- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> ChkDskI have winXP, with 128mb of Ram and a 80gb HDD that has 6 partitions.
C-drive is the OS drive and D-drive is where all programs are installed.
All other drives are for data.
I have had this setup for about a month and it has been running smoothly.
Yesterday when the PC was started, it ran ChkDsk which was not scheduled. I
noticed it only ran the first 3 parts of ChkDsk instead of the normal 5
parts. After running ChkDsk, XP booted normally and everything looked fine.
I went to D-drive and tried to run Defrag. I got the message, "Cannot
perform defrag as D-drive is scheduled to run ChkDsk on the next reboot".
Again it had not been scheduled.
Then I did schedule both F-drive and D-drive to run ChkDsk on the next boot.
When rebooted, both the drives ran a complete ChkDsk. I then defragged
F-drive which defragged normally. When D-drive was selected to defrag, the
same message was received. Each boot, D-drive still runs the first 3 parts
of ChkDsk.
I ran a restore to 4 days previous to the problem starting, but the problem
still persists. Running ChkDsk only seems to be on D-drive as all others
are performing normally. BTW I do not have the HP scanner referred to in
Windows Knowledge base.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening and how to fix the problem?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Auto LogonI recently did a clean install of WinXP on a new hard drive with one user,
myself. It logged on automatically but, as I am populating it with software,
it has stopped logging on automatically. I suspect something called Genie
Backup Manager and have removed it but to no avail.
I download TweakUI to set the AutoLogon and it works once but not the second
time I boot up. I then sussed that TweakUI altered the setting in the
Registry at: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\AutoAdminLogon from 0 to 1.
I tried this manually and it worked once but not subsequently. It seems that
the problem is that something is not letting the changes to the registry be
saved so they are lost when I shut down. I also noticed that I can no longer
sort the Start/Programmes list on the sub-menu.
Any ideas what is upsetting the registry or how I can force the changes to
be saved or what I can do to find out what is causing the problem?

- Windows XP Network >> Can't VPN or RD for 5 min. after logon?Since installing XP SP2, I can not establish an outgoing VPN or
RemoteDesktop connection for 5 minutes (exactly 300 seconds AFAIK) after
XP logon. Does anyone know why? Before SP2, I could do either as soon
as USERINIT.EXE ended, which was (still is) only a few seconds after
logon. Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> port setupHi all
I am a new user to xp pro and have a small problem with setting up comm
ports
I do a manual comm port setup for my modem which works just fine under 98SE
then do a reboot as it suggests, when the system comes back up it dumps my
port configuration and then says new hardware found and sets up 2 comm 4's
and an extra LPT1. both comm ports then have the yellow exclamation mark.
Is there a way to force my port configuration and disable the autodection
phase, setting up the 2 bogus comm4's and the extra LPT1
other than that glitch the system is flyin
Thanks

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Since auto update installed CD Max, files won't save ... :>(MM 2.0.3312.0
Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2
Pentium 4 / 3-GHz
512 MB RAM
40-GB available HDD
I've used MM for some time, on files up to 100 MB, without problems, until
Windows auto update installed the CD Max patch. Since then, any file over 5
MB
goes into an infinite wait when saving to computer. The panel displays a
hard drive file definition to save into, but a top line message says, e.g.,
... preparing to save file to CD ROM - 9743286 estimated mins to save.
I uninstalled the CD MAX application in Control Panel / Add-Remove ...,
which completed normally per messages. After a reboot, the CD-Max logo still
appeared in the Save Movie panel, and the preceding CD-RoM save message still
appears in MM.
Any assistance appreciated. I'm in the process of converting family movies
for our children, and want to finish before the family reunion in August. If
MM can't be fixed in a timely manner, what other commercial software package
would do the trick, to enable me to finish. I'm AV-challenged, so simple
apps are good ... :>)
Thanks ... EZ

- Windows XP Support >> Windows Takes Ages to LogonLast night i restarted my pc and now it takes about 15 mins for windows to

- Windows XP Network >> How to make network adapter promiscuous?Running a Dell Dimension 3000, with built-in LAN adapter.
When running Suse Linux 9.2 on the machine, I tell Ethereal to operate
promiscuously, and I can see all the traffic on the LAN segment.
When I run Ethereal under Win XP Pro (with all the updates), again with
promiscuous enabled, all I can see is broadcast traffic and any traffic
to/from the Dell.
So it's obvious that the network adapter is not actually running
promiscuously under Win XP, even though I enabled it in Ethereal.
Any ideas on how I can persuade Win XP to switch the NIC into
promiscuous mode?

