- Windows XP Support >> XP Home and 2GB RAMHello,
I have a client that has been having problems with her machine for many
years now. She finally brought the computer to my shop and I diagnosed the
problem to a faulty bios on the motherboard. I updated this and her
computer was working very well. She decided to upgrade the computer some to
get rid of the MB that she no longer trusted. and I purchased an ASUS
p4s800d-x Socket 478 P4 MB for her along with two new sticks of Kingston
512MB DDR400 RAM. I installed everything and all seemed well except for
some timing issues between the new Kington RAM and the generic DDR400 RAM
she had before. This was fixed with a BIOS tweek for RAM timing on the
ASUS.
The years of trouble she had included hard locks and reboots on an almost
daily basis. After installing the new equipment she began to have reboots
when she left her computer on over night and running a virus check. This
would happen about once a week. It never locked or rebooted while she was
using the system.
I figured that the memory timing may have been the culprit for these new
errors and when we pulled her generic RAM the reboots stopped, but having
only 1GB of RAM and dealing with Photoshop she complained about the system
being slow.
I purchased some new matching Kingston RAM and installed this on ASUS. No
timing issues the board ran smooth and very fast.
She called and said that the computer had rebooted and she was now having a
blue screen error about Windows missing the user file. She had this happen
once before and that was fixed with a repair install of XP. Hopefully a
repair install will fix it again, but my questions are these:
Has anyone seen this issue before or dealt with this motherboard?
Is there a known issue with XP Home and 2GB of RAM?
Thank you,
Jon

- Windows XP Security >> "DCOM Config" is empty !!!Anyone have any idea what would cause the "DCOM Config" node in Component
Services to be empty.
This is an XP SP2 machine. With a LOT of experimentation to debug DCOM
applications. ugh. And I must have broke something.
Everything on the machine seems to be behaving.

- Windows XP >> Windows XP will be around a lot longer than you think!!Dedicated to Justin!
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=242
Over at CNET News, the bold headline reads: No more Windows XP as of 2008.
And the opening line continues the theme: "Starting next year you won't be
able to buy a new PC loaded with Windows XP." A PC World story echoed that
report, noting Microsoft's plans to "discontinue shipments of Windows XP to
OEMs on January 31, 2008." The PC World reporter went out to the web to find
anonymous comments on message boards (apparently this is now a staple of
online journalism) and found this doozy: "[T]ime for enterprises to stock up
on shrink-wrapped copies of XP Pro."

- Windows XP Support >> problem with keyboardwhen i touch my keyboard the cusor freezes, but every thing else still runs,
its just a regular keyboard, it says i need to uninstall and reinstall it but

- Windows XP Security >> Group Policy ProblemRecently I let a close friend look after my house which included my computer
system. I set up enough rights for this person to install games but not to
change any files or settings that could, i thought, drastically modify my
system. I came back and found after deleting his tempory user account that my
group policy settings are missing, could this be a registry hack on my
friends account? or can this change be done remotley?
I would appreciate any help on this matter as I would like to restore some
kind of security/policy on my system.
On loading the GPedit.msc I go to security settings for my system and am
greeted with a dlg box quoting
"The group policy security settings that apply to this machine could not be
determined. The error returned when trying to retrieve these settings from
the local security policy database
(%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb)was: The parameter is incorrect"
The file is in the above said folder and am clueless at what action to take
as re installing XP is a painstaking option.
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Network >> HELP: very strange network problemHello all,
I would like to describe a very strange matter I experienced recently.
First my configuration:
- OS: Windows XP SP1; 2 instances on C: and I:
- Asus Mobo
- P4 2.8
- 1 Gb memory
- onboard Broadcom lan adapter; plugged to Internet modem
- 3com lan card; plugged to laptop
- the onboard and the 3com adapters are in bridge (XP)
Always functioned good.
Until I started XP one day (recently)
The Onboard lan port reported "cable unplugged".
Whatever I tried, I could not get it back to work.
I tried all the obvious; driver renewal, removed driver, also from
BIOS etc
Also tried other cables etc. No success.
Also the other XP instance doesn't work; even restore didn't repair
it.
BUT: when I started the computer with the BartPE CDROM; that's a
booting CDROM that makes XP running from it; no HD required.
Look at (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/).
When I choose to start network support; message "installing network
components"; apllying settings and THERE it worked. I already could
tell because of the light that went on on the port of the adapter. I
could internet and all with it.
What could be wrong?
Anyone can help me with that??
Thanks!

