- Windows XP Support >> Excel 2002 gridlines are erasedI have somehow managed to erase the gridlines in some of the rows of my excel
document. How do I replace them? I am not talking about turning the
gridlines on or off - they are completely "gone." The cell or row has white
space around the area where the gridlines usually are shown.

- Windows XP >> Runtime Errors - What are these?I just purchased a new Dell 2.8 with Windows XP and this
is the most up-to-date and powerful computer I've owned
in my years of using windows and PCs, but for some reason
I keep getting Runtime errors when I browse the web. In
the last 30 minutes I've gotten "A RUNTIME ERROR HAS
OCCURRED. DO YOU WISH TO DEBUG? LINE: 1206 LENGTH IS
NULL OR NOT AN OBJECT" on one website. Then on other I
got, "Runtime error... LINE: 39 ...". It seems to happen
every 3 or 4 sites I click on with dozens of different
line numbers, and whenever I click to DEBUG them, I go
into some programming screen that is well beyond the
skills of mortal men. Does anyone have an idea why these
keep coming up on a new PC on a new Windows Operating
System? Thanks. Jeff

- Windows XP >> BAD_POOL_HEADER error after using DiscWizardI have recently used the Seagate DiscWizard software (by Acronis) to image
and clone my system. After running the clone for a few weeks I discovered
that NTbackup causes a BSOD (BAD_POOL_HEADER, Stop code 0x19, parameter 1 is
0x20). The problem is almost identical to that described in posting "backup
using shadow copy causes blue screen stop" by what
bobfnospam@duxsysnospam.com. If volume shadow copy is disabled, the backup
works properly.
I found that the problems with NTbackup could be fixed by using System
Restore after booting up the clone, to return to a checkpoint made before the
cloning (or imaging) operation. Pesumably, this resets something in the
registry or system files that has been corrupted by DiscWizard.
Unfortunately, I'm not convinced this is the only corrupted aspect of the
system though. Prior to using DiscWizard, my system has been stable for 6
months at least. After restoring the image, I have found other strange things.
For example, the system event log was truncated to the day before the image
was performed, where-as it previously went back to about Feb 2007. More
ominously, I now find that the system is inconsistently updating file access
times. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be totally
random.
I continued working on the original clone for some weeks before I realised
there were problems, when I used NTbackup for the first time since cloning.
However, in tracking down the NTbackup problem, I also discovered that
indexing had been corrupted, system restore was dead, and the sound had gone.
I tried correcting these, but in the end found it was better to start over
again from the system image.
Now my system seems superficially OK, except for not updating the file
access times consistently. Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem?
Is there some utility (other than sfc) I can use to check my system is not
corrupted in some way? I would rather avoid a repair install. I only have a
slow dial-up, so re-downloading years of Windows updates is not an option!
Thanks for any advice...

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Update headacheHello,
Windows Update has been running for several weeks now. It will get to about
46% complete, then I will get a pop up message from Norton Internet Security
showing that â??windows updateâ?? is trying to access my bank account number (it
will show the majority of the account numbers that I identified to the NIS
program to be on the watch for). Why does Windows (or Microsoft) need that
data? It also appears that Windows update is then proceeding to restart the
update because I blocked it from getting the bank account number. It starts
fast; slows down around 30% completes then wants the bank account number at
46% which I block from being transmitted. Are there simply a bunch of
different updates that I am getting, or is Windows starting the whole
process back up?
Thanks very much,
Scott Leslie

Restart it - log in as an administrator, visit
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install all CRITCAL
updates...
You do not necessarily need Internet Explorer 7.0, Media Player 11, etc. Do
not grab ANY hardware drivers from the site.

says cpu usage is at 99%-100%. Even though i am only tryng to open a music

antivirus(AVG 7), 2 anti spywares, (yahoo and ad-aware se) and even did a

- Windows XP Network >> Removing Network ConnectionsI want to remove some unused connections but don't the
option to delete is greyed out.
When you right-click on:
Internet Gateway or Lan High-Speed Internet connections
for example Local Area Connection 2 the delete option is
greyed out. How do I remove unneeded connections?

