- Windows XP Support >> Why doesn't my system read chinese?I am using Windows XP professional 2002 and my system cannot read chinese. I
was using XP home on another computer and it supported all my applications.
On this computer, I can read chinese in documents and on the internet, but
not with any applications.

- Windows XP Network >> Windows XP receives wrong DNS value via DHCPHi Folks,
I am having a problem with a couple of clients not receiving the correct DNS
Servers.
We exist in our own domain but on a WAN that has it's own domain configured.
The Clients get their IP settings via DHCP. However when I do a fresh start
of the workstation (ie on logon) the DNS servers IP's are not what is set via
DHCP but rather the DNS servers of the bigger group. In addition the
Connection-specific DNS suffix is incorrect.
To correct the problem I do the standard ipconfig /renew and it then receive
the correct information. Manually configuration of the suffix does not help.
If the workstation is left on overnight then one finds that the settings
have reverted to the incorrect ones.
Systems are XP one running SP2. The problem first occured when running an
update from Windowsupdate (prior to loading SP2 on the one workstation) but
due to the fact that a number of patches were loaded at the same time (22) we
are not sure which has patch may have caused it.
Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Setup >> Please recommend a good newsreader?I read and post to newsgroups daily.
Sometimes I subscribe to a variety of different newsgroups and post in
different newsgroups.
Sometimes in sci.math, sometimes in programming related, sometimes in sports
related, sometimes move on to another nntp server, for example, Micorsoft
News server to ask techinical questions... , etc.
Is there a software can collect what I have post and what other people
replied and present them in front me in an efficient and uniform way, and
with new replies arrival pop-up/notification feature?
Currently I am using Outlook Express. It is not convinient at all.
I post on different groups. Then I have to go back and click on each groups
to see if there are replies to my postings... And a lot of times they don't
get reply. And maybe after 15 days they got reply. I tend to forgot myself.
And some newsgroups are so hot that my postings got washed away in half a
day... then I have to scroll down many message headers to find my own
postings... and a lot of times such searching takes much time. Then I reply
to other people's replies and they reply too and then such tedious procedure
repeats.
If some discussion is meaningful. We'd like to save. But Outlook Express
does not save conversations in a nice-looking way. Maybe I want to save as
PDF. But the layout should be neat and easy to read.
Outlook Express also does not have auto-filling feature. So specify a list
of newsgroups to post is also painful.
Google groups web-based newsreader is a lot better. But still has
shortcomings. The worst shortcoming is it does not allow subscription to MS
newsservers.
Please recommend a good newsreader, thank you so much!

- Windows XP Support >> Screen goes momentarily black when deleting or renaming files. IdeHi guys.
Okay, weird problem - sometimes when I delete or rename a file on my
desktop, my screen flicks off for half a second or so, then comes back to
life with no apparent ill effects. Any idea what could be causing this? It
doesn't always occur, and my system seems to behave more often than not.
I've trawled the web for ages trying to find a solution, without any luck. I
would welcome any suggestions...
Many thanks!

- Windows XP Security >> dumb group policy mistakeI created a very restrictive group policy for my XP Pro machine, for my kids
use.
I assumed it would not affect the administrator account, but it did (why?)
Now I cant shutdown the machine myself, or do even run the gpedt.msc to
change the profiles. I even tried Safe Mode boots but policies even work
there...
1. How can I turn group policies off (using my admin account)?
2. can policies be applied only to members of the Users group?
thank you!!!

- Windows XP Network >> Discover network shortcuts on PC'sWhen we move shared data from an old server to a new server, we need a method
to discover shortcuts on a network. This is with the aim in mind of providing
seamless transition for a customer when we move their data. Itâ??s easy enough
to remap known drives in logon scripts but to avoid problems weâ??ve recently
had when weâ??ve done this kind of work we need a method to discover user based
shortcuts that have direct unc paths to shares (rather than mapped drive
based shortcuts, which should still work).
The ability to search a userâ??s profile (but not temporary internet files and
temp locations) for .LNK files may be the way to go but if you can find some
information out â?? maybe a product â?? that can satisfy that requirement that
would be great thanks.
Ideally customers should be using DFS but not many have it setup.

- Windows XP Support >> All user accounts are missingWe are discussing Win-XP Home with Sp2
The computer was working, when the user shut down. The machine was rebooted
the next day, it no longer accepted the assigned password. In addition to
that other user names including administrator, user, a test account and
previous account with no passwords also would not login. I used a boot disk
(CD Ultimate boot disk) that has a utility to change/replace a lost password.
During the process of using this program, it revealed none of the accounts
were present to apply a new password. I ran this disk on another machine to
verify it was working properly.
I used Bart PE (boot disk) and was able to recover the users PST file and
the few documents in that profile, the other profiles were not present. I
copied the files to another computer with remote terminal (from the Bart PE).
Unfortunately the utility on the Ultimate disk does not have the ability to
create a new account. This account was not running AdAware, but was running
Symantec Corporate AV.
Is there a way to create an account, booting from the Bart Pe shell. I have
seen similar problems with icons etc missing.

- Windows XP Network >> Networking Win XP and Win 2kI'm having trouble networking (file sharing) a desktop
running Win XP and a laptop running Win 2k. The laptop
is from work so I can't change any major settings on it.
I'm trying to network over a WiFi connection.
I have a user acct on both machines that is the same and
they belong to the same workgroup and NetBios is enabled
on both machines.
My Win2k laptop can see all of the shared folders on the
WinXP system and can copy from them to the laptop
But the Win2k laptop cannot copy TO the WinXP system, nor
can I access the laptop icon from the WinXP system. I can
see the laptop from the XP system in Network Neighborhood.
I keep getting error messages like:
"The specified server cannot perform the requested
operation"
or
"Access is denied. The source file may be in use" (It
isn't)
What am I doing wrong?

However, if I click ok or cancel, nothing happens.
Any ideas?

new larger drive, but have had no success. The Ghost
program will not allow me to go any further after making
a startup floppy disk.
I understand the licensing problem of having 2 copies of
XP on the same computer, but how do I accomplish what I

- Windows XP >> Can't extend desktop.Recently I just finished a build with XP Pro. The graphics card is the XFX
Nvidia 8600GTS with 512MB memory and 2 x DVI outputs.
However, I can't extend my desktop to the second monitor. I have two
monitors plugged in yet windows is only detecting the one output. On my
laptop it shows 2 black squares with 1 and 2 representing the two monitors,
here I only have a picture showing a monitor with the desktop blue background.
Why is it not finding the other output?
The drivers are the latest ones from the Nvidia website?

configured exactly the same that only has 2 opened MSMSGS

home machine always vary. Can anyone tell me why one
