- Windows XP Setup >> File and settings transfer wizardI hope someone can shed some light on this. I recently
transfered the configuration from a Dell to a compaq with
the file and settings transfer wizard. At first
everything seemed to be OK. The user than began to notice
that there was a lot of hesitation opening up attachments
and e-mails while working in office XP. The event veiwer
is ful of App errors and .MSI errors. I reinstalled
office and that did nothing to help. Is there something I
should have done before making the transfer?

- Windows XP Network >> Automatically launch MSIEHiya folks:
My computer (running XP Home and MSIE 6.0) used to do
this but doesn't do it anymore:
When dial-up completed, it would automatically launch
MSIE. Is there a setting or something to make it launch
MSIE at dial-up?
Please reply to sherahn(remove-this-part)@yahoo.com
Thanks!

- Windows XP >> PrinterHi
I have a HP Deskjet printer that I used with a parallel cable for years and
then changed to USB.
I decided to change it back to parallel to free up the USB for a other
device and not thinking, I plugged it in while the computer was turned on.
Now the printer will not work.
Yes I un-installed and then re-installed it and still it will not even
recognize it.
My question, will plugging it in "hot" damage the cable?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> How to work out 'printing per page' costs?Is there a way that I can work out how much printing costs per page in
XP depending on the printer and if in colour, black & white or paper
type?
If there is an online web calculator or an app that will do this (where
I can input certain criteria) then that would be great.
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Search html files problemI'm trying to find all html files in a given folder that
contain a specific word (JScript function name).
The trouble is that no html files meeting my requirement
are found, even though i'm pretty sure that -at least- one
file in that folder does contain the correct word.
Other file types that contain the same word (including .js
files) are found.
Could you please help me solve the problem?
Sincere Regards

- Windows XP Support >> Constanly getting 'Acquiring network address' message after installing SP2.Hello,
I recently got a friend up and running on a wireless network at home, and
everything works well.
I installed SP2 on his XP Home machine, and everything was fine.
When he got to work and plugged into his office LAN (not wireless) he
started experiencing frequent network disconnects.
I went to have a look and saw that he was getting a 'Acquiring network
address' icon and message popping up on his task bar every few seconds.
Now, his office network uses DHCP, and I can see that he does get a valid IP
with a lease expriring in the future. And he does get a network connection
and can browse the net/check mail for a few seconds before he gets a
'Acquiring network address' message and his network connection is
lost/restored.
So, he appears to get a valid IP and connection, but for some reason it is
resetting every few seconds.
I've googled this and a few others have reported similar issues with no
definitive solution.
Short of doing a repair-install of windows, is anyone aware of this problem
and a fix?
He is also running Norton Antivirus software which I have strongly urged him
to get rid of.
Thanks for any help,

- Windows XP Security >> winlogon.exeI use a piece of security software that flags
winlogon.exe during the login process of an XP client in
a Windows 2000 network. Winlogon.exe attempts to modify
several dll's and some other files during this process.
Is this something that is supposed to occur in Windows XP
and, if so, do you know what files it is supposed to be
modifying?
I would appreciate any help.

- Windows XP Security >> "Windows Login Terminated Unexpectedly"I was on a tournament gaming website. I click on the "battlefields
tournaments" and a popup window showed on my toolbar with an IP address on
it. Next thing I know all my programs that were running shutdown, my desktop
icons disappeared, my toolbar disappeared.
When I boot my PC (Windows XP) it will not login to the desktop, I get a
message that reads: â??Fatal Error: Windows Login Terminated Unexpectedlyâ?? then
my computer restarts, it keeps going in this cycle.
How I can fix this virus/problem if I cannot login to my desktop? Any help
is much appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Can't see network drive contents or print after hibernation.Windows XP pro SP2. Dell D830 (also happened on D810 and D820). I
rarely shutdown when I leave for the day (hate to wait for Symantec to
do it's thing when it's a fresh boot). I generally, hibernate at the
end of the day, come out of hibernation at some point at home, work
for a while, hibernate again and then come out of hibernation when I
am at the office the next day. The issue is 9 times out of 10 when I
get in the office again I can't print and I can only see portions of
my network shares. If I access a network drive I may see 5 sub
folders, sometimes 20, where there are hundreds. If I browse to the
the share, same limited contents. I have a few shortcuts to
frequently used documents on my desktop that become inaccessible. I
also cannot print to any of the network printers. All other network
access is fine. The only thing I can find that fixes the issue is to
reboot. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a service I can
restart that will resolve this and keep me from having to reboot.
Thank you.

- Windows XP Security >> problem xp accessing vistaHi ! I experiencing a quiet strange problem.
I installed a xp pro, not connected to any domain. but I still can access to
the DC by \\server\c$ after being asked for user and password.
But when I try to connect to a regular xp workstation, or vista workstationt
I get " logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type
at this computer".
"use sharing wizard" and "use simple sharing" is disabled on both sides.
But, I if do a network map, specifying the user and password, it works.
So why doesn't it asks for user/password after typing "\\my.pc\c$" ?
thanks !

