- Windows XP Hardware >> cannot shutdown after resume from standby/hibernateHas anyone had this problem? After I standby or hibernate
(manual or automatic after timer period) and then resume,
I can no longer shut down Windows XP.
I am running SP1, and suspect it MAY be related (had no
problems months ago), but don't want to re-install WinXP
just to find out. I could have done something else to
make it stop working.
I believe the message is "Preparing to shutdown" when
everything hangs. A key note here is that even the mouse
freezes. (I know some problems occur but the mouse can
still be manipulated)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

- customize >> All programs menu items???I tried to get an answer to this over at the "help & support" group but no
answer. Maybe someone can shed some light on this. I'm stumped.
Windows XP as Administrator
I right clicked on "Start" and "open". I then double-click on "programs" and
find that many (over 50%) of the icons are missing. I went to the same file
for all users and find that there are more icons but, still, not all.
What I want to do is setup All Programs more efficiently and this is the way
I've always done it. Is there any way to get the programs to show?
Thanks, Dan

- Windows XP Security >> Silly security policy questionHello,
I am new to a mixed workgroup environment running NT 4.0,
Windows 2000 and XP. For some time, we have been running
poledit.exe from NT 4.0 to lock down our desktops that
reside in a public environment. We have been applying
this policy to both NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. For the
first time today, we were trying to apply the policy to
Windows XP and have not had very much luck. I have been
unable to find any definitive documentation that states
when poledit.exe became obsolete. Can I use it on XP or
not?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

- Windows XP Network >> Network and Driver issuesMy parents own a small business using a LAN to control
POS. After a recent thunderstorm, all computers
restarted as the power flickered. Upon restarting, the
office computer showed a message asking if we wanted to
install an ethernet controller. This is where she called
me.
After examining the computer, and going to Device
Manager, I find a exclamation under Other
Devices/Ethernet Controller. I am unable to install any
drivers to this device. I also noticed that there is a
WAN network driver already installed. I'm not sure, but
I don't think we need the new driver that the computer
wants to install. I have tried uninstalling this device
and have tried to disable it, but still this computer can
not see or be seen on the network. I have tried using
system restore but after restoring to yesterday, the
computer still restarts asking to install this device. I
hope my problem is presented clearly, please help. Thanks

- Windows XP >> Explorer Thumbnail title incorrectSome of my thumbnails in W.Explorer have the filenames mixed - tho' not in
filmstrip view! And only some of them.
So the filename/title does not relate to the thumbnail, but is correct for
filmstrip (showing that the title is correctly connected to the jpeg image).
I've had this before, but it seemed to evetually go away. But now it is back
with a vengence. Closing W.Explorer, running TuneUp fixiing program, or
Rebooting doesn't remedy this problem.
Any ideas please?

