- Windows XP >> patin couffin access layer will not uninstallI have been trying to uninstall the patin couffin access
layer which is packaged with the Blind Write suite, and I
was able to do this successfully on a Win 2000 Pro
computer, however my XP home computer is not showing it in
the usual places in the device manager, even when "show
hidden devices" is checked.
If anyone knows where the hardware access layer files
would be stored within the windows directory, it makes
sense to me that i could try and manually delete or
uninstall them from there. does this sound possible???
any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> XP standalone lockdown - help!Hi All,
I need to lockdown a couple of machines that aren't on a domain -
here's the scenario:
Got a business requirement for public, "internet cafe" style net
access in a corporate setting. For a variety of legal, technical and
other reasons this isn't going to happen through our LAN, but via a
separate ADSL broadband install that is totally unconnected to our
main network. I'm anticipating a simple ADSL router and a couple of
machines connected to it - not even in a workgroup, but simply for
internet access.
What I want is to be able to nicely lockdown the clients for all users
apart from the admin. If this can be done with XP home then all well
and good - if it can be bodged with GPEDIT off a pro machine. If not,
we could get XP Pro.
I want to lockdown ability to install, hide various windows components
etc etc and this doesn't appear to be trivial.
Can anyone give a simple guide to doing this? All I've read so far
appears to involving GPEDIT much like you would on a domain, but just
on the local machine.
It's very tempting to save the licence money and stick a linux client
on but I think the punters would prefer the familiar XP GUI.
Cheers,
Ric

- Windows XP Support >> Wha's up with KB928366For over a month my computer has been updating this KB update. Finally,
tonight I went and found a removal tool for it in hopes that the next time
it updated would be the last time it updated.
WRONG! Or rather....now it won't update at all.
How do I get my computer back on track.
XP ver 2
Thanks!

- Windows XP Hardware >> Computer powers off randomlyMy PC will powers off randomly. There is no one function that causes it. I
can be running a program or sending an email or it could be sitting in an
idle state with no running processes and shuts down. Sometimes it will run
for days and sometimes it will only stay on for 20 minutes or so. Pressing
the power button will not restart the computer unless I first shut off the
power supply switch for a period of time.
My system is a three year old ABS.
Windows XP Home SP1 all updates.
AMD64 3400
Award F11 BIOS
Gigabyte, GA-K8N PRO Mother Board.
Fortron 530watt ATX power supply.
Coolermaster cooler
What I do not think is causing the problem.
I have clean and steady input line power off a Conext UPS.
I am virus and spyware free.
The system is clean and dust free.
All the fans are running.
If I monitor CPU temp in the BIOS it is good (32C - 35C).
I inspected the MB capacitors they all look good.
Checked all power connectors and cables.
Voltages reported good in BIOS (when I looked.)
Ran disc check no errors.
What may be causing it.
Bad temp sensor on MB - are there any work arounds, something I can shut off
in the BIOS to check this?
If my cpu cooler fan stalls for a split second and starts again will it
cause the system to shut down?
Broken ACPI, can it cause shut down issues, can it be disabled (in device
manager)to check for problems?
Possible bad power supply, why do I have to shut the switch off on the power
supply to get the system to power up after a failure?.
May be coincidence but the problem seemed to begin after a Windows update
a month or so ago.
I am still on SP1 I was going to update to SP2 when this problem began I do
not want to be in the middle of a op system update and have a power down.
When I view the event log nothing seems to be reported around the time of
shut down that is related.
Any help would be appreciated before I spend the big bucks I don't have for
tech support.

- Windows XP >> Interesting Licensing QuestionWhich by the way hasn't been covered, or I just missed it in the past 3
years.
We all know you can use an upgrade version of XP if you own a previous OS
like 98, and are only required to put the disc in to verify, then XP will
install.
Now, what is the status of that Windows98 disk ? Can it still be used for a
PC installation ?

save password box still cause the mystery password to show
up again netx time. I tried deleting the current

- Windows XP Network >> XP / 98 networking issueAnti virus programs sometimes limits the ability of
Windows 98 computers to see Windows XP users on a
Microsoft client network. You can try adjusting the level
of protection of the local network setting. Removing the
protection will surely allow you to see the XP computer
but you then should have a router to protect your
network. I disabled Zone alarm yesterday when I couldn't
see our new XP server. I have not yet tried to adjust the
settings on Zone but may not as we have a router that says
it blocks unauthorized access (emails may still be a
problem to be looked at).
Hope this helps the other postings with 98/XP issues.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Windows installer appearsThe windows installer box is appearing briefly when I
open certain programs, such as Control Panel and Internet
Explorer. They open and work, but I'm concerned by the
installer box appearing. I am using Windows XP Pro. I
recently had problems with Earthlink software and Norton,
and ultimately had to have a tech delete it (Earthlink)
from my registry and I installed a newer version of
Norton. Could this have messed something else up? Should
I reinstall my OS or Office programs,and if I do will I
lose any information?

- Windows XP >> Still a problem with files transfer...I am trying to use the files and settings transfer wizard, and
on the new computer I get the following message:
"The location that you specified does not contain stored information. Please

If you entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in

I can see the collected data with my eyes, so why does not the new pc?
I followed the steps as instructed, so what am I doing wrong? Any help would
be great.
Thank you.

- Windows XP Setup >> lost outlook messagesI found an article that said "When you import e-mail
messages into Outlook Express 6.0, the list of options
may include only Microsoft Outlook Express version 4.0
and Outlook Express 6.0; Microsoft Outlook Express
version 5 may not be listed.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, select the Outlook Express
6.0 option to import Outlook Express 5 messages. "
This is the problem I encountered, but I can't figure out
how to change this option. Could someone PLEEEASE tell
me how.
Thanks again,

- Windows XP Network >> Networking with XPI have three machines running XP, one is running XP Home
and the other two are running XP Professional. They all
are connected via a router sharing cable connection and
they all can share Internet connection with DHCP present.
All computers have the same workgroup name MSHOME, and
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
However, the XP Home cannot be viewed in the Workgroup on
both of the other XP machines. The only way the machines
can be accessed is if I click Start, Run and type \\<ip
address>. What could be wrong? The XP Home machine
doesn't seem to show in the workgroup, yet the other
machines show up just fine.

- Windows XP >> Minimizing Windows to the task barAll of a sudden and apparently for no reason, my open windows do not minimise
to the task bar. Instead, they "dissapear" Of course they are still active
and can be restored via the task manager. However, this is very inconvenient
and irregular. I have not been able to find a solution how to restore proper
operation of the minimise to task bar function.
Can anyone help?

Removed the app folder, etc.)
Thanks in adv.
