- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Cannot delete folder on serverHello,
I am trying to delete some old folders off of our server, and cannot do so.
The error that I get is "Error Deleting File or Folder, Cannot delete file:
Cannot read from the source file or disk".
As you read on below, you will find a more comprehensive explanation of my
problem, along with 2 attempts to fix the problem.
A LITTLE HISTORY OF HOW THIS OCCURED:
This is is how these folders were created in the first place.
About 4 months ago, I had to come up with a way to back up (automatically) a
certain folder on my hard drive to the server, on a daily basis. I found
this program called "Karen's Replicator". One of the nice things about it is
that it will allow you to create custom pathing based on the current date,
which was good in the event that I needed to go back to a certain date backup.
When I was subsequently (after copying all of these folders to an external
USB-HD) trying to delete these folders that were created by the Replicator,
I discovered that some of the folders had an additional character (actually
it is a space) at the end of the date. Upon further review, I discovered
that if I went to the folder, hit F2, sure enough, you could see that there
is a space between the last visible character, and the blinking cursor. I
tried to remove the space, tried adding another character, and each time it
says "Cannot rename file: Cannot read from the source file or disk".
So the bottom line is that each and every one of the folders that are
UNDELETABLE contain this space at the end of the date. An example of the
path is this X:\Data\Local_Drive_Backup\BB_05-19-06 . Note that there is a
space after the 06 BEFORE the period.
WITH REGARD TO USING DELETE FXP AND KILL BOX:
I tried to use both DeleteFXP and Killbox, and got two different responses.
On the DeleteFXP, since the folder is on our network (as I had indicated
earlier) it won't work unless I want to pay for the ProLicense. On the Kill
Box, when I navigate to the folder, select it, and then click "Delete" it
says "File does not seem to exist".
WITH REGARD TO USING RMDIR:
Also, with regard to the DOS command RMDIR, that did not work either. It
says "The system cannot find the file specified".
Any more ideas?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Phil.

- Windows XP Support >> Error MessagesHello Everyone....
I hope someone can help me. Lately I have been receiving two error messages
on my system. It appears to be in the TEMP file area and they are rather
lengthy.
c:\docume 1\used\locals 1\temp\wer. cbd5.dir 00\mini081207-.02.dmp
c:\docume 1\user\locals 1\temp\wer cbd5.dir 00\sysdata.xmd
There are little squiggly horizontal lines where I have left a space before
the numeral one and other areas of the error message where I left a space. I
guess there is some way to type them but I do not know how.
Can someone please give me an idea what is going on as this problem is is
creating other problems on my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Gordon

- Windows XP >> Video plays slowly, causes sound to stutterHello,
When playing back certain video files in windows xp, the video plays slowly
but the audio plays at the correct speed. The video is slightly off, and
this causes the sound to stutter while the video catches up.
This is a new development, but one that I cannot seem to trace the cause for.
I have reinstalled codecs, and even installed windows media player 11 to try
to cure the problem.
This happens in games such as battlefield 2142 demo, Oblivion, Gothic 3 etc.
I know that Oblivion uses .bik files, but I don't about the other games.
Can someone explain how this happens, and give me a way to cure it?
Thanks,
Dan

- Windows XP Network >> network print as user not as guestHi All,
I have a windows 2000 server that mounts WHFC Hylafax print shares
from
two W2k-Pro, sp4 computer and two XP-Pro, SP2 computers.
The two w2k-Pro shared WHFC printers work perfectly with the w2000
server.
The two XP machines complain that the "WHFC not running for user
Guest".
(The necessary "WHFC Monitor" is running as the current user.)
Is there a way to get XP-Pro to act the same way as w2k-Pro and
accept the network print job's credentials as the user (the same use
name
and password is being used on both sides)?
Many thanks,

I have 3 hard drives, 1 system and 2 others, used mainly for back ups,
utilizing nortons ghost and microsoft back. Is there any point of having
system restore working on the non system drives, the hope of course is that
one doesnt have a multiple system and back up drive failure, at the same time?

