- Windows XP Setup >> Influencing drive-letter mappingsHello all,
I was just wondering about something. I have a dual boot system, both
OS-es are windows XP. When I install the second OS (on a different
physical) harddrive then the OS does get installed and maps the
'windows' drive to the letter D.
I have 4 harddisks in total. First is basic windows versions. Second is
for my documents. Third, my downloads, music and video's. And fourth my
second windows installation.
Now My default installation (on C) maps the second and third harddrive
as D and E. This is used by multiple programs. If I want to use these
same programs in my second installation, the drive mapping is different
and thereby letting the programs malfunction.
What I would like to be able to do is influence the driveletter of the
active partition of windows (to F). Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
Eddie.

- Windows XP Network >> Printer can't be found on network printserverI have a Konica-Minolta 2300W color laser printer (USB or
Parallel). I tired to hook the printer up to my linksys
print server via USB and I can't print to the printer.
I talked to Minolta support and they say they don't support
the use of print servers.
I have never heard of a printer that can't be printed to
through a network print server. Is this possible? And is
there a way around the problem?
I am at an end on this one...

- Windows XP Hardware >> Second Harddrive problemsEvents required me to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition, once this was
complete I was unable to access my second harddrive. Anytime I attempted to
open it, it gave the message "do you want to format this drive?" I have
verified that the device is properly installed through the device manager -
all drivers show up and are clear of any errors (appear to be anyway). It is
my hope that someone out there can tell me how to get my system to recognize
that this drive is available and already formatted for use. Also I am really
not wanting to recreate/reload all the programs and data to that drive.
At a loss for what to do next.
Thanks

- Windows XP Update >> Download History has disappearedWhen I go to WU or windows catalog and choose download history, I am told
that I have not downloaded any updates. How can I get this function to work?
I know that I should have about 50 updates listed.
If download history does not work, where within Win XP is a log file of the
updates I have installed? SP2 is installed.
I need this info to build a CD with all updates in the event of a reinstall.
Thanks,
John

- Windows XP Setup >> Re-Activation After Reinstalling XPHelp! I had to reinstall XP after our PC contracted the
Blaster Virus. Now when Windows boots I get a message
saying I need to re-activate before I can log on. When I
choose the "yes" option to activate, XP logs off, then I
get the same message to reacivate. I called Microsoft
support (NOT toll-free) and was given an incident #srx-
031103601818, then transferred to another dept where I
remained on hold (still on MY nickel) for a good half hour
before I hung up out of frustration, with no answer or
solution.

- Windows XP Network >> Monitoring IP connectionHi,
I want to know if it is possible to determine a connecting IP address in
2000, XP and Vista. Sometimes I see the internet connection icon (next to the
time display) active, but have no idea about the origins of the connection.
It could be an update or undesired connection. Apart from Norton internet
security are there other tools available, easy to install and use?

- Windows XP Network >> loggin onas guest?, bypassing login?At our office we have a Microsoft Windows Network, our file server is a
MacOS X server, on this server we have a 'workgroup manager' piece of
software which details usernames, passwords and file access restrictions.
We now have some mobile laptops connecting to our network, they also connect
to the server and access the files.
However, the laptop users don't appear to be loggin in to the network when
they turn their machines on and i think that instead of them using their
previously created username, password(and therefore file access rules) they
now bypass these and are merely acting as a guest user.
This is not a job which needs to be fixed on the 'workgroup manager'
software is it? I think its mre to do with the way in which they are tryingto
connect. How can i sort this problem, any ideas -they are both usingWindows
XP Pro.
Many Thanks.

- Windows XP Support >> Solving a Net Framework ProblemI recently reloaded my Windows xp and when starting xp it tells me that
'ReminderApp.exe -.Net Framework Initialization error. Application failed to
initiate properly. Then is says Install one of the following versions of the
.net framework.' Nothing is listed.
Then when I click OK, it says that the Application failed to initate
properly (oxc0000142).
Is it talking about windows or one of the programs I installed? Do I delete
programs one by one, reload Windows or or is there another solution. I have
had problems reinstalling many of my other programs also.

- Windows XP Support >> Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library Runtime ErrorI purchased and installed Microsoft Works approximately 2 months ago in my
home computer. I used Microsoft Word a few times as I rarely need it. When
I tried to create a .doc today, I received the following runtime error
message 3 times and I lost the document each time. I was creating a simple
document with no graphics, attachments, etc:
The caption is: "Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library"
The body of the error message states:
"Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."
What is wrong with the program and how can I fix it?

- Windows XP Network >> Internet Connection SharingI have two computers connected on a network through hub.
In the first one I have enabled the ICS. The settings of
the "Local area connection" of this computer are:
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS server: 192.168.0.1
The settings of the other computer are all set to auto.
When I make an internet connection I see both "Local area

bar of the second computer but I can't open any pages
with internet explorer. Is there someone who can help?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Setup >> Change of languageGood afternoon... I wonder, does anyone know if it is possible to change the language in which Win XP presents itself?
I have to do some translations of help and instructions for software in another language and it would be so useful to be able to switch Windows between the two so that I could be sure to get the terms consistent.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
