- customize >> xp style is goneOk, I've tried almost everything what I found here, browsed through
all these (and similar) ''No Windows XP Style Appearance'' topics ,and
tried suggested solutions, read most of kellyscorner and downloaded
stuff- but still no xp style for my windows and buttons.
My start menu is ''shaped'' in xp style, but start icon is not, also ,
all windows and buttons are in classical style.
When I click on desktop >properties>themes>windows xp....it just changes
my desktop picture, but the rest of it stays the same, when I click
desktop >properties>appearance> ....there is no windows xp style.Now
there's no classical2!Windows and buttons are grayed
p.s.One question-should this box be checked, when I run
services.msc ,under Themes>properties>log on>allow service to interact
with desktop?does this has to do with it?
Please, is there solution, I really want my xp style back.
Thanx in advance.

- Windows XP >> Is there a utility for backing up all data including Favorites, Address book, & email in preparation for new C harddisk.I received a message at boot time that the Dell Disk Monitor noticed that
"my hard disk is operating outside the normal specifications, and it is
advisable to immediately back up all data and replace my hard drive."
Is there a utility for backing up all data including favorites, address
book, and email folders. I believe I read about one in a Microsoft
Newsletter sometime in the past year. Actually, I believe I have backed up
just about all data except the Explorer Favorites and Outlook email folders
and I don't know how to find them. If there is a utility available, maybe
it might back up these and some other folders I have forgotten.
Also, is there a way to backup XP and all programs for restore on a new hard
drive? I don't believe the XP Backup facility will do that.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> the tweak ui "New" tab disappeared!Hi.
Strangely, the "New" tab is no longer available when I open the TweakUI...
I tried to uninstall the app using "Add/Remove programs", but it says that
it was already uninstalled - so I removed its entry from "Add/Remove
programs". After this I just deleted the .CPL entry from C:\WINDOWS\system32,
and made a search to remove all the files named "tweakui" from the computer.
I cleaned the registry with a specific program and re-booted.
Then I re-installed TweakUI, but the problem persists: the tab "New" is gone.
Am I missing something?
This trouble is annoying, because there are some filetypes that I can't
create anymore from right click -> new, and I can't edit this setting anymore.
Can someone please help?
Thanks is advance!

- Windows XP >> Problems deleteing items from the recycle binHi,
Whenever i try to delete everything from my bin it tells
me one of the files is "in use by another program" (no
other programs are open). The only way i can delete the
contents of the bin is to delete the files in small
portions (which takes forever). Is there a fix for this
problem or do i have to reduce the capacity of the bin?
cheers,

- Windows XP Support >> can't access IE without Norton firewall shut offHi,
yesterday I've downloaded Skype, and after installing it, I couldn't access

personal firewall, I can access the internet.
Now, how can i access the internet with my Norton Pers. firewall active? I
always have it on, and all of the sudden it doesn't work anymore??
If you can help, please do so...

- Windows XP Hardware >> Monitor turning stand-byHi,
I was using my PC, this morning, and the monitor turned standy by for
some seconds and then turned on again on its own but no picture was
visible. To view something on my screen I had to reboot my machine.
This problem occured to me twice a couple of months ago, and using a
different monitor. Also when this occured in the previous months, it
only occured a couple of minutes after I switched the pc, then I would
reboot it and leave running for about 10hrs and no problem occurs.
What could the problem caused by, monitor, graphics card, motherboard,
or something else.
Can someone help me out
Thanks in Advance

- Windows XP Update >> Internet Explorer automatically opens Windows Update siteWe have seen a few instances with XP where a user runs IE, and instead of
getting their normal homepage, the Windows Update site opens. We have
Automatic Updates turned off by Domain Group Policy, and the PC settings
indicate that they are indeed turned off. If the user clicks on their
homepage menu button, they go to their correct homepage. This odd IE
behavior may or may not return the next time they run it.

