- Windows XP Network >> laptop connectivity issuesI have a Dell Latitude D600 running XP Pro that has starting having
problems. I can't connect to the internet either wirelessly or through
a wired connection. It gets the wrong IP address and when manually
entered in along with the correct DNS servers and gateway IE 8.0 just
can't find any websites.
A problem that seems to be related is that the computer won't shutdown
completely.

- Windows XP >> Repair/Install issueSomething to think about if for future computer problems. I recently did a
repair/install of WinXP SP2 and had to then install about 80 further
upgrades again. Then upgrade Internet Explorer from version 6.0 to 7.0.
Everything seemed to work OK but my printer was screwing up. It's a USB
printer. I checked the connections and it was good. Then I had a
revelation.
A lot of my external devices like the printer, scanner, USB hard drives I
have powered by a separate power strip. I leave it off most of the time and
only power it up when I need to use one of the external devices. Ding!
Ding! I just thought..... hey, the repair/ install might have lost the info
on those devices. When I power up my computer it "looks" for new devices.
But.... if that external power switch is off on boot up my computer won't
"see" them.
So, this morning before booting up, I powered all my external devices to on
and then booted up. Sure enough, what came up but numerous notices that
Windows had "discovered" a new external device and was setting it up for
use. Now everything works the way it used to.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> computer freeze-mostly while on internet (cable modem)I am having problems with computer lock ups. Cannot
control+alt+delete to shut down any programs. Computer
will not shut down in the normal way. The only choice I
have is to turn the computer off, which can't be good
either.
The lock-ups occur mostly when on the internet, but some
recent ones have occured when in other programs (random).
I have ran diagnostics on the hard drive, processor,
memory and other system hardware. All pass.
I have done a restore to bring the computer back to its
original facory condition, I have upgraded to windowsxp.
If anyone can help, please do.

- Windows XP >> Administrator PWI play quake 3 areana online. Or used to. I ran into this problem as of
recently.
I keep getting kicked from gameservers for "inadequete OS privaliges". That
means the program i'm using is not under admin.
When I right click and go to set it to run as admin, it wants a PW. I dont
know the PW. MY question is how do I find out that PW or change it?
Also, note im logged in as the owner, so It makes no sense. I have winXP
sp2.

- Windows XP >> "My Search" is it needed?Running XP Pro and I notice that I find this program
constantly loading in the registry and in the Program
Files listing in explorer. I run Adaware 6.0 Pro and
Spybot to rid it, but invaribly it rears itself in the
same locations, even though I delete what Adaware and
Spybot finds. Is this spyware?, and if not, do I need
it? And how to rid it once and for all?
TIA

- Windows XP Setup >> XP and power options problemI just upgraded from Win 98 2ed to XP professional, and
somehow deleted several of the power option selections,
along with doing some other dumb things to power options.
How do I restore power options to its original
configuration?
Help. Thanks. John

- Windows XP Network >> File and Printer SharingThinking back to Windows 98 I remember that to make files available to
another computer you first of all ticked a box to allow file sharing and then
changed the properties on the individual files to be shared. I have found
how to do the second part of the operation in Windows XP but cannot find the
Win XP equivalent of allowing file sharing. The question is asked by the
Network Setup Wizard but after making several changes while setting up a
network I have lost track of whether file sharing is currently allowed or
not. Is there an easy way to tell?

Problem solved, It seems to be the Nero directory that pops due to the
Nerobackup utility used to schedule backups. Anyone know a switch to turn
off the directory from popping and still run the program. If not I'll use
another backup program.
Thanks

Track down the location where the call for the Nero utility is coming from.
Start> Run> MSCONFIG> Startup has a "Location" column that lists this
information. It can also be seen in System Information> Software
Environment> Startup Programs. This will probably lead back to one of the
RUN keys in the registry.
Most likely the entry contains a path that is missing some quote marks.
Paths with long file names and/or spaces need to be enclosed in quotes.
Check the key carefully. Sometimes there is an opening quote mark but
no closing mark. Edit the command as necessary.
Example:
Change: C:\Program Files\Ahead Software\Nero\whatever.exe
To: "C:\Program Files\Ahead Software\Nero\whatever.exe"

- Windows XP Support >> Alright, I need help, I am at a loss..Ok, recently..within the last week and a half..I have had to reformat my hard
drive and reinstall Windows XP Professional...due to problems with viruses
and issues I couldn't resolve any other way. I just have one problem...ok
two...I have everything installed correctly, I believe, and it should all be
running smooth...I have all updates installed, except SP2, as I am behind two
firewalls and SP2 tends to cause serious difficulites with connecting to the
internet if I have it installed.
My computer has been freezing up and acting almost like I need some kind of
driver or there might be something wrong with the registry or the actual hard
drive itself. It will run smooth for awhile, a few minutes to a couple hours,
depending on what I'm trying to do, and then it will freeze for a few seconds
to a few minutes...sometimes I have to reboot cause it won't unfreeze...right
now I have hardly any programs installed other than the basics that come with
windows and things like Adobe Acrobat and a number of anti-virus (System
Suite 5, Microsoft Anti-Spyware,Ad-Aware,Spybot Search and Destroy) and
anti-adware/spyware programs. Can anyone tell me why my computer might be
behaving this way? Should I worry about the hard drive itself or might it be
something wrong with how I re-installed windows xp pro ? Thanks in advance
for any help.

- Windows XP Network >> XP and RoutersHi,
I posted a message regarding this a few days ago. The
response I got was very helpfull which suggested
installing ZoneAlarm firewall software.
This seems to have found whats bring the router line up
and keeping it up.
My XP machine seems to be issueing a ICMP Echo Request
(ping) every two minutes to our DNS server. This is
therefore bring the router line up and never enabling it
to drop.
Has anyone any ideas what is causing this ICMP Echo
request and also how to stop it without the firewall
software installed.
Thanks
