  - Windows XP Setup >> RIS and DHCP1.) I am trying to test RIS at home and I only have 1 server can I run DHCP
    on the same server as RIS is installed??
    
    2.) Is a Linksys Wireless access point going to work for RIS Setup??
    
    3.) The reason I am asking is that I followed all the procedures and I was
    unable to resolve an IP Address and locate the RIS Server.
    
    Please help!

  - Windows XP Update >> User forced to rebootWe are currently running the latest version of WSUS on Windows 2003 SP1.
    The workstations are Windows XP Professional SP1.
    We have set the registry settings, so that users will receive and have the
    patches applied automatically. We'd like them to have the option to restart
    at a later time if they choose to. Same registry settings are applied to
    everyone (Admins and non-admins).
    However, the non-admins receive the prompt "Your updates have been installed
    successfully. To complete installation you must restart our computer. Do
    you want to restart your computer now?" The "No" option is greyed out and
    cannot be clicked. Only the "Yes" option is available to them.
    On the other hand, the admins receive the prompt "Updateing your computer is
    almost complete. You must restart your computer for the updates to take
    effect. Do you want to restart your computer now?" and they have two
    options available, "Restart Now" and "Restart Later".
    We'd like all the users to receive the same prompt as the Admins get.
    Registry export is as follows:
    
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
    "NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001
    "UseWUServer"=dword:00000001
    "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
    "AUOptions"=dword:00000004
    "ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
    "ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003
    "AutoInstallMinorUpdates"=dword:00000000
    "RescheduleWaitTimeEnabled"=dword:00000001
    "RescheduleWaitTime"=dword:00000005
    "RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001
    "RebootRelaunchTimeout"=dword:00000564
    "DetectionFrequencyEnabled"=dword:00000001
    "DetectionFrequency"=dword:00000003
    "RebootWarningTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001
    "RebootWarningTimeout"=dword:00000005

  - Windows XP Network >> long time to logon and failed to map network drivesHi,
    I am sure whether it happenes to you or not. Sometimes it
    takes so long to logon the computer to the domain like 8
    minutes or something..and it failed to map those network
    drives. I have no choice but to restart the computer once
    again. Sometimes the problem is solved after restarting
    the computer but it is getting frustrated to do it every
    day as a routine. Plus sometimes all the icons and stuff
    are gone after logging in.. and I also have to restart
    the computer again to make the icons coming back. What
    seems to be the problem? I am not logging on at a busy
    time either. It would be nice if someone knows how to fix
    this. Thanks

  - Windows XP Support >> cannot install security updateI have a brand new pc Athlon 64 dualcore 3800, 300gb, 2gb DDR, Asus A8N
    Mobo, Nvidia GeoForce 6800. Windows Media Centre 2005 windows xp Home sp2
    all updates. No worms, spyware,malware, viruses, trojans etc etc.
    
    I went to download latest security update (KB912919) and it will not
    install, why could that be? I have also noticed that all of the text has
    disappeared from my Help and Support page leaving only the place markers
    where the text should be.

  - Windows XP Network >> Windows XP Home Network FrustrationI have been trying, thus far unsuccessfully, to network my Laptop with my
    Desktop. Both are running Windows XP Home for which all required updates
    have been downloaded.
    
    Computer Browser Service is started on both.
    
    The Workgroup name is NJBPAB, the computers, respectively are named NORM_D
    (Desktop) and NORM_L (Laptop).
    
    In the hope that SKP may be able to help and, at the risk of boring everyone
    to tears, the diagnostic info that I thought might be relevant follows.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Norm Butler

    I see your point about the 3GB hard drive, so i'll get rid of it. As
    for the floppy drive, there isn't one, period. Also, my 80 GB hard
    drive -used- to use its full capacity, but I had problems with it so I
    let a friend of mine configure my hard drive setup for me. As for my
    boot disk, I meant that my boot disk was a retail version XP CD-ROM. My
    mainboard make i'm not sure of yet, but i'll get back to you later on
    with that one (after i've finished work at 2pm).

  - Windows XP Support >> STOP: c000021a 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x00000000)I have a DELL Optiplex GX150 with Windows XP Pro SP1. The PC was working fine
    until a few days ago. I powered it on and everything looked fine until an
    error window came up. The contents follow:
    
    ______________________________________________
    | SAS Window: winlogon.exe - Application Error |
    |
    |
    |
    |
    | The instruction at "0x77f52a84" referenced memory |
    | at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written". |
    |
    |
    | Click OK to terminate the program. |
    |______________________________________________|
    
    *******
    
    AFTER clicking on OK a BLUE screen appears with the stop error that reads:
    
    STOP: c000021a [Fatal System Error]
    
    The windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with
    status of 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
    
    The system has been shut down.
    
    *******
    
    A few seconds later the system reboots and the same thing happens. It's an
    endless loop unless the power button is used to cut power.
    
    *******
    
    I did a repair install from CD. It worked to the point that I was able to
    get into Windows XP and even got some work done. However, after I shut the
    system down and tried using it again the following day the same problem came
    about.
    
    Can someone please help me with this if you might have had to deal with it
    or just happen to have the fix. Thanks in advance. Any help greatly
    appreciated.

  - Windows XP Setup >> Need help with XP Pro install to a Serial ATA drive - getting error every time and want someone to explain it please!! It's driving me nuts!!I am trying to install XP Pro with SP2 slipstreamed onto a Serial ATA Drive.
    
    At the commencement of the process I have to press F6 to install the SATA
    drivers.
    
    Everything goes fine until I have selected the required driver and press the
    Enter key to load it.
    
    At that point I get the following error message:
    
    "File \WINXP\fasttx2k.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2113 in
    d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\oemdisk.c."
    
    I tried installing XP Pro from the original disk and got a virtually
    identical error message:
    
    "File \WINXP\fasttx2k.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in
    d:\xpsp1\base\boot\oemdisk.c."
    
    I have learnt elsewhere that the error (18) relates to some problem with a
    file location, but I have no idea what the heck is going on.
    
    I would really appreciate it if someone who can interpret this mess would
    explain it to me please!

  - Windows XP Setup >> Can't see D drive after upgrading to XPI just upgraded to XP (From 98SE). I have a pentium III
    500mghz machine with 2 hard drives (c=20Gig(WD), and
    d=80Gig(WD)). After I upgrades to XP, windows will not
    recognize the D drive (although the device managers see a D
    drive, but when I use explorer, it cannot read it and asks
    to format it). Also, the device manager thinks that it is a
    32Gig drive not 80Gig.

    things is it not working at system startup. If i login and execute it, it
    will then install. Anyone know why? is it something to do with the system not

  - Windows XP Network >> IMPROVE REMOTE DESKTOP SECURITYI am using a remote desktop connection. Immediately
    after connecting to the host computer, it automatically
    logs me on. My user name and password are already in
    there. How can I prevent this, so my user name and
    password must be typed in? I feel very vulnerable here.
    I have already gone into control panel and changed the
    way users log on and off to not use the welcome screen,
    but I can't figure out how to use the classic logon
    prompt. Thanks.

    currently my network system is configured as follow,
    
    D-Link Internet Router-> desktop running Win2K

    i.e. the Internet Router is connecting to both desktop running Win2K and
    laptop running XP Home.
    
    Both are able to connect connect to Internet, but when I want to share or
