- Windows XP >> Copying files across network results in corruptionHello,
I have been having an intermittent problem. One workstation has a user
that copies files to another workstation across the network. Most of
the time the files copy okay. But sometimes
they are corrupted. The method that the user is using is to copy the
local file (Ctrl-C), then open up a browser window of the destination
(i.e. start-run- \\computer\c\drivers) then paste (Ctrl-V).
We first started to notice this when the IP address was
manually/statically assigned. I am not sure if this is the true cause.
There are no IP address conflicts. The cabling seems to work fine. The
network card drivers could be the culprit here? It is most likely the
destination computer as this one is the only one known on the network
to have this problem.
Any hints or ideas here?
Thanks.

- customize >> icons text backgroundSorry! THis is really small, but it's really niggling at
me. I've got XP home edition, and when I started the
desktop icon texts had a transparent background. At some
point they've acquired a coloured background that matches
the desktop's (picture-less) colour. The 'guest' account
still has them transparent, but I can't get them back
like it on my main account. I've tried resetting the
desktop theme, and saving the guest account's theme and
loading that, but none of it works. Please help!

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Genuine Validation ToolHi, Just wondering how this new Validation works with the pirated corporate
copies of XP Pro?
Can you purchase a key from Microsoft online for $281 and it will work on
these copies of Pro?
I did one for a new customer last week using change product key from a XP
Pro SP-2 OEM and the key was rejected?
I have a copy of this corporate version running on my virtual pc for testing
purposes and the only thing that would work is doing a repair install and
using the key provided, is there a quicker way?
what is this KeyUpdateTool.exe used for?, I tried using it also and the key
was rejected is there a special key Microsoft provides you that will work?
What annoys me the most is as a system builder, I have had no warning or
information about this from Microsoft.

- Windows XP Support >> HARDWARE PROBLEM - Please help! :(Thanks for looking :)
My old motherboard crashed so I bought a new CPU, MB and memory. I had
a P4 with DDR mem - I got an Intel Dual Core 3.0 MHz, DDR2 mem. All
other periphs were the same -- but now I get the Blue Screen
occasionally telling me I have "hardware problems."
Did I need to do something different to XP Pro to let it know my
hardware is different? It seems to recognize the processor MB amd
memory...
I'm at wit's end - thanks for any and all help!!!!

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> internet (virus???) issueImmediately after loading XP on my brand new computer, and
while I was obtaining updates from Microsoft, porno pop-
ups began to appear, specifically,
argvideo.com/tool.html. Answering NO to entering that
website, the site appeared to not respond to my attempts
to navigate from it. My PC can not reach the Microsoft
Update site, and the argvideo site repeatedly points my
browser to it. I have tried Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox and Yahoo Browsers. I have tried reloading
Internet Explorer Browser. While attempting to download
anything, my Prodigy connection shows about a 3- to 10- to
1 ratio of bytes SENT to bytes RECEIVED. This happens
only on this PC. Two other PC's work just fine on the
same account, so the problem is in this PC. I have loaded
Trend Micro's PC-Cillin, but am not able to attain a
connection that will permit registration and updating in
order to help find the bug. I don't want to re-load
Windows unless absolutely necessary.

- Windows XP Support >> File annotation utility?I'm using XP Home if it matters.
Does anyone know of a utility that will attach info to a file such as the
originating program (Ntbackup for example), type of file (backup), what's
in it (drive D), etc. File properties don't show this amount of detail.
I tried Google using search phrases such as file annotation, file info,
file data, and file notes. The only one that turned up anything was the
last - a utility called File Notes. This seems to do what I want but I'd
use it so seldom I'm not sure it's worth $49 to me. I was hoping for
something free or more like $15 - 20.
I could put a text file with this information in the folder but that
would be a lot of trouble, meaning I probably wouldn't do it often enough
to be useful.
I don't like to use very long descriptive file names because the file
manager I use truncates the view of such long names. I suppose I could
use My Computer but my file manager is much much faster and handier.
TIA

- Windows XP Update >> After installing SP2 Windows XP Pro. OS asks for activation.Hello, I've got a very strange thing on one of my computers. Windows
Automatic update have installed the SP2 (may be with somebodyâ??s help, but i
don't know). After the installation, every time I turn the computer on or
reboot it Windows asks for activation. I go through activation and it goes
fine. But i can't reactivate every time because I feel like one day it will
fail and what's then. Do you have any thoughts about this problem any
suggestions are appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> Default wallppr path? / how to pckg graphic w/that path in executable for install by extreme newbie in XP?I have tried many times to explain the process for a friend over the
phone and can't be going over there just so I can install a wallpaper
for her <g>. And it's getting to be a pain to constantly be uploading
the file to a website because although it's easy enough to "set as
wallpaper", she really is clueless so that this often doesn't present
a working solution either as we still spend too much time on the
phone.
By far the easiest for me to do would be to zip the file up each time
into an executable self-installing package but with XP, not as easy to
do as in, say Win98SE as I have. I image that something similar in
format to "%system root%" or something might be needed for a path but
haven't tried that on WinZip; I haven't a notion on what to do re the
path. I know that one can browse to any folder and set a graphic as a
wallpaper but it would be easier to use the default path that "browse"
in display will go to.
Anyway, any tips welcome to resolve this 1-yr issue once and for all!
<g> (p.s., a tutoring session that lasted 1 1/2 yielded virtually
little lasting benefit. I thought for sure she'd get the hang of it,
but no go. Tx.)

