  - Windows XP >> Install Registry Entry with Startup Login ScriptHi,
    
    I have a .bat file which has a command that installs a registry entry. I
    have this .bat file execute at system startup through group policy. The
    things is it not working at system startup. If i login and execute it, it
    will then install. Anyone know why? is it something to do with the system not

  - Windows XP Setup >> Can't see D drive after upgrading to XPI just upgraded to XP (From 98SE). I have a pentium III
    500mghz machine with 2 hard drives (c=20Gig(WD), and
    d=80Gig(WD)). After I upgrades to XP, windows will not
    recognize the D drive (although the device managers see a D
    drive, but when I use explorer, it cannot read it and asks
    to format it). Also, the device manager thinks that it is a
    32Gig drive not 80Gig.

  - Windows XP Setup >> Need help with XP Pro install to a Serial ATA drive - getting error every time and want someone to explain it please!! It's driving me nuts!!I am trying to install XP Pro with SP2 slipstreamed onto a Serial ATA Drive.
    
    At the commencement of the process I have to press F6 to install the SATA
    drivers.
    
    Everything goes fine until I have selected the required driver and press the
    Enter key to load it.
    
    At that point I get the following error message:
    
    "File \WINXP\fasttx2k.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2113 in
    d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\oemdisk.c."
    
    I tried installing XP Pro from the original disk and got a virtually
    identical error message:
    
    "File \WINXP\fasttx2k.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in
    d:\xpsp1\base\boot\oemdisk.c."
    
    I have learnt elsewhere that the error (18) relates to some problem with a
    file location, but I have no idea what the heck is going on.
    
    I would really appreciate it if someone who can interpret this mess would
    explain it to me please!

Windows XP Network >> How to connect XP Home and Win2K? Hi,

currently my network system is configured as follow,

D-Link Internet Router-> desktop running Win2K
-> laptop running XP Home

i.e. the Internet Router is connecting to both desktop running Win2K and
laptop running XP Home.

Both are able to connect connect to Internet, but when I want to share or
transfer files between them it's not possible.

How do I overcome this problem?

I'm a newbie to setting up a Intranet

Thks.

Regards

Windows XP535

  - Windows XP Hardware >> Device driver found (Generic softK56), then system crashIm not the one who needs the help, but since my friend
    cant start his computer anymore and because of this Im
    the one who asks you.
    He gets an window that says Device driver found (Generic
    softK56), he doesn't even have an modem installed to his
    computer because he is using network-based modem (dont
    know what else to call it), then the computer works for
    another ~10 secs. and then it crashes. Does anyone know
    what it is and how to fix it?

  - Windows XP Network >> Lost XP LoginI have done this 3 times and now I am at a loss of what to do to correct it.
    I install XP on my machine and tell it to update from the web and then
    install a completely new copy on the drive.
    
    During install I am asked for a computer name, which I give, then later a
    username, which I give and I am asked to join a domain or a workgroup. I
    elect domain and gain access, setup continues.
    
    When setup is complete it re-boots and I get to the Windows Logon Screen. I
    enter the password, it tells me I can't logon, I click options, select the
    domain, enter the password and logon to the desktop. Thats all fine.
    
    I can see computers on the network. I can re-boot, log off and log on, etc.
    just fine.
    
    Then I go to System properties and to change to a workgroup. I enter the
    workgroup name, click OK and it tells me Welcome to the workgroup, then tells
    me I have to re-boot for the changes to take effect. I re-boot.
    
    When I get to the Windows Logon screen, I have the same username, etc.
    already in the window, I enter the password and it won't let me lonon and to
    make sure the username and domain are correct.
    
    I click Options and all it does is remove the shutdown button.
    
    I can't go any farther.
    
    Does anyone know what is going on?
    
    Thanks,

  - Windows XP Network >> Modifying default routes. Use route.exe?Hello,
    
    Does anyone know if it's possible to modify the metrics on two default
    gateways from a command line or something that can be executed
    automatically without requiring a user to make advanced manual
    alterations to the tcp/ip network settings?
    
    Currently on startup (having set the metrics manually), the routing
    table looks like this where the second default gateway is only used if
    the first one is dead. This works okay.
    
    ===========================================================================
    Active Routes:
    Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface
    Metric
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.7.1 192.168.7.50
    1
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.7.2 192.168.7.50
    20
    127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
    1
    192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.7.50 192.168.7.50
    25
    192.168.7.50 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
    25
    192.168.7.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.7.50 192.168.7.50
    25
    224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 192.168.7.50 192.168.7.50
    25
    255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.7.50 192.168.7.50
    1
    Default Gateway: 192.168.7.1
    ===========================================================================
    Persistent Routes:
    None
    
    I would like to occasionally switch the metrics around on these
    gateways so that 192.168.7.2 is used first but I don't know how to do
    it automatically.
    
    Whatever I do with the route command, I always end up with a single
    default gateway.
    
    Perhaps there is something other than route.exe I can use?
    
    Jim.

  - Windows XP Update >> Task Manager and Windows UpdatesI have noticed that my task manager has changed - when I choose it, it
    doesn't have the top where you can choose different windows (such as tasks
    running, performance, etc.). Also, when I tried to download windows update
    multiple times, it would download the files, but be unable to install it -
    the bar would finish going all the way to the right, but then a screen would
    pop up saying that windows had failed to install. Finally, I tried to run
    Norton Anti-Virus, and it said I didn't have enough disk space to run
    it...does anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks!

  - Windows XP Perform Maintain >> files and settings transfer ??My question may or may not be simple...I have always had a problem with sp2
    and have had to remove it more than once ..I would like to reinstall it
    however I want to do it by adding my programs to it (slipstreamed xp disc)
    rather than adding sp2 to my system and finding out that there is still a
    problem and having to once again remove it....Can I use the files and
    settings wizard to copy all my programs onto another drive then reinstall
    windows on this drive than transfer them back ?? Any advice or a different
    way to accomplish what I need would be incredibly appreciated...
