- Windows XP Hardware >> Graphics Card ProblemAny help would be very much appreciated with the following
My son has a 1.53g AMD Athlon pc running Win XP Home
The Bios program from the AMI web site shows the motherboard/chipset as follows
ID String = 62-0415-001131-00101111-071595-SiS730
Motherboard Manufacturer Code = 1131 ELITGROU
Chipset SiS730 Rev
Bios Date 04/15/0
When purchased I believe this PC had on-board graphics but a Hercules 3D Prophet (Kyros series) PCI graphics card was installed some time back and appears to function correctly
He has now purchased a GeForce FX5200 AGP card made by Sparkle that he would like to install and this is where the problem is....
The drivers for the Hercules card were removed using device manager, the pc shut down and the card removed from the PCI slot. The new AGP card was installed in the vacant AGP slot and the pc re-booted. On start up no new hardware was found as I assumed would be the case? Any attempt to load the drivers from the accompanying cd results in the msg - An unsupported operation was attempted. Clicking OK results in an error msg - MFC Application has encountered an error and needs to close etc. et
I have gone into the Bios/Set-up (Version 1.21.86) at the start-up screen and on the menu if I select PCI/Plug & Play Setup I can/have tried changing the Primary Graphics Adapter from PCI to Onboard AGP. I'm not sure if this is the correct thing to do but either way it makes no difference to the new AGP card
Any ideas on how/if I can get this new AGP card working would be a real bonus!

- Windows XP Network >> Network works, but no internetHere is the situation: We hooked up 9 new PCs with WIN XP PRO into and
existing network at a hospital. We used a Linksys 16-port Switch. There are
three existing PCs (all have Win XP Pro as well) on the network which brings
us to a total of 12 PC in all. The issue we are having is this. The 9 New
PCs, when hooked into the network and given the proper IP, gateway, DNS, etc.
will network and see one another and share data fine. However, They will not
access the internet and they will not see the other three existing PCs that
were previously on the network. They all have the same workgroup name, and
are on the same IP sequence, etc. Here's another thread for you. The three
existing PCs will see each other, access the internet, and seem to have no
problems. Now, we have tried different IP sets, Different Workgroups,
different switches, different Network cards, all with the same outcome. What
could we be overlooking here and what else can we try? Thanks for your time.

- Windows XP Support >> Got Alemon Trojan... deleted but can't change wallpaperGood evening.
My system was infected with the Alemon trojan. I was able to delete it.
All subsequent virus scans are showing up clean. This program changed my
wallpaper to an .html file. I deleted the file, however now I just get a
white background. I'm unable to change my wallpaper to anything else. I've
looked at several instructions, but don't find the registery entries they are
talking about.
Can anyone provide me with some help on how I can change my wallpaper again.
Thanks.

- Windows XP >> Software Not Genuine errorRecently, I have disjoined three computers form a labbing domain prior to
reinstalling the DC (2003SP1-ent.ed.). Initially there were RPC and
authentication errors after the installation. During the troubleshooting of
those problems, the three labbing machines were again joined, disjoined and
rejoined to the domain. However, on ALL three of the domain member machines,
I received a pop-up notifying me that the software was not genuine and that I
may have been a victim of counterfeit software! Two of the machines are OEM
installs and the third one is from a TechNet+ license. Also, the Win2003 DC
is from a TechNet+ license and it has been activated each time I installed it
for labbing purposes.
If I restore the machines (rstrui.exe) OR disjoin them from the domain yet
again, the non-genuine warning goes away and the machines' full functionality
is restored.
Because of this behaviour, is the error indicating an apparent problem with
the SERVER's license and not the member machines???
How can I investigate this further?
Thanks.

Any/All folders you arrow over them and it shows a sub folder as (Empty)
If I want to start a program I have to go thru My Computer, C:, Program Files
How can I re-associate/teach Windows to learn the paths so that they will

And I have tried Restore Point but it does not re-associate the paths.

- Windows XP >> Unable to open IEWhen I attempt to open IE (vers 5.5) (have AOL 9.0 as Net
connection) the status (?) bar (at bottom left which tells
you if document is done or not) flickers
"toolbar2.i-lookup.com." Then after about 30 seconds the IE
window closes. This sounds like a spyware or virus problem
but I already ran Ad-aware and a virus check program on my
Sony VAIO and cleaned suspect files. Anyone know how I can
restore my IE access to normal?
Thanks!

