- Windows XP >> Search function has stopped searchingI'd been using my Windows XP Professional for about 6
months when it stopped searching. I'll search for a file
I know is on the drive and the answer comes back "Search
is complete. There are no results to display." It
appears the only items it finds are those ON the desktop
and nothing in any other file. I've tried reseting all
of the "controls" without success.
I'm an Elementary School Principal with numerous files
with "teacher" in them, yet NO results.
HELP!

- Windows XP Security >> File and Print Sharing QuestionI have a question about File and Print Sharing in relation to
Administrator shares (C$, Admin$, IPC$). My question is, does File
and Print Sharing have to be installed AND enabled in order for me to
access Administrator shares? From what I read in other newsgroup
posts, all that matters is that File and Print Sharing is installed
(this installs/starts the Server service) but you do not have to
enable it (I disabled by unchecking the box next to File and Print
Sharing after I installed it).
However I tested this and it appears that I cannot access the
Administrator shares on that machine from my machine. I get this
error message:
Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is
correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If
Windows still cannot find the network path, contact your network
administrator.
Here is some additional info:
-I am not the system administrator, but I added my account to the
Administrators group on the machine where I disabled File and Print
Sharing.
-Both machines are WinXp Pro.
-If I type net share at the machine where I disabled File and Print
Sharing, I can still see the Administrator shares.
-I verified the Server service is running
-If I enable File and Print Sharing, I can access the Administrator
shares. However my client will not accept having File and Print
Sharing enabled.
Thanks in advance,
Joey

- Windows XP >> Mounted DVD causes memory problemsI had a problem with explorer.exe loading over 350MB into memory and
swapping in and out of VM virtually locking the system.
I tracked the problem down to a DVD as an ".img" file mounted using
Alcohol1120. While the image file was mounted any use of windows (eplorer
below a couple of levels) would trigger the memory usage.
I discovered that if the same file is renamed to ".iso" then mounted the
problem does not recurr.
I have not seen any other references to this problem and was wondering if
anyone had any comments. Is it likely that the way my system is configured
to treat .img is causing this. If so what settings/ keys are likely
suspects.
".img" is not a registered file type on my system.

- Windows XP >> IP address not "findin" automatically as it shouldI was hit with lightening yesterday and had to get a new cpu and router. One
of my machines identifies the IP address correctly, but the second is unable
to complete the connection to the internet. The router company says it is a
system problem rather than a router problem. Can someone advise???

- Windows XP Setup >> Reinstall of XP Pro restarts at start of GUII had a problem w/ my XP Pro SP1 install, so I reinstalled "in place" from
the SP1 CD (i.e. not a clean install).
When install's GUI phase starts, the mouse cursor appears and turns into a
"wait" cursor for a few seconds, then the machine reboots. I never see
the normal status screen of the GUI phase.
I've tried re-doing the "in place" install several times, to no avail.
I've searched through USENET and the Microsoft web site and tried several
suggestions, none of which helped.
I can boot the machine to another partition, but would really like to get
this install up and running.
I'm at a loss to try to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Hidden mass storage deviceI just plugged in a mass storage device through a USB port, and it appears as

I go to "My Computer" and the device is not there.
I deinstalled, rebooted, turned off all security, and plugged the device in

I opened "Device Manager" and everything seems in order.

- Windows XP >> File sorting issueFile sorting issue
Here is a collection of emails/postings - all wanting the same thing
(Folders first then files most recent first) Does anyone know of a
solution?
Thanks,
Shawna
Begin Paste
-------------
I recently changed to XP.
For the order of files in a directory I usually use Details or List
then often sort the file/folder listing into date order with most
recent on top. In 98 this arrangement listed the folders at the
beginning. Thus when I open a folder I immediately see the list of
subfolders (in case I want to go deeper or transfer a recent file to a
folder) followed by recent files in case I want to use one again or
move it to a subfolder. I usually find this arrangement by far the
most convenient.
But, XP puts the folder list on the bottom instead of leaving them at
the top. This is *very* inconvenient.
Is there a way to make XP sort/order file/folder lists like 98 does
it?

