- Windows XP >> FAT32 or NTFS on an external USB disk drive???I have just bought an external 250Gb IOMEGA USB disk drive for backup
and data storage purposes. It turns out that it is preformatted with
FAT32.
My question is if I should reformat it to NTFS or if I should start
using it like it is?
Are there any performance or storage capacity issues between FAT32 and
NTFS on external USB disks?

- Windows XP Setup >> installing video cardWhen I installed my card into my Dell 8300 I didn't have to, oh yeah, I did
have to uninstall my video card. It came with a nvidia I think 5500? Anyways,
I just bought an eVGA, 4000 MX 128M PCI NV94-LX EVGA for 52 bucks before
taxes. It was going for 59.99 at PC Club in Hawthorne, but when I showed him
a read-out from new egg.com that said 43 bucks + 3 bucks shipping and
handling. Well he dropped it 8 bucks. Can't complain. Anyways I want to
install it into my Compaq Presario 5000 A Series computer, but I'm not sure
if I have to uninstall the integrated graphics on my motherboard. I asked at
the techs at PC Club and they said " some motherboards you should and some
you shouldn't ". I love their answer. Well, should I go into BIOS and
uninstall the present graphics on my motherboard for the Compaq?

- Windows XP Network >> Windows Firewall Weirdness on Multi-Home MachineMy laptop is running XPSP2 with all updates. It has an Intel 2915abg WNIC
(named WIRELESS) and a Intel Pro/100VE (named WIRED).
For exceptions, I have "File and Printer Sharing", "Network Diagnostics for
Windows XP", "Remote Assistance", "Remote Desktop", and "Windows Live
Messenger".
From another computer, I can ping WIRED, but not WIRELESS. Under the
Advanced tab, if I disable firewall on WIRELESS, it still doesn't work.
However, if I leave it enabled on WIRELESS and disable the firewall on WIRED,
suddenly, I can see WIRELESS from the other computer. I went into "ICMP
settings" and made sure that "Allow incoming echo request" was selected.
If I completely disable WIRED, then WIRELESS works perfectly.
Why would enabling or disabling the firewall on the other NIC matter?
Another data point is that SMB (File and Printer Sharing) works regardless
of whether the firewall is enabled on either card as long as the exception
for it is enabled.
I don't really care of I can ping this machine or not, but Remote Desktop
also doesn't work when I try to connect using the WIRELESS IP when the
firewall is active on WIRED.

- Windows XP >> Where has Windows/XP hidden my SP2 & updates?Hi guys n gals. Just wanting to know where they are, as they are not avail to
be 'uninstalled' from the control panel/uninstall etc...
I am trying, (with much frustration), to rectify a 'faulty/corrupted
recycle bin' since a reformat a few months ago.
Nothing works. Thought I might just be able to uninstall SP2 n go from
there, but not able to find them. Try diff tack, so to speak.... (MS hid
them, cause they used to be itemized in the uninstall window)????
Main trouble is that my recycle bin (as stated), is corrupted & i cannot
see anything that I delete. I have tried the cmd prompt, "cd recycled" to
try to find the *info/info2 file to delete, but 'IT' cannot even find the
'recycler/d' folder/file. ????? Cannot even delete the recycle bin folder.
(Says 'being used by other')?? Once again I will say, nothing works.
Guess I'll just have to do another reformat n re-install all my stuff again.
Thanks in adv for any suggestions.
Signed; Almost at wits end..... :D L.

- Windows XP >> Recommendation for best File Recovery ProgramI erased a file on my hard drive and now I need to try and recover it,
so I am looking for Recommendations for best File Recovery Program.
I know I can send my hard drive to a company, who will recover it for
me, but that's too expensive. I have Norton's Protected Recycle Bin, but
the file is no longer there.
I am running XP, without SP2.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Windows XP Security >> Windows XP Security Update Not Showing Up
When I click on the area to install the latest security update for Microsoft
XP to patch the latest flaw, my computer tells me that all updates are
installed. However, the last dated installed update is a fix from June in my
history of updates section.
Is the new security patch not currently available for download, even though
the site says it is? Anyone else having this problem? I have SP2 installed,
which the patch is supposed to be for.
Thanks for any help.

Windows XP Security >> Windows XP Security Update Not Showing Up
Hi, just a quick note to say I figured out the problem and all is well.
Actually it turned out to be a PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer) ...
feel like an idiot, but I finally figured out what was going on. Thanks
everyone and sorry to have bothered you all.

- Windows XP Setup >> SP Pro OEM Install ProblemsI have built a machine that I am attempting to install a new OEM XP pro (sp2)
on that stalls at the "Starting Windows" blue screen. I can load from the CD
using another computer and I can install 2000 on the PC in question. When I
load from another machine that uses the same chipset then install the CD in
to the desired machine I get to the Windows XP black screen, it fades and I
get no farther. When I load 2000 on to the desired machine everything works
okay. I have tried to use a XP pro preinstall CD but I get wierd IDE errors
that make no sense at all. I would like to get XP pro on this but it is
proving to be quite a challange,...any ideas?

