- Windows XP >> Problem with booting XP.Hi all
I had Win ME on my system until I upgraded it to XP.
Obviously this is a big improvement but when I boot XP, I
get the same error twice before being able to start it up
properly. The error is something like
system32/config/system is damaged - it also says to use
the Windows Setup disk to repair the file by
pressing 'r' at the first screen.
I have figured out these are instructions from the old ME
system - if I reboot with the old ME disk, the 'r' is
for 'recover' which I obviously don't want to do unless I
want to take a step back in time.
My XP disk doesn't offer an 'r' option at the first or
any other screen.
Hence why I think there is somethign in my booting up
sequence pointing to an ME file.
Any thoughts ?

- Windows XP Network >> Problems with File and Printer Sharing AccessI am having a problem with my network. The other computer cannot access my
computer because it says it requires a password to access the connection.
However, I do not have a password, and I tried all possible passwords it
could be just in case for some reason there was a password. Like I said
though, there is no password. I did use the Network Setup Wizard on the
other computer so it could connect to the same workgroup and get all the
support files. Please help. Thanx!

- Windows XP Hardware >> Intellipoint 5.0 a downgrade from 4.12I thought the newest Intellipoint software would be an
upgrade from the previous 4.12 version, but it is
terrible. One of the best features was removed. How in
the world are you supposed to assign keystrokes to the
buttons now? This was essential for many games. A big
disappointment.

- Windows XP >> Spooling problemHi,
There have an HP LaserJet 2200d which is shared on our LAN. Each time
clients send non-English documents to this printer, an error causes on the
spooler and the printing is canceled. There is no problem for English
documents. Also, when I manage the windows to send the document to the
printer without printing, everything is ok. There are enough memory for
spooling (at least 5GB). And restarting the print spool service in not
effective. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

- Windows XP Network >> Can't connect to hidden sharesI have a new XP workstation. I am trying to create a
drive mapping to D$ to the new XP machine from a W2K
machine. I have it setup in a workgroup and I have the

I have File and Print Sharing installed and I have

Does anyone have an idea what I am missing?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Write Delay FailureI was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem. I
have a Maxtor 160G SATA HD and I get write delay failure
error message shortly after booting up. I can see the
drive but 10 seconds later the drive disappears and the
write delay failure error is shown. I am able to see the
drive every time I reboot but it always disappears shortly
afterwards.
Anyone with suggestions as to why this is happening? I
have checked many forums and many users seem to have
different reasons why they occur. This was not the case
for about 3-4 months back. Just a month ago, I re-imaged
the pc and afterwards, it started to show up for no
apparent reason. I haven't done anything such as
disabling services. Everything is at default just as it
is after installing WinXP and update patches (including
SP1).
I am at a lost. Any help from anyone would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

- Windows XP Hardware >> ATTN: ALL SONY VAIO OWNERS WITH WIN XP OSMy Sony Vaio PCG-V505BX arrived yesterday. It comes with Win XP home
edition. I noticed that a few times, even when I turn the laptop on for
the first time last nite, the system would hang for no apparent reason.
Sometimes, the system even hangs at the Win XP splash screen when it's
restarting.
I formatted the HD and put on Win XP Pro. Same result but not as often.
I did a search on google and I noticed quite a handful of posts from
Vaio owners with Win XP having similar issues.
Has anyone tried contacting Sony to address the issue??? There seem to
be some sort of compatibility problems with Win XP. If you are reading
this, please post in this thread or send me an email.
As I type this, I am in the process of install Windows 2000 Pro on the
laptop. Hopefully I'll have better luck.

- Windows XP Support >> Need help with Max File Name LengthI am currently managing a small network and have run into a very interesting
problem. My users are very well organized and love long file names. I was
trying to xcopy some folders to the network when xcopy gave me the
insufficient memory error. I tracked this down to the fact when they created
a folder it was not over the 255 limit when mapped starting as the root, but
once you add the //servername to a UNC for copy the folder is outside of that
255 limit. A friend of mine told me I could restrict the max path or ma file
name length in the registry, but I have been unable to track that down.
Please help me out.

Windows XP >> pnp doesn't detect new devices
XP Pro. Attaching new devices doesn't engage pnp.
Installed XP pro over XP home. XP pro license is from an
old computer that I'm canabalizing for parts.
Have accessed Add/Remove Windows components and under
networking services and discovered the Univerasl Plug and
Play was not checked. Checked the component, have
rebooted, still can't connect new devices, i.e. Olympus
Digital camera, HP DeskJet 932C.
These devices connected and work fine on the old PC.
Any ideas? Should I reinstall XP Pro?

Windows XP >> pnp doesn't detect new devices
You don't want UPnp(universal plug-in-play). This service is actually the
one the FBI put the warning out about how easily it can be hacked. It was
one of ms's major boo boo's with xp. Uninstall or disable Upnp.
Now, how are you connecting this camera, Usb? If it's usb then go into your
bios and make sure the usb ports are enabled. If they are disabled in the
bios windows will not see devices plugged into them.

Windows XP >> pnp doesn't detect new devices
Uninstalled the Upnp. Bios showed USB emulation and
controller both on.
My guess is that something went wrong when upgrading XP.
Is reinstalling XP Pro an option?

- customize >> Is it OK to delete these reg keys?A registry cleaner (RegSeekerXP) found some keys in my registry in

For example:

Is it safe to delete these keys?
Does it make a difference to performance if the keys are left in the

When a user is logged into the machine it cant connect to any server

- Windows XP Network >> Connection not available in OE until AFTER run IEThe OE newsgroup suggested I try here. Everything they suggested had no
effect.
I have a totally fresh install of XP Home with Outlook Express/Internet
Explorer 6, all service packs, patches and updates applied, (NOT SP2,) yet I
still have a problem persisting since before the rebuild.
When I first come up and run OE I get a "no internet connection available"
error box, with a "Work Offline" or a "Try Again" button. If you hit the
TRY AGAIN button it tries read from my first email account and just hangs.
You have to stop it, then click the Send/Recv button up top to get it to
actually get your mail.
IF, however, you run IE first and let it load a page, THEN run OE, OE has no
problem finding the internet connection and proceeds normally, without the
hang and repeat Send/Recv action.
So for some reason OE is unable to find an internet connection unless IE has
already loaded a page. This also shows up from time to time when you've
been perusing pages with IE and then switch over to OE to send a message.
That same error box pops up and you have to go through the stop, Send/Recv
to get it to function.
The connection is a RoadRunner cable modem through a LinkSys router, and the
Windows 98 machines also connected the same way have no such problem.
Trying to access the email accounts with Mailwasher, for example, has no
accessing problems, so this is so this is OE and XP Home specific network
problem. Any ideas ?
THANKS,

I was trying to access the registry on XP remotely using
MBSAFU. It was returning an error message. So, a bit of
digging turns up a KB artical 153183, which I look at and
check out.
Now, following the suggestions didnt work BUT, setting my
own security permissions on the registry key *sort of*
did:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Wi
nreg
What I would have expected was for the local admin group
to give me permission to this key. It didnt. Nor did
adding my domain account. What did work was adding the
empty local user group.........!!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Any bright ideas, cause I think this reeks of
MS "Security" Bugdom.
