- Windows XP >> Drive mappingsI have a problem with the mapped network drives
disappearing visually from Windows Explore. I'm logged on
to the Network then about an hour or so later, can't find
the mapped network, however can access drives through 'Run'
If I run loggon script again it brings the drives back,
but this is a short term fix because it happens again.
Does anyone have any other solutions?

- Windows XP Support >> Floppy, CD ROM, Zip Drive ProblemsI have Windows XP 5.1 (Service Pack 2) installed on a Genuine Intel PC
with 2.5 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM.
Ever since May of this year, my floppy drive and CD ROM drive will only
work in Safe Mode. In regular mode, I get the message that the floppy
or CD are not formatted (although they are and can be read in Safe Mode
or in regular mode on my other PC). I get the same problem with my
Iomega Zip drive (although it doesn't seem to run in Safe Mode). I
tried to do a system restore but, for some reason, my system restore
points only go back to August. I guess it wasn't setting restore points
before that. There may have been a virus on the computer when the
problem first arose (in May) but we have been cleaning the the computer
with Spybot, AVG and AdAware since then and they have not found
anything lately although I always keep them up to date.
I also tried reistalling the Iomega driver but, while the
reinstallation ran without errors, it had no effect.
I noticed that an earlier poster to this group resolved the problem by
uninstalling !Conflicts in the System Devices section of the Device
Manager. I searched this section and did not find any !Conflicts.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Peter.

- Windows XP Network >> file sharing problemI have 2 machines running xp pro w/ sp2. They are connected through a
router. They used to share files just fine. Now machine 1 can access
machine 2, but machine 2 cannot access machine 1, although machine 2
occasionally "knows" machine 1 is there, it says it's not accessable. I'm
not sure if the problem began before or after I installed sp2.
I tried uninstalling sp2 from machine 1, and initially everything worked
until I rebooted - then same old thing. I have since re-installed sp2.
machine 1 runs mcafee firewall, and machine 2 runs norton internet security.
Both firewalls have the most recent updates, and are configured to use home
networking. Disabling them does not help.
Neither machine has problems accessing the internet.

- Windows XP Basic >> can't boot in safe modeHi
Can someone help? I want to boot my pc in safe mode but each time I get to
the safe mode screen I am unable to move my cursor to select safe mode. It
seems to stick. Does anyone know what is causing this? It has been like this
for as long as I can remember.
Perhaps there is another way of getting to safe mode. I am running windows
xp home and tapping the F8 key repeatedly.

- Windows XP >> Registration and legalitiesI will be getting another computer shortly, (w/ NO O.S.)
and want to install XP PRO. I have many questions.
1)What to buy?...I see OEM, full oem, full retail. What
is the pro and cons for using or buying each? Which is
better?
2)Is a "full oem" version the same software as a full
retail?
3)Can I put XP on my new comp and then again on a third
one that I plan to buy a month later?
4)What is all the hype about registering. Can I install
and use the full software without registering w/Microsoft?
5)Can you still do live update without registering?
6)If I'm not allowed to use it on more than one computer,
that's fine, but how will they know? I ask this not so
much to use one copy for a million computers but in
curiosity on HOW Microsoft would KNOW...are they allowed
or have ways where they look into your computer (snoop)
and "verify" things??
7)If I buy a copy from EBAY or somewhere, what happens if
they lied about it not being registered. A friend told me
that it wouldn't matter as long as I just use it without
registering it. Is that true. How can I know if I have a
legal copy without necessarily letting Microsoft know
which copy I have?
8)If I want to also install Office pro 2003 do I need to
buy 3 copies for 3 home computers? That would be $1500
and seems a bit much (to put it nicely) for one poor soul
to put it on all his personal computers.

- Windows XP >> error message 808:qqtask.exe. - No DiskWhenever I boot up my computer a window pops up that
states:
808:qttask.ex.-No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into
drive /Device/Harddisk2\DR5
However, I have no new devices or harddrives. When I
search device manager I do find an unrecognized device in
the category of network adaptors. I have two network
interface cards on my computer that are working, but
there is no third network card. In any case the
unidentified device is disabled and cannot be
uninstalled. Any advice?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Smart card reader brings winxp pro to a crawlWhen I plug in a USB card reader the cpu becomes utilised
100%. Everything is slowed e.g. start menu takes a minute
or two to pop up. This doesn't happen with other USB
devices. It's a gigabyte MB GA-7VA and AMD 2400+ CPU. In
the processes box it only shows system idle using CPU so
it's got me stumped. Tried a different model card reader
and got same result. I think windows is having trouble
allocating a drive letter but I wouldn't know where to
bein trouble-shooting this.
Thanks in advance for your help

- Windows XP Hardware >> Sound cardsHi
My speakers are not working although they are connected. On investigation
the help and support is saying the sound card is not connected/installed?
This has been working okay up until a day ago. We have been running virus
scan's due to the computer being slow, also removing unwanted programmes and
I am now wondering if we have deactivated the sound card by mistake. How do I
reinstall the sound card. Help required please.
Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> Sharing Problem in XP media CenterHi, I facing the sharing problem for the last weak. In
my home there are three PCs connected to each other via HUB. In my
server there are two partitions namely C & D. Recently I installed
winXP media center on my C drive. I have two lan cards, one for local
lan & other for static IP given by my ISP. I am using 192.168.0.1, 0.2
& 0.3 (private IP)in all the three pcs. All the PCs are able to ping
each other, even as yahoo IP, but whenever I tried to open any website
in address bar I get the messege that "page cann't be dispalyed" in
remaining two pcs except my server. When I typed the yahoo IP in
address bar It opened on my client machine.
So being disappointed I installed windows server 2003 on my D
partition, When I boot my PC in 2003 server Internet started working in
all the pcs, but not in media center.
Please solve my problem.

