- Windows XP >> Desktop larger than window above 1024x768 resolution - Help!I am running XP Home edition on a 1.6 GHz Intel based machine with 512
Meg. The integrated video is an SIS 661FX_M661FX_M661MX with 32 Megs of
memory. When I try to increase video resolution above 1024x768, the
desktop area exceeds the size of the window area and mouse scrolling is
enabled. This is undesirable in some situations. Is there any way to
control the virtual desktop size in XP with regard to screen
resolution?
I have researched all of the usual resources, google more search terms
than I care to remember and found very little information on the
subject. Can anyone here help?
Thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> Updating to SP1 troubleshootingI had to reinstall my OS Windows XP. Now I cannot get the
update for SP1 to install. I've already disabled my anti-
virus software. The online download and installation
didn't work after numerous tries and after hours of
downloading via phone line. I downloaded the networking
SP1 that doesn't require an internet connection. When
installing this SP1 I get this error: "setup cannot copy
file win32k.sys. Ensure location is correct or insert
windows xp service pack 1 source files." I cannot find
any source files for this. The only thing I have from the
download is the .exe file for the installation.
HELP!!!

- Windows XP Setup >> XP Home won't boot...I did a new install of XP Home (upgrade edition) and it
apparently completed with no problems and no errors
generated. The machine fails to boot, however, hanging
up on the XP splash screen. I tried Safe Mode, get the
menu, but booting stops after listing a few dozen file
names.
The install was repeated several times, all with same
result. My final attempt included repartitioning C: and
using the (slow) NTFS formatting option.
I'm out of ideas...

Yes you can hotswap USB devices meaning you don't have to shutdown your
computer first. There might be an icon in the systray to click and then
select the option to stop the device before unplugging.

Yes. Make sure you don't have any folders or programs with anything from the
camera running at the time, or they won't be happy.

- Windows XP Security >> SP2 Firewall-How can admins disable this?Hello,
I'm administering over a hundred machines and need to know
how to disable the Firewall either via a file change or
registry edit.
I've already tried using the netfw.inf file changes with
the netsh firewall reset command (I forget which Microsoft
article this came from but the Word document was
named "wfinf_guide.doc"), without much success.
Any help is appreciated.

- Windows XP Setup >> Can I restrict access to CD write capability?I'm wondering if there is a way for me to control which users have the
capability to write to a CD. I want them to be able to read, but not write.
I need control over the actual CD Drive, not any specific CD. Is there a way
to do this in XP Pro, and if so, how?
I've used a piece of software called DeviceLock in the past, but it has one
glaring flaw: While I can, in theory, allow read but not write via
DeviceLock, if an unauthorized user opens up the EasyCD Creator application,
it just bypasses the DeviceLock controls and lets them create a CD.
Thanks,
Jewels

Thnx in advance.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> errors in movie...My slideshow works great until I finish my movie. Once I try to save it to my

gets stuck on a random picture but the audio still plays. I have saved it and
re-tried several times and it is never the same pics that it happens to?
Please help. This is a graduation movie that parents are waiting to recieve
copies of. It plays great off of my hard drive thru WMM only. I can't seem to

- Windows XP >> XP not allowing share by nameI have 2 XP Pro machines on a home network.
The hub is a Netgear MR814 Wireless router.
In the past I had been able to share files using each machines name but
periodically this ability would go away.
I would correct the situation by using system restore.
However due to some recent software problems I lost all my restore points
and can not go back to using the machine names to address in file sharing.
This was an anyoying process anyway to use SR.
Does anyone know why I would not be able to address the PC's by name and
what I could do to permanently fix the problem?
Here is the status on the system to help diagnose the problem
Network adabpters on both machines have
1 Client for Microsoft Networks
2 File and Print Sharing
3. TCP/IP Protocol
Network adapters on both PCs are set to obtain IP automatically and I have
tried both "Enabling Netbios" and "Default Netbios" settings
Each machine has a unique name and is on the same workgroup
Each machine has a reserved IP address on the router
Each machine has internet access

If I am sending an email, I can go to Tools-select recipients and find the
right address. The address book is set up to sort in order of last name.
But if I simply go to the To: line of the email and start typing, the

How can I get rid of the old list?

- Windows XP Setup >> Help!!!!Hello!
I have a windows XP Professional connected to a NT domain
and I need to enable in the Windows XP the quick logon
feature, I mean the welcome screen with the small icons
representing the users. What I have now is an NT like
login window where you have to ctrl+alt+del and select the
domain and everything. I've tried, logged in as
Administrator, the control panel "users" feature but can
not find anything; it just list the current users and
allows me to add, delete or edit them.
Please help!!!
Thanks in advance!

- Windows XP Network >> Strange issues with e-mail and My Network PlacesI've had a problem develop recently whereby I can
receive, but not send, e-mail... Possibly related is the
fact that I can no longer access any of my ISP locations
via My Network Places or my web authoring application,
Dreamweaver. Both my ISP and web host have verified that
all my mail account settings are correct, and that the
mail servers are operating correctly. I can browse the
web with no problems. The trouble is with e-mail sending
and FTP access only.
Tech details, FYI: Windows XP Professional, accessing the
web via DSL, Linksys router, and Linksys 5-port switch.
Further info... I didn't notice any of these problems
until last week, when I installed the Linksys 5-port
switch to replace an old 4-port hub. But I really can't
see where adding such a component would affect mail
sending and FTP access.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer! Please respond
using the mail address supplied, with NOSPAM removed, of
course!

When logged in with Administrator rights, I have all the

When a user logs in, without Administrator rights, they get

How do I get everyone all the transitions?

- Windows XP Setup >> XP reinstallationI had a RAM module fail, which apparently corrupted my OS
(XP Home).
Working with Dell, I was able to reinstall XP over the
corrupted OS, but none of my programs work. The
technician mention I'd have to reinstall my programs, and
then could retieve my exisiting data on the hard drive.
This is somewhat convoluted, but here goes.....installed
XP Home with a different user name. The original user
data is still "visible" on the hard drive under the "old"
user. Do I really need to reinstall all the programs?
I am having a great deal of difficulty with my Norton
programs as they won't go in.
Any help would be appreciated....thanks
