- Windows XP >> System Restore Question-Please Help!Every time I use the System Restore function approximately
2.2 Gb's are added to the used space on the hard drive, or
(C:). It is now up to 49 Gb's and the free space is going
down. What is causing this as the Hard Drive should only
be about 10 Gb's or less with the programs that are
installed. Is there a setting to get rid of the extra Gb's
system restore is adding to the used space without losing
information.
Thanks in advance for your time!!

- Windows XP Setup >> Sysprep problemsHi,
We are currently trying to use Ghost 7.5 to deploy XP Pro machines. We
create an image run sysprep, then take an image dump. That works fine and
afterwards the machine goes through the setup. So we know sysprep works fine
as teh automated setup finishes without a problem. The problem occurs when
we try to image a machine that has a different hardware spec. The image
loads ok to the machine. However on restart the machine goes into a loop,
whereby you get the options to boot up, safe mode, normal etc. But no matter
which option you choose the machine reboots and goes round in this cycle.
Any ideas??
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Help.Hello people. So I decided to use Vista so I bought Vista.. Now Vista wasn't
actually 'my' style... So I wanted XP back (I installed Vista on Partian D:\
and XP on C:\ )
I got bored from Vista so I decided to delete it. So I formatted my D:\
partian. Now I get this 'error' to choose 2 operating systems. But I only
want to use XP cause Vista is gone but I can choose it.
Now the question is. How can I go directly to XP without that 'choosing'
paging on the boot?
Any help would be great.

- Windows XP Support >> can't start windows normallyHi
First of all I am on XP PROFESSIONAL. I think my computer might be
infected by a virus so i tried to get to safe mode to run antivirus
software. After trying to get to safe mode many times and
unsuccessful, I read some articles that suggested the configuration in
msconfig within Windows. I went to boots.ini I think and choose -safe-
mode. After applying changes, I re-started the machine and ever since
I never get pass the screen with choices to pick
safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with dos
Start Windows normally
I chose every single option 1 at a time but it seems to always take me
to a 1 sec blue screen of death and re-start itself, then show me the
options above then go to the blue sceen again. I dont seem to be able
to pass this. I think it may be because of my msconfig so i wonder
Is there anyway I can override msconfig? I cant even get to the dos
mode.
What should I do?
Super sad now, I am totally have urgent work to do. Stupid virus.
Help me please
many thanks

- Windows XP >> cursor jumping aroundrecently, as I'm typing, the cursor moves to places that are crazy. Like
when I was typing this first sentence, twice the cursor jumped backed and had
me typing in the middle of previously typed text. Sometimes it will delete
what I've already typed as I'm typing and I don't even realize it until it's
too late. When I'm typing an e-mail it will jump to the To or Subject line.
For example as I was typing the last sentence I got to the word e-mail and
the "mail" part ended up at the end of my Subject above. Do you know how I
can correct this?

- Windows XP >> XP ProI'm using XP Pro, I changed my security rights on the C
drive to give someone else access and now seem to have
lost ALL permissions on the primary drive (the only
drive). When I boot I get the background wallpaper and
the mouse pointer but that's it. Safe mode does the same
thing with an all black screen. It acts as though nothing
has permission to access the c drive and therefore
won't boot at all. Any ideas on how to solve this
problem? How can I regain access to the c drive?? Thanks
for any help you can give me.

- Windows XP Support >> MCE 2005 update caused problemsI updated my computer to MCE2005 just yesterday, now outlook is missing a
Cab.file.511974.mainsp3ff.msp, my McAfee SpamKiller no longer recognizes me
as the administrator, it also is no longer filtering my email. I am getting
all kinds of error pop up boxes that I never had before for all sorts of
programs. I have spent over 15 hours with McAfee live chat trying to fix the
problem, they finally admitted that the problem might be with the MCE
upgrade. My computer is brand new. There has got to be a way to either
revert back to original program or fix all of these problems.

Windows XP Support >> Minimized programs
Everytime I try to start a game from the CD-Rom the program starts but
Windows XP minimizes it and it will not let me open it. I can hear the
program running but I can not get to it. If I try to close it down it tells
me it is not responding.

