- Windows XP Hardware >> need a couple sys files from sp1.cabHi, I need some old 1394 driver related files from xp sp1.cab. Any one
still have that around on their drive? I need ohci1394.sys, 1394bus.sys
from c:\windows\driver cache\i386\sp1.cab on a PC that has a pre sp2
install; should be there even if sp2 was added later. I need this in
order to override the XP auto driver replacement so I can put a custom
driver on my 1394 port. Thanks for any help on this!!

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> System restore malfunctionMy system restore does not work on XP SP2. I am getting the following error
message in the event viewer:
Event ID: 7023
The System Restore Service service terminated with the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
I have run the system file checker but that has not restored the service.
Also, when I try to access the System Restore tab in My Computer, the
Properties window crashes and says that rundll32.exe has crashed.
Event viewer shows the following error in the application listing:
Event ID: 1000
Faulting application rundll32.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module
srrstr.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x000099b2.
Any clues from anyone?

- Windows XP >> What services are required for IIS and DAO & MDAC etc?Hi there,
I have a real frustrating thing going on... and I have not managed to sort
it out.
Last week I installed a service pack onto an app I use a lot.
The SP basically wiped my computer out to the point where I thought my hard
drive was stuffed.
Over the course of 3 days I managed to actually get the computer working
enough (albeit very slowly --> 25+ mins just to boot up XP) and I removed
that program I suspect might be a fault.
This sorted it out.
I had to use MSCONFIG numerous times whilst sorting the computer out.
It would seem that MSCONFIG disabled all the SERVICES (as it is designed to)
but for some reason it did so perminantly... i.e. it did not restore them to
how they were previously set up.
I then had to get a list off the net explaining which services I needed to
put back into Manual Start and Auto start mode. All was well...
Yesturday, however, I went to run an .asp based website I have on my local
IIS setup. It has a database that it accesses. Yet I could not longer access
the database.
The Site db access test determines that it does not have the necessary
permissions...
Yet I have not changed the permissions.
I am wondering if there is a service that needs to be running in order for
ADO and MDAC and ODBC etc to work properly?
Does anyone know? Or is there somewhere I can read more on this?
I must say, I have tried starting all that various services that I think
could be related but nothing helped.
Perhaps a whole lot of permissions did get changed during that crash... no
idea. But I have ensured they are set up as instructed in the asp app I
have... no go through. Perhaps ADO / MDAC etc need certain permissions set?
Gosh... I have no idea really!!
Thanks a lot...
My business is on hold until I get this running again...
Regards,
Jonathan

I have a winXP Pro member of domain 2k.
BUT the PC - domain trust is brouken. I can see the computer in AD but I can

I now need to gain access to manage the computer without formating it, so to
manage to unjoin and rejoin the PC from the domain.
The problem is that I dont know the local admin password !!!
I renamed the explorer.exe to logon.scr file (using an other PC), and I have
this system access.
I run the computer management mmc, but the reset password window does not
open.
I run computer properties, but the network indedification boxes are gray.
I can run cmd and regedit
Can anybody help me to reset local admin password ?
Thank you in advanced

- Windows XP Support >> Computer turns itself on.My pc had been running fine until the other day when it began to turn itself
on. It happens after a complete shutdown. It is not a restart problem such as
I have read in some of the messages already posted and in the knowledge base
articles. It doesn't turn on immediately after shutdown; it can be an hour or
more after and even when it hasn't been on at all. It just switches itself
on.
The problem seems to have arisen since I installed a dialler to my internet
provider followed by a major download of critical updates (first time pc has
been online since it was built a year ago) plus I also installed AVG
antivirus, spybot, mailwasher, ad-aware and zone alarm. These are the only
changes made...no changes to hardware.
I have read various posts and knowledge articles but can't find anything
that quite fits my problem. I am not technically minded so please can you
bear that in my mind if you can help me.

- Windows XP Security >> Win XP SP1 prob - no mouseI just installed Windows XP SP1a, but when my Toshiba
laptop restarts, the cPad (touchpad with screen) and
mouse no longer work. While it is starting up, the cPad
screen turns on... but when the XP blue startup screen
comes on, it stops working and so does my wireless mouse.
When I uninstall SP1a, everything works fine again. What
can I do? Is it really necessary to have SP1a? Toshiba
says my model is compatible.
Help please!

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Movie MakerI downloaded the free MS Movie Maker for use with my XP.

