all the mines around a numbered cube, you can
uncover the remaining cubes around it by clicking the numbered cube
with the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously. If not all mines
surrounding the numbered cube have been marked, the remaining covered
or unmarked cubes will flash when the numbered cube is clicked with
both buttons simultaneously.
Controls:
In this game, you can operate a camera that allows you to survey the
playing field by keyboard.
W or UP -- rotate up;
S or DOWN -- rotate down;
A or LEFT -- rotate left;
D or RIGHT -- rotate right;
Z -- zoom in;
X -- zoom out;
ESC -- quit.

- Windows XP Hardware >> HELP! my hard drive formatting not stickingthought the 2 partitions on my new hard drive got
formatted cause I "tested" by copying some file to both
partitions and saw them on BOTH partitions and observed
when clicked "Propertie" for BOTH, saw tabs called
(1) "Sharing" & (2) "Quota", whatever those
are/significance, I don't know yet/understand. Then
proceeded to rename BOTH, also in the "Properties dialog
box" (the names that the partitioning AND formatting
program gave the 2 partitions were generic-sounding names
(like DRIVE2Vol#1 & DRIVE2Vol2, cause I hooked it up as
an INTERNAL drive to a computer running WinXP Home
Edition SP1. The new drive was the only hard drive other
than the other drive that's already in the computer
running as the bootup drive (in
other words, I hooked it up on the same cable as the
bootup drive, using the spare connector that was hanging
off of the cable...so I jumpered the new drive as a SLAVE
drive (in a 2 drives on 1 cable, which presumably is the
PRIMARY channel cable)).
Thinking I liked what I saw, I turned off PC, removed
hard drive, jumpered it as a "SINGLE" drive by removing
the jumper-thingy and put it in my EXTERNAL case that has
BOTH FireWire/USB 2.0 interfaces and hooked it back to
the same WinXP computer I used to format it, except this
time using USB. Turned it on after the computer, ONLY 1
partition is usable, by which I mean
(1) the "DRIVE2Vol2" lost that name and now takes on yet
still another generic-sounding name "Local Disk" and when
I
(2) clicked "Properties" for the partition that lost its
name, the 2 previously observed tabs above are not there
anymore, and
(3) when I double clicked on it to find the files I
copied to it when it was an INTERNAL drive, those files
weren't there and Windows asked me if I "wanted to format
the drive?" I'm not sure if I should click "Yes" button
to format it or not........thus I'm here in this forum
(AND I THOUGHT THE ABOVE MENTIONED PARTITIONING &
FORMATTING SOFTWARE THAT COMES WITH THE DRIVE SHOULD HAVE
FORMATTED IT--ALREADY!!!)
Now for some details, the HD is a WD 250GB Caviar and the
software that came with it is WD Data Lifeguard Tool
v11.0 version for Windows (vs. for DOS). I partitioned 2
equal partitions. The sizes shown before I removed it to
make into EXTERNAL HD were 116GB x 2 (BTW, should I have
only this much GB as usable after formatting?
18GB "lost", not usable for my own data? Is this
common?). When it's an EXternal drive, only 1 partitions
of 116GB shows up......the other "missing" asks if I want
to format it? HEEEEEEEEELP please!!!! Thank you! (Oh,
BTW, the SW asked me if I wanted to use the drive
as "additional data drive" or "a bootable drive"....or
something along those lines. I elected to use "additional
data drive".)
