- Windows XP Support >> .exe and .lnk files do not workHi all,
used my show desktop icon earlier to minimise all my windows and my
windows media player went full screen and could not do anything to
minimise it.
Not even pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, ALT+ENTER, ESC, ALT+F
Anyway, switched off PC......
...switched back on, now none of my shortcuts work and I cannot run
any .exe files.
"Windows not can find a program associated with .lnk file extension"
Trying to run a .exe file does work, so cannot run Help and Support,
System Restore, regedit, msconfig, adaware or anything!
any ideas welcome
Thanks
Terry.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> msconfigI'm using XP Pro, and cable modem for internet connection. Something uses my
connection and uploads bytes and this speeds down my connection. All the
updates have been done and entire HDD checked for the viruses. Under the

ccapp, ccregvfy, ctfmon, msmsgs, nerocheck, nvcpl (second), nvmctray, nwiz,
soundman, timeupdate] and restarted the PC. It works like this, but when when
i choose the normal startup the problem begins again. Anybody knows how i can
get out of this ? Thanks.

Any other ideas?

- Windows XP >> two problemsI have two problems I would like some advice on:
1. Every time I try to use my Search function, I get a pop up of Windows
Installer wanting the CD for Windows Office 2K Pro. I can't figure out why,
and I have to hit Cancel several times to make it stop. What is the problem?
and how do I fix it? It just started doing this about 10 days ago, the same
time as problem 2 popped up.
2. Recently, someone else used my computer for web surfing and managed to
get it infected with Spylocked 4.0. I got some help on another forum, and
the fix worked. However, in the instructions for the fix it says to restart
the computer in Safe Mode by pressing F8 during restart, before the Windows
logo appears. I could not get it to work that way, no matter what I did. My
computer just went right on with its normal start up routine, as if I wasn't
hitting F8 at all, or doing anything else for that matter. Did I miss
something, do something wrong, or has this infernal machine lost its little
electronic mind? Or maybe I've lost mine....
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help or advice. Truthfully, it would help
to know I am not the only one with either problem, I wouldn't feel like such
a bonehead.

- Windows XP Network >> sharing an internet connection on a home networkMy computer is networked to a router where other computers share an internet
connection. I would like to have my computer share it's connection with my
bluetooth pda. However, in the Internet Connection Sharing process, my
computer must be assigned the same IP address that the router must be
assigned. Is there anyway my computer can be setup as an access point for my
pda without the IP address mess. Thank you very much for your help in
advance.

Windows XP Hardware >> Phone and modem control panel can not be opened
I bought a laptop that came with Win XP Pro already
installed (I think it is installed off of an image?), and
when I go into control panel and double click on "Phone
and Modem Option" icon, I get an error message saying
"Phone And Modem control panel can not be opened.You may
have a problem starting telephony service."
I saw an article on Microsoft Knowledgebase about possibly
replacing two dlls located in System32 directory.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;167102
So I replaced two files
cfgmgr32.dll
Setupapi.dll
But that did not solve the problem.
Is microsoft aware of this problem?
I do not know what trigger this to get screwed up, but I
found there are several people having same problems (found
from Google group search)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

- Windows XP Security >> Access Denied when running MsConfig w/ admin rightsI'm trying to run PC in diagnostic mode on Standalone PC with XPPro-sp2, and
I am getting "An Access denied error occurred while attempting to change a
service. You may need to log on to an Administrator account to make the
specified changes." Now, I've made no changes recently to any programs or
hardware, and I have administrative permissions so I don't understand what is
going on. Safe Mode (all three safe options) fail, or hang at (Agp440.sys
line). Theres no evidence of a viral agents at work or scumware. I had a
similar "legit" problem with msconfig due to a boot volume info folder virus
about a month ago, and I wound up having to reinstall XP SP2 from scratch. Is
there a way to verify, or fix this problem short of having to attempt an "In
place repair" ??
My thinking is that settings in the registry have somehow become corrupted.

