- Windows XP Support >> Weird beeping from inside notebookHi there,
I get weird beeping noises from my IBM T23 (PIIIM, 1.2GHz) - but only
when certain applications are loaded. I noticed the beeps from under
the left palmrest when one or more of the following apps are loaded,
even when in the background and completely idle:
- Trillian or Skype
- Flash-enabled websites
- Windows Media Player
No beeping with IE, Office, Movie Maker, Mozilla
I'm running XP Pro SP2. Someone suggested that this might be
SP2-related. I will further investigate this with a clean install
without SP2.
When Speedstep is set to "Adaptive", the beeping is related to any
activity on the laptop, i.e. moving windows, clicking a link in my
browser etc. loudens the beeping.
The beeping is more obvious when running on AC, as the CPU runs faster.
On the slow and very slow setting, it is more silent.
What could that be? It doesn't seem to come from the speakers,
attaching headphones or muting them doesnt help.
You can follow the same issue here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> cleanmgr.exe is hangingA Puzzler:
Whenever I run the Disk Cleanup utility (cleanmgr.exe)
with my XP Home system, the initial screen never gets
past a few bars in the "scanning: compress old files"
stage.
Cancelling out does not end the process - I must do this
manually in Task Manager.
It just uses up memory and MEGA CPU power.
Nothing on Emachine's site.
Any ideas????????
OS: XP Home, SP1.
machine: Emachines W2785
processor: Athlon XP 2700+
Processor Speed: 2.16GHz
RAM: 480 MB
Many thanks!!

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Problems with exported video colorI'm having a problem with the color of an exported video. See an example
picture at:
http://www.hikinghomeschoolers.org/Family%20Pictures/DistortedVideo.png
I encoded a video from an analog camera using a Hauppauge capture card to an
uncompressed WMV file using Windows Media Encoder and then imported this file
into WMM on Vista. The video imported into WMM and plays fine there, but
after I publish the video I get this result upon playback. The title screen
WMM inserted looks good, but the video is all "pinkish".
Any hints?

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP Setup FreezeI have recently changed the motherboard in one of my computer systems at my
workplace. The machines in the office all use identical components, accept
the new motherboard. This of course required me to reinstall windows because
it was a substantial hardware change. The computer boots from the Windows CD,
inspects the hardware, enters setup and begins loading the drivers. Then
before it even gets to the screen where it asks if you want to recover or
install windows, it locks up. Right when it says "SEtup is Starting Windows".
The first time i booted from the CD it got past this point and it allowed me
to format the drive and then reboot, which would then allow me to install
windows. Since then it has locked up everytime. I have tried swapping out
hard drives, the CD-ROM drive, and just about evetything else accept the CPU.
I even tried to run setup with the same CD on several other computers, and it
worked everytime on those. What could be the cause of this problem? I am at a
complete loss as I have been working on this for days.

- Windows XP Hardware >> device driver for mustek scannerI have windows xp home edition. After disconnecting my
scanner for some reason weeks ago, i now find i cannot
reinstall it. I am using a usb port and each time i plug
in I get the dreaded blue screen. I then realised i have
to install the driver first then plug in. All i get is
the " Paramount is incorrect". I have managed to dissable
the driver but when inserting cd to install again i still
get the paramount is incorrect. I know i must sound an
idiot but please bear with me as i am 48 and until
January this year had never turned a pc on. I am self
taught and very pleased with myself i have even managed
to install a cd rewriter all on my own. Which has been
working great for 6 months now.
Can some kind wizzard out there tell me where I
am going wrong. Cheers Jenny

- Windows XP >> Bad shortcut iconsThe shortcut icons for my MSOffice suite (word, excel,
ppoint, access) as well as adobe acrobat display as
generic icons instead of the specific ones (the blue "W"
for word, the green "X" for excel, etc.) Also, the
documents themselves (like .doc or .xls files) have
generic icons too. The "change icon" button is greyed out
in properties.
I've tried deleting the IconCache.db file and restarting,
and changing the screen resolution and color quality in
display settings. Neither has changed anything.
Please advise.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Repair of perfmon.msc performance monitorApparently a number of people have had problems with perfmon not
displaying system performance data. It seems to be due to some .dat
files being missing or corrupted.
After much searching and experimenting, I have found a fix.
Run a search for perf*.dat in the C:\I386 folder
Copy all perf*.dat files to the C:\Windows\system32 folder
Start Pefmon.msc. It will begin to display data immediately without a
reboot.

USB Mass Storage Devices are allocated a drive letter OK
But, when try to access the device I get:
'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on your computer......'
Investigation shows this may be due to a GPO setting.
If due to a GPO where is it and how can it be changed?
If something else what could it be?
Thank you

- Windows XP Hardware >> Camera and Scanner Wizard Not There (Reposting -- PLEASE PROVIDE HELP!)Subject: Camera and scanner wizard not there?
From: "SteviG" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com>
Sent: 12/22/2003 5:46:15 AM
I have the same problem. My HP6200 and Canon G2 have
worked fine under XP until recently when I installed a new
TV Tuner Card (Ledtek) which is in a PCI slot not related
at all (I think) to this USB problem. I have checked with
the XP help pages (there was a problem with USB that was
supposed to have been fixed in Service Pack 1 back in
September of last year). I followed all the steps
recommended about deleting the devices and latest XP
compatible software for the HP and Canon. But what I
really don't understand is why in the Scanner Camera
window of the Control panel, the "add hardware" line on
the left side doesn't respond to any clicks. What is the
show stopper here? SteviG

- Windows XP >> Welcome ScreenFollowing a tip in one of the posts here, I ran "CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2" so
that the Welcome Screen in my Windows XP Pro would not flash after the
boot-up. (The Windows XP Pro was the OS a technician placed in my computer
in place of my former ME which became unbootable. I don't have the CD, and
apparently he uses the XP Pro to put on different puters.) Anyway, I found
that the "use password for log on" was checked but that no password was
used. The aforesaid tip said to uncheck the need for the password. So I
added a password but unchecked the password box. Now when I boot up I get
two additional messages that I did not get before. One said that I was
unable to log on and to be sure that I used the proper case in my password
(I never was prompted to use a password.) I checked OK, the box disappeared
and the underlying box asked me to state who was logging on, the
administrator or me. I checked me, and then I got my usual welcome screen.
This is no big deal, but I'd like to at least get back to where I was
before.

- Windows XP >> Internal ErrorI have a program that ran OK on Win98 and the documentation (several years
old) says it will work on WinNT. When I try to run it in WinXP it won't run
at all. I get a beep and a little window comes up that says Internal Error
(a red X in a circle) and main2_w, 150.
Anyone have any clue about this?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Windows Vista / XPHello all,
I have researched back through earlier posts, and none I saw revealed the
question I need.
I have my Desktop pc, and for Xmas, gave a laptop pc with Vista installed.
Unfortuntlly, the "group sale" (pc, printer, router) was great to have, it
came loaded with a minimum of software.
She is needing a word processing program.
From my pc, I have the Works Suite (2004), along with many others.
Can software for XP be used for Vista ??
By the way, I need a new keyboard ... this one misspells terribly ...
Thanks all ....
