- Windows XP Network >> Mixed OS network printing problemsHi all
I've set up a small network at home with 2 XP laptops and one Win98SE tower.
I have a printer plugged into the 98 machine (because I want to keep the
others portable and also it has a parallel port) but I can't print to it
from the XP machines. I can see the printer in the 'network places' but get
a 'cannot communicate with the printer' error when trying to print. I've
got XP drivers for the printer on the XP machines and Win98 drivers on the
98 machine. My network runs through a combined adls/router/gateway box. I
assume that the mixed OS thing is causing me the problem. This is the only
problem with the network, everything else, eg file sharing, works fine.
Anyone have any ideas how I can sort this out without buying a copy of XP
for the tower?
Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> Connecting two wireless networks?I'm pretty new to networking, and want to keep my question
simple. I have Verizon wireless, with XP-home computer and
Router upstairs, and XP-home computer and laser printer
downstairs. Wireless internet connections work fine.
Trying to connect printer to downstairs computer wirelessly.
Have connected printer and downstairs computer using Netgear
WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter ($29.99 at Frys), and printer
works fine. Now, the question. Is there any way to have
both my Verizon wireless network and the Netgear wireless
network (computer to printer only) to work together (e.g.,
connect one to the other)?
Thanks,
Clayton in Texas

- Windows XP Network >> Multiple Machines & ProfilesAfter switching everyone from an Nt4 server to 2003 server and using the
domain migration tool, 2 out of the 17 computers in our office (all running
XP pro) have developed a problem with user profiles.
If a user logs out, then tries to log back in they get an error message
about the profile being missing, and having to use a temporary profile. If
the user reboots there isn't a problem.
The events from the event log are below. Does anyone know what the problem
may be? I've tried using msconfig to limit what starts up, but that doesn't
work.
---------------------
Event ID: 1508
Windows was unable to load the registry. This is often caused by
insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.
DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process. for C:\Documents and Settings\rcl\ntuser.dat
---------------------
Event ID: 1502
Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process.
---------------------
Event ID: 1515
Windows has backed up this user's profile. Windows will automatically try to
use the backed up profile the next time this user logs on.
---------------------
Event ID: 1511
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary
profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.

- Windows XP Security >> DEP and computer administratorDear Forum,
How are you?
I am having a problem with DEP. It has closed a registry compactor I wanted
to use. I am directed to System ->Performance->Settings-> DEP and all the
fields are greyed out.
I am the only user on the computer and am the computer administrator. I
tried editing the boot.ini file and itâ??s not changed.
I am supposed to have a change settings button on the close program window
but it is not there.
Can anyone help?
Hope you are keeping well,
All the Best

- Windows XP Support >> Hard drive power managementHi, I have a question about power management settings for desktops. I
understand all of the options except "shut off HDs". How can a HD truly be
off if there is any background processes going on? That is, if my computer
is doing periodic backups, communications with a company firewall, etc... how
does it ever shut down? When I test it out, and attempt to send things to
that computer across a network, it seems as if it's still on. It certainly
sounds on from just listening to the machine, and it doesn't appear to be
spinning down and then back up again like from standby. The problem is that
I need to maintain a 24/7 connection to the internet to receive packages and
patches, so I can't use standby.
Could anyone give me some more information on the "shut off HD" option in
the Power Management settings, and how to test if the HDs are truly shutting
down?

"this is not a valid Win 32 application. Contact the vendor or ... " Online
Games won't work without Java applets so I don't know what to try next. I've
gone to Internet Tools, Advanced, and under my HTTP 1.1 heading, there is no

do, please tell me. How do I get rid of this WIN 32 message that blocks all

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> GUI features disappear and programs won't launchI've been having a problem with Windows XP for the past
few months in which programs will stop opening and
certain GUI features will start disappearing. It's as if
my system is completely out of memory or system resources
(even though I have 512mb of RAM and the task manager
will show that there is still plenty of memory to spare).
This problem usually occurs when my computer has been on
for a while, or when I have several windows open (but by
no means an excessive amount). Here are the symptoms that
I've noticed:
- Internet Explorer icons will disappear, or the toolbar
layout will change itself to a more minimal display.
- Programs will refuse to launch. They will just issue
a "Windows error" sound when I click their icon, and will
give no other notification.
- Sometimes the task-list that usually pops up on a right-
click will simply not show up.
- Sometimes even the task manager will refuse to launch
on a Ctrl+Alt+Del.
It's as if my computer is at it's absolute breaking point
in terms of system resources, and simply cannot afford to
create one more process. And yet I do not have a
tremendous amount of processes running, and there is
still plenty of unused physical and virtual memory! I've
run memory diagnostic utilities such as MemTest86 and
Windows Memory Diagnostic, but they don't find any errors
in my RAM. So now I think is more a Windows XP issue. Any
ideas what the deal is?

