- Windows XP >> Creating a Emergency bootable FloppyDoes XP Home allow one to create a Emergency boot up
Floppy in case the system crashes - much like in 982nd?
I was told that XP allows for boot up with THE CD (I
assume the installation disk). Is this true?
What if one can't and a floppy is the only option.
I do not have a problem w/the system, but one never knows
when a problem arises.

- Windows XP >> xp home to professionalmy daughter's college has issued a notice stating it
cannot guarantee connectivity to the college network
using home edition, and recommending professional
addition. My questions are:
1. Is there really a problem, or can home be configured
appropriately?
2. If I need professional edition, can I buy the upgrade
only or do I need the full operating system (the box for
the upgrade does not list xp home as one of the operating
systems to which the upgrade applies).

- Windows XP >> Keyboard not functioning in XP or Safe ModeTrying to bring my mother's laptop back after a virus. It's appears
to be clean but the keyboard does not work in normal or safe mode.
Mouse control works and so does everything you can click.
The keyboard does work in the BIOS menu and it functions with a BART
PE boot so it doesn't appear to be hardware.
I have deleted the keyboard from device manager several times. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

- Windows XP Security >> Default Screensaver SettingsLately when we receive PC's loaded with XP from Dell the
deafult screensaver is set to lock the PC in 10 minutes
for each new user. We can change this as each user logs
on, but does anyone know how to change the default to "no
screensaver?
Thanks,

- Windows XP >> Image ViewerIn my old ME system, while browsing through a folder, the program would show
a thumbnail of an image when I clicked on it. That does not happen in XP.
The only way I have found to view a thumbnail is to display the entire
folder in Thumbnail view . . . that's not what I want to do. I only want to
see the thumbnail of the image I clicked.
Is there some way to turn this feature on, or is it not available in XP?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Problems with clipsHi all,
I have been able to make my movies but only if I take small clips of what I
want, I can view it that way but I cannot allow movie maker to make clips of
my dig videos because it just won't show them. Has anyone had this problem?
So I end up with about 100 small clips of about 5 seconds each then add them
to the story board or time line and it works great, as long as I don't allow
movie maker 2 to cut my video into clips, I would prefer to take a long
video then have it cut but it won't let me and I can't edit them at all,
Please help me I am so confused,

- Windows XP Network >> Have DSL connection auto login on system starupI just installed XP Pro on a friends machine. He has the type of DSL where
you need a username and password to connect to the DSL server. I have his
account setup after using XP's little internet wizard and now there is an
icon on his desktop that he can click and it will remember his username and
password and all he has to do is click connect and he will connect to the
internet. I was wondering if there is a way to make it so this happens
automatically without him having to do ANYTHING. It will just login
automatically anytime he reboots the machine. I thought of putting the
shortcut in the startup folder, but all that will do is give him the
connection dialogue box and he'll still have to click connect. Is there a
way to automate this? THANKS.

Any suggestions??

Windows XP >> Windows Changes Disk Letters on start
Every now and again, for some reason unbeknown to me, the
disk letters on some of my disks and partitions change to
different letters after the system starts. Is there any
way to lock the letter allocation so that this does not
happen? Thanks.

Windows XP >> Windows Changes Disk Letters on start
In Win NT and Win2K you can do it thru Disk Manager, which in WinXP is found
in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Disk Management.
There are several ways to change a drive letter; one of the easiest is to
right-click on the symbolic disk, then click on "Change Drive Letter and
Paths ... ." As far as I know, the only reason that Windows will change a
drive letter on its own

- Windows XP Support >> Icons Gone!Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum.
I did a quick search for my problem but couldn't find anything in
previous threads.
Basically, the icons for "My Computer", "My Documents" and "My Network
Places" have been replaced by the generic Windows "Unknown File" icon,
and I don't know why. I've run a virus scanner (F-Secure) with the
lastest definitions installed and it came up blank. I've not noticed
any other problems.
If anyone knows how I can get my icons back, it'd be much appreciated.

- Windows XP >> disappearing user profiles - HomeXPI have three user profiles set up. I am now having trouble with one of the
profiles - it is gone! The folders and files (favourites, desktop, cookies,
documents) still reside under "Documents and Settings", but when the
particular profile is chosen and logged into, all I get is the initial
screen as if a new profile has been set up. Any suggestions?

- Windows XP Hardware >> mainboard queryHi,
My PC has died on me, and I only bought it a few months ago. I was getting
long single beeps and tried to test the RAM , but I think I've compounded
the problem now. I bent a capacitor with too much force and also the battery
doesn't fit back into place securely anymore. Now the fan and drives fire up
but no video. (FIC P4M-800T motherboard)
My question, if I want a good quality motherboard to replace my old and
possibly rebuild this thing from its partsh . What should I be looking for?
I have a P4 chip with HT and I plan to use my ATI graphics card . I will
probably need to replace my memory too with
Or is there a possibility that my motherboard can still be fixed and how?

- Windows XP Support >> Are there Anti-SPAM-tool comparisons / tests ?If I look at the market there are dozends or even hundreds of Anti-Spam-tools
available for POP3 eMail filtering.
What I am missing are comparisons resp. tests between all these Anti-Spam tools.
What are the detection rates for a set of lets say 10000 typical eMails ?
How much is the percentage of false positives (=non-spam eMails which are classifed as spam)
Does someone know such a comparison web page ?

- Windows XP >> Goback 3.0I have read in many reviews for Goback 3.0 that it permits installation onto
several hard drives on one computer. I have tried many times to reinstall
Goback in the hope it will allow me to protect the extra hard drive I have
installed although at no time during the custom install does it prompt me
for protection of the second drive. Could anyone confirm that Goback 3.0 is
able to protect multiple drives in Win XP, or suggest any ways that I might
be able to fix this problem?
Many thanks
