- Windows XP Network >> Network Path Not foundI had a power outage the other night. My system came back up but now I am no
longer able to connect to any of my shares on any computer. I receive the
"Network Path not found" error.
From my other systems I can access the shares on the bad computer with no
problems.
Here is what I have done.
1. Made sure no firewall(s) were running.
2. Ping the other machines with no problem, name lookup also works
3. uninstalled the network card replaced it with another card.
4. changed the workgroup name and IP addresses of each computer
5. reinstalled sp2.
6. uninstalled both Microsoft client and file and printshare then
reinstalled.
I can do everything dealing with the network except access windows shares on
this computer. Any help would be great. I would like to fix this rather
than blow the system away and reinstall clean.
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> SP2 won't install..Hi there,
I've got a Dell machine here and tried to do the repair install with the
original CD Rom install disk and it completed and now it's back to SP1.
I went to install SP2 on it and it failed to complete it due to permissions
denied when backing up the registry. I took ownership under "administrator"
of all the keys in the registry and it still won't complete. Then I just
kept hitting "ignore" when informing me of the permissions denied in backing
up the registry and it went along a lot further, but when it came almost to
the end of install SP2 it all of a sudden came up with a permission denied
in installing the SP2.
So, I've failed miserably in fixing this one....
What should I do?
Thanks,
Gordon

- Windows XP Security >> XP Home, userpasswords2 and Power Users - deadly combinationI posted this question on the end of an old thread - didn't check the date first. As it's not going to get seen there, I'm going to repost, please forgive the double-post.
I'm used to XP Pro but am currently on a 'loaner' computer while mine is in the shop. I didn't realize there was a limitation in XPHome with Power users. I renamed and changed my account to a power user in Userpasswords2, which Home doesn't support. What this means is I can ctrl+alt+del twice and type in the username and password, but my account is no longer shown on the Welcome screen, or in any userpasswords control applet. Any ideas how to set this account back to administrator?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Support >> complicated multiple file rename problemHi.
I have thousands of files with a name format like:
name-key1-key2.ext
I use the dos ren command like this:
ren *-key2.ext *-newkey2.ext and it works a treat.
Thing is, now I want to complete remove key2 from the filename
altogether and just be left with filenames like:
name-key1.ext.
I try doing stuff like:
ren *-key2.ext *.ext
but it doesn't make any change at all.
My greatest frustration with this is that only 3 weeks ago I had the
same problem and managed to sort it out by fumbling around with many
different attempts at slightly different syntaxes. But it was really
late and I was exhausted and I was thinking I'd never need it again.
And now, here I am needing it again, and I can't remember and I didn't
document it.
Any help or answers will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have checked that the taskbar has hide inactive icons
checked, but for some reason the icons in my system tray
have stopped auto hiding when inactive, the little arrow
does not appear and the icons refuse to hide.
Any suggestions what could be causing this? I am running

Are there any of these Tray icons that have the Always Show setting? To the right of the Hide inactive icons setting is a button titled Customize. Click it to see these Always Show settings, if there are any at all

- Windows XP Basic >> A newbie question: activating XPGreetings,
I'm new to Windows - have been using Mac for many years. In order to run
some of the sofware I need for my work I bought an used PC, NetVista by
IBM, where the terminal and system is made as one unit. It had Windows
XP installed in it. Surprisingly, the system turned out to be very
stable, with no problems and crashes. But I guess it's a human nature to
create problems where there aren't any...
Each time upon startup I was getting a message "new upgrade is ready for
your computer." First I was ignoring it, but then one not so fine day I
thought, "what the heck, let's do update and see what happens." What
actually happened is that my computer downloaded Service Pack 2 and then
asked me to activate the Windows. When I pressed the activation, it
informed me that my product code had been used by another computer and I
need to pay $240 for activation. I paid for this computer much less
than that and, besides, I'm planning to buy a brand new system in a
couple of months.
So what should I do now? Before I installed the Service Pack 2 it never
asked for any activation. Now it gave me 30 days to activate. From
reading other posts in this group I realize that after 30 days my system
will stop working. Should I try to restore the system to previous state
by unistalling SP2? I just need this computer for a couple of more
months before I buy a new one. One more thing: when I bought it, I
bought it "as is" (at office liquidation sale) - with no disks or
instructions. It never occured to me that my OS might by pirated - it
was seemly respectable office, after all. I haven't talked yet to
Microsoft customer service yet.
Thank you in advance for any help and advice.

- Windows XP Security >> XP SP2 blocks PDF filesEver since installing SP2 over Win XP Pro I can no longer
open locally-stored PDF files in my browser. For example,
if I create an HTML document and link to a PDF file on my
hard drive, it will not open and instead I get a security
warning and an image placeholder that displays in the
upper left corner. This occurs even though I select the
option to "allow blocked content" when prompted by the
Information Bar.
What's strange is that SP2 does allow me to launch Acrobat
and open PDF files across the Internet, but not those
stored locally on my hard drive.
A solution would be greatly appreciated.

administrator.goldberg.ooo, all users, all users.windows, etc. Some are
localservice.nt authority.xxx, networkservice.nt authority.xxx, etc.
I would like to know which ones I can consolidate, and how do I know which
is the "main" one my computer is using so after consolidation I can delete
the other folders.
Some of the sub-folders are Application Data, Cookies, Desktop, etc but the
sub-folders are not the same in each folders, i.e. not all have "application
data".
Thanks!!
