- Windows XP >> Wndows update choicesCan someone answer these questions please?
- Is the "Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML)" update critical and really
necessary for all Windows users? Why? I read the description and I didn't
understand it well enough to make a choice. I just use my PC for email,
photo editing, specialied shopping and scientific information. Not too
happy to keep adding XP updates unless they are really useful to the kind of
user I am.
- I still have IE6. Again I have read on updating to IE7 and do not see too
much of a gain in updating unless I am not aware of special benefits.
Please comment, I always learn from responses here.
Thanks, Joan

- Windows XP Hardware >> RED and BLACK USB connector??Hello,
I bought a 4 port sharing USB hub :
it connects 2 computers to 4 USB devices , so you can switch the usb
printer, mouse, flash card,
it's easy : you can write a flash card with PC A and push the switch button
of the flashcard on the hub and it's connected with PC B .
My question is : the hub has no power adapter , but a RED and a BLACK USB-A
connector, but only one USB-B connector, to connect to the hub, for each
connected PC .
Do i need to connect BOTH the RED connectors to the 2 PC's or is 1 enough ??
can anybody explain me how this works having 2 connectors at one end of the
USB cable??
thanks paul
the red is for power supply and the black is for data.

- Windows XP >> Cannot see all properties on Summary tab on File Properties seen from explorer.Hi,
We have proprietary file which is structured storage one. We store all
standard property sets such as summary information property set. When
I see File Properties from explorer on Win2k OS, I see all Summary
properties under Advanced->Origin.
When I see file properties for the same file from explorer on WinXP
OS, then I cannot see all summary properties under Advanced->Origin. I
see only Source, Author and Revision Number.
What could be the possible reason? Is there any way to show all
properties on XP?
Thanks and Regards,

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Cannot delete folder on serverHello,
I am trying to delete some old folders off of our server, and cannot do so.
The error that I get is "Error Deleting File or Folder, Cannot delete file:
Cannot read from the source file or disk".
As you read on below, you will find a more comprehensive explanation of my
problem, along with 2 attempts to fix the problem.
A LITTLE HISTORY OF HOW THIS OCCURED:
This is is how these folders were created in the first place.
About 4 months ago, I had to come up with a way to back up (automatically) a
certain folder on my hard drive to the server, on a daily basis. I found
this program called "Karen's Replicator". One of the nice things about it is
that it will allow you to create custom pathing based on the current date,
which was good in the event that I needed to go back to a certain date backup.
When I was subsequently (after copying all of these folders to an external
USB-HD) trying to delete these folders that were created by the Replicator,
I discovered that some of the folders had an additional character (actually
it is a space) at the end of the date. Upon further review, I discovered
that if I went to the folder, hit F2, sure enough, you could see that there
is a space between the last visible character, and the blinking cursor. I
tried to remove the space, tried adding another character, and each time it
says "Cannot rename file: Cannot read from the source file or disk".
So the bottom line is that each and every one of the folders that are
UNDELETABLE contain this space at the end of the date. An example of the
path is this X:\Data\Local_Drive_Backup\BB_05-19-06 . Note that there is a
space after the 06 BEFORE the period.
WITH REGARD TO USING DELETE FXP AND KILL BOX:
I tried to use both DeleteFXP and Killbox, and got two different responses.
On the DeleteFXP, since the folder is on our network (as I had indicated
earlier) it won't work unless I want to pay for the ProLicense. On the Kill
Box, when I navigate to the folder, select it, and then click "Delete" it
says "File does not seem to exist".
WITH REGARD TO USING RMDIR:
Also, with regard to the DOS command RMDIR, that did not work either. It
says "The system cannot find the file specified".
Any more ideas?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Phil.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Is there a way to change the default conditionsthat the system Idle process uses to determine that the machine is idle?
For instance I know that it checks if
1. There is no user input
2. The CPU and disk usage is less than 10 percent
3. The system is not running on battery power
4. Presentations programs are not running
But I would like to change the conditions.....for example lower the CPU to 5
percent usage
Is this possible?

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Installer Service / BITSWin2k updated.
Occassionally using MSupdate the update fails. (recent problem)
Checking Services I find that both BITS and Windows Installer Service are
set to auto, and whilst BITS is started Installer service is not.
Manually starting Installer Service allows update success.
On other occassions I find BITS has reset to manual, though its dependancy
services are auto.
Any ideas as to why?

- Windows XP Support >> Do I really need an LAN connection?Since an in-shop repair, I've had an LAN connection set up on my XP Home
computer, in addition to an Ethernet connection for my DSL. The tech tells
me that XP automatically sets up the LAN and that it is necessary in order
for my DSL connection to work. I'm a single user with no other network
connected.
Well, the DSL works fine. Maybe I should be content.
But...could someone please tell me if the tech was blowing smoke or maybe
was misguided.
TIA.

- Windows XP Support >> XP default driver for camera - how to bypass?Hi all
I was stupid enough to hook up my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 camer
to my computer before I installed the software - now the compute
treats the camera as a movable storage medium (F-disk) using
default XP driver. XP will not let me install the original driver
"there is no need to install a driver, the current one works fine" o
something along those lines. Does anybody know how to bypass th
default driver and install the proper one? Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Norton Anti-virus Auto-protect not functioningI have installed the Norton Utilities 2003, including Norton anti-virus in
both systems WinME & WinXP. But the auto-protect is not functioning.
1) I have scanned for anti-virus but no virus was found.
2) I have uninstalled the Norton Utilities 2003 and re-installed. Same case
happens.
Pls suggest what to do.
My computer has been infected with W32.Blaster.Worm and I run FixBlast.exe
to remove the worm - some files are deleted. However, afterwards, it is
found that it is unable to connect to the internet, send/receive e-mail even
though the system shows the broadband line is connected. Even re-install the
Windows, the problem still there. I would like to know how to solve the
problem. How to find out what files have been deleted?
