- Windows XP >> Corrupt Jet DataBase 4.0 engineI use the MediaSource Software that came with my Soundcard (See Below).
This is used to access my music files. It uses the Jet Database engine to
catalogue these files. After a Repair install of my OS, I can no longer
access these files through Media Source. Whenever I try to, I am told that
the Jet Database 4.0 engine has been corrupted and that I should download
and run the latest incarnation of it, which is 4.0 SP8. I have done this,
but the error still persists.
How do I fix the Jet Database Engine?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Setup >> Customizing default user configurationI am preparing a base image of a system for deployment and
I would like to configure what a new user is created
with. I would like to set a default wallpaper for all new
users and I would like to prevent some of the items on the
start menu and desktop from being created. I imagine
there is a .inf file or something were these defaults are
set but I don't know were it is. Please help I have 60
machines to push out and anything I can get set for all
users would help tremendoulsly.
Thank you very much.

- Windows XP Support >> XP Pro blank screenComputer boots up to a blank screen; will boot in safe mode. The system
restore doesn't work. Sometimes the boot with network works, but sometimes
not or network will stop working in IE. I can't get a normal boot.
I've read all the other posts about this, but I don't know what to do next.
Can someone help an idiot?

- Windows XP Setup >> Software cannot read the hard driveA problem suddenly occurred. I use AtBackup to save files. Now when I
run it I get a runtime error,
c:\Program Files\OnLineBackup\OnlineBackup.shl.
Tech support said the reason is that the OnlineBackup cannot read from
the hard drive. Yet otherwise I can read all my files, using Windows
Explorer or anything else.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

- Windows XP >> Windows update workaround?I am having a real problem with Internet Explorer -- basically, it won't
work -- and have been forced to use another browser. I can workaround those
sites that only work well in Internet Explorer simply by using my wife's
computer for them.
However, I am concerned that this will mean I can no longer update Windows
on my computer. As you know, if you go to the windowsupdate site using
another browser, it tells you to use IE. Does anyone know if I can work
around this, perhaps by FTP or something?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Setup >> installing XP from boot disks****Bastet please dont bother replying if you aret going
to help solve the issue raised, thanks so********
Hi
I am having trouble installing a fresh copy of xp with the
boot disk program. every time on either the 2nd or third
disk an error comes up. I have tried different disks etc
but still hte same. It has an error code of 7 or 512.
I have looked in the knowledge base and it says about
error code 7 but the resolution does not work.
The only way i can now install xp is by installing windows
then running an upgrade which surely cant be good.
Any ideas?
The pc is 5oomhz with 512mb RAM so should be iup to the
job but obviously not the most new of models!!

- Windows XP Setup >> pro/100 nic driver and imagingIssue----I have a Gateway that includes an Intel pro/100
VE integrated Nic. After cloning image to this pc,
running Sysprep, I am then prompted to install the
driver.
Background info----We have 8 different models of
computers we that we use in our enterprise. Compaq and
Gateway. I have created one xp pro image, I use Norton
Ghost cloning software, and I have configured Sysprep so
I can load that image onto all hardware models. I have
tried locating the drivers in various places. I have a
drivers folder in sysprep, and also have tried using
drivers folder on root of c: in the source image. In
sysprep, I have pointed the oempnpdriverspath to these 2
locations. Also have added the install path to
devicepath in registry. All drivers load fine during
sysprep's run, except for one. I have a Gateway that
includes an Intel pro/100 VE Nic. After cloning to this
pc, running Sysprep, I am then prompted to install the
driver. At this point....If I point to the path listed in
Sysprep and the registry, the driver loads fine. Why
won't it find this particular driver? It's the only one
that won't load.
Any help is appreciated.......thanks

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> What file type should I use?I have read several topics on this sbject including the very informative
articles by Graham Hughes but I'm still confused.
I'm using a Desktop with 250GB HD, 1GB Memory, DVD Burner & firewire cable.
If I capture using DV-AVI and check the box for "Create Clips when Video
finishes" the system doesn't break the file into clips as it does when I
select WMV. The unedited tape is about 15 min. to 20 min. long. After
editing it will be less than 10 minutes. What am I doing Wrong?
Another question. Should I click on the "Stop Capture" button when the
entire tape is captured? If I don't the tape appears to continue running
till the end.
Your help will be appreciated

- Windows XP Support >> Questionable registry entriesI was checking the registry this morning (I know enough to not touch
anything, but was looking for when my keyboard was installed - another
question later) and noticed some website visits from the past and text
messages I've sent to various email/phone addresses. Just wondering why
they're sitting in the registry and if there's any way outside of the
registry to delete those types of entries. They're not apparently dubious,
so I'm curious. As an example, I was looking for "Realdigital" and in that
same file(?) was the start of a note I sent to my daughter a while back
(perhaps sent on the same day as I installed the keyboard). If there's no
other way to delete these types of entries, I'll obviously leave them alone,
but I'm wondering why they're there. Thanks for your help.

