- Windows XP >> Graphics card upgrade questionNot sure this is the best place to ask but....
The graphics card in my 5 year old WinXP PC has died. If I install a more
modern graphics card will I have problems with the old drivers preventing XP
producing a display? ..or will XP detect the incompatible card and default
nicely back to VGA and allow me to install new drivers ?
It was a Gainward Geforce 4 Ti 4400 and now it's smoke. I've actually found
someone with a nearly identical Gainward Geforce 4 Ti 4400 for sale but they
want nearly £70 for it.

- Windows XP Setup >> ie7 on a new deployed machine automatic settings?I am deploying a bunch of new machines running XP. I use WDS to do the
capture and deployment. It all works great. The one issue that bothers me
is this. On IE 7, when a new user logs into the computer. They get that
Microsoft default screen asking to choose settings, etc. I don't want it to
do that, plus I want a specific web page for any user logging in to teh
machine, without me having to login as them and setting up the default web
page etc. What's the best way to accomplish this?

- Windows XP Hardware >> USB flash drive issueSeems like lots of people have issues with flash drives. I
have a Lexar pen drive that works just like I want, but a
storix axis one doesn't. At work, XP home formatted the
drive, and I can read or write to it fine there. It shows
up assigned to drive letter E. At home, when I plug it in,
device manager sees it correctly, and says there are no
hardware problems. Win Explorer on the other hand, clocks
for about 3-5 minutes (seems to hang), and will not let me
touch the drive letter, although it shows as assigned to
F. If I force my way through and wait long enough, it says
the drive is corrupt. The manufacturer's site has no
support for it, doesn't respond to email, etc.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Help with scrolling creditsThis is the first time using WMM2 and after getting my video imported I
decided to make some credits but soon reliazed a draw back. The credit
animation I want to use is the Scroll, Up Stacked. What I am needing to do
is get a list of people who are all in one group listed in the credits but
when I enter in the text there is a large gap between the members names. Let
me give you a example.
I want to add a group named Committe Members and have 7 different names
listed. The credit title page where you can enter in the information is
layed out like a spread sheet with two columns. I entered in "Committe
Members" on the left hand column and on the right side column I entered in
the first member (John for this example.) I then entered the second member
on the line below John (row 2 right side column) and lets use Mary for this
one. The result looks like this
Committe Members
John
Mary
But what I want it to do is look like this
Committe Members
John
Mary
I can't seem to figure out how to do this or if it is even a option. I have
tried to do a CTRL-Enter as in most cases this lets you enter a line break
when enter is mapped do a different function but this does nothing.

- Windows XP >> System FreezePlease someone help me if you have found any info on
this. After about 15 min or so my system freezes just as
many other people have reported. It seems to happen when
I click my righ mouse button. The only was to resolve it
is to reboot which is really a pain. Hopefully someone
from Microsoft will read this. If anyone has found a fix
or has a suggestion please let me know..

Windows XP Security >> Changing Windows XP Professional Operating System Password
I have a computer that I would like to give to my daughter. It is password
protected at start-up - not user password. Before I get to Windows XP it
asks me for a password. I have to type in the password in order to get into
XP and the user/adminstrator passwords. Does anyone have any idea how to
change this password on start-up or to delete it all together. This was a
business machine and would not like to give out this password.

Windows XP Security >> Changing Windows XP Professional Operating System Password
Cathie;
That is the BIOS password.
During boot there will briefly be a message similar to "Press ** to enter
setup"
Typical keys are F1, F2, Esc, Delete and others.
Immediately press the key.
You will then need to navigate to the section about passwords.
Since this is a motherboard and not Windows issue, different manufacturers
do it differently.
Check your manual and/or contact the manufacturer for details.

- Windows XP Setup >> Sound recorder problemI installed a new sound card because my onboard sound chip was poor. The new
card is Audio Extreme 5.1 (two-speaker setup at present) and works fine with
CDs, MP3s, streaming audio etc.
However I can not get Sound Recorder to detect any sound at all. I have
Audacity but that doesn't detect any sound either. I have checked that
nothing is set on 'mute' and that mixer defaults are OK but still nothing.
Could it be that Sound Recorder / Audacity are still 'looking' at the old
sound chip? If so how can I persuade them to see my new card? The old chip
does not appear in the list on Device manager.

