- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Upgrading HDDHi there,
I wish to replace my 40GB Seagate HDD with a 120 GB HDD.
The operating system that Iam currently using is XP Pro.
1) Is there a way I can transfer everything (copy) from
my existing HDD to the new one, without having to re-
install Windows XP?
2) Will I need to reactivate Windows XP in that case?
3) In the vent I reinstall Windows XP in a new HDD will I
have any problems in reactivation? What information
should i provide the MIcrosoft Assistance team.
Would appreciate prompt assistance in this matter
Thanks

- Windows XP >> cannot shut downHi,
I have trouble shutting down my PC. It just goes to saving
settings, then the screen went blank but the mouse can
still be moved. Keyboard is off, but speaker & hdd still
have lights on.
I tried to Ctrl + Alt + Del but it didn't help too.
I have uninstalled Adaptec's Direct CD, updated Windows &
drivers..
How can I solve my problem?

- Windows XP >> disappearing user profiles - HomeXPI have three user profiles set up. I am now having trouble with one of the
profiles - it is gone! The folders and files (favourites, desktop, cookies,
documents) still reside under "Documents and Settings", but when the
particular profile is chosen and logged into, all I get is the initial
screen as if a new profile has been set up. Any suggestions?

- Windows XP Support >> Icons Gone!Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum.
I did a quick search for my problem but couldn't find anything in
previous threads.
Basically, the icons for "My Computer", "My Documents" and "My Network
Places" have been replaced by the generic Windows "Unknown File" icon,
and I don't know why. I've run a virus scanner (F-Secure) with the
lastest definitions installed and it came up blank. I've not noticed
any other problems.
If anyone knows how I can get my icons back, it'd be much appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Goback 3.0I have read in many reviews for Goback 3.0 that it permits installation onto
several hard drives on one computer. I have tried many times to reinstall
Goback in the hope it will allow me to protect the extra hard drive I have
installed although at no time during the custom install does it prompt me
for protection of the second drive. Could anyone confirm that Goback 3.0 is
able to protect multiple drives in Win XP, or suggest any ways that I might
be able to fix this problem?
Many thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> mainboard queryHi,
My PC has died on me, and I only bought it a few months ago. I was getting
long single beeps and tried to test the RAM , but I think I've compounded
the problem now. I bent a capacitor with too much force and also the battery
doesn't fit back into place securely anymore. Now the fan and drives fire up
but no video. (FIC P4M-800T motherboard)
My question, if I want a good quality motherboard to replace my old and
possibly rebuild this thing from its partsh . What should I be looking for?
I have a P4 chip with HT and I plan to use my ATI graphics card . I will
probably need to replace my memory too with
Or is there a possibility that my motherboard can still be fixed and how?

- Windows XP Support >> Fonts missing in Windows XP desktop propertiesHi,
I'm running Windows XP Pro and I'm having a problem with fonts.
I have dozens of fonts installed, and they show up in c:\windows\fonts
folder, and in applications like MS Office, Notepad, Wordpad, charmap, etc.
However, if I right-click on the desktop, select Properties, then Appearance
tab, then click on the Advance button, only 5 fonts show up in the font list
for various GUI elements like menus and windows title bars.
How do I make the other fonts available for GUI elements ?
Thanks.

make changes to it and overwrite the original information without saving it
under another name??? Just save the changes. If so how ???????
Thanks in advance for your help

Two things.
A CDRW disk must be formatted for packet writing to do as you want. The
built-in CD recording software in Windows XP will not do that and secondly,
it is not good practice to open Documents directly from CD anyway - copy it
to your HDD, do the editing and then save over the original on the CDRW
disk.

- Windows XP Support >> Windows Firewall/ICS Service will not startEver since I unistalled Norton Personal Firewall for some reason my Windows
Firewall would not start. Then i read the error message it gave me: We're
sorry. The Security Center could not turn on Windows Firewall. To try turning
on the firwall yourself, go to Windows Firewall in Control Panel. In the
Windows Firewall dialog General tab, select On (recommended) and click OK.
But the problem is when i try to do this it gives me a new message that says:
Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service
is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Conection
Sharing (ICS) service? When i click yes it says: Windows cannot start the
Windows Firewall/Internet Conection Sharing (ICS) service. So then i even
went into Adminstrative Tools and then looked at the Services. Whenever i
found the Windows Firewall/Internet Conection Sharing (ICS) service I tried
to start it and it said in yet another message: Could not start the Windows
Firewall/Internet Conection Sharing (ICS) service on Local Computer. Error
10047: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.
Any ideas on how to fix it? It's annoying having to see the dang Message
Bubble everytime I start my computer and the icon staying.

- Windows XP >> toshiba laptop keyboardHello, I posted yesterday and someone replied and I'd like to thank them for the help first of all. They said I could probably get better advice if I had my computer specs, so I have them now. I have a Toshiba Satellite A25-S207 with a pentium 4 processor. This is my problem: When my computer is connected to the internet my enter key will work fine for an average of 10-15 minutes, but will then stop responding when the key is pressed (this does not only affect my internet browser and related online features, but other programs on my computer such as microsoft word as well). This problem does not seem to happen if the computer is not connected to the internet. I've tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling my keyboard driver, setting my computer's settings back to a day before the problem first began, and lastly I wiped the hard drive and started over from the recovery disk...the problem still exists though and I am clueless. Any insight into this problem would, again, be much appreciated...I hope the specs will be of some help this time. Thank You.

I have a Win2K Server SP4 and cannot get it to install IE6 SP1. I have
tried installing via the windows update but the fails with the message â??Setup
was unable to download the required components. Please make sure you are
connected to the internet, or try to run Setup again later.â??
I then downloaded a full admin install of IE6 SP1, thinking it may be better
to install it this way, but when it get a little way in it tells me that
â??Setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all
applications and try running Setup again.
I have full admin rights on the Server.
I am putting the server into Install Mode (terminal).
Anti Virus is Disabled (Sophos).
No programs are running.
I have successfully done this on my other 5 Servers
Please help :-)

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows Update for FriendsMay I download and save to a CD Critical Windows Updates
for friends that do not have a broadband connection to

suggestions on how to do this. The update webpage I get
while online does not offer an option to save to a file,
it only downloads then installs. Any help will be
appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Maximum number of open windows?I heard somewhere that Win XP has a max of 17 or 19 open windows. Is this
true? Can it be changed through settings?
I keep running out of browser windows. Sometimes, if I have two or three
apps running (like Notes, Outlook and Dreamweaver), I can only open 4 or 5
brower windows in IE. After that, there is no right click menu any more, or
nothing happens when you click "open in a new window".
The PC is a 3.5 GHz P4 with 1GB of ram, so that should not be a limitation.
I am running Windows XP Professional SP2 in a corporate network with machine
admin rights.
Can anyone throw any light on this limitation?

- Windows XP Network >> forwarding a range of ports [ICS]I have two computers networked to share an dsl connection using a crossover
cable. I want to be able to forward UDP ports 1024-65535 to the client
computer, but XP's builtin port forwarding apparently only allows you to
forward individual ports rather than a range of ports. Is there a third party
program, or maybe a registry hack that will do this? Or do I need to find a
hardware solution?
