- Windows XP Security >> Validating Microsoft Security UpdateHow do I KNOW that a security update that gets suggested
in XP comes from Microsoft? It would be pretty horrible
if someone cleverly figured out how to impersonate these
critical update messages.
Can you tell me what Microsoft does to ensure that
critical update messages cannot be hijacked? Is there a
manual or automatic process I can do to authenticate those
messages before acting on them?

- Windows XP Setup >> Installing SoftwareI got my wife a Palm Tungsten E PDA and when I place it in the CD Tray the Install Wizard doesn't start and run the program. Is there a way I can do an install manually or is there a setting I can choose on the PC so that when I go to install other softwares in the future this won't happen again. Thanks and Merry Christmas, Jimmy

- Windows XP Setup >> Can I replace *only* "hal.dll" if I move a HD to another computer?Hi all,
I'm wondering if I'm missing something...
I have a computer that currently has an "Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI)" HAL. I want to move it's hard disk to a
machine that has an "ACPI Uniprocessor" HAL.
I was thinking I could "sysprep" the computer with "mini-setup"
checked, then replace the hal.dll file from a different "ACPI
uniprocessor" computer before booting the hard disk in the other CPU.
But, that didn't work...
Yes, I could reinstall Windows at this point, but I'm curious if
there's more to just replacing the one "hal.dll" file to get it to
recognize the new computer hardware using the method above.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> few computer problems.well I have a few problems just in addition to my computer running slow
lately. When my windows starts up it gives me the following error message
"the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150004). Click on OK to
terminate the applcation" for something called dlbtbmon.exe. and i also
receive that same message when I try to open my cd burning program "Record
Now" Also whenever I try to open a newer version of Windows Media Player, I
receive this message: "windows media player is not installed properly and
must be reinstalled" but i've tried this numerous times, only to receive the
same message. Because of this I cannot use any newer versions besides a very
old version. A few months ago I had a message on the bottom of my screen
saying something about a hard drive crash being possible, but then it just
went away. I've used so many different things to try to clean out my
computer and fix these problems, including registry mechanic, which i now
regret that i used because of what i read in other topics. Well any help
would be greatly appreciated, if I can think of anymore of the problems i've
had i'll post them here too. Thank you very much for any help.

- Windows XP Support >> Wallpaper Changer Power Toy skips images!Lately, as Wallpaper Changer advances through images, it has been skipping
over large blocks of files. It only happens in one folder, which has 1,120
image files. So I'm wondering if there is an upper limit on the number of
files the program can manage in a single folder. Does anyone have any
knowledge or insight about this?

- Windows XP Setup >> Long time to delete first file.Just wondering what would cause WinXP SP2 to take a long time (about 20 seconds)
to delete a file. This only happens on the first file after booting (or
rebooting but not after logging off & on), all subsequent files delete in a
blink of the eye.
Everything else seems to be working fine. I can learn to live with it (I'd
rather not) but it is annoying.
Any (productive) suggestions appreciated.

Windows XP Support >> Outlook Calendar Events
I am working with Windows XP and Office 2003 Pro and am located in the
Central Time Zone. When a user receives an calendar event it is off
by an hour. For example, if a meeting is schedule for 9:00 am CST
their Outlook Calendar shows it at 8:00 am CST. I have checked their
time zone and it is correct.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

- Windows XP >> SUGGESTION TO SHORTEN BOOT UP TIMESUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO SHORTEN BOOT UP TIME
I had notebook with run by WinXpSp2
.
I had discovered that my laptop boot up time is increased and I want
to shorten it. Somebody suggested to check the event viewer and found
out that there are application errors amounting to 512 kb and viewing
the properties found these
Name: T size
Application log application error 512 kb
Security log security audit 64kb
System log system error 512 kb
What does this information means?
The application errors it says that when the capacity has reached 512
kb it can either be manually deleted, overwrite events when needed or
overwrite manually.
I would like know what is the best option for the three choices given?
Another suggestion was to Right-click "My Computer", Properties,
"Advanced" tab, "Startup and Recovery" Advanced button,
and change the two "Time to display..." settings to 5 seconds instead
of 30, and OK your way out
Could somebody give me some ideas?
TIA

- Windows XP Support >> WinXPsp2 Error 1508Everytime I turn on my machine I get an error 1508 saying insufficient
resources to load user profile. When I restart in safe mode it boots
successfully and then if I restart from there it boots correctly in normal
mode. It does this everytime.
I recently upgraded video card and am wondering if this could be a result of
insufficient power supply.
The only answer in the KnowledgeBase is that the registry is failing to load
because of insufficient resources.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> dll problemRunning XP Home. I recently installed Encarta Ref.
Library 2004DVD to my HD, over the top of the 2003
version (it said it was ok to do that) and it went
through deleting various files from the 2003 version and
installed fine. However, I think it may have deleted
some dll files as well. My Retrospect software for my
external hard drive suddenly wouldn't start and said it
was missing msvcr70.dll. So I downloaded it off the net
and put it in my c:\windows\system32 folder and that got
that program running. Yesterday I tried to download an
audiobook using Audible Manager (a program from
www.audible.com that facilitates the downloading of audio
books) and suddenly it said I was missing msvci70.dll, so
I downloaded and installed it, then it said i was missing
mfc70.dll, so I downloaded and copied it to the system32
directory and then tried again and this time it just
gives me an error, saying it can't initialize the
program. Any idea what I might do or is it just best to
reinstall the Audible Manager program? (will that cure
it?).
Thanks,
Mark

- Windows XP >> ACTIVStudio - Error: problem obtaining valid path for applicationI am having problems opening ActivStudio software. The problem first
arrose in version 3 but now version 2 is popping up with the same
error when the program is started.
Error: problem obtaining valid path for application
The software is installed on each machine. It runs as an administrator
but it would not run for teachers so I have made "teachers" local
administrator to the appropriate PCs and that has made it work.
However, this is only a temporary fix as I do not want to leave such
rights available for teachers to use.
The problem seems very intermittent. One day it will work, another it
wont. I have tried contacting Promethean for there support but they
are blaming the network and access rights.
I cannot for the life of me seem to find a fix for this.......... any
advice anyone????

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Adding licensed music clipsI'm trying to make my first movie / slide show of my childrens' soccer
season. I bought and downloaded a song from a music web site which I want to
use as an audio clip for backround music, but when I try to import it into
Movie Maker I get a message that Digital Rights Management content cannot be
used in Movie Maker. I purchased the recording of the song and the license
which goes with it. The song will play on Windows Media Player, but I can't
use it in my home movie / slide show. Is there a way I can use any of these
purchased songs?

- Windows XP >> Upgrade 98 to XPI distribute an Access Runtime application. When
installed onto a full licence W98 machine the application
works fine. When installed onto a full licence XP machine
the application also works fine. However when clients
UPGRADE their Windows operating system, say from W98 to

crucial Windows files missing on upgrade on which the
