- Windows XP Update >> Lost product keyI have a windows Xp pro upgrade disc which I used on my newer machine. This
machine was damaged when my home was flooded. My insurance didnt cover the
loss of this machine, so i have had to get my old back-up system from the
attic. Unfortunately it was running 98se which I would like to upgrade using
my XP disc, however the product key was irreperably damaged beyond
legibility. Now I cannot recover the product key to install this upgrade.
ANY ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Windows XP Crash intermittentlyI have recently installed a new hard drive (after my old one failed - on Sony
Z1VA notebook computer), loaded appropriate drivers, and some new programs
(Kapersky 6.0, Acronis Disk Director, Windows Outlook 2003). I also have an
external hard drive installed when at home. I have suddenly begun to
experience the Blue Screen of Death when attempting to connect via wireless
at my local library to their Public WiFi service. I've never had this
problem before, and it does not occur at my home wireless network, with or
without connection to the external hard drive. It only happens when
connecting to the Public WiFi.
In looking over the Event log, I noticed the following Erroor Code that
seems to be associated with the crash event:
100000dl, parameter 1 02010405, parameter 2 00000002, parameter 3 00000000,
parameter 4 02010405
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is that is causing the system
crash? Thanks.

administrators access back!
Thank you.

- Windows XP Setup >> Manually Configuring Resource ControlI heard back from tech support for my motherboard in
regards to why I can't have both my AGP graphics card and
mass storage hard drive/ide controller working at the
same time. They suggested that I do one of the following:
1. move your controller card to different PCI slot and
try. (tried already)
2. configure Resource Control By MANUAL under Integrated
peripherals, you could assign the IRQ to any PCI cards on
your system.
3. upgrade your Operating System, eg. windows 2000 or
Windows XP. (I'm running WinXP already)
How do I do number 2?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> keyboard driver for Sony VaioSince upgrading from Windows ME to XP Professional on my
Sony Vaio Notebook series PCG Z505GA my keyboard
malfunctions. First of all, the function keys (fn) no
longer function with the battery level, sound volume
brightness and similar functions. Secondly, the cursor
jumps all over the page when I am in a text document. It
did so again while I was typing this.
Some one said I need a driver for XP from Sony. If that
is true, where do I get it?
Otherwise, what's the problem and how do I fix it?
Help please!
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Sob story - help!I had aproblem with XP after years of trouble free running - just kept
getting the BSOD every time when booting. To cut a long story short, I
decided it must be some sort of corruption on the HDD, so I reinstalled XP
with a formatting of the c: partition.
However, even that gives the BSOD when I try to boot even though it
installed OK!
I've tried MEMTEST, and that looks OK.
The CPU temp is OK.
I have a RAID setup with a c: partition (system and reformatted) and d:
untouched from previous install.
All BIOS settings are at default, and basically nothing has changed from the
setup that was working perfectly for some time.
What could be happening? I'm tearing my hair out - especially as I've lost
some critical data!

trying to do this for months. I need help, please reply

duh, there are lots of reasons to change product key - which is why
Microsoft discusses it, but they only bother with the pro version.

- Windows XP Support >> My sound scratch.Sorry, if I have some bad English :p
Well, when I'm playing a song, or my computer makes a noice, the sounds make
some funny things.
"I'm clo-o-osing the-e go-oo-d da-am-n doo-or"
When I have a fast internet connection, then there's nothing, but like now,
when I'm having a slow connection or none, then it's very bad.
And I have just formated my computer. It didn't help.
What can I do?

- Windows XP Hardware >> os on 2 drives?I had a 60g Max drive. I installed a 160G Seagate drive. I used the Seagate
software to move everything to from the 60G to the 160G. Everything looked
like it worked fine. About a year later, I decided I wanted to wipe the 60G
clean and use it for backing up. I wanted to test to make sure the 60G was
not part of any program, so I disconnected the 60G and booted up. The
Windows xp prof o/s was different. My desktop, settings... When I connected
the 60G back, windows worked fine.
What is wrong? How do I find out what files are still on the 60G that are
being used, and how do I move them to the 160G?
Thanks, Jeff

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Keep soundtrack & video timelines together when inserting new videOne problem I have in WMM is when I have made detailed edits to the audio
timeline and then go back and drop in more video. I need a way to tell the
application to keep my audio track aligned with the video track, even when I
drop in new video toward the beginning of the timeline. As it is now, if I
drop in new video at the beginning of the show, I have to go back and
manually re-align the audio with the video because it all gets out of sync.
Does this make any sense? The only workaround I can devise is to just not do
any work on the audio track until after all video has been put into the
show, but that kind of defeats the point of nonlinear editing. i'd like to
be able to just use the mouse to select a segment of video and audio,
right-click it, and say "keep these in sync" and know what whatever I drop
onto the timeline before this segment wouldn't push apart my audio/video.

- Windows XP Support >> Transferring Windows XP to new computerI will be upgrading my computer at home and want to use my current hard drive
with Windows XP Pro (OEM version) in the new one.
I have searched the newsgroup and it appears that because it is an OEM
version I may not be able to change computers.
Does this mean I have to buy another version of Windows XP?
Can I install the OEM version to the new computer's hard drive and then
transfer the rest of the hard drive? What would happen when I had to register
it again?
Help.
Thank you.

can't figure out how i did it first time round. Anyone?

- Windows XP Support >> XP Home updateI am having trouble with KB928366, for .net1.1
I have followed the instructions for an answer I got a few days ago, which
suggested I remove .net1.1 and then reinstall it.
I cant remove it because it says that the "installation source is not
available" and it wont install using the download, saying "installation
failed contact the supplier"
The updates still exist in my system tray, and every time I shut the machine
down it tells me there is something about to install, but of course it sits
for a while then shuts off.
Any idea what I should try next

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Vista Keeps Offering Me the Same 27 UpdatesNo matter how many times I check for updates in Windows Vista (Home Premium)

updates available for installation. I always elect to install the updates
and I let the machine reboot like 5-6 times and wait (about an hour) for it
to finish. However, when it's done, it still offers me the same 27 pending
updates. What's going on here?
