- Windows XP >> Opposite of blaster!My clean install of WinXP Pro is 1 month old, but now I
cannot logoff or restart (opposite of blaster problem)!
When I select logoff or restart, the PC ignores me, so I
am forced to a hardware reset. I can wait over one hour
to prove it is not slow, it is ignoring my request to
logoff/restart.

- Windows XP Support >> Problem with Play Videos in Web PagesUnable to play videos in web pages. When I go to Tools, Internet Options,
Multimedia there is not a check box to tick (or the actual heading) to Play
Videos in Web Pages. I have contacted HP Help by email, and have done all
they suggested to resolve the problem. They now recommend System restore.
Instead of doing System restore, If I UPGRADED from Windows XP to Vista would
it be likely that I would still have the same problem?

- Windows XP >> Wireless Zero ConfigurationHave set up a Netgear Wireless BB connection in an office and during an
attempt to log back into the router for wep enabling purposes my own linksys
wifi card ceases to function. I cannot see any available wifi nets as windows
cannot configure my wifi card. I have been prompted to check the " Use
Windows to configure my wireless network settings " check box. I do not have
one. I am using XP home with SP2. and have tried to uninstall the wireless
card and reinstalled. No good. The check box for the " Use Windows to
configure my wireless network settings " just does not exist...? can anyone
help please?..
Any help is appreciated well in advance!!
Thanks

P.S. Got help from Brian, (Thanks B), and queried through the cmd prompt
whether WZC was active. I was returned the error 1060 and the message that
the specified service was not installed. Since I have re-installed the device
already and that has not solved the problem I am wondering where I might get
the softare to perform this function.
I have been on to Microsoft through their product support line and they are
willing to throw their opinion in at a cost of â?¬75 + VAT.
Is this the wall? or can I get over, under or around it?

- Windows XP Support >> Scheduled tasks and SysprepThere is the well documented problem of Scheduled Tasks that use a system
account not running on a PC that uses a Syspreped image but I have a
situation where neither Scheduled Tasks running under a system account OR a
user account will run. Also, the "Run As" box is greyed out so I don't have
the option to run as a different user. Any ideas as to sort this would be
much appreciated. My Sysprep reference machine runs XP PRO SP2 and I have
"Ghosted" it to eight machine which all have the same problem.
Thanks,
Steve.

- Windows XP >> WHJERE DO I FIND THE MONITOR TO UNINSTALL IN DEVICE MGRI ASKED A QUESTION AND THIS WAS THE RIGHT ANSWER I THINK EXXCEPT HE NEVER
CAME BACK AND TOLD ME EXACTLY WHATY TO INSTALL TO GET RID OF THE OLD MOTINTOR
DRIVERS (DELL 27" LCD) and make way for the gateway 19" stuff so that i could
log in without always being in safe mode
When you boot into Safe Mode, you do not use your systems video adapter in
other than SVGA mode (basic Windows Video Driver).
I believe the same with your monitor. Do you have the old monitor still and
have you tried to hook it back up?
Have you tried to uninstall the Monitor under Control Panel | System |
Hardware | Device Manager (in Safe Mode), reboot and see if Windows tries to
detect the new hardware?
Did you get any software for your monitor that you needed to load ... and
if, so did you check if there where any updates on the Manufacturers
web-site (not Windows ... a lot of times there driver updates for hardware
manufacturers is out-of-date)?

- Windows XP >> Vizact crashing with MSHTML.DLL error (IE6/XP)Hello,
Does Vizact have any known problems with either XP or IE6
because every time I try and save something in Vizact it crashes with
a MSHTML.DLL error. I have installed a full clean version of it having
bought a brand new copy cheaply yesterday and currently run FrontPage
2000 and the rest of Office 2000 Premium.
My computer has all the latest updates and patches, so I have no idea
how to get around this problem apart from downgrade my PC to Windows
98SE and IE5.5 because that's what I read somewhere as an ideal
environment for Vizact 2000. Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
Best,
Bill

- Windows XP Network >> svchost error at logon and no network connections availableHi,
My laptop (Tosh Sat Pro 6100 1.8GHz/1Gb) has been running
perfectly until this morning. The machine has both a
firewall (Kerio) and is running up-to-date anti-virus
software (Norton 2002).
Prior to the "Welcome to Windows" display, a "svchost.exe
Application Error (instruction 0x57d43c16 referenced
memory at 0x00000001. The memory could not be written"
message is displayed.
I am unable to see any Network Connection icons anwhere.
The devices appear in the Device Manager and can be
configured but are unable to connect to a network.
I've checked that all services are configured properly
and have tried loading the latest drivers available
(which are the ones being used previously anyway ...)
I've also followed all relevant threads in the Microsoft
KB
I can't access any of my System Restore either ...
It seems weird to be accesing an address of 0x00000001.
Any advice would be GREATLY apppreciated.
Kind regards,
Cam

Windows XP >> Control Panel display changes.
I've setup my XP Pro SP1 PC to show all folders in Details view, thru
Windows Explorer. But I don't want Control Panel to show in this format, so
i changed it to icon view.
It keeps reverting back to detailed view!? Why?
The setting "Remember each folder's view settings" is set with a tick.

- Windows XP >> Windows Desktop Search - no PDF indexing?I use and love the Windows Desktop Search. I was concerned that the
indexing would interfere or slow down my runnign applications but this has
not happened.
However on failing to find a PDF I have noticed in Indexing options/advanced
options/file types that thhe files extensions only go as far as "mda" which
obviously leaves out the prospect of indexing pdf files.
Can anyone advise me on this anomaly?

- Windows XP Security >> Where is the 2k/XP certificate store in the registry?To all-
PGP and other programs allow the app to be pointed to different locations
for the private key store, including a floppy/CD/USB token. Thus keeping
the private key off machine for added protection. If you want to decrypt a
PGP message, slip that USB token into the slot and startup the program.
It occurs to me that the very same thing could be done with EFS, *if*
a) the local machine/personal account store can be found
b) the registry can be changed to point to a different location.
Doing this would really enhance data protection on 2k/XP.
The weakness of EFS is , (2k) using a data recovery agent and unlocking the
private keys by a simple account log on; easy enough to hijack if physical
access can be gained.
If that can be changed by moving the certs off machine, then to access a
file, just slip that CD or USB token in to place, attempt to open, the
Registry says- "Look on E:\", it goes to E: and uses the private key there.
Does anyone know where in the Registry the local machine and personal
account certificates are stored and can it redirect cert location?
Thanks
Yours-

Any suggestions would be appriciated.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Synching musicI've got two live lip-sych performances that I'm making into a movie. To
enhance the sound quality, I'm overlaying the original music tracks on top of
the video. The first one worked extremely well, and I was able to synch up
the music track with the video. The second track however will not stay
aligned. I position the music track so that it is synched perfectly, but
upon playback, it's just a hair off every time. I already noticed that the
second track was not in the same format as the first (.wav), so I resaved it
in .wav format and that didn't help. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
