- Windows XP >> CPU usage reaches 100% maximum problemMy CPU usage maximizes at 100% when I am connected to the
net. I connect through an Ethernet card and a cable modem.
In the taskmanager, I see that 99% of CPU power is being
used by "services.exe" and "svchost.exe"! This leaves
practically no resources for me to use for any other
programs, including internet browsing. The result is that
all programs that I try to launch run at a bare minimum.
I have a Pentium 4 at 1.7ghz and 500mb of Rambus 800 RAM.
I thought that some hacker might be messing around with
my ports, so I tried to enable the Microsoft firewall on
my network adapter. I received an errotr message,
indicating access denied. I believe that this also has
something to do with the problem.
If I disconnect my modem before powering up the system,
the problem does not occur. Once the network adapter
recognizes the modem, the CPU problem begins again.
Since I would like to continue to use the internet, I
would appreciate any help or guidance that anyone might
have.

im running XP on a partition of my hard drive, along with
millenium. the problem is that my memory for the XP

hour). when i open the drive in 'my computer' and look at
the total size of the files inside, it is a lot lower

shrink. PLEASE HELP

- Windows XP Setup >> Custom SetupIs there a way to customize installations of Windows XP so there is no user
interaction during the setup? Maybe something like you can do with the
Office
XP Custom Installation Wizard? The Custom Installation Wizard brings up all
avaliable installation options and you can choose the ones you want and it
creates a response file, you then run setup with the response file.
Thanks for any assistance.

- Windows XP Network >> Error when mapping network drivesHallo,
My network has w98, w2k and wXP clients. I use windows nt 4.0 sp6 as domain
controller.
In the pdc logon scripts there are sentences that map network drivers as
follows:
NET USE O: /DELETE /YES
net use O: \\server1\folder1 /yes
Recently, I have changed that sentences for this ones:
NET USE O: /DELETE /YES
net use O: \\server2\folder1 /yes
when restart w98 and w2k clients map network dives correctly but wxp
sometimes map network drives to server1 and sometimes to server2.
I reviewed logon script in both pdc and bdc but there is no file contained
mappings instructions to server1.
I also reviewed DNS and WINS seaching any conflict with server1 and server2
but also seems to be good.
Why wxp are still mapping network drivers to server1 at logon??.
Thank you.

OS, setup DHCP, then setup AD and DNS (dcpromo). Is this the typical setp,

Also how can I be sure DNS is working correctly, pinging a device on the

- Windows XP Setup >> sysprep ignoring computer nameHi all,
I have a major problem on our network. Almost all of our systems were build
using ghost. sysprep was not run as part of the image so there are errors
everywhere. I have been working on deploying sysprep via sms but I have one
hang up. I have a custom app that queries the existing hostname and inserts
it into the .inf file. This works just fine. After running sysprep though the
user is prompted for the computer name? Any answers as to why the computer
name is being ignored by sysprep? here is my .inf file:

- Windows XP >> Trouble with Installation Packages (Windows Installer)I was wondering what was causing an error when I try to install certain programs I have downloaded. I get an error message stating "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." If anyone can help me out that'd be great! Just email me.

- Windows XP Basic >> Raid questionHi all.
I'm just back from a RAID 0 configuration.
I have a ASUS P4P800-SE as MB, P4 3.2 Ghz, last BIOS UPDATE, I have 2 HDD :
MAXTOR 6Y160M0 SATA, that I have configured as 1 "RAID 0" disk, the result
was terrible, sometime CHKDISK was starting by itself, and I have lost some
data so I'm back to use NORMAL disks.
I don't know if RAID 0 is really so instable (or this was only a problem of
mine) but I'd like to know which is the best (within a common system) RAID
configuration (0+1, 5, 10 ecc ecc)
I'd like also to know if someone else have had these kind of problem with
raid 0 config and this MB.
Thank

- Windows XP >> Can't see workgroup computers any moreRecently (within the past 2 weeks) I've lost my ability to see my workgroup
computers on 3 out of 4 computers on my home network. One computer can see
everything, but if I go to "My Network Places" on the other 3 computers, I
can't even see the workgroup "home". What makes this even more strange is
that if I manually type the name of my print server computer into the "add
printers" wizard, it finds it and adds the printer. So, all my computers can
print via my print server computer ------- it's just that "My Network Places"
seems to have stopped working on 3 of my 4 computers. On the computer that
it still works on, I can see all the other computers and access shared files.
I've checked that the Computer Browser, Server, and Workstation processes
are running on all 4 computers. Again, this hapened only over the last
couple of weeks. I know that there was a windows upgrade that was installed,
could this have caused the problem? ------ thanks in advance for your help.