- Windows XP Network >> Connects to Internet... But Cannot Ping, Browse, etc.I'm able to establish a connection to my ISP using a dial-
up w/ internal modem. However, I can't seem to take any
outgoing actions (ping, browse web, etc). For example,
ping 'cannot establish connection' and IE 6 gives me a DNS
error. Considering all was fine before upgrading (and
suggested patches), I'm not entirely sure where to start
looking. Any suggestions?
thanks.

- Windows XP Setup >> XP repairI have been trying to repair XP booting up from the Windows CD. First time
round, it appeared to work, except that the computer froze up after a few
minutes. I tried to repair again, and now find that it gets stuck. It
completes 'copying files to the Windows Installation', restarts, goes through
the first stage of Windows start-up. The screen goes blank, and then it
stops. I have left it overnight with no success. I now have effectively a
dead computer. Help!

Windows XP >> Default Monitor Disabled
I have foolishly disabled the "Default Monitor" in XP
(using the system device in Control panel). This means
that my screen goes blank after the initial start-up
screen -- and I am unable to do anything!
I do have a second drive with a old XP which I was
migrating from so I can still get into the system, but I
what do I change? [Can I reset this setting?]
Hope some one can help
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Registry issuesLast night, I was very low on disk space. I decided to delete some programs
that I didn't need anymore. Through control panel, I deleted things like .net
framework, a music program, quicktime, and some other things. I noticed at
one point my desktop do some kind of motion, but I ignored it. I restarted my
computer and logged back on to find I couldn't use the internet explorer
button and it was missing and some other shortcuts. I did a system restore
and I was able to get them back.
I updated a few programs on my computer that needed to be upgraded. I tried
to download Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and the flash player 9, photoshop trial and I
kept have registry problems. I downloaded some registry cleaners to try, and
it helped solve another problem I had prior to this with a pestrap situation.
But it didn't help my installation problems. Now, certain things I can't
install because of a HKEY problem. I tried to delete the value/key, but it
wont let me and some keys it cannot open. I installed Windows OneLive Care to
see if it could clean up any viruses etc.. and it hasn't helped and now I
can't delete it. I keep clicking remove and nothing happens. And now when I
use the internet, some images don't display.
What can I do?

Many thanks for any help.

- Windows XP Security >> XP Sp2 questionI have to install Xp SP2 in our clients.
I have to make sure that settings are there such as ICMP should be allowed,

Is there a way to predefine these settings so I'm sure I got standard
settings for all.
Thank you

- Windows XP Setup >> Opening FoldersOn my laptop when I try to open folders instead of them opening up I get a
search box. For example, when I double click "My Computer" it shows me what
is on my computer, but when I double click "Local Disk (C:)" I get the
typical search window instead of a list of what's on my hard drive. When I
right click Local Disk (C:) I get a list of options. I noticed the first
option is "Search" instead of "Open". So I have to right click every time
and scroll down to open. The crazy thing is it didn't always do this. But I
don't know what I could have done to cause this and I can't figure out how to
fix it. I have a Toshiba Laptop with some proprietary controls and programs
running XP Home Edition.

- Windows XP Setup >> Example of PrinUIEntry use requiredI'm attempting to script the installation of network printers remote for
Windows XP and have succeeded in remotely installing printer for local
printer ports.
However I can not get the same commands to work for attaching network
printers.
I have followed the instrcutions in the help file "rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?"
But there are no examples for "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in" which
is supposed to be the command to "add network printer connection" but I'm
not bright enough to figure it out without an example.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

- Windows XP Security >> No Security Events showing....I have a Win 2000 server running as a DC with AD.
In the event viewer there are no events in the Security Log folder. There
are events in all the other folders. Is there a reason this would be empty?
It looks like it's configured like the rest of the Events.
Am I missing something obvious here?

- Windows XP Network >> Keep losing network gateway settingI am running a "windows xp" PC with 2 network cards. 1 connecting to a
192.168 network and 1 connecting to a 10.232 network. Both have
gateways which supply external intranets and internet, one of them thru
a proxi server.
All is well, except one of the gateways keeps clearing itself. If I do
an IPCONFIG, it has gone, but it's still there in the settings. If I do
a repair, it all fires up again and reappears in the IPCONFIG.
Any kind soul who can help please?
Thanks!
