- Windows XP Support >> Printer ProblemHi all,
I have WindowsXP Professional I formated and reloded last week and all is
fine except whenever I boot my computer it "finds a new printer"
I have a Canon i320 installed and with the latest drivers..
When I installed the i320 Windows "found i320" but this new message just
says "found printer" (no model numnber).
It finds this ghost printer whether my i320 is turned ON or Off connected
to the pc or disconnected to the pc.
I have tried deleting the i320 and letting Windows re-detect the printer and
it finds the "i320" then on the same boot it also finds the "printer" so
then I have to go through the motions of letting it look for drivers and the
saying Drivers can't be found and then there was an error installing new
hardware....
This is not a major problem, this is just irritatting, the computer works
fine but I just don't want the hassel of anymore..
Thanks

- Windows XP >> cache questionI use google a lot and I notice that it keeps track of search parameters. I
know that this is some cache stored on my machine and have tried clearing it
using the internet options dialog box, under the general tab but clearing
history, cookies and temp files has no effect on this. Where is this info
stored and how do I clear it?
Thanks In Advance

- Windows XP Setup >> Reinstalled Win XP, nothing worksi just reinstalled windows xp, i am at the desktop rite now. I can't install things from cd drive, i can't adjust resolution, no audio hardware is detected, i can't get on the internet with my broadband connection. What is going on here.... When i reinstalled xp it never asked me for my product key which was kinda weird, could that be the problem?

- Windows XP >> Hiden folders in temporary internet files folderSome portions of XP Pro (Eg. Explorer, Search for files) ignore the folders
in the temporary internet files folder. There is no indication that there
are any folders there. Using the command prompt to set the current directory
to the temporary internet files folder you can see the hidden folders. All
relevant folder options controlling hiding files and folders, hiding
protected operating system files, etc., have been set to show everything
possible.
Questions: Is there a way to control this behavior? If something is there, I
want to see it. Are there other folders that get this special treatment?

- Windows XP Network >> Windows Explorer locks-up when I open "My Network Places" for the second timeHi all,
yesterday I decided to reinstall my PC from scratch. I installed Windows XP
Pro with SP 1a, latest version of drivers and every critical/windows update.
Everything worked flawlessly except for one thing. After every login I can
open "My Network Places" just for one time.
The first time I open it I can see my Residential Gateway Device (UPnP) and
every shared folder on the other PCs, but when I try to doubleclick on "My
Network Places" icon again, cursor changes to "Working in Background" (arrow
+ hourglass) for a while and nothing happens.
Then , when I log off, Windows says that an instance of explorer.exe is not
responding and I've to terminate it.
BTW: I made the same installation 3 times (from scratch every time... it
took the whole day...) but I always had the same behaviour.
Any idea?
Thanx in advance.

- Windows XP Network >> SP2 and Internet accessI have a long list of issues with my machine right now and tried to remedy
them by backing up and reistalling windows XP. However, all is not well with
audio, video and various other drivers.
Error reporting recomends that I install SP2 but when I do so my internet
connection, although present, is very limited in that it 'comes-and-goes'. I
have a 1meg connection supplied by Blueyonder (Telewest) but the issue is
apparently not with them but with SP2. I have now removed SP2 and the
connection is fine again.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can anyone perhaps advise me as
to what is causing the connection issue?

- Windows XP >> Limit loading a service and startup client to 1 user onlyI have a home PC set up for multiple users with XP Pro. I
use an Alcatel VPN client to connect to my work. This
loads a service and client at start-up and leaves an icon
in the tray for access.
The client causes problems at times and other users do not
know how to deal with it.
I would like to have the service and client load only for
1 user (me). How do I achieve this?
Thanks for any help.

- Windows XP >> Minimizing Open Applications to TaskbarFor a while I have not been able to minimize an application to the taskbar
for re-expanding later.
When I minimze an application it disappears completely from the screen and
does not appear on the taskbar. If I click on the application icon a new
window with a newly loaded application appears.
I am guessing I may have "reset" a setting accidentally somewhere along the
way, but can't figure out what it is.
Any ideas? Thanks.

- Windows XP >> DVD won't work.I have a Matsushita read only DVD that will not be read by
WMP it says I lack a ceertain file but where do I get this
from?
The DVD was an OEM from a place that has gone bust and
Pioneer/Matsushita won't support the driver.

customize >> function keyboard re-assign
how to re-assign (re-map) the keyboard function keys..??
have keyboard with internet buttons but there are some
function keys that are wasted space.
want to save some (rename - refresh - resize) but in
documents would like to have keys do stuff like copy-
paste-save-close etc. also in web maybe changing to
popular sites (similar to links).
using ctrl/alt/shift with keys is good but to confusing
sometimes. why use 2 keys when one is easier.
seems like moving hand off mouse might relieve carp
tunnel in wrist.

