- Windows XP >> Retail version of XP Pro vs. regular versionI bought a Gateway notebook with Windows XP Pro installed as well as
Microsoft Office. It has:
CPU: Intel Celeron M 360 1.4 GHz
Memory: 512MB (1 x 512MB)DDR PC2700 SO-DIMM
Video: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Integrated NB
Audio: AC '97
I installed an older (Pre XP) version of a program called Tenant Pro 5. I
had been running it on a Windows 98SE desktop prior to this. When I tried to
run it I got the windows message about having to shut down Tenant Pro before
it even started. I removed it and reinstalled it several times but got the
same result. I tried loading and running it on my computer with Windows XP
Pro and it ran fine.
I contacted Gateway but they pushed me off onto Tentant Pro to ask for an
OEM patch. Tentant Pro no longer supports version 5 since they now have
version 7 out. They did say that version 5 was available before XP and that
some computers will run it and others will not. They therefore don't have an
OEM patch.
Any suggestions? I'd really like to run it on the notebook.
TIA,

- Windows XP Setup >> Please explain accounts in XPSomeone once tried to explain to me how many accounts get set up with a
fresh install, but considering it's only me who uses the PC do I need all
these accounts (admin etc) can I just not set pc up with me and no need for
password so I just go into desktop, I know some people will say it's not
safe but it's my home PC so nobody else uses it.

- Windows XP >> monitor stuck in power save modeHelp! My PC is stuck in 'power save' mode which means my monitor
remains blank. The 'Windows>Enter' keyboard routine does not work,
nor does disconnecting/reconnectiing power cord. I can't disable Power
Management (the root of the problem) because I can't see anything on
the monitor...
I'm at wits end. Anybody out there got a solution?
Your help will be much appreciated. TIA, Chris Gough

- Windows XP Network >> Home Netork Problems With Norton Internet Security 2004I have two Pentium 4 Desktops set up on a Home Network. Both are running
Win XP Pro. The network is created wirelessly via a Linksys 802.11b
Broadband Router. I have Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2004 (on one
machine which is wire connected to the router) running with the DHCP IP
Address Range of the router in the Trusted Zone of the firewall. Everything
was working fine until a few days ago when the following problems occurred:
Network sharing of files and printers failed.
The error "Homenet is not accessible. You may not have permission to use
this network resource" appeared when attempting to view computers in the
workgroup.
The Network Setup Wizard failed to restore the network and would not even
show the main computer in Network Places.
Microsoft .Net Service failed using MSN Messenger
All of this seemed to resolve after I disabled the firewall, and ran the
Network Setup Wizard. The problems came back if I reinstated the firewall.
I tried checking the solution Turn On NetBIOS over TCP/IP (MS article
318030), but my situation did not meet the conditions that Microsoft detail,
and this lost the Internet Connection
I can only put this down to some update that Symantec have sent to NIS 2004.
Has anybody else had this or similar experiences?
Much is made of having a firewall in place, but it really does seem to cause
problems. Is a software firewall really necessary, or does the hardware
router provide a sufficient firewall? NIS does seem to detect a lot of
potential intrusions, but if it makes the network fail it is not much use!
Any comments - especially from the MVP's would be appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Can't uninstall network adapterWin XP Pro SP2 including most recent security updates.
I was unable to connect to the Internet and found that Device Manager showed
a problem with my NIC: Windows is unable to load drivers. The first thing
to do is to uninstall and let Windows find the hardware and reinstall, right?
When I try to uninstall, I get "Failed to uninstall, this device may be
necessary to boot up" or something like that. I do not boot from a network,
just from the hard drive, in the usual manner.
I get this behavior in Safe Mode as well (although in Safe Mode, Device
Manager shows no problem with the NIC, probably because Windows didn't try to
load the networking drivers).
Something else clearly is going on because all of my System Restore Points
are "unavailale" although the System Volume Information directory is not
empty.
I' ve run Ad-Aware in Safe Mode, which didn't find anything. I'm about to
run Spybot S&D also. I've done a CHKDSK /R which didn't find any errors.
Any suggestions before I either open the case and physically remove the NIC
or restore from my last Ghost image (which I'd rather not do because it was a
week or so ago and I'll have to take steps to prevent losing a bunch of data
that has been modified in the interim)?

- Windows XP Security >> How do I set this up?I have 3 computers all on the same network and subnet. Computer1 has
sensitive information that must be secured. However, I need to be able to
access Computer1 from Computer2 and Computer3. I've shared the root of
Computer1 and now I need to know what local and share permissions I need to
set so that 2 and 3 can access 1. Also, do I need to do anything with the
policies on any of the computers? What about user accounts, do I need to
create user accounts on Computer1 with the same name as accounts on 2 and 3?
It's been a long time since I've done this stuff. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> New slipstream or delete updates?Hello Group!
I am having a few problems with my machine, and I hopefully will be
able to do a rebuild,
rather than a full repair/reinstall of XP. (fingers xx'ed)
Last year I created a slipstream of SP2. What I wanted to know was:
should I create a new slipstreamed SP2 with all of the new updates that
I have on my machine from the past year, or delete all of the updates,
or just use the original slipstreamed XP. OR if anyone has any other
suggestions, I am a sponge ready to learn!
I have always kept up with the windows updates.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Update >> WSUS problemHello,
I have recently introduced WSUS onto our school's network. The installation
went fine and all computers (approx 140) were visible. The WSUS server
synchronised just fine and I have changed the approval category of all
updates to "install". However, on the WSUS server conolse I can see that
all of the computers have stats such as (for example) 12 Updates installed,
58 Needed.
This is obviously from manual updates that have been ran prviously so WSUS
does not seem to be working in terms of dispersing updates to clients. I
have checked the WSUS directory and the permissions are correct.
Group policy is setup (under Computer Admin Templates) for the clients to
point to the right server for WSUS and everything else is setup as per the
installation documents from microsoft.
Can anyone help me with this? Is there something I need to do on each
client (bar group policy) to invoke WSUS?
thanks in advance!

- Windows XP >> STOP: 0x000000044 MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTI have a similar situation with regards to two HP D135 Office Jet's

(08X814122E8,0X00000CCA,0X00000000,0X00000000)MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUEST.
workstations are running on Intel MBA's. One motherboard in the Intel
845PT, and the other Motherboard is the Intel D865GLC, Running Win2k
sp3. The only similarity that I can associate between two two seperate
instances is that both motherboards are run at USB2.0 speed. I have
read in various newgroups that there seems to be a problem with the
firmware to this HP Office Jet D135. Does anyone have any information
to pass along, outside of having to open a case directly with HP
Customer Support. Or will they deny an on going problem with no
resolution?...

- Windows XP Update >> window explorer open file from 3rd party softwareI have XP Professional SP 2 with Radeon X800XT video card.
In the past 3 days I am having problem opening file from Photoshop 7 using
"File->Open". I get to the directory where my file is and the software
disappears without error messages. Also if I have window explorer opened but
minimized and working in either Photoshop or Creator the system come up with
window explorer failed and does a reset of sort. Reset meaning explorer
disappears and a warning saying my system is not protected by a firewall,
which normally appears after restarting or booting up the system. The
Creator and Photoshop are still up and running when explorer fails. I
removed update KB900985, but had the same problem so I reinstalled the patch.
I recently installed the "Window Genuine Advantage Notication (KB905474)" at
the same time as KB900985, could the problem be from these two patches?
