- Windows XP >> Add/Remove ProgramsHi folks,
I've got several programs that are uninstalled but still appear on my
Add/Remove Programs list as if they are still operational. Could anyone
direct me as to how to remove the entries, preferably without having to
download and install programs to do it for me?
Many thanks for your time.

- Windows XP Support >> task manager - Number of processesI am not even sure where to start with this.
1. When I press ctrl-alt-delete, all at the same time I get a view of TASK
MANAGER.
2. Currently I have 47 processes running.
I am not sure what these are, what they are doing and if they are all
necessary. I am sure they are using resources that could be used elsewhere.
Where is a good place to start learning about these, which ones are
necessary, which ones are not necessary and how to stop the ones I don't
need to have running?
Thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> Dualview/Multiple monitorsHi
Ive got a laptop that uses dualview to allow me to attach
another monitor and see exactly the same thing on my LCD
screen and the other monitor.
Problem is I want to use powerpoint to show the slideshow
on one screen and the slides editor on the other. I
gather that this is the Primary/secondary monitor
function.
Can I disable the dualview or is there a workaround.
Cheers

- Windows XP Setup >> Adding audio cardA year or so ago I put an audio card on my son's computer, that had the
audio and video on the motherboard when we bought it. I had a
relatively major crash that was related to corrupted files in the boot
record, and I had to do a full recovery, reformatting the disk. I can't
find the driver disks for the audio card, but found some on the internet
and installed them. I recall when I first installed the audio card I
had to disable the built in audio to make it work, but I can't recall
how it was done. Any suggestions?

- Windows XP >> XP wants to burn all of my music files to CDHey y'all,
I just re-installed XP Pro and upgraded to WMP 11 (from 9).
When I boot up the PC I get a little yellow dialog box stating that I have
files waiting to be burned to CD. When I click on the dialog box, it opens
a window that has all of the folders from 'My Music' showing.
How do I tell it that I don't want to burn all of these files to CD?
I tried deleting one to see what would happen and it disappeared from 'My
Music'. I don't want to delete all of my music. lol
Any ideas?
TIA,
Mike W.

Windows XP Security >> XP repair problem
If the machine won't boot to the point where you can establish a dial up
connection, then you may have no choice but to make the phone call. Here in
the US its an automated system that only takes a couple of minutes to
complete.

Windows XP Security >> XP repair problem
Do you have the original product key? I've never dealt
with installations outside of the U.S., but that might be
what it's searching for. Otherwise, this is a perplexing
one.

- Windows XP Support >> Windows XP won't start. HELPWhen I turn on my computer Windows won't start. I get the Microsoft XP logo
at the beginning and then it goes to the blue screen with a small Windows XP
logo in the middle and then it stays like tat forever. I don't get any error
messages or anything that can tell me what's wrong.
I tried restarting my computer in Safe Mode but it does the same thing. I
also tried the different options in F8, all unsuccessful. It just gets stuck
on that screen.
Can someone tell me how I can fix this without having to use the recovery
disk? I don't want to loose any files. They are very important to me.
Thank you

- customize >> slipstreaming xp corporate files inquiryIs there a list kept somewhere that indicates what files are compatible with
svcpack.inf?
I slipstreamed all "critical" updates and hotfixes current as of today, but
I also combined the "recommended" updates as well.
Windows Media Player 9 doesn't seem too friendly as an error during XP
installation pops up saying system restore won't work if the "original"
windows media player (assuming its 8) isn't installed first, and that WMP9
should be installed separately.
Another error popped up defining the uses of switches which I was already
using: ie)
[SetupHotfixesToRun]
update.exe -q -n
Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N
Q819696.exe /Q /O /N /Z
/Q - Quiet mode
/Q:A - Administrator Quiet mode, which does not display any dialog boxes to
the user
/R:A - Always restart
/R:N - Never restart
/R:S - Silent restart
Since I know what these switches mean already, then I need to know what
updates will work and which ones won't.
Having a list of which updates are and are not compatible would sure be nice
for my WinXP Pro SP1 package.

- Windows XP >> "No Network Places"We have several Win XP Pro machines on a small office
network. On a few of them (and the list seems to change
from time to time), if you browse to My Network Places in
Windows Explorer then nothing shows up at all. No
shortcuts, no folders, no "Entire Network" icon, nothing.
Refreshes do no good.
The network is out there; file and printer sharing work
fine to and from the afflicted workstations. You simply
can't browse to anywhere through My Network Places.
On some of the other XP Pro systems, network shortcuts
show up, but you have to hit Refresh once to get "Entire
Network" to appear. After that single Refresh, browsing
the network works normally.
Sound familiar to anyone?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Serial ATA drivers for windows XP pre SP1Hey,
I just built a new system with an asus A8V-deluxe, AMD 64 bit processor,
Sony ATA DVD/CD/RW, and a serial ATA maxtor 250 gig harddrive. The harddrive
serial ATA controller is part of the chipset on my motherboard.
The hardware is all working just fine. But I need to install windows XP
professional to my new hard drive (it is formatted, partitioned), and my
CD-ROM is pre-SP1. My version of XP apparently doesn't support serial ATA,
so when I boot to the XP CD-ROM and it tries to install, it doesn't recognize
any hard drives and aborts.
You know how during the install you can hit F6 and provide outside
manufacturers drivers for other hardware. I tried that, but don't actually
have the SATA drivers in a format the windows installer will recognize. I'm
currently waiting for ASUS to get back to me in the hopes they can help.
Has anyone encountered this (or a similar) problem? Anyone know where I can
get the required drivers?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Network >> Network works, but can't "see" routerXP Pro
Though my network works fine, my desktop can't see my netgear router
(RP614).
I have a simple network: I have DSL service. My desktop, notebook, and
printer server are connected by wire to my Netgear router.
Everything works fine. Both computers get on the Internet, and both
computers can print. (And I can scan to both comptuers.
I can log on to my router from my notebook, but I can't log on from my
desktop. ("Page cannot be displayed")
I can't ping the router from my desktop either.
Although I'm not really affected by this, as I can do all I want from the
desktop, it bothers me.
I spent a lot of time with Netgear on the phone, and they say its an
operating system problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Security >> Problems with MS security patch MS07-046Hi all,
regarding the recent security patch
MS07-046 "Vulnerability in GDI could allow remote code execution"
I have found that certain applications compiled on Windows XP
Professional with this security patch will crash on different-language
machines (EN versus GER), regardless whether the patch is installed or
not.
I was able to verify this with Visual Studio 6.0 SP6, for an
application witch directly calls GDI functions of the windows API.
Microsoft support will not handle that matter, since VS 6.0 is no
longer supported. Still, I am pretty sure that not the programming
language, but the direct calls to the GDI library cause the problem.
Has anyone of you observed similar problems in programs written in VS
2003 or 2005? I don't expect them to show up if you use the built-in
GDI/GDI+ calls, only if you directly access the windows API (which
probably only legacy code will do).
We've tested it by compiling on an English Windows XP, and testing on
german XP, and vice versa. Don't know about other languages, but I
expect the problem to be similar.
Robert
