- Windows XP >> Computer turns on by itself when the phone rings.A friend just got a new pc. The computer can be
completely shut down but when he uses the phone or
receives a call the computer will turn on. I am
suspecting the fax program but haven't been to check out
the configuration. Does anyone have any suggestions? I
think he is running XP.

- Windows XP Security >> reboot loop??My mother just called me, and their XP Home is caught in
a logon loop. 1. they never had to logon before..they
only have the one profile, and since installing xp,
they've never had a logon screen. Suddenly, this logon
screen comes up...when they click on the one profile (no
psswrd on it) explorer starts up, then boots them back
out to the logon on screen (says loggin out, saving your
settings, etc.)
This happens over and over and over...and they can't get
into windows.
I've had my father load in safe mode...it won't load with
safe mode w/networking...only safe mode. another funny
thing is the computer will load up in safe mode under
Administrator...but not under his profile. So I had him
add a new profile...still doesn't work...had him go into
msconfig...turn off everything but required
services...still doesn't work.
I told them they *must* have changes something recently,
and they said the only thing they did was perform a
security update from MS. So next I had them do a system
restore to before that update...still doesn't work.
I'm at a loss...anyone heard of this or hopefully have
some suggestions/answers?
thanks

can not remember what I did.
Has anyone any idea if this is a Outlook issue or an XP issue and how
to solve it.

- Windows XP >> Auto printers in the printer sectionHi,
When you connect a Windows XP System to a network you start getting printers
with Auto in front of them. Some are good and show as connected others
don't work.
1: Why do they show up
2: How do you stop them from showing up on the PC
3: I assume that you can just delete them and connect to your printers
normally
Thanks for your help

- Windows XP Support >> Backup DefragmentI backup my C Drive to an external hard drive weekly. When I use
defragment/analyze I'm told it needs defragmented. I run the defragment and
when it completes the report says that all of the files in the backup could
not be defragmented. What would the effect of the fragmented backup file(s)
be if I needed to restore from the backup? Is there a way to defragment these
files that I'm not aware of?
Thanks for the help.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Please, I need some EXPERT helpI have posted this question elsewhere in the forums here, but obviously I
need expert help.
I'll try to make the details short, as I am not a novice. I am running an
ECS D6VAA with dual PIII 933's, the board has an onboard second IDE
controller, a Highpoint HPT370. I am running win xp pro SP2 embedded. This
is my old board, I have already migrated everything to a PD 805, but now want
to use the old one as a server. I have the orignal MB CD, and have d/l every
other driver known to man, every where all over the world.
My problem is that I can't get my current (validated) install of windows to
load the driver for the HPT370. the sessage I get while trying is:
"The driver installation file for this device is missing a nessessary
entry. This may be because the INF was written for Windows 95 or later.
Please contact your hardware vendor"
OK, the board I mentioned is no longer supported by ECS, however I have had
this board and onboard HPT370 working before with about two or three previous
intalls of win xp pro.
Another curious thing is that the bios sees the controller, the controller's
bios sees the drives, and when I boot from a CD, namely a Western Digital
Data Lifeguard CD, it will see the controller, and give me the names I gave
these drives when they were active on this MB before.
So, in closing, are there any REAL pros out here, or do I have to take my
chances with re-installing from my OEM disk and have a "too many activation"
message, or should I just go ahead and install Linux and say to heck with it?
p.s. Yeah, I wanna try Linux, but wanted to get it all working with win b4
I do . . .

- Windows XP >> malfunctioning searchHello,
Have a malfunctioning Windows XP SP2 "search function".
At some point in the search it will become stuck in a sub
folder. When the stop button is clicked the program will not stop.
Use Ctrl-Atl-Delete and stop process, program window will go but the
Explorer.exe will continue (50% + cpu use). Need to reboot to stop.
Used sfc /scannow. Did not change search behavior.
No other known problems.
Appreciate assistance.
Thank You.
Take care.

- Windows XP Network >> DNSClient in registryHi All,
Have random clients on the network pick up an old dns ip address of
192.168.1.6. This setting overrides all other settings to define dns servers
such as dhcp server options, dhcp scope options and suprisingly GPO (domain).
Don't understand why these clients are pcking up this old dns IP even when
scope tions and GPO specify main DNS server (192.168.1.8).
NO DNS/DHCP services runniong on 192.168.1.6.
Not sure what puts this entry on the registry, under local
machines,software,polcies, microsoft,windowsnt,dnsclient ?
Tried to run gpudate on XP SP2 machines but they hold onto the 192.168.1.6
address inn registry under dnsclient key even though GPO specify 192.168.1.8.
This part of the GPO doesn't seem to work if there is data under this key
(DNSClient)
Any help please
Thanks

A "Mgf's OEM" and "MS OEM" would be the same thing. Now OEM copies of
Windows are bound to the hardware they are sold with. But if you need to
replace a hard drive thats no problem.

Not necessarily. The MS OEM is what "Mom and Pop" builders buy from
MS, usually a disc and license per PC. These are the OEM discs you see
for sale often.
The Mfgs OEM is an OS customised to the particular PC it is sold with.
It usually comes as a restore disc set, or hopefully not in your case,
as a hidden restore partition.

i have one problem. When i´m going into the user accounts i only can see

The funtionality is given - only the optical things don´t work.
Usually infront of "user accounts", "user account types" and "change user"
there are those small icons.
Even when i boot in secure mode or log in with another user account - the
effect stays the same.
I am using a german windows xp pro including all updates. For this

- Windows XP Security >> Copy user profile disabled?I have a brand new XP prefessional system. When I first started it, I
created a user account, say ua. By default, it is administrator. Later, I
created another two accounts: ub and uc, both are administrator. I try to
copy ua's profile to ub account. I log in as uc, then go to Control Panel --
System -- Advanced, then click Settings for "User Profiles". In the opened
"User Profiles" window, I see 4 user profiles stored in this system:
Administrator, ua, ub, and uc.
When I select Administrator or ub profile, the button "Copy To" is enabled
and I can copy its profile to other account. However, when I select ua
profile, the button "Copy To" becomes disabled. So, I cannot copy ua's
profile to account ub although I logged in as user uc that is the
administrtor.
I tried to create more accounts, and found that only the very first account
created during the initial starting process of the brand new system is always
disabled in profie copy.
Can somebody explain why? I really want to copy the first account's profile
to a new account including all the data and settings (like word macro,
outlook account and data etc.). How to do it?
Thanks!

- Windows XP >> Recovered most files from deleted partition but....'m using a free program from a German company called "Convar" called

However, a few songs give me an error message such as...
Windows Title Bar: NT_read error
drv:129 LBA: 633912008 block:128
I get the option to abort, rety, or ignore - If I ignore it the same

I haven't made any changes to the drive ( that I know of) since I

Would I have better luck with R-Studio, Acronis Disk DIrector - or
