  - Windows XP >> Forgot winXP passwordMy son needs help. He is 14 and lost (can't remember) his
    XP Home Edit. password on his computer. He is the only
    one running as admin. to keep his sister from getting in
    to his programs and homework. First, how do we reset the
    password? I have searched the web and came up with two
    solutions; one is to literally *hack* the password (seems
    harsh to me), or to use the "control passwords2" command
    (this seems moot as you must have admin. to use the
    command, see above). Second, what is the best way to
    setup the login so this won't happen again? Dad's
    computer reputation is at stake here.

  - Windows XP >> Task scheduler doesn't run after WinME->WinXP HE upgradeI've been fussing with problem for weeks now - for some reason Task
    Scheduler apparently will not recognize my administrator account - a note on
    the Knowledge Base indicates that there have been problems of a different
    sort when upgrading from Win98/WinME to WinXP.
    
    Have tried various work arounds, tweaks, registry edits suggested here - the
    main problem seems to be that when I did the upgrade, the system
    "remembered" a former username, even though that account didn't exist after
    the upgrade. I have tried renaming my administrator account to that name,
    but that doesn't help.
    
    Another possibility that has occurred to me is that Norton Antivirus and
    Internet Security may have something to do with this, and I am thinking
    about uninstalling them and re-installing - but that seems like a long shot,
    and since I'm on about my third over-the-net upgrade with Symantec, I'm
    concerned I might have to go out and buy a complete new set if they won't
    let me upgrade from the original disk.
    
    Everything else works fine - just this one problem with Task Scheduler,
    which is really annoying as it prevents automatic security updates from
    running by themselves.
    
    Any thoughts?

  - Windows XP Setup >> Prob upgrading to XP Home from MEWhen trying to upgrade I received a report stating that my
    modem may not work with windows XP. As a result I tried
    to use the update program within windows xp setup to
    update the setup files.
    
    The problem is that as when the program tells me it is
    downloading the updates, the system checks the floppy
    drive and then hangs. The small meter on the screen which
    signifies activity freezes. The hard drive light stays
    lit but without activity.
    
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  - Windows XP >> Uninstalling Windows XPI want to uninstall XP, but I previously had Windows 95,
    so I had to use a "New PC" cd. The uninstallation option
    isn't in the control panel. How do I uninstall it? Also,
    I didn't overwrite the old W95 files, so they're still
    there.

  - Windows XP >> XP Loading to Black ScreenWindows XP boots up normally and begins to load with the
    bars scrolling horizontally across the screen, theres a
    brief glitch in the image, then the screen goes virtually
    black with several colored pixels at the top edge, barely
    noticeable. The computer is then frozen and must be
    unplugged to reboot properly. Windows will load fine in
    safe mode, and I have tried several restores to no avail.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> curser stops for few seconds I see where this question was asked before but didn't see
any answer. Just got back from a trip, fired up my home
computer which worked fine when I left 4 days ago but now
the cursor - in any program it seems - especially in
Adobe Photoshop though - does not function smoothly. It
keeps stopping for a few seconds. Checked the roller
ball - no dust bunnies there. Any ideas?

  - Windows XP Network >> WEP Authentication for Wireless LANA while a go I set up a wireless LAN with a WG311V2 Netgear PCI wireless
    card connecting to a Netgear WGR614 router and used WEP encryption, all
    worked OK. I then after about 6 month I decided to change to WPA encryption
    and had issues where on bootup it would not connect some times.
    
    I have now fallen back to the WEP setup and can get it to connect only after
    selecting repeated repair options. Once it connects it stays up but when I
    boot up the next time the connection won't establish again. If I turn
    encryption off I don't have any issues.
    
    I'm using the Windows Networking to configure the WEP and keys etc.
    
    Does any body have any ideas

  - Windows XP Network >> No Ping Response; everything else OKMy Thinkpad XP Pro laptop has stopped responding to ping requests.
    Network connections seem otherwise normal: I can ping other computers
    on my network, I can see the laptop and its shared files from other
    computers, etc.
    
    I have tried everything I could think of. I disabled all firewalls. I
    used msconfig to start with no non-microsoft services and no startup
    programs. I took the computer off the network and connected directly
    to a voip box, logged into the voip box, and tried to ping the laptop
    from there. The laptop will just not respond.
    
    The laptop does successfully ping itself (localhost or 127.0.0.1).
    From any other device, a ping request just times out.
    
    What could be causing this? What else can I try?
    
    Thanks.

    ORIGINAL POST:
    
    I have always had this problem with my computer since I
    bought it a year ago. I am getting an error message
    sometimes when I shut down my computer.
    
    The error reads as follows: Referenced memory
    at "0x00000008". The memory could not be read.
    
    It does not seem to affect my computer in any way, and I
    simply acknowlege it, and the computer shuts down
    nomally. Is there any way to do away with this error? It
    only happens when I shut down, but not on every attempt.
    
    Thanks in Advance

  - Windows XP Support >> Cannot install german language support for english Word 2003 installationI am getting the well known "Cannot find proofing tool for german (Germany)" error popup when
    I opened a Word document with Word 2003.
    
    According to some recommendations I went to menu
    
    Start->Programs->MsOffice->MsOfficeTools->Ms Office 2003 Language Settings
    
    After analyzation of the current MsOffice installation a dialog pops up
    where on the right (="already installed") side german is already listed but greyed out/disabled.
    
    Maybe this is because I used an english MsOffice 2003.
    
    So I have I problem: I cannot add german (Germany) from the left side to the right
    side because it already exists. Moreover I cannot remove it (for later re-adding)
    on the right side because it is disabled.
    
    Why ist german greyed out/disabled ?
    
    How can I otherwise add "german (Germany)" language support ?
    
    By the way: Adding "german (Austria)" language support does NOT help/remove my
    original "Missing proofing tool" problem.
    
    Why are hundreds of languages available on the left side but not "german (Germany)"?
    
    Is the language support for one language embedded in a single file which I could take from another
    computer and copy it to the local installation ?

    I have about 75 tasks running and want to go through them and remove the

    Any Ideas out there (besides a screen shot)?
