- Windows XP Hardware >> printing envelopesOn my old microsoft Works I could print envelopes from the
address book by marking the ones I needed. Works7.0 prints
the whole list. Can anyone tell me how to print selected

- Windows XP Setup >> SP2 - unable to login, activation requestsI have an ACER laptop that came with a pre installed OEM version of
Windows XP Pro. It (had) all the latest updates, but after applying
sp2 would not allow me to login under any accounts with error message
like 'could not create temp profile DETAIL - insufficient system
resources.' followed by a restart.
After logging in to SAFE mode (and it would only do this every third
boot!) the event log shows the same error, PLUS ACTIVATION errors. I
rolled back to SP1a (congrats MS - this worked perfectly) and I tried
running an installation repair, which of course required me to
re-active - which it did successfully. A second attempt produced the
same result - but with a dialogue telling me I had to activate before
I could logon. It then proceeded to do this, and I was then back to
the same scenario - 'UNABLE TO CREATE PROFILE' followed by a dialogue
with an X and and OK button. I've rolled back to SP1 successfully
again, but Windows update will soon prompt me to install SP2 again I'm
sure!
Can anyone suggest what's happening here? Rob C

- Windows XP >> Services and StartupRunning XP Home. In MSCONFIG there are tabs for SERVICES and STARTUP. Is
there any comprehensive info on what these various items do (in plain
language) and which are safe to delete from either.
For example, I found BCMSMMSG in STARTUP and found it controls my modem,
which I never use as I have broadband. I unchecked it with no ill effects.
Your help is appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> Workgroup vs DomainWe have a Windows NT 4.0 domain consisting of about 250 workstations. Our
WAN stretches over 8 states. There is a specific situation at each location
in which we have 4 to 8 pc's in what we call a "workgroup". This worked
fine in the Windows 98 days. Now we are adding a W2000 Pro or XP Pro machine
to each laocation as the "host". In other words, this is the pc that shares
it's resources. The other pc's may be W2000 Pro or W98 or a combination. If
I add all the pc's to the domain and each user is authenticated by the
domain and I share my resources to certain users of the domain, everything
is great.......until the WAN goes down and they cannot be authenticated by
the domain. Is there a better way ? Would I be better of not joining these
pc's to the domain ?

Now, do I have to reformat and reinstall windows almost every month? This
is so focking retarded!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't expect compensation or attribution, but here are some features I
expect be included in the upcoming Windows Vista:
1. Incorporate the file system into the registry.
2. Include a fart sensor (to be incorporated in the seat by the user) with
the next Windows release, and have the output logged into the registry.
3. Make ALL files excutable.
4. Execute ALL files with rundll32.exe
5. Hide file extensions from the user. Wait, this is done already!
6. Rename all files as soon as they are installed to very long hex strings,
so as to hide from the user, among others, the biometric fart logs.

I'm experiencing periodic freeze-ups of my pc (XP Home) --

However, the software may be corrupted because it won't

- Windows XP >> no Product KeyI bought Microsoft Home Edition along with a case,
motherboard, CPU, 2 HDD, Vidio card, etc. The software
came as two CDs: a Windows XP Home Edition, and a Windows
XP OEM Preinstallation Kit. I have written to Newegg.com
where I bought the software (and most of the hardware) to
find out how I can get the Product Key, but I've had no
reply yet. Is there a procedure I can use if I don't hear
from them in a reasonable period of time? I have been
working on the system for a week now and am getting
anxious to get it working.
Thank you for any help.

Windows XP Setup >> restore registry in XP
Hello
I have a system that will now not boot after cleaning out
some files in the registry. It boots to the login screen
but when you click on a user mesage comes up saying that
it is logging out the user. Ive tried every boot mode
posible with the same results. Now i have a legal XP Home
serial and disk but ive lost the #. Can you restore the
registry in XP through a comand prop like 98 or do you
need to reinstall. How can i recover my serial number
through a comand prompt? Please any ideas are welcome.

