- Windows XP Setup >> transferring filesHi, new laptop with Windows XP Home....old desktop with Windows XP Pro.
Dilemma: want to transfer files and e-mails from old to new; but laptop did
not come with a XP disk, just had it built in. Other option is the Trasnfer
Wizard, which requires a floppy....laptop does not have a floppy drive. These
two computers have a wireless connection. Any ideas, please, please, please.
Thanks, Kelley

- Windows XP >> Win XP Logon RecoveryHello... a few months back I made a password recovery
disk incase I ever needed it. However, I don't like the
idea of keeping it anymore. Is there anyway I can
disable the popup that asks me if I forgot my password if
I type it in incorrectly? Also will changing the
password resolve the problem? Thanks,
Paul

- Windows XP Support >> Windows do not show on topWhen switching from window to window the selected window doesn't always show
on top. Sometimes I have to actually minimize each window until the one I
need is the one left maximized. This is really a pain when switching from
Internet Explorer to Excel to Quickbooks, etc. It is really starting to bug
me and takes up a ton of time when entering data from one app to another.
PLEASE HELP!

- Windows XP >> registry cleaner screwing up IE7Hi,
I just installed Abexo Registry Cleaner Free, and cleaned up my registry.
My computer is faster (very faster), however, it just chewed up IE's a...
I'd better not say it.
I just reset my browser and it is so annoying. It thinks I'm with AAPT when
we are with a different ISP. It still connects to the internet (thank god),
but I want to make sure that it didn't mess about with my computer. Is there
anyone who had this before?
Thank's in advance.

This is a new computer with XP. I've done other downloads on this computer and haven't had any problems. Is there a compatibility issue with XP and Shockwave, or could the problem be elsewhere? I sent the error report but so far nothing has happened.

- Windows XP Security >> Do not have Admin rights with only the admin account on XP ProThis has only just started to happen.
When accessing some programs on my XP Pro system I am
getting a "you do not have admin rights to open this
program" when I only have the default account running.
XP is fully updated and I have been running both a
firewall (not ZA) and uptodate and regularly used virus
scanner. I have not added or removed any software nore had
a crash when exiting XP.
Any ideas on how to get Admin rights on all files in one

- Windows XP Network >> Reset the router?I'm going to network my desktop with my laptop this weekend. After I
run my Cat 5 cable I've got to insert a Netgear Router into my system. The
router was given to me by a friend who has used it in the past. I'm not sure
if it still has his settings on it so should I press the reset button to get
it back to factory settings before I connect to my system? It is a Netgear
RP614.
I'll have to download the manual from Netgear's website.

- Windows XP >> Corrupt filter driver bsstor ???I loaded a program called Mymp3 pro everything seemed to install properly

Now my CD burner does not work properly. It shows up in "My Computer" ok and

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> ultimate "remove programs"
When I go into the "add/remove programs" section it has
several programs in there that are "unresponsive." That
is, I click on "Fisher-Price Big Action Construction" and
it says, "Unable to locate the login file 'c:\apps\kids
0801\DeIsL1.isu'. Uninstallation will not continue."
It's most probable that I did a lousy "uninstall by hand"
a few years ago, and the system still thinks it is
there. However, when I search for "Fisher" anywhere on
my computer it doesn't come up.
Is there something that tracks down these "add/remove
program" identifier files and then lets me get rid of
them? Or is there a better plan? Thank you.

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> ultimate "remove programs"
It is best to go to all programs and look for a uninstall
feature for the program you want to remove first. If
there is not one, then ADD/REMOVE is the way to go.
Sometimes if another program is using part of what your
uninstalling, it will not uninstall that portion. The
easiest way around this, would be to install the program
again, and then try to uninstall again, look for a
uninstall listing for it in all programs...Good luck.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Transferring collections to a different Windows UserHow do I transfer or copy my collections to another Windows User on the
same computer?
I just started using Windows Movie Maker. After working with it for awhile,
I decided to set up a separate Windows User, to use Movie Maker in.
Now I would like to move all the collections I've been working on to this
new user, but I can't figure out how. I tried copying the MEDIATAB1.DAT
file to the corresponding directory for the new user, but then when I start
Movie Maker as that user, it doesn't use that file. In fact, it deletes
that file and replaces it with a new one, with no collections.
- Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

