Thanks!

- Windows XP Hardware >> Cannot Install New HardwareI am extremely frustrated with XP. Since installing SP2 I cannot install new
hardware that is supposed to be XP complient and hence has no drivers with
it. I can install devices that have drivers that come with them such as
Pinnacle AV/DV (except for the firewire port). Something as simple as CD
drive or hard disk will not install properly. (I was able to force a new disk
install by manually pointing to the directory Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
to find the drivers. The wizard could not find the drivers on its own and
would always fail. (Code 28.) This does not work for USB or firewire devices.
I installed a new device with another firewire port and it won't load.
Pre-existing (before SP2) firewire ports are OK. Likewise with USB. A new
USB2 device won't load. I go to install drivers from the motherboard CD and
it won't let me as it says XP SP1 drivers should be used. The only drivers on
the CD are for Win2k and Win98. The same trick I used with the hard disk
won't work with the USB drive.
If anyone else has had this problem and solved it I would really appreciate
if you would tell me what you did. I suppose something in the registry is
pointing in the wrong location or there are some files missing, but I can't
figure out what.

- customize >> Can user and admin have the same IE?Hi,
I'd like to have my user account and Administrator account
basically use the same IE or same IE "browsing
experience", in other words, have the same toolbar menus,
same Favorites, etc.
Similarly, when I install theGoogle Toolbar as Admin, it
is not installed for my user account. Can this be
accomplished?
(It'd be nice if they could have the same Desktop, too,
but one thing at a time - I'd like XP to appear no
different between these accounts.)

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> STOP errors caused by a device driver....I hope someone can help me...
I keep getting the blue screen with STOP errors...when I
send the error report to Microsoft, they say the error was
caused by a device driver.
The only thing I've changed lately is my printer. I
uninstalled a Lexmark X73 & installed an HP1100, which I
ended up uninstalling also.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Fun

- Windows XP Support >> How to get Admin password?Im fixing a Compaq pressario laptop for a friend. its got xp home, and
after installing sp2, it gets the blue screen, error stop c0000135 cant
find winsrv
the best I can do is use another winXP cd and get to the recovery console to
try and apply the fix from Microsoft
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=885523#kb4
on deleting registry entries for the sp2, so it can boot.
Apparently while searching for a note about what the password might be, I
find it was sold at comp usa, and they bought a service plan, unconditional.
But guess what? they dont want to offer support, saying I needed to call
Microsoft to ask them what the Administrator password is.
It was setup by comp usa, who apparently setup the admin password. But they
say we would not know what it is and all the data will be destroyed on the
disk because the only way now is to wipe the disk and install everything
again. But I dont have any windowsXP disks, compusa kept them.
Well who cares, you have to buy xp, office, etc, not our problem. Besides,
its too complicated to work thru the registry, thats only for qualified
people, we cant help you, thats like way advanced or something.
Is there any solution?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Mouse Freezes :(This is frustrating...
I recently formatted my harddrives and re-installed
Windows XP. Everything was working fine until my mouse
started freezing at random. It first happened during an
online game of Age Of Mythology. But it also happens
while playing the Campaign in AOM and also when I'm not
even playing the game at all. When it freezes the light
on the mouse is still on but the cursor won't move when i
move the mouse.
I made it so that Windows does not turn off the USB ports
to save energy but the problem still persits.
It is a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1A and I'm
pretty sure I have the latest driver for it (I have
5.1.2600.0)
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Any suggestions appreciated.

- Windows XP >> My Documents folderHello all,
When I open my computer, in the Files stored on this computer, my folder is
empty except for the desktop. ini. When I open My Documents everything is
there, when I access thru docs and setngs everything is there. The only thing
I have done is disk cleanup, chkdsk and defrag, that was a few days ago and
to tell you the truth I'm not really sure how long this folder has been this
way. I don't usually access my docs from there. I run weekly anti virus and
spyware scans, results are clean. I don't even know if this really matters,
but all the other user account doc folders contain their documents. I've even
logged in on each user account and results are the same. Anyone have any
ideas?

- Windows XP Hardware >> "Cannot Install This Hardware" "Access is Denied"Hi,
I am unable to enable or update drivers for my display adapter (ATI
Radeon X300).
I have tried several alternatives that were posted on the Internet and
have found the problem (I hope so). However I am unable to overcome
this.
I have enabled logging whenever the operations (enabling of the
display adapter OR updating its driver) into a file C:\WINDOWS
\setupapi.log.
I further tried to set a registry value that would enable registry
updates to be logged too. (changing the value of LogLevel to FFFF).
However, this did not have any effect (the log did not contain any
additional information).
All the setupapi.log had was Error 5: Access is Denied
I suspected that there was a problem updating the registry and found
that a set of values under a group named ati2mtag was blocked. Even
though I am an administrator I could not delete or modify the contents
of this group. It denied me access.
I would really appreciate a solution, to make those set of keys
accessible once again.
Thanks in advance.

Windows XP Support >> Chinese characters taking over text in other programs
I installed Chinese character support so I can type in Chinese as well as
English but it turned the text and menus in my Intel ProSet Wireless program
into Chinese. I have contacted Intel that said it was a Sony laptop problem
who then said it was a Windows problem. I can no longer view help files in
this program or menu boxes in English. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> PLEASE ANSWER! How to activate UDMA in WindowsXP ?In a same machine I've installed Win98SE and WinXP Pro, 2 hard disks (both
master) and 1 CDROM drive (secondary slave), that supports UltraDMA2.
Win98SE sees UltraDMA in all drives.
WinXP instead set UltraDMA only for hard disks. CDROM drive is set to PIO
Mode!
The WinXP setting for CDROM drive is correctly "Use DMA if available", but
it works in very slow PIO Mode.
Chipset is VIA KX133 of Asus K7V motherboard.
I upgraded CDROM drive to latest firmware.
How can I activate UltraDMA for CDROM drive in WinXP ?
Thank you very much

- Windows XP Setup >> Q: Scheduling Defrag (GUI)Hello all.
I want to run the GUI version of Defrag (DFRG.MSC) as a scheduled task,
but it doesn't work as expected:
Running this .MSC from the "Run..." or DOS box works fine. But if I put
"%WINDIR%\System32\DFRG.MSC" as command-line in a scheduled task, it
just hangs there (presumably awaiting input). Either that, or it starts
and exits right away, depending on the syntax I use.
What I want is for it to run automatically -- and -- perform a disk
analysis of C:
I also tried the following construct, but alas...
"%WINDIR%\System32\CMD.exe" /C START "" /B /I
"%WINDIR%\System32\DFRG.MSC"
(with/out "/I" and "/B")
I know I can use "DEFRAG C: /A", but I want the GUI version. Besides, I
tried that too and it still runs invisibly. Annoying.
Anyone know the magic formula?
Thanks!
M.T.

- Windows XP Hardware >> help on Serial port support for Win XPWe are in manufacturing of EMC products.
We control our few equipment through computer. We have
used RS232 (COM1 OR COM2) as interface port. We have
developed our own application to run these equipment in
Visual Basic. Some applicaions are developed in older
versions of VB. We also include graphics server as a
supporting application. We have used graphics server 4.0
(which supports 16 bit windows).
Now our problem is when we connect one of these equipment
through RS232 port in Win 95 and Win 98 it works fine and
RS232 responds fine. But when we connect this equipmnt
through RS232 port in Win XP RS232 port slows down and
equipment do not work.
Please help us.
