- Windows XP Support >> Add/remove programs and rundll32.exeHi
When I try to uninstall programs via add/remove programs my system hangs
indefinately.
If I open add/remove programs the list populates ok, I can choose remove,
then it hangs. In task manager a rundll32.exe process is taking 100% cpu
usage. I also get the same scenario if I try to use the program uninstaller
tool in CCleaner.
I've carried out a full scan with Spybot, AVG Anti-spyware, and NOD32 AV
(all fully updated to the latest definitions) and also run sfc /scannow.
There are no events or error messages, system just doesn't respond until the
offending rundll32.exe process is halted.
Hope this makes sense, Thx in advance

- Windows XP Hardware >> audio problemsHad to re-install WinXP (not upgrade) and have lost my audio somewhere along the line
I went to play Winamp and this is the msg i get
"Erro
A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system
This happens on any wav. midi. etc. files
I've gone into my device manager and really not sure which audio driver I'm after
I have "Creative AudioPCI(ES1371,ES1373)(WDM)" which seems to look like is working properly....what it tells me in the properties anyways.(don't think this is what i want anyways...but ,like i said...not sure
And i also have" Legacy Audio drivers".....in which case I have 2 of the
One of them has information on the drivers in the drivers tab....the other doesn't have anything in the drivers tab whatsoever
Both, in the general tab, gives me no options in the "device usage:"
I'm thinking one of these i don't need, but not sure . Neither gives me the option to disable or delete
I have no volume control in my taskbar. When i boot up... i do get the windows start up tune
I've tried to find out what i can do, but the only thing i could actually find was something about re-installing windows and that the registry didn't change( or something like that) and that plug n play wouldn't go looking for my audio devices again. (make sense? this came from a windows 98 user
I've gone to a drivers website and really have no clue as to what I should be downloading etc
would be greatly appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction

- Windows XP Update >> Many KBxxxxx.log failure files after trying to patch SP2Hi. Here is my scenario. I had to reformat my hard drive. I reinstalled XP
Home, and because of the fact that I am on dial up, my friend provided me
with the SP 2 on disk. I ran the install program, and everything worked fine.
I then logged onto windows update to download all of the patches. (count 54).
I received no errors about downloads and installs. They said they all
installed correctly, as far as I remember, and I restarted my computer.
However, I have 54 of those KB****.log files in my windows directory, and
they all have errors in it such as stating that the update.ver file is not
correct, and that files such as sp4.cab does not exist.
In addition, when I go into my add/remove programs, the only program that is
listed is the windows 1.3 installer, and the windows service pack 2. Should
the additional subsequent patches be listed as well? I know that when I go to
the windowsupdate site, it says that I don't need to install anything new.
Do any of you think that the problem was that it was a fresh install, that
didn't even have SP1 on it yet, or was it because I installed from a disk? Do
I actually have these updates and the log files aren't anything to worry
about?
I have posted below an example of one of the 54 KB******.log files. I also
have the windowsupdate.log file, but it is HUGE, so I'm not sure what to post
regarding that. Please let me know if anyone needs to see anything from it.
I've looked it over, and haven't found anything, to my knowledge, that seems
ominous. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sorry this log is so long, I'm not sure what, if anything, should have been
left out.
I will be posting the log in a nested reply to this post.

- Windows XP Setup >> help deleting a programHi -
We downloaded a program and want to delete it (using
Windows XP Home edition). The compuetr says it cannot

make sure the disk is not full (it is not) or write
protected and that the file is not is use (it is not).
Any ideas what I can do?

- Windows XP Setup >> Install of XP Home Doesn't Recognize MouseHello, My sister gave me her computer that had come with XP Home, but she had
put XP Pro on. She wanted to keep the XP Pro license for her new computer,
so I installed the XP Home over the XP Pro, reformatting the hard drive in
the process.
It got to the screen asking me if I was connected to the Internet to
register the software when I noticed the USB mouse was not responding. I
tried several different USB ports to no success, and I was unable to click
the no radio button, so I hit the reset button. I hope that wasn't a
mistake. It rebooted and came to the XP desktop, but there are no icons on
the desktop besides a recycle bin and the mouse still does not work. The
system tray has the message asking me if I want to take a tour of XP.
How do I get the USB mouse to work? It is a functioning mouse - I plugged
it into this computer and it works fine.
HELP!

