- Windows XP Support >> lsass.exe System errorRecently a computer I am servicing gave following error; "any I/O operation
initiated by the registry failed unrecoverable. The registry could not read
in, write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of
the registry." The computer then goes into reboot. Researching MS
information I learned it MAY be a virus. I low level formatted the hard
drive, purged CMOS, high level the drive and re-installed windows xp with
SP/2. It comes up with same error and constantly reboots. Will stay up in
safe-mode.
In running MS Article ID # 883268 I find my KDCSVC is not installed.
Any assistance??

- Windows XP Security >> won't ask for logon name and passwordhello,
I've just networked 2 home computers via a dsl router. pc1 runs win2000,
pc2 runs winXP. Accessing win2000 via My Network Places asks for a logon
name and password. Accessing winXP computer simply opens up the shared
folder. How do I configure winXP to require a logon name and password before
sharing files?
thank you in advance,

- Windows XP Network >> Offline Files troubleOk, I ran into a VERY strange problem today. Last night i setup one of
our mobile users for offline files( he is the first in our company to
ever use it) so i went to our shared drive for the home folders(
\\server\home$, that everyone has a folder in. mapped to U: on their
work stations, and that My Documents is redirected to) so, anyway i
gave domain users read permissions on that folder, and got the laptop
setup for offline folders, synced and called it a night. This morning
when i get in i get calls from almost everyone in our company saying
that their U: drive has a funny little icon on it. So i go and look and
now everyone in our company has their home directories showing that
they are offline files, when people log on and off windows syncs the
files and everything. So my question is, how on earth did this happen?
I didnt change GPO because we never set any of the options as far as
offline files. So i have no idea how it got started or how to fix it.
Any insight would be very helpful. Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> VPN client in Windows XPI am trying to configure some Windows XP Professional
systems to connect to a VPN server. I have no problem
establishing the tunnel with a regular LAN Internet
connection. However, when I hook the computer up to a DSL
modem that uses PPPoE to provide its service, I cannot get
the VPN client to send the packets out the virtual
interface... Windows keeps trying to put them on the LAN
instead of rerouting the specified IP block through the
VPN tunnel. I am using both the Windows XP PPPoE client
and the Windows XP VPN client under SP1. There are no
Internet connectivity problems in play here, it is simply
that when the Internet connection is provided by PPPoE
instead of Ethernet, packets destined for the specific
remote network are not sent through the PPPoE client. Do I
have a misconfiguration? Does something have to be changed
to make this work with the dreadful PPPoE? Is this
insurmountable?? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan
PS
Another thing I wonder about is dynamic IPs - is there any
way for Windows' VPN client to learn its IP address for
the local tunnel endpoint? If you get your IP dynamically,
then every time it changes you have to go in and change
the tunnel endpoint. Is there a better way?? Thank you all
you wonderful, helpful people.

- Windows XP Hardware >> graphics card driver problemWhen using games my computer crashes and restarts. When my
computer boots up again I send an error report and I get
informed that my graphics card driver is unstable, I use an
'inno3d tornado GeForce 4 MX 440 128MB', the drivers are
the latest signed drivers. I have no viruses. Sometimes
when the computer crashes it comes up with a blue screen
stating something about disabling BIOS memory, caching and
shadowing. It also said something about the file:
nv4_4mini.sys.
Any help on overcoming this problem would be greatly
appreciated, thanks very much.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Modem(s) problemI have two identical d-link data/fax/voice modems
installed in my XP machine. Modem 1 is on PCI slot 1 and
modem 2 is on pci slot 2, both use different IRQ's and
system properties shows no conflicts.
I am using Modem 1 to fax from and it is connected to the
switchboard, and works fine to both send and receive.
Modem 2 is connected to its own line and is used for
accessing internet on a direct dial basis.
The problem occurs when the fax software - wether it be
XP's own or Winfax Pro - is open. Modem two appears to be
unavailable and as such I cannot dial out from moodem 2.
When the fax software is shutdown modem 2 re-appears and I
can dial out.
Any suggestions on how to make both modems available at
the same time with the fax software on auto receive mode?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Task bar shrinkageHello,
I have this weird problem, well, it's more of a nuisance, but still, I'd
like to fix it if possible.
I have moved my task bar to the right of my screen, so that it's vertical
now. It's three "spaces" wide, and with that I mean that I can put 3 icons
next to each other in QuickLaunch.
Unfortunately, whenever I start the computer, Windows shrinks the task bar
by one of these "spaces", and I have to manually resize it. As I said, no big
deal, but I am kind of tired of having to do this.
I tried leaving it alone, but then the next time Windows will shrink it down
to 1 "space", and that's really not good for me.
So, does anybody know what's going on here, and how I can tame the beast?
Thank you.

