- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> lost registry file - cannot restore system - help!I, stupidly deleted the wrong registry file and cannot
seem to remedy this situation. Configsys.exe shows up
blank, missing file... same with registry window. I
tried to use system restore to before I did this deletion
but it will not restore - what now? Any suggestions
before I have to re-install my entire operating system?
I was in the registry to get rid of internet installed ad
files.(as per step by step instructions from Norton web
site) Every time I open Internet Explorer I have to wait
about 5 minutes until the pop-ups finish before I can do
anything on line. If I try to continue before all the
pop-ups finish I encounter an error and IE has to shut
down. This is what I tried to fix in the first place!
What gives?

- Windows XP >> Technical problem: computer crash after clean installHi, I have a computer to repair, but I can't figure out what's the problem.
The guy had WinME and installed an "internet accelerator" software (in fact
it was probably a virus). The computer started crashing shortly after that.
I tried installing Win98 from scratch, but it crashes right after setup
reboot!
I tested the RAM with TuffTest, and it appears to be OK. I tested the hard
drive surface with scandisk, and it appears to be OK. Before installing, I
deleted, recreated and formatted the partition. The Win98 setup goes without
any problem. It reboots, shortly after, I get a blue screen. If I try to
reboot, I get all kind of random weird errors, as if the RAM was damaged...
What could be the problem???
Thanks!

- Windows XP Network >> want to GET RID of firewallHey guys, my problem is that I want to get rid of whatever is causing my
computer to act like it's firewalled.
I'm currently studying in Japan and have ADSL in the dorms. It seemed to be
firewalled, but no one else I asked really knew much about it, so I just kind
of accepted it and moved on. But recently one of my friends in Tokyo has
gotten a new internet connection, which her computer works perfectly on and
gets amazing speed. But when I connect, it still seems I am firewalled. Using
PC Flank's scanner (pcflank.com) all my ports are stealthed while hers are
closed.
I am not concerned with security, and just want to get rid of whatever is
causing this. I am using XP Professional and do not have SP2. I have XP's
built in firewall turned off on all my network connections. I have had Norton
Systemworks 2005 installed, but have uninstalled it.. not sure if there could
be lingering settings from that. I have gone into the registry but don't know
what to look for...
Anyways I have done all I can think of. Even gone through and checked every
setting I can find and matched it with the working computer. It's very
frustrating... PLEASE help!

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> browser shutdownsI've been having a lot of browser shutdowns both IE and
Netscape and I don't know why. I've also noticed that my
system time is off. If the battery that's supposed to
keep that current is losing power can it also cause these
shutdowns? Thanks.

- Windows XP >> correcting Outlook Express Errors under XPSymptoms - Outlook Express gives error logging into server
- you know the email server is working and no firewalls are
active - yet still won't connect to server no login error
messages just - "cannot connect to server"
Create a new xp profile - it will make the profile - create
the email account under the new profile in outlook express
- it will work then go back to the original profile and
then retry outlook express - it now works. you can now go
and delete the second profile -
this step seems to scan and repair the files used for
outlook express and worked when sfc /scannow didn't repair
the files can someone explain why.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> How do you totally remove a program from WinXP Pro?I used Norton's Clean Sweep to remove a program from my computer. I went to the file folder and removed the remaining files and folders, then I went to REGEDIT, and went to Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, and deleted the key for the program I wanted to uninstall. I have rebooted, gone to the control panel/add_delete programs, and it still shows in the list of programs, but it does not have an option to remove it. It just says, "Used ocassionally"
When I try to install a new version of the software that I am trying to delete, I get the message that a previous version of this software must be removed before I can install the new version. How do I remove this program from my computer completely?

- Windows XP Support >> windows file protection error after downloading updateshi
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me resolve this. I downloaded
several updates and during the updates I received this Windows File
Protection message. It states that necessary files have been replaced &
that original files need to be restored. It says that the location from
which the files should be copied
C:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386/controls.man is not available. It says to
insert XP KB900725 Source Files. I haven't had any success locating a fix
on MS website.
I have not rebooted since the download. I would appreciate any help on
fixing this if anyone has a solution. THANK YOU

Contact your system administrator. The specific error code is 0x2 at line 2011777033

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows x64 UpgradeI qualify for the upgrade and would like to order it in the good faith that
appropriate 64-bit drivers will eventually be available for my hardware, but
I do not want to commit myself to the upgrade in case they do not. If I
order the upgrade and decide not to use it, will I be allowed to continue to
use my current Windows XP Pro license or will its validity be negated once I
order the upgrade? If the original license remains valid until I activate
the Windows x64 license, I would be very happy to order the upgrade.

- Windows XP Setup >> Registry setting to Auto-Arrange Desktop Icons in XPHi All,
I am currently working on an unattended installation of Windows XP, and was
wondering if anyone knows how to automaticcally set the desktop items to
auto-arrange without having to write an AutoIT or ScriptIT script to enable
the option.
I know that this could be done under the registry change shown below for
Windows 2000 Pro, however this does not work for Windows XP
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DeskVi
ew]
"Settings"=hex:01,00,00,00,21,02,00,00,
Any info, no matter how small it seems, would be appreciated!

- Windows XP Hardware >> network card disabled by unknown software problemHello,
On July 30 the network card of my laptop suddenly did not function anymore.
Reinstalling the drivers did not help. The supplier of my laptop gave me a
new motherboard, with built in network card, but that didn't fix it. They
said it was a software problem and that I needed to reïnstall Windows XP and
build up my whole configuration again. Then I reïnstalled the latest system
recovery point from before the problem started (June 27) and that did fix
it! No problems anymore.
Two weeks ago again my network card stopped functioning. What I can remember
is that I had a software crash while I was travelling (MS Word with MS Visio
openend for a included diagram did not come back from hibernate). When I
came home my network card did not function. I went back to the latest system
recovery point, but that did not help. Then I tried a system recovery point
before that, but to no avail...
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this without a complete reïnstall of
Windows XP and all the software?
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A50. The network card is an Intel(R)
PRO/100 VE.
Thanks for any suggestions,
regards,
Henk Koning

- Windows XP Hardware >> 48Bit LBA QuestionI have an older PC running Windows XP SP2 that does not support 48Bit LBA. I
would like to install a 160GB hard drive as a replacement for two smaller
drives.
If I create a primary partition (15GB) for the OS and an extended partition
containing a number of logical partitions non of which are greater than 30GB
will I run into any problems? I plan to move the existing OS over to the new
drive using Ghost.
