- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Accidentally deleted Movie Maker applicationWhile i was cleaning up my desktop, I accidentally deleted my Moive Maker
application, thinking it was just the shortcut. I tried to recover it but the
file is already gone. I would go to tech support but I'm on vacation and my
product ID is at home.
Is there any way I can get another copy of the application?

- Windows XP Network >> LAN anomaly?I am having trouble sharing folders/files between two machines,
networked together via a router.
Both are WXP PRO SP2.
On machine 2, MyNetworkNeighborhood allows me to display & change
machine 1's C drive and its folders/files.
On machine 1, Machine 2's content is not displayed at all under
machine1's MyNetworkNeighborhood.
I have looked long & hard, but find no reason for this to be
happening. But what I have discovered is that I can 'MAP' a drive
letter on machine 1 to the C drive on machine 2, and access & change
machine 2's folders/files that way.
So why is it that I can access machine 2's folders/files on machine 1
by using its map function, but not through its MyNetworkNeighborhood?
I'm confused. Can anyone suggest where I might look to solve this
problem?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Unable to start programsI am operating with windows xp. Suddenly I am unable to
start any executable programs. Anything that uses a .exe
command will not work. I receive message saying it cannot
find the file and to check its path (which I have). I
have done the following:
-I have the newest patches available for windows
-I ran an online virus scan and found one problem file
which was..
"bkdr optixpro.13" located in "windows/system
32/mpldfg.exe"
it was unable to clean this file and recommended it be
deleted which I did.
-I checked the knowledge database in windows and found
what appeared to be a similar problem which was
attributed to the "Pretty Park" virus.
-I did a file search for any of the suspect files in that
virus and found none.
-I also booted with Norton antivirus 2003 and did a virus
scan that way.....results were negative. I cannot load
the programs since the setup uses an .exe file.
HELP....any help would be appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Still a problem with files transfer...I am trying to use the files and settings transfer wizard, and
on the new computer I get the following message:
"The location that you specified does not contain stored information. Please
type a valid folder path into the edit box.
If you entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in

I can see the collected data with my eyes, so why does not the new pc?
I followed the steps as instructed, so what am I doing wrong? Any help would
be great.
Thank you.

- Windows XP Hardware >> HUGE Problem! Please help!A few days ago, my PC gave me a shutting down prompt and it turns itself
off.
Now, as long as the PC is plugged into the wall, my PC will boot up by
itself, starts up for 3 seconds and then shuts itself off. I was unable
to start the PC back up manually.
Then after 15 seconds, and it starts booting up by itself for a few
seconds and shuts off again. This keeps happening as long as it's
plugged in. I unplugged it for a few hours, but as soon as I plugged it
back in, it started booting up by itself again and shutting back down
continuously.
I replaced the power supply today, but nothing has changed. It is still
giving me the same symptoms.
Can anyone help me?

- Windows XP Update >> Updates were unable to be successfully installedMy computer is set to receive automatic updates, but I noticed a gold color
shield within my system tray indicating that "Updates are ready for your
computer" for Office 2003 Service Pack 2.
The updates go through the entire download, but in the end a blue pop-up
appears stating "Updates were unable to be successfully installed" indicating
that "The following updates were not installed: Office 2003 Service Pack 2".
I have used the Microsoft Update link on my computer and downloaded the
updates from the Updates page to no avail ... it fails to install.
Any solutions?

- Windows XP Support >> Windows XP Registration/Activation QuestionA roomate and I shared a compter while we were in school. He bought all the
hardware and I bought all the software, with the understanding that when we
went our separate ways, we would each keep what we had paid for.
I can't get a hold of him now, but I'm sure he has the computer setup &
running the copy of windows xp I bought. I am thinking about buying my own
computer, but I'd like to reinstall XP over Vista. I have the original discs
and everything.
Obviously Microsoft will not let 2 copies of the same program be activated &
registered. My question is, what will happen if I install and try to activate
XP. HOw will it authenticate that I am the disc holder? Will he (roomate) get
a message saying his copy is no longer valid? Do I need to dig up a number
for him, so I can contact him and tell him to 'erase' his copy somehow? What
is the process?
Thankyou so much for your help!

- Windows XP >> Minimizing Windows to the task barAll of a sudden and apparently for no reason, my open windows do not minimise
to the task bar. Instead, they "dissapear" Of course they are still active
and can be restored via the task manager. However, this is very inconvenient
and irregular. I have not been able to find a solution how to restore proper
operation of the minimise to task bar function.
Can anyone help?

- Windows XP Update >> Update software did not update successfullyThe Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some
suggestions to help you proceed:
You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust Certificate. To
allow the Windows Update site software to install, click Yes when presented
with the Security Warning dialog box.
Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To install the
updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer security must
be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and
initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled.
-----------
I TRIED ALL OF THE ABOVE, STILL WON`T LOAD SOFTWARE TO ALLOW UPDATES- ANY
SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE?

- Windows XP Support >> Windows Control PanelMy Windows Control Panel on Windows XP MCE either doesn't load at all or
loads and then when you go through the sequence of menus freezes (for example
on User Accounts), occasionally it gets through it all but the icons and

anyone else had this problem or does anyone know of a solution?

- Windows XP >> Display properties problemWhere is the display properties information stored. Is it an inf file?
Something is really hosed and I can't seem to fix it by deleting the Matrox
drivers.
I changed the font size from the default 96 dpi to 115% and the resolution
changed to some ungodly low number where it's impossible to see the entire
display properties window on the screen. Not being able to see whole window
I cannot make changes.
When the display gets like that is there some other way to make changes.
The only way I could figure was to do a repair install. Then I tried to
change the font dpi again and the resolution once again changed to some very
low number just as before.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Network devices in registry that do not show up in Devices or My Network PlaceI was changing the IP on my one and only NIC, and XP prompted that the IP
was already assigned to another device! Sure enough, there was another
device with that IP in my registry in current control set - but it WON'T let
me delete it!! It is probably a left over from another NIC I had installed
for testing/troubleshooting. When it asked if I wanted to change the IP, I
said no, and it works fine, but how do I get rid of these phantom devices?
(this is not the first time I have seen this - seems to be a particular
problem with NICs)

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Extending Basic Volume....Help RequestedThis would seem like it should be so simple to do, but I have yet to figure
out how to do it.
I just purchased a Thinkpad R51 laptop that was a student laptop configured
for university use. It's has a 40 GB hard drive, which was partitioned into
two parts: 14 GB Basic partition (C: drive with the XP OS) and a 24 GB
partition (D: drive with university stuff on it). Maybe I acted too rash,
but I went into the administrative tools and deleted the partitioned D:
drive and it now shows up as contiguous unallocated space. I expected I
would be able to use XP admin tools to just extend the C: drive into the
unallocated space making one partition over the whole drive. However, when I
used the command utility diskpart to select the volume and then use the
extend command, the operarion fails with:
Diskpart failed to extend the volume. Please make sure the volume is valid
for extending.
Upon further research it appears I can't use the diskpart tool to extend a
system or boot volume. Isn't there an easy way (or at this point even a
difficult way) to accomplish this? I just want one basic partition allocated
over all the space on the disk that I can label as C: with documents,
programs, and OS. (I only have 300MB left on C - running out of space fast.)
Thanks for any assistance with this.
