- Windows XP Support >> Windows Startup HelpOk guys i have asked before and i cant remember what the reply was but here
goes.
When i boot my sons machine up running win xp pro, 40 gig hard drive 2 gig
cpu 512mb ddr ram (changed the mem in case it was the sdram), some of the
systray icons don't appear like sound and anydvd and my Epson monitor icon,
i can reboot the machine and then they appear, again i can go on the next
day and some aren't there, this happens all the time. I run AVG, Norton,
anydvd, daemon tools and the volume and Epson monitor are the only ones in
the systray normally.
I have checked with 3 spyware programs and two anti virus programs and the
machine is clean as a whistle as far as the programs are telling me, i have
also been in taskbar menu and nothing is hidden in the hide inactive icons
menu, what is the problem, is there something wrong with windows.
I have also just put the stuff in a new case thinking maybe power supply was
crap but still doing it in a 500w case
help please

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Boottime defragDid a boot time defrag & now Windows XP doesn't start up
anymore. Immediately after the memory check & drive
detection, the screen goes grey & the hard disk stops.
End of story. I used Executive Diskeeper (don't know the
version number because I can't get into the PC.).
Does anybody know what I can do to get around this?

- Windows XP Network >> Accessing network driveI am operating a small Microsoft network of 2 computers both using Windows XP
SP2. Each computer is a member ofthe same workgroup. I am attempting to do a
late night backup from one to the other that continuily fails. I get an
error message that the destination drive is not available. If I attempt to
run the backup manually, it fails also but if I manually open the destination
drive with explorer, which I can, then attempt the backup it works fine. Any
ideas on what is going on or how to correct it???

- Windows XP Support >> Winlogon Error with Auto Screen SaverI've seen others with similar messages but mine is unique that it occurs
whenever my windows screensaver (doesn't matter which pattern) engages in the
time frame I designate.
Just as the screensaver starts to open, I get an error message saying "The
instruction at â??0x00000000â?? referenced memory at â??0x00000000â??. The memory
could not be â??readâ??."
The error occurs whether I password protect my screensaver or not.

- Windows XP Network >> LINKSYS WRT54GSIs anybody using this router, I'm tearing My hair out trying to figure it out.
My problem is a IP Network Camera, it is a sony snc-m3, I can view the
camera from the computer hooked to my router, but ever time I type in My
static IP Address from another loacation, thru the internet I get My router.
The camera will send Me e-mail when motion is detected on the camera, so
this tell Me that the mail port is open and the camera is working to some
point.
I'm wondering, if I can connect from the internet from another location by
typing in My Static IP Address and port number and I get My router and the
camera is sending Me e-mail then it must have something to do with enabling
the port number for the camera,PLEASE HEEEELLLPPPP
Thanks

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Sound Recording ProblemsThe recording function on my PC is not recording sounds
through the microphone.
The microphone is working.
The sound card is working.
The problem has occured before and a microsoft certified
dealer reinstalled the recording devices.
I would like to fix this problem myself.
These are the additional messages/issues experienced:
Through the control panel, the Sounds and Audio Devices
Properties application is launched. Choosing the Voice
tab, the Test hardware... button is selected.
After going through a timed diagnostic, two alert
windows are displayed:
1st. "An error occurred during DirectPlay Voice setup.
The error code is 0x8004005."
2nd. "Windows cannot execute DpvSetup.exe, use Add/Remove
Programs control panel to install."
There is no obvious method of installing this component
through the 'Change or Remove Programs' button or
with 'Add/Remove Windows Components'
I did find a Microsoft article on their Support &
Troubleshooting page when I did a search on the
phrase 'dpvsetup.exe':
282882 - Error Message: Windows Cannot Execute
DPVSetup.exe, Use Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to
Install
This was exactly the error message I received but when I
tried the fix suggested in the article, (i.e., the
correction), I went into the Sounds and Audio Devices
Properties, chose the voice tab and hit the Advanced
button under Voice Playback which opens an Advanced Audio
Properties window. The article recommends: "On the
Performance tab, move the Hardware Acceleration slider at
least one position to the right."
My tab is already as far right as it can go.
Any Suggestions?
Thanx in advance,
-Douglass

Windows XP >> Safe Removal tool gone missing
The "safe hardware removal tool" has gone missing from
the taskbar. I have a USB ADSL modem always connected,
so it should be there... but it still doesn't appear when
I plug in my USB data key.
Can't find any reference to the s/w which performs this
function so can't attempt to start it manually.
Any ideas? (This is XP pro SP1 and all critical updates)
Ta,

