- Windows XP Network >> Unable to add additional shared foldersI have 2 PCs on a home network: XP Pro & XP Home. I have recovered from a
fatal crash on XP Home with a new installation. Data did survive.
XP Home accesses internet via XP Pro and works fine.
2 folders - Shared & user-a - that were previously shared, continue to be
shared. This is true on both computers. Each computer can access two folders
on the other.
I have not been able to share any additional folders, including folders that
were shared prior to the crash.
How should I troubleshoot this?

- Windows XP >> continuous boot loopI'm really hoping someone can help me. I ran a norton scan
on my home pc and it found a virus called
W32.HLLP.Spreda.B (also called savenow)It had not actually
infected my computer yet. It was quarantined. I followed
the diretions on the norton site to remove it. At the end
of the directions i was instructed to edit the registry. I
followed all directions to a t and thought all would be
well when i restarted. i was wrong. My computer isnow
stuck in a continuous booting loop. The farthest it ever
gets is the black WINDOWS XP screen that shows windows is
loading, then it makes somne noises and starts to reboot.
It does this over and over and over again without stop. I
don't know what to do!!! Is there anyone out there who can
help me? The dirctions i followed are at the link below.

- Windows XP >> Can I move Root Drive from H: back to C:?Hi All,
Came across a customer that had a neighborhood child
replace her hard drive and reinstall XP Home. Problem:
the kid didn't realize he had to disconnect the zip drive
before installing XP. So, the root drive is H:
and not C:, making all kinds of problems with installing
drivers, etc..
Question: is there a way to remap the root drive back
to C: or am I looking at a reinstall of XP?
Many thanks,

and it comes with instructions to install it for earlier versions of windows,

You can check your Windows Update History at the Windows update site. Do
a system file check.

- Windows XP Hardware >> SATA drives and Windows XPI am having trouble with Windows XP installing on SATA
hard drives. I created a drivers diskette, so when
Windows begins to install, I press F6 and point it to the
A: drive. It lists all the drivers available and I choose
the one for XP. When XP gets to the point when it shows
the hard drives available for installation, it says that
there are no local drives available. I have confirmed the
installation of the drives by checking them through the
BIOS configurations....the BIOS recognizes that the HD is
there. What other options do I have? Thanks!

- Windows XP >> Cannot logon as more than one userHello
I cannot login as more than one user in Windows XP.
I am using XP Professional on a ThinkPad T41.
I have not used Fast User Switching on my laptop, and I am now using my
laptop at a new job. The IT guy set up a new user account for use at work so
I could access network files and recommended that I user fast user switching
to switch back and forth between my work account and personal account to use
Outlook, etc.
At first I was unable to even click in through the "User Accounts" options
to tick the boxes for using the Welcome Screen and fast user switching,
because when I tried I was given an error. I was able to fix the error by
uninstalling and reinstalling IBM'S Access Connections program.
Next, I would tick the Fast User Switching box and hit apply but when I
logged back in the box would be unticked. I went to Kelly's Korner and was
able to fix that problem.
<b>Now</b>, the problem is that when I click "Switch User" and go to the
Welcome screen, I cannot log on to another username. I enter the password and
hit enter and the screen goes blue briefly and kicks me back to the Welcome
screen. I am only able to log back in to the account name that I came from.
I have seen screenshots of the Welcome screen with "logged on" below the
usernames that are logged on, and when I click Switch User and go to the
Welcome screen, none of the names say "logged on," not even from the account
that I am using at the time.
It seems to me that the problem is that I am not being allowed to log on as
more than one user at a time, and I have searched and searched and cannot
find an answer to the problem.
Thanks.

- customize >> Drive letters - how to change?Hello there: I've received excellent help here before, hope you can assist
again.
I've purchased a new hard drive. I made an image (with BootitNG utility) of
my old xp pro. 4 gig. partition. I then formatted the new disk with one 6
gig. ntfs partition, and 4 other logical fat32 partitions (I want to dual
boot linux and need to share files). I installed the new disk as slave,
restored the image to the new 6 gig. partition, swapped the drives around
and booted from the new 6 gig. partition with no problem.
Here are the two situations that I would like help with:
First, the drive letters are not what I'd like them to be. Currently, the
primary ntfs partition on the master h/drive is E:. C: is still the
partition on the (now) slave drive. I'd like the partition I'm booting from
now to be C: but I don't know how to change it. All the other partitions,
well I can learn to live with those letters, but I'd like the primary,
active partition on the master to be C:
Second, the 4 gig. image restored onto the 6 gig. partition leaves 2 gigs.
'unallocated' according to Disk Manager. How can I get those to be used by
the operating system imaged onto that partition?
thanks for the help

- Windows XP Network >> Limited user account problemCan someone help with this problem, pls? I have a network of 11 Dell PCs
running XP Pro. They are all connected to a wireles router. They can all
connect to the internet and browse without problem, but only if I have logged
in as Administrator and switched user. If not, and the first and only log in
is by a limited user account, then the user can't type into the address bar
of IE, loses the Start menu and can't view the log off screen long enough to
click anything.
As a school, I don't want to keep logged in and it means i need to assign
admin rights to teachers so they can log in and switch user before lessons.
This is a huge security risk as they keep letting students see their password.
Many thanks for any help.
Mark