- Windows XP >> MI5 Persecution: Dirk Gently on the Toronto CaseDirk was on the West Coast when he got the call. An old
friend at the Toronto police department thought he would like
to fly up and take a look at a homicide which had occurred
the previous evening. He decided to skip the last day at the
World Holistics conference and take the next plane out of
San Francisco.
The flight was bad; Dirk had been hit on the back of the head
by the Newspaper trolley, the drinks trolley, the dinner trolley
and now the gift trolley. When the hostesses weren?t trying to
tear his arm off they pestered him to stop leaning into the aisle
- ignoring the fact that the guy next to him was taking up one and
a half seats. Air Canada used to be the flight which was so
good you just didn?t wanna get off - on this occasion Dirk
would be glad to see the back of the plane and the over sized
alternative comedian wedged into the window seat.
After breathing in a couple of lungfulls of crisp Canadian air
Dirk took a taxi into town. There was a small group of
demonstrators outside the MacDonalds and the taxi driver
insisted on stopping on the opposite side of the street. ?Don?t
Eat Meat? the placards read and the demonstrators chanted. A
couple of policemen where stopping the crowd entering the
restaurant itself - one held up his arm and challenged Dirk. A
wave of the fax he had been sent and the policeman pushed
open the door.
There were few customers in the restaurant. Not surprising
really with a demonstration going on outside, half the dining
area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the
tables. ?Mr Gently sir? the officer in charge called out as he
peeled one end of the tape off a column ?We were told not to
touch anything til? you got here?.
The body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. Then
even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a
MacDonalds chair after twenty minutes - and this one had
been there for at least eighteen hours. Two back legs and the
tail of a cat hung out of the man?s gaping mouth. Dirk turned
to the officer, ?I suppose you are going to tell me this is the
darndest thing you ever saw??
?Ain?t this the darnd...?. The officer seemed annoyed that Dirk
had second guessed him. ?We?re removing the body in a few
minutes, so if you can get through as quick as possible?
?Many people eat cats in fast food restaurants?? Dirk asked
and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick
up an untouched burger. ?And what?s this?? he asked waving
it in front of the officers face.
?It?s a Vedgie Burger? The waitress, who was cleaning one of
the adjacent tables, shouted across. She walked over to Dirk.
?We started doing them because of that lot out there? she
nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces
against the windows ?They?re called Linda McCartney Vedgie
burgers - ever heard of them??
Dirk suddenly felt faint, perhaps a combination of hunger and
jet lag. ?This is deja vu all over again? he thought to himself.
He glanced at policemen - at the badge on his shoulder ?OPD?
but this wasn?t Ontario this was Toronto. OPD - Officially
Pronounced Dead. It dawned on Dirk what was happening, he
knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. Sure
enough, there it was, the Volkswagen Beetle parked across
the road - number plate 28IF - 28 IF Paul McCartney had
lived. And amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the
restaurant he could pick out the words ?I buried Paul?. Now it
was though Dirk was viewing the whole scene though a TV
screen. This was conspiracy. Not -a- conspiracy, or -the-
conspiracy, but just plain conspiracy.
?You look faint - are you OK mister? The waitress asked.
Dirk shook his head ?Probably a bit hungry? Then to
economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held
it out towards the girl. She was about to take one but Dirk
snatched the pack away, held it up to his mouth and drew out
two cigarettes. He lit both then passed one of them to the girl.
It was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three
months.
?Want a Burger?? the waitress asked.
Dirk looked down at the Vedgie Burger on the table. ?No
thanks - just a plate of fries?
The waitress walked away and Dirk looked around the room.
Apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only
one other person in the restaurant - and he wasn?t eating. The
guy was about mid twenties and had straggling, shoulder
length hair. On the table in front of him were lots of pieces of
paper cut into squares. Every so often he would pick up a
camcorder and pan it around the room and then, when he was
finished, speak into a microphone which was attached to a
tape recorder. Dirk walked over to where the man was sitting.
The small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on
them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard.
Lines had been drawn, some solid some dotted, on the table
top with a marker pen. The lines ran from one piece of paper
to another.
?What are the lines for?? Dirk asked, realising straight away
that ?What the hell are you doing?? would be more
appropriate.
?You see? The man replied nervously ?The dotted lines are
weak links and the solid lines are strong links. The dotted
lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world
and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. Now
you see I draw over a dotted line, replacing it with a solid line,
when I can link something back to me. Like this? The pen
squeaked over the Formica and before Dirk could interrupt
the man added. ?You see I lost my short term memory and, as
a consequence have a very short attention span. I write down,
record and film everything then put it all together later?
?So? Dirk interrupted. ?You filmed what happened here??
?Yes, yes, it?s here on this tape? The man pushed the cassette
across the table. On the label the words ?Grassy Knoll? had
been crossed through and replaced with ?MacDonalds?.
Suddenly the man sprung from his seat. Dirk turned and saw
that the body was being removed on a stretcher. As it passed
the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher
itself. ?This is important? he said, laying a blood stained bullet
on one of the small pieces of paper on the table.
Suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing
sound as a Black Helicopter landed in the street outside. Two
men in United Nations uniforms got out and collected the
stretcher. Back at the table the long haired man was replacing
all the dotted lines with solid ones. Dirk panicked and began
to walk backwards at some speed. Barging through the swing
doors he stumbled into the kitchen, tripped and felt himself
sink slowly into a large vat.
?The guys fallen into the batter? Dick heard someone shout
before he sunk below the surface. He came to sitting in a chair
with the batter solidifying all over his body. He surveyed the
room through two eye-holes someone had cut. Suddenly the
chair on which he was sitting was picked up carried through
the restaurant and out of the building. As the chair was being
lifted and put into the back of a van, Dirk caught a glimpse of
the waitress following him. ?Your fries mister, your