Windows XP Setup >> restore registry in XP
Can you get into the command console?
Not sure I understand. How did you obtain XP Home? Retail versions would have the
product key in the box. OEM versions would have a sticker on the side of the PC
similar to this:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/windows/images/block4_1.jpg
If you can not boot into Windows, I'm not sure you will be able to obtain a product
key.
But, try this:

Good luck!

- Windows XP >> file deletion through windows installerHi
I am having a doubt regarding windows installer. Whenever windows
installer is used for uninstallation of any software, then the file
deleted through MSIexec.exe doesn't use NtDeletefile for deleting
files.i have verfied using windows debugger. My overall purpose is to
get notified whenever any software is getting installed/un installed.
How can i proceed to achieve the same.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> 2 questions re: audio levels and formatquestion 1- is it possible to have the audio at different levels during the
same clip? i know how to raise the volume and mute, but for instance, could i
have the audio level loud at the beginning of the clip and slowly fade out by
the end of the clip?
question 2- if i'm saving clips as WMV but want to record back to tape
later, will i be able to convert to AVI or do i have to capture as AVI to
start? reason being untill i know what clips are really going to be used i
want to conserve disk space. basically the question is can i convert WMV
clips to AVI?

- Windows XP >> Do i still have a virus?I have scanned my computer with both online virus scans
as well as the norton antivirus i have installed on my
computer. However my computer still kept shuting down
after startup. I went to microsft and used the windows
update feature and that seemed to solve the problem about
windows shutting down.
To do this though I ended the process of WkCalRem.exe
which seemed to stop my computer from shutting down which
allowed me to download the updates. My question: Do I
still have a virus on my computer even though I don't see
the effects any more. Here is a log from XP Starup

- Windows XP Support >> Windows Explorer problemI saw an article about how to enable opening a DOS-window from within Windows
Explorer using the current folder in Windows Explorer. However, I did one
mistake and now I don't know how to make it undone.
I went in to Tools->Folder Options...->File types tab in Windows Explorer
and then i highlighted File Folder and pushed the Advanced button. Then I
pushed the New... button and then added "Open folder in MS-DOS" and
"c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /k %1". Then I pressed OKk and did the mistake
to press the Standard button followed by OK. Now Windows Explorer opens a new
Search dialog (windows standard search dialog for files and folders) when
double clicking a folder in the right view of Windows Explorer. Also, when I
in the Search view right click an item, which has been found after a search,
and select Open Object's Folder I get another Search dialog. The worst thing
is that when I go back to Tools->Folder Options...->File types tab in Windows
Explorer and then i highlight File Folder and push the Advanced button the
Edit and Remove options are disabled so I cannot delete or edit what I have
just added. How can I solve this problem?

- Windows XP Hardware >> problem to boot the harddisk from CD ROM/floopy diskMy computer cannot be booted from hard disk directly, and I doubt my
hard disk has some data corrupted?? However, I am able to see the
Windows XP splash screen but it never can go to Windows; it then
restarts by itself in an infinite loop. I think this problem was caused
after I failed to install the linux in different partition. I tried to
boot the machine from safe mode, but it still didn't help.
I tried to boot the machine from bootable Windows XP CD, and hopefully
I can repair or format the hard disk, but it didn't help at all. It
went to the setup page and stuck there forever. However, when I
switched to a good hard disk, it works fine. That means the machine is
able to boot from CD ROM if the hard disk is good, but not this hard
disk that has problem. I tried similar approach by using floopy disk to
boot the machine, and it works fine for a good hard disk but not this
bad one.
Any more suggestions?? I really have no idea what should I do now.
Please advice. thanks...

- Windows XP Setup >> Sysprep difficultiesGood afternoon,
I am currently having difficulties usng Sysprep. Each
time I create an image using sysprep -reseal -mini, I am
required to enter the product key, which should not be a
problem. However, two issues arise from this: first, I
have already included the key in the sysprep.inf file.
Secondly, the product key is not accepted, although I
know perfectly well that the key I am entering is valid.
Has anyone encountered problems similar to this before?
Thank you for your time.