If you're quite sure the computer is clean:
Start>Run cmd [enter]
iexplore.exe /rereg [enter]
If that doesn't help, then some information from you as to your network
hardware and how you connect to the Internet, as well as what "major
virus" means will get you more focused advice.
Help us help you:

- Windows XP Security >> Change Century Interpretation - XP home - Access 2000By default, all 2-digit year entries less than 30 (or about that) are
converted to 20th century (eg "30" --> "1930", ""25" --> "2025")
Would like to make cutoff around 1970-2069.
After much research, still unable to find method for changing this
characteristic.
Docs suggest using "group policy" which I have been unable to locate on my
system, which is, BTW, personal & standalone and I am only user and
administrator.
This may be an Office issue rather than an XP issue. If so, I apologize.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> can't delete registry entriesI'm trying to clean up after a virus infection on an XP Pro SP2 machine. I
have a list of all the registry entries added by the virus, and want to
manually delete them. I can find them easily enough, but when I try to
delete them I get an 'unable to delete all occurrences' message (or words
very similar!).
I'm not very experienced in editing the registry - I usually use a util to
keep it tuned - and I know how dangerous it can be. But although I've
removed the virus exe from the machine, and prevented firewall_anti from
loading or running, I still have all these registry entries that I'd like to
get rid of. What's the right way to do it please? I'm right-clicking the
reg entry concerned and choosing delete. Edit/Delete gives me the same
message. As I say, I have what seems like an accurate list of the reg
entries made by the virus (from Sophos).
Any pointers greatly appreciated, thanks

- Windows XP Update >> W2k3 Standard SP1 Install Problems!I hope someone would be able to help me out here. I searched all over the net
for a solution and I just can't find a solution. Here is the problem: Windows
2003 Standard Server. I am trying to install SP1 on it. I downloaded fresh
copy twice. Each install fails. It goes though all the steps (backing up,
installing) then it's trying to start up services and install window just
goes away and then SP1 uninstalls itself. Once it uninstalled itself, it
tells me that
-------------------------------------------------------
Service Pack 1 installation did not complete.
Windows Server 2003 has been partially updated and may not work properly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once rebooted, everything is working. Below is the log from SP install.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HELP! :( I spend about 14 hours total trying to fix this. I really need to
get my server updated but it's just frustrating. Microsoft doesn't provide
fix for this on their site and every fix that I found (which was not many)
doesn't help me out.
Also, I am logged in as administrator, and the server is stand alone server.
PS: I need to break up the log file because it';s too long.

- Windows XP Network >> Upgrade from XP home edition to XP ProfessionalI have just recently bought an acer 3000l that has XP home edition, with
bluetooth, IR Port etc. However, I need to be on our work network. because of
the home edition, I am unable to see the server and share files with my work
colleagues. As a result, a friend told me that i could upgrade to XP
professional in order to be able to use my office network properly. could you
therefore advice me on how I can obtain patches for this upgrade that will
enable me to get the full functionality of networking?

- Windows XP Network >> XP ICS problem opening most pages in internet explorerI have a small network of 3 computers all running XP(2 pro, one home). We
connect using ADSL which does not use PPoE. We just recently got issued a
public IP from our ISP, so I changed our network configuration to use one of
our windows XP Pro computers (all are Dell Demensions) to work as an internet
connection sharing host. The basic setup is DSL modem --> Host Computer -->
Switch --> Other computers. On the host computer, the internet connection
works perfectly -- and it also works fine on the computer running XP Home.
However, on the other XP pro computer everything should be working fine. I'm
networked on the lan, have all access to shared files and printers, obviously
recieve an IP -- can ping to any server on the internet through the command
prompt -- Outlook works fine for email access. However Internet Explorer
will not open any but a small handful of pages. Google opens, as does the
MSN home page. However no other sites that I have tried open -- they simply
stall out on the web site found, waiting for reply message on the status bar
until after a few minutes brings up 'the page can not be displayed.' I've
tried manually setting the lan card speed/duplex mode, looked for new
drivers, and in desperation reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled
windows from scratch (we've had the computer for less than 3 weeks, so it
wasn't as drastic as it could be), yet the problem remains. I tried dell
tech support, but because of the 'advanced technical' nature of the problem
it does not fall under the warranty coverage and they wanted to charge me
$150 dollars for one-time telephone support. Please if anyone has any other
possible ideas, let me know as i've pretty well exhausted my knowledge -- I
have a great deal of computer background, but networking is one of my weakest
areas. Sorry for the eye-strain, I just wanted to be comprehensive. THANKS!!
