- customize >> Folder Thumbnails and View Settings Not Consisitent & LostHi all,
I find this very annoying and a big problem:
I have lots of family photos organized in many folders. Each folder, in
thumbnail view, is customized to have a certain picture to represent it and
it is set as a Photo album. Whenever I copy the whole Pictures folder to
someone, or even if I just move the whole folder to another location, my
settings get lost, that is, the thumbnail photo is gone and folder view is
Documennts now. Then I have to reset each individual folder, which is almost
impossible now because I have about 300 folders. I tried to copy Thumbs.db
system file on together with the folders but that didn't work either. Would
you know of any fix for this please as I would like to give people the
folder the same way I have it customized, or to be able to move it on
another harddrive with all the settings remembered?
Hope you can help,
Thanks a lot and sorry for trouble

- Windows XP >> Internet Explorer 6Out of nowhere, my IE takes forever to fully load a
page. When you finally load it, then it takes a long
time to process a command from that page. I have deleted
my temp files, my temp internet files and history and
have tried to install a patch which did nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas what this can be from? I
didn't install or delete any programs to change my
computer's config. and from one night to the next, it is
giving me this grief.
Thanks.

and it connects fine but I cannot access any resources nor can I run a login
script. When I reboot I do not get an option to login using a Dial-up

- Windows XP Hardware >> "Format did not complete successfully"Anyone ever receive this error message in Windows XP?
Please bear with me for a long story, I'd like to see if I
can get this resolved.
I bought a LaCie external Firewire drive a few months ago,
and for awhile it was working fine. Well, almost fine. I
used it for storing digital video for a video editing
system, and from time to time I had playback problems
where it would inexplicably stop in the middle of the
edited video (on the timeline, in Adobe Premiere 6.5).
So, I got on the Adobe forum, people said I should try
disabling the write caching on the drive. So I went in
and changed the radio button to "Optimize for Quick
Removal". Ever since I did that the drive slowed down
considerably, just chugging along and slowing the computer
along with it. I tried changing that setting back again,
but still slow and I couldn't access any of my files on
the drive. I then figured what the heck, I'll just
reformat and start over. It's just video and audio files,
and I have the original footage on DV tape anyway; I can
simply redigitize the media.
Well, I tried over and over again to reformat the drive,
and here's what happens. It goes to formatting, counts
the percentage, and everything, then when it reaches 100%,
it then gives an error message saying "The format did not
complete successfully". I tried deleting the partition,
recreating the partition, making it active, and
reformatting again, still same thing. I shipped the drive
back to LaCie (the drive manufacturer), they sent it back
saying they replaced a bridge board, tested the new board,
and everything's fine. When I received it back a few days
ago, I had to re-initialize, re-partition, and reformat
the disk, and I still got the same formatting problem.
Before I had sent it, the help desk person on the phone
said the problem might be my video capture card, which is
an ADS Pyro For Notebooks DV card. But my computer is
able to certainly talk to the drive and attempt to format
it fine, via the Firewire connection. So personally I
don't see a communications problem. Neither ADS nor LaCie
had anything in their documentation about the other
manufacturer's incompatibility.
Anyway, I was able to format the drive when I first got
everything (card and drive), but I don't understand what I
could have done in Windows XP to cause this latest
problem. My system consists of the following:
Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop w/700 MHz PIII
512MB SDRAM
Windows XP Professional
ADS Pyro Basic DV card For Notebooks (part of Platinum DV
package)
LaCie d2 External Firewire Drive 120GB 7200RPM
Please help! I fear by the time I get this resolved my
products will be out of warranty!

- Windows XP >> How to get (in Touch with Pegasus re) Help with XOSLPegasus,
Please help me with this installation opf XOSL as you offered previously:
>If this was my machine then I would get a free copy of a boot
>loader called XOSL. I would then do this:
- Create a 15 MByte logical partition at the far end of the disk.
- Install XOSL there.
- Clone the existing WinXP installation to your spare partition.
- Add the two OSs to the XOSL menu.
- Password-protect your own WinXP installation in XOSL.
- Selectively hide various partitions from each other.
As a net result would get two completely independent and
mutually invisible OSs, one of which is password protected.
There are a few gotchas in this method. Post again for
further details if you decide to follow this path

- Windows XP Update >> RWW TimeoutI'm attempting to RWW from a laptop using a Verizon air card. It's only
running in the national access mode, just a little faster than dialup. I
choose the 56K connection speed when I log on. Both client and server
desktop time out.
I use this laptop from home to access my desktop and server all the time,
then it's on cable wired or wireless. I need to have this ability as I'm
planning to be away for almost two weeks and I bought the card just for
this. It appears I'll have the same connection speed where I'm going. Am I
missing a setting somewhere? SBS 2003 Standard. Laptop and all clients are
on XP Pro w/ SP2.