plate o...?.
The doors of the van shut and Dirk tried desperately to steady
himself as it sped across town. Eventually the doors flew open
and Dirk was flung into the road at which point the solidified
batter shattered and set him free. Standing up he found
himself outside the international departures terminal of
Toronto airport.
In the departure lounge Dirk had time to reflect on the day?s
events. He had got caught up in the conspiracy theories and
the haphazard welding together of pieces of irrelevant
information. It was time to catch the person who was
operating the bizarre cognitive engine which appeared in
front of him like a fairground mirror, distorting any flaw it
could find in his own, fragile, map of the real world.
Dirk leant into the aisle of the plane as it took off for London.
The oversized person next to him swung his arms violently as
he complained about every thing from the supper in a plastic
tray to the state of British politics. With a shaven head and a
badly fitting suit the man looked as though he could have
worked behind the reception desk of the Kremlin. However
when he spoke he did so in a Liverpudlian accent. ?Me I
blame the Con-serv-a-tive government, me. The Tour-rees.
That-cher. Me. They need a good kicking? He jerked his feet
forward and struck the seat in front with his Doc Martins.
?With these. Me Doc Martins. Doctor Martin?s, Doctor
Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s Booots!? The phrase was now
being sung over and over again as the man writhed in his seat
and clicked his fingers.
Dirk looked down at the boots and thought of the reaction
most people used to deal with the paranoids at the end of the
wire. A nice quick kick. ?Oi nutter - get some therapy?. This is
the easy way out and perhaps the safest. After all there you
are sat, alone, in front of the screen. No body language
between you some paranoid. No way of telling if he really is
some gibbering psycho. Look at it too long and you be drawn
in. Fall into the tangled database of weird links with him. Who
knows he may be watching you, reassembling and linking your
experiences with his. How sure are you of you own cognitive
threads. After all cognition is only a bug fix for a neurological
system which was designed in a hurry - it?s abused by
everyone from politicians to advertisers. If people really can
convince each other that a bottle of washing up liquid is as
exciting as an orgasm using just television God knows what
they can do with a computer. Better to avoid the risk. A swift
kick. After all if you?re Homophobic you put the boot in
because you are scared of any ambiguity in your own sexuality
- why not be Nutterphobic as well.
Although Dirk would have liked to devoted time to tracking
the culprit down he decided to let it rest. The Internet
changed over the next twenty odd years. A lot of the people
who used it went out and got lives. And those who already
had lives burnt them away. The number of users had dwindled
after someone had invented a C++ program, with truth as a
variable, to deal handle politics and government. Dirk had
already retired from finding old ladies cats with the help of
obscure science when he got another call from Toronto.
It was 4th March 2025 when he booked onto the Air Canada
flight from Heathrow. The silver haired woman in the seat
next to him painted bright red lipstick around her mouth. ?Of
course it was no surprise to be offered the job after Claire
Raynor retired? she sneered? After all I used to be a
psychiatric nurse... Now if Blokes had periods they would
understand...?
By chance the taxi ride to Toronto mental hospital took him
past the MacDonalds - where the whole thing had started. Of
course it was barely recognisable having become a Church Of
Scientology Vedgie Bar. Police in riot gear kept the two sets
of demonstrators apart. Dirk didn?t really know what to
expect when he got to the hospital. The girl at the reception
desk directed him to a row of chairs in a wide well lit
corridor. There was a strong smell of disinfectant, the
furniture and the carpets were immaculately clean and behind
the rows of teak veneer doors the ?nutters? were all safely
locked away. For some reason Dirk started thinking about
CompuServe forums.
A tall blond woman in a white coat approached. ?Mr Gentle, I
assume?
?Yes? Dirk replied shaking her by the hand. ?You?re the nurse
who...?
?Doctor? She interrupted, ?Doctor Killfile? She led Dirk across
the corridor towards one of the doors then stopped with her
hand resting on the handle. ?Now you know about this person
don?t you?? and after Dirk nodded she continued ?Don?t tell
him anything about yourself - don?t let him get into you head.
If he does he?ll screw it up?
The door opened to reveal a frail man sitting in from of a TV
screen. He had a keyboard on his lap and next to the television
was a computer screen. Dirk glanced at the walls of the room
and remembered that his settee at home need upholstering.
The nurse left the room and the man looked up ?So you come
to my daughters wedding and ask me to kill a man? he said in
a dry cackling voice. ?Look? he continued, pointing at the
screen, ?I know that man. They?re talking about me now -
listen?. The man stared at Dirk. ?What?s your name? Are you
one of my friends from the Internet? - Are the lambs still
screaming Dirk??
Dirk, at first recoiled in horror, then felt a sense of anti
climax. So this is what they hyped up to superstar status on
the back of their own fears of madness. Dirk was reminded of
the film ?A day on The Beach? where a submarine had set off
to search a post nuclear World to track down a signal coming
from a remote military base - only to find it was being sent by
a Coke bottle half balanced on a Morse tapper. Outside the
room the nurse waited for him. Because his nicotine craving
had returned - and to avoid an awkward piece of dialogue -
Dirk turned to her and asked . ?Patch??
Dirk took two nicotine patches from his wallet the first of
which he stuck onto the inside of his arm. Stepping closer to
Doctor Killfile he opened her white coat and slid his hand
into the opening at the front of her dress. He pressed the
patch onto her leg as close to the top of her inner thigh as
he dare. She took a deep breath and then slowly breathed out.
?What Bogart could have done with these things? Dirk
thought to himself.
?Is he crazy?? Dirk asked tilting his head back to towards the
door.
?Who knows? Doctor Killfile replied ?We let him type away.
He sees something on the TV in the morning and it keeps him
busy all day. What he types doesn?t go anywhere it just stays
on a mainframe in the basement. It can be read by anyone else
in the building but that?s it. We got them all in here conspiracy
theorists, racists, nationalists. They?ve created a world within
a world really...? Her voice trailed away and she stared down
the corridor for a while then added ?So long are two things
are different neither will come to be in the other and so
become at once both one and two.?
Dirk gave her a puzzled look ?You mean their brains are
fried??
?Fried?? Killfile smiled at Dirk ?No that was Plato?. Then the
smile fell from her face. ?You must remember, mister, plate
o...?

