- Windows XP Support >> windows explorer keeps crashingI posted this a few other places but all answers I have recieved do not work.
Everytime I start up an error automatically pops up and says windows
explorer has encountered a problem and must close. So, if I click close well
it goes away for like 30 seconds then pops up again.
If I click send report It send a response, then the box closes and then
again it ops up. Let's say it is a never ending circle.
I have click on details and it does tell me that it has to deal with
explorer.exe
and also, tells me a file that is involved. I try to like get rid of that
file but Nothing will stay open long enough to do a thing.
There were other malfunctions along with this like windows installer auto
opens at start up, but I used some info somone in here gave me and it stopped.
I do not know if anything got downloaded in the past week,when this started,
I know where to check some places to see what new is downloaded. Could it be
something that was downloaded that I did not know and where are the places I
can look.
One day I did have a porn site shortcut on the desktop when I opened up but
I thought I deleted it all.
Would i help to do anything in Safe Mode or run some type of SFC scan
orwhatever?
Any?

- Windows XP Setup >> XP has to goI have Windows XP installed. I don't want it anymore - I
have to get rid of it. Window's built-in help file said
that Add/Remove programs would allow me to uninstall
Windows by locating the words Windows XP. That option
isn't in Add/Remove programs. So what do I do now?

- Windows XP Hardware >> hard disk life span power managementhi!
i was wondering, what's best for saving hard disk's life span through
power management.
there are two main considerations i can think of:
setting power management to deactivate hard disk every 15 min or so.
this would keep the disk cooler and improve life span.
but opposing that some people say stopping and starting the hard disk
frequently is really bad and deactivate hard disk should be generally
set to never!
what do you think?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> No ability to save to a DVD ?.Having trouble signing in, after I repeatadly click save my username and
password when Icome back it's blank, now to post a new question it goes in a
circle ?, I spent the last 2 days buying and running Reg/Cure and
Spybotware then bought Roxio 10 and installed it but, WMM still only says
save to Cd not DVD also, I looked at the compatability list and there is no
Roxio there, three say Nero and a bunch of others.
Is ther anyway to reinstall Movie Maker 2.1, My comp says it's there as
well as SP2, I can do it on my laptop, but not my desktop, this is
maddening, could someone please help.

I recently formated my hard drive and installed Windows
XP. Now whenever I try to start up my computer I get a
message that says "Remove disks or other media". There are
no disks in either the cd rom drive or the floppy drive.
The hard drive is able to boot as a secondary drive. If
anyone can give me any advice it would be GREATLY
appreciated.

- Windows XP Setup >> settings not being saved in administrator accountsettings not being saved in administrator account in XP pro.
I did a search at win update and only found 15 references that really didn't
hit the question.
I have 2 accounts administrator type, but don't need 2. I'm the only one using
this machine.
This machine seems to do exactly what it wants to do.
For the past few weeks I've been trying to make the admin account the main
account and just use that one and delete my 2nd one and just set up one of
those others that has to exist as the backup admin account.
I can't get the admin account to save the most basic settings. ie: every boot
you need to change the mouse settings. It can't add wallpaper from another
drive, it can't use the slide show screen saver cause the pix are on another
drive.
folder settings disappear immediately after you close and reopen a folder.
And the list goes on from there.
It has considered the admin account the default user and boot to it when it has
a problem. Trouble is I have to reset stuff then log into the backup account
cause the admin is worthless..
How do I make the admin account work like the 2nd account ?

- Windows XP >> WinXP: TCP/IP fails if "File and Printer Sharing" is enabledWinXP: TCP/IP fails if "File and Printer Sharing" is enabled
A new installation of XP Pro.
Initial setup gave me the 4 default components:
Client for MS Networks (CMSN)
File and Printer Sharing (FaPS)
QoS
TCP/IP
Running DHCP via a router.
Removed QoS.
Packets get sent from the machine but none are received.
Checked ICF and it is not enabled.
Disable everything but TCP/IP, "repair" the connection and all is well
(except for being able to share).
Enable CMSN and connection stays good. However, if I reboot I have to
go back to disabling everything except TCP/IP, repair the connection,
and then add CMSN again.
At any time if I enable FaPS, the connection dies immediately. I test
this by having multiple pings going and as soon as I enable it, the
pings fail.
I've made certain that TCP/IP is the only thing bound to FaPS. No
help.
Uninstalled & reinstalled FaPS. No luck.
Tried it over NetBEUI. Works for a brief period and fails on reboot.
NetBIOS is enabled over TCP/IP.
Any help is appreciated!!

- Windows XP Update >> 926436 downloaded-installed twiceNow what? I only checked this one update to install-926436. Progress showed
it downloaded (1 of 1 update) and installed. However it showed this
downloading and installing twice. Then said to restart. I have not
restarted yet. Will this cause some problem? It is listed in Add/Remove
only once. Should I remove it and not restart?
(XPSP2)
Thanks.
