- 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
booted it goes through the XP boot process and shuts down
again 4-5 times before it gets a complete boot and gives
us a login prompt. Anyone have ideas? Further info
available on request.

- 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

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP Start-up DiscHi,
My Brother owns a computer with Windows XP Home installed.
Trouble is it has crashed and taken the hard disk with it.
I need a start-up disk to restart the computer and get him
up and running again.
Can anyone tell me where I can make a start-up disk for
Windows XP Home. (I have XP Pro and am unable to do it for
him!!)
Thanks all in advance..

- 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 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 >> "Wireless Connection Unavailable" after Windows UpdatesOn a freshly installed Windows XP Pro system, I
installed, and had working, a Dell PCI Wireless Adapter
(802.11b) and it was working fine.
After doing "Windows Updates", It no longer connects to
this "unsecure" (no WEP etc.) network, and when I check
the box to allow me to connect anyway, it acts like it
will connect, but then simply goes back to "One or more
wireless connections available" without connecting to
it. As a temporary workaround, I've got a 100 foot Cat-5
cable strung around the edge of the house, but my room-
mates aren't happy with it.
Anyone know a resolution to this problem?

- 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.

- 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 >> NIS 2003 on SP2 and Restore Points failI am building a new system. In installed Windows XP Pro + SP1a, then
installed SP2 and lots of other software.
Finally, I installed Norton Internet Security 2003 with AntiVirus 2003.
The installation process created a system restore point as usual. I
ran LiveUpdate iteratively after the installation to bring everything
up to date.
The next morning, I tried to create a restore point manually. The
process of creating the restore point hung part way through and could
not be cancelled or completed. I had to kill it from the task manager.
I also tried to install another product. That installation too hung
while creating a restore point. Installation could not be cancelled
and I had to kill it too with the task manager.
I then tried to uninstall NIS but the uninstall hung. Perhaps it too
wanted to do something with restore point support?
Finally, I disabled the System Restore feature, uninstalled NIS,
reenabled System Restore, and am now able to create restore points and
install products without any problem.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to resolve it?
Thanks.

How can I initialize this drive or otherwise have it recognized by windows without loosing data?
Will using the initialize feature of disk mangement destroy the data?
What is the best way to retrieve this data?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Your System has no paging file and more errosI reinstalled XP from my cd, to repair after having the

file..etc" when loading my personal settings. Then when
my desktop appears, after clicking ok, I get "Norton
Protection: Attention: access denied drive c" then I
get "c:\windows\system32\keyhost.htm not found".
I followed the steps in Knowledge base article #315270,
but it did not correct the paging file error. I don't
know what kind of Intel chipsets I have so I did not try
article # 316528.
Any advice on how to correct. In another newsgroup I saw
some advice to correct by uninstalling the Intel
application accelerator, but I am not sure about what
that is or how to do it.
