- Windows XP >> What services are required for IIS and DAO & MDAC etc?Hi there,
I have a real frustrating thing going on... and I have not managed to sort
it out.
Last week I installed a service pack onto an app I use a lot.
The SP basically wiped my computer out to the point where I thought my hard
drive was stuffed.
Over the course of 3 days I managed to actually get the computer working
enough (albeit very slowly --> 25+ mins just to boot up XP) and I removed
that program I suspect might be a fault.
This sorted it out.
I had to use MSCONFIG numerous times whilst sorting the computer out.
It would seem that MSCONFIG disabled all the SERVICES (as it is designed to)
but for some reason it did so perminantly... i.e. it did not restore them to
how they were previously set up.
I then had to get a list off the net explaining which services I needed to
put back into Manual Start and Auto start mode. All was well...
Yesturday, however, I went to run an .asp based website I have on my local
IIS setup. It has a database that it accesses. Yet I could not longer access
the database.
The Site db access test determines that it does not have the necessary
permissions...
Yet I have not changed the permissions.
I am wondering if there is a service that needs to be running in order for
ADO and MDAC and ODBC etc to work properly?
Does anyone know? Or is there somewhere I can read more on this?
I must say, I have tried starting all that various services that I think
could be related but nothing helped.
Perhaps a whole lot of permissions did get changed during that crash... no
idea. But I have ensured they are set up as instructed in the asp app I
have... no go through. Perhaps ADO / MDAC etc need certain permissions set?
Gosh... I have no idea really!!
Thanks a lot...
My business is on hold until I get this running again...
Regards,
Jonathan

Any help on the issue would be appreciated.

- Windows XP Hardware >> need a couple sys files from sp1.cabHi, I need some old 1394 driver related files from xp sp1.cab. Any one
still have that around on their drive? I need ohci1394.sys, 1394bus.sys
from c:\windows\driver cache\i386\sp1.cab on a PC that has a pre sp2
install; should be there even if sp2 was added later. I need this in
order to override the XP auto driver replacement so I can put a custom

- Windows XP Security >> Win XP SP1 prob - no mouseI just installed Windows XP SP1a, but when my Toshiba
laptop restarts, the cPad (touchpad with screen) and
mouse no longer work. While it is starting up, the cPad
screen turns on... but when the XP blue startup screen
comes on, it stops working and so does my wireless mouse.
When I uninstall SP1a, everything works fine again. What
can I do? Is it really necessary to have SP1a? Toshiba
says my model is compatible.
Help please!

- Windows XP Setup >> Desktop suddenly shrankI was tooling along with my laptop display set at 800x600,
when suddenly (it may have been a stray key combination)
*bam* my desktop shrinks to about 6 inches across.
I checked my display settings, and it still said 800x600.
If I jack it up to 1400x1050 and drag the corner of the
"screen," the desktop fills the laptop monitor again but of
course fonts, icons, graphics and windows are too small.
I've of course restarted and cold booted and it's the same.
I'm making do by jacking up my font sizes and setting
everything on "large icons," but some Web graphics and OS
windows are not sizeable and are almost unreadable.
Any ideas on how I can get the display back to normal?
Display looks normal on bootup, then shrinks as soon as
Windows kicks in.
Thanks for any ideas.

- Windows XP Security >> Autocomplete not functioning...I also posted this under "General".
After reinstalling XP and installing all applicable
service packs and patches, autocomplete does not function
in IE. I am posting this under XP because I am also
having problems with the remember password option in the
POP3 setup in Outlook so I think this is a general XP
issue rather than being isolated to IE.
Here is what I have tried:
1. Verified autocomplete settings in IE GUI.
2. Verified auyocomplete settings in registry.
3. Disabled and reenabled settings.
4. Ran all steps outlined in KB # 306895.
The only step that resolved the issue was creating a new
user. The KB article referenced above suggests copying
the profile from the new user to the existing user if
this resolved the problem. However, I do not want to
lose the other settings the current account has.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Taskbar corruptionFrequently, when I log in, I find the separators on the Taskbar are in the
wrong places. It is not possible to put them right because some of them have
crossed over others and can't cross back. I can fix the Taskbar by deleting
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2\
in the Registry and re-starting Explorer; but it is getting to be a real
pain because it happens almost every time I log in.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, or how I can monitor my system
to find which program is doing it?

- Windows XP Security >> Broken PC-domain trust, forget local admin passwordI have something strange here !
I have a winXP Pro member of domain 2k.
BUT the PC - domain trust is brouken. I can see the computer in AD but I can
not manage it remotelyand I am informed that the trust between domain and
computer is broken.
I now need to gain access to manage the computer without formating it, so to
manage to unjoin and rejoin the PC from the domain.
The problem is that I dont know the local admin password !!!
I renamed the explorer.exe to logon.scr file (using an other PC), and I have
this system access.
I run the computer management mmc, but the reset password window does not
open.
I run computer properties, but the network indedification boxes are gray.
I can run cmd and regedit
Can anybody help me to reset local admin password ?
Thank you in advanced

- Windows XP Network >> XP home networkingI've got a small office with a peer to peer network. I've been using one
computer as a psuedoserver to store common data. We did not have any
problems until we added a few more computers to the network. Now if more
then five or six computer try to access the "mapped" drive, I get the error
"no more remote connections can be made to this computer at this time becuase
there are already as many connections as this computer can accept". Is this
real??? Is there anything I can do to increase the number of connections? I
just bougt a server with Windows server 2003. I assume this won't be a
problem when I get it on line next week???

What happens when you try? If you get error messages, please quote the
exact text.
If you get an error message about being denied access, you need to take
ownership of the files.

- Windows XP >> XP WoesI constantly get errors about my paging file being too
small and its well over the recommended 766mb.
Frequently the start bar is inoperable at startup you

sometimes windows freezes completely. I am wondering if
this is characteristic of anything that can be easily
fixed or if i should just reformat the hard drive and

- Windows XP Network >> Hosts fileI would like to edit my hosts file on my Windows XP Pro computer. I would
like to specify the ip address, computer name, and I would also like to let
the computer know that this computer is a domain controller. Can someone give
me an example of the entry I would add to the hosts file?
I also have another question. Ok here's the situation. I have 2 routers, 1
server, and a few work stations. I have a cable modem internet connection
too. My workstations sit behind both routers. My server (webserver &
domaincontroller) only sits behind 1 of the routers. My question is...Is this
unsafe to have a domain controller sitting out there only behind 1 firewall?
Is there a better way (more secure) way I can set this up without having to
buy an additional server?

First, is it possible to do so without first whacking the entire hard drive? Second, will the install save all the settings and registry?

- Windows XP Support >> Computer turns itself on.My pc had been running fine until the other day when it began to turn itself
on. It happens after a complete shutdown. It is not a restart problem such as
I have read in some of the messages already posted and in the knowledge base
articles. It doesn't turn on immediately after shutdown; it can be an hour or
more after and even when it hasn't been on at all. It just switches itself
on.
The problem seems to have arisen since I installed a dialler to my internet
provider followed by a major download of critical updates (first time pc has
been online since it was built a year ago) plus I also installed AVG
antivirus, spybot, mailwasher, ad-aware and zone alarm. These are the only
changes made...no changes to hardware.
I have read various posts and knowledge articles but can't find anything
that quite fits my problem. I am not technically minded so please can you
