- Windows XP Support >> Help & Support hangsHi.
My Help & Support Center no longer works as it should (I am using XP
Home). When I open it (from the Start menu or via F1), nothing seems to
happen. Then, after a few minutes, the help center does open, but when I
type something in the search field and hit Enter, the windows turns all
white and the programme stops responding.
I have tried all the suggestions at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com, but
nothing has helped. I also found a KB article that described the
symptoms, but the only available solution was to install the latest SP,
and I already have that.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I don't remember when it
started, but it used to work.

- Windows XP >> runas.exe /savecred IssueHi All,
XP Professional
I've been using runas for some desktop shortcuts. Mostly VB apps. This has
been working great for a couple weeks now except lately one user has been
getting prompted for the Administrator password when trying to launch the
mentioned VB app.
Nobody else is having the problem.
The PC's were set up at the same time and all apps were set to runas
Adminstator. I put in the passwords myself when launching the app for the
first time. Nobody else has experienced any problems except this one user.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> IEEE 1394 adaptor card. Driver will not loadI have fitted an PCI to Firewire IEEE 1394 host adaptor
card to system. When started message appears "New
hardware found" however driver will not load. Device
manager indicates error "Device not configured correctly
Code 1" Have read K.B. Article 125174 which indicates
problem is with loading driver, however have followed
instructions but will not load. Have tried three
different brands of card yet all experience the same
problem. Manufactures advise that it is problem with
system loading driver. Has anyone experienced the same
problem which I understand is fairly common.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> [Error number: 0x80072EE4]Error message received during update of Windows.
Both 'discussion' and 'troubleshooter' do not recognize
this error number, although in a list of error numbers
there are a few similar. Email to Microsoft has produced
no response re: error number 0x80072EE4.
Has anyone gotten this error message before? What does it
mean? How can the error be resolved? Can future updates
be completed WITHOUT the service pack 2 we were
attempting to download?

- Windows XP Setup >> Task Scheduler and Norton SystemWorksI cannot get Norton SystemWorks Profession 2004 to do a daily virus scan.
It was easy to do with Norton SystemWorks 2002 and Windows 98.
I have called Norton Help, and not wanting to pay, all they would tell me
was that it was a Windows XP problem. I have researched their database, as
they suggested, and found no resolution.
I currently have a virus scan scheduled to run daily at 3:00 am. The last
time it ran was 5-20-04 and is scheduled to run next on 5-29-04. I have
other tasks scheduled, none on a daily basis, and they seem to run as
scheduled. There is no status indicated for any of the schedules.
Here is the task currently scheduled to run:
C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NORTON~1\Navw32.exe /task:"C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton
AntiVirus\Tasks\mycomp.sca"

- Windows XP >> disj consistency check takws agesRunning xp, p4 3.0 Ghz and 512 mb Ram. Upon restart after a power switch off
shut down, the system checks for consistency on the fat32/ntfs system. Just
wondering how it will take to do this as mine took more than 6 hours to do
such a check.
I do not know where/how/when did I mess up the system. The only thing change
was the graphic card, which I do not think it should affects the system and
after that doing the same thing as kids usually do, play games. Load the
default in bios, its the same. Any idea as how to resollve the issue, thanks

- Windows XP Network >> Networking/Hard DriveHi
I removed my hard drive from a dsl account, I am wondering
should I have used sysprep to prepare the drive for
removal from the network. I did this to format the drive
(it was acting funky) and thought that it might have been
infected. I then did a low level format with all zeros I
followed up with a fresh install from a cd-rom boot, only
it would not see it at booting it would fly right by the
boot from cd rom question that it asked. So my question
is, is sysprep a program that might have helped me in this
episode (Ticket) Oh I mention all this because I read once
that the sid# is involved with sysprep I am guessing for
sercurity reasons and removing the drive with all things
considered may have responed better when the reinstall was
attemped.
Thanks

Windows XP Setup >> Safe Mode
Hi,
You can follow thses steps to go to safe mode.
Its just because Safe mode option loads a minimal set of drivers. You can
use these options to start Windows so that you can modify the registry or
load or remove drivers.
To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps: 1. Restart your computer and
start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured
for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you
the Boot Menu appears.
2. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then
press ENTER.
3. When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in
blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then
press ENTER.

