- Windows XP >> multiboot problem with 64bitI recently installed windows 64bit on my hard drive...........no problem.
I then installed a second harddrive................no problem.
I then tried to install windows xp pro on the second
hardrive..........problem.
No matter what i do eg reformat the drive, everytime I get to the install
part of the setup menu, I get a message telling me that none of my hardrives
are windows compatable !
I have run out of patience and ideas, can anyone tell me what might be
happening.
Is the 64 bit version the problem?
I have used Acronis disc director to change the drive from primary to
logical and then primary/active and even created a new partition on the new
hardive but nothing works.
Hope someone can help.

- Windows XP Network >> have to 'repair' connection each time I start upI'm having an odd Internet problem: When I start up, I
have no Internet connection: no Web, no email. When I go
to Network Connections, right click on Local Area
Connection and hit Repair, it then works. But then next
time I start up again, I have the same problem and have
to "Repair" it again. What's going on?
I'm operating XP Home, and I have a cable modem
connection (time warner RoadRunner). I connect through a
router; my roommate's computer, which also connects
through the router, is having no connection problems.
I don't know if this is a clue, but I've noticed
something else since I've had this problem: My computer
suddenly takes a REALLY long time to start up. It gets to
the point where my desktop is showing, and a couple of my
system tray icons are showing, and then gets stuck for a
minute or two. Oddly enough, the windows start-up sound
doesn't even happen until after this time. Then the last
couple system tray items show up (Norton Antivirus and
Sygate Personal Firewall), and I'm fully started up.
Except that I can't get to the Internet. As I've
mentioned.
Can anyone help?

- Windows XP Support >> User logoff "dead"I have just reformatted and setup WinXP Pro SP2 (version 5.1.2600 and loaded
up most of my usual software; and set up for 3 family users.
The problem is when you click on the logoff button absolutely nothing
happens (no error msge or anthing) and have to use CTRL ALT DEL to logoff.
'Switch User' works ok except ofcourse the exit user is then shown as still
logged on.
There doesnt seem to be a lot of info on this situation. I did try using UPH
Clean but no improvement.
Any suggestion how to overcome this would be much appreciated - is system
repair
an option maybe ?
Thanks v.much

- Windows XP Basic >> Different start up OptionsI am trying to find a way to be able to start/restart my PC with

time.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> installing a driver--howA friend of mine recently got a computer with XP HOME.
He also attached an old Panasonic dot matrix printer (KXp-1123).
Anyway, it works well but not perfectly. For example, if he uses WORD or
WORKS and sets the page at 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 it still thinks it is 8 1/2 by 11.
I suspect he does not have the right driver.
I did a google search and it sounds like that driver should come with XP. So
I then searched my own C drive and found pakx1123.qpd located in
C:\i386\DRIVER.cab
That's on MY computer and I assume it is the correct driver. I will also
assume I can find that file on his computer.
My question: How can I tell if that driver is already installed and if it
is not installed how do I install it??

- Windows XP Network >> Automatically Connect - WirelessI've setup a wireless network now using a new Dell Laptop with Intel Centino
with Windows XP SP2.
More often that not when I shutdown my laptop or restart it doesn't
automatically connect to the Wireless network upon startup.
I have to right click the connection and hit repair, then it works fine.
On the router I disabled broadcasting the SSID and also set it to "hide".
Also restricted access via MAC addresses & enforced WPA. I've also made sure
the "automatically connect when within range" is setup.
Anyone have any clues ?

No. The CommonDialog File Open/SaveAs dialog cannot be customized. This =

- Windows XP Update >> UpdatesA short while ago, SP2 autoupdate on my wife's computer downloaded Media
Player 10 and asked if she wanted to install it.
The same day, SP2 auto-update on my computer downloaded Media Player 9
(which I already had) and asked me if I wanted to install it.
There seems to be no way either autoupdate, Windows Update or Media
player's own update search can be persuaded to find Media Player 10. I
know I can download it, but that seems to defeat the object of the
update procedures.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Formatting used hard driveI have Windows XP Home Edition with a 40 GB hard drive. My
old computer used Windows 98 and had one of the first
pentiums, and Windows 98 only registered 7.5 GB for a 30
GB hard drive. I installed the 30 GB drive in my new
computer and tried to format it. Windows XP would not let
me format the drive and it also registered 7.5 GB with XP.
I have removed/delete all the files from the 30 GB drive
and still XP will not let me format it. I want to be able
to format the 30 GB drive and have it display 30 GB. What
do I have to do to accomplish this? The 30 GB drive was
formated with FAT32.

- Windows XP >> Difference Between Home Edition and Professional EditionHi
Can, I found information on what is the difference between Home Edition and Professional Edition. Since, I am setting up a Network at home with Windows 2003 server and XP Home Edition, am not sure according to MCSE curriculum I need to have XP Professional to work and practice on it. So, I am just assuming whether it is ok to work with Home edition connecting to the WIN2003 Server
Or, if I have to have professional edition then I may have to buy the software to proceed with it
thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> using partitionsHad to have a m/b upgarde and when I got the pc back from the repair the hard
drive had been partitioned into C: & D: ___ Everything (XP and all files for
3 users) is on C: with D: completely empty.
Can I just move all the "Files Stored on This Computer" over to D: and when
I click on "My Documents" on the Start Menu will the files show up or is it
more complicated than that ?
Thanks for your advice.

- Windows XP >> cleaning up C drive and window viewsTwo questions please.
1) My C drive is loaded with files the look
like "$NTUninstallQxxxxxxx$" with the "x"s being numbers.
What are they and can they be safely deleted?
2) I like to open some windows as thumbnails, some as
icons, some as a list, etc., but quite often they revert
on the next reboot to another type of view. Is there a
way of having them remember my preferences?
Thanks.

- Windows XP >> Where Can I Buy a Zombie PC?The answer is ... pretty much anywhere. If you can purchase a PC that runs
Windoze XP, you've got the potential to have your very own Zombie PC.
"Four-fifths of spam now emanates from computers contaminated with Trojan
horse infections, according to a study by network management firm Sandvine
out this week. Trojans and worms with backdoor components such as Migmaf
and SoBig have turned infected Windows PCs into drones in vast networks of
compromised zombie PCs.
Sandvine reckons junk mails created and routed by "spam Trojans" are
clogging ISP mail servers, forcing unplanned network upgrades and stoking
antagonism between large and small ISPs."
