- Windows XP >> Need HelpHi,
I have a P4 2.66, 512mb ram, 40gb maxtor hd with Windows
XP Professional SP1 installed. The computer is not even 2
months old and at least 4 or 5 times throughout the day
(totally random) a black box will appear on the screen
with yellow text in it that says "Off Mode in 5 Seconds"
and then the computer shuts down. I am able to start it
back up again and it could run for 90 min or more before
it happens again.
Any Ideas?

- Windows XP Support >> Obtaining an IP address at startupI have a new dell with windows xp. When I boot it always defaults to the
default IP address. I must do an IPCONFIG /release and renew in order for it
to obtain the IP (not static) from my ISP.
This happens with our without my router. I think I have checked all the

- Windows XP Network >> Wireless security problem.Hello,
I have a mshome network thru a hub with on attached via a wireless
gateway which also is a gateway to the Internet.
I have tested security from the internet and the firewall is fine and my
network can't be seen however..
I had a friend over with his wireless laptop and he was able to get to
my network via Network Places etc. I had to tell him the network name,
still it registered as insecure.
In Network properties I set the Wireless connection using the WEP with
windows giving the security number automatically and it says it is
secure, but obviously isn't.
How do I secure my wireless network with XP?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> No System Checkpoints - Why?Hi - My System Restore has stopped issuing regular System Checkpoints. They
used to be created about every 2 days. It seems to have stopped when I
updated to Adobe 7.08. I also found QuickTime didn't work either and had to
reinstall it!
Also when I download anything now, the date the file was created is always
the date it was downloaded, why is this happening? - Thanks for any info
regarding these two irksome problems. - Andrew.

- Windows XP >> Serial to USB: Drivers not acceptedI have been trying to connect my old Palm PDA to my new computer, which has
only USB ports. I have purchased a Serial-to-USB converter cable, and
obtained the drivers for that cable. I have also downloaded the USB driver
for XP from the Palm site. When I try to connect the PDA to the computer,
and the hardware installation wizard comes up, I have directed it to either
the Palm or other proprietary USB driver folder, and get a message saying
that the hardware will not be installed because the required software is not
in the folder. What can I do to get XP to recognize either of these drivers?
Or does XP have its own serial-toUSB driver that I am supposed to be using?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Burning movie project to a DVDI'm new to Windows Movie Maker, so please bear with me. I've downloaded digital video from my Sony video camera to Windows Movie Maker, saved as "High quality video (large)" so I could burn it to a DVD for playback on a DVD player. My PC's OS is Windows XP. I've edited and added a soundtrack and am ready to burn it to a DVD. I have a Sony DRU-530A external DVD burner. Movie Maker has saved my project with the *.MSWMM file extension, I saw no other options, and I do not see an option in Movie Maker to save my project to a DVD. When I attempt to use the Sonic "MyDVD" software (version 5.2.1) that came with the DVD burner it will begin to encode, but will then give the following error message: One or more files could not be imported: MyDVD does not support this file type. Check the user guide for details on support files." It appears that MyDVD does not recognize the *.MSWMM extension. Any idea of how I can convert my completed Movie Maker project to say, an .AVI file, or any other hints on how to burn this project to a DVD?

