- Windows XP Support >> fuzzy monitor displayI'm using a Dell desktop and flat screen with Windows XP. My monitor
recently has developed a problem, however it doesn't seem to be a hardware
issue with the monitor. The display will become fuzzy/blurry and make it
very difficult to look at for any period of time. It does this on itself at
random occassion. I have not been able to pinpoint a way to fix this.
Sometimes it fixes itself, other times I can make it stop when I go into
Control Panel -> Dislplay -> and then change the theme (other times this does
not work). Anyone have any idea of what is happening and why?? Anyway to
stop this from occuring?? Any help is appreciated!!

- Windows XP Network >> Network 2000 server, XP pro, and XP home - workgroupHi:
This is my situation:
I've four systems as follow: (A) One PC server with
Windows 2000 server, (B) One desktop PC and a notebook,
each with XP Professional and both joined the domain, (C)
A new notebook installed with XP Home and has its own
workgroup.
Each of the four systems has its own Internet access.
My problems and questions are:
(1) Is there a way for the new workgroup to be part of
domain server and establish some kind of "trust"
relationship, so that they can use the same user account
list in the domain server for file sharing.
(2)In XP Professional and 2000 server, I can browse
domain and workgroup name, and select the computer names
to access. In XP Home, I cannot browse - is it normal and
how can I browse as I did in Pro?
(3) File Sharing: In XP Home, I clicked the shared
folders of the server, it will ask me user name and
password and can be accessed if I entered it. When I
clicked the shared folder of XP Pro (desktop), only a
message box came out saying I do not have the access
right. Not user name and password window will jump out.
How can I solve it??
(4) Any solutions for direct cable connection (using 1394)
between the Win XP pro and XP home? How do I set up for
sharing folders to avoid the need of a server?
Many thanks.
Sincerely,
John

- Windows XP >> Unable to create a Network Setup DiskThe Network Wizard gives me the following error message 'The wizard has
detected that this computer has no floppy disk drives or other removeable
media. You need such a device to create a Network setup Disk'
However I have recently installed a DVD/CD writer (Philips DVDR1648K/00) as
a slave to an existing DVD ROM which normally works fine. I've checked the
driver etc... If I view via 'My Computer' it states that a DVD-RW Drive is
installed, in properties it has a 'recording tab' although the 'hardware tab'
only lists the manufacturer as (Standard CD-ROM drives). If I cannot sort
this is there a way of creating a Disc without the Wizard ?

- Windows XP Security >> permissions and rights for multiple usersI am the unofficial network guy at the office. Everyone is on XP Pro and we
are networked on a server running SBS2003. We have 15 users (clients) total.
I have a couple of users who have a bad habit of moving or erasing folders on
the server that we all access, then I have to find and move them back or
restore them from my external hard drive backup. Can I easily keep them from
doing this with setting read and write only permissions for these users? I
cant lock them out of these project folders completely, as they need to be
able to creat or modify documents. But I have to keep them from moving or
deleting folders by accident. Any help is appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> Home networkI have 4 computers using HPNA (home phone network adaptor) and a router.
I set up a home network (titled HOME) on all computers.I have 2 problems.
1. Everytime a computer is rebooted I have to re-set up the home network on
that computer. Why is it losing the network setup?
2. I seem to be unable to share one of the printers on the network - a
Canon Pixma ip4000. I went into printers and faxes and selected share
printer. But I cannot see this printer from any of the other computers. Any
ideas why I can not see this printer on the network?

- Windows XP >> XP hard diskHi
I need some info about cloning a XP hard disk.
I have a 9 GB HDD (Fujitsu) with XP Pro on it. I don't have original
installable/Key as I got the HDD from a friend when he upgraded his
PC.
After extensively using my PC (leaving it on for long durations for
batch runs etc), it seems the HDD is close to the end of its usable
life. It makes a strange grinding noise sometimes. I am afraid my all
phd work and thesis might be lost if this HDD crashes.
I have a spare 20GB HDD and plan to transfer everything from XP-HDD to
new one. Since I have installed many software programmes, I just wish
somehow if I can just clone the old XP HDD 'AS IT IS' to new HD drive.
Reinstalling everything will be a sure impossible task and I guess it
will require a lot of time. (plus I even don't have XP pro installable
cds)
Can it be done reliably? I looked at similar posts, but most of the
suggestions seem to be trial/not-sure-to-work type. Some comments say
Ghost works for win'98, some say it doesn't for XP.
I will highly appreciate any help, advice.
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Hardware >> USB Device Not RecognizedHello,
When I attach either my Digital camera or MP3 player to my computer I
get the "USB Device not recognized" error message. I then took the mp3
player to my laptop and plugged it in and it recognized it fine. Both
of the systems are windows XP Pro. Any clue why my first computer is
having a problem and how I can fix it without having to reinstall
windows?? I do have a USB Printer that is recognized without a problem.
Thanks for the help.