- Windows XP Hardware >> RRS9002-86XXF (IR remote paired to RXX6000-0141E)A customer that I am building an HTPC for insisted on 2 things:
Windows XP, because his brother says vista is garbage (ugh), and 4G of ram.
That forced my hand and made my only choice windows XP64.
That said I looked at TV cards that came with a remote and said they were
WinXP64 compatible. I ended up with the Hauppage HVR-1600-MCE card with the
subject line remote and IR receiver.
Here is the probelm: The card installs and appears to work fine as does the
software. The remote on the other hand appears to have no drivers. Since I
have never done it before converting the 32-bit INF into something 64-bit
would be quite a challenge, but I am willing to do it if it will work.
I am hoping that someone here somewhere knows if there is an MS driver for
this remote already in 64bit or can help me make the 32bit one into a 64bit
recognizable file so that it will load and see if it works.

- Windows XP >> Problems with programs stallingI have a problem with launching internet connected
microsoft programs such as IE or Windows update. When I
try to launch IE especially it stalls and I have to back
out of it to regain some control. Almost seems like a
virus but ran an up to date Norton scan and no virus's
were detected. Can't seem to regain launch abilities even
with restore. Messenger programs and chat programs run
ok. Any thoughts?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Incorporating C and D in new format partition?Howdy,
When I set up my computer with a large hd, I created a
few too many partitions.
Is it possible to format C: (primary partition) and D:
(logical drive) and incorporate both drives into one,
without having to reformat the entire hd? (I'd prefer to
not to have to reinstall all the files located on my
other partitions on the hd.
Am I stupid?
Please respond to my email address, as I am unable to
remember where the heck I posted this message : )

- Windows XP >> Windows Picture and Fax Viewer problemWhen tryign to open images using the built in 'Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer' I receive the following error:
Windows cannot find 'C:\My Images.jpg'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button,
and then click Search.
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I've gone into the file associations and
associated jpg image to another program, then back to the viewer and it
still gives me the error. This just started happeneing yesterday.

- Windows XP Network >> Can't browse yo my other PCs after a network changeHistory: I hav a home network setup with 5 or so computers. All are running
XP Pro with one laptop running VIsta Home. I have them all setup on the same
Workgroup and have always been able to browse around to the folders I have
shared with no trouble.
Cause: Last weekend my main router died so I replaced it. THe new router
used a different IP set then my old one so now everything has a new IP
address. Everything else is the same.
Problem: One of the PCs cannot browse to any of the others and none of them
can browse to it. I can go to DOS and ping the other PCs by name or by IP,
but when I try to do a \\name\share or \\IP\share to view it, I get the No
such PC error. Also when I go into the network neighborhood, entire network,
workgroup, it hangs for a long time and eventually comes back showing nothing.
I can't figure out what is causing this and am out of ideas. Can anyone
shed some light on this for me? Others have told me I'm screwed unless I
rebuild (which I don't want to do) but there has to be some sort of solution.
If you need more info, let me know.
Thanks!!

- Windows XP Network >> Cannot ping by name or browse by ipI am having the same problem on DSL and dialup line. IPCONFIG shows that the dhcp server has assigned an ip to me and the dns servers are assigned so during connection, I can access the net. Once connected, I can ping any server by ip but cannot ping by name which would normally indicate a dns problem. I have tried different dns servers. I have also tried to browse to http://216.104.... (the complete ip number) and cannot find the site by ip, which does not use dns so it not a dns problem??? Any ideas?

- Windows XP Security >> How to modify the "user right assignment" for computer on domainMy computer is on an active directory domain and running Windows XP
professional, SP2 full patched. The problem was that my computer denied my
access from the network and, after some investiagation, I found out that the
assigned value of the policy of "access this computer from the network" was
blank in the "user right assignment". Then, I tried to add the appropriate
users and groups but the modification didn't work and the policy was still
blank. I am a novice to network, please advise me how to make changes to the
"user right assignment". Any suggestion is much appreciated!

- Windows XP Network >> Networking not working - please help :)I am setting up a wireless network in our office - MAIN computer running XP,
2ND computer running XP Pro.
We cannot run the Network Setup Wizard on the M computer because there is no
floppy. Also - When it says "Select a connection method", the 2nd option
<This computer connects to the Internet through residential gateway or
through another computer on my network> is pre-selected, but is incorrect.
The MAIN computer is connected directly to the Internet via dsl line.
I did disable Windows Firewall, thinking that might be the problem.
We have identified the resources to be shared on both computers.
The 2nd computer CAN get files from the M computer, and is connected to the
internet. The M computer cannot get files from the 2nd compute r- it says
access is denied.
Please help!! We need this running smoothly today. Thanks SOO much in advance!

- Windows XP >> motherboardsJust curious of what people think of motherboards wiith 2 pci-xpress slots.
Is it a 'blip' on the upgrade treadmill or is it here to stay? Or perhaps
just somthing relegated to gamers that would live along side more mainstream
