- Windows XP >> problem with pc gamesI was able to install one of three children's games that
are xp compatible. When I tried to install the other two,
I received a message saying...."Arthur's Computer
Adventure has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvienence...... Send error report
or don't send " and then it goes back to the desktop. I
really need some help with this, I don't know where to
look for answers. I get the same message when I put a web
site in that doesn't exist.....it says microsoft has
encountered a problem and needs to close. It's a new
computer and meets all the requirements that the pc game
box specified. What's going on?

- Windows XP Hardware >> USB 2.0 Flash Drive and my Floppy DriveOkay when I use my Pine Flash Drive that I got for
christmas, or rather when I pull files off of it, the
floppy drive just goes out of control with all of the
clicking and griding noises that it makes when its
pulling stuff off of the floppy.
WTF is this?

- Windows XP Hardware >> FloppyI am running Windows XP and it doesn't recognise that I have a floppy drive.
I recently tried out a mate's Harddrive in my computer which, in hindsight,
may have had a virus. Could this be the cause? I have put my HDD back but
how do I sort out recognition of my floppy drive?
Thanks for any help.

- Windows XP Setup >> WMI: Access is Denied after Win2K to XP UpgradeI have just upgraded a laptop from Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 to Windows XP
Service Pack 2 and since doing so I cannot get access to WMI data. I've also
noted the following symptoms:
- Can't see any Network Connections in the Network Connections folder.
- Receive an error 0x800A0046 when running Windows Updates.
- Receive the message WMI: Access is denied when looking at service
dependencies.
- Receive the message "Can't collect information" when using MSinfo.
- Receive the message "WMI: Access is Denied" when looking at the properties
of WMI Control under Computer Management.
So far I've:
- Done everything in Knowledge Base articles 254631 and 823775
- I've run the command "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132
%windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf" to rebuild the WMI database.
- I've reregistered all the WMI components.
- I've deleted the repository folder (and saw that it was recreated).
- I've checked that the SERVICE account has the "Impersonate a client after
authenitcation" permission.
- I've checked that all necessary services are running with the correct
credentials.
- I've checked the DCOM default impersonate and authenication levels.
- I've removed the machine from the domain.
- I've checked and compared the registry permissions to a working machine
using AccessEnum for SysInternals.
- I've run an inplace upgrade (repair) install, starting from Windows and
starting from booting from the CD.
I'm pretty sure this is simply a permissions problem, but can't for the life
of me find where the problem is. Is there anything else to try before a
clean install?
Thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> Puzzling USB Flash Drive BehaviorHi and thank you for reading.
I have twp XP computers and 4 Flash drives.
Computer A is my employers; a Dell Lattitute and is assigned to a domain, XP
Pro.
Computer B is my wife's, a HP Media Center, new in December 2005, XP Media.
We shasre a router at home; but the PCs don't share files, etc. because of
my employers security issues. That's fine: we share on the necessary data on
USB 2.0 flash memory sticks.
Both computers have rear (full 2.0) USB ports, from ports (who knows?) and
powered Belkin 7 port hubs.
Flash Drive 1 is generic, USB 2.0, holds our Quicken files, works on both
PCs, both powered hubs no problem. Is assigned drive letter Q on both
machines. (somestimes I pay the bills, sometime she does.)
Flash Drive 2 is generic, USB 2.0, holds our Filemaker Pro addressbooks.
Great for Chistmas cards. Is assigned drive letter X on both machines.
Flash Drive 3 is new. USB 2.0. PNY 512K. Works fine on my Dell. Both in
real ports and on the hub. Is assigned drive letter T on the Dell.
Flash Drive 4 is new. USB 2.0. Sony 128K. Works fine on my Dell. Both in
real ports and on the hub. Is assigned drive letter Y on the Dell.
Problem: Same for both Flash Drive 3 and 4, but not 1 and 2: 1and 2 work
fine on the HP.
* The HP with XP Media recognizes and identifies the PNY and Sony Flash
drives correctly, but seeks and fails to find a driver for them (although
drive 1 and 2 are using the USB 2 Mass Storage diver.) It cannot find a
driver in D:\i386, where Windows was placed by HP, nor on E:\i386, the
Windows CD, nor anywhere else I send it to look.
* I have located Win98 drivers for both drives, but am reluctant to try to
install them.
* There are tons of other USB peripherals attached and working fine:
scanner, Wacom tablet, two printers, Palm synch, cameras, wireless keyboard &
mouse, bluethooth adaptor et cetera.
* I have tried them carefully in the rear ports, the from ports, and the
powered hub. Same result.
* Both show the yellow circle, not under USB controllers, but, I think,
under storage devices or USB devices in the Device manager. (I'm not at that
Pc as I write.)
This seems like something odd I've done that I should be able to fix.
-> Does not seem likely that the driver would have a limit of 2 devices.
-> Perhaps by assigning a letter on PC A I've confused PB B? Can I unassign
cleanly? would that work?
-> Can I "wrap" the driver in an INF file and direct the seeking installer
to it?
Really, it isn't terribly important. We can get by with the drives that do
work. But it is terribly puzzling, and I'd love to understand what is going
on.
Thank you for any suggestions anf help!

