- Windows XP >> Funny NoisesHi,
I'm pretty new to PC stuff, so here goes. I've got
Windows XP Home Edition but since I recently got
broadband internet access I keep getting strange noises
when I use the PC. Its like dinging and zinging noises
you get when people enter or leave a chat room. At first
I thought it might be caused by pop ups from using Kazaa,
however it doesn't matter what programme I'm in, coz I'm
always connected to the net I keep getting these noises.
Anyone able to suggest something or help ion any way. I'd
be most grateful as its driving me maddddddddddd...opps
there goes another zing!!!!!
Thanks

- Windows XP >> can't open control panel or change any settingsI had a virus and something is still messed up after it was supposedly found and removed. When I try to open Control Panel, I get an
error message that says "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your
system administrator."
I AM the administrator and I am using one computer, XP-Pro OS w/sp2, Router between me and the cable modem. I use Ad-Aware and
SpywareBlaster + McAfee AV ver 8.0 w virusscan ver 12.0
Also, if I go thru start menu and click on either "Accessories" from the Programs menu, or click on "Administrative Tools", or just
about anything that would give me control over settings, the menu just instantly closes before I can even see the choices. How can I
get my computer back?
Thanks !!

- Windows XP Support >> HelpPlease HELP....
I am having trouble with my PC. I have a P4 2.6GHZ, 1024MB PC2700, 2 x
80GB H/D's, a 128MB GeForce 5700SE, Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS, running MS XP
Pro,and it keeps coming up with this fault on nearly all the applications
when I close them, below is just two of the programs that give off that
annoying BING.
I have ran WinSpeedUp and a few other reg checkers and they can't find
anything, I also ran ad-aware6.0 and search and destroy and the same result,
nothing can be found. I am now bald having pulled all the rest of my hair
out trying to find the solution to this fault, and the only one I can think
of is formatting my drives and starting from fresh.
Any help would be much appreciated on this subject, and pointers as to
resolve may end up in my offer of marriage to the person who help's the most
Thank you in advance

- Windows XP Security >> Cannot Access Folder OptionsI am running Win XP Home Edition and I need to access the Folder Options to
make Hidden Folders visible for some admin tasks I need to run.
I first tried to go via Control Panel > Appearance & Themes but the Folder
Options link was not there. I then realised that the Folder Options item was
not displayed in any Folder windows (under Tools menu) either
I then went to the Help and Support Centre . Here a search on "Folder
Options" gave me a direct link to Folder Options - but when I click it I get
the error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on
this computer. Please contact your system administrator"
Needless to say I am the adminstrator and all of the above is being run from
within the admin-enabled account on this PC
Would really appreciate help on how to regain access to the Folder options
functionality. Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Support >> Big Problems w Outlook Express 6All of a sudden I started having problems with my e-mail. I need help
desperately, but I am not that knowledgeable with computers. I have a lot of
people mad at me...when I send e-mails, everyone gets it hundreds of times.
Also when I send an e-mail it doesn't appear in my sent box it automatically
goes into my outbox. Sometimes I can't receive e-mails, sometimes I can. I
am getting error reports, but I can't read them. I have called my cable
service and they checked everything out and said all my settings are correct.
Why then is this happening? Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

- Windows XP Network >> Missing Network Adapters (device manager)WinXPPro (corp) w/ sp1. No viruses detected. Had to recently go to a dialup. Was using 802.11g off of a broadband connect. After installing latest security patches and upgrades in anticipation of dialup, I installed my modem and loaded drivers. Diag. showed proper workings. could not connect. Modem will dial but never connect. went to Device manager and found no "network adapters" entry. It's completely missing. So I can't add a dialup adapter to properties. How do I install network adapters back to my device manager?

- Windows XP Network >> WEP? Help!I have a Belkin wireless router that I use to share my
broadband Internet connection. I am not interested in
file or printer sharing. I have two desktops running
Windows 98 that are "wired" into router and those
computers work just fine!
However, I have a Dell laptop with Centrino running
Windows XP. I can share the Internet connection just fine
until I enable WEP. I cannot figure out how to "log on"
with the passphrase or the key. At times it appears that
my passphrase or key is accepted and I get an excellent
signal but I cannot access the Internet. Other times it
pretends I never entered in anything at all and proceeds
to show me the available SSIDs in the area.
Can anybody please help me?

Windows XP >> MS update question - slow computer
I know that the MS patches/updates should be installed on a computer
but is there any case when they shouldn't be installed?
I ask because one of my relatives wants me to install the patches on
their computer but I'm not sure they should be installed. The computer
is Win XP Home, 2.4 GHz and 128MB RAM. Needless to say, the computer
is painfully slow and especially with programs running like the
anti-virus, firewall, and AOL. They plan on getting more memory but
this might not be for another 2-4 months or so. I'm not sure if I
should wait til then to install the patches or not. Any advice?

Windows XP >> MS update question - slow computer
Add more RAM to it! 128MB of RAM is not enough memory, eventhough it is the
minimum requirements. 256MB of RAM should make the system respond better
and 512MB should make the system a "speed demon"

- Windows XP >> Startup Folder/Page/Screen Showing Ontop of Desktop on StartupI installed a Lucent/Agere modem on hold feature on my computer. Now the C:\Documents and Settings\Wayne\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\MOH, screen, page or folder which shows all of its contents, mohapi.dll, LTMOH, LtMOH and
MOhelp pops up ontop of my desktop every time the computer starts up. I can exit out of this page by clicking the "X" in the upper right corner but it will still come up every time the computer starts up. The Lucent MOH comes up in my task bar and starts automatically just like I want it too, but does anyone know what the heck I can do to stop the page from showing up on my desktop and why I have to exit it every time I start my computer? After I exit the page which shows up on my desk top showing the contents of the above file the modem on hold feature continues to work. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to explain here. Sure hope somebody out there has an answer because this is driving me nuts!

- Windows XP Support >> Adding HD with W2K OS in machine with another HD with XPHi Folks,
I had been using a desktop with HD which has w2k installed. Now, I have
a new machine with XP installed on its hard drive. Since there is lot
of data and software, I just want to add the old HD to the new machine.
Can I just add the HD with w2K as secondary HD to the new machine with
XP? Will the new machine still operate with XP as primary OS?
Any suggestion and recommendations are welcome.
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP >> make thumbs.db go awayWhen I copy from one personal folder with photos and html
pages to my CDRW, it is copying too thumbs.db, but I
don't see this in my folder that I am copying from. If
it's there, it is hidden and I don't know where it came
from. I already checked not to cache the thumbnails in
the folder options. I already selected to have all the
hidden folders shown. You can't see this in my folder and
when it's copied, it appears in the one that it is copied
in.
Confusing enough?
Thanks,
Ann

- Windows XP >> Windows XP locks upWhen we start up one of our IBM computers running Windows
XP, it locks up when the screen saying press Alt-Ctrl-Del
comes up. We are unable to use the mouse and keyboard.
If we power off the computer and power it back on, it
boots ok. This only happens when the computer is first
booted each morning.
