- Windows XP Support >> Computer restarts after being turned offProblem....
a customers pc reboots all on it's own after shutting down.
After turning the pc of in the usual way from windows, the pc shuts down and
then restarts right away.
Even if the power button is held in then it keeps on restarting over and
over again.
Nothing set in bios to auto restart it if power goes down.
No settings to wake on Lan.
It's as though the power button is switching on it's own.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP >> Managed DirectxJust bought a new Toshiba P25-S487 laptop with 17"
screen. It has XP home pre-installed. I was able to
install all the XP Updates except for one which downloads
but refuses to install. It is "Managed Directx". Tried
installing it several times but installation fails.
Microsoft will not give me free support because XP was
pre-installed by Toshiba (OEM) and referred me back to
Toshiba. NO HOPE OVER THERE! I am sure someone has a
solution.
Thank You

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> 21 XP critical updates.Hi all,
I recently had major problems with my PC & had to format & return to factory settings. My main concern was security, so I set up my firewall & antivirus. Without surfing the net, I then searched for critical updates & found 21, I decided to download the lot in one go, but when I click on add/remove programs, only about 14 appear?
I have checked on the Windows update site, & all appear there on installation history, can anyone tell me if the lot have installed, or whether more should appear in add/remove?
I have re checked for updates, but no critical updates are appearing, so I don`t know if this will help.
Many thanks for any replies.
Ian.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> funny problem with titles and creditsHi:
It's several months ago since I don't use WMM, but it used to work properly.
Now when I try to add a title, it just does nothing - when I click to the
ready link it does nothing and when I click to the change animation link an
empty list of effects is displayed. Same with credits: the link doesn't
work. You can see the screenshots at:
http://geocities.com/neutron3210/wmmerror.jpg
My system is win xp home, sp2
Any idea? (especially the empty list maybe a hint).-
I already tried reinstalling WMM, the full sp2, and re-registering all wmm
files, but didn't work.
Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Machine shutdowns over and over againHello,
I see there is a lovely virus going around again, but what does it do to
your machine?
I'm worried that my second machine has it. When I load it up, everything
seems fine, but after I've typed in my login password and got into Windows
it automatically starts to shutdown (like I have selected it from the Start
Menu). I thought it might be the power button being stuck but then it would
shutdown on the login screen. And it's not because the machine is over
heating as the temperature in the BIOS is fine and there is no alarm going
off (which I've set up).
Any ideas why it's doing this?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Can't Import .AVi from Digital CamcorderI own a samsung handicam. When I try to import my videos off of this into
movie maker, i get this error message:
the file _______ cannot be imported because the codec required to play the
file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download
and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to
import the file again.
I have looked online and it appears that this codec is codec 45. I have
tried to find a free download of this, that is compatible with microsoft XP.
I have also tried to play this in Windows Media Player and have only gotten
the audio from my video files to play.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> File sharing problemsI'm running a small wireless home network and I'm having a few problems.
Both computers are fully updated, running XP home sp2, all the firewalls are
configuered correctly my intenet connection is fine and the shared printer
operates fine. My problem lies in file sharing. I can access files from my
laptop that are stored on my desktop, but not very quickly. The other way
round it hardly works at all, if ever.
I think the problem may lie with egistery entries? I think the problem
started when I had to re-setup the network.
Any help really appreciated

- Windows XP Network >> cleaning up my network placesI have a 5 windows xp home and professional computers that have multiple
entries that show up when I look at my network places. I know from what I
have read in the web and in this news group that the information displayed in
my network places comes from the master browser. I have also used browstat
to see the status of my network and everything is okay.
I just want to know how to remove the enteries that are not working any
more. I have disconnected the shared network connections on the windows xp
computers that are not available anymore, but I would like to know if I can
just delete the enteries from the master browser in my network places if they
are not working any more or if it is even possible to remove the enteries
from the my network places (and be able to control what is seen here). I
have 77 shared folders, some of which don't exist as some computers have been
re-named and what not and thus incorrect entries exist. Thus what is the
best way to clean up this mess and keep it from coming back?

