- Windows XP Hardware >> CD-RW won't work w/blank/burned diskI have a Plextor PX-W4824A CD-RW, and have updated to the most recent
firmware. It works fine with any 'manufactured' disk, audio or data, but
will not work with a 'burned' cd. The 'burned' cds DO, however, work fine in
the DVD-ROM. When I put a blank or previously burned disk in the CD-RW, I
get a green lite for about 15 seconds, then the lite turns amber and proceeds
to flash 4x with a pause, 4x pause, etc. until I eject the disk. Windows
Explorer shows the drive, and Device Manager says it's working properly. I
uninstalled the Nero software I was using, but that did not make any
difference. I believe the problem started after I installed Windows SP2, but
I'm not positive, since I mainly use the burner to backup data files every
few weeks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

- Windows XP >> plain taskbar...I've been messing around with skinning windows lately, mostly with
WindowsBlinds and some other progs.. For a while now I have had the normal
windows look. Yeah, the old 98/me look... now when I turn back to Windows-XP
Style, everything gets skinned except the taskbar! It's still grey and
boring! What do I do ?

- Windows XP Network >> Trying to set up roaming user profileI have set up my local login to use a roaming user profile.
The path is set to a directory on the server to which I have full access.
In fact I use the same directory to store my email and documents.
When I login I get an error message and the following information in the
event log:

Description: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile

this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this
problem persists, contact your network administrator.

- Windows XP Support >> Device Manager blank - Action CancelledWhen I open the Device Manager it says in the window:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page
might be temporarily unavailable.
This is driving me crazy. I'm on the edge of reformatting and reinstalling
Windows...
I am running Windows XP Pro with SP2.
What I've done so far to troubleshoot and what I've found:
- Rolled back the registry two weeks which didn't solve the problem. Next, I
undid my registry changes so it was like I hadn't ever rolled it back.
- Had a clean virus scan with all Norton updates.
- Had a clean Spyware scane with all Spybot Search and Destoy updates.
- PnP service is running in the Services pane (I even tried starting every
service which did nothing as I assumed).
- PnP service is setup correctly from MSCONFIG ("Hide all Microsoft
Services" checkbox is not checked and "Plug and Play" is under the "Services"
tab).
- Security permissions are set correctly for the registry key
"HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\ENUM" (I cannot see the system name in the DM
so its not a security permissions issue; "SYSTEM" account has "full
permissions").
- Ran "SFC /purgecache" followed by "SFC /scannow" to no avail.
- Ran a disk check on my OS partition to fix file system errors; no problems
found.
- Same problem in Safe Mode.
Is there something I can do in the Recovery Console to repair my Device
Manager? If so how would I go about it?
I'm open to any suggestions at this point.

setting. I do not want full screen, just want it to open windows that fill
the screen below the toolbar. Can someone help?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Setup >> Sharing a Printer on a Home NetworkFound a reference site with articles and pictures
http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article64-page1.php
Tip #2 talks about turning off Window's built-in firewall,
since it does not customize well, just blocks everything
Wife's computer came bundled with Norton Internet Security,
which does have an option to allow file/printer sharing
My computer uses the free Sygate Personal Firewall, which
also allows customizing to allow file/printer sharing
(Sygate was bought by Symantec, no more free software!)
(But, for now, the product is still on a download site)
http://www.simtel.com/product.download.mirrors.php?id=53687
Following the steps in the article, and configuring both
firewall products to allow file/printer sharing, now lets
me print to Canon 4200 printer on wife's computer, which
was a "test" so I will know how to configure her laptop
(when it arrives) to do wireless printing

What happens if you right click on the ATI radeon in device manager and
choose update driver. Then click install from a list or location. The check,
Don't search, I will choose the driver to install. That should bring up a
list to choose from.

Just a long shot but in device manager, under properties it didn't somehow
become disabled did it? If it shows, Do not use in any hardware
configuration, enable it.

Standard VGA driver is included with XP - it is what you get with safe mode.

know if I'm doing it wrong, I've used it before but now it keeps coming up
with 'This is not a re-writable CD etc' It is, its a multisession CD. I
then used Nero on it and it allowed me to copy to it. Driving me nuts!!

and then power management and unchecked the box. Then I went back to work.
When I came home about 5 hours later I still had the same problem where my
internet wouldn't come up. I had to log off and log on again. What is going
on? Did I need to reboot my system for this change to have taken effect?
It's really driving me nuts!!! Please help again if you wouldn't mind.

- Windows XP Support >> An issue with booting up the computerI just finished building a computer, and I installed Windows XP Home on it
(SP2). Everything runs and works just fine, except I cannot start the
computer without the Windows XP CD in the tray. It says, "Boot from CD:" and
then, "boot disk failure, please insert a system disk and hit enter." This
cannot have anything to do with the mainboard's BIOS, I think, because I
tried disabling everything but booting from the harddrive, yet I still get
that error message. Windows XP is paid for and activated, of course. I can
boot up just fine if I have the XP CD in the tray, but that can be a serious
irritation and I know that it is NOT supposed to work that way. Does anyone
know how to get rid of this problem? I have tried everything I can think
of... I know beyond a doubt that it is no kind of hardware problem, and I am
99% sure that it has nothing to do with the BIOS.. it is a windows-only
problem, of that I am very certain.

- Windows XP Security >> Service Pack 2 Install Skipping FilesI am trying to build an automation process to deploy XPSP2 to our network.
The problem is that all of our custom images have a very stripped down image
with things like outlook express and movie maker completely uninstalled.
Trying to do a standard install of xpsp2 errors out looking for file
"wabmig.exe" which I assume is part of the outlook express windows address
book. I need to get the regular install working before I can build the script
to due silent install and not interfere with users. I also get similar errors
about files like "mm2res2.dl" which is part of movie maker. I have seen
sections of update.inf file located in the same directory as update.exe of
the i386 folder and there are parts of it where I guess I could remove like
"CopyFiles=OE.Files"....
XPSP2 will not start at all now, because it cannot verify the integrity of
undate.inf
Can anyone help?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Movie Maker not found WinXP SP2 Home EditionI came to this site to download Microsoft Movie Maker to only learn that I

two ago. I just tried a minutes ago to see if there were any more updates
that I missed, but my PC is up to date and this copy(as all of mine are) is
completely legit!
Anyone encounter this or know what I can do in getting the Movie Maker
software?

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Update KB896423 hangupsWhat's with this update? I've tried installing it on several Asus boards
(M2N-MX SE, M2N-MX, M2V-MX and some MSI boards. When you install this update
the computer will hang on the welcome screen and not go any further. You can
boot into safe mode, but the system will not load Windows unless the update
is removed.
Anyone any ideas? These are quite common boards based around Nvidia and Via
chipsets.
