- Windows XP Support >> Cannot Log in to windowsI turn the computer on and once it starts up it goes to the screen where
there is normally an icon to click for the user you wont to log in as.
However, there are no user names/icons on the screen it just says welcome and
has the "Turn Off Computer" in bottom corner. I tried to enter Safe Mode to
see if Administrator name appears as it says in the Windows XP manual... but
no user names appear there either. Is there any way I can login?

I am unable to download the recent update KB898461. I have got automatic

- Windows XP >> internet trackingI'm using xp pro fully updated/patched behind a firewall router and ZA latest
version
I have a question about how various web sites get ahold of your e-mail
address.
I don't visit porno sites, nor questionable sites, but still I get filth
spam, and generic spam, I don't use my valid e-mail address for posting
questions, nor answers, so how the blanky blank do these filth spammers get
my e-mail address??
some are broadcast to undisclosed receipent so that I understand, but not
the ones directed to me...
if I do not use my pc for a few days the filth dwindles down, but when I use
the internet for anything, I suddenly get swamped with it.

- Windows XP Network >> XP/2K ICS Problems from client (LAN works well)Hello,
I have a problem with ICS on Windows XP Professional on one computer
(server), and Windows 2000 Professional on another computer as a client.
My LAN is fully working, I can share folders between the two computers and
ping each others without any problem.
I'm using two Realtek 8139 10/100Mbps (PCI) Fast Ethernet cards with a
crossover cable. I've disabled the ICF on the server and enabled Simple
File Sharing. Both Windows' are fresh installations (installed two or three
weeks ago), I didn't make much changes on them, just the necessary drivers
(all WHQL) and the Service Packs (for the client I've only applied SP3 to
Windows 2000 due to problems I've read about 3D Studio Max and SP4)
- From the server, I can access to internet, using my ADSL connection.
- From the client, I can ping and tracert addresses on my LAN and internet
but I can't display any website, I can't check my mails or use FTP, I can't
read Usenet either.
More details about my configuration:
-------------------------------------------
LAN settings on the server (Windows XP):
Computer Name: net
Workgroup: LAN
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
I added my clients to %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts on the
server:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.3 workstation.MSHOME.NET
192.168.0.2 networks.MSHOME.NET
(192.168.0.2 is a Slackware installation I have on another partition of my
client computer, and I made sure that I didn't forget the two blank lines
and the end of the HOSTS file.)
Here is the contents of %systemroot%system32/drivers/etc/hosts.ics on the
server:
192.168.0.1 net.mshome.net # 2008 8 5 22 6 53 59 172
192.168.0.3 workstation.mshome.net # 2003 8 4 28 12 37 54 271
-------------------------------------------
LAN settings on the client (Windows 2000 Pro):
Computer name: workstation
Workgroup LAN
IP address: 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
DNS suffix for this connection: MSHOME.NET
-------------------------------------------
I've already tried, without success, to:
- set my ISP's DNS addresses to the "Preferred" and "Alternate DNS Server"
on the LAN connection on the client
- set the gateway (192.168.0.1) as the default gateway on the server as
well
- use "MSHOME" as a workgroup name
- disable some of my firewall rules (Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5)
- disable the firewall itself
- uninstall, physically remove and reinstall the NIC's on both machines
I've also noticed that exactly the same thing happens on Slackware, I can
ping, I do receive Echo Replies and I can tracert URLs, it resolves the
domain names into their IPs but I can't access to internet via any browser.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> XP Pro Workstations hanging when accessing files on Win2K ServerI have recently upgraded 10 workstations from Win 2K Pro
to XP Pro. The users are having a major problem when
they try to access their documents of shared folders on a
Win 2K Pro Server. An example would be when they try to
open a word 2k doc it hangs and takes a very long time to
open then is slow to react when they enter new data. Any
ideas to what would cause this slowdown? Thanks so much
for any advice.

- Windows XP Support >> Hard drive crash with no recovery diskMy HD suffered a mechanical failure and I cannot find the system recovery
disk (*&!). The PC had a manufacturer-installed Home edition of XP
(registration number is on the case) and I paid for the Pro upgrade (for
which I have the disks). I'm going to replace the HD and load everything
from scratch, but I don't have XP home disks. The system recovery disk for
my pc (HP pavilion 7955) is nowhere to be found on the web (or at HP)(*&!).
What are my best (least expensive) options for getting and loading an
authentic version of XP home on this new HD?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> user account login screenWhen Windows XP Home Edition first boots and shows the users login
screen is there any possible way to have the On-Screen Keyboard be
available at that time? Is there anywhere within the registry to
accomplish this? I'm a disabled user who has to rely on speech
recognition software, but I am able to use a mouse adequately enough to
use the On-Screen Keyboard for manual input when required. I would
like to be able to somehow input a password when Windows boots for more
security.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Setup >> SP Pro OEM Install ProblemsI have built a machine that I am attempting to install a new OEM XP pro (sp2)
on that stalls at the "Starting Windows" blue screen. I can load from the CD
using another computer and I can install 2000 on the PC in question. When I
load from another machine that uses the same chipset then install the CD in
to the desired machine I get to the Windows XP black screen, it fades and I
get no farther. When I load 2000 on to the desired machine everything works
okay. I have tried to use a XP pro preinstall CD but I get wierd IDE errors
that make no sense at all. I would like to get XP pro on this but it is
proving to be quite a challange,...any ideas?

