pushed Empty Recycle Bin. Then a thing popped up saying it can't delete

- 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 Network >> ICS client and failed AOL internet accessHaving problems getting internet connection from client
through ICS host using AOL 9.0 (dial-up). Host is
connected to AOL with no problem. Client has no problem to
access network for other functions (shared drive etc.).
Any solutions or is AOL simply not supporting ICS? Thx.

- Windows XP Support >> Network Status not workingWhen I go to network connections in the control panel and I try to view the
status of either my wired or wireless connection, it will not display at
all. This happens whether I right click and choose status, left click or
click on the network tasks. It does work properly from safe mode. I tried
sfc and it did not help.

- 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 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 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.

Windows XP Support >> How to install Windows MCE to a new PC which has only SATA hd
I'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 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.

- Windows XP >> XP ProI'm using XP Pro, I changed my security rights on the C
drive to give someone else access and now seem to have
lost ALL permissions on the primary drive (the only
drive). When I boot I get the background wallpaper and
the mouse pointer but that's it. Safe mode does the same
thing with an all black screen. It acts as though nothing
has permission to access the c drive and therefore
won't boot at all. Any ideas on how to solve this
problem? How can I regain access to the c drive?? Thanks
for any help you can give me.

- Windows XP >> System Restore Question-Please Help!Every time I use the System Restore function approximately
2.2 Gb's are added to the used space on the hard drive, or
(C:). It is now up to 49 Gb's and the free space is going
down. What is causing this as the Hard Drive should only
be about 10 Gb's or less with the programs that are
installed. Is there a setting to get rid of the extra Gb's
system restore is adding to the used space without losing
information.
Thanks in advance for your time!!

- Windows XP Support >> MCE 2005 update caused problemsI updated my computer to MCE2005 just yesterday, now outlook is missing a
Cab.file.511974.mainsp3ff.msp, my McAfee SpamKiller no longer recognizes me
as the administrator, it also is no longer filtering my email. I am getting
all kinds of error pop up boxes that I never had before for all sorts of
programs. I have spent over 15 hours with McAfee live chat trying to fix the
problem, they finally admitted that the problem might be with the MCE
upgrade. My computer is brand new. There has got to be a way to either
revert back to original program or fix all of these problems.

- 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 Support >> can't start windows normallyHi
First of all I am on XP PROFESSIONAL. I think my computer might be
infected by a virus so i tried to get to safe mode to run antivirus
software. After trying to get to safe mode many times and
unsuccessful, I read some articles that suggested the configuration in
msconfig within Windows. I went to boots.ini I think and choose -safe-
mode. After applying changes, I re-started the machine and ever since
I never get pass the screen with choices to pick
safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with dos
Start Windows normally
I chose every single option 1 at a time but it seems to always take me
to a 1 sec blue screen of death and re-start itself, then show me the
options above then go to the blue sceen again. I dont seem to be able
to pass this. I think it may be because of my msconfig so i wonder
Is there anyway I can override msconfig? I cant even get to the dos
mode.
What should I do?
Super sad now, I am totally have urgent work to do. Stupid virus.
Help me please
many thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Tray items missingUnder Taskbar Properties, I've got Volume and Safety Remove Hardware

- Windows XP Setup >> Sysprep problemsHi,
We are currently trying to use Ghost 7.5 to deploy XP Pro machines. We
create an image run sysprep, then take an image dump. That works fine and
afterwards the machine goes through the setup. So we know sysprep works fine
as teh automated setup finishes without a problem. The problem occurs when
we try to image a machine that has a different hardware spec. The image
loads ok to the machine. However on restart the machine goes into a loop,
whereby you get the options to boot up, safe mode, normal etc. But no matter
which option you choose the machine reboots and goes round in this cycle.
Any ideas??
Thanks