- Windows XP Setup >> I AM SO FRICKING MAD I WANT TO CHUCK THIS THING IN THE RIVER XP SHI i have been working on trying to reinstall windows for the last 6 hrs I
have several xp pro disks that all have valid and legal product keys the
problem I have is that through the course of life they have become scratched
alittle here nd there not one of them will play all the way thru without
giving me the "cyclic redundancy" line so I thought that i would take parts
of each one that the others couldnt give me and make and burn one new cd with
all the right stuff... which I have done onlyroblem is that now apparently
the "manifest file does not begin with the required tag and format
information" I am 1/2 of the way into this installation and the installation
under it is toast ....question the 1/2 way thru set up was done with one of
the cyclic redundant cd' ...how can i get rid of this partial inStall and
start over?? WITH my new super cd and will it work or has bill gates done
something to each cd ' manifest because he was worried that he wouldn't be
able to shake every last dime out of us or that some one might steal
something that mixing and matching doesnt work and is there anywhere other
than a warez site that microioft might have to download with a valid key
another working copy?? that matches?

- Windows XP >> Language difference when upgrading from 98 to XPHi guys,
In a local store there is a good offer on XP Home upgrade version. It
says on the box that it can upgrade 98 to XP. My question is can I
upgrade my english version of 98 to a danish version of XP?
Another question - does the XP upgrade correspond to the regular version
of XP or does it correspond to an OEM version?
Thanks in advance!
BR,
René

I have WIN XP Pro and I would like for my computer to boot up a cash register

There's a folder called 'STARTUP' in which you can drag & drop the program
you wish to have start up automatically. To find this folder click on
'PROGRAMS' from the start menu.

- Windows XP Setup >> Formatting drive before upgrading to XP ProMy Win98 PC has virus "issues" and I would like to
completely format my drive before upgrading to XP Pro.
How can I do this? I run through the XP "new install"
option when installing XP but when it's done I still have
files/folders left over from my previous Win98
installation. I want to completely erase everything from
this drive so I have a fresh starting point for XP.
I don't know how to reformat a drive?
If I do, will my CD drive recognize the XP disk or do I
need to worry about copying CD drivers?

- Windows XP Security >> Similar to User Accounts Post below.I have a similar issue to rocknroll's post from 3-9. We purchased a cheaper
computer for our 5 year old son that included XP Home edition. He somehow
got into the controll pannel and assigned a password to the XP Welcome screen
and has no idea what he entered in there. I am trying to get by the password
screen.
I have tried to get to the safe mode but for some reason the F8 key does not
work during the boot sequence. I have tried to restore the machine to a
previous date but the F11 key does not work. I had to replace the standard
connection keyboard with a USB keyboard because there is an issue with the
standard keyboard port.
This machine has very little data on it and I would be willing to reinstall
all the programs in order to get by the welcome screen. Any help would be
appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> Outlook Express Wizard, or Manual Transfer?Has anyone used this, and any comments?:
http://www.outlook-express-backup.com/index.html
I sort of hate to use something (if only once) that I am not going to buy
for continued use.
Or, should I go here?
http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/backup/clone.htm
I'm doing a clean install (repartition, etc.) of XPHome from Dell's
reinstall CD on my laptop. My OE has only one identity. If I use the
instructions at insideoutlookexpress, I would make the backup on the
laptop's drive, and then copy to a USB external drive, wipe the laptop
drive, reinstall XP on the laptop drive, and then move the outlook
express backup back from the USB external drive to the laptop.
In the past, I've just saved out (exported) the dbx and address book,
then moved back to the reinstalled Outlook Express on the laptop.
I'm doing this for my daughter, and I don't want to mess up.
Thanks,
Bruce

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP Licensing QuestionWhat's the big difference between the full versions at the top of this list,
and the OEM versions at the bottom:
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=508417
http://tinyurl.com/6mztr
I have a computer running Windows XP with a illegal Product Activation Code.
If I purchase a Windows XP OEM version, will the code with it always work
with my puter?
Or do I need to make sure it has an OEM version of XP installed first,
before ordering an OEM CD and license and it being not what I need?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Athlon 2500 + Processor & NF7-S V2.0 MBI have flashed my BIOS to newest version. I have made some adjustments in
BIOS to CPU to get rid of RAM errors etc.
I just downloaded an update for SATA from MS for my RAID controller. There
is also an update for processor AMD K7 that I have not yet loaded. I do
have Athlon 2500 + and in RAID BIOS utility the BIOS & CPU are listed as
unknown.
Does the AMD K7 processor update apply to my Athlon 2500 + Barton?
Also I noticed that whey I restart XP Professional the general system
properties screen says Athlon (tm) XP--when I shut down the PC completely &
then boot back into XP the same screen will sometimes show only Athlon (tm)
without the XP? This is one reason why I was wondering if I needed the
update for the processor.
Any info would really be appreciated!

- Windows XP Support >> can't install fax--file copy errorI had this file copy error before when I tried overinstalling xp and
everyone said it's a hardware problem. But then I reformatted and did a
clean install and everything was ok, and I could overinstall after that. So
it's apparently a software problem. I'm just giving this background info so
no one jumps to the conclusion that it's a hardware problem. Well, I tried
adding the fax software from Add/Remove Windows components and it prompted
for the disk. I put in the disk and it went to the i386 folder but gave a
file copy error. I extracted the files to my hard disk with Winzip but still
not able to copy. How do I figure what's causing it?
