- Windows XP Network >> NDISWANIP key lost in XP ProfessionalRunning XP pro with the latest patches. At boot time I
get this message (event ID 4191) in the system event log:
"IP could not open the registry key for adapter
TCPIP\Parameters\Adapters\NDISWANIP. Interfaces on this
adapter will not be initialized."
When I update tcpip configuration on the local
connection, the changes take effect but are not visible
the next time I open the propertes window.
MSDN library has a workround for this for Windows 2000,
but this will not work in XP.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Bizarre local file / folder permission issue on XP Prohello
have a newly bought Dell laptop which has XP Pro (SP2).
in my c:\doc folder i've removed inheriting permissions from the parent
folder, and then added my account to have full control. have also
encrypted c:\doc for subfolders and files.
later when trying to read / write to any of the files and folders i get
an 'access denied' msg.
but can still browse the folders and files.
the bizarre things is, for any file / folder in the c:\doc folder:
- my account is shown to have ownership of the file
- my account is shown to have full control of the file
- i can change / add / remove permissions from the file
- the permission for the file can even be set to Everyone having full
control, and denying no one
- have changed the folder, subfolder and files to reinherit permissions
from the parent folder
- new files / folders can be created in the subfolder
- the advanced security settings | effective permissions tab shows that
my account and the Everyone account has full access to the file
any help most welcome
cheers and beers!

- Windows XP Hardware >> "Format did not complete successfully"Anyone ever receive this error message in Windows XP?
Please bear with me for a long story, I'd like to see if I
can get this resolved.
I bought a LaCie external Firewire drive a few months ago,
and for awhile it was working fine. Well, almost fine. I
used it for storing digital video for a video editing
system, and from time to time I had playback problems
where it would inexplicably stop in the middle of the
edited video (on the timeline, in Adobe Premiere 6.5).
So, I got on the Adobe forum, people said I should try
disabling the write caching on the drive. So I went in
and changed the radio button to "Optimize for Quick
Removal". Ever since I did that the drive slowed down
considerably, just chugging along and slowing the computer
along with it. I tried changing that setting back again,
but still slow and I couldn't access any of my files on
the drive. I then figured what the heck, I'll just
reformat and start over. It's just video and audio files,
and I have the original footage on DV tape anyway; I can
simply redigitize the media.
Well, I tried over and over again to reformat the drive,
and here's what happens. It goes to formatting, counts
the percentage, and everything, then when it reaches 100%,
it then gives an error message saying "The format did not
complete successfully". I tried deleting the partition,
recreating the partition, making it active, and
reformatting again, still same thing. I shipped the drive
back to LaCie (the drive manufacturer), they sent it back
saying they replaced a bridge board, tested the new board,
and everything's fine. When I received it back a few days
ago, I had to re-initialize, re-partition, and reformat
the disk, and I still got the same formatting problem.
Before I had sent it, the help desk person on the phone
said the problem might be my video capture card, which is
an ADS Pyro For Notebooks DV card. But my computer is
able to certainly talk to the drive and attempt to format
it fine, via the Firewire connection. So personally I
don't see a communications problem. Neither ADS nor LaCie
had anything in their documentation about the other
manufacturer's incompatibility.
Anyway, I was able to format the drive when I first got
everything (card and drive), but I don't understand what I
could have done in Windows XP to cause this latest
problem. My system consists of the following:
Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop w/700 MHz PIII
512MB SDRAM
Windows XP Professional
ADS Pyro Basic DV card For Notebooks (part of Platinum DV
package)
LaCie d2 External Firewire Drive 120GB 7200RPM
Please help! I fear by the time I get this resolved my
products will be out of warranty!

- Windows XP Support >> RWin Settings for multiple connection typesHi all-
Using a win xp pro laptop. I use it to connect to serveral different
networks:
=B71.5mbs T1 at work via wifi and wired
=B78.0/768 cable modem connection at home via wifi and wired
=B7Verizon EVDO 1xRTT on the road
=B7WiFi at places like Starbucks and Airports (guessing about a T1
connection to Internet)
=B7Dialup on the road sometimes
Ultimately, I'd love a tool that lets me save different profiles and
switch RWIN depending on the connection type.
I've done tests on DSLReports (www.dslreports.com/tweaks) and see that
depending on location and connection type I should use different rwin
settings for best performance. I can set these using drtcp, but does
anyone know of a better tool that doesn't require a reboot and will
allow for profile switching depending on where and how I am connected?
Thanks,=20

- Windows XP Update >> RWW TimeoutI'm attempting to RWW from a laptop using a Verizon air card. It's only
running in the national access mode, just a little faster than dialup. I
choose the 56K connection speed when I log on. Both client and server
desktop time out.
I use this laptop from home to access my desktop and server all the time,
then it's on cable wired or wireless. I need to have this ability as I'm
planning to be away for almost two weeks and I bought the card just for
this. It appears I'll have the same connection speed where I'm going. Am I
missing a setting somewhere? SBS 2003 Standard. Laptop and all clients are
on XP Pro w/ SP2.

