- Windows XP Support >> copying files pointed to be shortcutHello,
I have a folder containing a bunch of shortcuts that point all over my hard
drive to various files. I would like to copy the files pointed to (NOT the
shortcut files themselves) to a folder on a CD.
Is there a way in XP, file manager, or some utility I can use to do this?
Thanks for your help!

- Windows XP Support >> Obtaining an IP address at startupI have a new dell with windows xp. When I boot it always defaults to the

This happens with our without my router. I think I have checked all the

- Windows XP >> No System Checkpoints - Why?Hi - My System Restore has stopped issuing regular System Checkpoints. They
used to be created about every 2 days. It seems to have stopped when I
updated to Adobe 7.08. I also found QuickTime didn't work either and had to
reinstall it!
Also when I download anything now, the date the file was created is always
the date it was downloaded, why is this happening? - Thanks for any info
regarding these two irksome problems. - Andrew.

- Windows XP Network >> Wireless security problem.Hello,
I have a mshome network thru a hub with on attached via a wireless
gateway which also is a gateway to the Internet.
I have tested security from the internet and the firewall is fine and my
network can't be seen however..
I had a friend over with his wireless laptop and he was able to get to
my network via Network Places etc. I had to tell him the network name,
still it registered as insecure.
In Network properties I set the Wireless connection using the WEP with
windows giving the security number automatically and it says it is
secure, but obviously isn't.
How do I secure my wireless network with XP?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Need HelpHi,
I have a P4 2.66, 512mb ram, 40gb maxtor hd with Windows
XP Professional SP1 installed. The computer is not even 2
months old and at least 4 or 5 times throughout the day
(totally random) a black box will appear on the screen
with yellow text in it that says "Off Mode in 5 Seconds"
and then the computer shuts down. I am able to start it
back up again and it could run for 90 min or more before
it happens again.
Any Ideas?

It is listed on the Startup tab of the System Configuration Utility
(msconfig) but a better solution is to open AIM and change the startup
options (and they are there) from within the program.

- Windows XP >> Serial to USB: Drivers not acceptedI have been trying to connect my old Palm PDA to my new computer, which has
only USB ports. I have purchased a Serial-to-USB converter cable, and
obtained the drivers for that cable. I have also downloaded the USB driver
for XP from the Palm site. When I try to connect the PDA to the computer,
and the hardware installation wizard comes up, I have directed it to either
the Palm or other proprietary USB driver folder, and get a message saying
that the hardware will not be installed because the required software is not
in the folder. What can I do to get XP to recognize either of these drivers?
Or does XP have its own serial-toUSB driver that I am supposed to be using?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Display colors are messed upLately the display colrs have been a little strange. The contrast is off and it cannot be changed by the display settings on the monitor or on the computer itself. The colors are very bright and it is very hard to read writing on the computer that may be important. The tones of the colors are also off and make it difficult to comprehend what the users of the computer are trying to read. It would be a great help if anyone could please direct me to solve this problem with the colors in general of my computer. Please help. Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> All Services Disabled!Apparently, something malicious attacked my pc and disabled ALL services.
Microsoft assisted me with re-starting some of these so that I was able to
get back on line, print, and use Help & Support, but many are still disabled.
Does anyone publish a list of recommended default services that should be
enabled/started?
This is a single home computer running XP SR2. I am a power Office user and
utilize my pc as my sound system. I do lots of web research.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Recommended Authoring software?Hi all...
Would be interested to hear comments on what people would recommend as good
authoring software. Looking for something that will take the video from a
miniDVD camcorder and allow me to edit it and save it in a format ready for
burning to a 4.7Gb DVD.
Out of interest what format is the video converted to prior to burning to
DVD?

- Windows XP Support >> VERY slow CD recognition and initial playing and ejecting on a very fast computerMy year-and-a-half-old Gateway computer (with hyperthreading, 512 MB 333MHz
DDR RAM, and an Intel Pentium 4 Processor -- 3.06 GHz with 533 MHz FSB --
whatever that all means, including all the bells and whistles) takes forever
to recognize a CD when I put it in either drive. For example, when I want to
record something to a CD and I put the blank CD in either drive, the green
light on the drive comes on briefly, then it goes out and for the next few
minutes nothing seems to be happening -- no hourglass on screen, nothing. My
computer does not show that a disk has been put in the drive. Then, after a
few minutes, the windows window finally opens and shows me the list of
suggested programs to use to deal with the CD.
Likewise, when I push the button on either drive to try to eject the CD,
nothing happens for a few minutes. Eventually, however, it does eject.
This is true for blank CDs and program CDs that I buy. When I play the same
CDs on my older, MUCH slower computers, they always load quickly.
I am running Norton Internet Security (current) and Webroot Spy Sweeper. I
tried the Microsoft AntiSpy Beta program but it reported no Spyware before I
installed and ran the Webroot product and found that there were quite a few.
So, I uninstalled the Microsoft program.
I assume something is running in the background and is hogging system
resources but I cannot figure out what. Remembering what trouble old TSR
(Terminate and Stay Resident) programs used to cause to older versions of
Windows, I uninstalled programs that I do not need and even tried disabling
Norton Internet Security but that made no difference.
Please help if you can. Please reply to AutoMatters@Yahoo.com. Thank you.

- Windows XP Network >> Access Permissions in XP ProI want to share a folder and give write access to anyone,
but with password protection. I plan to put the password
in the folder's comments tag: i just need superficial
password protection to stop the viruses dumping stuff in

Also, is there a way i can limit the size to which the
folder can grow, aside from putting it in a seperate
partition?
