- Windows XP Hardware >> Posts Overlooked?I have posted this 3 different times over the past 2 weeks
and no one at all has responded. By chance were my posts
overlooked or is it not that common of a problem?
My startup screen halts when i try to load windows. I just
reformated the drive and reloaded windows on it. It works
in another computer but not in this one. No matter if i
choose start from last known config ect.. I have changed
nothing in the bios and it has worked on this same
computer before. When i choose to load in safe mode it
stops at this
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition\WINDOWS\System32
\Drivers\Mup.sys
what is Mup.sys and how could i solve this probleM?
.
now there are updates to this post...
I have formated and reinstalled windows on the same hd..
does not fix the problem and the hd works on another
computer so its not the hd. I have turned off usb support
didnt fix it so i turned it back on. I also removed and
reinserted many of these to see if it was the problem.
Ram 1 stick at a time, cdrom and dvdroms both, removed the
usb cords from the motherboard. I have tried everything
that i can think of.. can anyone help?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Inventoring my WindowsI have several Windows XP disks around my house - and a couple of
Windows machines and a Mac with Parallels.
I'm going to upgrade my main computer and give my oldest away to my
grandson - I'll probably format that first and reinstall Windows.
But I need to inventory my machines and find out which machine is
using which version of Windows.
How do I do that?

Does anyone know of an idiot's (me) guide to setting up a home network/ICS

The 3 networked home computers worked fine including sharing internet via a

can access net.Manual doesn't seem too helpful
Thanks for any pointers

- Windows XP Hardware >> GAMES CRASHING XP? XP UPDATES TO BLAME?This problem has happened in the past few months. Around
the time microsoft started releasing those updates for the
sobig worm and such. I downloaded old ones they said were
critical also, and ever since then every time i play
computer games the computer crashes. This happens with
games that are in first person. Games like Mafia do not
crash, and thats a third person game. Games like counter-
strike or battle field crash. I would be playing one time
maybe 30 minutes. THen screen go black, then go back to
what i last saw and then the computer will be jammed
making me have to reset it using hte power switch. This is
very annoying. THe next time i got back, it will take less
than 10 minutes to do the same thing over. I tried
everything you guys said on stuff related, about msconfig,
about setting hardware acc to two to the left, turning off
anti alias, all sorts of things. And these problems arent
caused by my video card because I was using the same
drivers for over 6 months then I get this problem so I
update drivers for card and no luck still. Computer is not
overheating, I check bios its 120-125 degrees farenheit.
System:
HP Pavillion
Windows XP Home
1.67 ghz
512 mb ram
80 GB HD
cd-rw
32 mb nvidia geforce2 integrated gpu
I even used a virus scanner from a site you gave and I
found three minor trojans that would not cause this
because this has been happening before I got them. What is
the problem? I suspect its something in the updates. Or,
my computer IS overheating, I looked inside, no dust, fans
working well, evrything is fine. I have latest directx and
have since it came out. My power surge protector is where
I have plugged computer in for long time, since my old
computer and I dont think it has to do with power supply.
Same cords since beginning when I got computer. Computer
is about 3 years old little younger and problem happening
since 6 or so months, around late july. What is the
problem? Thanks

- Windows XP >> Chinese to English?My son is in China and has the use of a XP Pro PC. Unfortunatly it is in
Chinese. How does he go about changing it to English. Following is a quote
from him
Most of windows is in chinese characters (control panel, start menu,
microsoft word - when you type in word chinese characters appear). The
language toolbar is installed and as far as I can tell has english selected
(I picked it out from what I think was the regional language menu, again
its hard to say because it was in Chinese). The letters 'EN' appear at the
bottom right of the screen, when i click on them there are also options for
CH and JP. All three options are followed by chinese characters, the EN
one I believe is followed by the 2 characters for english, then the 3
characters for canadian in brackets.
Can any one help?

- Windows XP >> Password on StartupI just upgraded to XP Pro. For a couple of days, I could start it up
without any password, the way I did with WinMe. Today, at startup it
brings up a password dialog box. I suspect it is a result of my
installing last night MS Office XP &/or its media disk or its
interactive tutorial.
Whenever the password dialog has come up, I have just pressed OK. But I
would like to eliminate that step as I did in WinMe. I am the only
one using the computer and it is in my home. So, I do not need the
security of the password. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the
password dialog box? Thanks.

