- Windows XP Hardware >> Blue Screens....im desperateOS- Windows XP Pro Edition
Motherbaord - Soltek SL-75FRN2
Ram - DDR 400 512mb, one chip
Display card - Nv Geforce Fx5200
Im am having on my new custom made computer 3 weeks old.
It frequently crashes to blue screens sometimes in
reference to portcls.sys, nv4_mini.sys and some time
restarts. This is and i stress usually when i am playing
high spec games and or many applications are open. I have
been and had the mainboard and ram replaced to see if
that fixed it. I have also run a diagnostics test that
all passes except for one section called Stride6. All
windows files are fine and drivers are all up to date.
In device manager on thing is exclamation marked, the wdm
video capture (universal) could there be a problem with
the video card? Hardware temperatures are all normal.
would compatibility be an issue? I have no idea what to
do. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Transferring collections to a different Windows UserHow do I transfer or copy my collections to another Windows User on the
same computer?
I just started using Windows Movie Maker. After working with it for awhile,
I decided to set up a separate Windows User, to use Movie Maker in.
Now I would like to move all the collections I've been working on to this
new user, but I can't figure out how. I tried copying the MEDIATAB1.DAT
file to the corresponding directory for the new user, but then when I start
Movie Maker as that user, it doesn't use that file. In fact, it deletes
that file and replaces it with a new one, with no collections.
- Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Windows XP RepairAfter I changed the mother board etc on my computer I did a repair set up of
XP which seemed to work OK except that at one stage (nothing particular
happening) the screen went blue due to a stop situation and then a message
appeared:
Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disc
Followed by a count down to about 100 and then the computer rebooted and
everything was OK.
An error message was sent to Microsoft which said something about a paging
error in a non paging area and suggested an updated graphics driver. As the
driver was the latest NVidia driver I am somewhat perplexed as to what
actually happened. Any suggestions please?
Cheers

- customize >> Windows explorer folder propertiesWhen I right click on a folder in windows explorer and
select the properties option, the size, numer of files
and subfolders displays 0. It used to display the size
and the contents of the folder. Can someone help me
figure out how to fix this option so that I can get
accurate values?
These are not system folders. It's occurring on all of
my folders. For example, in My Documents I have a folder
that I use to put various recipes into, that includes sub
folders for dishes, such as deserts, appetizers and the
like. I track the properties so that when the folder is
large enough I can burn it onto a cd.
Any ideas of why the properties will not display any
values?

- Windows XP Security >> Changing User AccountPosted this also in general
We have several computers in our office that were set up with Administrator
user accounts. I want to change the accounts to either a restricted user or
Power user. When I first tried changing to a restricted user I had a few
problems they were:
1. AutoCad would not open. Stated I needed to reinstall.
2. Could not open up a word document. Did not have rights to.. Just on one
machine, others were fine.
3. Half of the favorite links in Explorer did not work.
Changed user to a power user and it fixed problem 1. Have had to change user
back to administrator.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dwayne

- Windows XP Hardware >> JMicron Technology Corp - GIGABYTE GBB36X ControllerI downloaded a hardware update from the windows update website with the
result that my dvd-rw is no longer accessable (i.e. not visible in "my
computer"). I know for a fact that this occurs only when drivers are
installed on my machine that deal with raid configurations etc (my
motherboard doesn't support this (GA965-DS3)). I learnt this through trial
and error when installing the motherboard drivers that came on the driver cd
and had the same missing dvd-rw drive scenario occur. This is what happens
when companies cut corners and ship 1 driver cd for different model
motherboards i guess.
The solution to getting my dvd-rw back when I installed the motherboard cd
driver was simply to un-install it and everything worked fine. However I
can't seem to uninstall this infernal windows update hardware version of
Gigabyte's raid driver as upon reloading Windows it now detects my hardrive
as a new pieve of hardware and promptly re-installs the driver downloaded
through windows update. The other annoying thing is that now I have a icon in
the on my taskbar that represents a plug and play piece of hardware (my hard
drive) and when I go to eject it it of course says it can't...no duh!
So I ask 2 things:
1. How to I un-install this driver that exhibits alot of characteristics
akin to spyware.
2. Microsoft needs to be more careful which 3rd party companies it allows
into their update service.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Partitioning ProblemI am running XP SP2 on one of my machines at work. When I attempt to use
Disk Management to create a second partition of the C-drive (the drive is
more than half empty), tt indicates that the entire drive is taken up by the
original partition, and I get no option to make a second partition. I am
logged on as Administrator.
Do you have any idea what is blocking my attempt to make a second partition?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Problem Saving A Edited ClipTrying to learn video terminology.
I edit a clip properly. The trim line is at the proper spot.
I split or cut and save the new clip.
I know that split and cut are 2 different actions.
Tried both-No luck.
What I don't understand is: When I get out of MM2 and then go
back, why does the original full clip show up instead of the edited
clip?
Example: Play clip to remove commerical. Commerical cut or split.
New clip saved. Get out of program and later restart. The
commerical is still there.
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) What happens to the clip I saved?
Thanks in advance

Windows XP >> Locating files/folders in XP Pro
I am trying to locate a folder by going to My Computer.
I can't find the folder going through this channel but
the folder is listed when I open up another software
program.
i.e. c:/documents and settings/username/application
data/yahoo messenger/username/receive
Anyone know how I can locate this folder without going
through this image manager?

It's probably a Hidden folder. Change your folder options
to show hidden and system folders. And choose Windows
Explorer to search by holding the Windows key + E.

Start | Run | c:\documents and settings/*Your name goes

directly there. Note the slashes. Copy and paste it into the Run Open: box.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

- Windows XP Support >> Printer only shows up under admin loginI have a public XP PC and the installed network printer shows up under
Admin login, but is not available for the User (public) login. It used
to be, but a user pointed out that it's gone. The add print wizard
can't find it either. I don't understand, I thought if the admin added
it, it should show up under the user login. This is the way I set it up
in the past and on several other machines. Is there a hidden check box
somewhere that hides or uninstalls the printer from one login?