- Windows XP >> DO_NOT_DELETE Folder???Checking to see if anyone can help. I recently installed Windows OneCare
Live and decided not to use it. I used the "Remove Programs" on the Contol
Panel to uninstall it. All went well but when I looked at my external hard
drive I had a folder called "Windows OneCare Backup" consuming about 20+GB.
It also has a "DO_NOT_DELETE" function attached to it that tells you don't
delete this folder or files within. I sure would like to delete that
folder. Can anyone help? ...Lonnie...

Windows XP Setup >> Is it possible??
Hi,
Fdisk only works for FAT/FAT32 partitions, great for WinME, not great for
everything else. WinXP will run on that, but needs NTFS for full security
features. Linux uses ext partitions, something no Win OS can handle. To go
without a third party boot manager, you would have to use a Linux one, GRUB
or LILO, as they can load a Win OS, but no Win OS can load a linux
partition.

Windows XP Setup >> Is it possible??
Hi,
You can do it by doing them in succession, ME, XP, then Linux. Simply use
fdisk to create a primary DOS partition from part of the drive for the ME
install, then format and run setup. You may also want to create a FAT32
"shared" data partition, as this is the only file system that all three
operating systems will work with. Once installed, boot the WinXP CD and use
setup to create an NTFS partition, format and install there. It will see the
ME system and create a dual-boot. Once finished, boot your linux floppy or
CD, run setup. Allow it to create it's own partitions and install. Setup
from most versions will offer to use LILO and create the multiboot.
Me, I use BootIT NG from www.terabyteunlimited.com to multiboot, as I can
choose which partitions to load with each OS installation. It also is useful
as I tend to trash systems during testing, and it has a nice imaging system
that allows me quick recoveries.

- Windows XP Network >> XP networking problem - "could not open http://......"I have 1 PC and 2 laptops networked at home using a wireless network. All are
running XP SP2.
My files are all stored on PC and Laptop 1 can see and share these files ok.
Laptop 2 can see shared c:drive but when opening files , always get the error
"Could not open http://(PCname)/c/(filename)" and then the file opens in the
application. When trying to save back to the PC , i can't.
I can create new files on the PC c drive from my laptop, and I can open and
save non Microsoft files e.g Adobe.
I thought it might be my security settings so I temporarily turned these all
off - no joy.
I get the same error if I browse to the file in Windows explorer and use the
"open with" command as I do if I open directly in the application.
Is there a setting which needs to be changed ?

- Windows XP Network >> remote computer internet access thru office's internet connectionI had configured the host computer in the office with a
dsl connection to have ICS. Its OS is windows xp
professional. I also configured it to receive incoming
connection through dial-up modem from my home laptop with
OS windows xp home edition.
The laptop can connect to the host computer, but, there
is no internet connectivity which is the very purpose in
my configuring the host to receive incoming connection -
the home laptop to have internet access through the
internet connection of the office. But, reading the Help
and Support Center of Windows XP, it say that ICS cannot
be enabled on incoming connections.
So, I asked.
1. Is there an update of windows xp so that ICS can
be enabled for remote client?
2. If this cannot be possible in windows XP, is
there other solution that can be applied? any third party
software that you can suggest?

