- Windows XP Support >> Printer only shows up under admin loginI have a public XP PC and the installed network printer shows up under
Admin login, but is not available for the User (public) login. It used
to be, but a user pointed out that it's gone. The add print wizard
can't find it either. I don't understand, I thought if the admin added
it, it should show up under the user login. This is the way I set it up
in the past and on several other machines. Is there a hidden check box
somewhere that hides or uninstalls the printer from one login?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Transferring collections to a different Windows UserHow do I transfer or copy my collections to another Windows User on the
same computer?
I just started using Windows Movie Maker. After working with it for awhile,
I decided to set up a separate Windows User, to use Movie Maker in.
Now I would like to move all the collections I've been working on to this
new user, but I can't figure out how. I tried copying the MEDIATAB1.DAT
file to the corresponding directory for the new user, but then when I start
Movie Maker as that user, it doesn't use that file. In fact, it deletes
that file and replaces it with a new one, with no collections.
- Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

- Windows XP Hardware >> JMicron Technology Corp - GIGABYTE GBB36X ControllerI downloaded a hardware update from the windows update website with the
result that my dvd-rw is no longer accessable (i.e. not visible in "my
computer"). I know for a fact that this occurs only when drivers are
installed on my machine that deal with raid configurations etc (my
motherboard doesn't support this (GA965-DS3)). I learnt this through trial
and error when installing the motherboard drivers that came on the driver cd
and had the same missing dvd-rw drive scenario occur. This is what happens
when companies cut corners and ship 1 driver cd for different model
motherboards i guess.
The solution to getting my dvd-rw back when I installed the motherboard cd
driver was simply to un-install it and everything worked fine. However I
can't seem to uninstall this infernal windows update hardware version of
Gigabyte's raid driver as upon reloading Windows it now detects my hardrive
as a new pieve of hardware and promptly re-installs the driver downloaded
through windows update. The other annoying thing is that now I have a icon in
the on my taskbar that represents a plug and play piece of hardware (my hard
drive) and when I go to eject it it of course says it can't...no duh!
So I ask 2 things:
1. How to I un-install this driver that exhibits alot of characteristics
akin to spyware.
2. Microsoft needs to be more careful which 3rd party companies it allows
into their update service.

- Windows XP Security >> Changing User AccountPosted this also in general
We have several computers in our office that were set up with Administrator
user accounts. I want to change the accounts to either a restricted user or
Power user. When I first tried changing to a restricted user I had a few
problems they were:
1. AutoCad would not open. Stated I needed to reinstall.
2. Could not open up a word document. Did not have rights to.. Just on one
machine, others were fine.
3. Half of the favorite links in Explorer did not work.
Changed user to a power user and it fixed problem 1. Have had to change user
back to administrator.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dwayne

- customize >> Windows explorer folder propertiesWhen I right click on a folder in windows explorer and
select the properties option, the size, numer of files
and subfolders displays 0. It used to display the size
and the contents of the folder. Can someone help me
figure out how to fix this option so that I can get
accurate values?
These are not system folders. It's occurring on all of
my folders. For example, in My Documents I have a folder
that I use to put various recipes into, that includes sub
folders for dishes, such as deserts, appetizers and the
like. I track the properties so that when the folder is
large enough I can burn it onto a cd.
Any ideas of why the properties will not display any
values?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Blue Screens....im desperateOS- Windows XP Pro Edition
Motherbaord - Soltek SL-75FRN2
Ram - DDR 400 512mb, one chip
Display card - Nv Geforce Fx5200
Im am having on my new custom made computer 3 weeks old.
It frequently crashes to blue screens sometimes in
reference to portcls.sys, nv4_mini.sys and some time
restarts. This is and i stress usually when i am playing
high spec games and or many applications are open. I have
been and had the mainboard and ram replaced to see if
that fixed it. I have also run a diagnostics test that
all passes except for one section called Stride6. All
windows files are fine and drivers are all up to date.
In device manager on thing is exclamation marked, the wdm
video capture (universal) could there be a problem with
the video card? Hardware temperatures are all normal.
would compatibility be an issue? I have no idea what to
do. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Disk Management to create a second partition of the C-drive (the drive is
more than half empty), tt indicates that the entire drive is taken up by the

Windows XP >> Device manager
I have two entries under Imaging devices in Device
Manager, both which read Color Flatbed scanner.
I have removed my scanner and I have disabled these
devices, but when I try to delete then I get a message
that says. " Failed to uninstall device.The device may be
required to boot up the computer.
Can anyone explain why this can be too me, or let me know
how to uninstall them.
Kind Regards
Laurence.

Windows XP >> Device manager
Hi Laurence,
Try booting into safe mode and removing both of them. If that doesn't help,
try:
Go to Start/Run/CMD. At the command prompt, type the following commands and
press enter after each line:
set DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS=1
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
Click the View menu and select Show hidden devices. Right click the device
you want to delete and click Properties. Click the Details tab.
Select Device Instance ID. The value of Device Instance ID is the hardware
key of the device.
For example, if you see the value is Root\Image\0000, the full hardware key
is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\Image\0000
Then go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to the key. The data of the
Driver value is the software key of the device. Delete both the hardware
key and software key.