- Windows XP Support >> VERY slow CD recognition and initial playing and ejecting on a very fast computerMy year-and-a-half-old Gateway computer (with hyperthreading, 512 MB 333MHz
DDR RAM, and an Intel Pentium 4 Processor -- 3.06 GHz with 533 MHz FSB --
whatever that all means, including all the bells and whistles) takes forever
to recognize a CD when I put it in either drive. For example, when I want to
record something to a CD and I put the blank CD in either drive, the green
light on the drive comes on briefly, then it goes out and for the next few
minutes nothing seems to be happening -- no hourglass on screen, nothing. My
computer does not show that a disk has been put in the drive. Then, after a
few minutes, the windows window finally opens and shows me the list of
suggested programs to use to deal with the CD.
Likewise, when I push the button on either drive to try to eject the CD,
nothing happens for a few minutes. Eventually, however, it does eject.
This is true for blank CDs and program CDs that I buy. When I play the same
CDs on my older, MUCH slower computers, they always load quickly.
I am running Norton Internet Security (current) and Webroot Spy Sweeper. I
tried the Microsoft AntiSpy Beta program but it reported no Spyware before I
installed and ran the Webroot product and found that there were quite a few.
So, I uninstalled the Microsoft program.
I assume something is running in the background and is hogging system
resources but I cannot figure out what. Remembering what trouble old TSR
(Terminate and Stay Resident) programs used to cause to older versions of
Windows, I uninstalled programs that I do not need and even tried disabling
Norton Internet Security but that made no difference.
Please help if you can. Please reply to AutoMatters@Yahoo.com. Thank you.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Display colors are messed upLately the display colrs have been a little strange. The contrast is off and it cannot be changed by the display settings on the monitor or on the computer itself. The colors are very bright and it is very hard to read writing on the computer that may be important. The tones of the colors are also off and make it difficult to comprehend what the users of the computer are trying to read. It would be a great help if anyone could please direct me to solve this problem with the colors in general of my computer. Please help. Thanks

- Windows XP >> Can't change shortcut iconI have been happily using Firefox for quite a long time as I found, when I
first tried it, that I could ctrl/scroll the font to a size to more than the
five sizes then possible with IE6.
I had, in fact *uninstalled* (disabled really, I suspect) IE6 via
*Add/Remove Windows components.
A few weeks ago I decided to try IE7 and downloaded and installed it. It
seems to me that M$ have copied all the best features of Firefox, but for
all that I decided I still preferred Firefox, so I *un installed* IE7.
Now, if I drag the icon at the start of the url at the top of a web page to
my desktop I get an IE icon (shortcut) rather than a Firefox one.
If I go to Properties>Change Icon I gear a choice of three FF icons to
choose from. Pick any one, apply and OK and what do we get? the IE Icon. I
can find no way to change this behaviour.
I have just downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox 2, and after uninstalling
Firefox and checking that IE is still uninstalled, I restarted and Installed
the new Firefox.
All to no avail though.:-((
I really don't know what else to try.

- Windows XP Network >> Network disconnection problemWe have 7 copies of windows xp pro. We have one machine
that is the file server, 3 workstation machines and 3
renderfarm machines. All machines connect to the file
server with an assigned drive letter. When we send a
large file to render all computers lose connection with
the server. The file server doesn't crash because we can
get to it via Remote Access. The file server has a 2 gig
processor with 300 gig hd and 1 gig of ram. I have run
all possible service packs and updates. Does anyone have
an idea what the heck it could be.

- Windows XP Network >> Access Permissions in XP ProI want to share a folder and give write access to anyone,
but with password protection. I plan to put the password
in the folder's comments tag: i just need superficial
password protection to stop the viruses dumping stuff in
the share. How do i do this?
Also, is there a way i can limit the size to which the
folder can grow, aside from putting it in a seperate
partition?

- Windows XP Support >> All Services Disabled!Apparently, something malicious attacked my pc and disabled ALL services.
Microsoft assisted me with re-starting some of these so that I was able to
get back on line, print, and use Help & Support, but many are still disabled.
Does anyone publish a list of recommended default services that should be
enabled/started?
This is a single home computer running XP SR2. I am a power Office user and
utilize my pc as my sound system. I do lots of web research.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Recommended Authoring software?Hi all...
Would be interested to hear comments on what people would recommend as good
authoring software. Looking for something that will take the video from a
miniDVD camcorder and allow me to edit it and save it in a format ready for
burning to a 4.7Gb DVD.
Out of interest what format is the video converted to prior to burning to
DVD?

- Windows XP >> Windows XP Backup Utility helpI want to install Windows XP Backup Utility. The Microsoft Knowledge Base
says that it isn't installed by default with Windows XP Home Edition and I
should install it from the disk. But I bought my computer with Windows
pre-installed so I have no disk.
I contacted the computer manufacturer (a large reputable company) and they
maintain that XP Home Edition does not come with Windows Backup Utility, even
though the Microsoft site says it does. At one point the manufacturer even
suggested I download a pirate version from a Geocities site!
How can I install Windows XP Backup Utility without a disk?
Thanks :)