- Windows XP >> Access Denied on XP shared treeHi All,
You've all heard this before, but please bear with me, just in case I
say something new...
I have a small, 3 PC home network. The PC on which I keep shared
items (the "server") runs XP Pro. It is a newer PC, with a fresh
installation and no old hard drives installed. The other two PC's (the
"clients") run XP Home. If these two were dogs, they'd be mutts. Although
I built all three, these two contain parts I don't even remember putting in
them. All three PC's are up to date with Microsoft Update.
I have a large nuber of shared files on the server for the other two
PC's to access (nearly 15,000 to date). Yes, many are MP3's.
Without exception, all of the files work fine on the server PC. They
do everything that could reasonably be expected of them. On the client
PC's, all of the files appear in Windows Explorer, but that's as far as
"work fine" goes. Many do not play. If I try to copy them from the
server, I get an Access Denied error (permissions, disk full, armageddon,
etc.).
--------
Observations & Trials:
Even though the server PC is new, with a single, new, 80GB hard drive,
and a fresh install of XP, I tried the "take ownership of your
directories" fix. No effect.
I have tried the "turn off simple file sharing" fix. No effect.
Within a given directory, some files are okay, some are not.
There does not seem to be any correlation between a file working or
not, and its size, the length of its name, the order or date at which it
was written to the directory, etc.
In the interest of heading off the smart-asses among us, there is also
no correlation to the genre of the music, the talent of the artist... :-)
Working and "broken" files appear to have the same permissions,
ownership, and other properties set.
The same shared files behave the same way on both of the client PC's.
When I add new files, they are often added "en masse," as I digitize
my old albums and tapes. I generally copy 20'ish files at the same time,
using Windows Explorer, from my "rip and clean" area to the shared area.
When accessed from one of the client PC's, some of the new files work and
some don't.
The fact that both clients act identically, tells me the issue is on
the server. The fact that the files work fine on the server tells me the
issue is with file access, not the files themselves.

What the hell? Anybody?

What is this and what do I need to do to correct the

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Problem importing mpeg into Movie Maker 2.0Dear all,
Recently, when I import mpeg files into Windows Movie
Maker 2.0 or MS Producer for Powerpoint 2003 and then
drag the video clip to the timeline, only the audio track
appeared there. When I play the video, no video is played
in the Video Preview window. Instead, a pop-up windows
named "Active Movie" will take control and play the video
outside. I guess some plug-in related to MPEG in the
Windows XP is missing because videos with avi or wmv
format play normally in the above application.
Can anybody have similar experience or find any solution?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> USB Hard Drive Recommendations (w/DOS drivers)Anyone know of a manufacturer that makes USB hard drives (100Gb to 200Gb
range) that also have DOS drivers for them so they will work with either
Ghost 2003 or Drive Image (now a Symantec product). Neither PowerQuest nor
Symantec state any hardware manufacturers in their documentation that the
software will work with. Ironic, since on the box they state works with all
USB hard drives.
Have tried Western Digitals USB 160Gb drive and SimpleTech's 120Gb drive and
neither provides DOS drivers. These are needed when making drive images.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob S.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> M`I'5-Pe rsecution . C apital Radi o - Ch ris Tarr ant-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
-= Capital. Radio - Chris Tarrant -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the start.. One of the first
things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from. a Capital DJ who said, "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you see.. We're
not bastards).. Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so far away
the precise details have been obliterated by time. No. diary was kept of the
details, and although archives if they exist may give pointers,. the
ambiguity. of what broadcasters said would leave that open to
re-interpretation.
In spring 1994, Chris. Tarrant on his Capital morning show made an aside to
someone else in. the studio, about a person he didn't identify. He said,
"You know this bloke?. He says we're trying to kill him. We should be done
for. attempted manslaughter".
That mirrored something I had. said a day or two before. What Tarrant said
was. understood by the staff member in the studio he was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to. Tarrant. If any archives exist of the
morning show (probably unlikely) then it could be found. there; what he said
was so out of context that he would be very. hard put to find an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone at the site where I was working. repeated the
remark although. in a different way; they said there had been people in a
computer. room when automatic fire extinguishers went off and those people
were "thinking. of suing for attempted manslaughter".
Finally, this isn't confined to the established radio stations.. In 1990
after I had. listened to a pirate radio station in South London for about
half an hour, there was. an audible phone call in the background, followed
by total silence for a few moments, then shrieks of. laughter. "So what are
we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going. to talk to us now, isn't
he?", which meant that they could hear what I would say. in my room.
