- Windows XP Support >> Mapped NT share randomly disconnects.I have a user with a Windows XP Pro (SP2+) laptop that is having a problem
keeping a shared folder on an NT4 server mapped. It randomly disconnects.
We can't seem to figure out a way to either get it to reconnect or
permanently stay connected. When he tries to access the mapped drive, he
either gets the message that the drive (Z:) is already in use or he gets a
prompt to enter in his user credential (and then a subsequent message
indicating that that user is already authenticated).
We're in a Server 2003 environment and the customer is authenticating to the
domain without any problem.
He is mapping the network drive with the "reconnect at logon" option set.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. I've checked the firewall on
his system and I've tried removing his computer profile from AD. I haven't
tried deleting his user account yet. I'm not sure that that is the cause of
the problem.
If anyone has any suggestions on what else I should look at, I would
appreciate it.

- Windows XP >> Desktop ShortcutI accidentally moved my desktop shortcut from my taskbar
to my desktop, and then tried moving it back. It
appeared it had moved back, but the original file stayed
on the desktop. I erased the one from the desktop
thinking it had just coppied itself, and now I don't have
the quick desktop button on my taskbar anymore. Does
anyone know where to get this file from, or do I have to
restore my winxp to get it? (It is the button that when
you click it no matter how many windows you have open, it
will take you directly to the desktop.)
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Windows firewall won't stay onWindows firewall does not stay on. I have set the firewall to be on many
many times, but for some reason every so often I will get a Security
Center alert saying that the firewall is off. Also, it does not stay on
after a restart - I have to turn it on every time I restart Windows. This
does not happen at the office where my computer has XP professional. Is
there a setting to change to stop this from happening?

I installed software software to allow me to connect through my Sony
Ericsson Z500a cell phone and when I try to dial into my ISP I get an error
message #678 that says the remote computer did not respond. I am dialing the
same number I dial using the phone line, which works perfectly. I have
searched the MS site for solutions but can't find any. I have also
reinstalled the software.
If anyone would have a suggestion for correcting this problem I would
appreciate it.

- Windows XP Security >> Continuing blaster worm problemsI have downloaded the patch for the blaster worm,
installed all updates, renewed my anti-virus protection (
it states no viruses detected)and cannot locate the virus
on my Task Manager (processes tab). My computer works,
but after a while, it will make a highpitched noise as if
there are gears grinding in my laptop. The laptop will
then freeze for a minute or two, and sometimes never get
back to normal. What is going on? Is the virus still,
or could it be damage from the virus? If anyone can help
me, I would sincerely appreciate your time.

- Windows XP Update >> Laptop won't update (Error #0x80072EE2]I've got a Vaio laptop with Windows XP Home SP 1. I haven't been able
to get updates using the school's wireless network since last spring.
Someone on this newsgroup told me it was because I was "behind a
proxy." Whatever that means.
I've brought the laptop home and used the phone line and a dialup. It
still won't update. I get to the choice between Express/Custom. I
click Custom. Then I get a message that update has encountered a
problem and cannot display the updates. Error No. 0x80072EE2.
Note, that I have a desktop computer at home, using the same dialup
properties, also have Windows XP Home SP 1, and can update without
trouble.
What's going on here?

Windows XP >> Laptop shuts off and CPU Usage at 100%
I have a Gateway 7422gx laptop. Recently, it started acting weird. The fan
would run faster than normal for 3-4 seconds and then the whole machine would
turn off. In addition, I noticed the CPU usage is at 100% even without any
apps running. Any ideas?

Windows XP >> Laptop shuts off and CPU Usage at 100%
Checked for viruses/spyware/adware ??
If you hit CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and bring up the Task Manager, you can go to the
processes tab and see what is consuming your CPU.

Windows XP >> Laptop shuts off and CPU Usage at 100%
Check the exhaust vents - make sure they aren't clogged up. Any
contaminates you should try to brush away ( Car Air Vent brush ).
Sounds like the unit is overheating and the BIOS thermal shutdown
threshold was reached. I would download and use SpeedFan to
keep a close eye on the Thermal conditions and fan speeds. Since
a notebook has only the single fan, if it fails the unit will overheat
fairly quickly. Most notebook users are aware of heat - just have
no readily available way to monitor it. SpeedFan found here:
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
**Don't be surprised when you find out what the CPU and Drive
temps are inside the notebook case. ~135-145 Degrees F.

I installed SpeedFan. HD is ay 106F and Core is 104F.
What are normal readings? It is not in "fail" mode now with these temps.

Windows XP >> Laptop shuts off and CPU Usage at 100%
Those temps are fine. Most notebook hard drives are rated at up
135 Degrees-F and CPU limits vary. Most will enter a throttling
mode to try and self-regulate. If that fails then the BIOS control
may take over and shutdown the computer. It's quite normal for
both CPU/Drive and case sensor to abruptly rise whenever the
PC is performing intensive operations . When the workload goes
down (normal/quiescent) then temps will fail back pretty quickly.
Several things make notebooks hotter - sitting on a wood desk is
one thing that cause heat to build-up. A good/inexpensive solution
is a "Notebook Chiller" pad that gets power from a USB port. You
can pick them up at most Office Supply stores and Best Buy for
~$30 or under.

Windows XP >> Laptop shuts off and CPU Usage at 100%
Thanks. I did notice a spike to 133F on the "core" reading. The fan was not
detected. Thanks again for your help.

- Windows XP Hardware >> USB device probs, scanner seems to hang up systembeing new to XP I hope this is not a silly Q.
I connected my scanner and camera to my PC via USB and loaded drivers etc
and all worked fine. I then installed a 4 port USB PCI card and reconnected
these items, the hardware wizard ran and detected "new" hardware and then
loaded the drivers etc.
I have 2 problems.
1. the scanners is listed as "scanner #2" in hardware profiles and in
control panel, imaging devices. The same has occurred for the camera. Why
is this? I have tried uninstall/reinstall and it still lists as #2.
2. The scanner used to initialise immediately after I started up, now it
initialises a few minutes later and if I try opening control panel, or some
applications, they appear to hang until the scanner initialises. once this
occurs all works fine till next reboot.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Filter keysIf you hold down the right shift key for eight seconds
you go into Filter Keys mode. When I did that by mistake
my keyboard got messed up. Caps became lower case and
vice-versa and letters became symbols. I couldn't figure
out how to get out of this for a while but found that by
holding down the right shift key for eight seconds a
second time, everything returned to normal again.
Since then the Filter Keys mode comes up all by itself
every so often without my doing anything. But those times
the result is that the cursor stays in one place and I am
unable to type. Pressing right shift for eight seconds
gets me back to normal. How do I stop this mode from
coming on by itself?

- Windows XP >> Help With Booting XPSome time ago I was asking for help on a mobo upgrade to my PC .. I went from
Intel to AMD and a upgrade to my original disk was suppose to take care of
the HAL files etc. but it never worked. So I installed 2 SATA disks and
preformed a clean install but I left the old IDE disk in to pull data off it.
The problem I have now is .. the IDE disk is C: CDrom is D: and the SATA's
are E: & F: . The system will not boot if I disable the IDE disk ... it tells
me no boot files present or something like that ..... I tried booting off the
cdrom and used the commands to fix the boot sector and install the boot image
...
Any ideas??? also what about the disk labels does it matter if they stay E:
and F: ?? It would probably screw up all the paths in the environment and
probably the Registry correct ??? Can this be fixed ???
Thanks in advance