- Windows XP Setup >> Says I need to activate Windows but already activeI lost my hard drive and during the re-installation, it
locked up after 2nd re-installation. Third time was charm
but it did not ask for a key code. Now I get a message
after rebooting that Windows XP need to be activated. When
I click on it, it then says, Product is already activated.

to normal. Any quick fixes for this problem?
Thanks in advance,

- Windows XP Setup >> Activation on Several ComputersI recently bought a copy (only one because of the
extremely high cost) of XP Professional with the view of
installing on my three home computers which I have already
upgraded hardware wise. Now I find that some sort of
activation is requuired after installation. This
activation seems as if it will limit installation of my
one copy of XP Pro to one computer.
What steps can I take in order to install my copy of SP
Pro on my three home computers?
Thanks for any advice.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> audio playback problem solved!I have had the problem reported by some here that when
playing the timeline, sometimes the audio doesn't for 5 to
20 seconds after the start of the video, if it starts at
all. In fact, if I saved a project, I could successfully
play the timeline once, immediately after opening the
project, but attempts to rewind the timeline and play it
again would result in delayed audio start, or no audio at
all.
Looking through the notes on papajohn.org, I saw reports
about audio playback difficulties associated with WinDVD
version 4, which came preinstalled on my Dell notebook.
The reported symptoms were different than mine
(e.g. "chipmunk sounds", clipping sounds), but the fix is
the same -- I uninstalled WinDVD and my problem is
solved. I have not yet tried installing WinDVD version 5
which reportedly resolves the underlying issue(s).

Windows XP Support >> Windows crashes before login screen
My PC boots up normally until the point where the cursor appears on th
screen (just before the login screen appears) then it shuts down an
reboots again. It will repeat this process for as long as you leave i
switched on.
I tried doing a repair from the XP disc but it asks for th
administrator password which I don't have, and don't remember settin
when I upgraded from Win 98. Current OS is XP Pro, I presume the fil
system is fat as it was an upgrade from 98. :mad

If you didn't set up a password it's likely blank. You can try to squat the
password with this tool:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
Have you tried to get in via safe mode and doing a restore? If you can get
into safe mode (go ahead and try last known good configuration as well) then
disable automatic reboots on error. WinKey + Pause/Break > Startup and
Recovery Settings > UNtick Automatically restart. Then you'll have the error
code(s) generated and you can troubleshoot the problems a bit easier.
Safe Mode :

To do a repair installation, as it seems you tried though I think that was
probably the recovery console you were trying, this would be a good link:

- Windows XP >> cache questionI use google a lot and I notice that it keeps track of search parameters. I
know that this is some cache stored on my machine and have tried clearing it
using the internet options dialog box, under the general tab but clearing
history, cookies and temp files has no effect on this. Where is this info
stored and how do I clear it?
Thanks In Advance

- Windows XP >> Hiden folders in temporary internet files folderSome portions of XP Pro (Eg. Explorer, Search for files) ignore the folders
in the temporary internet files folder. There is no indication that there
are any folders there. Using the command prompt to set the current directory
to the temporary internet files folder you can see the hidden folders. All
relevant folder options controlling hiding files and folders, hiding
protected operating system files, etc., have been set to show everything
possible.
Questions: Is there a way to control this behavior? If something is there, I
want to see it. Are there other folders that get this special treatment?

In Windows XP screen save you can set up a 'slide show' extracting random

way of setting it up so that it shows all the images within the folder
(before it starts again), preferably in sequence?
Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> SP2 and Internet accessI have a long list of issues with my machine right now and tried to remedy
them by backing up and reistalling windows XP. However, all is not well with
audio, video and various other drivers.
Error reporting recomends that I install SP2 but when I do so my internet
connection, although present, is very limited in that it 'comes-and-goes'. I
have a 1meg connection supplied by Blueyonder (Telewest) but the issue is
apparently not with them but with SP2. I have now removed SP2 and the
connection is fine again.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can anyone perhaps advise me as
to what is causing the connection issue?

- Windows XP >> Minimizing Open Applications to TaskbarFor a while I have not been able to minimize an application to the taskbar
for re-expanding later.
When I minimze an application it disappears completely from the screen and
does not appear on the taskbar. If I click on the application icon a new
window with a newly loaded application appears.
I am guessing I may have "reset" a setting accidentally somewhere along the
way, but can't figure out what it is.
Any ideas? Thanks.