- Windows XP >> XP refuses to copy certain folders (2° posting)Hi
I've been having a lot of problems copying to XP folders to CD burner
recently.
The group have said that I should use the XP copying program but there is
something else going on.
When I try to copy a folder and its subfolders which occupy 288Mo, the image
just before copying ('XP is ready to copy the following files to CD')
occupies only 169Mo and of course a number of files are missing.
There are no error messages though!!
I have a feeling that the problem is due to the fact that I activated the
Windows 'indexing' option recently in some of these missing folders so the
question is...
Is there an issue between indexing and copying?
Has anyone got any other ideas as to why some folders refuse to be copied?
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Support >> Windows Media Player Crashing my systemI have recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro onto my computer. I am now having
problems playing any kind of movies, be it DVD or any other format. The
problem I am having is that every time I attempt to start a movie, my
computer starts hanging, and if I let it go long enough, the screen starts to
black out intermittently until the computer eventually crashes. When I
reboot, I get the "Windows has recovered from a serious error" to which I
always click "send report". It immediately brings me to a webpage, and says
it was caused by a blue screen error report, but does not give me any useful
information.
I am currently running the NVIDIA Pure Video decoder, which I was using
before my reinstall of Windows. I had no problems before formatting and
reinstalling. I have tried uninstalling Windows Media Player 11 and
reinstalling, and I have tried uninstalling the Pure Video decoder software
and again, reinstalling. I have not changed any of my hardware between the
format and reinstallation of Windows.
I am using Windows XP Pro with SP2. I have downloaded and installed every
Windows Update, including the optional updates. I cannot find anything in
the knowledge base, but it is always possible that I missed it in there.
I would appreciate any help if anyone has encountered this incident before,
or if anyone knows who to go to about this problem. Thank you, in advance.

- Windows XP >> Network and Hardware ConflictWhen I run either ITunes or Printshop v20 my HP 2610 all-in-one printer goes
nuts. All the panel lights flash and it becomes unusable until I remove the
power cord and plug it back in. The same thing happens when I run the
software from my HP notebook and my desktop computer. The printer is
connected to both computers via a wired network. I have tried changing the
network address for the printer numerous times without result. Anyone have
any suggestions???? Thanks!

- Windows XP >> What is this??Running XP SP2
I checked my start-up memo and found %systemroot%memory.dmp
I looked it up in Google and the consensus is to disable it in startup.
However, when I take out the checkmark and reboot, the checkmark is right
back.
Computer runs fine. How do I get rid of this start-up item?

- Windows XP >> Personalized Favorites Acting StrangelyI've got an annoying problem with IE 6.0. I have the Personalized
Favorites setting enabled. However, here are some of the things I've
observed.
1. Sometimes, on SOME Favorites folders, the most-recently-used
favorites appear, with the less-recently-used Favorites being hidden,
exactly as expected.
2. Somtimes, this feature works exactly OPPOSITE, with the
less-recently-used Favorites being displayed, while the
most-recently-used favorites are hidden.
3. Sometimes, the feature does not work at all, and all Favorites are
displayed. This happens most often on the Favorites folders I access
most frequently, even if I only use one shortcut over and over again!
4. Somtimes, a folder will be displayed correctly one day, and then
everything will be displayed the next day, even though I have changed
nothing!
It's a little thing, but it's gotten too irritating to deal with.
Anyone have any ideas other than a schizophrenic IE?

- Windows XP >> Why do critical updates screw up my computer so often?One of the reasons I am so leary to install microsoft critical updates
is because of the frequent experience of not having a working machine
when it reboots.
Just today I downloaded probably a month's worth of updates to my
otherwise up-to-date XP SP2 machine. The machine installs, reboots and
I'm greeted with 640x480x16 color VGA display. Somehow the critical
updates managed to screw with my video drivers. What?!! I used System
Restore and managed to recover one of my two screens back to hi-res
VGA. But I still have no idea what happened to my other screen.
This is not the first time i've encountered problems like this. I
repeatedly run into problems with the update patches.
I used to own a web server and had serious issues as well. sometimes
the server just wouldn't reboot and i'd have to rollback the latest
updates to recover my system.
Overall I've had much less damage done to my systems from malicious
viruses than i have from these critical updates.
Done ranting.

- Windows XP Hardware >> USB Storage Driver not workingI've recently bought a new memory stick after my last one
died whilst connected to the USB port.
Windows XP now does not recognise the new device. It is
recognised in other machines but not the one the previous
memory stick broke whilst connected to.
I can still use PDAs etc via the USB ports no problem.
Does anyone know if/how I can reinstall the USB storage
driver without totally reinstalling XP? I've searched
around the Microsoft drivers site and I cant seem to find
it.....
Thanks,
Mark

- Windows XP Update >> Not allowing me to use ActiveX ControlsWhenever I try to perform manual Windows Update on one of the computers I
service, the information bar pops down and says "Your security settings do
not allow web sites to use ActiveX controls installed on your computer."
I've tried changing all activex settings to enable or prompt, but same thing
keeps happening. I am unable to set the internet security setting to
medium-low.
Running Windows XP Pro SP2 with somewhat current updates (stopped working
all of a sudden; user has only user privileges, so couldn't have done this).
I don't mind running automatic updates, but it's against company policy, so
I just want to standardize everything. What am I not doing/doing wrong?