- Windows XP Network >> XP Pro Workstations hanging when accessing files on Win2K ServerI have recently upgraded 10 workstations from Win 2K Pro
to XP Pro. The users are having a major problem when
they try to access their documents of shared folders on a
Win 2K Pro Server. An example would be when they try to
open a word 2k doc it hangs and takes a very long time to
open then is slow to react when they enter new data. Any
ideas to what would cause this slowdown? Thanks so much
for any advice.

- Windows XP Security >> Program received with Windows XP had suspected virus from windows.My system included a program which stated that it was
from Microsoft, but, I was told that it was a virus which
will wipe out your computer. The program was in my new
computer when I received it. The name of the program
is " jdbgmgr.exe " and it's emblem is a teddy bear. My
computer had it entered in windows, in two places. Once
in "C:windows\last good\system32\" and
in "C:windows\system32". Norton and the other Virus
detecters do not detect that it is in the computer. Can
you check this out and tell me if I was miss informed?

- Windows XP Support >> user account login screenWhen Windows XP Home Edition first boots and shows the users login
screen is there any possible way to have the On-Screen Keyboard be
available at that time? Is there anywhere within the registry to
accomplish this? I'm a disabled user who has to rely on speech
recognition software, but I am able to use a mouse adequately enough to
use the On-Screen Keyboard for manual input when required. I would
like to be able to somehow input a password when Windows boots for more
security.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> Cannot Log in to windowsI turn the computer on and once it starts up it goes to the screen where

However, there are no user names/icons on the screen it just says welcome and
has the "Turn Off Computer" in bottom corner. I tried to enter Safe Mode to
see if Administrator name appears as it says in the Windows XP manual... but
no user names appear there either. Is there any way I can login?

- Windows XP Network >> XP/2K ICS Problems from client (LAN works well)Hello,
I have a problem with ICS on Windows XP Professional on one computer
(server), and Windows 2000 Professional on another computer as a client.
My LAN is fully working, I can share folders between the two computers and
ping each others without any problem.
I'm using two Realtek 8139 10/100Mbps (PCI) Fast Ethernet cards with a
crossover cable. I've disabled the ICF on the server and enabled Simple
File Sharing. Both Windows' are fresh installations (installed two or three
weeks ago), I didn't make much changes on them, just the necessary drivers
(all WHQL) and the Service Packs (for the client I've only applied SP3 to
Windows 2000 due to problems I've read about 3D Studio Max and SP4)
- From the server, I can access to internet, using my ADSL connection.
- From the client, I can ping and tracert addresses on my LAN and internet
but I can't display any website, I can't check my mails or use FTP, I can't
read Usenet either.
More details about my configuration:
-------------------------------------------
LAN settings on the server (Windows XP):
Computer Name: net
Workgroup: LAN
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
I added my clients to %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts on the
server:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.3 workstation.MSHOME.NET
192.168.0.2 networks.MSHOME.NET
(192.168.0.2 is a Slackware installation I have on another partition of my
client computer, and I made sure that I didn't forget the two blank lines
and the end of the HOSTS file.)
Here is the contents of %systemroot%system32/drivers/etc/hosts.ics on the
server:
192.168.0.1 net.mshome.net # 2008 8 5 22 6 53 59 172
192.168.0.3 workstation.mshome.net # 2003 8 4 28 12 37 54 271
-------------------------------------------
LAN settings on the client (Windows 2000 Pro):
Computer name: workstation
Workgroup LAN
IP address: 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
DNS suffix for this connection: MSHOME.NET
-------------------------------------------
I've already tried, without success, to:
- set my ISP's DNS addresses to the "Preferred" and "Alternate DNS Server"
on the LAN connection on the client
- set the gateway (192.168.0.1) as the default gateway on the server as
well
- use "MSHOME" as a workgroup name
- disable some of my firewall rules (Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5)
- disable the firewall itself
- uninstall, physically remove and reinstall the NIC's on both machines
I've also noticed that exactly the same thing happens on Slackware, I can
ping, I do receive Echo Replies and I can tracert URLs, it resolves the
domain names into their IPs but I can't access to internet via any browser.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> Outlook Express is Removing AttachmentsFor the first time I downloaded and installed a Windows
Update. It happened to be the XP Service Pack.
As soon as I did, my Outlook Express started removing
every attachment I received, giving me the message that
it had removed an "unsafe attachment." I know the
senders in each instance, and none of these attachments
are "unsafe."
Can someone tell me how to keep my OE attachments. I
have my security settings on Medium.
Thanks.

- Windows XP >> internet trackingI'm using xp pro fully updated/patched behind a firewall router and ZA latest
version
I have a question about how various web sites get ahold of your e-mail
address.
I don't visit porno sites, nor questionable sites, but still I get filth
spam, and generic spam, I don't use my valid e-mail address for posting
questions, nor answers, so how the blanky blank do these filth spammers get
my e-mail address??
some are broadcast to undisclosed receipent so that I understand, but not
the ones directed to me...
if I do not use my pc for a few days the filth dwindles down, but when I use
the internet for anything, I suddenly get swamped with it.
