- Windows XP Network >> XP slow to discover DNS server after reboot or LAN interruptionI have a network consisting of a Linux firewall machine, and a Windows
XP Professional laptop.
Every time I reboot the laptop, or momentarily disconnect the LAN
connector from it, I have to wait 40 seconds for the first DNS query.
For instance, if I do "ping yahoo.com" from the command line, it takes
40 seconds to resolve the address. During this time, if I do "ping
216.109.112.135" (which is yahoo's IP address) the pings are all
returned instantly. So I believe this is a DNS server discovery issue.
After the first DNS query completes, subsequent queries work fine with
no delays. But each time I reboot or disrupt the LAN connection I have
wait 40 seconds for the first DNS query. I discovered this also occurs
each time I do "ipconfig /flushdns".
My laptop TCPIP properties define the laptop IP address (no DHCP) and
two DNS server addreses. Both of those servers are fine. I tried
turning off NETBIOS but it made no difference.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Why does it take so
long to discover the DNS server or resolve the name the first time?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Setup >> Making progress, but can't get rid of dual bootIf you saw my post from yesterday, I now have C: D: E: with XP home on C: and
(looks like) a remnant on D: which causes me to get 2 WinXP home boot options.
Booting the first, everything's fine. Booting the second gives me a
corruption error.
I have "formatted" d: and there are no files on it except for a hidden
"System volume Folder" with (apparently) nothing in it.
Anyway, I'd like to get rid of the second boot option. How do I do that?
Also, can I blow away that "system volume folder" on D:? How?
Thanks for everything,
Rob

- Windows XP Setup >> Not Enoug space on Hard DiskHi wondering if anyone can help.My pc is running slower and slower and i
think its due to the fact that i only have 9% of free space left on my hard
disk.I do have a lot of music files ( 11.6gb ) and i was wondering if there
is anything i can do to compress these files to make more space, and if i
can, will it harm those files, and, folders?If not, is it a case that I have
to go out and buy a larger memory and if i do, is it expensive and is it
difficult to do. I have 37.27gb of memory and like i said i only have 9% free
and to run the de,fragmentiser its telling me i need at least 15%.If this has
made sense to anyone...please please help.
Thank you

Windows XP Support >> Partition or not
My F Drive is an external HD. Prior to my recent crash I'd stored My
Mp3Music,
My Familyphotos etc on there, together with my WinXP NTbackup.
I couldnt get my backup to restore and fouled up.
The nice techie who got me up and running again recommended I buy
Norton Ghost 9
for my future monthly incremental backups, so I did.
I'm now ready to do the first backup (or copy).
Should I have a Partition on my External Drive to segregate the Backup
from my routine store of music and photos as I start to build a new
collection.
If I do oneclick backup of everything this first time I'm unsure
whether next month when I do an incremental backup do I include this
months first backup or just everything else. The pdf userguide is too
technical for me to get to grips with.
Thanks for any help

Windows XP Support >> Partition or not
I dont use Ghost..I use True Image but I am assuming they are pretty close.
The object is to create an "image" of your HD onto another HD.
This Imaged HD would then replace the damaged original drive and you would
be up and running in minutes.
The other way is to create an Image file on the External HD in a seperate
partition than your saved files.This image file can be overwritten by
picking a new image not incremental with the same name.Incremental adds
files to the partition and you will eventually run out of room.
True Image inserts a command in the start up sequence that lets you access
it without XP being loaded...does Ghost do that ?? or at least a start up
floppy....so that when that original HD goes down or XP wont start..you can
access that image files and restore.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Files and settings transfer wizard problem? Please help me!Hi,
I saved my OE messages and settings using the XP files and settings transfer
wizard so I can put it back on my laptop after a XP clean install! That was
last night and I successfully saved the settings on 1GB SD card. I am
trying to transfer it to the Laptop and it asks my to insert disk #1, when I
click ok it says that this is not the correct disk! The backed up data are
on the SD card which is a file called "USMT2IMG"!
I used this wizard many times in the past but I always saved my stuff on a
hard drive partition and never had a problem with it! This time I used the
SD card but that is not working! Please help me get my data back, please!
The stuff I had on it is really hard to replace and would cost me a lot,
possible my job! Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Security >> Installation of McAfee VirusScan ASaPHi people,
I have the following problem:
I want to install McAfee VirusScan ASaP to a huge number
of workstations running Windows 2000 Professional and
Windows XP. These workstations are not members of any
domain and connect to the network using a VPN connection.
The installation of McAfee VirusScan ASaP requires local
administrator rights. Since none of the users have these
rights I would have to visit al these people to perform
the installation.
I'm looking for a solution to perform some sort of
installation using a single file that they would have to
download and execute to perform the installation. Would
it be possibe to give the user local admin rights just
for the time needed to perform this installation?
Does anyone have an idea to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bernard.

- Windows XP >> Icons dissappear from notification taskbarI am running XP Home with all the latest updates and 500 MB ram.
At times, icons I depend on being there disappear from the notification area
of my taskbar and the only way to restore them is too reboot. This seems to
occur after I have been running the PC for a long time without rebooting,
especially if I have many webpages minimized.
Is this a known bug, memory problem or something else. Can I avoid it
somehow?