- Windows XP >> Modem TroubleI have been working on a HP Pavillion desktop and have hit a snag. Each
time a dial-up connection is initiated a few minutes pass and an error
dialog box appears stating that the modem's port is open or that the
modem needs to be turned off and then turned on again. The modem is on
the COM 2 port and the device logs even state that the modem connected.
This is an internal modem and as far as I know there is no way to "turn
it of and turn it back on" I have tried removing the modem from the
device manager and restarting the computer to allow windows to
reinstall the driver. All to no avail.
NOW WHAT?
Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Windows XP >> S3 Standby question/problem
My new build (see below) will successfully go into and out of S3 standby and
wake up appropriately for network access (remote desktop, shared folder
access)
Here's the problem- when I boot up another computer in my home network my
new build wakes up even though no network traffic has been requested. Also
with one of my networked pcs on, my new build will constantly wake up (every
5 minutes or so)- again no network traffic has been requested. BTW my new rig
has a shared folder for videos that the other networked pcs occasionally use-
I have simple file sharing turned off
When the other computers are off my new rigs standby problems go away (this
took forever to troubleshoot)!
I've tried putting my new build on a separate switch but same problem- I
also noticed that the "wake up " signal is sent when the windows xp screen on
the booting computer states- loading your settings
Anyone have a solution?- obviously I still want to be able to wake up the
new computer with appropriate REQUESTED traffic- does windows automatically
ping its shares ever so often?
thanks in advance
new rig:
gigabyte p35 ds3-l motherboard
q6600

- Windows XP Support >> STOP ErrorsI have a little network set up that include my Desktop which is
running Windoze XP Home and a Laptop that is running 2000 Pro.
Suddenly the Laptop is refusing to boot up and generating a "STOP
Error" that says that I should enter Safe Mode and remove all the
peripheral hardware that is installed. When I enter Safe Mode I can't
get to a place where I can uninstall the peripherals, which are a 20
gig Pocketech drive, and a MS Wireless Network card. Nothing I do
seems to get this computer to boot past the STOP Error. Anyone know
anything about this type of error?

- Windows XP >> Long pause on highlighting 'New...'I have a small but irritating problem running XPSP2 - while using file
explorer whenever i r-click and select 'New...' from the context sensitve
menu (to create a new folder for instance) there is a long (10 seconds or
more) pause before the list of file types appears. It does this once, then
becomes almost instant (as it should) if i create a second new folder/file
but if i navigate to another area on the disk and 'create new' there i get
the pause again. It does this for all users and on all drives.
The system is plenty powerful enough, AMD FX-55, 2Gb ram and programs run
fine, photoshop CS for example, so i don't think there is a hardware problem.
I'm sure there's a file somewhere keeping this information that needs to be
remade or something, perhaps something i have to delete which will re-create
itself next time i logon?
It's small but highly irrating and thought someone might have an idea for a
fix?
Thanks

computer at home. They have XP Home.
They went to IE, went to tools, then clicked on the CONTENT tab. They
enabled the CONTENT ADVISOR and set a password, but now, they forgot what
the password is so they are not able to view anything.
How can they reset the password?

- Windows XP >> OEM Licensing QuestionHi there,
Say if we had a PC that had Windows 98 OEM version on it. We then
upgraded to Win XP using a Win XP Upgrade License (Volume License).
If we were to then totally upgrade the hardware, would this still be
legal? Obviously with an OEM version, as far as I know, you are not
supposed to move it or reinstall it to another PC. But now that I've
upgraded it to WinXP Volume License, does the restriction on the 98 OEM
license still carry through?
Kind Regards,
Nev

ntds://domain/printers. This works fine with 2000, but
XP Pro will not see it. When copying from a 2000 pc it
loses it's target all together. It would also be nice if
I could see "Directory" in My Network Places-->Entire
