- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Capturing AVITrying to improve the quality of my dvd's, I do save to the computer in
AVI format. But I cannot capture in AVI as it is grayed out. The best I
can do is use the High Quality video (large). To use the AVI capture
must I be capturing from a digital device and not a vhs input?

- Windows XP >> XP performance very slow / freezes and display signal comes and goBoot up process is slower than normal and when XP is up and running,
performance is incredibly slow and the signal to the LCD display that I have
comes and goes while the desktop periodically freezes.
I have tried restoring to 1 and 2 weeks ago when performance was previously
fine, however this fails to rectify the problem.
I have done virus scans and run spybot - both are clean.
Computer runs ok in safe mode so I have been able to back up files.
Any pointers anyone - should I just go for a full reformat - it has been 2
years since I have done so.
I have 1GB ram, AMD 3500 CPU and gigabyte motherboard.
I have tried connecting another monitor (CRT) that I have and the problem
remains - so evidently it is not the LCD.
Any ideas anyone - I have been unable to find anything on the net or in the
XP knowledge base to date.

- Windows XP >> XP files copying fails during installDuring a routine clean install to a former Windows 98
machine, the following has occurred... Once the hard
disk reformatting process completed, the computer began
to copy files normally from the disk in the CD-Rom
drive. But after a short time, it began to have trouble
copying a few of the files. Several of the balky files
did successfully copy after pressing 'retry' (enter)
repeatedly. However, one of them finally just wouldn't
go. I am getting the message:
"Setup cannot copy the file: ndisuio.sys. To retry,
press Enter (which is unsuccessful). My only other
choices are to skip or to quit. So I'm stuck. What's
wrong and what do I need to do?

- Windows XP Network >> NT4 connecting to XP Pro shared printerI have 2 sites connected via a WAN, static I/P's 192.168.1.* & 192.168.2.*.
The DOMAIN isn't in place yet, so each site has it's own WORKGROUP. No WIN's
is invoked. The server on site 1 is currently NT4, with all workstations on
both sites running XP Pro SP2. On the server, it is possible to connect to
all the shared printers via Start/Run & putting in \\<PC I/P>\<Printer Share
Name>, though 1 PC on site 2 fails with an error message of :
"Could not connect to the printer: The printer name is invalid".
All local network functions are fine on this machine (including local
printing to LPT1), except network printing to it's own printer. It is
possible to print to other network printer from this PC. I have ensured all
the network settings are correct, removed/reinstalled/shared the local
printer, & tried it with the Windows firewall on & off (same for both).
There is no anti-virus software on this PC.
I hope the info given sets out the scenario - any ideas ?
Many thanks in advance, Gavin.

- Windows XP Update >> PC fails to get past windows xp screenI recently installed the latest windows updates. My
computer now won't get past the Windows XP splash screen.
I get a black screen with a white cursor and that's it. It
also does it in safe mode. I installed my windows xp on my
second hard drive in my computer so that I could view the
files on my original hard drive. I can't even acess the
first hard drive through safe mode so I can't do a system
recovery. The files that I have found that have the
corresponding dates are numbered KB883357 and KB833987.
Does anyone know anything about these numbers and which
update they belong to? Also does anyone know how to
uninstall the recent updates since I can't get at my
original Windows? Any help would be appreciated. I'd hate
to have to start all over again.

- Windows XP Support >> Shutdown Doesn't CompleteWindows XP SP2
Current in Updates
I had some instability after installing WD Network software for a NAS drive so I used the restore
function to roll back to before the install. Now the system is stable but shutdown will not
complete.
I get the message box that says windows is shutting down. Then the message box disappears. The
system goes through disconnecting the USB connected devices and then hangs.
When I recycle the machine I get the messages about a drive needing to be checked and the system
goes through each of the logical partitions on my raid 1 mirror (two 500 GB SATA drives). It finds
no errors and continues startup.
Please note that before I did the restore shutdown worked fine and I did not get the disk needs
checking on reboot.
How do I isolate the problem that stops shutdown from completing cleanly?

