- Windows XP Network >> ip o.o.o.o and DHCP or tcp/ip bt services don't start no internetProblem Description:
I have had a problem with not getting to the internet after uninstalling
Mcafee Privacy Service. All I get is a 0.0.0.0 IP all other computers
are reaching the internet find through this router. I have installed
the winsock fix ran all suggestions by Mcafee support. Tried to
release the ip and it says it can't because it can't find the file. I
have ran the netsh interface reset all and stil cannot renew the ip
using ipconfig /renew.
DHCP TCP/IP BT services do not start and will not start when triggered
says a service dependancy failer but all of the dependent services are
off and can't be started.
I don't want to reinstall xp because the computer came with it preloaded and
no cd's I was informed by the manufacturer that I would have to buy retail
copy. Please advise me as to what to do.... thanks

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> leadtek tv tuner card crashes mm2Movie Maker 2
WinXP Home sp2
Winfast TV 2000 Expert (Leadtek)
Hello
The main problem is that when I try to capture from the Leadtek card,
which is listed as the capture device when I click on the capture,
Movie Maker immediately crashes ..
History
Totally cleaned up machine with defrag, clean up etc. Installed sp2.
Everything went fine. Installed a pci firewire card. Works fine -
managed to capture video from Sony camcorder via firewire into mm2.
TV capture card is working fine for viewing but when I try to capture
via mm2, mm2 crashes.
I went to the PapaJohn site - does this apply to this situation ..
"11/10/02 - Microsoft - 99.9% of s-video ports are TV-out ONLY.
Therefore, although you can 'switch' output so that the signal that
used to go to the monitor will go to the camcorder or the TV, it does
not work the other way.
To capture analog video you need a graphics card with VIVO (video in
and video out) capability (look at the ATI All in Wonder ranger) or a
specialized analog capture card such as the Dazzle, Pinnacle or
Hauppage range."
If not - is there any setting I am missing, or is this just one of
those incompatabilities?
Many thanks in advance

- Windows XP >> 2 windows systems on one machineI'd like to have 2 windows systems on the same machine: one reasonably
trusted, and another not as trusted. I'll use the other one to try
software that is not guaranteed to be badware-free, like freeware from
the net.
One problem is I can't figure out how I can mask the first system from
the second at boot time. That is, if I boot the untrusted system, I
don't want it to be able to access the partitions containing the
trusted sytem.
Another problem has to do with Windows registration. I own two Windows
XP Pro licenses (The hardware I wanted came with XP pro only). However,
if this is at all possible, I'd like to avoid the hassle of setting up
two systems. What I'd like to do, ideally, is the following:
1. make two primary paritions
2. install Windows XP pro on partition number 1.
3. install Windows updates, Adobe and other software I definitely need
often
4. register
5. Clone the whole system to the second partition somehow (perhaps
using UNIX `dd`)
6. choose which system to boot and which to HIDE (first question)
Any suggestions as to how this could be done? Will Windows XP complain
that it's a "clone" if I do the above?
Hiding one partition from another is pretty important. Other things I
can live without.
Thanks!

- Windows XP >> Finding subfolders just by typing in the folder name in the main folder ????I have folders named after numbers i.e. 40111. I have a lot of folders named this way in a main folder that contains all these numbered subfolders. I find I can find the correct folder I'm looking for by simply typing the folder name quickly and it will find the correct numbered folder. However If I do not type quickly enough my search ends at the first 3 digts or so.
Is there a way to slow down this serch process until I have had enough time to type in all the numbers to find the correct subfolder? Is the a registry setting that I can adjust
Thank yo

- Windows XP Basic >> How do I erase run dropdown entries?I need to erase the past entries in the "run" dialog box. I did it once
before,accidentally, on a limited account when I was resetting some defaults,
but I don't remember how. I am trying to prevent a limited user from
accessing the registry editor. I tried entering "regedit" in his run box to
see whether he had access. He did. It is my understanding that he can't
actually edit, but i don't want to go so far as to try that to see whether it
works. Now that I typed the command into the "run" box in his user desktop,
it is always in the drop down box, and I can't erase it. I don't want him to
use it, if he doesn't already know how (and even if he does). He is a student
staying with us, and when he gets back from break, I plan to lay down the law
one more time before telling him he can't use the computer at all, but prefer
not to completely ban him yet.

