- customize >> Upgrades and loosing DataI screwed Up I attempted an upgrade from win 98 to XP
pro. No matter what I did the upgrade would not go
through.
I then went through the pro installation everything went
well, my documents and all data was preserved in the xp
pro, however, all my old email mesagges were lost in
outlook express.
Is there any way this dim witted installer can retrieve
them.
Thank you very much for a response

- Windows XP Hardware >> usb - serial adapter isn't workingI have a Garmin GPS that I'm trying to connect to my Compaq V2310US
laptop, running XP Pro. I have purchased two different usb to serial
adapters and can't seem to make either play. Garmin's software can't
find the GPS with either. When I hooked up the first one, it gave me a
com7 connection, however garmin doesn't look at anything other than 1-4
so I moved it to com2. No play. I connected a breakout box to the
serial end and jumpered 2 and 3. I went into hyperterminal and
configured to talk with com2 and I can't see what I'm typing. I then
connected 4-5 and 6-20 in case it wanted some handshaking. No help.
The port is hot, since I see lights where they should be.
I get pretty much the same results with the other cable.
I brought Linux and minicom on a different system and the cable/breakout
box seems to work OK
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim.

- Windows XP Support >> Domain and WorkgroupI have a laptop that is configured for my office domain.
I also have a home network that has a workgroup.
I would really like to be able to access the storage on other computers from
my laptop, but can't figure out how to do that without disabling the domain.
If it matters, the computer I most want to access is Vista, not XP. But the
laptop is XP pro.
I can ping the computers from each other while on my home wireless network.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Update >> Need MSWorks 5 SuiteRunning an old IBM Aptiva ('99) and Windows 98 SE and have lost or loaned my
MSWorks 5 Suite (Works 5, Word 97, Picture It Express, etc.) and NEED a new
CD(2, maybe?) ASAP. (Computer crashed and I had to format the HD and start
ALL over.) A friend tried his MSWorks 6 here on this computer and his "Word"
and I don't seem to have enough horsepower to run it. Further, my MSWorks 5
and Word 97 files (many, Many ... some of which are irreplaceable and all
valuable to me) will not open on his system so please don't try to walk me
thru all the "fixes" to get them to open at his house. No need ... I want my
files here on my computer. Does ANYone have an old copy of this (MSWorks 5
Suite) that they could send (or sell) me??? I'm sure MR. Gates wouldn't mind
as he's probably up to MSWorks 10 by now. ;-) Hurry and HELP ??? Contact
direct at Nelriggin@aol.com would be quicker and easier as I'm not a
"regular" in these pages. Thanx in advance.

- Windows XP Network >> Can't find shared printer on networkWe have a home network, consisting of just two PC's. Computer A is the host,
and Computer B is the second PC. Both run Windows XP Home edition, SP2.
Computer B has McAfee security system.
Everything worked fine on Saturday night. Computer B was 'on the road' on
Sunday/Monday, and used an in-room internet connection in a hotel. On Sunday,
Computer A installed Symantec's Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2006. On
Monday night, when Computer B returned home and connected to the home
network, it was able to easily connect to the internet (cable modem through
Computer A), but has not been able to print on the network printer. Computer
A can print fine. We have tried the following: remove NIS using add/remove
hardware utility -- no luck. Re-install NIS - no luck. We have called
Symantec Tech Support, but have not been successful with their suggestions.
They did suggest a 'clean boot', which we have not tried.
We definitely do NOT want to mess up the internet connection for Computer B.
We'd rather have a successful internet connection for Computer B than a
successful printer connection, but it would sure be nice to get back to where
everything works again.
Computer B can successfully ping both Computer B and Computer A. Computer A
cannot ping Computer B, but can ping Computer A. Is the problem with Computer
A or Computer B? And what should we try next?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

