- Windows XP Setup >> Where is the hidden location for icons?On a couple of cd-roms, when I insert them the wrong icon appears in the "my
computer" window. I'm not sure if it's related, but the icon displayed is one
I added to a program using visual studio.net, but the names are different.
The name of the program I added the icon to is tomb4.exe, while the cd-roms
autorun.inf have set "icon=autorun.exe". I don't have any instances of
"autorun.exe" on my system. I verfied that the cd-rom's autorun.exe have the
right icons.
I'm trying to figure out the source of the icon that is displaying when I
insert the cd-roms so I can delete it. I haven't had any succes so far. Is
there some hidden location where icons are cached?

- Windows XP Security >> partition problemi recently tried setting up a multi OS computer, and I tried installing Linux. Well, that installation has come and gone and its left me with this. I start the computer and a boot loader appears, I can enter Linux fine. But if i choose DOS to boot into XP, it starts with the load screen, then says two files are missing (the ones that scan the system right when it begins to boot), and it ends with a screen saying there was a major error or problem and it couldnt boot. So i put the restore cd in, about to reinstall XP and the first option comes up, and it displays a message saying it couldnt find windows partition!?!?!?!?!?!?! Any suggestions that don't involve formatting????????? Please I am desperate. If necessary, I have an external 60 gb harddrive. I will try to find a way to access my windows files and information (music, pics, etc) on the Linux OS, and then put onto the external harddrive... I hope i dont have to go that route, or i hope i can even access my windows files and information still!!!! please help me!!!

- Windows XP Setup >> Problem with XP Product ID acceptanceI recently lost the hard disk on my notebook which had win'98 installed. I
ordered a replacement disk with the XP-Pro image and went and purchased an
upgrade license to XP-Pro. The 25 digit code is not accepted. What could
be the problem? Is it that the 25 digit ID is related to the version of
XP-Pro? What I mean by this is that the license that I've received and the
disk are for XP-Pro with SP1. Now if the image is for the first release is
it possible then that the 25 digit code is unique for the original release
and the SP1 release? Does anyone know if that is the case? TIA Lugia

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> WMM won't recognize my Sony camcorderHi,
Although I previously have not had any problems and have made plenty of WMM
projects, lately my computer won't recognize my Sony camcorder. So I can't
capture any video.
However, I am able to capture using the lesser quality capture setting of
DV-AVI. This doesn't work out so well because when I play the movie it get
shakey and tends stick or freeze up.
Can anyone give me any tips how to get the computer to recognize the camera
through the Best Quality setting?
Thank you,
Brian F.

- Windows XP Network >> Incorrect Function Error with Network TasksFor some reason, my XP Professional system can no longer connect to my
Windows 2000 Domain. I have another system that is connecting without any
problems using the same login. When trying to map drives, I was getting
"Incorrect Function" returned as the error. I thought that it might be a
domain issue so, I disconnected the computer from the domain. Now, I cannot
rejoin the computer to the domain. I am getting the same error "Incorrect
Function" when trying to do that.
Does anyone have any idea on what might have happened to my system? Also,
what would be the best way to fix that would have minimal impact on user /
application configurations?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
DWB

