- Windows XP Update >> NetscapeI am trying to download your free netscape navigator 7.2 download and it
gets to a certain point in the download with this error message:
"Setup has encountered a network problem and has paused the download.
If you've just lost your connection, please click Resume once your network
has been
reestablished". I've never lost my connection and everytime I hit Resume
I get this message again. What is the problem?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When replying I need step by step instructions on what I need to do. don't
just say for example "That's usually a profile-related problem - dig around
in your
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\ directory for the profile and rename it.
Or run Netscape's profile Manager and create a new one".
In this case, what profile? How would I run Netscapes profile's Mgr.?

- Windows XP >> "Windows Genuine Advantage...." System Update?Just re-imaged my home PC and a Windows update that I've been
avoiding all year slipped through.
Something like "Windows Genuine Advantage something-or-other"
Just the name sounds ominous to me - practically pegs my BS
meter.
Am I worrying over nothing?
Can anybody elucidate?

- Windows XP Security >> Remote Attacker?I was using my computer off-line when the phone rang and through my speakers
I heard the modem pick-up & a computer/fax signal.
(I have a Dell Win. XP SP-2, with a dial-up connection and CA eTrust
Personal Firewall.)
When I checked the eTrust logs, I found that several inbound communications
had been blocked including two attempts made (at about the same time as I
heard my modem pick up) originating from DNS source:
"dedicated67.fastcolocation.net".
I was concerned when I heard my modem respond without my log on.
Apparently, the etrust firewall blocked it, but why was another computer able
to call my machine and have it pick-up the phone? Is this a symptom of a
greater security threat?

- Windows XP Setup >> Installing SP2 questionAs we all know, Windows and inparticular the registry get
overly bloated. Especially when installing and unistalling
software. So, once a year I clean out my system by
formatting and reinstalling windows. My question is this;
can I install XP Pro (original), bypass the 4 hours of
downloading and updating to SP1 and all other critical
updates, and go straight to SP2? If I have to install SP1
first, where can I download SP1 and all the other critical
updates seperately so I have them on file when I go on to
the next machine in six months?

- Windows XP Setup >> Corrupt WinXPHome startup files; Ways to RecoverProblem:
When starting up WinXPHome Toshiba laptop, it keeps going
around in circles between WinXP Welcome screen and
rebooting. I believe that some start-up files have been
corrupted.
History:
During a SVCPak1 installation from CDROM while on battery
power, the battery power ran out (my wife couldn't find
her AC power cord) and the computer shut down during the
installation. I believe she probably tried to restart it
a few times, but there wasn't enough battery power left.
Upon finding AC power cord, she observed symptoms listed
above when restarting.
Same Welcome Win -> Reboot cycle occured when I had her
try to start up in SafeMode or Last Known Config.
She called CompUSA Tech Support which came with computer
purchase and they basically told her that she either
needed a full copy of WinXP to recover or she would need
to use her Tohsiba Recovery Disk which would result in
her loosing all of her data. One problem is that since
the computer was purchased with WinXPHome on it, it
didn't come with the actual WinXPHome installation disks.
Questions:
1. I also have a Toshiba laptop running WinXPProf
(different laptop model than the hers). Can I create
some kind of recovery disk that would help her boot up
her system and repair the corrupted files?
If the WinXPHome recovery disk thing will work, I also
have access to someone running WinXPHome on their desktop.
If this will work, how do I create a WinXP recovery disk
and is it computer manufacturer independant?
2. My copy of WinXPProf is an upgrade copy. Would this
upgrade installation disk be able to help her out or do I
need an actual WinXPHome installation disk to make things
work?
Is there any cross licensing issues that I would need to
be concerned with if I did this [Both copies are licensed
but to different computers]
3. Any other suggestions? Was the CompUSA guy correct
when he told her that the Toshiba Recovery disk would
wipe out all of her data if she were to run it, as a last
resort?
Thank you and sorry for the length of the post!

- Windows XP >> Cleaning Out Temp FilesHello,
When cleaning out temp files from my system, should I clear both the Temp
folder in Documents and Settings and the one in the Windows folder?
Are there any other temp or other files that should be cleaned out
routinely?

