- Windows XP >> Problem Installing updates to XPI keep try to install the update for MicroSoft.net Fram
critical update and it downloads, but won't install.
Today I downloaded an update for NVIDA display software
and it wouldn't install. They go through the download,
but not the install portion. Any ideas?

- Windows XP Hardware >> XP recognition of FAT32 slave drive dataXP recognizes the slave(2nd)HD, and can populate it (HD
properties), but will no longer recognize the data. It is
f'matted w/ FAT32. I can access data with a w98 startup
disk. Installing it in other w98 machines, I can
manipulate the data on the drive. Even a fresh install of
XP didn't rectify the situation.
Master drive is NTFS, slave is FAT32.
Why won't XP recognize the FAT32 data?
Thanks for any ideas...

- Windows XP Support >> HELP: Video Player keeps on "restoring" window size from "maximise"My Windows XP SP2 has been annoying me a lot recently. Basically everytime
when I watch a movie with "maximised" Windows Media Player 10, or RealPlayer
10, or Media Player Classic 6.4 then at random times the player would
"restore" the window size, as if some other program spawned or received a
notification. But guess what, there is no other apparent window or program
to be seen. I make sure my MSN, Virus Scanner, etc are all switched off. But
every so often (regularly), my maximised video player would "restore"
itself. Is it Windows Update in background? I don't know, but what would be
handy would be a "forced" maximise mode. And what gives a program privilege
to "restore" some other window program?
Has anyone experienced this too?

- Windows XP Security >> Access denied filesAfter having my pc upgraded to XP Home, I tried to create
shortcuts to progs and files on my desktop in the same way
as in windows 98 - ie: click on file, select shortcut;
shortcut appears in file/prog list with (2) after it; drag
it from list to desktop - job done.
However, I find now I have a desktop with 10 or so
unworkable shortcuts, can't delete - "Access denied",
can't rename, can't clean desktop.
I understand this is a security safeguard, but these are
MY files and I am the Administrator. How can I delete
these faulty shortcuts. I realise now, that the method
required to place shortcuts is different in XP.
Advice welcome

- Windows XP Hardware >> Scandisk/Chkdisk with multiple harddrives on win XPIn my computer I have a RAID with 2 Western Digital 10k
RPM drives on the onboard ICH5 Controller and then two
Seagate 160GB SATA drives on the onboard Promise SATA
controller. The problem is that every time I start up my
computer (Windows XP Home) The chkdisk utility tries to
run on both of the Seagate drives. I have let it run many
times and it has never found any problems. I would like
to know if there is anything I can do to stop this.

- Windows XP Support >> IE 7 problemsClear DayOn 10/22 I was prompted by MS Updates to DL new version of IE 7. It
was to replace the Beta, already installed. It did not go smoothly. My PC is
now running on fumes as I cannot access the Internet via IE 7 which is
somehow being blocked from functioning properly. I am using a circa 2002
Dell Dimension 4400, 40GB hard drive with 512RAM. Had been running a little
slow but was otherwise serviceable. Now every time I try using IE I get the
generic error message & report it to MS. On start up or when trying to get
to my AOL I get a small window with a yellow triangle containing (!) and the
word "topic". Also get stuff like (HTTP ERROR 500-INTERNAL SERVER ERROR) and
(Windows cannot find....) followed by what looks like some kind of registry
address. Looks like the only thing still working net wise is Outlook Express
(can't do Internet file attachments).
I am an intermediate at best on this stuff but for the first time I'm at a
loss as I have been unable to resolve any of this on my own.
Is there anything I can do or is it time for Rent-a-Geek?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Floppy help...My floppy is an "unknown device" in my Device manager.
Since it it an "unknown device" the floppy icon is
missing from "my computers". I know that the unkown
device is my floppy cuz it says that its location is in
the floppy dist controller. Can anyone help me with this
problem? How do i get Windows Xp to recognize my floppy
again?
- 14
- Windows XP Network >> xp pro remote desktop address through router?I've setup remote desktop, but want to be able to access my computer through
my linksys firewall(at home) from work.
I have the ip address for my router, and internal ip address, and dns
address, and mac address. - can I put some form of those into the ip address
to address my home computer? I don't have a static ip address, or a name
service, but think I should be able to put the addresses together to have it
work.
Thanks for your help.

- Windows XP Network >> Registry settings at logonWe manage networks in 5 schools, with about 1800 users
and 380 PCs and laptops.
I am trying to adjust the users' registry settings during
login. The users are on XP Pro workstations logging on
to an NT4 domain. The users are in a group which is a
member of the workstation Power users' group.
The users' login script runs a Kix script to make the
registry changes to the existing keys, but the script
returns an Access denied error for some of the changes.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions
are the main problem. NT4server doesn't have enough
facilities to restrict these in group policy editor.
Does anyone have any ideas for fixing this?
Am I in the right newsgroup?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Windows XP Support >> hard drive labeling
The only way that happens is when you have other hds installed during the
windows xp installation.Thier is no possible way to change the OS letter
after
installation & work properly.Disconect all add on hds,other misc,reinstall
xp by
booting to xp cd.

You can change the drive letter of any drive *except* the one Windows is
installed on. The only way to get the hard drive to C: is to reinstall
Windows cleanly, making sure all the "many extra drives" are disconnected
until after Windows is installed.
But there's really no particular reason that Windows has to be on C:. If I
were in your shoes (and I'm actually in very similar shoes; Windows is
installed on F: here), I would just leave it as it is, and not worry about
it.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> XP Super Slow after installing Anti Virus ProgramRecently, I installed Kaspersky Anti Virus Program on my computer. Nothing in
there documentation said anything about uninstalling my old Anti virus which
was McAfee. I looked thinking that would impede the new install of another
Anti Virus program. Now my computer is useless. It takes at least a 1/2 hour
to load everything up and I cannot get on the internet or do anything on my
computer. I spent three hours the other night trying to reload a previous
version before I installed the program and could not even get to that. Is
there someway that I can enter using safe mode or F2,3,4,or whatever to get
in and uninstall, load a previous version or something so that I can get my
laptop back to normal? Help Mr/Ms. Wizards!

- Windows XP Support >> Cannot Turn Off Automatic UpdatesSomehow XPs automatic updates was turned on & I believe I am downloading
SP2 for the last few days. I do not leave my computer on when not in
use since I am not at home. Since I am on dial-up it will take forever &
I cannot download any virus updates. I searched & found a Microsoft
article (306525) which explains how to turn off "automatic updates"
by runnings ysdm.cpl. I did that but it still says automatic updates is
"ON". How can I stop the download & turn off the automatic
updates. Also I double click on the icon & right click on the icon
in the System Tray but nothing happens. It just says Downloading
Updates 43% Thanks in advance...marvo

- Windows XP >> Explorer.exeI just recently bought a new hardrive and installed XP Pro. Because i was
having a problem where the process "explorer.exe" was using up a lot of my

must be a patch or something i can do to XP to make this problem disappear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently found this file inetsrv.exe is attempting to access Internet and

I understand that some malware could fake themselves as a legit file, but my
