- Windows XP Setup >> lost outlook messagesI found an article that said "When you import e-mail
messages into Outlook Express 6.0, the list of options
may include only Microsoft Outlook Express version 4.0

- Windows XP Hardware >> Lan drops and erro 0xc0000017For some reason my windows xp pro (sp2) has started dropping all lan
connections after about 4 hours, at this point trying anything will usually
give me an error 0xc0000017 and a message saying unable to initialise
application. This includes task manager.
I cant see any logs in the event log to suggest any major problems. Reboot
and everything is fine again.
Any ideas would be great.

- Windows XP >> Minimizing Windows to the task barAll of a sudden and apparently for no reason, my open windows do not minimise
to the task bar. Instead, they "dissapear" Of course they are still active
and can be restored via the task manager. However, this is very inconvenient
and irregular. I have not been able to find a solution how to restore proper
operation of the minimise to task bar function.
Can anyone help?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Windows installer appearsThe windows installer box is appearing briefly when I
open certain programs, such as Control Panel and Internet
Explorer. They open and work, but I'm concerned by the
installer box appearing. I am using Windows XP Pro. I
recently had problems with Earthlink software and Norton,
and ultimately had to have a tech delete it (Earthlink)
from my registry and I installed a newer version of
Norton. Could this have messed something else up? Should
I reinstall my OS or Office programs,and if I do will I
lose any information?

- Windows XP Network >> Networking with XPI have three machines running XP, one is running XP Home
and the other two are running XP Professional. They all
are connected via a router sharing cable connection and
they all can share Internet connection with DHCP present.
All computers have the same workgroup name MSHOME, and
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
However, the XP Home cannot be viewed in the Workgroup on
both of the other XP machines. The only way the machines
can be accessed is if I click Start, Run and type \\<ip

- Windows XP Network >> XP / 98 networking issueAnti virus programs sometimes limits the ability of
Windows 98 computers to see Windows XP users on a
Microsoft client network. You can try adjusting the level
of protection of the local network setting. Removing the
protection will surely allow you to see the XP computer
but you then should have a router to protect your
network. I disabled Zone alarm yesterday when I couldn't
see our new XP server. I have not yet tried to adjust the
settings on Zone but may not as we have a router that says
it blocks unauthorized access (emails may still be a
problem to be looked at).
Hope this helps the other postings with 98/XP issues.

Windows XP Update >> Updates were unable to be successfully installed
My computer is set to receive automatic updates, but I noticed a gold color
shield within my system tray indicating that "Updates are ready for your
computer" for Office 2003 Service Pack 2.
The updates go through the entire download, but in the end a blue pop-up
appears stating "Updates were unable to be successfully installed" indicating
that "The following updates were not installed: Office 2003 Service Pack 2".
I have used the Microsoft Update link on my computer and downloaded the
updates from the Updates page to no avail ... it fails to install.
Any solutions?

Put your Office Installation cd in the drive before starting the service pack
install. It needs something off of the CD but abends instead of asking for
the CD.

Windows XP Update >> Updates were unable to be successfully installed
Hello Larry,
I installed the installation CD per your recommendation and low and behold
the download did engage the CD during the installation, at which point I
thought it would finally install successfully. Unfortunately, the same error
message appeared at the end of the install.
However, at least this time I received an Error Code (0x51F), but cannot
find any information on Microsoft Online what this error means and how to
correct it.
Might anyone know why updates are not downloading successfully?

Windows XP Update >> Updates were unable to be successfully installed
I found the following under the entry "SP 2 Solution that WORKS!!!"
Had the same problem. Contacted MS Tech and they sent me to this address:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=57e27a97-2db6-4654-9db6-ec7d5b4dd867&DisplayLang=en
For complete instruction go to: http://rockawaymo.us/sp_2.htm
This link is what MS Tech sent me.
It worked fine. All my MS Office products updated fine and work as they did.
Hope this helps.

- Windows XP Setup >> Managing Limited AccountsI am new to XP.
Can a limited account be managed through an administrator account?