Hi, I have been using Windows XP since it came out. I still miss
Win98 in the following respect:
In many directories, I like to use the "details" view that windows
explorer provides, and set it to show me the most recently modified
files.
Back in Win98, this view combination shows folders first - and then
files. (Most recent folder to least recent folder, then most recent
file to least recent file.)
This way, at a glance, you could see all recently changed files and
all folders without resorting or scrolling down to the end of what may
be a very long list of files.
I loved it that way, it made sense, it was convienient.
In Windows XP, this behavior was changed. Someone decided to make it
harder.
Either you can list:
Files shown first ( most recent file to least recent file), and then
folders (most recent folder to least recent folder).
or
Files first (least recent to most recent), and then folders (least
recent to most recent).
So, my "simple" question is: how can I make Windows XP show folders
first, and then files like Win98?
thanks!
---------------
Ultimately I wish to Arrange the Icons inside my Folders thus:
All concurrently in "details":
1st by: Sub folders (Alphabetically a-z)
2nd by: Links (Alphabetically a-z)
3rd by: Zipped folders (Alphabetically a-z)
4th by: regular files (by Date with newest files at the top)
Then, set that regime to apply to all folders
If that can't be done I would settle for say:
All concurrently in "details":
1st by: Sub folders (Alphabetically a-z)
2nd by: all files (by Date with newest files at the top)
Then, set that regime to apply to all folders
Is any of this possible? I believe this would greatly assist me in
locating my files.
Thanks,

- Windows XP Support >> Owner account changed to "Account Unknown"Help! My owner account (where most of my files are) has been magically
changed to "account unknown" under the System Properties/Advanced/User
Profiles. I "see" the "Account Unknown" listed, but I am unable to access
it. I tried signing in as the administrator, but no luck. I checked Windows
help online, but no luck. I called Sony Vaio support, (support?), no luck.
I am running XP Home Edition SP2 will all updates.
I have found out that the files aren't gone, according to online readings,
but getting to them is another matter. I'm a minister and all of my
sermons/funerals/baptisms/etc. are connected with the "Owner" profile. Yes,
I know, back up... I have the hard copies, but that's not real helpful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Repair Installation problemsTo cut a moderately long story short I was having problems booting Windows XP
and was getting an error message saying that "load needed DLL's for kernel".
I searched for solutions to this and found that the recommended solution by
microsoft was a repair install which I am now trying to do. However after
booting from the CD and starting the repair install process booting windows
now takes several minutes which it didn't before and all that happens after
this period is the setup window appears, tells me that it will take 39
minutes to finish the installation but then quickly goes wrong saying that
"setup failed to install the product catalouges" and gives the error code of
3e7 which means nothing to me.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

- Windows XP Network >> HELP linking two routers end to endI bought a Netgear router RP114 so I can use VPN but I still need to
have my other computer go through my old router Panasonic KX-HGW200.
I hooked up the Netgear and it works great.
I hooked the Panasonic to the Netgear and can not access the
Internet?
I changed the ip range on the two routers so they don't overlap.
Can you please help me out?
Is there a way to configure the routers so that the Panasonic works
off the Netgear?
Thanks for you help.

- Windows XP Network >> Networking, XP, Win95, LinksysI live in the middle of an area where the only high speed
internet is Satelite. The only way satelite can be
received is through the USB. I have a old WinME machine
that accepted the internet from the satelite and then
shared it through the extra NIC card I had which fed into
a linksys router. In an attempt to share the internet
faster I am using a laptop with XP home. I have the
internet working through the USB and I have a connection
to the router but I cannot share the internet. How do I
share the internet in Windows XP Home?....through a
linksys router.

- Windows XP Setup >> SP2 and network problemsHi,
I am a network administrator trying to test SP2 before I
deploy it across my network. All my machines are
connected to an Active Directory Server that Runs Windows
2000. When I install SP2 on my test machine, I am able to
log into the network and then shortly after it appears
that I lose network connectivity. I cannot access network
resources and renew/repair my network adapter/IP address.
I have disabled the new WinXP firewall, but no luck. If I
remove SP2, then everything goes back to working
properly. Anyone else have a problem like this?
Thanks for any help.

- Windows XP Network >> My attempt at a network in detailThis is a followup to my last post. The original message
is below it.
As I said in my previous message, I am using a D-link
DI624 wireless router. The router is connected to my DSL -
and DSL into the router. My computer is in the first port
of the router. The other computer was using dial-up an an
internet connection but is at times receiving the DSL
connection. I have tried numerous settings for the Wizard,
but nothing is working. I have not set up an internet
gateway on either of the computers, it says the router is
working as the gateway just fine.
I hope this info is more helpful to you, since I am
completely baffled.
Thanks again.