Windows XP >> graphic memory
Visit the support website of the manufacturer of your computer or video =
card.
Search for the latest Windows XP compatible video adapter drivers.
Download and install them in accordance with the installation =
instructions.
Afterward, right-click on your Desktop and select:
Properties > Settings and adjust your Screen Resolution.
Make sure the Color Quality setting is set to Highest (32-bit).
Make sure to click "apply" after making setting changes.

- Windows XP Security >> No user accounts in welcome screenHere's a puzzler: My daughter's laptop (Compaq Presario
2100 running Windows XP Home) no longer shows any user
accounts in the friendly welcome screen -- so there's no
way to log in. Tried CTL-ALR-DEL twice to get the login
dialog, but it doesn't accept her username/password.
So, I tried booting in safe mode to get the Administrator
account. Alas, there are no account icons in the friendly
welcome screen in safe mode either! Tried CTL-ALT-DEL from
safe mode and typed Administrator/blank for
username/password to no avail. Tried a variety of
combinations of Administrator and Guest (upper and lower
case, etc.) and guesses at the password.
Is it possible that all accounts are disabled (e.g.
someone tried hacking in with wrong password too many
times)??
Have already read Q297221, Q283198, Q292742, Q281798, etc.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. Remember that I
can't get past the login screen, so please don't suggest
anything that uses Start/Run, Control Panel, Regedit, etc.

- Windows XP Network >> Cannot create a dial-up connectionI cannot make a dial up connection to my ISP. I checked my
windows XP configuration. I found there are several places
that seem misconfigured.
1. There is no dial up connection Icon in mt networking
place. I cannot create one
2. There is an advance menu item in the network connection
page, an option called dial up preference is there. When I
click this option, an error message appears, it reads:
error 711, remote access connection manager cannot be
loaded.
3. When I use the create a new connection wizard, I choose
connect internet, along the steps, I choose an option for
configure manually, then in the next step, I do not have
the options for selecting dial up with Modem and DSL. these
options are there but grey out, I cannot select them.
4. I found there are two services that are not started.
One is Remore Access connection manager, another one is
remote access auto connection manager. When I try to start
remote access connection manager, It gives me an error
reading, error 5, access is denied. I am the owner and main
user of my notebook.
My window version is windows XP professional, I did not
install SP1 yet.
Can anybody help me with this? It is very much appreciated.

I'm running a new laptop with Windows XP Pro Service Pack 1.

- Windows XP Basic >> Not Allowed to runasTo do my job I often need to open command prompt windows as a
different userid. Before upgrading to Windows XP I'd type in Start |
Run the command
runas /user:nw\userid cmd
and it would open the command prompt window. Now that I've been
upgraded to Win XP, when I try this I get the error:
C:\Documents and Settings\brian\>runas /user:nw\userid cmd
Enter the password for nw\userid:
Attempting to start cmd as user "nw\userid" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd
1327: Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are
blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy
restriction has been enforced.
How do I disable this policy to do my job? I do have Administrator
privilege on this PC. Logging off and back on as the other userid is
not an acceptable solution. Wastes far too much time and company
money.

- Windows XP >> Cannot format driveI am using Windows XP Home. I want to format a second internal drive. It
does not have an operating system, just data backup. I am getting the
following error message when I try to format:
Windows cannot format this drive. Quit any disk utilities or other programs
that are using this drive, and make sure that no window is displaying the
contents of the drive. Then try formatting again.
I closed all programs and system tray icons. I could not close the icon for
Norton Ghost v.9--there was no choice to close/exit. There also was no
close/exit choice for the Norton Anti-Virus icon-just a choice to disable.
What should I do now? Thanks for any help.

