- 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

- Windows XP >> from windows 98 to windows xp professionalI am far from being an expert and that is why I want to play safe. I have
windows 98 in my desktop and want to migrate to windows xp professional. How
difficult or how easy is it? Am I too naive in believing that all I need to
do is put the CD and follow straight forward instructions? thank you

- Windows XP Support >> Reversed browse list...?I'm having an issue with my browse list...
Like say I want to upload a mp3 file onto YouSendIt.com. When I click on
the browse button and search for whatever I'm looking for, the list isn't in
A-Z order...the list is backwards, Z-A order. Even if I right-click and
arrange it back to normal order, it always come back the same way after I
close it. I already tried restoring all my folder options back to default
and restored program things back to default, but it still didn't do anything.
I mainly use FireFox as my default browser, but the same thing happens in
Internet Explorer. I'm not sure if I did a certain keyboard combination or
not, but it's really annoying to keep seeing the list in reversed order. Is
there any way this could be fixed? Thank you in advance!
Oh, and here is a picture to show what I'm talking about:

- Windows XP Support >> SP2 install copy errors.I am attempting to install SP2 on a XP Pro machine. When I try I get the
following errors.
First, I get a â??Setup cannot copy the file type .wavâ?? error. When I click
on cancel it says it will continue with the setup without coping this file.
I get this error for the next 6 or more files then it continues with the
process.
After sometime I get another Copy Error dialog box. This one says â??An error
occurred while copying file xpmsgr.chm. Cannot copy file to destination
directory.â?? This time when I click on cancel it states that the SP2 install
will cancel and does. During the closing of the process I get another window
stating â??the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.â??
I have tried the following, none which worked.
I ran SFC /scannow. Problem still occurs.
I tried to install in safe mode. No luck.
I disabled Anti-virus programs. Still no luck.
I tried to do the update via Microsoftâ??s website and directly from a SP2 CD.
Same error for both procedures.
I need to get this computer up to date, but canâ??t get past this error.
Any advice or ideas are appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

- 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 Setup >> Right Click Desktop
Hello,
After installing 4/06 updates from MS, when I right-click my desktop, my
computer just pauses for 30 seconds - eventually the dialog box shows up.
It never did it before and none of my other computers without the update do
it. It is very annoying and time consuming. Any patches or fixes short of
uninstalling the updates (they won't show up in Add/Remove programs anyway.)
Thanks,
Bob

Quite a few people have experienced difficulties after installing
KB908531. Go to Add/Remove Programs and mark the checkbox to Show
Updates and you'll be able to see KB908531 and uninstall it.

- Windows XP Support >> DebuggingHi,
I installed and uninstalled:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86)
- Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)
However, my pc has set as default Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger as my
pc's debugger. What setting needs to be changed so that I can set the
original debugger as default.
Yesterday I downloaded Microsoft's debugger, dbg_x86_6.6.03.5, but it hasn't
helped.
What can I do and how do I do it to fix this problem?

- Windows XP Hardware >> The best upgrade?I know that conventional wisdom dictates that the easiest PC upgrade
is to increase the size of the memory.
But in my particular case,if I were to do one thing, should I increase
memory to 2GB, replace my old video card (all-in-wonder 9600, no dvi
output) or add a faster (SATA) hard drive?
Details of my system:
2 Corsair 512 MB PC3200 DDR400, Value Select
AMD Athlon 64 3800+, 2.4GHz, 512k Cache, Socket 939

- Windows XP Network >> Windows xpe dial up networking problemsHi all,
having started work in the thin client systems arena, i have
encountered a wonderful bug in a large section of the thin clients
being produced - the networking has been cut and slashed to shreds.
my initial problem was simply, trying to install a generic modem driver
in order to attach my wavecom gprs modem. the problem? there is no
generic modem driver on xpe.. there are NO modem drivers. at least not
on this version (this is manufacturer standard incidently, i had
changed no settings by this point)
finally, after battling to get a modem installed, i got one up and
running, setup on com3 without any complaints, conflicts or major
issues. it recognised in the device manager as active and was able to
be used.
upon creating a dial up connection using the windows wizard, it
immediately became unavailable - the error message being "unavailable -
device missing." this was before i got to check or change any settings
on the account. when i checked the properties of the dial up
connection, in the modem field it read "modem removed - missing device
(com 1)"
this, despite there being a functional modem set up on com3.
i then went to the groups and have had no luck finding any solutions to
this problem.. my suspicion is that the networking has not been
installed properly, which would result in a reload of xp. however, this
is not xp, this is xp embedded.. no way i can do a recovery install.
this happens on every unit i've tried so far, so it's not isolated.
in desperation, i followed a microsoft support base articles advice
which had a step requiring the clearing of the autodiscovery/autopurge
information in the registry, which landed up in a unit bluescreening on
boot! the exact stop message being 0x0000007f (faulty drivers - always
a possibility, though i haven't done any driver installations beyond
the modem, overclocking - not possible as none had been done, or faulty
components - unlikely due to it occuring after a software change)
so, i'm one thin client pc less, and no joy yet. my apologies for the
long post, but i wanted to detail the fact that i have taken steps to
resolve this without joy, including having a look at many posts on the
board.
further information -
modem is external wavecom fastrack gprs radio
have connected to com1 with no joy (modem detects, dun doesn't)
have connected to com3 via a usb to rs232 converter with no joy (modem
detects, dun doesn't)
have connected the modem to a pc, running xp sp2 and it connects
perfectly.
tried to create a pppoe connection, but it yields the same problem
(unavailable device on com1)
have checked registry entries in telephony, searched for entries
containing modem com port.
have used the gpe to check the default internet connection settings
ensured that the appropriate services were running.
ensured that tcpip connections were working on the onboard lan
anything beyond this is beyond me.
help!
Regards,
Kaleem
