- Windows XP Support >> Un-Checking Case sensitive Box in Explorer Search Gets Un-expected ResultsWindows XP Home SP1
When using XP's search for files in Explorer, I noticed that.
If I _un-check_ the Case sensitive box, the search doesn't work, even if
the search string exactly matches the file name I'm searching for.
If I _check_ the Case sensitive box, the search works and I get the
correct result, even if the search string is case-different then the
file name I'm searching for.
Has anybody else seen this behavior?
This is more of an oddity than a problem, but is there a solution or an
explanation?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> dll problemRunning XP Home. I recently installed Encarta Ref.
Library 2004DVD to my HD, over the top of the 2003
version (it said it was ok to do that) and it went
through deleting various files from the 2003 version and
installed fine. However, I think it may have deleted
some dll files as well. My Retrospect software for my
external hard drive suddenly wouldn't start and said it
was missing msvcr70.dll. So I downloaded it off the net
and put it in my c:\windows\system32 folder and that got
that program running. Yesterday I tried to download an
audiobook using Audible Manager (a program from
www.audible.com that facilitates the downloading of audio
books) and suddenly it said I was missing msvci70.dll, so
I downloaded and installed it, then it said i was missing
mfc70.dll, so I downloaded and copied it to the system32
directory and then tried again and this time it just
gives me an error, saying it can't initialize the
program. Any idea what I might do or is it just best to
reinstall the Audible Manager program? (will that cure
it?).
Thanks,
Mark

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Need Free AV For Friend......I'm completely happy with my own AV software, but find I need a free AV
program for an acquaintance, who has been operating unprotected mode for
the past 1-2 yr.s. I've spent the better portion of the past 2 1/2 hr.s
searching Google for programs that I've seen mentioned here & elsewhere.
All I've come up with are AVG, which doesn't seem to want to send the
registration code to her hotmail acct. (She doesn't have a spam filter
in place & has added the addy to her address book)
Please help.

- Windows XP Update >> windows xp update problemWhen I use IE6- tools- windows update, I get the followinh message:
Checking if your computer has the latest version of Windows updating
software for use with the website?
The website uses ActiveX controls to determine which version of the
software your computer is running. If you see an ActiveX warning, make
sure the control is digitally signed by Microsoft before installing it
or allowing it to run.
For years it always checked and gave me a list to choose from.
No changes to programs
How do you check for ActiveX??

have since change my network configuration and want to
remove netbeui.
Here is the problem. After removing netbeui the computer
goes crazy. Explorer is running (verified in the

- Windows XP >> ACTIVStudio - Error: problem obtaining valid path for applicationI am having problems opening ActivStudio software. The problem first
arrose in version 3 but now version 2 is popping up with the same
error when the program is started.
Error: problem obtaining valid path for application
The software is installed on each machine. It runs as an administrator
but it would not run for teachers so I have made "teachers" local
administrator to the appropriate PCs and that has made it work.
However, this is only a temporary fix as I do not want to leave such
rights available for teachers to use.
The problem seems very intermittent. One day it will work, another it
wont. I have tried contacting Promethean for there support but they
are blaming the network and access rights.
I cannot for the life of me seem to find a fix for this.......... any
advice anyone????

- Windows XP >> System working like... not too wellMy sisters computer with XP Home is suddenly working really badly. Word wont
start, can't open the remove/add item option, can't update, can't do nothing.
These things happen on the administrator profile but not another, which to
some degree indicate a self inflicted problem. Does anyone have an idea as
how to fix it?
More often than not it says some file is not working well. Rundll.exe seems
to be a popular dude when the error display message appears.
Please help, I'm going quite crazy trying to figure it out.

- Windows XP Security >> Very strange problems -- permissions???I've had a Dell XPS M140 notebook, running Windows XP Media Center 2005, for
a little over a month now, and have experienced some very, very strange
things. First, InstallShield crashed (finally did get things working again).
Next, when I upgraded the bundled version of RealPlayer to 10.5, I kept
getting a "SYSTEMBOOTHIDEPLAYER" error message on startup. After two weeks of
troubleshooting with the RealNetworks Tier 3 escalation team, we were able to
determine that this was being caused by a leftover registry key. But, even
though I have permissions to edit and delete keys in my registry, I
absolutely cannot delete this particular key, no matter what I try. And no
one can tell me why. In order NOT to get the error message, I am forced to
run a legacy version of RealPlayer.
Third, I can't seem to uncheck any Start Up items. Whenever I do and reboot,
duplicates of those items appear checked in the Start Up list -- in addition
to those that were unchecked.
Fourth, when I tried to update my Bluetooth driver to the latest version,
the process just hung repeatedly. I spent over two hours on the phone with
Dell tech support, but I never was able to install the update. And they
didn't know why.
And last, but not least, to try to "undo" whatever weirdness the BT
non-update might have caused, I did a system restore (with tech support on
the phone). Although the restore seemed to be successful (it was listed in
the System Restore checkpoints), I never saw any evidence of the restore
process on screen, nor did I get any message that the restore had been
competed successfully! (I do get these when doing a system restore on my
desktop computer.) The tech support guy had absolutely no explanation for
this, either.
So, if anyone can offer any insight into what on earth is going on with my
computer, I certainly would look forward to hearing from you!