- Windows XP Hardware >> Game CardNot able to activate the Thrustmaster Game card with
Windows XP. The Control stick / throttle / rudder pedals
required a dedicated game card to work with Flight

- Windows XP Network >> XP clients lose authentication to Win2K3 server overnightI have two WinXP [SP1 w/current security hotfixes] users that stay logged
in indefinetly to their Win2K3 server connections or at least try to.
In the span of 8-36 hours their authentication goes stale and they cannot
reconnect without rebooting. The error box indicates a connection already
exists for the user if they try to login to the login dialog box that pops
up when they are trying to utilize a prior network link. [\\... link not D:
mapping].
I use Win2K Pro workstation and do not have the same problem. Nor have we
seen this with WinXP conneccted to Win2000 server.
Any suggestions?

or should i go to Internet Explorer forum?
i have always had excellent advice from here and i habitually come here.
i have seen the results of a class in internet explorer. but after 10 days
when i want to see the numbers and results again i find that only 15 numbers
can be displayed in the auto complete (ie as soon as i type the first
number, the numbers come up in a drop down box.) how can i increase the
number to, say 50, so that i need not have the list again and need not refer
it again.

- Windows XP >> Windows XP DSTGood Afternoon Everyone,
I am having a problem with the recent DST change. I recently had to do a
repair/upgrade on a couple of Dell Optiplex 320 PCs. The repair went fine but
now the PC will not automatically adjust the time for DST. I install all of
the Windows updates and I recently tried to install the DST 2007 update.
After the installation it said it was already installed. Thank everyone in
advance for their help.

- Windows XP >> usb 2 hardware but no usb2 functionI have read everything I can find on the knowledge base, as well as on the
Via website. I have an AMD based machine with a VIA chipset kt600-8237. I
have successfully installed the Via Enhanced Host Controller driver. On the
Device Manager I discern the following:
Driver USB 2.0 Root Hub 5.1.2600.0
Sub Drivers usbhub.sys 5.1.2600.2180
Driver USB Root Hub 5.1.2600.2180

Sub Drivers usbuhci.sys 5.1.2600.2180
Sub Drivers usbui.dll 5.1.2600.2180
I am suspicious of the usbd.sys driver - being an older version. Further,
the USB 2.0 Root Hub is listed as NEC. I realize that this was the original
USB 2.0 driver, but this does not seem right. Online update of these drivers
does not work. The usb does work in 1.1 mode, but not usb 2.0 mode.

- Windows XP Setup >> Vista Beta 2Ver. 5231.051004-2120_x86_fre_--
This is more of an un-researched comment but I wanted to see if others are
having similar problems, and/or if I overlooked something. We've recently
attempted to deploy Vista onto a 15GB Partition
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3). WinXP SP2 is installed on partition 1,
with server 2003 SP1 on partition 2. It seems Vista decided to roll back
mid-way through the installation due to failure, and when the system rebooted
it mentioned that the "Boot Mgr missing."
I haven't done any in-depth research into this, So pardon my ignorance if I
have overlooked anything.

- Windows XP Security >> locked out of XP - third party utility ?on an WinXP laptop used by a sales rep, the system will apparently not let
anybody logon locally even though the passwords have all been reset to blank.
it appears that it will only allow logons if it is a member of some domain (
there are about 15 domains that this laptop had been connected to ). and,
further, the usernames appear to be case sensitive ( i thought that windows
was not case sensitive for usernames, only passords ? ) and if one does not
enter a password within a minute or so it will lock-out the account as well.
is this done by WinXP or a third party utility ? and, if so, what is the
utility and is there any way around this to allow users to logon locally ? it
is a laptop so i am not sure why it would be configured to only allow access
on a domain (??). tia ...

everything? Each time I install a new program, I'd like to know what the
easiest way to set it up is, placing access to the 2 adult accounts, but not

- Windows XP >> Freeware/shareware sw similar to Solarwinds IP Network Browser?Hello,
I like the Solarwinds IP Network Browser application (link below), but
I don't want to pay for the $145 standard solarwinds package to get
it. Does anyone know of similar software (just the IP Network
Browser) for which I can get at less cost?
I'm hoping to find something that can run across Windows, Linux, and
possibly Mac OS X and other unixes. However, I'll get by with just a
Windows version.