- Windows XP Network >> Limited or no connectivityAfter loading Win XP and SP2 on a buddys computer there is a constant message
about limited or no connectivity to the Internet.
He uses charter highspeed and has the computer connected directly to the
modem via ethernet. A reboot usually allows the problem to temporarily
subside.
I think there might be an issue with the NIC in this machine, but havent any
problems with this PC on other networks.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Support >> Delete Folder Script - error: path not foundDear Experts,
The following script deletes folders that are
more than 1 day old:
dtmYesterday = Date - 1
strYear = Year(dtmYesterday)
strMonth = Month(dtmYesterday)
If Len(strMonth) = 1 Then
strMonth = "0" & strMonth
End If
strDay = Day(dtmYesterday)
If Len(strDay) = 1 Then
strDay = "0" & strDay
End If
strYesterday = strYear & strMonth & strDay
strFolderName = "D:\Reports\" & strYesterday
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFolder(strFolderName)
and my folders are as follows:
D:\Reports\20051102
D:\Reports\20051103
If I run the above script on Nov 9 it would return me
the following message:
error: path not found
code: 800A004C
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
(as 20051108 does not exist)
Question - how do I add a script to ignore folders
that do not exist?
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP >> Zone Alarm Pro-4 detecting a new network? How to know?I'm running Windows XP Professional in 3 PC computers
connected through a LAN and accessing the Internet through
a single DSL Modem/Router. All 3 PCs have Zone Alarm Pro-4
installed. Today when I start one of the PCs, Zone Alarm
detected a "New Network" connected to my system which I don't
know if is part of my network, or an intruder trying to connect with
my network. The IP number Zone Alarm showed me start with the numbers
169.XXX.X.X (I'm not even sure if it is safe to show all the data here).
I don't recognize this IP number, and I suppose all the IP numbers
corresponding
to my network should be already memorized as "trusted zone" in the
Zone Alarm software settings and configuration, but I had to give permission
to the suspicious IP number in order to connect to the internet. Zone Alarm
needed a response before allowing me to continue.
My question is:
How can I identify any unknown IP numbers Zone Alarm asks me to allow
or deny permission once in a while?
Should I perform a traceroute, or what are the sites or software to
use to faster and easily identify all suspicious IP numbers and network
activities?
I'll appreciate any help regarding this matter.
Thanks in advance,
Silvie.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Error on \Device\CdRom0 during paging operation ???Hi,
I have seen these issues also with WinXP, so maybe someone
has a clue...
A customer's Server SBS 2003 has these problems (increasing)
- CDrom has a bad block (ranging from none to 50+ times).
- Error on CDrom during paging operation (about 20 times).
(all per CD read attempt).
I replaced the NEC DVD+/-RW by a NEW Pioneer DVD+/-RW.
Reading CD's causes massive 'Errors during paging operation'.
Explorer slows down to a crawl and seems not responding.
It takes minutes to (re)draw the explorer window.
When ejecting the DVD, the window redraws immediately.
Happend with 3 DVD's/CD's. I didn't even dare to burn a DVD.
I uninstalled Nero, 'Updated the Device Driver', uninstalled the
device, hat it redetected and reinstalled driver but all to no avail.
I can not (re)install Nero due to mentioned reading problems.
MS KB or the wwweb provided no solutions.
System
-------
Acer Altos G320 server
Windows SBS 2003 + SP1, all updates except SP2.
2x 512MB ECC RAM.
2x 120GB harddisks in RAID 1.
DVD+/-RW: Pioneer DVR112-BK on IDE.
The only IDE device on the cable (master).
This needs to be fixed VERY quiclky, Please Help !!!
Kind regards,

- Windows XP Support >> won't read compact flashI have a compact flash drive and card from which I load digital pics. It (XP
Pro sp2) used to read the card just fine. But over the last couple of days I
worked with XP tech support to uninstall and reinstall sp2 ... long story.
Now none of the 3 USB ports on my machine will read this. This is what
occurs when I plug in the reader:
1. Shows the "found new hardware" and prompts to install software for the
USB mass storage device.
2. I click to install automatically (first couple of times without OS disc,
second couple of times with it).
3. It searches, and each time an installation window appears stating that
the software has not passed the Windows logo testing to verify its
compatibility and offers two buttons: "continue anyway" or "stop
installation."
4. Stop installation is obvious. Continue anyway, searches, attempts to
install, then produces another window stating that it cannot install this
hardware.
5. I've tried going into device manager and updating drives and reinstalling
the driver, all with the same outcome.
What gives? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dean

- Windows XP Network >> Download MPG filesWhen I click on an MPG/MPEG file through the browser, it
opens Media Player and displays the message Conecting...
Well, it never connects and does not display the file.
If I right-click the file and then download it to a local
directory, this works fine. Then I can double-click the
local downloaded file and will display perfectly in Media
Player.
This problem happens with MPG/MPEG files only. I can
download and play directly with Media Player all other
media formats, e.g., wfm, avi, etc. I've tried
reinstalling Media Player, IE6.x and went so far as to
reinstall XP, but to no avail. What gives?
