- Windows XP >> After defrag - Disc is not formatted error.I just defragged my secondary hard drive (D:). Now when I try to access it
I get the message: Disk is not formatted. The disk in drive D is not
formatted. Do you want to format now?
I used the Windows XP Disk Defragmenter utility to do this. The utility now
does not see the disc at all. I have rebotted with no change.
What do I need to do to get access to the stuff on that disc?

- Windows XP Setup >> Customizing default user configurationI am preparing a base image of a system for deployment and
I would like to configure what a new user is created
with. I would like to set a default wallpaper for all new
users and I would like to prevent some of the items on the
start menu and desktop from being created. I imagine
there is a .inf file or something were these defaults are
set but I don't know were it is. Please help I have 60
machines to push out and anything I can get set for all
users would help tremendoulsly.
Thank you very much.

- Windows XP >> System Time/Date falls behindRunning a Windows XP Home system and have noticed only
recently that the System Date/Time falls behind
consisstently. In fact, we lose about 45-50 minutes from
11:00am until 11:00 am the next day. We do have the
standard Network Time Update on and this seems to make no
difference even if we synch and turn it off. I will
check the internal battery on the machine but think this
is not the problem.
We are "up to date" on all updates from Microsoft. I
think this has occured since we installed updates around
end of August '03. Anyone else have this or know the
cause/solution?
TIA

- Windows XP Support >> Questionable registry entriesI was checking the registry this morning (I know enough to not touch
anything, but was looking for when my keyboard was installed - another
question later) and noticed some website visits from the past and text
messages I've sent to various email/phone addresses. Just wondering why
they're sitting in the registry and if there's any way outside of the
registry to delete those types of entries. They're not apparently dubious,
so I'm curious. As an example, I was looking for "Realdigital" and in that
same file(?) was the start of a note I sent to my daughter a while back
(perhaps sent on the same day as I installed the keyboard). If there's no
other way to delete these types of entries, I'll obviously leave them alone,
but I'm wondering why they're there. Thanks for your help.

driver to no avail. Currently using a wireless mouse connected via USB port.
Touchpad version is v5.8 and hardware properties show it is connected through
PS/2 port and is working properly. BIOS shows that the touchpad is enabled

- Windows XP Setup >> pro/100 nic driver and imagingIssue----I have a Gateway that includes an Intel pro/100
VE integrated Nic. After cloning image to this pc,
running Sysprep, I am then prompted to install the
driver.
Background info----We have 8 different models of
computers we that we use in our enterprise. Compaq and
Gateway. I have created one xp pro image, I use Norton
Ghost cloning software, and I have configured Sysprep so
I can load that image onto all hardware models. I have
tried locating the drivers in various places. I have a
drivers folder in sysprep, and also have tried using
drivers folder on root of c: in the source image. In
sysprep, I have pointed the oempnpdriverspath to these 2
locations. Also have added the install path to
devicepath in registry. All drivers load fine during
sysprep's run, except for one. I have a Gateway that
includes an Intel pro/100 VE Nic. After cloning to this
pc, running Sysprep, I am then prompted to install the
driver. At this point....If I point to the path listed in
Sysprep and the registry, the driver loads fine. Why
won't it find this particular driver? It's the only one
that won't load.
Any help is appreciated.......thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> Files not visable after copying to CDMy mother-in-law is having problems with her CD-R. I am
trying to troubleshoot this long distance but having no
luck. She copies photos (using WIN-XP's copy) to the CD-R
and clicks the write to cd option to write them from the
temp files to the actual CD. She then clicks on the cd-
rom to view the pictures and there is nothing there, the
window is completly blank. She has sent me a couple of
the cd's that have this problem and my computer see's the
pictures without problems. She can read files on a
purchased CD without problems.
I am completely stumped as to how to get it working
again. after going through multiple pages of the
newsgroup I have tried the MS patch that fixes most of the
problems with CD-burning (no change) and I have also
tried to delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters out of
some key in the registry, but they never existed in the
first place.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> WMM Freeze while importing files from my computerI have several files on my computer which I imported into Windows Movie
Maker. However, there were two video files which could not be imported. When
I click to import either one, it shows the progress bar filling, but then
stops at the same point each time (23% on one and 48% on the other).
When it stops, I click cancel but nothing happens. I have to close WMM from
the task manager.
It also stops at the same point when I try to convert thier formats with
other programs. However, when I try to watch the video files, they work fine.
Is there any way around this problem?

- Windows XP Hardware >> VirusI think I have a virus on my computer that have gotten

log on last configuration, and normal log on, I tried

- Windows XP >> Corrupt Jet DataBase 4.0 engineI use the MediaSource Software that came with my Soundcard (See Below).
This is used to access my music files. It uses the Jet Database engine to
catalogue these files. After a Repair install of my OS, I can no longer
access these files through Media Source. Whenever I try to, I am told that
the Jet Database 4.0 engine has been corrupted and that I should download
and run the latest incarnation of it, which is 4.0 SP8. I have done this,
but the error still persists.
How do I fix the Jet Database Engine?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> Registry & Java problems - related?Hey Folks,
My XP system won't remember email logins and passwords. Reading around the
Web it's pertty obvious this is a registry problem. I've also started
experiencing javascript problems in Explorer. I tried downloading Firefox
same problem. Go into MapQuest and the new java-powered maps won't display at
all, but I can bring them up without problem on my other machines. I see
similar problems on other pages.
My question. Are the two problems related?
If yes:
Is there a decent public domain tool for repairing the registry? I hate
the idea of giving Norton $60 to repair this problem and there's no tool
within XP (that I know of) for fixing this most common Windows problem.
If they're unrelated:
How to I reinstall Javascript on my machine?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP StartupI have Windows XP on my home computer and when my computer
boots up, I get the Welcome screen. But when my mother-in-
law boots up her computer, the Welcome screen also
includes her name, in which she has to click on her name
to continue. I'm not sure on how to have her computer
boot up with just the welcome screen. Any suggestions
would be appeciated.

Windows XP Support >> change extensions
I have a small problem, I need to change the extensions in a entire sub
directory,
all the files are called something.aac.mp3.
and winamp knows how to play an mp3 file, and it also knows how to play a
.aac file but the extension .aac.mp3. doesn't ring a bell
I can rename the file in something.aac and then there is no problem at all
but to rename a few hundred files by hand is a wee bit tedious
If anyone could tell me if there is a small progran that could do the trick
for me I'd be much obliged
kind regards Hans

Because of the double extension on the file name the RENAME command
doesn't work properly on these files so I can't see any easier way
other than renaming them individually.
Good luck

I tried a few tests and this seems to work with the RENAME command
ren *aac.mp3 *.
Note: There is a period after both asterisks (*). Make a back up copy of the
subdirectory before proceeding with this command.

- Windows XP >> Changing active windows via task bar pops up other active windowsWhen I have several active windows open and I use the task bar to jump
between active windows, other active windows pop up to the top. This happens
most noticably when active windows are stacked. So, say I have 5 active IE
windows, I click on the IE active window item to cause the 5 individual
window items to display so that I can choose one by a second mouse click.
When I make the first mouse click, on the IE active window item, a completely
different active window jumps to be displayed on top of all the other active
windows on my desk top.
