- Windows XP >> Some websites want a dialup connectionI've got a DSL connection & Win xp Pro. Sometimes I visit certain web sites
and the computer suddenly pops up my dialup connection dialog box, even
though the DSL connection is working fine. What's the reason for this?
Anyone know a way of looking behind the scenes to understand exactly what
source is calling that dialog box? Or, is there a way to keep it from
happening for ANY reason, regardless how valid?
This machine is absolutely, positively virus & spyware-free, incidentally.

- Windows XP Network >> Networking IssueI am trying to network three PCs (1 Desktop, and two laptops) wirelessly. The
desktop is hardwired to a router (BT make) and the two laptops have a
combination of wireless network card and a usb network card.
I have assigned them all to the same workgroup (HOME) and when I run the
search I can see all of the PCs connected. The issue I'm having is that when
I double click on one of the PCs to access the shared folders I get an error
message along the lines of access not granted and that I should contact the
administrator.
What are the ways our this? All PCs are running XP have the SP2 pack
installed.

turned blank and wouldn't let me get back to my work, so i switched the
computer of and started it up again. The prob lem is I didn't get a chance to

- Windows XP >> Retail version of XP Pro vs. regular versionI bought a Gateway notebook with Windows XP Pro installed as well as
Microsoft Office. It has:
CPU: Intel Celeron M 360 1.4 GHz
Memory: 512MB (1 x 512MB)DDR PC2700 SO-DIMM
Video: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Integrated NB
Audio: AC '97
I installed an older (Pre XP) version of a program called Tenant Pro 5. I
had been running it on a Windows 98SE desktop prior to this. When I tried to
run it I got the windows message about having to shut down Tenant Pro before
it even started. I removed it and reinstalled it several times but got the
same result. I tried loading and running it on my computer with Windows XP
Pro and it ran fine.
I contacted Gateway but they pushed me off onto Tentant Pro to ask for an
OEM patch. Tentant Pro no longer supports version 5 since they now have
version 7 out. They did say that version 5 was available before XP and that
some computers will run it and others will not. They therefore don't have an
OEM patch.
Any suggestions? I'd really like to run it on the notebook.
TIA,

- Windows XP >> monitor stuck in power save modeHelp! My PC is stuck in 'power save' mode which means my monitor
remains blank. The 'Windows>Enter' keyboard routine does not work,
nor does disconnecting/reconnectiing power cord. I can't disable Power
Management (the root of the problem) because I can't see anything on
the monitor...
I'm at wits end. Anybody out there got a solution?
Your help will be much appreciated. TIA, Chris Gough

- Windows XP Setup >> is it possible to partition a partition?I just installed XP Pro on my computer. I made a mistake
during the partition process and I made one giant
partition (about 30 gig). Now that XP is fully installed
I wanted to make this one big partition into two. Disk
Management won't seem to let me do this. Is there any
thing I can change? Let me know if you have any
suggestions. Thanks

- Windows XP >> Read Only FilesWhen I move a "read only" folder from my CD (burner drive)
to my hard drive and delete it, I still have the original
folder on my burner drive. How can I get rid of it?

- Windows XP >> Can't uninstall network adapterWin XP Pro SP2 including most recent security updates.
I was unable to connect to the Internet and found that Device Manager showed
a problem with my NIC: Windows is unable to load drivers. The first thing
to do is to uninstall and let Windows find the hardware and reinstall, right?
When I try to uninstall, I get "Failed to uninstall, this device may be
necessary to boot up" or something like that. I do not boot from a network,
just from the hard drive, in the usual manner.
I get this behavior in Safe Mode as well (although in Safe Mode, Device
Manager shows no problem with the NIC, probably because Windows didn't try to
load the networking drivers).
Something else clearly is going on because all of my System Restore Points
are "unavailale" although the System Volume Information directory is not
empty.
I' ve run Ad-Aware in Safe Mode, which didn't find anything. I'm about to
run Spybot S&D also. I've done a CHKDSK /R which didn't find any errors.
Any suggestions before I either open the case and physically remove the NIC
or restore from my last Ghost image (which I'd rather not do because it was a
week or so ago and I'll have to take steps to prevent losing a bunch of data
that has been modified in the interim)?