- Windows XP Network >> LAN anomaly?I am having trouble sharing folders/files between two machines,
networked together via a router.
Both are WXP PRO SP2.
On machine 2, MyNetworkNeighborhood allows me to display & change
machine 1's C drive and its folders/files.
On machine 1, Machine 2's content is not displayed at all under
machine1's MyNetworkNeighborhood.
I have looked long & hard, but find no reason for this to be
happening. But what I have discovered is that I can 'MAP' a drive
letter on machine 1 to the C drive on machine 2, and access & change
machine 2's folders/files that way.
So why is it that I can access machine 2's folders/files on machine 1
by using its map function, but not through its MyNetworkNeighborhood?
I'm confused. Can anyone suggest where I might look to solve this
problem?
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Windows XP Registration/Activation QuestionA roomate and I shared a compter while we were in school. He bought all the
hardware and I bought all the software, with the understanding that when we
went our separate ways, we would each keep what we had paid for.
I can't get a hold of him now, but I'm sure he has the computer setup &
running the copy of windows xp I bought. I am thinking about buying my own
computer, but I'd like to reinstall XP over Vista. I have the original discs
and everything.
Obviously Microsoft will not let 2 copies of the same program be activated &
registered. My question is, what will happen if I install and try to activate
XP. HOw will it authenticate that I am the disc holder? Will he (roomate) get
a message saying his copy is no longer valid? Do I need to dig up a number
for him, so I can contact him and tell him to 'erase' his copy somehow? What
is the process?
Thankyou so much for your help!

- Windows XP >> Unable to start programsI am operating with windows xp. Suddenly I am unable to
start any executable programs. Anything that uses a .exe
command will not work. I receive message saying it cannot
find the file and to check its path (which I have). I
have done the following:
-I have the newest patches available for windows
-I ran an online virus scan and found one problem file
which was..
"bkdr optixpro.13" located in "windows/system
32/mpldfg.exe"
it was unable to clean this file and recommended it be
deleted which I did.
-I checked the knowledge database in windows and found
what appeared to be a similar problem which was
attributed to the "Pretty Park" virus.
-I did a file search for any of the suspect files in that
virus and found none.
-I also booted with Norton antivirus 2003 and did a virus
scan that way.....results were negative. I cannot load
the programs since the setup uses an .exe file.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Extending Basic Volume....Help RequestedThis would seem like it should be so simple to do, but I have yet to figure
out how to do it.
I just purchased a Thinkpad R51 laptop that was a student laptop configured
for university use. It's has a 40 GB hard drive, which was partitioned into
two parts: 14 GB Basic partition (C: drive with the XP OS) and a 24 GB
partition (D: drive with university stuff on it). Maybe I acted too rash,
but I went into the administrative tools and deleted the partitioned D:
drive and it now shows up as contiguous unallocated space. I expected I
would be able to use XP admin tools to just extend the C: drive into the
unallocated space making one partition over the whole drive. However, when I
used the command utility diskpart to select the volume and then use the
extend command, the operarion fails with:
Diskpart failed to extend the volume. Please make sure the volume is valid
for extending.
Upon further research it appears I can't use the diskpart tool to extend a
system or boot volume. Isn't there an easy way (or at this point even a
difficult way) to accomplish this? I just want one basic partition allocated
over all the space on the disk that I can label as C: with documents,
programs, and OS. (I only have 300MB left on C - running out of space fast.)
Thanks for any assistance with this.

- Windows XP Hardware >> HUGE Problem! Please help!A few days ago, my PC gave me a shutting down prompt and it turns itself
off.
Now, as long as the PC is plugged into the wall, my PC will boot up by
itself, starts up for 3 seconds and then shuts itself off. I was unable
to start the PC back up manually.
Then after 15 seconds, and it starts booting up by itself for a few
seconds and shuts off again. This keeps happening as long as it's
plugged in. I unplugged it for a few hours, but as soon as I plugged it
back in, it started booting up by itself again and shutting back down
continuously.
I replaced the power supply today, but nothing has changed. It is still
giving me the same symptoms.
Can anyone help me?