Windows XP Network >> NetBEUI network-can't 'see' other Workgroup PCs, but Search finds
I'm just wondering if any of the recent MS security patches has affected my,
until lately, properly functioning NetBEUI home Workgroup network by making
NetBIOS over TCP/IP(--> Enabled) mandatory (or ?).
I have tested w & w/o my ZA Free 7.0.733.000 pers. s/w firewall (previous ZA
vers have never been an issue (as one would expect for NetBEUI), as I believe
they are only concerned with TCP/IP traffic).
Per PChuck's Network page, I have also examined:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Hidden -->
'Hidden' key does not exist
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa-restrictanonymous -->0
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters-RestrictNullSessAccess --> 'RestrictNullSessAccess' value does not exist
My Computer Browser service is set to Automatic but is typically not Started
when examined initially. FYI - the dependenices: Server & Workstation
services are Started and set to Automatic. Even if I manually Start the
Computer Browser service, NetBEUI connectivity is not restored.
Network details:
I'm using NetBEUI for an XP SP2/Win98 home network with Client for Microsoft
Networks and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks bound to NetBEUI
only.
I have QoS & TCP/IP installed with NetBIOS over TCP/IP-->Disabled (on
purpose).
My ADSL modem connects to a 10Mbps 4-port hub, then to a BEFW11S4 wireless-B
broadband router that has four 10/100 RJ-45 + WAN ports. Port 1 connects to
a 'cascaded' SMC7008BR broadband router (seven 10/100 RJ-45 + WAN ports)
using a CAT5 crossover cable to Port 7 (not the WAN). Both routers support
several PCs.
As my ISP allows 2 dynamic IPs, I connect my main workstation to the 4-port
hub directly using a 10Mbps NIC with only TCP/IP bound and a separate 100Mbps
NIC with only NetBEUI bound which connects to the SMC7008BR and my home
Workgroup network.
The other IP from my ISP goes to the BEFW11S4 and it distributes private IPs
to all other PCs on my home Workgroup network.

Kevin,
Any time things change, I'd look at a fresh copy of logs from "browstat status",
"ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each
computer.

Chuck ... thank you for spotting my thread and providing help ... I'm
actually just reading through your page you linked me to starting at 'Asking
For Help' ... I am familiar (in general) with how to perform the tasks you
outline and will get back to this thread as soon as I have worked my way
through and reviewed all of it for myself (likely tomm. am). May I ask,
should I post all four results here or use your direct e-mail?
Thanks, Kevin

Kevin,
YOu're here, so start here, and we'll see where it goes. None of the

Chuck ... I'm just not comfortable putting my IP & MAC addresses out there
in public - would you mind if I provide the ipconfig, netconfig & browstat
(having problems with this command) info directly to you in an e-mail? If
that's OK, then it's there by now.

Chuck ... just to update, I've re-sent my e-mail to you with browstat info
edited in ... I just wasn't reading your article carefully enough yesterday
morning and missed the mention of d/l'ing browstat before use of the commands
involving it.

Chuck ... after doing more reading at your excellent website, with respect to:
browstat status:
" ...
Browsing is NOT active on domain.
Master name cannot be determined from GetAdapterStatus."
I reviewed your mention of SMBs, inconsistent NetBT settings and personal
firewalls. While reviewing the personal firewalls page, I noticed you
recommend never disabling the Windows Firewall / ICS service ... I had done
just that ... without realizing it would break the Computer Browser service
(as no dependency on Windows Firewall / ICS service is listed for the
Computer Browser service).
I am back to full network functionality, thanks to your resource and, of
course, you coming along here to bring it to my attention.
Thanks again Chuck,
Kevin

I ping the server from the workstation. Any ideas as this one is baffling
me?

Hiding but I need more security. Also, Zipping and then

anyway I can keep my folder and put a secure pass lock on
it without additional software?

anyone smarter than me have a fix for this? Thanks in advance, Fran

- Windows XP Security >> WFXMSRVRHey,
Sorry if this is already a thread but my ADD and OCD just won't allow me to troll thru 194 different headings...
I am running XP home and just updated to SP2(beta). Seems quite nice, but one prob I am having is with the windows security center. Each time I go online (dial-up) I get a warning about "WFXMSRVR" of which I can ignore,stop,etc. What is this (excuse my ignorance) and what is the best way to deal with it?
PLEASE do me a big favor and just answer to my email address,... I'm not to good w/ newsgroups! Sorry! :>

firewire. On both PCs (one is 600 P3, other is 1.6 P4),
MM recognizes and controls the camera, but when I try to
preview or record, the camera acts like its cycling from
play to stop and the capture is beyond poor. Does anyone
have any suggestions?

Currently there are 9 places that appear when I click on the Send To fly out. None of the places are what I want. I would like to make a few of the places folders that I need to send the file to. Is there a way or place to remove and/or add places to the "SEND TO" Menu so that I don't need to drag and drop the file into a folder everytime I want to copy or move it ???
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Support >> CMI8738 6 channel surround sound problemsI recently purchased a C-media 6 channel surround sound card off ebay.
It didn't come with any drivers, so I downloaded these off the C-media
website (http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/driver). After installation,
the sound card works, but I only get audio in the front speakers
('audio out'). I get no sound in the rear speakers, or in the
subwoofer/centre speakers.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

- Windows XP Security >> Starting XP with user that is not in the Admin group.I can not start Windows XP with a user that is not in the administrators group. I have tired both the user and power user group. This started after I tried to change the security settings in the registry for a program that has to update a registry key when starting up. I do not have a back up. I create a user, joined them to the user group, went in to the registry, found the three entries for the program and added the user group with full control to those keys. This did not work so I went back to the three keys and removed the user group. Now when I try to log on using that user I get the start up sound but nothing on the desktop In task manager the only service I can stop is the taskmgr for the user I am trying to log on. I also can not start a tast through task manager like say Explorer. When using a user that is in the admin group everything works fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