Well, in the meanwhile I found some additional discussion threads and
was able to individually download and install 2 of the 3 updates.
However, the Windows Installer v.3.1 is not one of them. I have tried
booting in Safe Mode, as well, as when I first tried when booted
normally, I received a message that said Access denied (I am in
administrator mode and have administrator privileges). I received the
same message in Safe Mode.
The number is KB893803v2
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ken K

Well, in the meanwhile I found some additional discussion threads and
was able to individually download and install 2 of the 3 updates.
However, the Windows Installer v.3.1 is not one of them. I have tried
booting in Safe Mode, as well, as when I first tried when booted
normally, I received a message that said Access denied (I am in
administrator mode and have administrator privileges). I received the
same message in Safe Mode.
The number is KB893803v2
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ken K

- Windows XP Network >> can't enable ICF in dial upWhen I open network connections, right click on dial up connection, then click properties I don't get any dialog from which I can enable ICF. I only use dial up and it works okay. If I click properties from the lan and wireless connections which are disabled I do get the properties dialog with the option to enable ICF. I have windows xp home. Appreciate some help.

- Windows XP Support >> Explorer.exe error whenever i right click!PC is HP Pavilion m703, 2.8Ghz Pentium4, 1Gb DDR-SDRAM 333Mhz, 120Gb HD
Whenever i right click on any icons or whenever i try to cut, paste etc the
following error appears
explorer.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x1000a9fb" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
memory could not be written.
click ok and i lose everything bar the background for a second and then it
goes back to the start menu with all applications closed. Works perfectly
until im stupid enough to right click again.
Final thing, i might be wrong but i think this happened while installing
one of the Windows automatic updates.

- Windows XP >> CD-RW will not recognize a blank CD?My CD-RW was working (R&W) days ago. Today I tried to
copy a folder from my C Drive to the CD-R and it did not
recognize the CD-R as being inserted. When I used
Properities it showed the CD-R was 0 available. I tired
over 5 new CD-Rs to no avail. It seems to be working per
Test Results in Systems. Any suggestions? Thanks for your
help in advance.

- Windows XP Security >> window update.I access the following website:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-
026.asp
Then go to start Windows Update. Microsoft scans my
system to evaluate what updates I need. Then it mentioned
only 1 critical update is needed. And I started the
installation. After completed installation, I found all
my microsoft office files attached in my emails (no
matters incoming or outgoing) have been removed. Please
help how can I get those files back.
Best regards

- Windows XP >> Mouse Icon ProblemHello Everybody,
First, I checked out the archives but could find nothing on this particular
problem; thus, I would be grateful for any help on the following problem:
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. I reinstalled a Kensington Wireless
Mouse with accompanying USB receiver. When I moved the receiver to another
port, the mouse icon (please excuse the lack of specific terminology) then
added the following icons < <> > (which are solid black). I have a pencil in
hand icon. Directly underneath it is this black triangle pointing right, a
black diamond, and then a black triangle pointing right. I uninstalled the
kensington drivers and the problem still remains when using the Synaptic
labtop mouse or the Toshiba wired notebook mouse. I 've gone to the Control
panel, mouse pointer tab and even the Device Manager. The mouse works fine
as far as movement, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the additional
icon that moves with the hand. Does anyone know what I might have done
wrong/accidently and how I can correct it. Bonus question: What purpose
does this attached icon serves? Again, thank you for any help you might have

- Windows XP Hardware >> Re: Installed Pioneer DVD R Rw, lost my DVD RomThanks Cari
You are probably correct, Do you know how I can seperate them? I have them linked on the same IDE ( ithinks that's what it is) cable as there is only one slot on the motherboard, the end of the cable is in the DVD Rom and then a second connector is in the DVD R Rw, then a smaller cable goes from the DVD Rom to the motherboard, I think for the sound. should there be another cable from the DVD RW do you think? The power connectors are on the same leads also
on boot up there is only one of them showing as the master and there is no slave
your help is much appreciated
cheers
Chris

Check the jumpers at the rear of the drive... sounds like you have both set
as master or both set as slave.
