- Windows XP >> Compaq 1750 - Windows XP HomeIntel Pentium D 820
Dual Core Processor

- customize >> Keyboard clashing with sound!I'm having problems with the sound on my system. I have the following -
Windows XP Home Edition
3.02 gig Intel Pentium 4
1024 Megabytes Installed Memory
120 Gigabytes Hard Drive
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
The problem is while any audio is playing, from any program, any of the keys
that are pressed on the keyboard interfere with the sound causing it to
break up, and if I'm playing a game then game play is effected as well. The
game will pause or run very slow while any key is pressed on the keyboard.
Everything runs fine as long as I'm not using the keyboard. I've tried using
different keyboards with no luck. Could someone please advise me on how to
fix this problem.
Much Obliged

- Windows XP Network >> DNS problemDNS on dial-up connection on laptop stops working after
going through Home Network wizard. Can connect to ISP
through dial-up connection and ping by IP address but not
name. When do IPCONFIG /all shows DNS servers assigned
by ISP but does not appear to be using them. Tried
ipconfig /flushdns but no affect. Any suggestions.

- Windows XP Network >> VoIP Mac AddressesI recently purchased a Linksys PAP2 phone adapter but cannot get it to work
through my Linksys WRT54GS router. I ensured a good ISP interface with both
of my wireless PCs (encrypted) also using the router.
When I activated the service I don't recall entering the MAC address but the
voice response menu verifies the correct address if I enter the code but that
may be just info stored within the phone adapter unit itself and not coming
from the Vonage site.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I also tried entering the port
ranges on the Linksys site but still no joy. So far, Vonage has not been
much help but I can tell I'll need to spend more time working this issue with
them.
As a side note, my Linksys 802.11 a+g network adapters came up first go
around and continues to operate like a champ!!

I am using WinXP pro, all patched up.
How can I set the security/sharing sections for folders to advanced mode? I

I am used to win2k where I can edit all settings for folders, not forced to
a 'basic' mode.
Also, in control panel - Users, I'm stuck in 'basic' mode. I cant edit the
users nicely, I have to stick to XP's basic options.
Any help is much appreciated!!!

Windows XP Support >> AUTOEXEC.NT ?
When I try to install some downloaded Application files, an Error box pops
up to say:
16 bit Windows Subsytem:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose "Close" to terminate the
application.
I am using Windows XP (Home Edition) on DELL 2.4ghz with 256 RAM.
Please advise how do I resolve the problem. Many thanks and best regards

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit
Windows-based program:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767&Product=winxp
This can also be caused by malware.
Also, AVAST (antivirus software) can be the cause if you have WinXP SP2
installed:
http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=8PCdnSzBqtmadsPcRVn-gQ%40comcast.com
You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt/config.nt by
copying a backup copy held in %windir%\repair\ to %windir%\system32\
(%windir% is typically C:\Windows) instead of using the procedure in
the KB article above.

This is a remnant from a virus removal.
Fix
Copy the autoexec.nt and the config.nt files from ?C:\Windows\Repair? into
the ?C:\windows\system32? folder

Also can be caused by a Trojan installing a file windupdater.exe and
creating registry entries for that file.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Serious burning issuesI am having a big problem and I desperately need your
help. I am unable to burn a cd anywhere in my house. I
have 2 computers in my house. I thought it might have
just been the burner of the first computer when it didnt
work, but now I have moved to my second PC, and nothing
will burn on it either. So I have tried 2 computers, 3
different burners, 3 different cd burning softwares,
(nero, easy cd creator 5.3.5 platinum, and nti), tried
different files and different burning speeds, even the
lowest speed on all drives. I even tried 3 different
kind of cd media in case that was the problem. This
started all a sudden, please I have no idea what the heck
it could be. I have XP Pro on both machines, and they
are not networked in any way. Also, I've tried Music and
Data, and nothing works. One of my systems is P4 2.4,
768 Ram, 40Gb hard drive, so I dont think that's the
problem. Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

- Windows XP Network >> domain and workgroupsI, too, need to access a domain network at work and a workgroup
network at home. Here's what happens: to join the domain at work I
have to go into mycomputer properties, computer name and choose the
"domain" option. Once I am part of that domain, when I get home, my
laptop no longer sees the workgroups at home. If I go back and change
mycomputer name from "domain" to workgroups, then I can see them, but
then when I go back to work I have to get the network adminsitrator to
joint me to the work domain all over again. How can I have both?
Many thanks,

stopping working. When i start the computer everything
works fine but after a while it stops working. When i go
into network connections and try to look at the status of
the connection i can't because it just opens for about 1
second and then disappears. When i try to disconnect it
it tells me i can't because it is disconnecting. this is
a real annoyance. the only way i have found to get it
working again is to restart the computer. i am able to
ping the adsl router than i am connected to and my laptop
which is connected to the adsl router as well but i just
can't get an internet connection. i can get it always on
the laptop.

- Windows XP Update >> IE 6 (I think) troublesI can use my IE for simple tasks but have a multitude of problems. First
noticed that I could not download a file like a RoboForm update or a Yahoo
photo program. I installed Mozilla Firefox to do my downloads. I couldn't get
to this page using IE. I saved the address and am using firefox. Probably
should start with the root items that I've discovered. When I do About IE to
get vers #, I get blank. When I have tried to manage favorites, I get
nothing. I do NOT have (or cannot find) my Information Bar. I do remember
seeing it a lot in the past but not now. I considered downloading IE7. First
step required was to right click info bar and retrieve Active X control. No
info bar. I'm using free Zone Alarm and Norton System Works with up-to-date
registration. I have set default values for IE Security. If someone could
help me identify the fixes needed for the simple stuff, maybe it will take
care of it all! Many thanks.