- Windows XP >> trouble with port 110I was hoping that someone could help me. I have an e-
mail account that is not working in outlook express. I
have windows xp professional with the service pack 1
loaded. The account name is mark@thegehrets.com. I get
an error message of "The connection to the server has
failed. Account: 'mail.hostsave.com',
Server: 'mail.hostsave.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E" I know that the e-mail account works because
I can get the e-mails on another pc and I have family
that have the same type of account and theres all works.
I tried to troubleshoot the problem with all of the
things that microsoft had said to try on there web page
but none of it worked ex. I tried telnet and I could not
connect. Microsoft said to uninstall the tcp/ip's and
then let windows reload them. I can not delete them in
windows xp. Does anyone know what else I can try to fix
this? I need to know how to get that port umblocked, but
I can not figure out what is blocking it and not allowing
me to use port 110. can anyone help?
Thanks

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> svchost & kernel32 performance problemsMy boss tells me that his PC suffers performance problems after it has
been in use for a while. He believe the problem occurs when he gives
his username and password to bypass the screensaver (windows login).
Analysis so far shows that svchost.exe is using 60-70-80% of processor
time even though no user created tasks are running.
Analysis of the services svchost is launching does not give any leads.
They are all good standard services (e.g. HP Printer Driver, Apple
iTunes (its his own machine) and standard windows services).
Expanding the processes owned by the svchost suggests that kernel32 is
hogging the processor time - Any ideas what could be attached to this?
Killing the kernel32 processes returns the PC to normal with no
obvious adverse effects.
The machine has been scanned for viruses and also for spyware. Nothing
found. The machine has all windows critical patches loaded.
I wanted to rebuild the machine but the boss does not want to do this
because he believes the hours it will cost him in resetting his
machine to his preferred spec are more expensive than the hours it
will cost me to find the cause! (he's probably right).
Is there a way that I can get more detail on what kernel32 is doing at
the time it consumes cpu cycles?
Any help gratefully received.

- Windows XP >> Crashes and screen freezes?I'm using an Amd X2 cpu with a hitachi hard drive 2gb ddr2 ram. I'm getting
screen freezes and program crashes regular? If i leave the pc on and walk
away 9 times out of ten when i come back the screen has frozen and the mouse
is stuck forcing me to reboot? Is it possible these problems would be
occuring due to my last installation which went bad, when I tried to fix that
installation i used the fixboot command in recovery console could this
command have altered my pc's stability? I'm finding alot more crashes on this
AMD system compared to previous intel cpu's? Is anyone experiencing the same
problems? Is it possible I need a better heatsink? Maybe I should leave the
screen saver switched on to keep the pc thinking? Any advice most welcome.

- Windows XP Security >> Scripting administration. RPC Unavailable.Hi again.
I am writing a remote administration script and have run into a little
problem where I could use some help.
Error message: "SWbemLocator: The RPC server is unavailable."
I am using WBEMScripting.SWBEMLocator to connect to computers across several
subnets and domain/non-domain computers (NT/XP).
Computers:
C1 - domain\computer1 (subnet_1) XP SP2
C2 - domain\computer2 (subnet_1) XP SP2
C3 - domain\computer3 (subnet_2) XP SP2
I can connect and run script from C2 against C1 but I cannot run it from C3
against C1 (get RPC error). All computers have firewall enabled but i have
used gpedit to set the exception to remote administration IP-s of C2 and C3
(both domain and standard settings). Also all computers have WMI and RPC
services running.
As I see it either the problem is on machine C3 where I am missing some
settings or C1 needs some RPC settings tweeked. Is there a need to specify
IP-s to RPC if the subnet is different? Also I am using local administrator
accounts to log on to the computers as the script has to work across several
domain/non-domains/subnets.
The script I am using:
--------------------------------
compname = "Cad13"
Set locator = CreateObject("WBEMScripting.SWBEMLocator")
Set objWMIService = locator.ConnectServer(compname, "root/cimv2", _
"Cad13\accountname", "password")
objWMIService.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3
--------------------------------
Sry for cross posting with the general thread.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thank you,

- Windows XP Hardware >> How to update audio driverHi,
I recently revived an old computer by reloading the operating system.
The only missing link is the sound. I can see the creative audigy
processor and Legacy Audio Driver under hardware, but no audio device
is found. I tried to update the driver and now I see "EMU10KxAudio."
I do not think this is what I need. I used to have a CD for
Soundblaster, but of course, I cannot locate it now. Can I purchase
this somewhere?
My computer is probably four years old and is a HP Pavillion 554e. I
could trash this computer, but have been curious in solving computer
issues and this is my first "project". Kind of like a motorhead with a
"project car" only my kids call me a geek.
Also, the power supply fan sounds loud (not clunky) but just like lots
of air. Do I need to replace this?
Speaking of clunky. My computer says "TURN OFF CLUNKER" at the bottom
of the sign-on screen. Is this an omen?
Thanks for the help!
Aspiring to be a geek.....