- Windows XP Network >> Direct Cable Connection Between XP and 98SEI have a relatively new desktop running Windows XP (Home
Edition). I also have an older laptop running Windows 98
(Second Edition). I am trying to set up a direct cable
connection between the two. I have set up similar
connections with the laptop before, but never with my desktop.
I tried to set up my desktop as the host, by creating an
"Incoming Connection" option in my "Network Connections"
Control Panel. I could not get this to work, however.
When I tried to connect my laptop as guest, it would say
that the Parallel cable on LPT1 was disconnected.
I then set up my laptop as the host, and created a "Direct"
connection to it through my "Network Connections" Control
Panel. When I connect in this way, the two computers do
connect, and I get an icon in my system tray telling me
the connection speed and bytes sent and received.
However, I then tried to access my laptop through my
desktop, and ran into troubles. I went to "My Network
Places", "Entire Network", "Microsoft Windows Network", and
finally to "Mshome" (this is the name of my workgroup).
When I double-click on "Mshome", I get an hourglass, and
finally get the following pop-up error box:
Microsoft Windows Network
"Mshome is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions.
"The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available"
I have only one user account on each machine, and they are
both the same name (neither have password protection), so
don't think it's a username/permission problem, but I could
be wrong.
I then searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base and found
Article 298804 stating that I should not have a firewall
set up (I originally did) to do direct cable connections.
However, I undid the option for that connection, and ever
restarted my desktop computer, but got the same result.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> FTP connection problemHi,
I use Windows XP with SP1. I used to use FTP server set up
on my computer as well.
After some problems with IE I decided to use some programs
which suppose to remove any spyware, adware etc. That was
the end of my FTP server.
Other computers are able to see my computer but connection
fails. That is strange that I am able to reach my computer
from computer connected internally in home network.
I noticed two things. If my internal network is active (I
allow to use my computer connected to Internet as gate)
FTP connetion cannot be established - external computes
see me but it seems that there is some kind of time out.
The same if I turn on internal XP firewall - normally I
use Kerio (it is not a reason for my problem, with turned
off I still nothing).
Pings are ok, ports seem to be open.
Any ideas.
Thank you very much for any help.
Best regards,
Fornol

- Windows XP >> DEP and Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services -- Errors!! HELPHi Everyone,
Iv had an ongoing problem for a couple of months now and it seems to
come down to this. I get the following DEP error message: "To help
protect your computer,Windows has closed this program. Name: Generic
host process for WIn 32services. Publisher: Micrsoft Corp."
The following message then appears: svchost.exe - application error. The
instruction at "0x009996bc" referenced memory at "0x0000000". The memory
could not be "written". Click on ok to terminate the program. Click on
CANCEL to debug the program.
I've searched article ID: 875351. But it really does not help.What often
follows is a cascade of services crashing out with abnormal
terminations. Please help it's making me terminally mental!!

- Windows XP Update >> missing proxycfg.exe and winhttps.dllI have been unable to use the Windows Update Site ever since installing the
latest Automatic Updater. When I try to get updates I get as far as the page
"Checking for the latest updates..." and not further and I am getting errors
in the WindowsUpdater.log. I found several threads that seems to describe my
problem but when I tried to run the ProxyCfd.exe too This is not found. I
obtained a copy of the tool from another PC and not is complains that
winhttps.dll is not found. I am running Windows 2000 Pro with SP4 installed
and up until about two weeks ago I was up to date on all available updates.
It would appear I am missing Windows HTTP Services but this was supposed to
be installed with SP3 and SP4. To my knowledge I have not installed
Microsoft XML SP4. Like I said this all started with the install of the new
Microsoft Updater. Can somebody tell me or provide a link to where I can
obtain Windows HTTP Services 5.1 or suggest some alternative course of action.
I do not know if this is related but many (not all) of the icons for
programs listed in the "Add/Remove Program" tool of the control panel are
also missing and this also happened at the same time.
Thank you in advance

- Windows XP Setup >> Upgrade?I have a win98 machine and a W2K machine. We would like to upgrade. The
machines both have the power to run XP Pro. Is XP like 2000 in respect to
upgrading? I was running 98SE, I stuck in my 2000 Full edition CD and it
upgraded for me. Will the full version of XP do that? Or do I need to get the
upgrade CD's.

- Windows XP >> Search for 'A word or phrase in the file'Just started using Windows XP professional and found that

for a text string in files. In a directory with 10 files

tried) it often comes up with many fewer, say, 1 out of 10,

- Windows XP Network >> "disabled" Internet connection sharing is actually workingI have three computers using XP's internet connection
sharing and firewall and all can access the internet. It
is however strange on one of the client computer that it
displayed a "disabled" internet gateway. When I tried to
enable it, it showed connecting...connected... but
still "disabled". It however can access the internet and
only that the window messenger in this machine cannot get
connected.
History on this machine is that I have tried to uninstall
the window messenger and outlook express and then
reinstall them again. Is these related with this strange
disabled ICS while I am still able to access the internet?
