- Windows XP >> Error On BootupGetting "Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility". Also getting
"Previous fan error" message and did note the fan stops and starts. tried
another duplicate fan on this Dell 8250 and it worked, but still got the
"Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility". Changed the system battery,
same issue even after resetting the date and time. Going to try slaving the
HDD on another computer, but is it possible the loss of the fan damaged the
processor?

- Windows XP >> Mad ErrorsI recently put myself together a new computer. and while
trying to load windows XP Pro I get a large barrage of
errors. Most commonly the setup program hangs during the

I have tried disabling the SATA altogether and using this
old beat up MAxtor 2 gig drive.. SAme errors.. Took out
the Dvd burner and put in a 16x Liteon DVD-ROM. still the

- Windows XP >> Outlook Express 6 and Acronis True Image ProblemI am thinking of switching from Norton Ghost to Acronis True Image for a new
machine I am putting together.
I have downloaded the True Image Trial Version and used it this morning to
back up my C: (System Drive) and my D: (Data Drive including the Outlook
Express Store Folder.) During the back up process, I did some work with
OE.
After both backup processes completed, I went to OE and found all my
Newsgroup subscriptions had disappeared. Panic time. I restored C: from
the True Image file and the subscriptions appeared just as they were before
the backup.
I wonder if any one else here uses True Image and has experienced this sort
of thing. Could it be that working in OE while the backup process was
running caused this problem?
I have Googled this to see if there might be some restrictions on using the
system (XP Home) while the back up process runs but have find none.
Thank you for any insight on this.

- Windows XP Setup >> Cannot install ANY additional Windows ComponentsI have been trying to install Fax Services and IIS.
I am running Windows XP Professional with all Windows Updates applied
When I use the Windows Components Wizard, it does not matter which checkbox I select, the behavior is the same: it runs through the entire installation, gives me no errors, but then, the components I selected were not installed. So, for example, if I run the Wizard again, the selected checkboxes are now once again unchecked
The same thing happens in Safe mode, in Diagnostic mode....... doesn't matter

- Windows XP Hardware >> Mouse Freezes :(This is frustrating...
I recently formatted my harddrives and re-installed
Windows XP. Everything was working fine until my mouse
started freezing at random. It first happened during an
online game of Age Of Mythology. But it also happens
while playing the Campaign in AOM and also when I'm not
even playing the game at all. When it freezes the light
on the mouse is still on but the cursor won't move when i
move the mouse.
I made it so that Windows does not turn off the USB ports
to save energy but the problem still persits.
It is a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1A and I'm
pretty sure I have the latest driver for it (I have
5.1.2600.0)
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Network connections with USB-why not?Trying to hook up two PC's to transfer some files. The only options available
in the network connection wizard are Wan Miniport, LPT1 and COM1. I can't USB
to USB with a crossover cable? Is there a work around for this? Also there is
no choice of ethernet/ethernet. Seems strange. I checked out the knowledge
base...it just directs me to standard network connections.
Thanks

Windows XP Hardware >> XP Mirror drive
Windows XP does not have a software solution for disk mirroring.
In order to configure a mirror, you'll need to setup a
RAID configuration. This requires two identical hard
drives, a motherboard with RAID or a RAID controller
card. Then you must install Windows XP from scratch and
install the RAID drivers during setup.
Also, Windows XP will not install on a drive that was converted to
a dynamic drive.

Any suggestions appreciated.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Cannot Install New HardwareI am extremely frustrated with XP. Since installing SP2 I cannot install new
hardware that is supposed to be XP complient and hence has no drivers with
it. I can install devices that have drivers that come with them such as
Pinnacle AV/DV (except for the firewire port). Something as simple as CD
drive or hard disk will not install properly. (I was able to force a new disk
install by manually pointing to the directory Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
to find the drivers. The wizard could not find the drivers on its own and
would always fail. (Code 28.) This does not work for USB or firewire devices.
I installed a new device with another firewire port and it won't load.
Pre-existing (before SP2) firewire ports are OK. Likewise with USB. A new
USB2 device won't load. I go to install drivers from the motherboard CD and
it won't let me as it says XP SP1 drivers should be used. The only drivers on
the CD are for Win2k and Win98. The same trick I used with the hard disk
won't work with the USB drive.
If anyone else has had this problem and solved it I would really appreciate
if you would tell me what you did. I suppose something in the registry is
pointing in the wrong location or there are some files missing, but I can't
figure out what.

- Windows XP Hardware >> "Cannot Install This Hardware" "Access is Denied"Hi,
I am unable to enable or update drivers for my display adapter (ATI
Radeon X300).
I have tried several alternatives that were posted on the Internet and
have found the problem (I hope so). However I am unable to overcome
this.
I have enabled logging whenever the operations (enabling of the
display adapter OR updating its driver) into a file C:\WINDOWS
\setupapi.log.
I further tried to set a registry value that would enable registry
updates to be logged too. (changing the value of LogLevel to FFFF).
However, this did not have any effect (the log did not contain any
additional information).
All the setupapi.log had was Error 5: Access is Denied
I suspected that there was a problem updating the registry and found
that a set of values under a group named ati2mtag was blocked. Even
though I am an administrator I could not delete or modify the contents
of this group. It denied me access.
I would really appreciate a solution, to make those set of keys
accessible once again.
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP >> My Documents folderHello all,
When I open my computer, in the Files stored on this computer, my folder is
empty except for the desktop. ini. When I open My Documents everything is
there, when I access thru docs and setngs everything is there. The only thing
I have done is disk cleanup, chkdsk and defrag, that was a few days ago and
to tell you the truth I'm not really sure how long this folder has been this
way. I don't usually access my docs from there. I run weekly anti virus and
spyware scans, results are clean. I don't even know if this really matters,
but all the other user account doc folders contain their documents. I've even
logged in on each user account and results are the same. Anyone have any
ideas?

Any ideas??

- Windows XP Support >> How to get Admin password?Im fixing a Compaq pressario laptop for a friend. its got xp home, and
after installing sp2, it gets the blue screen, error stop c0000135 cant
find winsrv
the best I can do is use another winXP cd and get to the recovery console to
try and apply the fix from Microsoft
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=885523#kb4
on deleting registry entries for the sp2, so it can boot.
Apparently while searching for a note about what the password might be, I
find it was sold at comp usa, and they bought a service plan, unconditional.
But guess what? they dont want to offer support, saying I needed to call
Microsoft to ask them what the Administrator password is.
It was setup by comp usa, who apparently setup the admin password. But they
say we would not know what it is and all the data will be destroyed on the
disk because the only way now is to wipe the disk and install everything
again. But I dont have any windowsXP disks, compusa kept them.
Well who cares, you have to buy xp, office, etc, not our problem. Besides,
its too complicated to work thru the registry, thats only for qualified
people, we cant help you, thats like way advanced or something.
Is there any solution?

- customize >> Can user and admin have the same IE?Hi,
I'd like to have my user account and Administrator account
basically use the same IE or same IE "browsing
experience", in other words, have the same toolbar menus,
same Favorites, etc.
Similarly, when I install theGoogle Toolbar as Admin, it
is not installed for my user account. Can this be
accomplished?
(It'd be nice if they could have the same Desktop, too,
but one thing at a time - I'd like XP to appear no
different between these accounts.)
