- Windows XP >> Looking for a script for NTbackup to a unique file nameI frequently run ntbackup to a second partition on my hard disk as a
first level backup (there are others, believe me.)
I'd like to schedule this. I can't find a script that creates a unique
file name for the BKF file. A name that includes the date, or is an
ascending number would be great.
Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> Unknown publisherWindows XP Pro
Member of Windows 2003 AD domain
One particular app (MAS90 accounting) runs EXEs that are stored on a shared
folder on the server and are accessed by the workstation via a mapped drive.
For some unknown reason, one workstation, two days ago, began to display this
message when opening the EXE:
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this
software?
As I recall, the classic answer to this problem has something to do with
trusting the LAN in IE. However, I do not think anything has changed on the
network.
What causes this? I have seen it happen before - a workstation or server
suddenly decides it no longer trusts EXE run across the LAN.

- Windows XP Setup >> install Kensington USB Bluetooth AdaptorI am trying to install a usb to bluetooth adaptor,
http://us.kensington.com/html/9403.html, on XP machines with non admin users
that have roaming profiles.
Each user has their own adaptor, but for some reason each adaptor when
plugged into the machine wants to install the non signed drivers.
I tried modifying the built in widcom driver to include my device but not
all componets will install without administrative rights. And our
application will not recognize the built in driver software.
Does anyone have ideas to install the software so our users will not have to
be admins to be able to use their adaptors?
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Preview windowHi all.
I have just installed movie maker and am trying to undertake some editing. I
find that when I add clips to the timeline and try to play them, I get sound
but no picture in the preview window which makes editing very difficult. I
have saved to HDD using both the formats (WMV & AVI) and this makes no
diference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

- Windows XP >> Windows xp home locks upWindows XP home edition,
been working fine for about a year.
Haven't installed any software recently or added any hardware.
Current Norton AV flags system as being virus free.
Every so often (about 15 minutes, but it does vary)
the system just locks up. Mouse pointer sits there, system doesn't respond.
ctrl-alt-del doesn't work.
have to re-boot system.
I have noticed that every few minutes, the primary hard drive kicks in
- don't know if this is relevant or not.
Any ideas out there?
oh, I have added a couple of cooling fans recently, they suck air in from
the front over the hard drives - possible overload on system psu?
cheers

- Windows XP Setup >> dual bootHello,
I was wondering if it would be possible to create a dual boot with Windows
XP Pro and Windows 98 SE. The problem is that Windows XP Pro is already
installed and I now want to create the dual boot with Windows 98 SE. Most
sites however seem to recommend to install Windows 98 SE first and then
Windows XP Pro. And I don't feel like spending the whole day, at least,
taking backups and reinstalling programs.
Greets,
Joris

Windows XP >> DWWIN.EXE
The Dr.Watson program that detects errors is failing to initiate at closing
due to the Windows XP is being shut down. What could it be picking up as an
error when I am shutting down my computer.
Another area I have been having problems is with the free earthlink
protection control center that is actually an Authentium antivirus and
spyware program. After installing the program it runs fine for about 3 weeks,
and then my computer starts to crash to the blue screen approximately once a
week. Microsoft error reporting (Dr. Watson) informs that is the Authentium
Program (grtdimon.sys). I have spoke with earthlink, and they have no clue of
the issue, except to uninstall and reinstall. Which I did and after 3 weeks
it starts all over again. Has anyone else had this problem?
The two above problems started at different times.
Does cleaning your registry keys with such programs as registry fix actually
do anything? I ran the free demo program by registry fix it claims I have 512
errors, but need to purchase the program for $37.00 do fix the errors.
Thank you for any imput and ideas regarding the above issues.

- Windows XP Setup >> Installation Problems with XP HomeI am getting the following error messages after installing
MS XP on my new system:
The signature for Windows XP Home Edition Setup is
invalid. The error code is 80096001.
and
Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a
fatal error. The setup log files should contain more
information.
-----------------
I reinstalled the software by reformating the hard drive
and reloading. Still get the same error.
My hardware configuration is a ABits IC7 motherboard with
a Seagate 80G SATA hard drive and 2.6GHz, 800MHz FSB

drivers at the point identified in the initial setup.
Looking for answers.

