- Windows XP >> Harddisk activity after login?Hi,
for several weeks I have the following problem with my XP installation:
After logging in (Client for MS networks, only member of a workgroup, no
profiles an a server) there is hard disk activity for 1.5 minutes with high
system load. The funny thing is, that this behaviour only occurs on the
first login after system start. If I logout and in again, XP only needs a
few seconds.
I already deactivated the virus scanner, the firewall, all non Microsoft
services and the index manager). But nothing changes the behaviour. Maybe
you have a clue where else I could look?
Thanks for your help,
Alexander

has caused some things to malfunction on my system (Win XP
Home) including (maybe, maybe not...?) the appearance of
an "F" drive which, under "Properties" states that it is
full...but there IS NO other drive! I tried to delete it

etc...but I AM THE OWNER/ADMIN! Anybody got any
suggestions as to how to rid of this thing?? In addition,
my computer crawwwwwwwwwwlllls along now...i mean at a

- Windows XP Network >> Disable automatic dialing using Internet Connection SharingI have a computer with XP Home networked with another
computer with XP Pro. I am using a 56K modem for my
Internet connection. I have enabled Internet Connection
Sharing on the XP Pro computer. I am able to connect to
the Internet on the XP Home computer through the XP Pro
computer, however, everytime I log on to the XP Home
computer, if there isn't an Internect connection on the
XP Pro computer, one is automatically established. I
would like to disable this so that it only connects when
I open Internet Explorer. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Security/Sharing in WinXP Pro - only basicHi all,
I am using WinXP pro, all patched up.
How can I set the security/sharing sections for folders to advanced mode? I
cant edit any share permissions or folder security?
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 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!!

- 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 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 MovieMaker >> It keeps freezingWhenever I open a project or start trying to make another movie when I want
to preview it and press play WMM just freezes and doesn't do anything. It
must be something up with the title options or something but yea, I'd hate to
have to restart my current GMV because timing stuff to "Witchdoctor" is
rather tedious....
Does anyone here know what's wrong with it because right now i feel like
kicking the stupid thing. This is the first time ever that WMM has been
spazzing on me.