(snipped totally unnecessary dxdiag log)
This probably has nothing to do with Direct X, so while including the
log was well-intentioned, it doesn't give us any usable information
with which to help you. Your problem could be caused by a virus,
spyware, or even a failing power supply or system overheating. However,
I think the best place to start is with these troubleshooting steps:
1) Scan with current antivirus ("current" means a version not earlier
than 2002 but using updated virus definitions); and 2) remove spyware
with Spybot Search & Destroy (www.security.kolla.de) and Ad-aware
(www.lavasoftusa.com). Be sure to update these programs before running,
and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode. Then
delete your temporary and Temporary Internet Files. When you know the
computer is clean, if the problem still persists, please repost
including some information about your system such as processor and RAM
specs, whether the machine is overclocked, how you connect to the
Internet, what type of antivirus program you used and the results, and
what you've already done to troubleshoot the problem.
Cheers,
Malke

- Windows XP Support >> Volume issues with sounds from the OS onlyHello,
I've been struggling with a problem for a few days now, and am tired of
banging my head against the wall. Hopefully someone here can help.
Sounds played directly by the OS have their volume much too low. This
refers to sounds such as those heard when you launch or shutdown xp. If
I open the control panel and go to the "sounds and audio devices"
application, then select the "sounds" tab, and select any of the sounds
at the bottom ("Asterix", "Critical Stop", etc...) and hit the little
play icon, the sound is still very low. HOWEVER, if I browse directly
to the directory that contains these sound files ("windows\media") and
double click any of them, windows media player will launch and play the
sound at normal volume.
Another example of my issue is the sounds launched during the autoplay
of application / game CDs. Again, if I simply have the cd autoplay,
it's launch sound is much too low, but if I browse to the autoplay
directory and double click on the appropriate .wav file, it sounds at a
normal volume level. Sounds are also too low when I "test direct sound"
from the DXDiag app.
Obviously, my sound card is properly installed, or I would have no
sound at all. Selections in the volume control application are all near
max, and not muted.
As I mentioned previously, it appears that the issue is with the volume
of the sounds only when XP itself is generating them. All is fine when
another application tries to play the same sound files.
For those interested, I'm using a SoundBlasterLive!Value with driver
emu10k1m.sys version 5.12.0001.3300. Speakers are Creative Cambridge
Soundworks FPS (four speakers + sub woofer).
Please help.
Regards,
Joel

- Windows XP >> Reloading CD softwareI just installed a new DVD-CD RW burner on my Dell Optiplex, and when
I tried installing the Nero software is apparently deleted my old Nero
software AND it nuked the Microsoft drivers. The system "sees" the
drive (it is in the hardware list under My Computers), but it does not
show up in the list of drives under My Computer and also has a yellow
exclamation mark by the device. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling
the device. It cannot install the driver software. So, now in order to
repair the driver/system I need to load the CD. Catch 22. There seems
to be NO place where you can download and install the Microsoft
drivers for the drive (its a Sony and it is my understanding they use
the Microsoft drivers).
Does anyone know a way around this Catch 22? Why doesn't Microsoft
have a place where their drivers can be downloaded and installed,
especially the crucial ones like the CD??!!

- Windows XP Network >> XP Home Networking Issues - 3 PC's - SP 1I have 3 pc's with identical hardware specs. All Pentium 4 2.4ghz and Netgear
100mbps ethernet cards connected to each other through a 10/100 hub.
Hard-wired not wireless. All cables have been tested and work.
I can share an internet connection between the computers. But I cannot
access any of the shared files or folders on any of the machines. And none of
the other machines see my pc on the network. But I can see them sometimes.
I have disabled all the firewalls, repaired the IP, set NetBIOS over TCP/IP
and even assigned all the pcs with their own IP addresses - 192.168.0.1, .2,
.3 and so on. And I've run the Network Setup Wizard a billion times and only
get errors or when its completed nothing works.
The error I get when trying to access the workgroup via My Network Places
says that the shared folder/pc is unavailable...depsite being able to share
the net access. And I cannot add the other pc's as a new network place. It
can't find them.
I can't ping any of the other pc's either. I get the "Request Timed Out".
And the net connection sharing goes in and out. Sometimes works and sometimes
doesnt.
If you could, please email me directly with any responses you may have.
email - chrisraypierce@hotmail.com
Thanks.
Also. They all have Service Pack 1, not 2. 2 will not work on any of the
pc's. It locks them up.
