- Windows XP Setup >> Install XP in a new PC that with FreeDos onlyFolk, need helps.
I bought a new PC that comes with FreeDos only.
Now I got myself Windows software in a CD .. and may I know, how do I
navigate through this DOS (black and white world) in order to install Windows?
I have no idea how to go about with DOS at all.
Thank you.

- Windows XP >> Windows Explorer and Send To problemsI have 3 problems that I just cannot seem to find any info
on how to fix them. I have had them for quite some time.
The first 2 are a real pain in the rear!! Please help!!
(1) A few seconds to a minute or two after I open My
Computer or Windows Explorer, my desktop icons and system
tray icons disappear for a few seconds. The desktop icons
re-appear ok but only 2 or 3 of the system tray icons
re-appear. The only way I know to fix this is either reboot
or log off and back on.
(2) If I am in Windows Explorer (not My Computer) and I
double-click on a drive in the right pane it opens it in a
new window even though I have it set to open in 1 window.
This isn't a problem in My Computer.
(3) My Send To menu is not sorted by name in the context
menu.
Thanks!

- Windows XP >> Info on troubleshooting a driver problemHi folks
I have a problem with running the Sims 1 game on a Windows XP Pro SP2
machine. I do not play this game often so I don't know when the
problem first appeared. From the looks of it, it seems as if it could
be a conflict between a display driver and the Sims game.
The game is fine until I go to the mode where I can build something on
a property (when switching to this mode the display normally changes
from showing a map to showing a property close up, with a menu on the
bottom). Instead of showing a coherent picture the screen displays
pieces of the whole, with some blank or blank squares randomly placed
on the screen.
No other applications are running on the computer when this happens.
A couple of questions I would like to ask troubleshooting this type of
issues:
1. Is there a utility that can help me to find out if a dll or a
driver has been loaded into a memory address used by another dll or
driver?
2. Does anyone know of any good books that would give more info about
troubleshooting driver/dll conflicts?
thanks,
JJ

- Windows XP >> Quick Launch toolbar won't stayOn a home edition XP2 system with current updates, my quick launch toolbar
setting disappears with each reboot.
I have reset it through the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties function.
I have set it by right clicking on the quick launch space and selecting
'quick launch'.
I have gone into 'Documents and Settings\ \Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch' to make sure that the 'quick
launch' folder exists.
But it still reverts to not being selected each time I reboot.
Would appreciate some help on this one. Thank you.

- Windows XP >> New XP Security UpdatesI recently installed the 823559 & 817606 Security updates
realeased by M$ and immediately after installation noticed
that my hard drive or something began clicking every few
seconds. I restarted the machine several times to no
avail and eventually decided to rollback the machine to
before the updates. NOTE - before installing any M$
updates I always make a restore point now. After I rolled
back the machine the problem stopped.
My question>? Does anybody have any idea exactly what
these updates are SUPPOSED to do and why they might affect
my hard drive?

- Windows XP Security >> password a folderIs there a way in XP Pro to password protect a folder?

- Windows XP >> XP Home Licensing QuestionI bought a Compaq system preloaded with Windows XP Home. The system is out
of warranty, and has a bad motherboard. It's easier to buy a new board and
processor than have Compaq replace the old board.
Here's my question. I have a non-useable system I am gutting to make a new
one. I purchased an XP Home license with the Compaq device but all's I got
is a restore CD. I believe I have legally purchased a license and should be
able to transfer to another pc.
How have people handled this?
- 15
- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Internal ErrorEverytime I attempt to download and install Windows Movie
Maker 2 I get the error message "Internal Error 2755,
1601" If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let
me know... my pc has a previous version of Windows Movie
Maker and I'm trying to update it to the most current
version.

Windows XP Support >> Help with STOP Error: 0x0000008E
XP SP2 on a Toshiba Tablet. Nothing added in 4+ yrs (just all software
updates) but have increasing blue screen issue.
After quite a bit of researching, I have gone through all the possible - and
known - causes of this stop error, which now occurs within 8-10 minutes of
every bootup unless in safe mode. I have determined that the memory address
where the errors always occur is: 0x805A1F33. Now how do I find out what
driver is located at that address so I can fix the problem?
Thank you for your assistance!

