  - Windows XP MovieMaker >> Movie Maker CrashingBack on Sept. 9th I posted a query on this board about WMM crashing. I
    recieved a lot of good info, help and suggestions. unfortunately, they just
    let me get farther along in the movie making process before a crash.
    
    Since that time I've tried a few things and yesterday came up with a
    solution that allows the movies to be made without crashing. So, I thought I
    would post the info for anyone who may have similar problems.
    
    First, I have about 29 clips ranging from 2 to 20 minutes generated by
    PhotoStory 3. Initially I had been making the clips in PS3 using the
    PapaJohn DVD Profile (NTSC), which is fine for burning to a data cd. What I
    was tring to do was combine clips into larger chapters to make a DVD with
    less than 21 chapters. That was where I was using WMM and it bagan to crash.
    
    Yesterday I thought I would see what happens from a quality and crash
    perspective if I created the clips using the Profile For Computers 2 (640 x
    480) in PS3 and not the special DVD profile created by PapJohn. I remembered
    that the quality of those clips was very good.
    
    Next, I imported the clips into WMM to start combining them into chapters
    for a DVD. I imported from two to four clips depending on duration to be
    combined together.
    
    Using the PapaJohn WMV For DVD (NTSC) profile in WMM I started to combine
    the clips. It worked! WMM did not crash and I was able to ocmbine 21 PS3
    clips into 7 Chapters for a DVD. Using Papa John's profile allows the clips
    to be viewed wide screen and the quality was excellant.
    
    I still have RAM issues with only 756M of RAM on my PC. But, by running a
    memory optimizer which shows me how much RAM is available in the task bar and
    closing and opening WMM after each combining session I was able to get past
    this stumbling block.
    
    Hope this helps.
    
    Thanks.

  - Windows XP Network >> Windows XP Home Network FrustrationI have been trying, thus far unsuccessfully, to network my Laptop with my
    Desktop. Both are running Windows XP Home for which all required updates
    have been downloaded.
    
    Computer Browser Service is started on both.
    
    The Workgroup name is NJBPAB, the computers, respectively are named NORM_D
    (Desktop) and NORM_L (Laptop).
    
    In the hope that SKP may be able to help and, at the risk of boring everyone
    to tears, the diagnostic info that I thought might be relevant follows.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Norm Butler

    I see your point about the 3GB hard drive, so i'll get rid of it. As
    for the floppy drive, there isn't one, period. Also, my 80 GB hard
    drive -used- to use its full capacity, but I had problems with it so I
    let a friend of mine configure my hard drive setup for me. As for my
    boot disk, I meant that my boot disk was a retail version XP CD-ROM. My
    mainboard make i'm not sure of yet, but i'll get back to you later on
    with that one (after i've finished work at 2pm).

This isn't precisely true. However, there is a known issue with XP
recognizing floppies formatted in older operating systems on older
machines. The best way to deal with this is to format a few new
floppies in the XP machine. Then take the floppies with old data to a
machine running Win98 and copy the data to the hard drive. Now copy
that data onto the new XP floppies. Your XP machine should be able to
read the data now.

Try this. Format some floppies on your XP machine, take them to
to a 98 machine, and copy the diskettes you are trying to read to
the newly-formatted ones. You should be able to read them now,

  - Windows XP Update >> User forced to rebootWe are currently running the latest version of WSUS on Windows 2003 SP1.
    The workstations are Windows XP Professional SP1.
    We have set the registry settings, so that users will receive and have the
    patches applied automatically. We'd like them to have the option to restart
    at a later time if they choose to. Same registry settings are applied to
    everyone (Admins and non-admins).
    However, the non-admins receive the prompt "Your updates have been installed
    successfully. To complete installation you must restart our computer. Do
    you want to restart your computer now?" The "No" option is greyed out and
    cannot be clicked. Only the "Yes" option is available to them.
    On the other hand, the admins receive the prompt "Updateing your computer is
    almost complete. You must restart your computer for the updates to take
    effect. Do you want to restart your computer now?" and they have two
    options available, "Restart Now" and "Restart Later".
    We'd like all the users to receive the same prompt as the Admins get.
    Registry export is as follows:

  - Windows XP Setup >> Need help with XP Pro install to a Serial ATA drive - getting error every time and want someone to explain it please!! It's driving me nuts!!I am trying to install XP Pro with SP2 slipstreamed onto a Serial ATA Drive.
    
    At the commencement of the process I have to press F6 to install the SATA
    drivers.
    
    Everything goes fine until I have selected the required driver and press the
    Enter key to load it.
    
    At that point I get the following error message:
    
    "File \WINXP\fasttx2k.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2113 in
    d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\oemdisk.c."
    
    I tried installing XP Pro from the original disk and got a virtually
    identical error message:
    
    "File \WINXP\fasttx2k.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in
    d:\xpsp1\base\boot\oemdisk.c."
    
    I have learnt elsewhere that the error (18) relates to some problem with a
    file location, but I have no idea what the heck is going on.
    
    I would really appreciate it if someone who can interpret this mess would
    explain it to me please!

    I am sure whether it happenes to you or not. Sometimes it
    takes so long to logon the computer to the domain like 8

    drives. I have no choice but to restart the computer once
    again. Sometimes the problem is solved after restarting
    the computer but it is getting frustrated to do it every
    day as a routine. Plus sometimes all the icons and stuff
    are gone after logging in.. and I also have to restart
    the computer again to make the icons coming back. What
    seems to be the problem? I am not logging on at a busy