- Windows XP >> Disappearing "Documents and Settings" directory - HELP! HELP! HELPWhile preparing to send my wife's Dell D510 in for repairs (Blue Screen of
Death for a bad video chip), I was starting to back up her data to a CD ROM
drive. I was doing this inside of WinExp and was simply grabbing all of the
sub-directories under "Documents and Settings" and moving them to the D:
drive icon, prior to issuing the "burn CD" command.
The copy process got hung up, and I attempted to cancel it. Just then (sure
enough!), I got the BSoD and had to power down the laptop.
When I powered back up and logged back in (we have three users), my screen
showed only the icons for IE and Recycle! When I pulled up the Start Menu,
the "All Programs" selection shows "(empty)". When I try to access the
different document files (my login has Admin status), they are all empty!
I used the "Run" option and opened up Explorer. It showed no "Documents and
Settings" directory on the C drive, but it did show the three logon Document
Folders and the Shared Documents Folder as standalone icons. However, each
of those folders are empty! The D: drive cache shows only the "All Users"
and "Administrator" directories.
I have tried the http://www.tweakxp.com/article36827.aspx trick to no avail.
Of course, in the midst of all of this frantic keyboarding, I get the BSoD
popping up fairly often, necessitating a cold reboot.
Can some please tell me how to save my wife's files (and therefore my skin!)?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Hardware >> New Mobo and ProcessorOS Windows XP Home SP1 (and all updates)
I have just installed a new PC Chips Motherboard DDR 266
and an AMD Athlon XP 2400 in my computer. On rebooting
the machine the system stalled at stalled. I restarted
and went to safe mode. System stalled at MUP.SYS but I
assume that it may have been the next setting that caused
the problem.
I tried a repair install from the booting from the
Windows XP CD. It went through the process until it came
to the "windows is not starting........." (or restarting
can not remember) screen and then the system reboots.
This goes on continually until I turn the power off.
If i try to intervene by pressing F8 while booting and go
to safe mode it gets as far as the safe mode screen with
safe mode written at the top and the bottom, then it
reboots the system.
Please help. I have 4 user accounts and seperate PST
files etc set up in outlook and DO NOT want to do a fresh
install.
Please help. Any other information you require just ask.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Toshiba M35 Laptop Safe Mode problemI am trying to access anything that will help me repair/recover the
computer. I cannot access the BIOS to change the boot sequence so as to get
to the DVD/CD drive and it immediately goes to the boot menu in which all
options lead to the BSOD with a bad_pool_caller error message that stays on
the screen momentarily and immediately restartst the computer. There is no
option to stop the auto restart so it loops continually. The Toshiba
website is of no assistance. When I choose Safe Mode boot the loading
sequence hangs at agp440.sys and then goes to the BSOD. I am pretty sure it
is a corrupt video driver, but I cannot get even to the commnad prompt to
fix it. The computer holds the business information for a new startup
company and its owner did not back it up so reformat is the last option open
to me. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> editing a movieI'm new to this. Somehow I lost the project I was working on. I was able to
retrieve most of it but ONLY IN SAVED THE MOVIE VERSION. Now, my timeline
looks totally different in that several clips are in one frame. When I try
to add a collection, etc., it adds at the end of the movie. I, obviously,
was not finished and now I need to know if I have to start completely over!
Please advise!
Thanks a million.

- Windows XP >> Annoying MS Windows Setup screen on startupI was attempting to do a repair install from my XP Pro CD recently and
got a little confused when I initiated the OS install from my XP Pro CD
(thinking the "repair" option would pop up ay some point) . Well the
"repair" option didn't appear in the beginning stages of the install so
I just got a little scared and bailed on the install.
Now whenever I startup my computer I get a black and white screen that
asks me to choose between Microsoft Windows XP Professional OR
Microsoft Windows SETUP or some such thingy. I select MS XP Pro of
course and everything loads up fine but I would really like to find a
way to elminate that black and white selction screen.
I am a bit gun-shy to frig around anymore without some more expert
advice.
Thanks in advance!

- Windows XP >> Transfer Files from Hard Drive After Computer CrashedMy computer refused to boot and, after hearing the cost to fix, I decided on
an early Xmas present and bought a new one. I would like to take the old
hard drive and recover files from it. Is there a way to do that short of
taking the new, almost unused hard drive out of the new computer and
replacing it with the old drive? Any USB tools or Firewire that will hook
directly into a hard drive and allow me to transfer files to the new computer?
Thanks

Of course this never happens when I am there to fix it.
Is there an error logging system within XP that I can access to see what (if
anything) is going wrong?
