- Windows XP Support >> XP default driver for camera - how to bypass?Hi all
I was stupid enough to hook up my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 camer
to my computer before I installed the software - now the compute
treats the camera as a movable storage medium (F-disk) using
default XP driver. XP will not let me install the original driver
"there is no need to install a driver, the current one works fine" o
something along those lines. Does anybody know how to bypass th
default driver and install the proper one? Thanks

- Windows XP >> boot up timeHi everyone,
Just an observation, but I dumped the XP themes in favor of the "classic"
view, and the time that it takes to boot up the system has decreased by
about half.

- Windows XP Security >> Stolen computersA friend just had 20 computers stolen from his office. Is there someone that
he can contact at MS that will be able to tell if those License numbers or
Product IDs are used again (for instance, to download updates)? I thought
this was one fo the features of the whole activation thing. Thanks very much
for any guidance you can give me on this.

With concern on this worm poza and blast whatever it is
that's going around at the moment I'm concerned as to how
i can get the right patch to protect myself from this

against a problem. there are two types of security
patches for winXP. there's the 32bit and the 64bit
patch. running winver didn't help me to answer this
question. it just told me that I'm using version 5.1 buld
2600 xpsp ( a load of numbers) Service pack 1. I'm using
the Pro version of XP. I don't know which patch to
download. is it the 32bit or 64bit?
any help would be gratefully appriciated.
thanks for your time.

- Windows XP Setup >> Read errors on XP System CD during installWhen installing XP, I get errors reading various files on
the system CD during the "copying files" process.
If I restart setup, I get the same error on different file
names.
The copying process may get as far as 80% complete before
this happens, but can happen as early as 20% complete.
I've also tried installing Win2K and the same type of
errors during the "copying files" phase.
I'm currently running WinME without problems.
I've also tried copying the install folder from the system
CD prior to running setup, but still get read errors
trying to read the system CD. I have 2 CD drives, and
have the same problem with both drives.
I can read any other CDs without problems, but the Win2K
and WinXP system CDs won't read reliably. I've tried
several different original system CDs with the same
results. Do these system CDs use a different format than
conventional CDs?
Any Suggestions?

- Windows XP Security >> Norton Anti-virus Auto-protect not functioningI have installed the Norton Utilities 2003, including Norton anti-virus in
both systems WinME & WinXP. But the auto-protect is not functioning.
1) I have scanned for anti-virus but no virus was found.
2) I have uninstalled the Norton Utilities 2003 and re-installed. Same case
happens.
Pls suggest what to do.
My computer has been infected with W32.Blaster.Worm and I run FixBlast.exe
to remove the worm - some files are deleted. However, afterwards, it is
found that it is unable to connect to the internet, send/receive e-mail even
though the system shows the broadband line is connected. Even re-install the
Windows, the problem still there. I would like to know how to solve the
problem. How to find out what files have been deleted?

- Windows XP Support >> Do I really need an LAN connection?Since an in-shop repair, I've had an LAN connection set up on my XP Home
computer, in addition to an Ethernet connection for my DSL. The tech tells
me that XP automatically sets up the LAN and that it is necessary in order
for my DSL connection to work. I'm a single user with no other network
connected.
Well, the DSL works fine. Maybe I should be content.
But...could someone please tell me if the tech was blowing smoke or maybe
was misguided.
TIA.

- Windows XP Support >> Error when scheduling backubHi all,
I'm experiencing a problem when scheduling a backup with the
ntbackup.exe utility in windows xp professional.
After having set the preferences in the schedule dialog, the program
asks me for a password, but I don't use a password so I leave it blank.
After that, an error is displayed:
0x80070005: Acces denied
What's the cause of this problem?
Thanks in advance

Windows XP >> message at startup
Hello.
When i start up i get a message box as follows:
e4:qttask.exe

DRIVE\DEVICE\Harddisk1/DR3
I press cancel and it repeats with a further message that
is identical apart from it ends DR4
this happens again with DR5 then DR6 then DR7.

Yes, this does have to do with Quicktime's updater. If you properly
uninstalled Quicktime, then this is coming from an entry in Startup. Go
to Start>Run and type "msconfig" without the quotes. Look for qttask in
the Startup tab and uncheck it.

Have any removable media drives? Try leaving the media in the drive when
starting up.

- Windows XP >> Sata drive won't work in external enclosureI have a Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 120GB SATA 150 hard drive that works fine
in the computer but when I place it in an external enclosure it can't be
read or mounted by either my Win XP PC or my Macbook Pro.
I have tried various external enclosures, with USB and with firewire
connectors but the drive will not show up in either computer when connected.
The same enclosures work fine with other SATA 150 drives but not with the
120GB drive.
Can anyone suggest what may be wrong? Do I need to set any jumpers on the
drive?
Why would a drive work fine when installed in the computer but not show up
when placed in an external enclosure?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

- Windows XP >> Causes for failure of return from hibernationI'm wondering what are the common causes for the failures of return from
hibernation in XP SP2. I have a one year old notebook that runs XP MCE
and I have it set up to hibernate when I close the lid. Despite hearing
of people having problems with hibernation in XP, I have rarely had
problems with the PC restoring itself from hibernation - till recently.
As of a month or so, it has become not uncommon for the notebook to try
to restore itself and after reading the file (progress meter goes to the
end) asks me to delete the saved file and restart Windows. I would not
complain except that this is a change for my system and I therefore
wonder why the hibernation file is now getting corrupted.
Could it be the C: partition is filling up? I have over 6 GB in my 18 GB
C:\ partition.
Could a recent Windows update have changed a OEM file that worked
before? Could there be a new conflict with some other new or updated
other program?
I regularly use Ad-Aware, Spybot, anti-viral software, Zone Alarm, and
defragmentation. Is there a way to know why the system is now having
more trouble with hibernation that it used to?
Thanks.
Jeff