- Windows XP Support >> windows pop-up partially hidden behind the toolbarOn the toolbar you can normally point the arrow onto the icons next to
the clock (eg, "volume" or "windows messenger")
However the yellow pop up text box is partially obscured by the
taskbar! I've never seen this before.
Is there anyway to force the popup to sit on top of the toolbar so that
I can see the text clearly (it is intensely frustrating to see the top
of the yellow popup but no text, especially when I am wanting to see
how much battery time is left)
Any help gratefully received

- Windows XP Setup >> Regional and Language OptionsHi,
Why the Regional setting doesn't work. For example, the standards and
formats are "Japanese" and Location is in "Japan" (for example Time is
11:00:00). Then if I change the Location to Singapore, the time will be
10:00:00. This is OK. However after a few minutes later, the time is reverted
back to the Japanese time (11:00:00). I can do this many times, but it seems
that the time is auto restored. How to solve this problem, it's very
frustrating....
Regards,
Chris

- Windows XP Setup >> Connectivity ProblemHi Group,
I have just completed a clean re-installation of Windows XP & SP2.
All went OK, until I tried to get online to re-register XP & do some
software upgrades, including my ISP's latest logon package.
Even though the connection icon was in the system tray, and indicating that
I was already online, I could not access any web sites.
After contacting my ISP, and going through everything they had to suggest, I
still could not access any sites. They eventually told me that they could
not help any further, and that it was a Microsoft software issue.
On trying to contact the ISP's ftp server through the cmd box, to download
the ISP connection package again, I get the following message, every time.
.... "No Buffer Space is Supported".
The tech help people at my ISP are unable to help with this.
As I am unable to "get online" from home, where my regular email address is,
could any responses please be forwarded to my place of work, at ...
john.negus@defence.gov.au
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

- Windows XP Update >> What went wrong, how to fix?An acquaintance has asked me to post this here on his behalf, since his
PC
is nonfunctional because of the problem he's described as follows:
*********
My operating system is WindowsXP, my security suite is McAffee 2005
Version
7.
Right after installing XP Service Pack 2, I got this message:
MSKDETCT.EXE
application error "The instruction at OXO15c113c referenced memory at
OXO15c113c. The memory cannot be read."
No matter what I've tried, these errors seem to accumulate and I get
hundreds of the applications running and taking up memory within 10 to
15
minutes. System memory is a used by this error (sic) (?). I cannot do
a
proper system shutdown.
**********
He has data which he has not backed up, so reinstalling WinXP and
trying to
install SP2 again is not an attractive option. "System Restore"
doesn't
solve the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Update >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892937 has the wrong switchIn the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892937 article, it indicated to use
"/quiet /norestart" with the DSUW. It would hang if those switches were
used. The correct switch should be "/q:a /r:n" like the previous
accumulative one, MS04-038. It's really frustrusting that Microsoft can't
document correctly.

- Windows XP Setup >> Boot can't see primary partitionI am trying to enlarge my 4 gig hard drive to a 10 gig one
I used partition manager to copy the whole primary partition to the new
drive, including the OS..
I then did the same with the extended partition. Partition Manager now
shows me what it is supposed to, that there is a 3.5 gig NTFS primary
partition and the rest is a FAT32 extended.
Now the computer wont boot into XP using the new drive: It gets into an XP
boot screen (so something went right), continues for about ten seconds and
then tells me that it cant find autocheck and reboots.
Trying to repair tells me that it cant recognise the NTFS partition as such
and trying to reinstall XP OVER the present installation from the boot discs
gets me to a screen which shows the extended partition as C: and the primary
as E: Needless to say it wont let me do a repair or reinstall on either,
possibly because for some unknown reason, it seems to be seeing the C:
primary partition as an OS/2 boot partition.
Is there any way around this? I cant find a boot disc which will let me copy
all the info on the NTFS C drive to a directory on the extended partition
prior to doing a full FDisk, format and reinstall on what it thinks is the
OS/2 boot partition, prior to copying all THAT directory onto the newly
created C drive again so that I can preserve all my software without having
to reinstall it again. I don't suppose fdisk /mbr will do anything will it
(doesn't SEEM to be anything to do with this autocheck file which seems to
be stopping the present 'installation' of the OS from booting)?

- Windows XP >> Disk Cleanup keeps locking upDoes anyone know what might be causing my disk cleanup to
lockup. I run the cleanup every so often and it's always
worked fine. Recently it has been locking up and I have
know idea why. I tried to use system restore with no
success. Any suggestions is appreciated. I'm using WinXP
on a 2.0 gHz with 256 RAM. It usually took about 15
seconds to run the cleanup, but today I left it running
for about an hour today just to see if it would unlock
itself, but nothing happened. I've also already rebooted
several times , scanned for a virus, and ran the Dr.
Thanks in advance.........