- Windows XP Network >> Netwok printer issue WIndows XP and Windows 2000There was a similar topic but I believe this issue is slightly
diffrenet.
The problem
The network has predominantly XP Professional on it, and one WIndows
2000.
I need to share out the printer on the WIn 2K machine with one of the
XP machines.
The Win 2K machine can access all the shares on all the other machines
in the network except this one.
The XP machine can also see and access all the shares on the network
except the Win 2K machine.
The message I get on the XP machine is
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was
typed incorrectly or the specified printer has lost its connection to
the server."
What I have done
1) Created a locaol user on WIn 2K machein to match XP user account.
2) Disabled FIle and Print Sharing in Firewall settings on XP mavchine.
3) Deleted and recreated the shared printer.
I would appreciate if anyone can offer any insight as to why this might
be happening.
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Files show up twice in search resultsI've couldn't find an answer to my question else where so I'll ask it here in
hope for an answer.
When doing a search for files , results are duplicated only if the file is
located in "My Documents" folder. The type of file doesn't seem to matter
ie...mp3, txt, doc
I've inspected each duplicate to see if maybe there is a difference, but
they are the same file. (name, size, , location, even date modified)

- Windows XP Support >> Unable to restart in safe mode - stuckMy computer (Dell, XP Pro) has been acting up lately so I read some
documentation on trouble shooting/virus cleanup. The first thing it
wants me to do is restart my computer in safe mode before running some
virus software. Every time I attempted to start in safe mode, by
pressing F8 as it booted, it would attempt to start in Safe Mode and
then come back and say that start up failed and give me to options as
to which mode I wanted to try again. The only mode that would work was
to run XP normally. So, I read the page on a site that indicates how
to run MSCONFIG, select the Boot.ini tab, and check /SAFEBOOT in order
to force a Safe Mode restart
(http://www.the-pc-guru.com/How_to_start_Windows_XP_in_s.php). I did
this and now when I restart/start my computer it attempts to restart in
Safe Mode, fails, and then gives me to options as to which mode I want
to start in again. Safe mode fails every time just as before - but
here is the kicker - now even if I choose to start in Windows normally,
it still attempts to start in Safe mode no matter what, because I made
the change in the MSCONFIG. My question - how can I force it to either
start in regualr mode again, OR, how can I make the safe mode start up
actually work? Please help!

- Windows XP Hardware >> Can't burn DVD's using Windows or NeroI swapped out a Lite-on LTR-52327S CD burner for a Toshiba DVR-110 DVD
burner. Thinking I'd save myself some hassle I just swapped the drives in the
bay, leaving Windows to assign the same drive letter used for the CD for the
new DVD. Windows recognises the device as a "DVD-RAM" but won't burn any type
of DVD format. It reads pre-existing DVD's OK. There's minimal info on the
KB, but one suggestion was it may be a Registry problem, potential solution
was to uninstall the hardware driver and force a hardware scan. I've tried
this twice with no difference. Anyone out there experiecned this and offer
some help?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Ethernet Problems - Application ErrorMy OS is Windows 2003 Server, beta version. The computer
runs fine UNLESS I plug in the Ethernet Cable. When the
computer starts up and enters Windows everything is fine,
but after about 2 minutes there is an error like this:
svchost.exe - Application Error
X The instruction at "0x7572eb3c" referenced memory
at "0x90909090". The memory could not be "written".
OR
X The instruction at "0x77ce5617" referenced memory
at "0xd8eaeblc". The memory could not be "read".
Then the computer gives me 60 seconds and automatically
shuts down.
I've tried swiching the Power Strip, the CAT5 ethernet
Cable, the Ethernet Card, and I took out each of the two
RAM sticks and tried them one at a time. After all that
I figure it must be a software problem. What can I do?
Thanks,
Dan

- Windows XP Network >> Post method="form" does not work on serverAre there any settings on IIS that affect if POST method works? Sometimes
POST does not transmit any information OR sometimes it even does not pick up

I'm trying to find out if this is a bug or if somebody is "trying out" some
settings that I do not know about.
I believe we use Win NT.
Thank you,
