- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> RPC Problem caused File Protection problemok for several days i recieved an RPC message from
windows and shut down and rebooted as i was told to do. i
did not think anything of this as i was using resouce
hungry software at the time.
last night after i rebooted i was promted with a message
saying that Windows File protection needed the Win XP CD
to replace some system files. But windows does not access
the CD to remove anything from it. I have tried rebooting
with the CD in the drive and also placing the disc in the
drive when the promtp aprears.
I downloaded all approprate windows updates last night
and still the message apears.
I am running Norton 24/7 and also the inbuilt Firewall
no new software has been installed.
Does anyone know what could be causeing this message to
apear?
Regards

- Windows XP Hardware >> network card disabled by unknown software problemHello,
On July 30 the network card of my laptop suddenly did not function anymore.
Reinstalling the drivers did not help. The supplier of my laptop gave me a
new motherboard, with built in network card, but that didn't fix it. They
said it was a software problem and that I needed to reïnstall Windows XP and
build up my whole configuration again. Then I reïnstalled the latest system
recovery point from before the problem started (June 27) and that did fix
it! No problems anymore.
Two weeks ago again my network card stopped functioning. What I can remember
is that I had a software crash while I was travelling (MS Word with MS Visio
openend for a included diagram did not come back from hibernate). When I
came home my network card did not function. I went back to the latest system
recovery point, but that did not help. Then I tried a system recovery point
before that, but to no avail...
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this without a complete reïnstall of
Windows XP and all the software?
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A50. The network card is an Intel(R)
PRO/100 VE.
Thanks for any suggestions,
regards,
Henk Koning

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Volume Controlaccidentally removed some audio device using Add or
Remove Programs in Control Panel. When I try to play some
audio, I get a message saying there are no audio mixer
devices available. "To install mixer devices," it
says, "go to Control Panel, click Printers and Other
Hardware, and then click Add Hardware." I tried this and
it says all the audio devices from the list it gives are
working properly, and nothing comes up when I search for
hardware.
How can I fix this?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> browser shutdownsI've been having a lot of browser shutdowns both IE and
Netscape and I don't know why. I've also noticed that my
system time is off. If the battery that's supposed to
keep that current is losing power can it also cause these
shutdowns? Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> want to GET RID of firewallHey guys, my problem is that I want to get rid of whatever is causing my
computer to act like it's firewalled.
I'm currently studying in Japan and have ADSL in the dorms. It seemed to be
firewalled, but no one else I asked really knew much about it, so I just kind
of accepted it and moved on. But recently one of my friends in Tokyo has
gotten a new internet connection, which her computer works perfectly on and
gets amazing speed. But when I connect, it still seems I am firewalled. Using
PC Flank's scanner (pcflank.com) all my ports are stealthed while hers are
closed.
I am not concerned with security, and just want to get rid of whatever is
causing this. I am using XP Professional and do not have SP2. I have XP's
built in firewall turned off on all my network connections. I have had Norton
Systemworks 2005 installed, but have uninstalled it.. not sure if there could
be lingering settings from that. I have gone into the registry but don't know
what to look for...
Anyways I have done all I can think of. Even gone through and checked every
setting I can find and matched it with the working computer. It's very
frustrating... PLEASE help!

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows x64 UpgradeI qualify for the upgrade and would like to order it in the good faith that
appropriate 64-bit drivers will eventually be available for my hardware, but
I do not want to commit myself to the upgrade in case they do not. If I
order the upgrade and decide not to use it, will I be allowed to continue to
use my current Windows XP Pro license or will its validity be negated once I
order the upgrade? If the original license remains valid until I activate
the Windows x64 license, I would be very happy to order the upgrade.

- Windows XP >> Files not deletingI am running WinXP Pro. I have several files over 600Mb that refuse to be
deleted. I cannot locate any instances or programs running that would
disallow the files from being deleted. My virus defs are current, my OS
updates as well. Any help on getting rid of them?
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Hardware >> mouse pad problemsi use a mouse pad and more and more frequently the cursor flies off to either
the top right hand corner or bottom left hand corner of the screen. I then
am unable to control it using the pad and it can move haphazardly accross the
top of the screen. I can sometimes control it using the navigating "stick"
which seems to stabilise the mouse.

- Windows XP Setup >> Registry setting to Auto-Arrange Desktop Icons in XPHi All,
I am currently working on an unattended installation of Windows XP, and was
wondering if anyone knows how to automaticcally set the desktop items to
auto-arrange without having to write an AutoIT or ScriptIT script to enable
the option.
I know that this could be done under the registry change shown below for
Windows 2000 Pro, however this does not work for Windows XP
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DeskVi
ew]
"Settings"=hex:01,00,00,00,21,02,00,00,
Any info, no matter how small it seems, would be appreciated!

- Windows XP Hardware >> 48Bit LBA QuestionI have an older PC running Windows XP SP2 that does not support 48Bit LBA. I
would like to install a 160GB hard drive as a replacement for two smaller
drives.
If I create a primary partition (15GB) for the OS and an extended partition
containing a number of logical partitions non of which are greater than 30GB
will I run into any problems? I plan to move the existing OS over to the new
drive using Ghost.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> disk cleanup of windows components, pinball.inf problem . . .My hard drive is very crowded - disk cleanup would be so much more useful, if when I choose the option to choose windows components to remove, I didn't encounter this "Windows XP Setup" dialog
Setup was unable to open information file pinball.inf.
Contact your system administrator. The specific error code is 0x2 at line 2011777033
I have searched in vain for a solution, I believe I removed most of my games a long time ago, am puzzled as to why the lack of this file would stop the process. Any help will be so much appreciated, I have no clue as to how to choose components to remove manually! Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> NTFS metadata/$Secure:$SDS fragmentationI just wanted to see if anyone out there knows whether security
descriptor fragmentation is a problem. PerfectDisk reports
fragmentation in the $Secure:$SDS datastream as an issue. It seems to
me that this datastream is not likely to be accessed contiguously, so
it should be benign. Is that true?
I would assume that fragmentation of the indexes ($Secure:$SDH and
$Secure:$SDI) is much more of an issue.
Does anyone have the inside scoop on whether fragmentation of the main
data store matters?
Thanks for your help.

they do but that does not make it right. Anyway this is a nuisance for
me, I spent an hour trying to figure out why the DXVA acceleration was
not working because of this bug. So yea, any suggestions d00ders?
