- Windows XP Setup >> Downloading updates from NetI'm new to this email list and have just bought a new
computer with XP.
When I try to update using Windows Update and going to the
Net, all works well until I come to the license
agreement. At this point, I read the agreement, as much
as any of us does! <VBG>, and it asks me if I agree, but
there is no place to answer...no place to click, nothing.
I just close the window and it tells me I can't install as
I didn't agree to the license info.
There is nothing cruically required of me to update, but I
wanted to add something for the MVP 9.
Is there something I'm missing here? (BTW, I didn't set
up the computer and have very, very little knowledge of
how it all works, so please be very percise, if you can)
Thanks so much for any help...

- Windows XP Network >> System hang with networkingHi,
I'm having a few users experiencing an error when opening a file in any
program (i.e. office) via the File > Open menu route. If the network is
connected/ *not* disabled, randomly the system will "hang". It will recover
after about a minute, but does not respond to user interaction during this
time. If the system is disconnected from the network or the connection
*disabled* this does not happen at all.
The machines are fresh installs of XP Pro and older installs alike. There's
no pattern other than the time involved during the hang (seems to be the
same). They are connected to a W2k domain and have two to four mapped
shares(drives) to the same box. They also are all connected to the same
printer via a queue.
I'm pondering a reinstall of the domain controller, but I'm not sure thats
the reason and am trying to rule out hardware. Actual net access otherwise
never fails. Just seems to be this file open issue.

- Windows XP >> Does the 300GB segate harddisk work on Dell Poweredge 400sc?Hi all,
Thanks a lot for many of your expert suggestions and excellent advice(please
refer to my previous posts and your kind replies).
Just before I start, I have a question about the 300GB segate harddisk, will
it work on Dell Poweredge 400sc, which is a PC bought a few years ago and I
think it's quite old?
I am currently installing a USB converter on it, so I can use it as an
external drive. I attach my plan of attack below:
I haven't started yet. I guess I will be able to format it when using it via
USB as external drive.
But then later I will need to use it to replace the current primary drive,
and serve as new C drive, and then reboot,
Will it have any troubles, according to my plan below?
Thanks a lot!
------------------------------------------
JCO and everybody,
Bad news! I've just looked at my partitions, C(OS) and D(Program Files) are
unfornately on the same harddrive. Even if I combine them into a new C
partition, it doesn't gain me anything, because both of these two partitions
are currently fully loaded. An estimate of the free space after combining is
about 50MB out of a total space of approximately 38GB.
Originally, I planned that if C, E, F are on the same harddisk, I can remove
the data files on E and F, so after combining the partitions, all the 38GB
will be for OS, so it will have a lot free space.
Now, since C and D are on the same harddisk, I cannot remove those program
files. So there is no gain.
Now I am planning to do the following:
1. Attach my new 300GB harddisk as a USB external drive to the PC;
2. Create three partition on 300GB harddisk, call them C1, D1, E1, for OS,
Program Files and Data, respectively(Please note that I have to keep the
Program Files on D, since otherwise I will screw up many applications). I am
thinking of making C1 to be 30GB (vs. the original 11GB), D1 to be 70GB(vs.
the original 27GB), and allocating the remaining space to E1 (for data);
3. Duplicate the content on C precisely and exactly onto C1;
4. Duplicate the content on D precisely and exactly onto D1;
5. Without rebooting, change the letter of C to be C2, and change the letter
of C1 to C, hence finish the swap;
6. Without rebooting, change the letter of D to be D2, and change the letter
of D1 to D, hence finish the swap;
7. Shutdown the PC. Remove that harddisk(of C and D) physically, and use the
300GB harddisk as a replacement of that very harddisk;
8. Reboot back. (Since I made exact copy of C and D partitions onto the
300GB harddisk, I should be able to successfully reboot the system).
9. The remaining are just housekeep task. I am done with joys, not with
tears!
Are the above procedures well-thought and fail-proof?
I am not sure about steps 3 and 4: C and C1 have different sizes, which
software will allow me to do an exact duplicate for partitions with
different sizes? Without having used PM, Ghost,Acronis, etc. before, I am a
little bit hesitant.
Could the experts here confirm my plan and so I will be able to jump-start?
Thanks a lot and have a great weekend!

- Windows XP >> XP reference book recommendationsI am looking for a reference book for windows XP. I am reasonably

buffaloed. I would like a book that will explain what each setting does and
how security works. Essentially, however I am using XP Pro at home, and what
I want to do is set things up so everyone can use the computer but they have
to go through me (administrator) to install software. Open to all
suggestions. I am in Canada if that makes a difference.

- Windows XP Hardware >> COMM port not shutting downWin XP Home SP 1 Dell inspiron I5100 2.66G 512 M BCM V.92 56K Modem
Thank you for taking a moment to help me ... I think this question should be
an easy one .. :)
While online, dial-up, the modem or connection goes offline. Then in an
attempt to re-connect, I get the error that the port is in use .. this never
goes away, regardless of how many times I try or periods of 'wait' I provide.
Windows Troubleshooter wanted me to check the settings for PORTS under
Device Manager, but I do not have such a setting there.
How do I reset that port without having to restart the machine, or can I?
If I cannot, what are the likley causes of this so I can try to fix and or
prevent it?
Thank you.

Windows XP >> Endless loopafter mobo change
I had XP on a machine for months with no prob... I
upgraded the mobo and processor from 450 mhz to 1.2 ghz,
but cannot get XP to boot now. It is in an "endless loop"
where it flashes an error for a splitsecond saying that a
problem has occurred and windows will be shut down...
If I put old mobo back, all is ok. Have also gotten third
replacement mobo with exact same problem.
How do I get XP back up with upgraded mobo?

Windows XP >> Endless loopafter mobo change
See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Tips, How to do a Repair Installation. Moving
an existing XP installation from one motherboard to another rarely works.
Some say its 50/50, I don't give it that good odds.

After putting in such new hardware you should do a repair reinstall.
Set the BIOS to boot CD before Hard disk, then boot the XP CD, start
Setup (do not take 'Repair' at this stage), then after the license
agreement take 'Repair Installation'. This will retain your existing
software installations and most settings. But Updates will have to be
run again, especially SP1; and if you have drivers that only arrived
with that, like USB 2 ones, you will need to update drivers for the
devices concerned. You may find that things like virtual memory
settings and some aspects of appearance have reverted to defaults
This should retain your activation status, though if you have never
registered you may have the setup suggest it now (don't bother). But
just in case, a good idea is first to back up the activation files,
windows\system32\wpa.dbl and wpa.bak - if it complains on activation,
restore them (they fit on a floppy) after and reboot. You may
nevertheless find you have made so many changes that you need to
activate again by phoning in, but it is worth the try.

- Windows XP Support >> Error Code 105I'm not sure what happened, but I had to reinstall MOHAA on my new custom
system, and couldn't get it to install ( had imported it from my old
computer--that was not good!). I did a delete from the control panel, but
that didn't work, either. I went to the EA (game manufacturer) website to
see if there was something I did wrong. I had to do a manual delete from the
registry. Now when I try it, I get nothing. The Install Wizard starts up,
but then nothing happens. Once I got a "catastrophic failure" message. I
tried loading other games from different developers and got "Setup is unable
to run a program needed to proceed with the installation. Restart your
system and try again. Error 105" I have no idea as what to do. I tried
restoring to a previous state, but that didn't work. I thought it might be
the DVD/CD drive, but it reads other cds with Emails, pictures, etc. I don't
think it is gaming related, rather something I may have done during the
removal of the MOHAA series that messed up the registry or removed a program
from XP associated with the Install Wizard.
