- Windows XP >> Windows Update ErrorEverytime I try to get this new service pack it says my

- Windows XP Support >> My "D" Drive has been removedHi,

help:)

- Windows XP Network >> VoIP Mac AddressesI recently purchased a Linksys PAP2 phone adapter but cannot get it to work
through my Linksys WRT54GS router. I ensured a good ISP interface with both
of my wireless PCs (encrypted) also using the router.
When I activated the service I don't recall entering the MAC address but the
voice response menu verifies the correct address if I enter the code but that
may be just info stored within the phone adapter unit itself and not coming
from the Vonage site.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I also tried entering the port
ranges on the Linksys site but still no joy. So far, Vonage has not been
much help but I can tell I'll need to spend more time working this issue with
them.
As a side note, my Linksys 802.11 a+g network adapters came up first go
around and continues to operate like a champ!!

- Windows XP Security >> Security/Sharing in WinXP Pro - only basicHi all,
I am using WinXP pro, all patched up.
How can I set the security/sharing sections for folders to advanced mode? I
cant edit any share permissions or folder security?
I am used to win2k where I can edit all settings for folders, not forced to
a 'basic' mode.
Also, in control panel - Users, I'm stuck in 'basic' mode. I cant edit the
users nicely, I have to stick to XP's basic options.
Any help is much appreciated!!!

Windows XP Setup >> Pentium 3 533 Mhz
What are your needs? If you are not into heavy gaming or heavy photo editing
then you will have little problem with XP on a PIII 533. Make certain you
have at least 256 MB RAM and it should run nicely to surf the net, e-mail,
wordprocess, and do other basic computing tasks. Turn off the eye candy
through System Properties->Advanced Tab->Performance settings. And disable
Indexing through the Hard Drive->Properties->uncheck indexing.
People will tell you that it will run slowly but that is in direct
proportion to what their needs and expectations are. I have a P4, 2.6GHz
with 1GB DDR 400 PC-3200. There are people who will tell you that XP runs
slowly on my system ;-)

LOL! If someone stated that your system is slow (though it isn't far =
away from being that of the fastest RAM available), I would say they are =
nuts! I have a P4 3.4HT, 2gs of PC 4000 DDR SDRAM, ASUS MOBO with 5 IDE, =
and 2 SATA channels, 1-1394a port along with two 120g SATA HDDs with a =

It takes at least 2 eye blinks to load most apps and some people might like
to only blink once. I guess my point is that no matter what your system
specs are there is someone who will see it as being too slow.

True! Maybe we should (re)demonstrate to those who are never satisfied, =
the days of the 8086 processor with 64kRAM :-)

- Windows XP Network >> domain and workgroupsI, too, need to access a domain network at work and a workgroup
network at home. Here's what happens: to join the domain at work I
have to go into mycomputer properties, computer name and choose the
"domain" option. Once I am part of that domain, when I get home, my
laptop no longer sees the workgroups at home. If I go back and change
mycomputer name from "domain" to workgroups, then I can see them, but
then when I go back to work I have to get the network adminsitrator to
joint me to the work domain all over again. How can I have both?
Many thanks,

- Windows XP Hardware >> Serious burning issuesI am having a big problem and I desperately need your
help. I am unable to burn a cd anywhere in my house. I
have 2 computers in my house. I thought it might have
just been the burner of the first computer when it didnt
work, but now I have moved to my second PC, and nothing
will burn on it either. So I have tried 2 computers, 3
different burners, 3 different cd burning softwares,
(nero, easy cd creator 5.3.5 platinum, and nti), tried
different files and different burning speeds, even the
lowest speed on all drives. I even tried 3 different
kind of cd media in case that was the problem. This
started all a sudden, please I have no idea what the heck
it could be. I have XP Pro on both machines, and they
are not networked in any way. Also, I've tried Music and
Data, and nothing works. One of my systems is P4 2.4,
768 Ram, 40Gb hard drive, so I dont think that's the
problem. Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

Windows XP Home Edition
3.02 gig Intel Pentium 4
1024 Megabytes Installed Memory
120 Gigabytes Hard Drive
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
The problem is while any audio is playing, from any program, any of the keys
that are pressed on the keyboard interfere with the sound causing it to
break up, and if I'm playing a game then game play is effected as well. The
game will pause or run very slow while any key is pressed on the keyboard.
Everything runs fine as long as I'm not using the keyboard. I've tried using
different keyboards with no luck. Could someone please advise me on how to
fix this problem.
Much Obliged
