- Windows XP Update >> BAD UPDATE breaking update.microsoft.com found...MAYBEI have pasted copies of my previous postingson this subject to this
board below.
Using the method of elimination described, I have found that after
install update:
MSXML 4.0SP2 Security Update (KB927978)
update.microsoft.com would no longer function. I recieved the error
message below. Note: This update also prevented me from using the
update error reporting tool on the update site.
I hope this helps someone.
PS: I don't know where else to report this.

After looking everywhere on the Internet and in the KB, I had the
brilliant idea (OK! So sometimes I'm a little bit slow and backwards)
of using the system restore to go back to before the updates.
It works fine now. I am now using the custom update method (with
restore points in points in between) in an attempt to figure which
caused the problem.
If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

- Windows XP Security >> Please Hekp: Hard Drive Access DeniedTo Windows SecurityXP,
My computer wouldn't boot up(i run windowsXP) and i had a
company put in a new hard drive(:C) and keep the
remaining hard drive as a backup(:F) All my pictures,
folders, documents are still on the old hard drive and i
can't access them. When i try to get in to driveF, access
is denied. I do know the original passwords of two users,
but that hasn't helped me. the computer fixer said to
create a new user account using the same password as the
original, but this didn't help. All the folders in drive
F say they are empty and access is denied. However, when
I go to DriveF properties, there is disk space used, but
it says read only. Also, almost all the programs that
were orginally in there before,Canon photo printo, HP
printer software, etc... are listed in the computer. I'm
not tech savy at all and i was wondering if anyone can
desperately help me. I just want to retrieve hundreds of
family pictures. Is there a way to retrieve my hard drive
F?
Please help,

- Windows XP >> Copying files across network results in corruptionHello,
I have been having an intermittent problem. One workstation has a user
that copies files to another workstation across the network. Most of
the time the files copy okay. But sometimes
they are corrupted. The method that the user is using is to copy the
local file (Ctrl-C), then open up a browser window of the destination
(i.e. start-run- \\computer\c\drivers) then paste (Ctrl-V).
We first started to notice this when the IP address was
manually/statically assigned. I am not sure if this is the true cause.
There are no IP address conflicts. The cabling seems to work fine. The
network card drivers could be the culprit here? It is most likely the
destination computer as this one is the only one known on the network
to have this problem.
Any hints or ideas here?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Genuine Validation ToolHi, Just wondering how this new Validation works with the pirated corporate
copies of XP Pro?
Can you purchase a key from Microsoft online for $281 and it will work on
these copies of Pro?
I did one for a new customer last week using change product key from a XP
Pro SP-2 OEM and the key was rejected?
I have a copy of this corporate version running on my virtual pc for testing
purposes and the only thing that would work is doing a repair install and
using the key provided, is there a quicker way?
what is this KeyUpdateTool.exe used for?, I tried using it also and the key
was rejected is there a special key Microsoft provides you that will work?
What annoys me the most is as a system builder, I have had no warning or
information about this from Microsoft.

- customize >> icons text backgroundSorry! THis is really small, but it's really niggling at
me. I've got XP home edition, and when I started the
desktop icon texts had a transparent background. At some
point they've acquired a coloured background that matches
the desktop's (picture-less) colour. The 'guest' account
still has them transparent, but I can't get them back
like it on my main account. I've tried resetting the
desktop theme, and saving the guest account's theme and
loading that, but none of it works. Please help!

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> internet (virus???) issueImmediately after loading XP on my brand new computer, and
while I was obtaining updates from Microsoft, porno pop-
ups began to appear, specifically,
argvideo.com/tool.html. Answering NO to entering that
website, the site appeared to not respond to my attempts
to navigate from it. My PC can not reach the Microsoft
Update site, and the argvideo site repeatedly points my
browser to it. I have tried Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox and Yahoo Browsers. I have tried reloading
Internet Explorer Browser. While attempting to download
anything, my Prodigy connection shows about a 3- to 10- to
1 ratio of bytes SENT to bytes RECEIVED. This happens
only on this PC. Two other PC's work just fine on the
same account, so the problem is in this PC. I have loaded
Trend Micro's PC-Cillin, but am not able to attain a
connection that will permit registration and updating in
order to help find the bug. I don't want to re-load
Windows unless absolutely necessary.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Can't burn DVD's using Windows or NeroI swapped out a Lite-on LTR-52327S CD burner for a Toshiba DVR-110 DVD
burner. Thinking I'd save myself some hassle I just swapped the drives in the
bay, leaving Windows to assign the same drive letter used for the CD for the
new DVD. Windows recognises the device as a "DVD-RAM" but won't burn any type
of DVD format. It reads pre-existing DVD's OK. There's minimal info on the
KB, but one suggestion was it may be a Registry problem, potential solution
was to uninstall the hardware driver and force a hardware scan. I've tried
this twice with no difference. Anyone out there experiecned this and offer
some help?

- Windows XP Support >> File annotation utility?I'm using XP Home if it matters.
Does anyone know of a utility that will attach info to a file such as the
originating program (Ntbackup for example), type of file (backup), what's
in it (drive D), etc. File properties don't show this amount of detail.
I tried Google using search phrases such as file annotation, file info,
file data, and file notes. The only one that turned up anything was the
last - a utility called File Notes. This seems to do what I want but I'd
use it so seldom I'm not sure it's worth $49 to me. I was hoping for
something free or more like $15 - 20.
I could put a text file with this information in the folder but that
would be a lot of trouble, meaning I probably wouldn't do it often enough
to be useful.
I don't like to use very long descriptive file names because the file
manager I use truncates the view of such long names. I suppose I could
use My Computer but my file manager is much much faster and handier.
TIA

- Windows XP Support >> Files show up twice in search resultsI've couldn't find an answer to my question else where so I'll ask it here in
hope for an answer.
When doing a search for files , results are duplicated only if the file is
located in "My Documents" folder. The type of file doesn't seem to matter
ie...mp3, txt, doc
I've inspected each duplicate to see if maybe there is a difference, but
they are the same file. (name, size, , location, even date modified)
