- Windows XP Network >> Upgrade from ME produces no internet and no soundcardHi,
After years of insisting that my Windows ME was just fine to get me what I
needed, I broke down and upgraded after finding out that my school sold XP
pro for $5.
Anyways, the installation was fine, except that now I cannot access the
internet and it says that my soundcard is not installed, though both worked
perfectly with ME.
When I try an autofix with the network (my apartment's T1 line), it
recognizes the server but says that it cannot get the server to send my
computer a new IP address.
Any suggestions?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Video Capture Help NeededTrying to capture video from a Sony dcrtrv730 via
firewire. On both PCs (one is 600 P3, other is 1.6 P4),
MM recognizes and controls the camera, but when I try to
preview or record, the camera acts like its cycling from
play to stop and the capture is beyond poor. Does anyone
have any suggestions?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Program not respondingUsing WinXhomw and IE6. Recently, I am getting a lot of "This Program is
Not Responding" pop-ups when I click on links on some of my favorite
websites. I have to close the pop-up and then all my windows close. Does
anyone smarter than me have a fix for this? Thanks in advance, Fran

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows Activation KeyI downloaded a copy of windows xp from our MSDN subscription and I was
installing it on a newly formated disk and I was asked to input the
activation key. Upon entering the key, I was notified that it was invalid
even though I believe to be valid. If there any way to verify the activation
key?

- Windows XP Security >> Locking Specific Folders With A PassordI want to limit acess to a ceratain folder. I have tried
Hiding but I need more security. Also, Zipping and then
adding a password is not safe. The Zipped Folder Can Be
Deleted. Originals must be kept unprotected. Is there
anyway I can keep my folder and put a secure pass lock on
it without additional software?

- Windows XP Support >> CMI8738 6 channel surround sound problemsI recently purchased a C-media 6 channel surround sound card off ebay.
It didn't come with any drivers, so I downloaded these off the C-media
website (http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/driver). After installation,
the sound card works, but I only get audio in the front speakers
('audio out'). I get no sound in the rear speakers, or in the
subwoofer/centre speakers.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

- Windows XP Security >> WFXMSRVRHey,
Sorry if this is already a thread but my ADD and OCD just won't allow me to troll thru 194 different headings...
I am running XP home and just updated to SP2(beta). Seems quite nice, but one prob I am having is with the windows security center. Each time I go online (dial-up) I get a warning about "WFXMSRVR" of which I can ignore,stop,etc. What is this (excuse my ignorance) and what is the best way to deal with it?
PLEASE do me a big favor and just answer to my email address,... I'm not to good w/ newsgroups! Sorry! :>

- Windows XP >> Unable to delete read-only folders - access deniedHi,
I've been trying to remove quite a few (>10) read-only folders & their
subfolders by following the workaround instructions found at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256614, but I'm still unable to remove the
folders.
I created a new registry key UseSystemForSystemFolders and modified the new
value to Type 1 in Registry Editor. Then I tried to use the attrib command
prompt to change the read-only attribute by using attrib -r +s C:\V\Vids. But
it says Access denied.
What else can I do to get rid of these folders? Someone please help me out,
thanks very much in advance!
Sincerely,
Regine

- Windows XP Security >> Starting XP with user that is not in the Admin group.I can not start Windows XP with a user that is not in the administrators group. I have tired both the user and power user group. This started after I tried to change the security settings in the registry for a program that has to update a registry key when starting up. I do not have a back up. I create a user, joined them to the user group, went in to the registry, found the three entries for the program and added the user group with full control to those keys. This did not work so I went back to the three keys and removed the user group. Now when I try to log on using that user I get the start up sound but nothing on the desktop In task manager the only service I can stop is the taskmgr for the user I am trying to log on. I also can not start a tast through task manager like say Explorer. When using a user that is in the admin group everything works fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

- Windows XP >> RPC Disable Now Enabled and computer is sooo SLow HELP??Greetings
I had the NT Authority virus (it restarted my PC every 15 mins).
...................................................................
Scenario
I did the following:
selected the Remote Access Connection Manager with the secondary
mouse button and select Properties. Then set the Startup Type
to "Disabled" and then "Stop" the service. Remember to Apply these
new settings (just click Apply or OK)
Then Went to Remote Procedure Call (RPC). Again go to the Properties
for
this service. I selected the "Log On" tab at the
top of the small window that popped up when Properties was selected.
Now go down to the area labeled 'You can enable or disable this
service
for
the hardware profiles listed below' and click on Profile 1 and
"Disable" this service.
....................................................................
Now I could not manage to enable the RPC services back again, hence I
did it in
Regedit, by going to current control set, servics.
In fact anything that should be accessed through right clicks isn't
working anymore. I cannot run defrag on my machine, my only hope was
to try system restore, and now it is not working. I tried running
Repair in Windows XP
the process stopped at C:\Windows...
Any ideas on how I could fix this?
Cheers

