- Windows XP Update >> Local Admin installsI have implemented a WSUS server to push updates to workstation and laptops
on my network. I used group polices to configure how and when updates are
applied to the systems.
Because several users are part of the systems Local Administrators Group
updates donâ??t automatically install on those machines. The user has to click
on the update icon to download and install the updates.
Is there a way to change the update process so that local administrator does
not have to click on the update icon to download and install updates

- Windows XP Setup >> Timer for XP loggon?Hello. Is there any way limit the amount of time a user
can be logged on when using multiple loggons on a Windows
XP Home computer?
I have four sons and I'd like to give each their own
loggon on my Window XP computer. To exercise a bit of
parental control, I'd like to limit the amount of time
each spends on the compter per day. My vision is that each
could loggon with their own loggon (that's the easy part)
and then the computer would start a timer that runs in the
background that would warn them as their time draws to a
close and then log them off at the expiration if they
don't logoff voluntarily.
Is something like that even possible with with Windows XP
or will I have to install third party software. If so,
does anyone have a suggestion about whre I could find such
a program?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Detecting video cardHello everyone,
I'm borrowing a computer my friend built and I don't know
what kind of video card he used. It's a Celeron 1.7GHz
w/376 MB RAM. The Device Manager has a question mark
next to "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" and the
computer is incredibly sluggish for the processor and
bus. Is there a program that can detect what type of card
I'm using so I can go get a driver for it? I don't know
much about the Windows OS because I'm used to the MacOS
so I'm a bit lost.
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP >> Powertoy ResizerI have downloaded, from Microsoft, ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe. It's
loaded (Install Shield tells me it's already installed if I try to load it a
second time) but where the heck do I find it? It's not available if I right
click nor is it hiding in the control panel. Embarrassed to ask where is
it? System is running XP Professional.

- Windows XP >> Missing task barI am operating with Windows XP pro and currently I'm missing my task bar.
Not sure what I changed to make it go away but it's no longer on the bottom
of the screen. I cannot grab it to bring it up, it just plain isn't there.
Any ideas on how to get it back would be appreciated.
Thank you,

- Windows XP >> Disappearing "Documents and Settings" directory - HELP! HELP! HELPWhile preparing to send my wife's Dell D510 in for repairs (Blue Screen of
Death for a bad video chip), I was starting to back up her data to a CD ROM
drive. I was doing this inside of WinExp and was simply grabbing all of the
sub-directories under "Documents and Settings" and moving them to the D:
drive icon, prior to issuing the "burn CD" command.
The copy process got hung up, and I attempted to cancel it. Just then (sure
enough!), I got the BSoD and had to power down the laptop.
When I powered back up and logged back in (we have three users), my screen
showed only the icons for IE and Recycle! When I pulled up the Start Menu,
the "All Programs" selection shows "(empty)". When I try to access the
different document files (my login has Admin status), they are all empty!
I used the "Run" option and opened up Explorer. It showed no "Documents and
Settings" directory on the C drive, but it did show the three logon Document
Folders and the Shared Documents Folder as standalone icons. However, each
of those folders are empty! The D: drive cache shows only the "All Users"
and "Administrator" directories.
I have tried the http://www.tweakxp.com/article36827.aspx trick to no avail.
Of course, in the midst of all of this frantic keyboarding, I get the BSoD
popping up fairly often, necessitating a cold reboot.
Can some please tell me how to save my wife's files (and therefore my skin!)?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Network >> Network cable unplugged, but it's NOT!!!! Broadcom 440x NICThanks for looking and for any help you might be able to provide.
My laptop says that a cable is unplugged, but I've tried 3 different cables
that all work fine on another machine. This is a Broadcom 440x integrated
10/100 NIC and I have the suite that I can test the card. It passes all the
tests!
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and the card. Nothing, still
says the cable is unplugged.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be??

- Windows XP >> Windows Xp shut down-Blaster maybeWindows is shuting down about a minute after it starts up
so now I am running my computer in safe mode. I have ran
the balster virus tool from symantec and it says that I
don't have the blaster virus. So what else could cause my
computer to shutdown and turn off suddenly after a minute
or less after starup. I am running the blaster tool again
to see if it finds something this time. Also, I have run
an online virus check and it said that my computer is
virus free.