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP OEM License questionHello all,
I usually don't post to these groups, because I can usually find
the answer I am looking for by doing a group search. I do have a
question, that I was unable to find the answer for in previous posts.
I have 3 computers, 2 Desktops (both built by myself) and a Dell
Laptop. I bought the retail version of Win XP home edition. I also have
the OEM version of XP home edition. My "MAIN" computer I do a lot of
upgrading on, motherboard, CPU etc. and I have the RETAIL version in
that computer. My "Community" computer, I call it that, because anyone
who needs to use a computer is allowed on the community computer, NOT
my MAIN computer, thats for my use only. Anyway, the "community"
computer has the OEM version of XP on it. My Dell laptop of course came
with it's own OEM version of XP. My question is this: If I upgrade the
"Community" computers motherboard, that makes the copy of XP that is on
it invalid (OEM copy) do I have to purchase the OEM version again, or
can I buy an OEM LICENSE, without the actual XP CD. I have seen these
listed for sale at www.pricewatch.com and I just am kind of lost as to
what someone would do with just the license key, unless you are able to
use it with your original OEM CD, after doing a major upgrade to the
computer that the OEM software is installed on. Can anyone enlighten me
on this subject?? Thanks in advance. If anyone wants to e-mail me, your
welcome to it is (remove the obvious) maddog5461@"NOSPAM"yahoo.com

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Movie Maker 2/RoxioI have saved a file in MM2 in large video form (as advised in your website by

you do that? How do you pull it up? I'm having problems with that.
Thanks.

- Windows XP Support >> Program startup triggers different program installationI believe I have a registry problem .... and can use some help.
When I startup certain progams from the menu/destop icon/or by
starting the program itself in the /Program Files/subdirectory/
whatever.exe file I get an installation startup of a totally different
program. If I hit the cancel button on the instillation a few times
the installation stops and the program I want started finally starts
up.
what wierd link occured to do this and how can I fix it???????
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the offended program.
problem persists after reinstall.
I have tried removing from the add/remove pane in control panel the
program that tries to reinstall itself and what happens is it switches
to another program to reinstall. That is to say another program tries
to install itself instead of the one removed.
things work fine once I "blow through" the intstall dialogs and cancel
them all out and the program I want finally starts ...
Any hints as to where I might tweak or look to fix the registry as I'm
assuming that is the problem ...
Thanks in advance ...

- Windows XP Setup >> Deployment problemsRobert,
I'm not sure about #1. On #2, are you sure that you're configuring =
Sysprep to use the Mini-Setup Wizard first-run experience? Do one of the =
following:
* If you're running Sysprep from the command line, add the -mini option.
* If you're not running Sysprep from the command line, make sure you =
select Mini-Setup Wizard from the first-run experience (I can't remember =
the exact name).

Conversation: Deployment problems
Subject: Deployment problems
Hi all, I=B4m preparing a deployment of Windows XP and I=B4m confronting =
two problems I=B4d like to share hoping someone tells me what to do:
1. After an unattended installation of XP Pro started from the local =
hard drive I put a command in the GuiRunOnce section to launch =
Office2000 instalation using a transform. This used to work fine on =
Win2k but now when the insallation of Office starts, Windows File =
Protection asks for some files from the SP1 CD wich cannot be found.=20
It tries to find them on the CD drive instead of the
c:\i386 folder where the slipstreamed instalation is located and =
obviously fails. I think this might be related to a kind of tag that may =
be put on the install folder to tell the OS that the service pack files =
are there, but I don=B4t remember how to do this.
2. When I try to automate an installation created using sysprep, the =
mini-setup ignores the sysprep.inf and always asks me to accept the =
EULA, introduce the key, etc. I have tried putting sysprep.inf of a =
floppy like I used to do on Win2k and also put it on C:\sysprep, it =
doesn=B4t work either way. I created the sysprep.inf using the setup =
manager included in the XP install CD. Any suggestions will be greatly =
appretiated.
Thanx,

- Windows XP Setup >> problems installing windows.I tried to reinstall windows xp to repair some damaged

I rebooted various times and it continues to do this. I
tried to get rid of the installation process but every
time I try to get back to windows, the installation
process keeps on trying to install windows again.
How do I stop this LOOP!!!! Help!!!!!

I have win xp with sp1 on a IBM ThinkPad.
I updated the os with all the updates from the windows update centre.
The strange thing is that windows update doesn't report that I miss the sp2.
Do you know if there is a reason for this?
Do you think I really don't need the sp2?
Thank u in advance
