- Windows XP Security >> Changing User AccountPosted this also in general
We have several computers in our office that were set up with Administrator
user accounts. I want to change the accounts to either a restricted user or
Power user. When I first tried changing to a restricted user I had a few
problems they were:
1. AutoCad would not open. Stated I needed to reinstall.
2. Could not open up a word document. Did not have rights to.. Just on one
machine, others were fine.
3. Half of the favorite links in Explorer did not work.
Changed user to a power user and it fixed problem 1. Have had to change user
back to administrator.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dwayne

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Windows XP RepairAfter I changed the mother board etc on my computer I did a repair set up of
XP which seemed to work OK except that at one stage (nothing particular
happening) the screen went blue due to a stop situation and then a message
appeared:
Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disc
Followed by a count down to about 100 and then the computer rebooted and
everything was OK.
An error message was sent to Microsoft which said something about a paging
error in a non paging area and suggested an updated graphics driver. As the
driver was the latest NVidia driver I am somewhat perplexed as to what
actually happened. Any suggestions please?
Cheers

- Windows XP Hardware >> JMicron Technology Corp - GIGABYTE GBB36X ControllerI downloaded a hardware update from the windows update website with the
result that my dvd-rw is no longer accessable (i.e. not visible in "my
computer"). I know for a fact that this occurs only when drivers are
installed on my machine that deal with raid configurations etc (my
motherboard doesn't support this (GA965-DS3)). I learnt this through trial
and error when installing the motherboard drivers that came on the driver cd
and had the same missing dvd-rw drive scenario occur. This is what happens
when companies cut corners and ship 1 driver cd for different model
motherboards i guess.
The solution to getting my dvd-rw back when I installed the motherboard cd
driver was simply to un-install it and everything worked fine. However I
can't seem to uninstall this infernal windows update hardware version of
Gigabyte's raid driver as upon reloading Windows it now detects my hardrive
as a new pieve of hardware and promptly re-installs the driver downloaded
through windows update. The other annoying thing is that now I have a icon in
the on my taskbar that represents a plug and play piece of hardware (my hard
drive) and when I go to eject it it of course says it can't...no duh!
So I ask 2 things:
1. How to I un-install this driver that exhibits alot of characteristics
akin to spyware.
2. Microsoft needs to be more careful which 3rd party companies it allows
into their update service.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Blue Screens....im desperateOS- Windows XP Pro Edition
Motherbaord - Soltek SL-75FRN2
Ram - DDR 400 512mb, one chip
Display card - Nv Geforce Fx5200
Im am having on my new custom made computer 3 weeks old.
It frequently crashes to blue screens sometimes in
reference to portcls.sys, nv4_mini.sys and some time
restarts. This is and i stress usually when i am playing
high spec games and or many applications are open. I have
been and had the mainboard and ram replaced to see if
that fixed it. I have also run a diagnostics test that
all passes except for one section called Stride6. All
windows files are fine and drivers are all up to date.
In device manager on thing is exclamation marked, the wdm
video capture (universal) could there be a problem with
the video card? Hardware temperatures are all normal.
would compatibility be an issue? I have no idea what to
do. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Setup >> Download.exe not respondingI take an online college class which requires a Shockwave player, however the Download.exe is not responding and I'm unable to download Shockwave. This is a new computer with XP. I've done other downloads on this computer and haven't had any problems. Is there a compatibility issue with XP and Shockwave, or could the problem be elsewhere? I sent the error report but so far nothing has happened.

