- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Slow launch of applicationsClean install of Windows XP Home Edition.
Clicking on a document (e.g. a Word document, or Excel
document) launches the application, but it takes over 30
seconds! Same with clicking on a link from Outlook, or
selecting a document from the Recent Documents submenu of
the Start menu.
Launching an application by clicking on its icon works
fine. Opening a document from within an application
works fine.
Anyone know what's up?

- Windows XP Setup >> HijackedUsing Internet Explorer and running Windows XP Pro with Webroot Spy Sweeper
and MCAfee for virus detection.
Spy Sweeper shows my system to be clean and McAfee donâ??t indicate any
problems, But about 19 out of 20 attempts to connect to any thing on the
internet are getting hijacked to a Chinese Language version of Yahoo.
Obviously what I have isnâ??t working.
I have encountered some major problems from just blindly trying out these
sort of downloads (More difficult to get them off the computer than a virus)
If some one has experience with a legitimate program that works better than
what I have, I would appreciate their recommendation.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Pioneer DVD-Rom And LG CD ReWriter Problem Please Help!!!For about 2 years I have had this PC with XP home
edition. It has a Pioneer DVD-ROM (PIONEER DVD 113) and
an LG CD ReWriter (HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B) both have
worked perfectly. Yesterday I reinstalled XP and it
picked up all of the devices perfectly. Today neither of
the drives are appearing in my computer or WMP. I tried
reinstalling the drivers for them several times using the
Device Manager. I get the same problem everytime. I Get
the following message:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this
hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code
39)"
What am I supposed to do? I have looked for the drivers
for both drives on the web and have downloaded them and
installed them. No matter what I do nothing helps. Does
any one have anything that can help me! Could you E-Mail
me at this Address please. Thanks For Your Help!

- Windows XP Support >> KB908531 and MicrosoftWith all the posted problems about update KB908531 has anyone heard from
Microsoft acknowledging these problems? Seems awfully quiet and I wonder
what next months updates will bring if KB908531 has not changed. In short
what happens if one doesn't use this update but next month installs
Microsoft's new KB?? update?
Think about it!!

serious fault warnings, and my system crashed after downloading
the SP-1 Service Pack. I also lost my dialup modem (Lucient
modem). How can I get an SP-1 CD ROM? I tried to download it
but it didn't work and no one knows where to get it. Please

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Maximum Program Run sizeHello
Does anyone know if I can increase the maximum program
size without increasing physical memory.
I try to run a .exe which bring up "Program Too Big for
Memory" message.
I have been into DOS and carried out mem cmd, and it says
the maximum program size is about 613 MB. The program I
want to run is about 630MB. Is there a tweak I can make
to run this program? Although it is an .exe, it will an
unzip program. Once unzipped, I can work with it easily.

- Windows XP Hardware >> ms-dos program com port not readyMy MS-DOS program writes to COM1 (it sends a short string
for opening a cash drawer attached to COM1). When run in
Windows XP, it always responds 'not ready'. A technical
colleague investigated and says that both DTR and CTS
lines are reported to an MS-DOS program running under
Windows XP as "low" even when they are "high". My MS-DOS
program is from a third party, so there is no way I can
alter it (eg to have not bother checking the COM1 port
status before sending the Open string). How can I get
this program to work properly in Windows XP?

- Windows XP >> Windows Media Player and Canon i550 Printer crashesI very often encounter a problem while using my Windows
Media Player. The sound totaly disconnect if I open a new
software such as Word or Excel and even if I open
Internet Explorer.
As well, my Canon i550 Printer crashes often but not all
the time, when trying to print something.
In both cases, I get a message from Windows asking me if
I want to register the problem. I do not why they ask me
this since they never got back to me with a solution.
I have also spent $30.00 for on a PC Doctor On Call
software hoping that it would solve the problem. In vain.
Can anyone please help me and tell me how to rectify this
annoying situation?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> ACCESS DENIED \\*computer name here* is not accessible. You may...I have 4 computers on my network. All of them are desktop computers. They are
connected through a linksys router and have worked fine for quite a while.
One day, one of the computers just dissapeared from the network. It was then
labled *network path not found* even though the workgroup view still sees the
computer.
This is not the problem that I am asking about however.
Later, after I had to redo another one of our computers, the network
automatically found all the computers in the workgroup view. It could only
connect though to 1 of the computers. The most stable out of the computers,
not redone at all, was working fine and all the 3 computers could
communitcate (except for the prob discribed above) with each other. Then,
when I noticed the folder for the main computer was gone, I opened the
workgroup view and clicked on the computer. Now, I get the following errors
for each pc.
PC 1 error: \\*name* s not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the adminsistrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found.
(end of error 1)
PC 2 error: \\*name* s not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the adminsistrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.
Access is Denied.
(end of error 2)
I have no idea what is wrong. Usually the network automatically fixes itself
when the access denied problem arises, but it hasent yet at all. And the
network path lost error has been around for quite a while for me now. How do
I fix these problems?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

- Windows XP >> LIVE UPDATEI have Symantec Norton Internet Security 2004. My live
update shows a red X and tells me to try again later, this
was a day or so ago but it will still not update my
security settings. It tells me to re-install Live
Update. I know how to remove this by add/remove, but do
not know how to reinstall live update on its own. The
information book that comes with Norton shows how to
reinstall the whole package, by disc, but the message
states just re-install Live Update. Please help.