- Windows XP Update >> M I.5'Pers ecution ' t he BB C, televisio n a nd rad io-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
-= the. BBC, television and radio -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
The first incident in. June 1990 was when a BBC newsreader made what seemed
to be a reaction to something which had happened in my home,. and out of
context of. what they were reading. My first reaction was disbelief; nothing
of the sort had ever happened before, the idea that such a thing. could
occur had not. crossed my mind, yet there was no doubt of what had just
taken place. My disbelief eroded. as this recurred time after time. Besides
the news, offenders. included shows such as Crimewatch (!), Newsnight, and
"entertainment" shows. There seems. to be very little moral understanding
among the people who make these programmes; they just assume. they will
never be caught,. so they carry on without a thought for the illegality or
amorality of what they do.. The only time I ever heard a word raised in
doubt was. by Paxman being interviewed by someone else (I think by Clive
Anderson) back in 1990; referring to the "watching" he said. it troubled
him, and when asked. by the host what you could do about it, replied "Well,
you could just. switch it off" (meaning the surveillance monitor in the
studio). He clearly didn't let his. doubts stand in the way of continued
surreptitious. spying from his own or other people's shows, though.
Now you're convinced this. is a troll, aren't you? This story has been the
subject of much. debate on the uk.* Usenet newsgroups for over a year, and
some readers believe. it to be an invention (it has even been suggested that
a group of psychology students are responsible!), others think. it
symptomatic of a derangement of the author, and. a few give it credence.
Quite a few people do. know part or all of the story already, so this text
will fill in. the gaps in their knowledge. For the rest, what may persuade
you of the. third possibility is that some of the incidents detailed are
checkable. against any archives of radio and TV programmes that exist; that
the incidents involve. named people (even if those hiding in the shadows
have not made their. identity or affiliations evident), and those people
may be persuaded to come out with the. truth; and that the campaign of
harassment is continuing today. both in the UK and on the American
continent, in a none-too-secret fashion; by its. nature the significant risk
of exposure. increases with time.
On several occasions people said to my face that harassment. from the TV was
happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford, I spent the evening in. the
local. pub with the company's technical director Ian, and Phil, another
employee. Ian made a few references to. me and said to Phil, as if in an
aside, "Is he the bloke. who's been on TV?" to which Phil replied, "Yes, I
think. so".
I made a number of efforts to find the bugs, without success; last. year we
employed professional counter-surveillance people to scan. for bugs (see
later) again without result. In autumn 1990 I disposed of my TV. and watched
virtually no television for. the next three years. But harassment from TV
stations has gone on for over six years and continues to. this day. This is
something that many. people obviously know is happening; yet the TV staff
have. the morality of paedophiles, that because they're getting away with it
they. feel no wrong.
Other people who were involved in the. abuse in 1990 were DJs on BBC radio
stations, notably disc jockeys from Radio 1 and other stations (see. the
following section). Again, since they don't have sense in the first. place
they can't be expect to have the moral sense not to be part of. criminal
harassment.

- Windows XP Network >> Windows XP Home: Browsing is slow, many images and some pages do not show upHi,
I have reviewed dozens of Web pages and newsgroup threads discussing
the problems with symptoms similar to what I observe (see below), but
so far neither of the recipes I found worked for me... I'm desperate,
and would like to avoid reinstalling the OS and all other software by
all means. Please help!
The main frustrating symptoms are:
(1) On too many Web pages, most of the images do not show up (like if
they couldn't be found). I see spots with red crosses instead. There
must be some sort of timeout involved, because I see browser trying to
get those images for some time and then "giving up". Refreshing
usually does not help. What does help (in every other case) is
right-clicking a red-crossed placeholder and asking the browser to
"Show picture"...
(2) Some Web pages just cannot be loaded at all. After some trying,
the browser says "Page cannot be displayed", like if the page didn't
exist.
(3) The last observation that may be relevant is the behavior of
nslookup program: it just cannot resolve any names! Neither with 2
seconds timeout, nor with 10 seconds timeout -- it almost always
complains that there was no response from the DNS server. Yes, namely
_almost_ always, because once in a while nslookup does manage to see
some response from DNS... Again, the most confusing thing is that the
browser doesn't seem to have any problems with resolving domain
names... or does it? Is it possible that failures of image downloads
are caused by some problem with DNS client?..
(4) I'm not absolutely sure, but it seems that the problems described
above started to harrass me only recently - after I applied a large
series of patches/upgrades from Microsoft's Windows Update service
(including Windows XP Home SP1a and Internet Explorer 6 SP1).
My current configuration is:
Hardware: Toshiba Satellite, 1.8G, 256K
OS: Windows XP 2002 Home Edition SP1
(Windows Version 5.1 Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633; Service Pack
1)
IE: Version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633
Update versions:; SP1; Q822925; Q330994; Q828750;

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 216.139.32.33
216.139.33.37
As you can see, this notebook accesses the Internet via another
computer in may home LAN; that gateway computer is running Routing and
Remote Service under Windows 2000 Server and has no _any_ problems
with Internet access over 56K PPP-dialup (so everything must be just
fine with my ISP and their DNS servers).
FWIW: Both computers also run ZoneAlarm firewalls, but I really doubt
that it has anything to do with the problem in question (at least,
shutting both firewalls down doesn't change a bit in my dare
situation).
Please help, save me from insanity!
Thank you,
Yarik.