Windows XP >> IE History not working
Anybody know why IE History would not work? The View By Most Visited
contains pages, but the other three views (By Date, By Site, By Order
Visited Today) are all empty. The word "Today" does not even show up under
By Date. I have set IE to keep 15 days of history, so there should be
something there. Any ideas? (Message also posted on IE newsgroup)

Windows XP >> IE History not working
Unfortunately, it didn't fix my problem. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
The following is the a better description of the original problem I reported
(copied from the IE newsgroup).
"My IE History doesn't work anymore under one of my user accounts. My other
account works fine. Both accounts are set up as administrators.
"The View By Most Visited contains pages, but the other three views (By
Date, By Site, By Order Visited Today) are all empty. The word "Today" does
not even show up under By Date. I have set IE to keep 15 days of history, so
there should be something there. Another symptom is that nothing shows up
under the History folder when I try to look at it with Windows Explorer
using this user account; the 'History.IE5' is there when I use another
account.
"I have seen previous posts mentioning two possible solutions: turning off
ActiveX prevention in the anti-virus software, and deleting the corrupted
index file. I turned off scripting in Norton AV (I think that's the right
setting to turn off), and then I turned off Norton AV completely (in case it
isn't). No history. I then logged off, logged on with my other user account
and deleted the History and Temporary Internet Files folders for the first
account, emptied the recycle bin, rebooted (just in case), and logged on
again. Both folders were recreated, but still no history."
Any ideas?

Windows XP >> IE History not working
Thanks for your help Kelly. I too didn't have any luck. I have only one account set up but apart from that I have almost the same problems as Glenn
I have also noted that if I look at te Temp Internet files via a right click on that IE Icon etc etc it gives a different result than if I have IE opened. Even if not connected to the internet.
Oh and by the way Kelly can you tell me how to restore my Help and support button (via START) to show what it used to and not take me directly to your website please. I did not want this to happen. I have your site as a favourite

Windows XP >> IE History not working
Hi,
Possibility:
I have seen this behavior caused by McAfee and from the date and time being
incorrect. Checkpoints and Suggestions:
Check to be sure that your date and time is correct. Also, if you are using
McAfee, this will help:
McAfee gave this solution to the bug where VirusScan 6 stops your
Internet Explorer History file working.
Open VirusScan console
Select "Pick a task..."
Select "Change my VirusScan settings"
Select "Configure VShield background scanning"
Select "Customise your VShield settings"
Select the "Internet Filter" icon from the icons down the left hand side On
the "Detection" tab, in the 'Applet filters' section, remove the tick next
to "ActiveX Controls".
As for Help and Support: Go to - Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this
key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f1-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\Instance\Init

- Windows XP Hardware >> CD and CD-RW suddenly can't read discs.Both my optical drives have stopped reading CDs. In My Computer the CD-RW
drive is blank and the CD drive gives a message saying,"Windows cannot read
from this disc ..." Both drives recognize a CD (music, data) if it is in the
drive when the computer boots. However, if you open and close the drive it
can no longer see the disc. With a music CD I can get it to play using
Windows Media Player even though My Computer shows nothing there. Device
Manager shows everything is fine. I have tried disabling AVG Antivirus. These
drives have worked for over 2 years until now.

- Windows XP Support >> sleep awake does not show icons, only backgroundThis is WinXP pro, with all updates applied. When the system display has
gone to sleep and a key is pressed, the background appears but no icons. The
only keys that work are ctl/alt/del. It then shows the icons and the task
manager window. After canceling the task manager window the system seems to
work properly. The system is protected by PCCilian and router firewall.
When I tried to do a repair install using the XP CD, it said the system was
a later version than the CD and did not want to run.
I hope someone has some idea how to eliminate the problem.

- Windows XP Support >> Network XP file server set-up difficultiesI'm trying to complete the replacement of an old Linux server for my church
with a new XP file server because we need more storage space and the vendor
for our data management software does not support Linux. Every time they
send a software upgrade, we have problems that they have trouble helping us
resolve because of the way Linux and windows products differ in management
of permissions. Part of the transfer is done and working well, other parts
I'm having trouble getting to allow mapping to two resources simultaneously.
1. Each user needs to be mapped to the data folder for the data management
software [done and running smoothly]
2. Each user needs access to a shared folder for a few documents that we
all need to see and/or modify (password protection desirable, but not
absolutely necessary) [conflicts with step 3 below]
3. Each user also needs access to a folder on the server that only they
have access to (with password protection) [conflicts with step 2 above]
I had steps 1 and 2 done, but when I tried to accomplish step 3, I ran into
conflicts and got messages like: "The network folder is currently mapped
using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user
name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network
share." and/or "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the
same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all
previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again."
When I disconnected and tried again, I lost step 2 on the workstation that I
was using. That's what got me here to ask the wisdom of those who know what
they're doing.
Here's what the file structure I'm trying to work with on the server looks
like (actual file names are different, but this is where they are):
C:\membership data folder
C:\shared documents
C:\users\user1
C:\users\user2
C:\users\user3
C:\users\user4
C:\users\user5
C:\users\user6
I have administrator rights on the server, so I can make any changes in
permissions there. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

this problem gets posted - and it gets posted plenty everywhere.
Time to fess up! Stand up, take responsibility, and fix the problem. (or
maybe I'll buy a Mac next time)

- Windows XP Network >> My website through "My Network Places", not working correctlyI have a domain and hosted site through godaddy. I have a link to my website
under my network places. The link is to my root directory. Used to, if I
browsed to a folder and clicked on a jpg file, IE would open up and display
the jpg. In the address of IE would be the full path to the file. I could
copy this and paste it into forums. Now, when i click a jpg on my website
through my network places, I get windows fax and pic viewer and it says can't
display preview. I can't remember changing anything.
When I click on a jpg in a regular windows folder, the file opens up with
windows fax in pic viewer and shows the picture. If I go to file properties
and tell jpg's to open with Adope Photoshop, if I click on something on my
computer, photoshop opens and the file shows. But, If I browse to my website
through my network places, and click a jpg, photoshop will open but no file
will display?
What could have changed??
Thanks
