- Windows XP Network >> 2 or more routers on the same home networkI currently have 2 computers installed on my wired network, and am looking at
adding two more. One of those two is a laptop which belongs to my brother in
law, who lives in another part of this very large house. What I would like to
do is to run a cable from the wired router to the wan port of a wireless
80211 g router in his area of the house, and install a wireless card in his
laptop, and let him roam wherever he wants to go.
Is it possible to daisy chain a router to another router, or would I have to
get rid of my wired router and buy some network range expansion hardware?

- Windows XP Setup >> XP freexesMy system runs XP Pro with SP2. recently it has started freezing after it
has booted. Sometimes it won't re-boot when I use the re-set button on the
front of the tower so i have to disconnect and re-connect the power supply,
and then boot up as normal. Sometimes it won't boot up from then. Over the
weekend i tried a clean install from my XP CD (not OEM), and when it got to
the part where it say 'startup is loading windows' it freezes, and that's it.
Can anyone help please?

I have attempted to upgrade my XP Home with XP Pro, but an
error occurred during installation and I need "specific"
advice on how or if it can be repaired. During the

which did allow we to continue and complete the
installation, but when I boot up, it can take up to 5 mins
for all my startup pgms to startup and the Laptop locks up
frequently. Laptop (Compaq - Presario - 1700) 4-5 years
old. 1g mhz, 256 RAM, 40g hardrive.

Windows XP Setup >> Upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro
I have seen this error related to the Keyboard Driver for Windows XP needing to be updated.
Compaq has a fix that updates the driver for XP: SP20927

- Windows XP Security >> BackupI used the windows backup to backup some data. When I go in to restore it, I
can see it and select it. However, when the backup starts, after a few
seconds it stops and gives the errormessage: "The backup file could not be
found" When I go to the directory where it is located, the directory is
empty, but why am I able to see the files and select them to restore??? yet
the backup file is not there?
Is there a way I can still get these files? Please help.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Disk Cleanup ProblemI accidentally deleted things in More Options/Windows Components part of Disk
Cleanup. I lost my Wordpad and Games part of the Accessories & Utilities. I
also no longer have the volume control icon in my taskbar! I am not sure yet
what other things are missing. I can't find a list of what is supposed to be
there - after many hours of looking on websites. I can't do a system restore
because I also deleted all prior restore points! I am so mad at myself for
this ridiculous error as I always create a new restore point when doing
things on the computer! Is there anyway I can recover these lost components?
I have installed the Service Pack 2 so I don't think I can just put my
Windows XP Home CD in my puter and recover those programs or can I? I have
ordered the Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD but that takes 4-6
weeks to arrive. Any help will be much appreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> Creitical Updates page - RecentWhenever I see a change that is unexpected on the Critical Updates page, I
usually post a question and ask what I should do.
Tonight my husband tried to download Critical Updates and when he got to
that download page, he saw a lot of instructions about downloading new update
software about Windows Genuine Advantage Tool KB892130. He didn't bother to
post a question on this forum and decided to go ahead with the download.
However, after the downloads, the installationa bar got about 1/5 of the way
across and just stopped there for quite a long time. Nothing happened, so he
decided to click on Cancel. The box remained open just stating Cancelling and
nothing happened. He finally had to ctrl/alt/del to close it.
Now what do we do? Is our PC injured now? Please try to help and advise us
what to do. Thank you

- Windows XP Support >> XP Home Edition freezes at start-upI have current updated XP home edition on my Toshiba laptop, successfully
running for 2 1/2 years. I use it at home, and at work I had the
administrator set it up to permit me to log into their network. Since then
the computer freezes at start-up on the blue screen that shows the Windows XP
logo, and the words "Windows is starting up". I found that I can navigate
through this at startup by tapping the F8 key rapidly before that screen
appears. I tried the System Restore to a date earlier than the
administrator's work, but no help. Is their a repair or restore procedure
that will cure this problem? Thanks.
