- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Drives are not showing in My ComputerIn Explorer, none of my drives (C, D or removeable) show up in My Computer,
making it impossible to transfer files. When I plug in a removeable drive, it
shows up for a few seconds, then disappears. Other file management programs,
PowerDesk and xplorer2, have the same problem. Under My Computer, it only
lists Control Panel, My Documents, Shared Documents and Visitors Documents.
In PowerDesk, the drive bar shows no drives. The Go To Drive button shows all
the drives, but clicking on any of them does nothing.
My question: Why aren't my drives showing in Explorer and how do I fix this?
Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> Five-minute freeze after dial-up connectionHi,
What can have gone wrong with my dial-up setup that every time I dial my
ISP, and right after the connection is established, Windows XP freezes for
five minutes and remains absolutely unresponsive, except for the
displacement of the mouse cursor ?
For example, if I click on any given icon during the 5-minute freeze period,
the application is not launched. Not even the "Start" button responds to
clicks. After the 5-minute period elapsed, Windows unfreezes, everything
returns to normality and all applications (which I tried to launch during
the freeze period) are run at once, including *all* clicks on the "Start"
button.
I hope readers can figure out the problem from the previous description.
The anomaly started happening suddenly, and for no apparent reason, as I
didn't install or uninstall anything. I didn't make any configuration
changes either (e.g. TCP/IP properties, modem properties, etc.)
The system is virus and spyware/adware free. No third-parties programs are
running on the taskbar, just Windows' native programs and services. No
hardware was added/removed either. The modem driver is the latest. Windows
XP SP2 firewall is enabled, and so are the Windows updates via BITS.
At this point, and with no clues, I cannot myself spot the root of the
problem.
So, if someone knows why Windows goes through a 5-minute freeze right after
a modem connection to a PPP server is established, I will appreciate if
he/she lets me know the cause and the workaround, if exists.
Thank you.

- Windows XP >> Task ManagerHi there
When I open task manager or regedit or msconfig, they pop
up on the screen and then switch off before I can do
anything with them.
I have done virus checks and have used adaware to check
for spyware but both are clear.
This has happened quite a few times to me now and the
only thing that seems to put it right is a format and re-
install. System restore doesn't put it right.
Can anybody help.???
Thanks......

- Windows XP Network >> IE 6.0 locks upWe have an older Web application, which uses frames
extensively. IE 6.0 clients accessing application is
frequently freezing (IE 6.0 running on XP or Win 2K).
IE 5.5 clients never experience this lockup.
I ran a nestat on the locked up client, and 2 sockets are
stuck in the ESTABLISHED state. I believe the HTTP 1.1
spec limits the client browser to a max of 2 sockets.
Has anyone else run into this kind if problem with IE 6.0?
Any help or suggestions would definitely be appreciated.
Thanks – Jim

- Windows XP Basic >> Hard disk repartition questionI'm just about out of space in my XP op system partition and I'm hoping I
can expand that partition at the expense of the other partition/disk on that
hard drive, with a minimum of hassle.
Here's the situation:
* 20 gig hd with 2 partitions, one is C: with my o/s in it, the other is D:
with plenty of unused space.
* I use XP pro.
* I have Norton Systemworks 2003 installed.
Question: can I expand C: at the expense of D:? Is so, how? I can delete D:
if it's necessary.
Thanks for any relevant help

- Windows XP Support >> Driver installation after upgrading from Home to ProfessionalI had to upgrade a Dell Dimension 8200 from Home to Pro because another
similar machine running Pro was dying. The Upgrade seemed to go without a
hitch, but when I tried to add my Printer, I got a message that my Hardward
go not be installed. I downloaded the latest XP driver from the Printer site
(Canon), but I still got the same error message that the installation failed.
There is a KB page that talks about this kind of failure when upgrading to XP
from other Window versions that suggests recopying the Driver.cab from the XP
upgrade disc. I tried this too, but it didn't change things. When I try to
install the printer I get either an error 28 or 01. Any help? Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Client XP Pro rejecting passwordsI have an XP Pro client machine on a SBS 2003 LAN that is now rejecting all
passwords as invalid. It denys login on both LAN and Local Machine. This is
for users as well as administrator logins.
The client has been working well. Another tech has now removed the machine
from AD on the server.
How can I gain access to the local machine admin account to reset the
passwords?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> downloading interviews from recording deviceI have a Sony IC recorder (B25) and am able to get the interviews onto a hard
drive with clear resolution using an audio cable plugged into a high-input
jack on the CPU. But only into that ridiculous 60-second "Sound"
application! The interviews are hours long. How can I download them in real
time, using the audio cable, into a different application that doesn't
require a USB port for downloading? Right now i'm transferring them to
another device that has a USB port and the quality is absolutely horrendous.

- Windows XP Network >> Unable to contact your DHCP serverHello,
I get the error "unable to contact your DHCP server" when I do an ipconfig
/renew. I'll get a 169 ip address which I know is wrong. This used to work
for months and my laptop will work just fine. So it must be a problem with
my desktop. I have WinXP SP2.
The only thing I was doing was trying to add a router betwen my DSL modem
and my desktop. The router would not work. I used the installation disk
that came with the router. It just walked me through the same type of things
I would normally do via the 192.168.1.1 web site. The other thing that
happened is that I changed the password with my ISP (Verizon). But they said
that this was just for accessing mail on their web site.
So I don't know what happened.
I've installed a patch KB884020. And by the time you read this I've
probably used the WinsockFix application.
Please help - Its my Dad's PC, I'm leaving town in 2 days, and I don't want
him unable to access the internet because I tried to use a router.
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Support >> Restart Windows XP causes log offJust wondering if anybody else has had this problem and maybe knows the
answer. I installed Norton Systemworks 2005 Premier a couple of days ago.
Since then, every time I restart my computer (soft boot or turn off
completly), when Windows XP comes back, I have to log in to my account again.
Never had this problem before Norton. I also installed from the Norton disk
the new .NET framwork 1.1. Does anybody have a solution for this so I won't
have to log in everytime I start Windows?

Excerpts from Ed Foster's Gripelog -
===================
It's a depressing irony, but the creep who wrote the Blaster worm may
very well have done Microsoft a tremendous favor. After all, what
better argument could the folks in Redmond have been handed to do what
they've always wanted to do - namely, force users to accept automatic
Windows updates.
Earlier this week, the Washington Post quoted Mike Nash, Microsoft
corporate vice president, as saying the company is "looking very
seriously" at requiring at least home users to have their operating
system automatically updated when Microsoft sends out a fix. Another
Microsoft security official was quoted as saying that having home and
small business users automatically receive and install software fixes
"would help the safety of a lot more customers."