---------------------------------------------
When the problem occurs, my ping is reported to gaming servers as way
to high and I get bumped off of the server, though my throughput is
truly ok...
It seems that there is something corrupt...
Here are the things I've already tried:
1. reinstalled XP from scratch... Probablem did not resurface until I
applied the latest critical updates. Microsoft ignores my information
and will not ackowledge the issue.
2. bought a totally different NIC, thinking maybe it was the onboard
ethernet controller.
3. run network without router connected directly to the cable modem.
4. did a traceroute to 127.0.0.1 and saw the same results
intermittantly.
5. do a ping, and it reports negative numbers as the max ping time, and
millions for the average.
6. updated all NIC drivers.
7. ran with and without microsoft's firewall.
8. ran it without any other programs loaded or running (again, note it
did not resurface in a fresh install until the critical updates were
applied).
If anyone has seen this before, please let me know. (email:

any help is appreciated,

- Windows XP Network >> Networking Troubleshooter contradicts Internet Explorer TroubleshoHi there,
I receive a "The page cannot be displayed" message (because the proxy server
was down, but that is another story). I started the Internet Explorer
Troubleshooter within the Support Center. I told it "Yes, I've tried several
different Web sites and I cannot view any of them" and I told it to
Investigate. The investigation result is that it cannot ping the default
gateway. However, the Networking Troubleshooter shows that the
DefaultIPGateway test passed. The results are somewhat contradictory. Huh?

- Windows XP Support >> RWin Settings for multiple connection typesHi all-
Using a win xp pro laptop. I use it to connect to serveral different
networks:
=B71.5mbs T1 at work via wifi and wired
=B78.0/768 cable modem connection at home via wifi and wired
=B7Verizon EVDO 1xRTT on the road
=B7WiFi at places like Starbucks and Airports (guessing about a T1
connection to Internet)
=B7Dialup on the road sometimes
Ultimately, I'd love a tool that lets me save different profiles and
switch RWIN depending on the connection type.
I've done tests on DSLReports (www.dslreports.com/tweaks) and see that
depending on location and connection type I should use different rwin
settings for best performance. I can set these using drtcp, but does
anyone know of a better tool that doesn't require a reboot and will
allow for profile switching depending on where and how I am connected?
Thanks,=20

the safe removal icon on the lower right of the screen while the computer is
still powered up I get a message something like this "The 'generic hard

have no program running at the time. The only way I can remove is to shut
down the computer and unplug and then restart the computer. Very time

Windows XP >> Modem Trouble
I have been working on a HP Pavillion desktop and have hit a snag. Each
time a dial-up connection is initiated a few minutes pass and an error
dialog box appears stating that the modem's port is open or that the
modem needs to be turned off and then turned on again. The modem is on
the COM 2 port and the device logs even state that the modem connected.
This is an internal modem and as far as I know there is no way to "turn
it of and turn it back on" I have tried removing the modem from the
device manager and restarting the computer to allow windows to
reinstall the driver. All to no avail.
NOW WHAT?
Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Windows XP >> Modem Trouble
If you installed any software, uninstall it. Remove the modem from the pci
slot, boot the pc and make sure it is not in the device manager list. Shut
down pc, install the modem and boot the pc.

- Windows XP >> S3 Standby question/problemMy new build (see below) will successfully go into and out of S3 standby and
wake up appropriately for network access (remote desktop, shared folder
access)
Here's the problem- when I boot up another computer in my home network my
new build wakes up even though no network traffic has been requested. Also
with one of my networked pcs on, my new build will constantly wake up (every
5 minutes or so)- again no network traffic has been requested. BTW my new rig
has a shared folder for videos that the other networked pcs occasionally use-
I have simple file sharing turned off
When the other computers are off my new rigs standby problems go away (this
took forever to troubleshoot)!
I've tried putting my new build on a separate switch but same problem- I
also noticed that the "wake up " signal is sent when the windows xp screen on
the booting computer states- loading your settings
Anyone have a solution?- obviously I still want to be able to wake up the
new computer with appropriate REQUESTED traffic- does windows automatically
ping its shares ever so often?
thanks in advance

- Windows XP >> Long pause on highlighting 'New...'I have a small but irritating problem running XPSP2 - while using file
explorer whenever i r-click and select 'New...' from the context sensitve
menu (to create a new folder for instance) there is a long (10 seconds or
more) pause before the list of file types appears. It does this once, then
becomes almost instant (as it should) if i create a second new folder/file
but if i navigate to another area on the disk and 'create new' there i get
the pause again. It does this for all users and on all drives.
The system is plenty powerful enough, AMD FX-55, 2Gb ram and programs run
fine, photoshop CS for example, so i don't think there is a hardware problem.
I'm sure there's a file somewhere keeping this information that needs to be
remade or something, perhaps something i have to delete which will re-create
itself next time i logon?
It's small but highly irrating and thought someone might have an idea for a
fix?