- Windows XP Hardware >> ATI TV Wonder VE FreezingHey guys. I just got an ATI TV Wonder VE PCI capture card, and it causes my
system to completely freeze up (running WinXP Pro). This apparently is a
pretty common problem as I've read a lot of people's complaints about it
online, but I have yet to find a solution.
Anyway, thanks a lot.

- Windows XP >> XP Setup (HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!)Hello,
I successfully installed my Windows XP on a ECS K7S5a Pro
motherboard with Athlon 2.1 gig processor. I successfully
used the machine the first time I logged on to my Windows
XP PC. However, I shut down the machine properly, then
powered it up, and I noticed some weirdness (mouse would
not respond when I started up a game I played on the
initial logon mentioned above.
Things got really bad so I ended up uninstalling XP.
When I attempted to reinstall it from the CD, I booted
from the CD and the blue Windows Setup screen came up.
Then a couple different messages came up on the bottom line
telling me to press F2 and then another line said to press
F6. I did neither, and then the F6 message went away, and
I got one of two things:
1- Nothing at all happened (bluw screen with "Windows
Setp" title and no other messages (I waited for 20
minutes).
2-Error message displayed
"An unexpected error (0) occurred at
d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\arcdisp.c"
I tried many things and got the exact same result:
0- Tried a different XP CD.
1- Purchased another motherboard of the same exact model
and processor type.
2- tried installing with a different AGP card installed.
3- Tried disconnecting the DVD and floppy drives.
4- reformatted hard drive using utilities that came with
hard drive as well as using fdisk.
5-Tried different hard drive
**NOTE**I installed windows 98 successfully, so then I
tried
removing windows 98, and installing XP, but got the
same results!!!!!!!
I do not know what to do, any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Bruce

- Windows XP Setup >> Laptop partition managementI need a step by step listing to repartition a factory NTFS formatted
XPPRO without having to reinstall from scratch and then reapply
patches, configuration, etc. My next step is to apply a boot manager
to the laptop while keeping XPpro happy.
I understand from another newsgroup thread that W2K onwards there are
at least a register key "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\SystemPartition" that need
to be adjusted. (see thread 4 at
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=MPG.191141cddf3a4f0d9896c0%40nntp&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DISO-8859-1%26q%3Dxp%2Bpartition%26meta%3Dgroup%253Dalt.*)
Concerns over Windows Product Activation exist because I have a habbit
of losing software keys. Other difficulties include:
1) the 20G harddisk is not very portable as it is in a laptop with
warranty;
2) I do not have a floppy on laptop. I have spent the money for a USB
floppy on
things like Partition Magic instead.
I do have these additional resources (besides you experts on the net)
1) two firewire ports on the laptop, and an external harddisk case
with firewire interface.
2) A CD burner still usable from an existing desktop. The external
firewire
casing can take that CD burner.
I also have been lucky so far. Using Partition Magic 8 I was able to
create FAT data partitions from the previously single 20G NTFS
partition. This will allow the laptop data to be communicated to older
OS such as W98SE which will be added once the boot manager is up and
running.
I would like to learn from experiences from people in the two
newsgroups (microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment and
alt.os.windows.xp) who have already successfully done configuration
changes on XP beyond what I have already done. I am very much worried
by reading about XP's hard coded partition information within the
installation.
Thanks in advance for sharing your insights and apologise for
X-posting.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Reformat & Clean Install WIN XP NTFS ~ How?I am accustomed to using FDISK and FORMAT to reformat a
hard drive in Windows 9x prior to doing a clean install.
What is the equivalent procedure for a HD that has the NTFS
version of Win XP installed on it? In other words, how do
you create a single new partition and format a drive for
Win XP NTFS?
I have not seen this discussed anywhere.
Thanks for any advice.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Slow start upI purchased a Sony Vaio last year with windows xp home
edition installed pre-installed. I purchased a windows
xp office (professional) package to load on to the PC.
Start up was fine and quite fast. Lately however, it
seems to have slowed down. Often it seems to pause
during set up and hang almost before it continues. What
could be causing this?
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