Yes, I did. Nothing there that applies to my exact situation. I'm pretty
sure it's a driver, but have been unable to ID which one while in safe mode.
I know that the codes I am seeing include a reference to the memory address
where the error occurred, and I know which code tells me that info. Now, how
do I find out what is resident at that address (presumably a driver.)
Thanks!

You can use this driver verifier command:
verifier.exe click [OK]
First try to eliminate hardware, by going to Device manager and check by
expanding the Plus [+] to see all devices listed, if there is a
malfunctioning device or conflicting device it will show in Device manager.
Scan your operating system for malware and viruses with an up2date
protection software. Check with the company that their server okay and your
credential not being changed.
Look in the event Viewer for error messages(X) that can help in discovering
the culprit.

Thank you for taking the time to share all this info, but no, it doesn't
answer my specific question. I now think I should have posted this with a

I have not deleted the partition that vista was on but i still get

Could any one tell me how to remove teh boot up as i only have XP on my

- Windows XP Hardware >> Success recovering corrupted HD hard drive (NTFS)FWIW I managed to destroy the file structure on an NTFS 300GB drive -
perhaps by accidentally unplugging the USB cable to the external box.
The drive was nearly full, including a video project that was in work.
I bought FinalDataPlus 2.0 after messing with the demo. In its most
aggressive mode it took something like 24 hours to scan the disk, and
while it reported finding a bunch of files and "recovered" some of
them, only the smallest ended up being valid files. I then started a
different scan mode and it went faster and found more files (including
the important many-GB files I needed) but again the recovered files
were corrupt.
My second try was Restorer2000. The free demo scanned the drive in an
hour or so and listed most of the files. Like FinalData the demo only
allows recovery of tiny files and thus isn't much of a test, but I
sprang for a paid copy. Nice to report, 100% success so far. All the
recovered files actually are correct.
Another plus was that after downloading the paid version (more than
just a key I could plug into the demo) and thinking I'd have to start
over with the drive scan, when I opened it, it had inhierited all the
information about the drive that the demo had extracted, so I was
ready to recover. Fingers crossed, of course. Unless I don't know
where the button is, when you exit FinalData after having scanned a
drive for 24 hours, whatever you learned disappears.

- Windows XP Support >> Internet Explorer can't find any pages?I've just installed XP and SP2 and all the updates. I have a Broadband
connection and downloaded the latest drivers. I can connect to my ISP and
log on to my home page but only once when I open IE but it can't find any
pages nor will it open the search page after the initial page. I've emptied
the cache and refresh doesn't work. My ISP has checked all my settings and
they are OK. The firewall did ask me about a few files ootuqq.exe,
pingppac.exe and winmgr but it still wont find pages whether or not I block
these. Funny thing is if I ping from the command screen I get replies so it
seems I am connected to my ISP server OK. Anyone any ideas or should I stick
with W2K Pro.? I'm sending this on a different computer if anyone wonders
how I can post messages and yet IE doesn't work.
Thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> How do I know which disk drive it is based on Windows' event logs?Example: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\D during a
paging operation.
Is this labelling based on the order in My Computer's Manage -> Disk
Management? Because I don't see a Disk 3. So I am confused on how
Windows label disk drives. I do have three physical HDDs with seven
total drives/partitions (C: to I:) + two CD/DVD drives (M: and N:).
Thank you in advance. :)

anti-virus/firewall program. When the update is installed,

How important is the security update? What exactly does it
fix? Is my PC safe without it?

- Windows XP >> Windows Installer is not workingI'm trying to upgrade to Microsoft Office XP, and when I
put the CD in, I get an error message "The Windows

- Windows XP Network >> Can't access shared foldersHi there,
I've had an ongoing problem with sharing files on my laptop for some time
now.
Essentially what happens is when I connect my laptop to a network but
computer is can be seen on the network workgroup but when I click on it (on
someone else's computer) I get asked for an ID and PASSWORD.
This is not normal. When I click on other people's computers I get immediate
access to their shared resources. No one, however, can access my shared
resources.
Even if I type in my username and password it doesn't accept that when
trying to access my shared resources from another computer.
I am not sure what I can change or remove in order to permit others to
access my computer on a LAN.
FYI - I am proficient and experienced on windows and networking etc. Just
can't seem to figure this one issue out though.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan

My computer's registry has about a hundred such entries with data referring

locations like "C:\ ... \My Documents", where they once were, but have since
been moved or deleted.
Can registry entries of the above kind be safely deleted? ... Should they
be deleted?