- Windows XP Network >> Chuck's Worst Nightmare - Enabling DHCP???Hey all (probably just Chuck haha) I set the network up on some software that
came with the TRENDnet rooter - 'Broadband IP Gateway + Fast EtherSwitch' -
when I open the program I see a profile for both computers, but neither have
an actual internet connection.
Chuck you said "Enable DHCP on the router, and setup the router per your
ISP's service." you overestimate my knowledge lol...what is DHCP and how
would I go about enabling it and setting up my ISP's service???
I also have no idea what the DHCP client is, or how I'd go about enabling
that...I think I know how to get IP addresses though.
Thanks...and sorry again...I am the network bafoon

- Windows XP >> Intellitype software causing lagHey guys and gals; I tried to find the correct newsgroup and this is where I
ended up, so please bear with me.
I recently formatted because of a bad HDD and have WinXP Pro SP2. When I
play World of Warcraft in windowed mode (which means that the game only takes
up a portion of the screen instead of 100% of the screen) the video will lag
very much if I press any button that causes intellitype software to generate
a pop-up notification on the screen (such as Num Lock, Caps Lock, Volume up
or down). If I turn up the Anti-Aliasing on my video card settings to a
higher setting, the lag becomes much much worse. However, if i play when the
game takes up 100% of the screen (like any normal game would run) I get zero
lag / chop when I press the aforementioned buttons on my keyboard no matter
how strong the Anti-Aliasing may be. I've tried setting World of Warcraft on
high priority and it doesn't help. Any other suggestions?
~ Jonathan
P.S. just wanted to mention that I didn't have this problem before the
format and I'm using the same intellitype software as before.

- Windows XP Security >> MS Money PasswordI HAD Windows XP. I got rid of it, and now I have Windows
98. I backed up my money file on the XP machine (which I
no longer have), and want to restore the backup to my
Windows 98. However, the file will not open without a
password? I never set a password for the file, for
Windows XP, or any other program I was using on the XP.
It was the Home Edition. What is the file looking for?
If a password never existed for the file, what does it
want me to type? Was there a password for administrator
put into Win XP automatically?

- Windows XP Network >> XP Pro ignoring WINS, NetBIOS naming, won't see networkI have an odd problem, hope someone knows what to do. Basically I can't get
the XP system to use any kind of name resolution on local network.
I have an existing network with:
1 NT4/SP6a PDC (all security patches)
1 W2K/SP4 Pro
1 Suse Linux
1 XP Pro/SP1a
I had to restore the NT4 system from an old image, the image was created
before the XP Pro computer had joined the domain. I was able to recreate the
COMPUTER NAME for the W2K system. The W2K system can log in and see shares
in Network Neighborhood on the NT4 server. The Linux box is running Samba
and can access shares on the W2K and NT4 systems.
However, I can't get the XP system to play with the other computers. I
created the COMPUTER ACCOUNT in server Manager in NT4 for the XP system. I
logged in as administrator on the XP system, changed from Domain to
Workgroup, restarted. I logged in again as administrator, and attempted to
join the domain. I got a message that the Domain Controller cannot be found.
I then discover that:
1) I can't ping using NAME
2) I can ping all systems using IP
3) I can access Internet through the MS Proxy 2 on the NT4 PDC.
I am using DHCP on the XP system. It is getting the IP, WINS, DNS info, it
shows up in ipconfig /all. I have NetBIOS enabled over TCP/IP. (I tried all
3 options in my desperation, though the default should work) I tried setting
the NetBIOS node type to 0x4, and 0x8. Although the XP system is creating
entries in the WINS database, it will not find any other system using
broadcast OR WINS. If I add entry in LMHOSTS.SAM or HOSTS file, I can then
PING by NAME. But, I can't see network at all. I have tried connecting via
\\servername and \\serverip . I get message 'Network path cannot be found'
I don't remember having this much trouble when I set up XP with the NT4 PDC
before.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP >> Computer change and Windows XP ActivationHello,
I recently swapped-out a variety of components on the
computer I built a couple months ago due to quality
problems with the original components. As a result, I
had to reinstall Windows XP using the same OEM license I
purchased when I originally bought the components to
build the computer.
When I attempted to install and reactivate the XP
installation, I received an error message that stated
that I was exceeding the licensed number of
installations. Obviously, MSFT thinks I am trying to
defraud them but I cannot find any resource on MSFT.com
that will help me correct this situation.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks a million.