Windows XP Setup >> Safe Mode
Hi,
Well i would like to tell you that safe mode is a mode where we troubleshoot
the services and drivers. In this mode many services are disabled. Thats is
the reason you are unable to install it in safe mode.. Please try to install
it in normal mode.
Please reply and let me know.

- Windows XP >> lost category viewHi
I will try to explain the problem more clearly. When I
click the path: Start>Control Panel, I get a window with
the control options listed in list mode in the right
column and in the left which is blue I only get the "See
Also" drop down option. There used to be another drop
down above this one with "category view" as an option,
but this no longer appears.
I did not know it could be turned off. How do I retrieve
it?

- Windows XP Setup >> Is a floppy drive necessary for the transfer wizard?When using the files transfer wizard, I plan to create a wizard disk on CD in
the new computer so I can run it on the old one to complete the transfer and
then connect the 2 with a USB cable. The floppy drive on my old computer
doesnâ??t work. Will that matter at all, or should the wizard just transfer the
files through the cables without me having to store anything on the floppy?

- Windows XP Network >> WinXP with Windows 2000 Server HangsI have just migrated from a Server 4.0 platform to Server

machines will not work. If I was to unplug the network
cable, log in, let everything load and then plug the
network cable back in, the computer runs fine. But if do
the same thing with the network cable plugged in before I
log in, the machine locks up as soon as I try to load a

Has anybody had this problem before and know what the fix
is?
Thank You.

- Windows XP >> Error 5009 - No definition of "objWMP"I like listen to Microsoft Webcasts and seminars from the following web
pages:
http://www.microsoft.com/seminar/default.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/seminar/events/webcasts/ondemand.mspx
Unfortunately, when I am tiring to do that I get the the following message:
Error 5009 - No definition of "objWMP"
I got this error many times. The only solution that I know is just
reinstalling the whole system.
After that everything is OK for some short period of time (maybe week or
two).
After that I am not able to listen the webcasts at all.
Does anybody know what the solution of that problem is?
I also reinstalled Windows Media Player 9.0 and nothing happened.

- Windows XP Network >> networkingMy pc is running on XP professional but with a problem
that i can't remove easily. The problem is that ,my LAN
connection is frequintly getting unpluged and in the next
moment its getting pluged. This pluging and unplunging
occures in almost every seconds when I turn on my pc.
Reinstallation of the network driver removes the problem
for a week, after that same scenareo repeats.
PLS suggest something about how to get rid of it.
N:B:- I have already tried window update which fails to
remove the problem.

- Windows XP Setup >> Application Information Popups (ie NOT internet popups)Can anyone help? (I do apologise if this has already been answered, but
trying to find this was hard, mainly giving me regular popups)
Many applications popup [Yes | No] Popups or [Cancel | Continue] etc, etc
and while a machine is not doing anything else these are fine, but when you
are busy typing often any key, or an Enter will choose the default offered.
I find this rather annoying when I am busy typing something (like this) and
you see something pop up and before your brain can read and answer it and
click the answer you've already typed something and your choice has been made
for you.
My question is, can these be sent to the background (like MSN Messenger
behaves when a new contact types something - it DOES NOT annoy you but waits
behind until you are ready).
Unfortunately (sorry, I'm an Aussie and we usually ask and answer a question
in the same breathe - "How you doing? Alright!") I guess this may be down to
the application writers ("oh we'll be smart, we'll pop it up above ANY other
application, even the current one they are using").
Has Vista looked in to this?
Thanks heaps, I will get off of my soapbox now
And yes, I'm alright.
