- Windows XP Hardware >> Graphic Problems-No DisplayI have a strange problem. A friend was using my computer and while messing
around, he deleted the graphic card I was using. Now, the PC and windows
seems to start fine but once windows xp kicks in, everything goes black. I
can see the HD light working so I know things are going on in there, but I
just can't see anything. I've attempted using different cards in there(all
same family, diff. models) but have the same problem. Is there a solution to
this problem or is it time for me to upgrade?

- Windows XP Support >> The Recycle bin thinks I deleted it but didn'tI went to delete a file. It sent it to the recycle bin then I
pushed Empty Recycle Bin. Then a thing popped up saying it can't delete
WIN something or other, (which was a file that I did not try to delete.
But it thought I did). Then I looked in to the bin and the file I tried to
delete was gone. SO the file was gone from my computer but the space is
still being taken up. So the file is gone but the it is still taking up
space. The file was 4 gigs and I want that space back

- Windows XP Network >> strange dns problemI have an XP workstation that will not resolve the IP
addresses of search engines correctly. For example I
can't go to search.msn.com, www.google.com,
www.lycos.com, etc. If I try to ping any of these, I get
the same address for all of them. 207.44.194.56. If I
do an nslookup for any of them I get the correct address.
I have tried using different DNS servers in the network
setup, and have checked the hosts file. Other computers
on the same network using DHCP do not have this problem.
I have run "ipconfig /flushdns" and get the same result.
If I clear the dnscache using the above command and then
do a "ipconfig /displaydns" I get a long list of the
search engines all with 207.44.194.56 as the A record. I
have run "net stop dnscache" and still get the same
results when trying to connect to the web site or ping.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Saving in MP3My daughter is working on a video for one of her Middle School classes.
(Yes, *I* am helping *her*, instead of the other way around!) We've got the
Movie Project saved, and want to burn it to a CD. Unfortunately, the school
PCs are Macs, and won't play a WMV file. Can the movie be saved in MP3
format? If not, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this
work?

Windows XP Hardware >> Swap Hard Drives
I currently have 2 hardrives C: and D:
My C: contains all my program files as well as my
operating system (XP) and D: contains music etc.
I want to get a new C: and replace the current one. My
question is, how do I transfer everything from my old C:
to my new C: and just install the new one and boot up
straight away?
Please help,
Regards, Dave

Windows XP Hardware >> Swap Hard Drives
As mentioned by Pegasus, you can try imaging the drive. There are a
couple other ways as well. There is usually software that comes with the
new harddrive such as MaxBlast for Maxtor drives, SeaTools for Seagates,
etc. If you boot off the CD, there is an option in there to basically
ghost a copy of one drive to another. I would suggest that first. If
that doesn't work, you can install Windows on the new harddrive, boot
off the old install, copy all of the files over the top of the new
install, and then boot to the new install (I wouldn't recommend this
method too mcuh though). Finally, there is the Files and Settings
Transfer utility on your Windows XP CD. This can be found under the
autorun-Additional Options. This will backup all of your data/settings
and then you run it again on a new installation to put all the data back
just as it was before.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> "Professional" doesn't display at startupSome time after installing XP SP2 I've noticed that the word Professional
doesn't show at the Windows XP startup screen (the one with the horizontal
progress bar is displayed). I can't say for sure when it started, and I don't
know if it's significant, but I've learned to be (at least) suspicious when I
notice expected behaviour changing. It also seems that the system has become
very sluggish (especially the first time Explorer starts up), but I suspect
that's unrelated. Any ideas?

- Windows XP Support >> How to install Windows MCE to a new PC which has only SATA hdI'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times already but my search
of the newsgroups does not come with anything recent.
I have just bought an ASUS Pundit barebones PC and a WD Caviar 250gig SATA
drive to go with it.
I am intending to install Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005 onto it.
The Pundit has the SATA drive installed, a DVD writer but it does not have a
floppy drive and there is no connector to connect one to.
I have seen in other posts that in order to install XP to a SATA drive you
have to press F6 during the install process and install SATA drivers.
I have checked the WD website but can't find any SATA drivers, I've also
checked the Asus website with the same result. There is a driver CD with the
Pundit but I've searched that and the nearest thing I can find there
is a SATA raid controller driver ( strange because the Pundit does not have
raid capability, it can only take a single HD ! )
Can anyone offer help here ?

- Windows XP >> Help.Hello people. So I decided to use Vista so I bought Vista.. Now Vista wasn't
actually 'my' style... So I wanted XP back (I installed Vista on Partian D:\
and XP on C:\ )
I got bored from Vista so I decided to delete it. So I formatted my D:\
partian. Now I get this 'error' to choose 2 operating systems. But I only
want to use XP cause Vista is gone but I can choose it.
Now the question is. How can I go directly to XP without that 'choosing'
paging on the boot?
Any help would be great.

- Windows XP Network >> Can't get 100Mb in PCII am running XP Professional without SP2. I can not get a network card to
run at 100Mb if it's plugged into a PCI slot. If I hard set it to 100Mb, it
disables itself. It will only work in AutoSense mode. In that mode it will
run considerably slower than 100MB. The on-board network card runs fine at
100Mb. I have already tried 2 different PCI cards.

sfc and it did not help.

- Windows XP Hardware >> External drive not recognizedMy daughter has a WD external drive that has been connected via USB 2.0 to
her PC for over a year. About a week ago, the drive (F) disappeared from
her My Computer list. A couple of simple attempts such as power off and
power on the drive brought it back. I thought the "problem" was solved.
Today it happened again. I deleted the drive entry in device
manager/hardware and plugging the device in again brought it back and we
could see it again in her My Computer list. She bought a new Seagate
external drive to use it in case the WD was dieing and she was able to
install it without any problem. We didn't know it, but during the install
the new Seagate drive the WD drive disappeared again and the Seagate was
assigned the same drive letter (F). Now, the Seagate is running okay but XP
won't recognize the WD no matter what we do. If she plugs the WD into her
second computer, it comes up just fine. Can anyone point me in the right
direction so I can get both drives running on her computer? They're both
FAT32 and are connected through USB 2.0 ports. She's running an up to date
XP SP2. Thanks for your help.
