- Windows XP >> File and Folder SearchDoes anyone know why or how to stop a setup box from
appearing when you attempt to search for files and
folders using the search utility? I've seen this happen
before with Windows 2000 too. But whenever I try to
search my hard drive for a file, a Viso 2000 Professional
setup box appears and runs through a setup, then prompts
me for the Visio cd. Does anyone know why and how to stop
this? Thanks!

- Windows XP Setup >> Cheap XP , OR, XP for multiple computers?Ok, dont take me as an amature, but theres a few points i
need to make before asking this.
Windows upgrade cost around 150 in canada, the just
regular home edition for installing into a blank hard
drive is around 300.
I am currently building my PC piece by piece, with the
best i can get. But, just realising that i can buy a
computer for 400$ at some places, makes me wonder, how are
these companies installing XP for 300$, and only affording
the rest of the box for 100$, there would be no profit.
anyways, im looking for a cheap XP for a single system, or
for multiple systems.
is there a license required to purchase for multiple
systems?
and harsh point/question,
if you expect people to pay 300$ for a single
installation, i think there should be no surprises at the
illegal copies...and no, not all illegal copies are shut
down within a month. please give me useful answers, ive
had nothing but bad luck with this stuff.
Thank you very much,
PS. many programs require xp, there should at least be
extremely stripped down xp versions.

- Windows XP Support >> Sharing a Printer via a USB Port?I have a new Brother 5250 Laser printer that has 3 interface ports; a
USB 2.0, parallel, and network ports. Currently I have a network with
two PCs on a hard wired Ethernet DSL?Router.
Rather than invest in a new Router with a Print Server, can I use a USB
Hub 'in reverse'? -- That is connect my 2 PCs to tthe USB Hub and have
the 'Host' be the printer???? Or should I investigate if the printer
can accept 2 different interfaces at the same time (i.e. setup one of
my PCs to attach to it via its parallel connnection, and the other via
its USB port?)
My thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Cloning new HDI have one of those generic computers that can handle both ATA and SATA
drives. It can also handle DDR and DDR2 mem chips. A 'CLONE' so to speak.
Anyway, my boot drive now is an ATA 120 GB hd. I want to clone it to a SATA
500 GB hd. These are both Seagate drives.
Using the software that came with the SATA hd I attempted the cloning. All
seemed ok until I tried to boot to the new hd. Kept getting the message that
the operating system was missing.
It seems that all the data cloned to the new SATA hd and I went into the
BIOS to set the new hd as the boot drive and disconnected the original hd so
as not to cause any undo confusion. I think for some reason the ATA to SATA
exchange was somehow not complete or there is a compatibility issue somewhere.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great. I am trying to avoid starting from
scratch. My intent is to use the new cloned SATA hd in this computer and put
the old drive in an older computer for backup purposes etc. The older
computer cannot use the SATA drive.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Have you tried disabling the device through the device manager?

- Windows XP >> Transfer XP Pro To New ComputerI'm still confused about transferring XP Pro to a different machine. Here's
my summary: Couple of years ago I purchased a laptop online with XP Pro
installed. Did not come with install CD, did not have hidden restore
partition or copy of i386 file. It would not pass WGA due to blocked VLK. I
purchased a new (never registered) retail full install disk containing XP Pro
w/SP2. I did a repair install, entered the new 5x5 Product Key, and activated
same. As far as I can determine, I am 100% legal. Machine passes all WGA
scans for Windows Updates, I was able to install Windows Defender, etc.
If I purchase a newer used laptop that has a larger HDD, more memory, faster
CPU, etc, CAN I TRANSFER MY XP PRO TO THE NEWER MACHINE? If yes, will I use
the same Product Key or does MS issue a new Product Key to avoid the "one
key, one machine" conflict? Is there any other MS website to go to for more
info about what steps to take to legally transfer the OS to a different
machine? (I've already checked the WGA FAQs and didn't see anything about how
to transfer - just a reiteration of one license, one machine.)
Thanks for any assistance.

- Windows XP Hardware >> trying to diagnose intermittent problemwinxp sp2
p4 2.8
asus motherboard
1 gig ddr ram
nvidia geforce4 mx 440
250 gig seagate hdd
Greetings
I have had a problem with my computer since I got it nearly 2 years
ago. I think it is some sort of device driver problem but i haven't
been able to diagnose it. I just did a fresh reinstall of winxp and
that hasn't fixed it
problem is VERY slow boot process then occasional spontaneous reboots
during the boot. if i just keep rebooting then eventually is starts and
everything is fine. it usually doesn't crash and can go for a few weeks
without needing a restart
i have all the latest drivers from manufactureres website
i have a tv card but the drivers aren't loaded and i don't use it
one problem i had this morning - i put a dvd in and it went to a stop
screen with "driver_irql_not_less_or_equal" and lower down "cdfs.sys"
but when i restarted it actually started first go (though again, very
slow boot process), and here i am using it with no problems. It
occasionally freezes using moviemaker 2 but doesn't crash the machine -
just have to restart moviemaker
I can always boot to safe mode. I can do everything i need to on this
machine without it crashing - i use paint shop pro, office 2003,
opera, other apps and the list goes on
i'm keen to try and diagnose this problem - sometimes i think it must
be graphics card, other times maybe motherboard problem
if someone can help me with where to start i would appreciate it as I
want to shut down sometimes but dread the start up process
many thanks

- Windows XP Network >> does my IE ignore the hosts file?i know that after you enter a domain name into the address bar of your
ie, you computer first will check your hosts to see if there is any DNS
entry to match that domain name. if yes, the computer will use the
corresponding ip to see a request to the server. so i think if i put a
wrong entry into the hosts, see, the ip of A corresponds the DNS of B.
i just wonder after that if i enter the DNS of B, my IE will bring me
to site A, NOT B. but i can't success. what's wrong? can anyone help
me? thank in advance.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Drive size limitation in XP?I remember seeing an article that had a patch for hard
drives over 120 (or thereabouts) GB. I can't find that
article after multiple searches. I'd like to know if
anyone is familiar with the article as I'd like to have
it on-hand prior to installing a secondary hard drive
(200GB).
Also, if I turn on windows update, will it automatically
downloads these types of patches?

- Windows XP Hardware >> XP won't start with second hard driveWindows XP Home Edition
eMachines 1.0G Celeron
30Gb original boot drive
Have just installed a second (additional storage) hard
drive (Maxtor 120GB). Jumpers are properly set for
master/slave. The auto-detect BIOS seems to work fine and
properly identifies the new drive in BIOS setup. The
format/partitioning utilities that came with the drive
(boot-up from the CD)work just fine and report that the
drive is working fine. Testing, format, partitioning all
complete fine.
But XP will not start with the new drive connected. After
BIOS I get a quick logo screen then blanks out and then a
full page text message including the following:
"Were sorry....., Windows XP did not start successfully. A
recent hardware change might have caused this." THen
gives the following restart options (none of which work):
Start in Safe Mode
Start in Safe MOde with Networking
Start in Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Know Good Configuration
Start Windows normally
None of these options will work, and it repeats the boot
and returns to this message screen over and over. I have
never had a situation where Windows would not even start
in Safe mode. If I disconnect the new drive, I get this
message screen once more, but then XP will start normally.
If the BIOS is satisfied with the new drive why will XP
not start? If the disk utilities test and format it OK,
why won't XP go along? How can I help XP accept the new
drive if I cannot even start-up to work with it?
Thanks for any help.
