- Windows XP Setup >> Reloading XPI have a laptop which is licensed for XP Pro according to
the sticker on it with the product key. I was told that
any copy of XP Pro can be installed on the machine, as
long as that product key is used, however, XP is telling
mt that it is not a valid key. I have checked and re
checked it a dozen times. No success... Any help?

- Windows XP Security >> Service Pack 2 Install Skipping FilesI am trying to build an automation process to deploy XPSP2 to our network.
The problem is that all of our custom images have a very stripped down image
with things like outlook express and movie maker completely uninstalled.
Trying to do a standard install of xpsp2 errors out looking for file
"wabmig.exe" which I assume is part of the outlook express windows address
book. I need to get the regular install working before I can build the script
to due silent install and not interfere with users. I also get similar errors
about files like "mm2res2.dl" which is part of movie maker. I have seen
sections of update.inf file located in the same directory as update.exe of
the i386 folder and there are parts of it where I guess I could remove like
"CopyFiles=OE.Files"....
XPSP2 will not start at all now, because it cannot verify the integrity of
undate.inf
Can anyone help?

- Windows XP Support >> An issue with booting up the computerI just finished building a computer, and I installed Windows XP Home on it
(SP2). Everything runs and works just fine, except I cannot start the
computer without the Windows XP CD in the tray. It says, "Boot from CD:" and
then, "boot disk failure, please insert a system disk and hit enter." This
cannot have anything to do with the mainboard's BIOS, I think, because I
tried disabling everything but booting from the harddrive, yet I still get
that error message. Windows XP is paid for and activated, of course. I can
boot up just fine if I have the XP CD in the tray, but that can be a serious
irritation and I know that it is NOT supposed to work that way. Does anyone
know how to get rid of this problem? I have tried everything I can think
of... I know beyond a doubt that it is no kind of hardware problem, and I am
99% sure that it has nothing to do with the BIOS.. it is a windows-only
problem, of that I am very certain.

- Windows XP Setup >> Writing to CDsI now don't seem to be able to use the CD writer that comes with XP. Don't
know if I'm doing it wrong, I've used it before but now it keeps coming up
with 'This is not a re-writable CD etc' It is, its a multisession CD. I
then used Nero on it and it allowed me to copy to it. Driving me nuts!!

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Movie Maker not found WinXP SP2 Home EditionI came to this site to download Microsoft Movie Maker to only learn that I
need to have either Win XP Pro or Home Edition SP2 installed. So, Im
thinking why didnt I receive this software when I updated to SP2 a month or
two ago. I just tried a minutes ago to see if there were any more updates
that I missed, but my PC is up to date and this copy(as all of mine are) is
completely legit!
Anyone encounter this or know what I can do in getting the Movie Maker
software?
Cheers, Chaser!

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Update KB896423 hangupsWhat's with this update? I've tried installing it on several Asus boards
(M2N-MX SE, M2N-MX, M2V-MX and some MSI boards. When you install this update
the computer will hang on the welcome screen and not go any further. You can
boot into safe mode, but the system will not load Windows unless the update
is removed.
Anyone any ideas? These are quite common boards based around Nvidia and Via
chipsets.

- Windows XP Setup >> Malke and Sharon F. More Help with Timeout issue Needed!Ok I came home at lunch and did what you both told me to do. I went to the
control panel, system, device manager and then to network adapter, properties
and then power management and unchecked the box. Then I went back to work.
When I came home about 5 hours later I still had the same problem where my
internet wouldn't come up. I had to log off and log on again. What is going
on? Did I need to reboot my system for this change to have taken effect?
It's really driving me nuts!!! Please help again if you wouldn't mind.
Thanks! Karen

- Windows XP Hardware >> CD Drive ErrorIf I insert a CD into the drive and it has AutoPlay it
opens and plays. But if I need to open the CD that is in
the drive manually to see what files it contains, I get
the error message that the drive in not accessible. When I
looked in the Properties on the Shortcut I see that the
Target location is F:\ and the Target is F:\, but when I
click on OK I get the message that F:\ is not a valid
string. When I click on Find Target I get a message that
the closest thing is a string that leads to a game I once
played. My E drive(DVD)and A drive work normally (the F
drive used to), and I'd like to fix this, but I don't even
know where to start. Can anyone help??? I hope my
explanation of this problem isn't too confusing.

- Windows XP Support >> Missing Entire Media FileA couple days ago, I uninstalled Kazaa, but returned my media files to
the same location C:/Program Files/Kazaa/My Shared Folder because
thatâ??s where my media files pull from. I put in Kazaa in name only
to preserve the file path. However, I turned on my computer (after
running Microsoft Anti-spyware and quarantining the "real" Kazaa), I
found kazaa(2) in place of my "dummy" Kazaa and my entire file was
gone.
Please help me, I need the files in there for my final project!

- Windows XP Network >> cached credentials and shared resources accessHi There !
My english is not good so maybe the answer to my question exists on
NGs but i cannot find it... :-(
I have a notebook with Win XP Pro registered on domain XYZ. When user
goes away he can logon and work in domain with cached credentials.
Then he connect to our company via VPN (windows integrated PPTP
client) and he can (i.e.) ping any host on LAN.
But he cannot access to his folder or public folders on PDC. XP ask
for a logon and, entering user and pwd of the cached logon, it answers
(it's a translation from my language, not the original message,
brackets 4 my notes): "The username entered is the same used for
connection (ceched logon on the domain). Username already used. Unable
to find a PDC for username verification."
It's a very fast reply, without querying network, so I think it's
WinXP that doesn't try to find the PDC because he know the user made a
network disconnected logon with cached credentials. It cannot immagine
that now the PDC for username is available via VPN.
Other notes:
- I can see shared resources providing a different domain username
than the one has made the cached logon
- If I do a cached logon and then i connect the LAN cable I can see
shared resources
- Network, Dialup network and VPN protocol and bindings properties are
ok
Who can help me ?

- Windows XP Security >> SecurityFour XP Pro workstations (named compA, compB, compC, compD) networked
together as a workgroup. On compA, I would like to share a folder with
compB as read only. Also on compA, I would like to share the same folder
with compC as read and write. I don't want compD to access this folder.
Can't seem to do this. Up to now, I have been using "Everyone" to read and
write. Now I want to get a little more sophisticated. Any help?

- Windows XP Update >> Vista Update Installs Over and OverI posted this a few days ago but didn't receive any replies, so thought I'd
try again.
Vista keeps reinstalling the same update over and over. My update list
shows that it has been installed six times, but it still pops up again. This
is so annoying that I've turned automatic updates off. I'll be this is a
registry issue but don't know exactly what. Any ideas? Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> Mapping drives in XP on Win2003I have just installed a WIndows 2003 network (2003 server
with XP desktops). Then I mapped 4 drivers to all
workstations (they map fine), when you restart the
desktops the first 3 map fine and the last drive has
the "Red X" over it (and the message that not all netowrk
drives were mapped" on the task bar). BUT if you click on
the drive (or a program trys to access it) it really is
connected? Anyone every seen this, if so, how do I
correct?
Thanks,
Greg
