- Windows XP >> 2 windows systems on one machineI'd like to have 2 windows systems on the same machine: one reasonably
trusted, and another not as trusted. I'll use the other one to try
software that is not guaranteed to be badware-free, like freeware from
the net.
One problem is I can't figure out how I can mask the first system from
the second at boot time. That is, if I boot the untrusted system, I
don't want it to be able to access the partitions containing the
trusted sytem.
Another problem has to do with Windows registration. I own two Windows
XP Pro licenses (The hardware I wanted came with XP pro only). However,
if this is at all possible, I'd like to avoid the hassle of setting up
two systems. What I'd like to do, ideally, is the following:
1. make two primary paritions
2. install Windows XP pro on partition number 1.
3. install Windows updates, Adobe and other software I definitely need
often
4. register
5. Clone the whole system to the second partition somehow (perhaps
using UNIX `dd`)
6. choose which system to boot and which to HIDE (first question)
Any suggestions as to how this could be done? Will Windows XP complain
that it's a "clone" if I do the above?
Hiding one partition from another is pretty important. Other things I
can live without.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Security >> Java Byte Verify virusI recently (stupidly) downloaded a few .exe files via a filesharing internet
program and I seem to have picked up the above. AVG antivirus detects it but
I can't delete it - it says it is an 'infected embedded object'?
I started the PC this morning and it halted itself with a message (can't
remember full details) saying something was trying to 'write to read only
memory'?? From my limited knowledge this sounds like a virus. I reset the PC
and it started OK.
Can anyone help me get rid of this one?

- Windows XP Basic >> How do I erase run dropdown entries?I need to erase the past entries in the "run" dialog box. I did it once
before,accidentally, on a limited account when I was resetting some defaults,
but I don't remember how. I am trying to prevent a limited user from
accessing the registry editor. I tried entering "regedit" in his run box to
see whether he had access. He did. It is my understanding that he can't
actually edit, but i don't want to go so far as to try that to see whether it
works. Now that I typed the command into the "run" box in his user desktop,
it is always in the drop down box, and I can't erase it. I don't want him to
use it, if he doesn't already know how (and even if he does). He is a student
staying with us, and when he gets back from break, I plan to lay down the law
one more time before telling him he can't use the computer at all, but prefer
not to completely ban him yet.

No this is a public forum responses will be here not
emailed.
Are you receiving any error message on the rebooting?
Have you scanned with antivirus/spyware detctors?
Do you have a firewall?
Have you done all the critical updates?
Could be a driver problem or conflict.
Any error logs in your event viewer?

To check for error message in event viewer, click on control panel , adminstrative tools, event viewer then double click application, see if any then double click system and see if any error messages. If there are no error messages your problem maybe your power supply going bad

I had problems like yours about a year and a half ago. How old is your memory? There is a memory diagnostic program that you can run to see if that is the problem. This is the link to get it http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp , you will have to save it to a floppy and run it after you restart your computer. Hope this can help. It took me about a year of reboots before I found this diagnostic program. It was a lifesaver.

- Windows XP >> Finding subfolders just by typing in the folder name in the main folder ????I have folders named after numbers i.e. 40111. I have a lot of folders named this way in a main folder that contains all these numbered subfolders. I find I can find the correct folder I'm looking for by simply typing the folder name quickly and it will find the correct numbered folder. However If I do not type quickly enough my search ends at the first 3 digts or so.
Is there a way to slow down this serch process until I have had enough time to type in all the numbers to find the correct subfolder? Is the a registry setting that I can adjust

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> leadtek tv tuner card crashes mm2Movie Maker 2
WinXP Home sp2
Winfast TV 2000 Expert (Leadtek)
Hello
The main problem is that when I try to capture from the Leadtek card,
which is listed as the capture device when I click on the capture,
Movie Maker immediately crashes ..
History
Totally cleaned up machine with defrag, clean up etc. Installed sp2.
Everything went fine. Installed a pci firewire card. Works fine -
managed to capture video from Sony camcorder via firewire into mm2.
TV capture card is working fine for viewing but when I try to capture
via mm2, mm2 crashes.
I went to the PapaJohn site - does this apply to this situation ..
"11/10/02 - Microsoft - 99.9% of s-video ports are TV-out ONLY.
Therefore, although you can 'switch' output so that the signal that
used to go to the monitor will go to the camcorder or the TV, it does
not work the other way.
To capture analog video you need a graphics card with VIVO (video in
and video out) capability (look at the ATI All in Wonder ranger) or a
specialized analog capture card such as the Dazzle, Pinnacle or
Hauppage range."
If not - is there any setting I am missing, or is this just one of
those incompatabilities?
Many thanks in advance

I have had a problem with not getting to the internet after uninstalling

are reaching the internet find through this router. I have installed
the winsock fix ran all suggestions by Mcafee support. Tried to
release the ip and it says it can't because it can't find the file. I
have ran the netsh interface reset all and stil cannot renew the ip
using ipconfig /renew.
DHCP TCP/IP BT services do not start and will not start when triggered
says a service dependancy failer but all of the dependent services are
off and can't be started.
I don't want to reinstall xp because the computer came with it preloaded and
no cd's I was informed by the manufacturer that I would have to buy retail

- Windows XP Support >> Volume issues with sounds from the OS onlyHello,
I've been struggling with a problem for a few days now, and am tired of
banging my head against the wall. Hopefully someone here can help.
Sounds played directly by the OS have their volume much too low. This
refers to sounds such as those heard when you launch or shutdown xp. If
I open the control panel and go to the "sounds and audio devices"
application, then select the "sounds" tab, and select any of the sounds
at the bottom ("Asterix", "Critical Stop", etc...) and hit the little
play icon, the sound is still very low. HOWEVER, if I browse directly
to the directory that contains these sound files ("windows\media") and
double click any of them, windows media player will launch and play the
sound at normal volume.
Another example of my issue is the sounds launched during the autoplay
of application / game CDs. Again, if I simply have the cd autoplay,
it's launch sound is much too low, but if I browse to the autoplay
directory and double click on the appropriate .wav file, it sounds at a
normal volume level. Sounds are also too low when I "test direct sound"
from the DXDiag app.
Obviously, my sound card is properly installed, or I would have no
sound at all. Selections in the volume control application are all near
max, and not muted.
As I mentioned previously, it appears that the issue is with the volume
of the sounds only when XP itself is generating them. All is fine when
another application tries to play the same sound files.
For those interested, I'm using a SoundBlasterLive!Value with driver
emu10k1m.sys version 5.12.0001.3300. Speakers are Creative Cambridge
Soundworks FPS (four speakers + sub woofer).
Please help.
Regards,
Joel