- customize >> Windows explorer folder propertiesWhen I right click on a folder in windows explorer and
select the properties option, the size, numer of files
and subfolders displays 0. It used to display the size
and the contents of the folder. Can someone help me
figure out how to fix this option so that I can get
accurate values?
These are not system folders. It's occurring on all of
my folders. For example, in My Documents I have a folder
that I use to put various recipes into, that includes sub
folders for dishes, such as deserts, appetizers and the
like. I track the properties so that when the folder is
large enough I can burn it onto a cd.
Any ideas of why the properties will not display any
values?

Motherbaord - Soltek SL-75FRN2
Ram - DDR 400 512mb, one chip
Display card - Nv Geforce Fx5200
Im am having on my new custom made computer 3 weeks old.
It frequently crashes to blue screens sometimes in
reference to portcls.sys, nv4_mini.sys and some time
restarts. This is and i stress usually when i am playing
high spec games and or many applications are open. I have
been and had the mainboard and ram replaced to see if
that fixed it. I have also run a diagnostics test that
all passes except for one section called Stride6. All
windows files are fine and drivers are all up to date.
In device manager on thing is exclamation marked, the wdm

the video card? Hardware temperatures are all normal.
would compatibility be an issue? I have no idea what to
do. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Windows XP RepairAfter I changed the mother board etc on my computer I did a repair set up of
XP which seemed to work OK except that at one stage (nothing particular
happening) the screen went blue due to a stop situation and then a message
appeared:
Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disc
Followed by a count down to about 100 and then the computer rebooted and
everything was OK.
An error message was sent to Microsoft which said something about a paging
error in a non paging area and suggested an updated graphics driver. As the
driver was the latest NVidia driver I am somewhat perplexed as to what
actually happened. Any suggestions please?

- Windows XP Hardware >> JMicron Technology Corp - GIGABYTE GBB36X ControllerI downloaded a hardware update from the windows update website with the
result that my dvd-rw is no longer accessable (i.e. not visible in "my
computer"). I know for a fact that this occurs only when drivers are
installed on my machine that deal with raid configurations etc (my
motherboard doesn't support this (GA965-DS3)). I learnt this through trial
and error when installing the motherboard drivers that came on the driver cd
and had the same missing dvd-rw drive scenario occur. This is what happens
when companies cut corners and ship 1 driver cd for different model
motherboards i guess.
The solution to getting my dvd-rw back when I installed the motherboard cd
driver was simply to un-install it and everything worked fine. However I
can't seem to uninstall this infernal windows update hardware version of
Gigabyte's raid driver as upon reloading Windows it now detects my hardrive
as a new pieve of hardware and promptly re-installs the driver downloaded
through windows update. The other annoying thing is that now I have a icon in
the on my taskbar that represents a plug and play piece of hardware (my hard
drive) and when I go to eject it it of course says it can't...no duh!
So I ask 2 things:
1. How to I un-install this driver that exhibits alot of characteristics
akin to spyware.
2. Microsoft needs to be more careful which 3rd party companies it allows
into their update service.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Problem Saving A Edited ClipTrying to learn video terminology.
I edit a clip properly. The trim line is at the proper spot.
I split or cut and save the new clip.
I know that split and cut are 2 different actions.
Tried both-No luck.
What I don't understand is: When I get out of MM2 and then go
back, why does the original full clip show up instead of the edited
clip?
Example: Play clip to remove commerical. Commerical cut or split.
New clip saved. Get out of program and later restart. The
commerical is still there.
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) What happens to the clip I saved?
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Security >> Changing User AccountPosted this also in general
We have several computers in our office that were set up with Administrator
user accounts. I want to change the accounts to either a restricted user or
Power user. When I first tried changing to a restricted user I had a few
problems they were:
1. AutoCad would not open. Stated I needed to reinstall.
2. Could not open up a word document. Did not have rights to.. Just on one
machine, others were fine.
3. Half of the favorite links in Explorer did not work.
Changed user to a power user and it fixed problem 1. Have had to change user
back to administrator.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dwayne