Windows XP Update >> WUA API Update DownloadContents collection empty for software updates
Hello,
Using WUA API in C++, I am trying to retrieve the download location for
each update using the DownloadContents collection property. This works
great for driver updates: they tend to have one UpdateDownloadContent
object, which contains a DownloadUrl property. However, software
updates return an empty DownloadContents collection.
Does anybody know why this might be? Is there another way to retrieve
the update download location?
Thanks so much,
Jill

Windows XP Update >> WUA API Update DownloadContents collection empty for software updates
Hi
It may be that you have to look at the update's child updates to get the
download content, since updates are bundled and the actual bundle won't have
download content.
Try to use Update.BundledUpdates to access the child updates and then
retrieve the download content.

- Windows XP Network >> "All Programs" Button On Start Menu Not Coming UpReally brief I have already searched the boards tried running "regsvr32 /i
shell32.dll" and I am extremely reluctant to edit my resgistry as I do not
think is the issue you anyway.
I have a laptop running Win Xp Pro. I log onto a domain at work which
automates runnning a script to update links that are only relevant to the
network. (It is our custom accounting software). Basically the programmer is
sparatically updating and this script allows for us to be sure all the
clients are running on the most current build. Anyway, on all my other
clients (about 20 machines) when the network is disconnected at logon the
script simply does not run but the All Programs button is still functional.
The links for the accounting software are dead as the target points to a
network link but the Programs button still work.
Now, the problem is when my computer is disconnected from the network (like
at home) i log in under the domain anyway because all of my files and
programs are here. Unfortunately now when I click on "Start" and then "All
Programs" the computer just hangs for about ten seconds and nothing happens.
A few other tidbits before i throw this out to all you experts.
If i hibernate the system (which i often do) before i leave work and then
start it bak up at home there is no issue. Obviously this is because I am not
logging in the unit is just bring me back to where i was. This only occurs
when i shut down and restart off network. I assumed in the past that my
computer is trying to run the script and it is not finding what it needs
therefore jsut locks out hte All Programs menu. The programmer assures me
that the script is inherit of logging onto the actuall network, basically the
script does not exist until you log on each and everytime. The programmer has
no idea why this is happening and obviously neither do i.
Also I already went to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/AllPrograms.htm and do not
feel like changing these regedits as none of it corresponded to my screens
and didn't make much sense to me.
I am no expert so any help would be greatly appreciated but please be
specific in what you ask or tell me to do as I do not want to screw up the
computer (as if that needs to be stated right)

Any help would be much appreciated on this subject, and pointers as to
resolve may end up in my offer of marriage to the person who help's the most

- Windows XP Support >> Big Problems w Outlook Express 6All of a sudden I started having problems with my e-mail. I need help
desperately, but I am not that knowledgeable with computers. I have a lot of
people mad at me...when I send e-mails, everyone gets it hundreds of times.
Also when I send an e-mail it doesn't appear in my sent box it automatically
goes into my outbox. Sometimes I can't receive e-mails, sometimes I can. I
am getting error reports, but I can't read them. I have called my cable
service and they checked everything out and said all my settings are correct.
Why then is this happening? Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

- Windows XP Network >> Missing Network Adapters (device manager)WinXPPro (corp) w/ sp1. No viruses detected. Had to recently go to a dialup. Was using 802.11g off of a broadband connect. After installing latest security patches and upgrades in anticipation of dialup, I installed my modem and loaded drivers. Diag. showed proper workings. could not connect. Modem will dial but never connect. went to Device manager and found no "network adapters" entry. It's completely missing. So I can't add a dialup adapter to properties. How do I install network adapters back to my device manager?

- Windows XP Network >> Checking Duplex mode?Hello all,
Is there any way to check my NIC's duplex mode (Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex) from Windows.
If not, what other ways can I determine which one it is using?