- Windows XP Setup >> Move NTFS hard drive to new computer & access files and foldersMy old computer smoked. I think the motherboard died,
smoke literally filled the room. I am trying to move my
old hard drive which was running XP Pro and was the boot
drive formatted as NTFS to my new computer. I had the old
drive setup with mulitple users and accounts. I am able
to access the folders of the users that were did not have
admin rights, however I am unable to access my main "My
Documents" folder. When I click on the my documents
folder under my user name (I'm the administrator of the
old computer), I receive the:
"documents and settings\{login name} is not accessible.
Access is denied."
error message
Can someone please help? I am thinking that I need to
login to the hard drive so that I can access the files,
but when I try to set my old hard drive as the boot disk
the computer doesn't boot.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> ATI WDM Rage Theater AudioMovie Maker does not recognize the audio capture portion

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> MMM2 - Won't play audio or videoI'm trying to preview a transition, but it's not working, I've tried reinstalling it, I've converted the videos I import to different codecs, I've practically tried everything, and it STILL won't work. I just want to edit a project I saved, but it won't play no matter where I put the "insertation point" thing. Then after a few seconds, the whole entire program freezes, it doesn't crash it just freezes. I know it's not a memory problem because I've got PLENTY of memory. If Microsoft doesn't fix Movie Maker soon, I'm going to buy and Apple computer and a video editing program I've heard works great on Apple.
Before I finish, I have one thing to ask Microsoft: Why the hell would such a huge computer software company they make such an underdeveloped program? It doesn't make any sense

Set the BIOS to boot CD before Hard disk, then boot the XP CD, start
Setup (do not take 'Repair' at this stage), then after the license
agreement take 'Repair Installation'. This will retain your existing
software installations and most settings. But Updates will have to be
run again, especially SP1;
It is important to activate the basic XP Firewall before you ever
connect to the net to get the patches, so as to be protected against
things like the BLAST worm.
Always back up essential data before doing any major system operation
like this, if you are still in a position to do so

- Windows XP Support >> lsass.exe help (might be sasser virus)Hi, I am having problems with Lsass.exe and hereâ??s the description of the
problem.
The system is shutting down... the shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY
SYSTEM"
The system process c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly
With status code -01073741819. The system will now shut down & restart."
I checked on the internet and everything points to it being some sort of the
sasser virus but hereâ??s the thing I donâ??t have any of the known programs
running in the task manger such as avserve.exe. I tried every single sasser
virus scanner and they fail to find anything. Also I check for agobot,
argobot, blaster, Welch, gaobot. And the anti-virus scanners canâ??t find
anything. I am running Windows Xp service pack 2 also I am behind the windows
firewall and I use AVG as my main antivirus scanner. I was wondering does
anybody else have any ideas before I smash this computer

- Windows XP Setup >> XP boot loops upon cold startup?We recently upgraded one of our WinNT 4.0 Workstation
machines to XP, using one large NTFS partition.
Everything is great, except that when the computer is cold

- Windows XP Network >> Connection ProblemsI have a cable modem connected to a Hub, and 2 computers
connected to the same Hub. Each computer has direct access
to the internet through the Hub and cable modem.(Not using
internet connection sharing)
My problem is this, the computers can ping each other
using their alternate IP addresses (192.168.0.3 and
192.168.0.4) but cannot connect to each other to share
files and printers.
When I try to view the workgroup I get an error
saying: "Workgroup is not accessible. You may not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available."
I have enabled NetBios in TCP/IP and made sure Computer
Browser was started on both machines, but I still get the
same error.
Anyones help in this situation would be greatly
appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> a couple of file management / backup issuesHi,
A few simple questions:
1 - When copying multiple files via windows, if the destination folder
contains a duplicate filename, you get the option to "replace this
file, replace all duplicate files, skip this file or cancel - is there
any software available (preferably free), which will let me skip all
duplicate files, or even better, skip all duplicate files, and produce
a log file of any duplicates, where file size, or date differs, so I
can decide what to do with those?
2 - I have a multiboot system, and when copying files in win98, if
copying single files, it will just create a shortcut in the destination
directory - how can I change it so it automatically copies the file?
3 - I have just backed up a large demos directory onto cd (using roxio
easy cd)- I will be adding to this directory, but the programs / files
on there at the moment will not change (or if they do, backup will be
trivial) - is there any way I can mark these as "backed up", so that
next time I do a backup run, it will only backup the files/programs
added since the last run? (so far I've either created directories which
I won't add to when I've backed up, or copied everything to 2
locations, 1 where they'll be kept, and one temporary one so I know
what I need to back up, and backed up the extra directory)
Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> Disable/Enable "Local Area Connection" using DEVCONHi,
I was following up on a different thread and need to disable/enable a
network connection, specifically "Local Area Connection" using a command line
utility so that I can package it in a batch file. It turns out that DEVCON
may be of help. A thread from 7/05 talks about it, but it doesn't go deep
enough to outline the way to get to the connection. The help for devcon is
not helping enough to suggest a way to isolate the connection.
Can someone with DEVCON experience suggest a way to disable the connection?
Novell has a utility called NETSHX that can do it for their networks. This
will probably be a nice tip for some people! WINDOWSITPRO seems to have an
article that covers this topic but it's for subscribers only. :-|
Thanks.