Windows XP >> IN NEED OF SERIOUS HELP - MANY PROBLEMS
First of all, I have quite a list of viruses I found on my computer, there all unable to be removed, and have been found and contained by an Avast! Antivirus. I am the host of a wireless network, and am afraid that the viruses can spread to the other computers, is that possible? Here is a list of the viruses I have seen so far.
JS: Ezploit-Bytverify-2 x4
JS: ClassLoader-1
Win32: Kuang2
Win95: Matyas x2
Next, my Microsoft Word still has some problem and shuts down after 50 seconds of being used; I have much to do with this and must have it fixed ASAP.
I also detected some bugs in the registry via Ad-aware 6.0 that couldn't be removed a while ago, but when I scanned today to show in this letter it was gone. Is that possible ether?
I must have these problems addressed as soon as possible, help will be gratefully appreciated. If anyone has any information that can help me with this, or needs more detailed information may email me.

Windows XP >> IN NEED OF SERIOUS HELP - MANY PROBLEMS
Probably not what you wanna hear, but the way it sounds, you would probably
be better off reformatting the drive and starting over and invest in a good
virus scanner, such as Norton's and keep up on your virus definitions! A
couple of what you got are fairly difficult to rid yourself of. Resort to
www.symantec.com to get removal instructions if you wanna attempt to get rid
of them one by one. IF you reformat, make sure to unhook the network
drives, (pull the cable) and then do it, and get your anti-virus with
updated definitions loaded BEFORE you plug the network back in.
And in answer to your other question, yes, you can infect other systems on
the network and most likely they already are. Always follow the rule of
thumb that you NEVER open files unless you KNOW they can be trusted and
always scan those even before you open them!
Good luck!

Windows XP >> IN NEED OF SERIOUS HELP - MANY PROBLEMS
Hi Chris,
Most all remnants can be removed. Find the keys via the Symantec, etc
write-ups and do them manually, if a tool isn't offered. For most, you need
to stop the process via the Task Manager, remove the exe's from the System32
folder, rid the entry from Msconfig/Startup, which in turn removes the
runkeys, and so on......
As per Word shutting down in 50 seconds are you sure this doesn't apply to
any application and is the msblaster worm? Either way run:
To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Recovery/First Failure/Restart the Service.
Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned.
This script removes all variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, B, C, D,
E and F) and will inform you whether or not the patch is already installed.

- Windows XP Support >> task scheduler in accessoriesI have installed norton systemworks and it set up schedules for several
features (one being antivirus scan); they all seem to run as scheduled except
for the antivirus scan. On it I get an error message (The attempt to log on
to the account associated with the task failed, therefore, the task did not
run.
The specific error is:
0x80041314: The task has been configured with an unsupported combination of
account settings and run time options.
Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again.)
The run-as is listed as Acer/user and I am unsure of the password; when I
try to insure I have a valid password, it gives msg saying I am not allowed
access to this type action even though I am the computer administrator.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

- Windows XP Setup >> anti virus causes crashMy computer (Dell Dimension 4600 XP) crashed after installing anti virus
program "Defender Pro 5-in-1". example, first, every few minutes I kept

was finally able to uninstall it.

- Windows XP Security >> Restrict websites for some users onlyOn a given Win XP Pro machine on a peer-to-peer network (no server or
proxy), I have six users accounts. I would like two of these accounts (with
admin privileges) to have unrestricted access to any website, but the four
remaining ones (with limited privileges) to have restricted access to only
websites I will specifically preauthorize, just a handful.
My router filtering feature is a all-or-nothing solution for all the
network, not something I want. Same with a number of software-based
solutions I found, including configuration of hosts file. Other solutions I
found require commercial softwares that do not support multiaccount Windows
installation.
Configuration of Internet Explorer is not an avenue as it is not the
browser used on that machine.
I would preferably need a free solution.
Any advice or link welcomed
Thank you !