Look here: http://www.virtualmachine.tk/
And for the latest version of Sun Java go here:
http://java.com/en/index.jsp rather than using the link on the first
page, which will only confuse you.

- Windows XP Hardware >> New Mobo and ProcessorOS Windows XP Home SP1 (and all updates)
I have just installed a new PC Chips Motherboard DDR 266
and an AMD Athlon XP 2400 in my computer. On rebooting
the machine the system stalled at stalled. I restarted
and went to safe mode. System stalled at MUP.SYS but I
assume that it may have been the next setting that caused
the problem.
I tried a repair install from the booting from the
Windows XP CD. It went through the process until it came
to the "windows is not starting........." (or restarting
can not remember) screen and then the system reboots.
This goes on continually until I turn the power off.
If i try to intervene by pressing F8 while booting and go
to safe mode it gets as far as the safe mode screen with
safe mode written at the top and the bottom, then it
reboots the system.
Please help. I have 4 user accounts and seperate PST
files etc set up in outlook and DO NOT want to do a fresh
install.
Please help. Any other information you require just ask.

- Windows XP Network >> Can't find shared printer on networkWe have a home network, consisting of just two PC's. Computer A is the host,
and Computer B is the second PC. Both run Windows XP Home edition, SP2.
Computer B has McAfee security system.
Everything worked fine on Saturday night. Computer B was 'on the road' on
Sunday/Monday, and used an in-room internet connection in a hotel. On Sunday,
Computer A installed Symantec's Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2006. On
Monday night, when Computer B returned home and connected to the home
network, it was able to easily connect to the internet (cable modem through
Computer A), but has not been able to print on the network printer. Computer
A can print fine. We have tried the following: remove NIS using add/remove
hardware utility -- no luck. Re-install NIS - no luck. We have called
Symantec Tech Support, but have not been successful with their suggestions.
They did suggest a 'clean boot', which we have not tried.
We definitely do NOT want to mess up the internet connection for Computer B.
We'd rather have a successful internet connection for Computer B than a
successful printer connection, but it would sure be nice to get back to where
everything works again.
Computer B can successfully ping both Computer B and Computer A. Computer A
cannot ping Computer B, but can ping Computer A. Is the problem with Computer
A or Computer B? And what should we try next?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

- Windows XP Hardware >> usb - serial adapter isn't workingI have a Garmin GPS that I'm trying to connect to my Compaq V2310US
laptop, running XP Pro. I have purchased two different usb to serial
adapters and can't seem to make either play. Garmin's software can't
find the GPS with either. When I hooked up the first one, it gave me a
com7 connection, however garmin doesn't look at anything other than 1-4
so I moved it to com2. No play. I connected a breakout box to the
serial end and jumpered 2 and 3. I went into hyperterminal and
configured to talk with com2 and I can't see what I'm typing. I then
connected 4-5 and 6-20 in case it wanted some handshaking. No help.
The port is hot, since I see lights where they should be.
I get pretty much the same results with the other cable.
I brought Linux and minicom on a different system and the cable/breakout
box seems to work OK
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Toshiba M35 Laptop Safe Mode problemI am trying to access anything that will help me repair/recover the
computer. I cannot access the BIOS to change the boot sequence so as to get
to the DVD/CD drive and it immediately goes to the boot menu in which all
options lead to the BSOD with a bad_pool_caller error message that stays on
the screen momentarily and immediately restartst the computer. There is no
option to stop the auto restart so it loops continually. The Toshiba
website is of no assistance. When I choose Safe Mode boot the loading
sequence hangs at agp440.sys and then goes to the BSOD. I am pretty sure it
is a corrupt video driver, but I cannot get even to the commnad prompt to
fix it. The computer holds the business information for a new startup
company and its owner did not back it up so reformat is the last option open
to me. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a home network that has a workgroup.
I would really like to be able to access the storage on other computers from
my laptop, but can't figure out how to do that without disabling the domain.
If it matters, the computer I most want to access is Vista, not XP. But the

I can ping the computers from each other while on my home wireless network.
Any ideas?
