- Windows XP Hardware >> Factory Class errorLast week I said yes to an automatic update of Microsoft
Windows XP. included in this update was one for the
Audigy Sound Blaster.
Today I had no sound and looked to find that there was no
sound driver and even the Audigy Sound Card was not to be
seen.
I attempted to reinstall drivers several ways. First
with the internal Hardware Device Installation, then with
Safe Mode, then by using the Drivers disk of the Windows
XP Home Edition. In all cases I had the same error
message stopping me:
Class Factory cannot supply Requested Class
I have searched the Internet and found nothing that
really applies here.
Can anyone help me?

- Windows XP >> New XP Security UpdatesI recently installed the 823559 & 817606 Security updates
realeased by M$ and immediately after installation noticed
that my hard drive or something began clicking every few
seconds. I restarted the machine several times to no
avail and eventually decided to rollback the machine to
before the updates. NOTE - before installing any M$
updates I always make a restore point now. After I rolled
back the machine the problem stopped.
My question>? Does anybody have any idea exactly what
these updates are SUPPOSED to do and why they might affect
my hard drive?

- Windows XP >> XP network - sharing a monitorOk, this might be seen as OT, in which case, please point me to the
right group. In our office we run an informal LAN workgroup. We
collaborate on visual design tasks, and I'd love to have a central
monitor on the wall to which we can all throw images, essentially a
video whiteboard. The good quality flat screens that are out there
(TV or dedicated for data) should make this pretty easy.
Is there a network solution for such a screen? I presume it's a
possible? Can anyone point me in the direction of how to do this?
Many thanks,

- Windows XP >> taskbar settings lostHi,
My PC has only one user account with win xp pro.
But still very often Windows can't remember my personal settings.
Most often the taskbat is "half" reset. I have it 2 rows high, but it's
defaulted back to 1 row, hidding many quick launc icons.
Also autohide is then set to on again.
( I can't leave it to on, as else it stops working after a while and stays
on hiding any another application statusbar.)
Why Windows XP pro doesn't remember taskbar settings?
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> After router setup, Power Policy Manager Unable to set policyI have setup my Dlink router DI-604 to share Rogers-Yahoo Hi-speed internet
and have the following problems
01. LAN port 1 indicator light is always on even though the Machine is power
off : This is the port that connected to the original machine that has cable
internet. This machine runs on WIN XP home SP2. LAN port 2 is connected to a
WIN98SE and the indicator light is off when the machine is turned off. This
make me wonder why the light always on for LAN port 1.
02. Power Management is not working on the machine connected to LAN port 1
i.e. WIN XP SP2 : not sure whether it is related to question 1. After the
router is setup, The Power option doesnot work for this machine. Right now,
it only show Hom/Office desktop and Portable/laptop in the Power scheme pull
down menu. I set the home/office desktop scheme to turn off the monitor
after 15 minutes. I also has a screen saver turned on after 10 minutes. What
happend is the screen saver will turn on. However, after 15 minutes, instead
of turning off the monitor,
the machine turn off the screen saver and return the monitor to normal
screen. I tried to change the setting and save the scheme under the same
name (i.e Home/Office desktop) and received the following errors
"Power Policy Manager Unable to set Policy. Indicates two revision levels
are incompatible"
If I just change the setting and click APPLY, the system takes it but same
problem i.e. return monitor to normal screen rather than to turn if off after
15 minutes.
Any help/insight to fix the above is appreciated.

- Windows XP >> I can't Read Software Instructions in Different Langauge.Hello. When I am trying to install software in Russian language, I can't read
its instructions - it looks like Egyptian symbols. Also, I have the following
Error:
Runtime error program: D:\Setup.exe This application has requested the
runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the support team
for more information.
What should I do? Thank you.

- Windows XP Security >> Opening EFS Encrypted XLS file in XPHave created a Virtual folder in IIS and pointed that at a network
share. This allows me to encrypt files in the share and add other
certs to each document to effectively create a "shared encrypted"
folder. It all works fine except for XLS files which appear to encrypt
ok in "properties advanced" but when you open the XLS file it renders
gobbledigook on the screen. We can work around this because decryption
delivers a readable unencrypted file in the folder, but obviously this
compromises security.
Anyone got a fix to this ?

