- Windows XP >> History listsIf you right-click on the desktop and select New-
>Shortcut, a "Create Shortcut" wizard pops open. There is
a dialog box under the text "Type the location of the
item:", and the cursor is in the box. If you type a
letter, say, starting with a and going through z,
occasionally some information will appear in a dropdown
list (if I type 'g', it lists several Google URLs). My
question is where is this list maintained and how do I
clear it?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Support >> Unable to add local printerI have an XP laptop with all updates. I can add network printers, however,
my nephew is taking the machine to college with him, and would like a local
printer. When I try to add a local printer attached to this computer,
unchecked p&p, select using following port LPT1, then instead of a list of
printers, there is a message in the box that says unable to find any drivers
for this device (and of course there is nothing listed). I replaced the
drivers.cab from another system that works (gives a list of printers), same
thing. Not sure where to go next, and I really don't want to
reinstall....does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> Setup stops with a bluescreenI tried to install WIn XP Pro. WHen the system restarted
to continue setup I got this message.
Windows logon process system process terminated
unexpectedly witha a status of 0x00000080 (0x00000000
0x00000000) The system has been shut down.
I have tried botting from CD to repair installation but
computer seems to continue booting from harddisk (is this
because system thinks WIndows is installed?

- Windows XP Update >> GetUserTokenFromSessionId failed with hr 0x800704ddThis is the first error in the log. Symptom: Updates download but fail to
install. Each one can be manually downloaded and installed, but that is no
permanent solution. I did extensive research on this issue. Lots of people
complaining, a number of solutions offered, none of them worked for me or for
almost anyone else.
This is on a friend's computer, Windows XP Home Edition. It had a lot of
malware, which I cleaned manually. (The computer is clean according to
SpyBot-S&D and security.symantec.com.) Now everything appears to be working
fine except the WU feature. Maybe there is some remaining corruption in the
system. Installing SP2 didn't help (neither did sfc/scannow). Unfortunately,
I don't have the Windows installation CD to do Repair. That would be my last
resort.
Here is an incidental finding, which might provide a clue to someone else:
Knowing that errors are often misreported, I tried running RegMon and FileMon
with hopes of seeing where actually the error occurs. However, these tools
fail to start, with an error like "Error loading REGMON70: Cannot create a
file when that file already exists. Make sure that your account has the load
driver privilege and
and that Regmon is not already running." I suspect the actual error is
misreported in this case too (ironically), but there is perhaps some
connection with the WU error since they are both security-related.
Following is the relevant snippet of the WU log:
2005-04-08 11:08:33-0500 996 510 WU client executing call
{32BABD7F-BBCF-4E27-BD35-51C2D6221408} of type Install call

2005-04-08 11:08:34-0500 996 510 WU client calls back to install call
{32BABD7F-BBCF-4E27-BD35-51C2D6221408} with code Call failed and error
0x80240020
Anyone, any idea?

- Windows XP Security >> KB835732 Security UpdateI've been looking everywhere for how to stop this pesky
critical update from refusing to recognise that it's
already been installed (umpteen times!) to my XP home SP1
system. I thought the problem had gone away, but it's back
again today - the auto update icon's even refusing to
close at the moment.
Can anyone help, please?

- Windows XP >> Recovery of product key in unbootable WindowsI have a Dell machine that has a dead Windows. The drive is still good. I
can boot from a CD and see all the data on it. Obviously I need to reinstall
Windows from scratch using a generic OEM Windows XP CD, but I need to get
the key from the dead Windows. (The sticker with the key on the Dell is
missing.) So how can I recover the key from this dead Windows XP?

many desktops in my site have this problem from a week.
Each time users restart their desktop or laptop. Startup folder gets empty.
We have not made any changes in the GPO.
Have anyone come across such a problem or does any one have a solution?
Thanks in Advance

- Windows XP Hardware >> 1394 Device (Hard Drive) Stop Working as Second DeviceWindows XP Home Edition. I have one 1394-2000 standard DVD firewire device,
and when I added previously working Maxtor 1394 160GB drive with 1394-1995
Std, the Maxtor Drive stopped working. I found MS article 894956 stating this
is a confirmed problem. However, the workarounds (either disabling
controller and then enabling or turn off power on Maxtor) doesn't bring the
Maxtor to life. I have 80 GB of stuff that I need to retrieve.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions on methodology or procedures.

- Windows XP >> Windows Explorer CrashesWhenever I open Windows Explorer and right click
on "properties" for my main disk "C" (40 GBytes) the
program crashes and then reloads. Sometimes it happens at
once, other times it takes a few seconds.
It ALWAYS happens:
- even after I do a diagnostic clean boot
- even after I have reinstalled windows from the CD
- even when I use Powerdesk instead of Explorer
- even after I have fully checked the disk with Norton
DD.
It does NOT happen:
- on my Disk D which is an external USB hard disk
- on any single or multiple directory within disk C
- on "My computer"
- on "My desktop"
I am running XP pro on a Toshiba 2435 laptop with 512 Mb
of memory and plenty of disk space. I've installed all
microsoft updates.
Has anyone else ever had a problem like this, or have a
suggestion of what else to try?
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Screen lines/errorsMy Screen just started displaying vertical and moving green & colored lines.
They're spaced a couple inches apart. It does not seem to be the monitor
because it's worked fine and is brand new.
You can get the lines to disappear momentarily when you close and refresh
any program window but then they come back, help! Thanks in advance, Erin
ps. I'm running XP home edition and have tried running the disk check but
that's all i know how to do.

- Windows XP Network >> After shutdown modem and router ethernet remain open....Hi everyone,
I got 2 computers, 1 router, 1 modem, (wired connection) all connected and
up running... But here's where things differ. When I turn off both computers,
my XP computer ethernet connection and router light remain on. But, on my
Windows 98 computer the router light for it's ethernet cable turns off. It's
like it has an open connection running that needs to be turned off on the XP.
For example... sometimes I left my msn messenger service on and turned off
the computer... i'd have 3 lights on the modem... i'd have to turn on the
computer and turn off the msn service and then shut down the computer again.
Then I would only have 2 lights instead of 3 showing on the modem... before
adding the router and extra computer... I also noticed it only did it thru
the ethernet connection and not the USB connection to the modem. Modem is
dual connection... router of course is only ethernet connections only. So
hooking it up that way is out...
So where do I start to look for something that should be off but remains
active even when the computers turned off. And can my computer be accessed
because the lines are open? Is it safe to leave it this way? The Modem has a
Power light and ready light that remain on at all times... and the light that
turns off if computer is turned off for either USB or Ethernet cable is
remaining on. The router has a power light, internet light that remain on and
2 lights for the 2 ports which are active when computers are on... but 1
remains on for XP when both computers are off. Understand... I hope so... LOL
I had a modem that went bad and locked up my phone lines for a week... Never
checked the computer because it was turned off and with the phone down I
didn't need to get on it.. I never thought my modem would be active even when
computer was off and cause me so much trouble. That's why I'm concerned, I
have DSL and it's always on, don't need anyone accessing my computer even
when it's off or in my case appears off but not. Thanks...

- Windows XP >> software issue on startI just transferred & installed zonealarm pro from my old computor to my new
computor. When I tried to access the internet a popup said that there was a
problem. so I restarted my computor and now after the desktop appears and as
soon as the zonealarm icon appears at the startup the computor shuts back
down to bootup again. What can I do to quickly stop the zonealarm app from
starting up. Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated also.