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Update - 0x8007041D and 0x8024d007I just reformatted my system and installed a fresh copy of Win XP Pro - SP2.
This is the same disc I've used all the time with no troubles. The very
first thing I do is install my window's updates and then my anti-virus
software. When I go to Window's Update to begin my updates it starts to
install their tool, gets to 100% registered and gives me the following
error:
[Error number: 0x8007041D]
The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you
are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the
problem.
I'm like, "Wow, that's odd.. ok, let's reinstall from scratch again." So I
do another full format and reinstall to find the same issue. So I go look
at services.msc and see that the automatic update service is set to
automatica but won't start. I click on start and get the following error:
Could not start the Automatic Updates service on Local Computer.
Error 0x8024d007: 0x8024d007
Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on? I need to get my pc
updated. :)
Cordially,
JD Smith

Windows XP >> hotfix
Some of the Hotfixes (Mostly security updates) do not have an uninstall
feature, these will not appear in the Add and Remove list. If a Hotfix does
appear in the Add and Remove list then it can be uninstalled just like any
other program.
If you uninstall the Hotfix, you will lose the benefits of that patch. This
should only be done if you can determine that you are experiencing negative
effects from the particular Hotfix.
If you simply do not want them to appear in the Add and Remove list and you
are sure that you will not need the uninstall option, you can remove items
from that list by using a registry tweak.

hotfixes are those patches that are downloaded when you run Windows Update.

However, this program ends prematurely with an error:

- Windows XP Support >> Registry & Java problems - related?Hey Folks,
My XP system won't remember email logins and passwords. Reading around the
Web it's pertty obvious this is a registry problem. I've also started
experiencing javascript problems in Explorer. I tried downloading Firefox
same problem. Go into MapQuest and the new java-powered maps won't display at
all, but I can bring them up without problem on my other machines. I see
similar problems on other pages.
My question. Are the two problems related?
If yes:
Is there a decent public domain tool for repairing the registry? I hate
the idea of giving Norton $60 to repair this problem and there's no tool
within XP (that I know of) for fixing this most common Windows problem.
If they're unrelated:
How to I reinstall Javascript on my machine?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> WMM Freeze while importing files from my computerI have several files on my computer which I imported into Windows Movie
Maker. However, there were two video files which could not be imported. When
I click to import either one, it shows the progress bar filling, but then
stops at the same point each time (23% on one and 48% on the other).
When it stops, I click cancel but nothing happens. I have to close WMM from
the task manager.
It also stops at the same point when I try to convert thier formats with
other programs. However, when I try to watch the video files, they work fine.
Is there any way around this problem?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Files not visable after copying to CDMy mother-in-law is having problems with her CD-R. I am
trying to troubleshoot this long distance but having no
luck. She copies photos (using WIN-XP's copy) to the CD-R
and clicks the write to cd option to write them from the
temp files to the actual CD. She then clicks on the cd-
rom to view the pictures and there is nothing there, the
window is completly blank. She has sent me a couple of
the cd's that have this problem and my computer see's the
pictures without problems. She can read files on a
purchased CD without problems.
I am completely stumped as to how to get it working
again. after going through multiple pages of the
newsgroup I have tried the MS patch that fixes most of the
problems with CD-burning (no change) and I have also
tried to delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters out of
some key in the registry, but they never existed in the
first place.

- Windows XP Support >> change extensionsI have a small problem, I need to change the extensions in a entire sub
directory,
all the files are called something.aac.mp3.
and winamp knows how to play an mp3 file, and it also knows how to play a
.aac file but the extension .aac.mp3. doesn't ring a bell
I can rename the file in something.aac and then there is no problem at all
but to rename a few hundred files by hand is a wee bit tedious
If anyone could tell me if there is a small progran that could do the trick
for me I'd be much obliged
kind regards Hans

- Windows XP >> System Time/Date falls behindRunning a Windows XP Home system and have noticed only
recently that the System Date/Time falls behind
consisstently. In fact, we lose about 45-50 minutes from
11:00am until 11:00 am the next day. We do have the
standard Network Time Update on and this seems to make no
difference even if we synch and turn it off. I will
check the internal battery on the machine but think this
is not the problem.
We are "up to date" on all updates from Microsoft. I
think this has occured since we installed updates around
end of August '03. Anyone else have this or know the
cause/solution?
TIA