- Windows XP >> Audio problems with Windows Media PlayerI suddenly lost the ability to use any of my software that has audio.
The lasst time I had audio was when I used Ulead software to burn a
DVD slide show with an audio sound track.
I have a P4, 1.3GHZ, Win XP, 1GHz of RAM and 2 hard drives, a 30 Gb
and a 100 Gb.
When I go to Real player I get the following. "Cannot open the audio
device, another application may be using it"
When I open Windows Media Player I get. "WMP cannot be used because
the required audio hardware cannot be found"
I went to the control panel and opened "Sounds & Audio Devices"
Under the "Volume Tab" I get "No audio device"
Under the Hardware Tab I get. "All working properly" when I check
each device in the list.
I'm Stumped!!!!!!!

Windows XP Setup >> webcam install
Hi,
Go here http://www.mic-innovations.com/documents.cfm, click on "PC Cameras"
in the first box, then on "Webcams" in the second, then choose the model
from the third. Then you can download the manual for your camera which
should include the necessary instructions.

Getting 'serious error' messages and the last one said

(0x0000007,0x00000CD4,0xF000E819,0x00000018)

- Windows XP >> transferring data from old hard driveI have a new dell pc running XP. I have an older pc, running windows 95, with a 3 GB hard drive. I want to transfer all the data from it onto my new computers hard drive. How can I do it? Can I run a parallel port from one pc to another and then copy the files? Should I remove the old HD, put it into my new pc and transfer files across? I am at a loss. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> Home Netork Problems With Norton Internet Security 2004I have two Pentium 4 Desktops set up on a Home Network. Both are running
Win XP Pro. The network is created wirelessly via a Linksys 802.11b
Broadband Router. I have Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2004 (on one
machine which is wire connected to the router) running with the DHCP IP
Address Range of the router in the Trusted Zone of the firewall. Everything
was working fine until a few days ago when the following problems occurred:
Network sharing of files and printers failed.
The error "Homenet is not accessible. You may not have permission to use
this network resource" appeared when attempting to view computers in the
workgroup.
The Network Setup Wizard failed to restore the network and would not even
show the main computer in Network Places.
Microsoft .Net Service failed using MSN Messenger
All of this seemed to resolve after I disabled the firewall, and ran the
Network Setup Wizard. The problems came back if I reinstated the firewall.
I tried checking the solution Turn On NetBIOS over TCP/IP (MS article
318030), but my situation did not meet the conditions that Microsoft detail,
and this lost the Internet Connection
I can only put this down to some update that Symantec have sent to NIS 2004.
Has anybody else had this or similar experiences?
Much is made of having a firewall in place, but it really does seem to cause
problems. Is a software firewall really necessary, or does the hardware
router provide a sufficient firewall? NIS does seem to detect a lot of
potential intrusions, but if it makes the network fail it is not much use!
Any comments - especially from the MVP's would be appreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> How do I set this up?I have 3 computers all on the same network and subnet. Computer1 has
sensitive information that must be secured. However, I need to be able to
access Computer1 from Computer2 and Computer3. I've shared the root of
Computer1 and now I need to know what local and share permissions I need to
set so that 2 and 3 can access 1. Also, do I need to do anything with the
policies on any of the computers? What about user accounts, do I need to
create user accounts on Computer1 with the same name as accounts on 2 and 3?
It's been a long time since I've done this stuff. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

- Windows XP Update >> window explorer open file from 3rd party softwareI have XP Professional SP 2 with Radeon X800XT video card.
In the past 3 days I am having problem opening file from Photoshop 7 using
"File->Open". I get to the directory where my file is and the software
disappears without error messages. Also if I have window explorer opened but
minimized and working in either Photoshop or Creator the system come up with
window explorer failed and does a reset of sort. Reset meaning explorer
disappears and a warning saying my system is not protected by a firewall,
which normally appears after restarting or booting up the system. The
Creator and Photoshop are still up and running when explorer fails. I
removed update KB900985, but had the same problem so I reinstalled the patch.
I recently installed the "Window Genuine Advantage Notication (KB905474)" at
the same time as KB900985, could the problem be from these two patches?