- Windows XP Security >> Mystery user account status changeOne of my administrator accounts "disapeared" off the welcome screen, from
User Accounts applet and when I finally was able to access it via
Ctrl+Alt+Del twice, it had lost administrative status and locked out of using
any programs. After some investigative work I discovered via control
userpasswords2 that this account was now listed as only a "debugger" account.
I also found that the hidden administrator account was now listed as a
debugger and an administrative account. I know what debugger privlege is, but
I do not know how the heck this account suddenly altered its status, and
slipped off into Never Never Land. I and my spouse are the only two users on
our Home Network currently, I have a comprehensive Internet Security Suite by
Panda, Two firewalls, one software on each system and one hardware on the
Router, no confliction between the two, one computer is a Dell Demension 5150
with a Pentium D 2.8 mhz, 4 gigs ram, 300 gigs hard drive, Nividea graphics
with 256 shared ram, and is approximently six months old, the other is a four
month old HP, with a Pentium D 2.8 ghtz 1 gig ram, 250 hard drive, G-Force
video card with 128 shared ram, both hooked up to a Belkin N Router with
coresponding Belkin N Adapters, two printers and that sums up our Home
Network.
Just one day my husbands account was not listed on the welcome screen and
when I used my administrator account I found his account not listed on the
User Accounts applet either. I did noticed his account was still logged on,
so I did a double Ctrl+Alt+del action and brought up the classic logon dialog
box which enabled me to logon to his account. While in his account I kept
getting "This account does not have sufficiant previleges to run this
program" and it kept popping up for nearly every program installed on the All
Programs Menu. I then logged off attempted a reboot, which of course did not
fix anything, then went back into my admin account opened a command prompt
and accessed control userpasswords2 and there changed the account back to an
administrator account and also took debugging off the hidden administrator
account as it is not needed to be listed as such when it is an administrator
account which has full access to all processes, programs, services, tools,
and full privleges.
I am hoping somebody out in cyber space will have an idea what happened
here. While I was able to fix this rather easily, I am uneasy not
understanding what occurred on his machine. I did a full virus and malware
scan on both computers and both came up clean. I have not had any reports
logged on either firewall of any unauthorized access either, so I am just
rather stymied on this occurrance. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
in advance,
Seree

- Windows XP >> XP Pro no shut downI am running XP Pro and for reasons as yet unidentified, it has quite
shutting down properly. I get the message that says "Windows is shutting
down" but then instead of the screen going black, it goes blue and stays
there.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Fortunately it reboots ok, so
far, but blue screens in Windows XP make me nervous <g>

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> playback hang-upsWent to papajohn site very informative but no luck for my particulars which are
Video captures fine from my sony mini DV cam and saving back to mini DV gives good results as well. Its the editing and MM clip playback on the MM2 monitor pane that is very unstable and sometimes results in the infamous error report. I should add that the audio is played back without interuption, its really only the compressed video file (I think MM2 call this a movie maker project file) that seems to have the problem in stability, meaning when i play back the (edit in process project file) timeline it almost seems that the graphics card (in my case a graphics adaptor intel 170) is trying to catch up with the speed of the video images, the result of course is a highly unwatchable product. I checked the codecs through the XP direct diagnostic tool and did not see any that matched ones listed at papajohns site.I also tried the settings on the accelerator but to no avail. I should also add that MM2 does save the last edit when there is an error crash (hang-up), a window comes up asking me if I want to retrieve the lost data, so eventually I can finish the edit but what a pain. Anybody have anything new to add? Papajohns comments are always aprreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> XP SP2 Windows Firewall Local AdministrationActive Directory environment, 1000 clients.
We manage XP SP2 Windows Firewall settings with domain Group Policy and it
works just fine.
But, occasionally we really need a local administrator (typically a domain
account that was delegeted with complete FULL CONTROL of the entire OU and is
also in the local Administrators group in the client computer) to be able to
log on locally to the client computer and toggle on and off Windows Firewall
for debugging purposes.
I find it hard to believe that once GPO is applied we cannot grant the local
administrator of our choosing the power to toggle Windows Firewall on and off.
Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Security UpdateI tried to do the http://www.winxpnews.com/rd/rd.cfm?id=040203CO-555027 and I followed all the directions but it still didn't work. I am still having trouble Downloading my update. I keep getting a box that says Software Update Incomplete. To install the updated software and access Windows Update, Interent Explorer secutiry must be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and initialzation of ActiveX controls must be enabled. Note: These are the default settings for Interent Explorer. For more information about IE security and instructions on how to change your security settings, read Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) Article Q174360
I am so tired of this response and want to resolve this problem as soon as possible.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Sound Problems...Over the past couple days, I've lost Most of my PC's sound capabilities.
Most program sounds do not sound (welllll..some are a very Faint
sound)........yet WinXP LogOn/LogOff & a couple other program sounds are
heard, Clearly. Nothing has been added/subtracted from the system.
Device Manager shows no warning signs & am unable to find anything amiss
in Event Viewer. I've checked the connections numerous times & all seem
to be OK. Have already done CheckDisk & Defrag.....no malwares found by
AdAware, SpyBot S&D, or AVG, btw. Nothing is muted, & all audio
properties are enabled & 'volumed'.
Here's the clincher...... I gave up a few minutes ago & decided to post
a question regarding this matter. Miraculously.......a few seconds
later, all sounds seem to have re-appeared! Cyber Gremlins? A similar
situation has occured on this system Once before, with a similar
Unexplained cure.
Please........enlighten me, if you can, as to the cause/cure.