- Windows XP Support >> Any problems associated with installing applications on a different partition?Lot's of my programs keep freezing up and "program not responding".
About 20% of them for some reason. Mostly they come back after several
seconds but some take up to 30 seconds or more and the odd one I have
to end program.
In the absence of any rational explanation I'm wondering if it could
be anything to do with having Windows XP (SP2) installed on C: but
installing all my programs to partition E:?

- Windows XP >> Retail version of XP Pro vs. regular versionI bought a Gateway notebook with Windows XP Pro installed as well as
Microsoft Office. It has:
CPU: Intel Celeron M 360 1.4 GHz
Memory: 512MB (1 x 512MB)DDR PC2700 SO-DIMM
Video: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Integrated NB
Audio: AC '97
I installed an older (Pre XP) version of a program called Tenant Pro 5. I
had been running it on a Windows 98SE desktop prior to this. When I tried to
run it I got the windows message about having to shut down Tenant Pro before
it even started. I removed it and reinstalled it several times but got the
same result. I tried loading and running it on my computer with Windows XP
Pro and it ran fine.
I contacted Gateway but they pushed me off onto Tentant Pro to ask for an
OEM patch. Tentant Pro no longer supports version 5 since they now have
version 7 out. They did say that version 5 was available before XP and that
some computers will run it and others will not. They therefore don't have an
OEM patch.
Any suggestions? I'd really like to run it on the notebook.
TIA,
AndyF

- Windows XP Setup >> is it possible to partition a partition?I just installed XP Pro on my computer. I made a mistake
during the partition process and I made one giant
partition (about 30 gig). Now that XP is fully installed
I wanted to make this one big partition into two. Disk
Management won't seem to let me do this. Is there any
thing I can change? Let me know if you have any
suggestions. Thanks

- Windows XP >> Some websites want a dialup connectionI've got a DSL connection & Win xp Pro. Sometimes I visit certain web sites
and the computer suddenly pops up my dialup connection dialog box, even
though the DSL connection is working fine. What's the reason for this?
Anyone know a way of looking behind the scenes to understand exactly what
source is calling that dialog box? Or, is there a way to keep it from
happening for ANY reason, regardless how valid?
This machine is absolutely, positively virus & spyware-free, incidentally.

- Windows XP Network >> Networking IssueI am trying to network three PCs (1 Desktop, and two laptops) wirelessly. The
desktop is hardwired to a router (BT make) and the two laptops have a
combination of wireless network card and a usb network card.
I have assigned them all to the same workgroup (HOME) and when I run the
search I can see all of the PCs connected. The issue I'm having is that when
I double click on one of the PCs to access the shared folders I get an error
message along the lines of access not granted and that I should contact the
administrator.
What are the ways our this? All PCs are running XP have the SP2 pack
installed.

- Windows XP >> Audio problems with Windows Media PlayerI suddenly lost the ability to use any of my software that has audio.
The lasst time I had audio was when I used Ulead software to burn a
DVD slide show with an audio sound track.
I have a P4, 1.3GHZ, Win XP, 1GHz of RAM and 2 hard drives, a 30 Gb
and a 100 Gb.
When I go to Real player I get the following. "Cannot open the audio
device, another application may be using it"
When I open Windows Media Player I get. "WMP cannot be used because
the required audio hardware cannot be found"
I went to the control panel and opened "Sounds & Audio Devices"
Under the "Volume Tab" I get "No audio device"
Under the Hardware Tab I get. "All working properly" when I check
each device in the list.
I'm Stumped!!!!!!!

- Windows XP Support >> How do you delete an Old OS in a Dual OS machine?I have two operating systems in my computer. W 98 and W XP Home. This is
because I upgraded my system from W 98 to W XP.
I have my system Hard drive set up, where I have two partitions (C & D). W
98 is located in Drive C which is formatted as FAT32 and W XP home is in D
formatted as NTFS. Now, when I boot up my system, it goes thru an initial
Black screen asking me which OS do I want to boot with, and I always pick XP.
This has been a bit annoying but I have learned to ignore it. However, it
does slow down the initial start up process.
My question is can I delete W98 from my machine since I don't need it anymore?
What is the best way to do this?
Can I just go to the C Drive and delete the Windows folder?
I am concerned that if I delete W98, there may be some shared folders that
might be needed for W XP to operate properly. I am concerned that my computer
will not boot up or work properly after the deletion of W 98.
All comments and advises are welcome.
Best regards,
Frank