- customize >> Windows explorer folder propertiesWhen I right click on a folder in windows explorer and
select the properties option, the size, numer of files
and subfolders displays 0. It used to display the size
and the contents of the folder. Can someone help me
figure out how to fix this option so that I can get
accurate values?
These are not system folders. It's occurring on all of
my folders. For example, in My Documents I have a folder
that I use to put various recipes into, that includes sub
folders for dishes, such as deserts, appetizers and the
like. I track the properties so that when the folder is
large enough I can burn it onto a cd.
Any ideas of why the properties will not display any
values?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> ultimate "remove programs"When I go into the "add/remove programs" section it has
several programs in there that are "unresponsive." That
is, I click on "Fisher-Price Big Action Construction" and
it says, "Unable to locate the login file 'c:\apps\kids
0801\DeIsL1.isu'. Uninstallation will not continue."
It's most probable that I did a lousy "uninstall by hand"
a few years ago, and the system still thinks it is
there. However, when I search for "Fisher" anywhere on
my computer it doesn't come up.
Is there something that tracks down these "add/remove
program" identifier files and then lets me get rid of
them? Or is there a better plan? Thank you.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Transferring collections to a different Windows UserHow do I transfer or copy my collections to another Windows User on the
same computer?
I just started using Windows Movie Maker. After working with it for awhile,
I decided to set up a separate Windows User, to use Movie Maker in.
Now I would like to move all the collections I've been working on to this
new user, but I can't figure out how. I tried copying the MEDIATAB1.DAT
file to the corresponding directory for the new user, but then when I start
Movie Maker as that user, it doesn't use that file. In fact, it deletes
that file and replaces it with a new one, with no collections.
- Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Problem Saving A Edited ClipTrying to learn video terminology.
I edit a clip properly. The trim line is at the proper spot.
I split or cut and save the new clip.
I know that split and cut are 2 different actions.
Tried both-No luck.
What I don't understand is: When I get out of MM2 and then go
back, why does the original full clip show up instead of the edited
clip?
Example: Play clip to remove commerical. Commerical cut or split.
New clip saved. Get out of program and later restart. The
commerical is still there.
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) What happens to the clip I saved?
Thanks in advance

me and takes up a ton of time when entering data from one app to another.

- Windows XP >> registry cleaner screwing up IE7Hi,
I just installed Abexo Registry Cleaner Free, and cleaned up my registry.
My computer is faster (very faster), however, it just chewed up IE's a...
I'd better not say it.
I just reset my browser and it is so annoying. It thinks I'm with AAPT when
we are with a different ISP. It still connects to the internet (thank god),
but I want to make sure that it didn't mess about with my computer. Is there
anyone who had this before?
Thank's in advance.

You have the MSBlaster worm. To remove it, do the following:
The following instructions are in three parts
1. Stop it from running
2. Remove it from your system
3. Make sure it doesn't come back
Before beginning, if you have an always-on internet connection,
it's a good idea to disconnect it.
1. Stop it from running
Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the Task Manager, then on the
Processes tab, click msblast.exe and then "End process." Reply
"Yes" to the warning message that comes up.
This stops the worm from running, so your system will not shut
down. However, it doesn't remove it, and if that's all you do, it
will start up again the next time you boot.
***
2. Remove it from your system
a. Start the registry editor program, regedit, by going to Start
| Run, and typing REGEDIT
Navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Run by clicking the plus signs next to each of the
folders in the left hand pane. When you get to the last of them,
Run, click the word Run itself.
Find an entry called "Windows Auto Update" on the right side.
Right-click it and delete it.
b. Do a Windows search for msblast, and delete all files found.
The worm is now gone, and won't start again the next time you
boot. But if that's all you do, you can get reinfected just as
you did the first time.
***
3. Make sure it doesn't come back
a. Make sure you're running a firewall that prevents worms like
this from getting in. You can enable the built-in Windows XP
firewall, or download and install another one such as the free
version of ZoneAlarm. To enable the built-in firewall, go to
Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections,
then click Network Connections. Right-click your connection, then
click Properties, and on the Advanced tab, click the option
"Protect my computer and network..."
b. If you've disconnected your internet connection, reconnect it.
Download and install the Microsoft patch at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/8/b/98bcfad8-afbc-458f-aaee-b7a52a983f01/WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe
That will remove the vulnerability that the worm exploits.
c. Be sure you are running an anti-virus program, and that you
regularly download the latest updated virus definitions.