- Windows XP >> Multiple Domain LoginsProbably an obvious one, but how can I log into multiple
domains? When you login to Windows, You can choose Domain
or Local PC. I have seen many PCs that have a multitude of
domain choices. How do I get a roaming PC/laptop from
another site to log into our site without changing the
PC's domain? Is there a way to use his own profile on our
domain as well?
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> System Restore needs restoringAfter a protracted recovery procedure from a dozen Trojans that disabled
regedit and system restore on an XP box, I now seem to have no viruses,
regedit works again but no system restore; even in Safe Mode. The SR tab is
now missing from the properties on My Computer. If I attempt to start SR
from its shortcut under system tools I recieve an error message to restart
the computer, to no avail. This box now has up to date antivirus and
several antispyware products.
I tried: sfc/scannow
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
chkdsk /r
but would like to hear of another suggestion from the group.
Does XP have: scanreg /fix like in WinMe to repair a registry that has
probably been trashed by the viruses?
TIA

Windows XP Network >> Active directory
to run active directory, to my knowledge, you have to be
running a server edition of windows. on win server 2k,
when you installed the os, it should have asked you what
you wanted to install, same basic thing on 2k3

- Windows XP >> Quick Launch toolbar won't stayOn a home edition XP2 system with current updates, my quick launch toolbar
setting disappears with each reboot.
I have reset it through the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties function.
I have set it by right clicking on the quick launch space and selecting
'quick launch'.
I have gone into 'Documents and Settings\ \Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch' to make sure that the 'quick
launch' folder exists.
But it still reverts to not being selected each time I reboot.
Would appreciate some help on this one. Thank you.

- Windows XP Support >> Internet Explorer can't find any pages?I've just installed XP and SP2 and all the updates. I have a Broadband
connection and downloaded the latest drivers. I can connect to my ISP and
log on to my home page but only once when I open IE but it can't find any
pages nor will it open the search page after the initial page. I've emptied
the cache and refresh doesn't work. My ISP has checked all my settings and
they are OK. The firewall did ask me about a few files ootuqq.exe,
pingppac.exe and winmgr but it still wont find pages whether or not I block
these. Funny thing is if I ping from the command screen I get replies so it
seems I am connected to my ISP server OK. Anyone any ideas or should I stick
with W2K Pro.? I'm sending this on a different computer if anyone wonders
how I can post messages and yet IE doesn't work.
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Help with STOP Error: 0x0000008EXP SP2 on a Toshiba Tablet. Nothing added in 4+ yrs (just all software
updates) but have increasing blue screen issue.
After quite a bit of researching, I have gone through all the possible - and
known - causes of this stop error, which now occurs within 8-10 minutes of
every bootup unless in safe mode. I have determined that the memory address
where the errors always occur is: 0x805A1F33. Now how do I find out what
driver is located at that address so I can fix the problem?
Thank you for your assistance!

- Windows XP >> XP Home Licensing QuestionI bought a Compaq system preloaded with Windows XP Home. The system is out
of warranty, and has a bad motherboard. It's easier to buy a new board and
processor than have Compaq replace the old board.
Here's my question. I have a non-useable system I am gutting to make a new
one. I purchased an XP Home license with the Compaq device but all's I got
is a restore CD. I believe I have legally purchased a license and should be
able to transfer to another pc.
How have people handled this?

- Windows XP Hardware >> How do I know which disk drive it is based on Windows' event logs?Example: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\D during a
paging operation.
Is this labelling based on the order in My Computer's Manage -> Disk
Management? Because I don't see a Disk 3. So I am confused on how
Windows label disk drives. I do have three physical HDDs with seven
total drives/partitions (C: to I:) + two CD/DVD drives (M: and N:).
Thank you in advance. :)

- Windows XP >> Windows Explorer and Send To problemsI have 3 problems that I just cannot seem to find any info
on how to fix them. I have had them for quite some time.
The first 2 are a real pain in the rear!! Please help!!
(1) A few seconds to a minute or two after I open My
Computer or Windows Explorer, my desktop icons and system
tray icons disappear for a few seconds. The desktop icons
re-appear ok but only 2 or 3 of the system tray icons
re-appear. The only way I know to fix this is either reboot
or log off and back on.
(2) If I am in Windows Explorer (not My Computer) and I
double-click on a drive in the right pane it opens it in a
new window even though I have it set to open in 1 window.
This isn't a problem in My Computer.
(3) My Send To menu is not sorted by name in the context
menu.
Thanks!

- Windows XP >> Info on troubleshooting a driver problemHi folks
I have a problem with running the Sims 1 game on a Windows XP Pro SP2
machine. I do not play this game often so I don't know when the
problem first appeared. From the looks of it, it seems as if it could
be a conflict between a display driver and the Sims game.
The game is fine until I go to the mode where I can build something on
a property (when switching to this mode the display normally changes
from showing a map to showing a property close up, with a menu on the
bottom). Instead of showing a coherent picture the screen displays
pieces of the whole, with some blank or blank squares randomly placed
on the screen.
No other applications are running on the computer when this happens.
A couple of questions I would like to ask troubleshooting this type of
issues:
1. Is there a utility that can help me to find out if a dll or a
driver has been loaded into a memory address used by another dll or
driver?
2. Does anyone know of any good books that would give more info about
troubleshooting driver/dll conflicts?
thanks,
JJ