- Windows XP Security >> Autocomplete not functioning...I also posted this under "General".
After reinstalling XP and installing all applicable
service packs and patches, autocomplete does not function
in IE. I am posting this under XP because I am also
having problems with the remember password option in the
POP3 setup in Outlook so I think this is a general XP
issue rather than being isolated to IE.
Here is what I have tried:
1. Verified autocomplete settings in IE GUI.
2. Verified auyocomplete settings in registry.
3. Disabled and reenabled settings.
4. Ran all steps outlined in KB # 306895.
The only step that resolved the issue was creating a new
user. The KB article referenced above suggests copying
the profile from the new user to the existing user if
this resolved the problem. However, I do not want to
lose the other settings the current account has.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> XP home networkingI've got a small office with a peer to peer network. I've been using one
computer as a psuedoserver to store common data. We did not have any
problems until we added a few more computers to the network. Now if more
then five or six computer try to access the "mapped" drive, I get the error
"no more remote connections can be made to this computer at this time becuase
there are already as many connections as this computer can accept". Is this
real??? Is there anything I can do to increase the number of connections? I
just bougt a server with Windows server 2003. I assume this won't be a
problem when I get it on line next week???

Windows XP >> XP Woes
I constantly get errors about my paging file being too
small and its well over the recommended 766mb.
Frequently the start bar is inoperable at startup you
must logoff and log back on, msn freezes frequently,
sometimes windows freezes completely. I am wondering if
this is characteristic of anything that can be easily
fixed or if i should just reformat the hard drive and
start over.

Windows XP >> XP Woes
Pagefile too small or Missing
Start/Run/Regedit:
Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\MemoryManagement
There you will find these entries:
PagingFiles:Reg_Multi_SZ:C:\pagefile.sys.
TempPageFile:Reg_Dword:0x1
If the PagingFiles: entry is populated, delete the entire
TempPageFile entry then reboot. Or...
Check your settings here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\MemoryManagement
PagingFiles
Reg_Multi_SZ type
Value for System Managed on C: is C:\Pagefile.sys 0 0
To change the minimum and maximum values, change the 0's
to the Min and Max values you want. Example:
C:\Pagefile.sys 766 1024
You will also need to make this change in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001, ControlSet002 and
ControlSet003 branches, if they exist.
This behavior may occur with certain Intel chipsets -- for
example, the Intel D845WN motherboard or the Intel 815
graphics chipset.
To resolve this issue, download and then install the Intel
Application Accelerator (IAA) for Windows XP. For more
information about how to do this, contact Intel or browse
to the following Intel Web site:
http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa. For more
information about the Intel D845WN motherboard, browse to
the following Intel Web site:
http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/wn/index.htm.
For more information about the Intel 815 chipset, browse
to the following Intel Web site:

Read up at www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm, and the Problems section.
This sounds like either the one about Live Update (and I hear that there
is a new one associated with NAV 2004) or the one with an old version of
Intel's Application accelerator.
Or possibly you have put the file on a different drive and *not* left
the possibility of a small amount on C:

- Windows XP Network >> WinXP Joining Win2000 DomainI recently installed and configured a Win2k Server has the
Domain Controller of my Office LAN and while connecting
client computers to it, the WinXP clients behaved rather
funny. Using the Network ID wizard, the computer joind the
domain and takes the new DNS names. There is full access
to network resources. However, upon shutting down and
rebooting the XP clients, after initial logon during
bootup, each time I try to access a network resource, the
computer asks for my username and password and tells me
Logon Unsuccessful. Remember that it accepted this during
startup. Another point is that some users which were
originally authenticated to logon, now get "The domain
could not be contacted" message.
HELLLLPPPPPPP.

- Windows XP Network >> Hosts fileI would like to edit my hosts file on my Windows XP Pro computer. I would
like to specify the ip address, computer name, and I would also like to let
the computer know that this computer is a domain controller. Can someone give
me an example of the entry I would add to the hosts file?
I also have another question. Ok here's the situation. I have 2 routers, 1
server, and a few work stations. I have a cable modem internet connection
too. My workstations sit behind both routers. My server (webserver &
domaincontroller) only sits behind 1 of the routers. My question is...Is this
unsafe to have a domain controller sitting out there only behind 1 firewall?
Is there a better way (more secure) way I can set this up without having to
buy an additional server?