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Restoring default XP SP2 registry keys
I was not able to install a new version of an engineering software package
because something was left behind in the registry from the older version that
I had removed. So I stupidly deleted a couple of registry keys that looked
related to the software without documenting them (not just the tags, but the
folders with the long alphanumeric strings). Now when I try to install the
software it gives me an error. I ran system restore but the problem is still
there (I don't think it restored the registry keys I deleted). Is there a
way to install all of the default Windows SP2 registry keys or to download
and reinstall SP2 in general?
Thanks!

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Restoring default XP SP2 registry keys
I remember learning that you can use the Recovery Console on a Windows XP CD
to restore a kind of default registry to your computer. This keeps the data
safe and all you have to do is re-install your apps.

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Restoring default XP SP2 registry keys
Thanks! That sounds like it would solve the problem. Unfortunately, my
Windows XP install CD is not with SP2 (the plain XP Pro CD came with my Dell
laptop) and it won't let me run it since the current OS (with SP2) is newer
than the CD). I looked everywhere on Microsoft's website, but I couldn't
find anywhere that would let me download the SP2 version. Do I have to
resort to buying a Windows XP CD with SP2 or is there somewhere online that
anyone knows about where I might be able to download the recovery console
without having to purchase an operating system I already have? Thanks again.
I appreciate it!!

- Windows XP Support >> need some advanced registry recovery tips...Leave it to windows' automatic disk checking schemes to screw everything
up...
I just performed a routine restart, since it had been a few weeks, and
certain things were starting to become sluggish. Overall though, there was
really nothing wrong with the overall operation of my system.
As XP booted (i have XP pro SP1 btw), it went into the scandisk routine for
C: and I wasn't paying enough attention to stop it in time. It was
relatively uneventful, removing only one bad file and recovering one orphan
(allegedly). Thereafter XP booted again normally until I went to log in;
here I recieved a message claiming (and i need to paraphrase a bit), "your
registry has been recovered from a saved version". uh-oh.
It then did something i haven't seen before (at least, not exactly). The
login screen eventually disappeared to reveal my usual desktop, but stopped
there. It loaded no icons, no taskbar or systray. the HD grinding stopped
soon enough, and it just sat there. So far I've timed this behavior at 5
minutes. I was able to bring up task manager, which reported nothing
out-of-the-usual (other than very few programs running), except no
Explorer.exe -- I couldn't even launch it manually. I restarted with "last
good configuration" (but without high hopes), same result. The weirdest
part -- It even behaves this way now as i bring it up in safe mode. It's
currently just sitting there. I can bring up a command window fine, and if
i do "run" through task manager I can browse the whole computer, but i can't
"open" a folder.
My #1 theory at this point is that the "registry recovery" buggered it --
and I haven't had to deal with this kinda thing manually for a while.
Usually with clients, where all they have of value is some saved e-mail that
i can back up easily, i just wipe the HD and/or reinstall XP, but in my case
I'd prefer to save that for a last-ditch-scenario. Can someone step me
through doing some advanced registry recovery? I know what I'm doing, but
right now I just forget how to do it or where to look for
resources/instructions.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Especially in vidogames, they are prettymuck unplayable
by my standards. I have a radeon 9000. Everything was
running nice and smooth. But now everything sucks! Why,
What happened, how can I get my comp running normally????
I ran avg antivirus. It found like fifty infected
files and healed them. No change in performance. One
file cannot be fixed: "system32\msconfig35.exe."
Can I grab that file from another computer and replace
it? I know it's an important one. It says the other
files are healed.
Also can't open task manager. Have done proceedures
reccomended to other people for this; no change.
Also when I shut down, comp says trying to shut down
Wnd RNAmin. WHAT IS THAT?????
ANYONE, HELP !!!

I recently had a virus that errased my desktop icons :-(
I heard that if I create a new user, this new user will have a new desktop
(fully functional) and I won't re-install WinXp.
There's no Start button at the bottom of the screen and I can't create a new
user the old fashioned way (control panel). BUT I have access to the command
prompt (run), but I need to know if I can enter the program name that will
allow me to create a new user account ?

- Windows XP Network >> VPN seems to use Internet DNS before using VPN DNS serversWe have a split-brain DNS setup for one of our servers. This works fine as far as Internet clients getting a DNS resolution that is different than our internal clients.
We also have users who establish a VPN connection to our network. After a VPN connection is established, the VPN client uses the DNS servers from the Internet connection instead of the DNS servers from the VPN connection. Actually, it looks like the VPN client first queries the Internet DNS servers, then if that fails, it queries the VPN DNS servers.
How can I force a VPN connection to first use the DNS servers that are associated with the VPN connection instead of the DNS servers that are associated with the Internet connection?