- Windows XP >> Printer installs in safe modeHi
My HP3250 printer stopped printing suddenly. the job was left in the print
job. I deleted the printer and now when I plug in the usb cable XP starts to
auto install the HP3340 not 3250, I only have the 3250 connected and never
had another printer in the 3*** range ,printer and stops to say the printer
not installed properly . I have used the proper disk . If I try installing
it from the cd nothing happens. Another strange thing I noticed is that when
i startup in SAFE Mode a message appears saying the printer cannot be
installed. I also noticed the .EXE icons on the CD look like the old dos
icons and don't have the 'engine' icon.
I have the latest anti virus installed - no viruses
Pls help
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Access Problem related 'Security?'Hi:
There are three computers in my household.
One of my family members needs to put his 'time-card' from the home.
Because his office does not allow him to do this from his field office where
he's working.
The site he needs is 'high-security' web-site to 'log-in' by using a
specific
code. However, he is NOT able to access this site even many attempts,
"except'
one computer. The other, two computers failed to open up the site.
In my recollection, before DSL failed installation, this, 'log-in' problem
NEVER
occurred. Only afterwards, the problem started.
Also, this scenerio/problem occurrring on eBay site, particularly 'Pay-Pal'
to make
financial transaction.
Wonder whether this is something related to 'Securty' or 'DSL' changed some
of configuration
although I 'removed' all of DSL installation by using Add/Remove.
Any idea on this problem would be truly appreciated.

My drives consist of 3 SCSI 36 GB in RAID-0 on an Adaptec controller card as

While, at first glance, you'd think the error is referring to Drive D:, I
cannot find the exact name, \Device\Harddisk2\D, listed anywhere in Device
Manager, System Information, so...am not sure WHICH drive is giving the
problem.
I've reseated everything that's removable, and, changed the SCSI and IDE
cables, but, still get the message.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

- Windows XP >> Won't remember Explorer window size...27-Feb-06
Won't remember Explorer window size [Win XP General]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Win XP Pro, V. 2002, SP II; FAT 32; Celeron-2.56 GHz; 256 MB RAM]
Have looked thru most of the relevant posts by now for simple solution to
this
issue but so far did not find anything 100% conclusive. So forgive my
skepticism
and repetitiveness. Perhaps the various MVP's devoting their time to this
issue
have by now come to a collective conclusion as to a simple one-fits-all
solution.
If you are fairly certain that one of your previous solutions is AOK (when
correctly applied, of course), please just refer me to that post. No need to
waste your time on another detailed answer. I know you have better things to
do.
Here goes:
-----------------------------------
Of late, after boot and when clicking Explorer icon on DeskTop anytime
thereafter,
Win Explorer directory windows keep coming up in 'midsize' configuration
(like I
want them to, because need 2 windows side by side on DeskTop) - except that
the
actual size nowadays is almost exactly as large as in 'maximized' view (full
screen).
I would like Explorer to remember to come up w/ half-size windows.
Don't recall messing w/ the 'Folder Options' (if that's anything to do with
it).
Did use 'Disk Cleanup' recently - which is why maybe now in I/E, when I
click on
the down arrow to right of Address bar, no history comes up in Address
window -
even after I first visited some sites. However, it does come up when I start
typing in it. Didn't change any 'Internet options' either.
Is there a way (like in some ".ini" file, in old days) to program Explorer
to come up
w/ exact size window I want everytime I click on it; or some switch I can
use(similar to the 'properties' command: "Explorer.exe /e", which causes it
to open at "C:\" )?
----------------------------------------
In an aside...
There are other, minor lingering as well as new oddities cropping up with
both
Windows and Word. Not sure whether this has anything to do w/ the issue at
hand.
The new ones started to appear after power supply replacement - though basic
output voltages measure within specified tolerances.
It's difficult to remember all of the annoyances now, as they are not v.
serious -
yet. For example, this morning there was an auto-reboot and subsequent
Scandisk as I ejected a CD while opening a file elsewhere (this particular CD
tray likes to
pop out on its own a few times in a row on occasion, until it finally gets
the
message to stay put. This sometimes happens when I put in a CD).
Yesterday eve, with no one on our small home net, except me, I temp lost a
web
page I was reading on line (temporarily got "This page cannot be displayed")
which
automatically returned after about 15 seconds. Never, ever, in all my years
and
non-stop daily errors, hangups, net problems, etc., on a variety of systems
and
Win OS versions - did I ever see that one before. Of course, this is my 1st
time on a home network.
Response, too, is often frustratingly slow, as if it was rummaging its
memory for
options, before deciding to respond to a click of the mouse. There were
other,
more irritating little incidents than those noted, in the past. I've got the
processor temperature trigger point set at 50 degrees C.
Thanx in advance,
Ted...

- Windows XP Update >> sp2 svchost and wuauclt.exe 100%cpuHi,
I have a strange problem, I recently upgraded to sp2 on a xp pro machine.
Since then my cpu usage keeps oscillating between 100% and 0. Exactly like a
clock pulse. I used process explorer(www.sysinternals.com) and found svchost
to be the culprit. Also there wuauclt.exe is shown as a child process to that
particular instance of svchost. On suspending wuauclt.exe, everything goes
back to normal. Any ideas??? Unfortunately, I cannot disable automatic
updates because of a program called cisco clean access agent which my
provider uses to check if all computers are up to date.
Any inputs would be great..