Usually these devices come with their own drivers and will add some
extra tabs to the Control Panel > Keyboard from where you can change
this.
You can also check the settings in TWEAKUI.EXE > Explorer > Command
Keys. TweakUI is available from

- Windows XP Network >> Internet Explorer 7 won't installI recently went to the Microsoft Updates page to update my Internet Explorer
to version 7. Overnight, it downloaded from the website. When I returned to
the computer a while later, I proceeded to install it. The computer went
through the whole installation process and asked me to restart. I did. When
I restarted the computer, Internet Explorer version 7 wasn't installed. It
was still running version 6. I went through this entire process several
times and the problem still exists. The Microsoft downloads history page
tells me that the update has been downloaded, but not installed. I've tried
repeatedly to install it with no success. How can I correct this problem?

I've gotten rid of the internet temp files manually but
the computer is slower...and slower...
I read about adjusting something at the root which is
dangerous. I'm about to go buy XP for dummies.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

- Windows XP >> onverting to a single bootI was trying to install Linux on the D drive of my computer, but with all
the issues I have decided to rip it out and stay with my XP Pro. Only
problem is that when I got rid if Linux, my system still thinks it has to
load through the Grub boot loader and will only display Grum 2 on an
otherwise black screen. How can I ginally get rid of this thing and get my
computer to boot to Windows normally?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> WINXP FreezingI have not seen this happen on any other machine running
XP so it is perplexing me, especially since all trouble
shooting has provided no answers.
I have one machine running a pre-installed XP Home
edition on a P4 1.8 with 256 RAM. System will run fine
for awhile but when left alone for over 5 minutes it hard
freezes and goes to a desktop only view with no icons.
Will not re-start unless we hard boot it with the power
button.
Anyone else seen this before and have any ideas?

- Windows XP Setup >> Need help for particular search and other stuff....I am asking to find out that when you try to do an install but use the
option to "Repair this Install" and it asks for the Admin. password, I am
fairly sure that I didn't ever use one on the initial install. So I just hit
the CR without entering any at all. But no go.
What I would like to lknow is if there is anyway to search for that password
and just what exactly would you ask to search for? "password"? Or regedit
from the start button/run/regedit... etc but where in the registry might it
be found? \
Does anyone have this level of knowledge to give me this info? I am having
various problems with this install and it seems to be getting worse. I am
trying to install my wireless router's software again after an RMA on the
router, but I get an error and it will not even allow me to install the
software. The Windows Magagment Instrumentation (WMI) {look in Local Area
Connection Properties, under the Advanced Tab, and it should show the
Firewall settings I beleive. But mine has a message that reads:
Windows cannot display the properties of this connection. The Windows
Managament Instrumentation (WMI)information might be corrupted. To correct
this, use System Restore and restore Windows to an earlier time. Says a bit
more but it is inmaterial to this post. Before I was having a problem
installing a new USB Wireless NetworkAdapter.
What my other question is, is it possible to install OVER the OS that is
currently on the HD if a FULL Program for XP Pro is used and not just an
Upgrade CD? What needs to be done to guarantee to be able to do this IF you
can that is. I have wayyyyyyyyyy to much stuff to do a complete install from
scratch and lose all of that if I can avoid it. No know viruses, spyware
etc. have been found in any scans done.
Thanks for any help. One last thing if if possible or necessary and
available, this email address can be used to send any files or documentation
to it to allow clear instructions and info if need be.
Thanks for any help that comes in...

- Windows XP Network >> Help! Internet Explorer BrokeI am running WinXP Pro. Had a problem with Norton software and tried
to remove it. Long story short... I reinstalled WinXP Pro SP2 on top
of my confused system.
Then I found more traces of Norton, and I used the standalone Norton
Uninstaller.
Now I have a system that is basically at SP2 level. I also have
ZoneAlarm Security Suite running.
I try to get upgrades by clicking on Windows Upgrade in Win Explorer.
The first thing that happens is I get an error message that says:
"Windows cannot find '(null)'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly....."
This opens a blank window. I click OK on the error message and then I
get the Microsoft Update Home page.
I click "Express" . It checks for updates and then comes up with a
"Download and Install Now" button. I click it and I get a window that
says it is installing. Then a message says "the following updates were
not installed" Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1"
And this is as far as I can get.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
