- Windows XP Support >> Page loading progress bar goneHello~
I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I am using Windows
XP Home Version and my page loading progress bar at the bottom of every
page is now gone. I don't know how to get it back. I haven't been
messing with any settings so I don't know what I did to cause this. I
can't find where this setting might be on the PC. Could someone help
me, please?
Thanks :)

- Windows XP Setup >> Not Enoug space on Hard DiskHi wondering if anyone can help.My pc is running slower and slower and i
think its due to the fact that i only have 9% of free space left on my hard
disk.I do have a lot of music files ( 11.6gb ) and i was wondering if there
is anything i can do to compress these files to make more space, and if i
can, will it harm those files, and, folders?If not, is it a case that I have
to go out and buy a larger memory and if i do, is it expensive and is it
difficult to do. I have 37.27gb of memory and like i said i only have 9% free
and to run the de,fragmentiser its telling me i need at least 15%.If this has
made sense to anyone...please please help.
Thank you

- Windows XP Network >> Setting PermissionsHello,
I have a home network and need to have full access to the

drives no matter which machine I am using?

- Windows XP Network >> XP slow to discover DNS server after reboot or LAN interruptionI have a network consisting of a Linux firewall machine, and a Windows
XP Professional laptop.
Every time I reboot the laptop, or momentarily disconnect the LAN
connector from it, I have to wait 40 seconds for the first DNS query.
For instance, if I do "ping yahoo.com" from the command line, it takes
40 seconds to resolve the address. During this time, if I do "ping
216.109.112.135" (which is yahoo's IP address) the pings are all
returned instantly. So I believe this is a DNS server discovery issue.
After the first DNS query completes, subsequent queries work fine with
no delays. But each time I reboot or disrupt the LAN connection I have
wait 40 seconds for the first DNS query. I discovered this also occurs
each time I do "ipconfig /flushdns".
My laptop TCPIP properties define the laptop IP address (no DHCP) and
two DNS server addreses. Both of those servers are fine. I tried
turning off NETBIOS but it made no difference.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Why does it take so
long to discover the DNS server or resolve the name the first time?
Thanks.

Windows XP Setup >> Making progress, but can't get rid of dual boot
If you saw my post from yesterday, I now have C: D: E: with XP home on C: and
(looks like) a remnant on D: which causes me to get 2 WinXP home boot options.
Booting the first, everything's fine. Booting the second gives me a
corruption error.
I have "formatted" d: and there are no files on it except for a hidden
"System volume Folder" with (apparently) nothing in it.
Anyway, I'd like to get rid of the second boot option. How do I do that?
Also, can I blow away that "system volume folder" on D:? How?
Thanks for everything,
Rob

- Windows XP Security >> Installation of McAfee VirusScan ASaPHi people,
I have the following problem:
I want to install McAfee VirusScan ASaP to a huge number
of workstations running Windows 2000 Professional and
Windows XP. These workstations are not members of any
domain and connect to the network using a VPN connection.
The installation of McAfee VirusScan ASaP requires local
administrator rights. Since none of the users have these
rights I would have to visit al these people to perform
the installation.
I'm looking for a solution to perform some sort of
installation using a single file that they would have to
download and execute to perform the installation. Would
it be possibe to give the user local admin rights just
for the time needed to perform this installation?
Does anyone have an idea to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bernard.

- Windows XP >> trouble with port 110I was hoping that someone could help me. I have an e-
mail account that is not working in outlook express. I
have windows xp professional with the service pack 1
loaded. The account name is mark@thegehrets.com. I get
an error message of "The connection to the server has
failed. Account: 'mail.hostsave.com',
Server: 'mail.hostsave.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E" I know that the e-mail account works because
I can get the e-mails on another pc and I have family
that have the same type of account and theres all works.
I tried to troubleshoot the problem with all of the
things that microsoft had said to try on there web page
but none of it worked ex. I tried telnet and I could not
connect. Microsoft said to uninstall the tcp/ip's and
then let windows reload them. I can not delete them in
windows xp. Does anyone know what else I can try to fix
this? I need to know how to get that port umblocked, but
I can not figure out what is blocking it and not allowing
me to use port 110. can anyone help?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Icons dissappear from notification taskbarI am running XP Home with all the latest updates and 500 MB ram.
At times, icons I depend on being there disappear from the notification area
of my taskbar and the only way to restore them is too reboot. This seems to
occur after I have been running the PC for a long time without rebooting,
especially if I have many webpages minimized.
Is this a known bug, memory problem or something else. Can I avoid it
somehow?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Files and settings transfer wizard problem? Please help me!Hi,
I saved my OE messages and settings using the XP files and settings transfer
wizard so I can put it back on my laptop after a XP clean install! That was
last night and I successfully saved the settings on 1GB SD card. I am
trying to transfer it to the Laptop and it asks my to insert disk #1, when I
click ok it says that this is not the correct disk! The backed up data are
on the SD card which is a file called "USMT2IMG"!
I used this wizard many times in the past but I always saved my stuff on a
hard drive partition and never had a problem with it! This time I used the
SD card but that is not working! Please help me get my data back, please!
The stuff I had on it is really hard to replace and would cost me a lot,
possible my job! Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Support >> Partition or notMy F Drive is an external HD. Prior to my recent crash I'd stored My
Mp3Music,
My Familyphotos etc on there, together with my WinXP NTbackup.
I couldnt get my backup to restore and fouled up.
The nice techie who got me up and running again recommended I buy
Norton Ghost 9
for my future monthly incremental backups, so I did.
I'm now ready to do the first backup (or copy).
Should I have a Partition on my External Drive to segregate the Backup
from my routine store of music and photos as I start to build a new
collection.
If I do oneclick backup of everything this first time I'm unsure
whether next month when I do an incremental backup do I include this
months first backup or just everything else. The pdf userguide is too
technical for me to get to grips with.
Thanks for any help
Mike