Go to Control Panel/User Accounts and click on "Change the way users log on
or off". Check the "Use the Welcome Screen".
Hope this helps,

Windows XP Security >> Welcome screen help!!
Oops! My problem is that mine are not checked, but the Welcome screen comes
up fine. I had to disable the Gateway desktop theme in order to make it
come up, but even when I check both boxes Windows does not keep the check
marks.
If you are not using one of the Windows standard Desktop themes, try using
one of them to see if that solves the problem.

- Windows XP >> Xp professional ,administratorI have been using the 'Administrato'r as the User Account since installing
the program. The program has now decided not to allow me to copy anything to
CD with out the approval of the 'Administrator'. Odd because there were no
User Accounts set up. I have now set up a user account, but now I carn't find
my data/documents/emails which I created for the last year under
'Administrator'.
How do I access the information previously saved under 'Administrator
Account'?
How do I set up the Account to allow me to copy to CDs without Administrator
approval?

- Windows XP Support >> Remote Desktop failedI have been using my laptop and a desktop on my LAN to connect using Remote
Desktop(RD) to a third desktop for2 years. I took my laptop on a trip and
used it to check email using my browser on the hotel's LAN. I am using SP2
Firewall on all. On my return, the laptop had some problems. Initially I
couldn't get into files nor print on my third desktop and RD kept telling me
that the machine didn't exist or the ip address is wrong. After several
re-boots, I now can access files and use the remote printer from my laptop
but RD still won't work. Suggestion appreciated.

- Windows XP Hardware >> No USB port option for adding a printerMy Lexmark z25 cannot be installed for some reason. When I
plug the USB cable into the port, Windows XP (sp1 with USB
updates) detects it as 'inkjet color printer' but the
software included cannot detect the printer. I tried to
add the printer manually through windows, but when it asks
me to select a port, no USB port is available (only LPT,
COM and FILE ports are available) Is there a USB update
that I need? All my other USB devices work properly
(wireless keyboard and mouse, webcam, DV recorder link,
however I believe all of these are plug and play, where
the printer is not) Any help would be most appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Cannot switch between open windows. Help!Sorry for duplication. My original post has

Windows XP Home
PIII 448 Mhz
384 mg RAM
When I have multiple windows open, I periodically (about
75% of the time at least) lose the ability to switch
between windows. I can click on the open window button at
the bottom of the screen but it will not switch to the
window I select. Alt-Tab does not work either.
Any suggestions?
Currently the only workaround is to minimize all windows
and I can then select the one I want successfully.
This is driving me crazy. Thanks for any help.

- Windows XP Setup >> problems with viewing items on webpagesHi. I am needing some help in trouble shooting a problem
that no one has been able to shed light on. I don't know
what newsgroup to pick so I hope this one is ok. Over
the past month, I have suddenly noticed that alot of
webpages I try to visit, including my own home page have
a red small "X" in the spot where I believe a picture,
caption, heading, ect should be. I have no idea why this
has suddenly happened as prior to July, I had no problem
viewing anything. I wonder if I have a plug in problem
or something. I noticed that this only happens on some
pages as on others, the graphics are fine. Why would
this have suddenly occurred and how can I correct it?
This is not inpart to video or anything, just your basic
data from web page to webpage. Thank you.

wizard, however, the three buttons at the bottom are blank. If I click the
third button, it cancels the wizard, but the other two don't do anything at
all. I even tried disabling the virus program (MacAffee) and firewall to see
if that was the problem, but it didn't work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