- Windows XP Network >> How to Network 2 computers thru Router w/broadband cable modem (road runner)Help!
I have two windows xp pro computers that I want to
network to share a single broadband cable modem
connection. Both computers have network cards installed
and connected to the router. The cable modem is plugged
into the WAN port.
Road Runner customized my internet explorer so it could
connect to the cable modem but doesnt see the router when
I type in the IP address.
Will the network wizard help me to connect to the WAN
through the router? If so how?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Unhandled Exception c0000005When I boot up my computer I get <Unhandled Exception
c0000005 at Address 100016b8> I click OK and then it
tells me:
PromulGate Universal has encounteed a problem and needs
to close.
Then it asks if I want to send the error report to
Microsoft. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't but it
doesn't make much difference since the error keeps coming
up and Microsoft doesn't respond (I don't really expect
them to).
After that my computer runs just fine but I don't like
having an unhandled error.

- Windows XP Support >> Shutdown always says installing 1 updateThe topic says most of the story, Have a new laptop that exibits the
following behavior:
1) The updates available icon in the taskbar is NOT being displayed
constantly.
2) At shutdown, it always displays the install updates and shut down option,
indicates that it is installing 1 update, and we repeat the process every
time i turn the machine off.
Norton Internet security is what it has on it for A/V and such ... not that
Norton would EVER cause an issue like this one ... LOL!
Thanks in advance for any ideas. I'm not afraid of working in the registry,
but I don't have clue one where to start looking, and blindly poking around
in the registry is not a good strategy

- Windows XP Security >> Tough question - get your thinking caps onI need to remotely edit the HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft key, in order to
add the Security subkey and the CheckAdminSettings dword value required for
use with Outlook Security Templates.
Unfortunately, this is a "restricted" key, and only the Administrators have
full access. I've tried using SMS Installer to create the entry
progammatically, and have also tried using "regini.exe" from the Resource Kit
to change the ACL on the key prior to performing the edit. The result is
that, apparently due to the need to run with administrator permissions, the
current user key is bypassed and the entry is made in the Default User
context.
Does anyone have a reliable method for getting around this behavior? The
machines targeted are not necessarily single-user machines, so it's not as
simple as just making the users administrators on a temporary basis. I would
also like to avoid having to use multiple reboots to change the ACL on the
key, make the edit, and then restore the ACL on the key.
Thanks for your assistance!

this time got hung up. When I rebooted many of the functions, such as Help &

- Windows XP Network >> Network Bridge woesHi all,
I'm having problems getting the network bridge option in windows xp to work
correctly.
PC 1: Wireless (static ip 192.168.0.21 255.255.255.0) connects to wireless
router (static 192.168.0.11 - which in turn connects to ADSL router
192.168.0.10). This configuration works fine and I have no problem
connecting to the Internet. This PC also has a wired connection with a
static ip address of 192.167.0.10 mask 255.255.255.0
PC 2: Wired connection only with a static ip of 192.167.0.11 mask
255.255.255.0. The wired network works correctly. I want this pc to be able
to access the Internet using the others' wireless connection, i.e. using PC
1 as a bridge.
I initially had the problem that the wireless connection stopped working
when joined to the bridge but I solved this by manually forcing
compatibility mode. What happens now however is when the bridge is created
it has an ip address of 0.0.0.0 (I have no DHCP) and consequently there is
no connectivity from the bridge. I have manually assigned an IP address to
the bridge and all three connections show as 'connected' in the network
connections. BUT, no matter what IP adress I give the bridge, I receive a
windows system error that there is a duplicate ip address on the network as
soon as I try to use the internet! There are no other machines on the
network so there definitely isnt a conflict and I'm at a loss as to what is
happening here. I have so far tried about a dozen different ip addresses but
always with the same result.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Steve

- Windows XP Support >> USB Exterior HDD questions?Hi,
Just bought a Coolmax 310 USB Exterior HDD Enclosure. (Probably won't
be shipped unitl next week)
Thinking of installing one of two spare HDD's into the Enclosure.
a: Would the HDD require Windows if I use it exclusively for program
storage and file backups?
b: Without Windows , will I be able to exec a program or simply
transfer it from exterior to interior drive? And if so, won't that mess
up the registry? I'm so confuuuuuused!
c: If the HDD has ONLY Windows XP loaded, I'd like it to be an
emergency replacement HDD, (in case the interior drive goes south), in
the meanwhile using the remainder of the space for storage and
backups. That I believe (hope?) would be OK?
ThanX and truest wishes for a great Thanksgiving Holiday!
