- Windows XP >> Utility for restoring windows/applications at rebootHello,
Does anybody know if there are any 3rd party utilities/applications
which will restore the windows/applications that were running prior to
system shutdown or reboot? I could find a utility like this very
useful (think Firefox browser window restore).
Thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> PLEASE ANSWER! How to activate UDMA in WindowsXP ?In a same machine I've installed Win98SE and WinXP Pro, 2 hard disks (both
master) and 1 CDROM drive (secondary slave), that supports UltraDMA2.
Win98SE sees UltraDMA in all drives.
WinXP instead set UltraDMA only for hard disks. CDROM drive is set to PIO
Mode!
The WinXP setting for CDROM drive is correctly "Use DMA if available", but
it works in very slow PIO Mode.
Chipset is VIA KX133 of Asus K7V motherboard.
I upgraded CDROM drive to latest firmware.
How can I activate UltraDMA for CDROM drive in WinXP ?
Thank you very much

- Windows XP Hardware >> help on Serial port support for Win XPWe are in manufacturing of EMC products.
We control our few equipment through computer. We have
used RS232 (COM1 OR COM2) as interface port. We have
developed our own application to run these equipment in
Visual Basic. Some applicaions are developed in older
versions of VB. We also include graphics server as a
supporting application. We have used graphics server 4.0
(which supports 16 bit windows).
Now our problem is when we connect one of these equipment
through RS232 port in Win 95 and Win 98 it works fine and
RS232 responds fine. But when we connect this equipmnt
through RS232 port in Win XP RS232 port slows down and
equipment do not work.
Please help us.

- Windows XP Support >> How to get Admin password?Im fixing a Compaq pressario laptop for a friend. its got xp home, and
after installing sp2, it gets the blue screen, error stop c0000135 cant
find winsrv
the best I can do is use another winXP cd and get to the recovery console to
try and apply the fix from Microsoft
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=885523#kb4
on deleting registry entries for the sp2, so it can boot.
Apparently while searching for a note about what the password might be, I
find it was sold at comp usa, and they bought a service plan, unconditional.
But guess what? they dont want to offer support, saying I needed to call
Microsoft to ask them what the Administrator password is.
It was setup by comp usa, who apparently setup the admin password. But they
say we would not know what it is and all the data will be destroyed on the
disk because the only way now is to wipe the disk and install everything
again. But I dont have any windowsXP disks, compusa kept them.
Well who cares, you have to buy xp, office, etc, not our problem. Besides,
its too complicated to work thru the registry, thats only for qualified
people, we cant help you, thats like way advanced or something.
Is there any solution?

Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the
most out of your computer.
You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use
Windows Update.
The system is xp pro sp1
Does anyone have a way of rectifying this problem?
Thanks for your time

- Windows XP Support >> Chinese characters taking over text in other programsI installed Chinese character support so I can type in Chinese as well as
English but it turned the text and menus in my Intel ProSet Wireless program
into Chinese. I have contacted Intel that said it was a Sony laptop problem
who then said it was a Windows problem. I can no longer view help files in
this program or menu boxes in English. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

- Windows XP Setup >> Q: Scheduling Defrag (GUI)Hello all.
I want to run the GUI version of Defrag (DFRG.MSC) as a scheduled task,
but it doesn't work as expected:
Running this .MSC from the "Run..." or DOS box works fine. But if I put
"%WINDIR%\System32\DFRG.MSC" as command-line in a scheduled task, it
just hangs there (presumably awaiting input). Either that, or it starts
and exits right away, depending on the syntax I use.
What I want is for it to run automatically -- and -- perform a disk
analysis of C:
I also tried the following construct, but alas...
"%WINDIR%\System32\CMD.exe" /C START "" /B /I
"%WINDIR%\System32\DFRG.MSC"
(with/out "/I" and "/B")
I know I can use "DEFRAG C: /A", but I want the GUI version. Besides, I
tried that too and it still runs invisibly. Annoying.
Anyone know the magic formula?
Thanks!
M.T.

- Windows XP Hardware >> "Cannot Install This Hardware" "Access is Denied"Hi,
I am unable to enable or update drivers for my display adapter (ATI
Radeon X300).
I have tried several alternatives that were posted on the Internet and
have found the problem (I hope so). However I am unable to overcome
this.
I have enabled logging whenever the operations (enabling of the
display adapter OR updating its driver) into a file C:\WINDOWS
\setupapi.log.
I further tried to set a registry value that would enable registry
updates to be logged too. (changing the value of LogLevel to FFFF).
However, this did not have any effect (the log did not contain any
additional information).
All the setupapi.log had was Error 5: Access is Denied
I suspected that there was a problem updating the registry and found
that a set of values under a group named ati2mtag was blocked. Even
though I am an administrator I could not delete or modify the contents
of this group. It denied me access.
I would really appreciate a solution, to make those set of keys
accessible once again.
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Can only save part of images but all of musicI need some advise. I worked 4 months on a family movie for x-mas. Now that
I have completed the project I went to save the project to either a CD or my
computer. Neither worked!!
I get a variety of problems each time I try. Either I get the error message
that states "Ensure the destination is valid and the origianl source still
exist, make sure there is enough disk space available" (Something like that)
or I will start to save but the estimated time continues to climb until I
eventually cancel. I actually got a CD to burn a few times, but only some of
my pictures were shown the rest were blank, all the music did record.
I have been on microsoft support line for 3 hours and they are now
escallating this case up. I see many people have this type of error but I
don't know what to do to resolve.
Should I cut the video in half and save twice??? I don't even know how to
do that? The total video is only 188MB which is about 22 minutes of images.
HELP!! Christmas is coming

- Windows XP Network >> Connecting to another computerI hope this is the right area to ask this question, but I am not sure where
else to turn. I am having a problem with one computer and I am sure there is
a setting I am missing.
When we do a connection to other computers on our network (all are XP
machines) by going to Start-Run-\\<computer-name>, most of the computers
respond by throwing up the "Connect to <computer DNS >" box asking for a user
name and password. However, I have one machine that just opens up and shows
all of the shared components (files, printers, etc.). When I try to access
any of the shared folders, it always gives me Access Denied. At no time on
when trying to connect to this machine do I get asked for user name and
password.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks - John

when I noticed that every time XP started on bootup I got the blue disc
checking screen that you can stop by pressing any key. Every time!
I carefully checked on shutdown that the correctâ??Turn Offâ?? button was
pressed and that Windows shut down properly - and that the power was not shut
off. On boot up however the same blue disk checking screen appeared. How do I
turn this feature off? Denzil.

and that says if I'm connected to a WSUS server then my updates window will
look different.
It currently looks like the SUS version shown on that link above and when
I've followed that article to update but i'm not sure what could be causing
the 401 error?
I've got BITS 2.0 installed on my client and granted anonymous access to the
server through IIS. Struggling a bit now and wondered if anyone else could
help me out?
Thanks,