- Windows XP >> Problem with Downloaded Program FilesI have a Dell Dimension 8200 computer with windows XP Pro (SP2) and current
MS updates installed (except for month of Jan 2007). I looked at the file
entries in the Downloaded Program Files (C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program
Files) and noticed the status of many of the files were listed as DAMAGED.
There were more of the DAMAGED files than listed below, but I was able to
right click on some of the files, select the update command, and the file
status then become Installed. However, the files listed below, when I
selected update, no status change was noticed. I clicked on these files
again and the update command was not listed, only the remove and properties
commands
were then listed as available.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated in how to resolve the below
problems. Thanks Sam.
1. Active X Control {01010E00-5E80-11D8-9E86-0007E96C65AE} DAMAGED

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Cisco switch upgrade turns XP performance to crapsome network upgrades have created total disaster here.
we got gigabit feeds, the network was segmented to different subnets by
floor of the building, and a new Cisco switch was installed in one of
the FDFs that services 2 Windows 2000 servers.
There are now a handful of XP client workstations that are impossible to
use. After login, it's taking >5 minutes to see the desktop. Access to
files on shared, mapped network drives (to the two servers) is taking
forever. One client double clicked on a folder, and thinking it had
simply hung up, went on to do other things. 20 minutes later, the
window with that folder opened up.
I've compared configurations between machines that work fine and the
ones that don't, and I can't see anything really obvious. The BASIC
networking configurations are the same, though the hardware is a bit
different in many cases.
All are Dell's; Dimension workstations, Poweredge servers, some have
3Com NICS, some Intel....
I'm at a loss.

- Windows XP Setup >> MS Word, Sections, and (non-displaying) Headers and FootersI am using MS Word 2002 on WinXP.
I am creating a book with multiple chapters.
I am printing on both sides of the paper since this will be used as a
"book". Naturally I want my chapters to always start on odd pages (so
they will always display on the right side.
To do this, I place a section break between chapters.
THIS IS MY PROBLEM:
Whenever a chapter ENDS on an ODD page, naturally a blank page EVEN
will be produced between the last page of the chapter and the first
page of the second chapter.
But whenever it DOES that, the page is produced with out Headers or
Footers (i.e. it is TOTALLY blank). How can I get Word to print the
blank last even page with Headers and Footers?

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Is there a way to change the default conditions
that the system Idle process uses to determine that the machine is idle?
For instance I know that it checks if
1. There is no user input
2. The CPU and disk usage is less than 10 percent
3. The system is not running on battery power
4. Presentations programs are not running
But I would like to change the conditions.....for example lower the CPU to 5
percent usage
Is this possible?

- Windows XP >> Cannot see all properties on Summary tab on File Properties seen from explorer.Hi,
We have proprietary file which is structured storage one. We store all
standard property sets such as summary information property set. When
I see File Properties from explorer on Win2k OS, I see all Summary
properties under Advanced->Origin.
When I see file properties for the same file from explorer on WinXP
OS, then I cannot see all summary properties under Advanced->Origin. I
see only Source, Author and Revision Number.
What could be the possible reason? Is there any way to show all
properties on XP?
Thanks and Regards,

- Windows XP >> Wndows update choicesCan someone answer these questions please?
- Is the "Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML)" update critical and really
necessary for all Windows users? Why? I read the description and I didn't
understand it well enough to make a choice. I just use my PC for email,
photo editing, specialied shopping and scientific information. Not too
happy to keep adding XP updates unless they are really useful to the kind of
user I am.
- I still have IE6. Again I have read on updating to IE7 and do not see too
much of a gain in updating unless I am not aware of special benefits.
Please comment, I always learn from responses here.
Thanks, Joan

- Windows XP Hardware >> RED and BLACK USB connector??Hello,
I bought a 4 port sharing USB hub :
it connects 2 computers to 4 USB devices , so you can switch the usb
printer, mouse, flash card,
it's easy : you can write a flash card with PC A and push the switch button
of the flashcard on the hub and it's connected with PC B .
My question is : the hub has no power adapter , but a RED and a BLACK USB-A
connector, but only one USB-B connector, to connect to the hub, for each
connected PC .
Do i need to connect BOTH the RED connectors to the 2 PC's or is 1 enough ??
can anybody explain me how this works having 2 connectors at one end of the
USB cable??
thanks paul
the red is for power supply and the black is for data.