- Windows XP >> Desktop.ini opens on startupAll of a sudden Windows XP Pro has begun to open Desktop.ini in Notepad at
the end of the bootup process. Near the end of startup the file appears on
screen. Everything else seems to be working normally. The contents of the
file are a single line:
[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@shell32.dll,-21774
I know of no recent changes to the system. I have XP Pro SP1 with all
critical updates. This is a Toshiba laptop with 512 MB RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gene

Do you have to use your ISP's news server to access these groups? If no,
add a News Account in OE. Use news server: msnews.microsoft.com
There is no logon required.
If yes, you need to check with your ISP for the settings they require to
access their servers.

- Windows XP Network >> System hangs when opening shared folders through VPNI've been trying to fix this for such a long time now...
I have two offices, about 90 miles away from eachother. The offices are
connected via 2 netgear FVS114 VPN units.
On one computer, I am successfully able to access the network shares of the
other offices. Browse shared folders, etc etc.
On the other two computers, I can successfully see the initial share window
when I type \\computername.
But when I try to double click into one of the folders... it times out. The
computer basically freezes for about several minutes then gives an error.
The error states:
\\brian\fbdata is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions. The specified network name is no longer available.
This happens on 2 of 3 computers. The third computer gets in and browses
just fine. All computers are XP Professional.
I really hope this is something small. I heard such great things about this
VPN unit... I'm a consultant and am contracted to set up this companies VPN.
They are obviously losing patience.
I hope I explain this problem correctly... if it is unclear please let me
know.
If anyone can help... I will be very very grateful.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Update >> Got 0x8007043B Error, Regedit Fix Didn't WorkI'm running Win XP Pro, and after SP2 install, I get the
0x800743B error while searching for Windows Updates. I
tried the add WUAUSERV and BITS to SvcHost process via
regedit (though I didn't see any Value Data under the
netsvcs key). That didn't work. I've searched high and
low for another fix, and found only a vbs (Virtual Basic)
script. I'm not going to learn Virtual Basic to fix
something SP2 broke, and I'm not going to sign up for
a .net Passport account to get online help. So what to
do? Wipe the drive and reload XP Pro and hope SP2 doesn't
prevent me from getting Windows Updates ... again? Or
what? Any help out there?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Windows XP lag - Windows Explorer lagWindows XP lag - Windows Explorer lag
I've P4 1.8GHz, 512MB ram, Windows XP that works worser than my old
386. Everything happens because dirty in the windows register. When I
attempt to copy, cut, delete, move, and right-click some file or
folder the machine locks-up for about 30 sec. I found it happens
because windows XP look for every entry in
"HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers". There was an winzip
entry, but I not have winzip installed so windows keep searching the
entire registry for the DLL that was referenced by the winzip entry.
Not satisfied in not show me any error message it search the entire
registry again and again every right-click.
If you have the same symptons try to look in this key.

- Windows XP Update >> !Where the @#$@# is KB918899?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Updates notification tells me that KB918899 (Cumulative Security update for
Windows Explorer for Windows XP) is available to download.
Clicking on the link in update notifications takes me to this webpage:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx
Guess what, no sign of the above update, or ANY of the August
updates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It ONLY LISTS the July updates.
So I try this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-aug.mspx
This web page lists the update, but guess what happens when you click on the
link....
It goes STRAIGHT TO http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx
again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Microsoft you've been providing these updates long enough now to not
be making STUPID mistakes like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally did manager to get the update but ONLY with the help of a third
party email newsletter that provided the correct link to the download....
For anyone else trying to find this update try here:

- Windows XP >> Setting program access and defaultsI am using OS is XP Pro w/SP2
The configuration in "Set Program Access and Defaults" is set to Custom.
The "Choose a default e-mail program" is set to "Use my current e-mail
program"
The box beside "Outlook Express" is checked.
I can go to Set Program Access and Defaults and set the email program to
Outlook Express. And I can set the radio button from Custom to Microsoft
Windows.
Although I set both choices and then select OK and exit that panel, when I
reopen the Set Program Access and Defaults panel the radio button choices
have reverted back to Custom and Use my current e-mail program.
How can I make these changes take effect permanently?

- Windows XP Setup >> Upgraded install of XP over W2k - no internetHello, All!
I installed XP as an upgrade rather than clean install over my w2k system
(installed it over 1 of 2 w2k OS partition installations so I'm operable in
my dual boot by booting up on w2k).
I have a problem with the XP system. I can not access the internet. I am on
a cable modem which worked fine with w2k. But I've have been totally unable
to gain access with XP.
Thanks and help appreciated.
Thanks.
