- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Office 2000 apps running very slow under win XPI have several Pentium 4 3.2 pcs running win xp pro and Office 2k pro that I
have deployed to replace win 2k pcs running Office 2000 pro. We are also
moving from Mcafee to Sophos. Some of the new pcs have the Sophos. A number
of my people are complaining that Office is running really slow for them on
the XP computers. When I rehook them back to their win2k pcs they are fine.
Why are the newer and more powerful pcs running slower? Any suggestions would
be most appreciated

- Windows XP Support >> no active desktop messagei recently had a problem with a virus in wich I had to edit my registry so I
could change my background(the values it added would not allow it). After I
Restarted windows I got the " no active desktop" message.I think I may have
removed more than I needed. Now there is a grey column covering the left side
of my screen that wont go away. Any way to fix this?

- Windows XP Network >> XP to XP slow opening folder over the networkI have a client with simply 2 brand new Compaq Presario
desktop PC's -- both identical -- running Windows XP Pro
(upgraded from XP Home) with 512 MB RAM, Pentium 4 - 2.4
Ghz, and 120 GB hard drives. They also have Realtek NICs
and I've updated the NIC drivers already. I also installed
new NetGear NICs and disabled the onboard RealTeks.
The client has a brand new NetGear 10/100 Mbps switch, all
cabling is CAT 5. Whenever they go to access a folder
over the network that contains 1,000 or 2,000 files, it
takes between ten and twenty seconds for those objects to
appear using My Computer or Windows Explorer. It seems to
take even longer when accessing those folders over the
network from MS Word, using File, Open. Does not matter
what VIEW we use either. This happens even if we connect
both PCs via a crossover cable.
However, if we hook up a Windows 2000 PC, a Windows Server
2003 PC, or even an OLD Windows 98 PC, it opens those
folders over the network instantly! And, on the local
machine, access is super fast. Also, we installed a
different hard drive with Windows XP on it (just for
kicks) that is fast on another computer, and still
performance over the network is slow. It seems that
either the NIC or the motherboard is part of the problem,
but we don't know for sure. A new Dell notebook running
XP is also slow opening those same folders over the
network!
Nothing that we've tried has worked. Here's what we've
tried:
1) The first thing I would check is if netbios over
tcp/ip is enabled on both machines. Many will argue that
it is no longer needed but that is not what my testing has
revealed.
2) Turn off simple file sharing, to allow classic file
sharing based on username other than Guest and password,
go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, and
uncheck "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)". Click on
OK. Then reboot.
3) What Virus scanning software is installed on the
systems? Has it been reinstalled since the "upgrade" to XP
pro? I would recommend uninstalling it and reinstalling it
with a reboot in between. Please be sure it is then
updated with all the recommended virus definitions and
engine upgrade the vendor recommends (there are a few
particularly bad bugs going around right now)
4) On the XP operating system a unique "feature" I have
seen cause problems it the c:\windows\prefetch folder I
would delete all the items in that folder. They will
dynamically recreate any required files and I have seen
this "clean up" resolve several explorer performance
issues.
5) Make sure you install the latest service pack for
Windows XP and for Office XP.
6) You had mentioned that performance is worse on the
network. The following command will reset the TCP/IP stack
to the original configuration as far as all performance
settings (in Windows 2000 the equivalent would be
reinstalling TCP/IP, which cannot be done in XP). type the
following from a command prompt
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
8) As a last resort you could try disabling the indexing
service, ironically on very large file structures it slows
down performance. The downside is you will not be able to
perform searches of the file system on the machine it is
disabled on.
9) Run adaware, it can e obtained from
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ The standard
version is a free download, you never know what it might
find.

- Windows XP Network >> Re: How to for EthernetSee my previous message on this topic dated 2/5/04 if necessary.
The 85' cat 5 cable does not have any crossed pairs. I tested the cable ends
of the RJ45 plugs with an ohmmeter and all are correct. They are the same on
both ends. Any other thoughts as to why this cable won't transmit the signal
from the D-Link DI 614+ wireless router but WILL work with the signal from
the Ethernet port of the cable modem? A 10' ethernet cable will work with
the router.
I am trying to get my wife off my back about her internet connection not
working consistently with the current HPNA 2.0 connection. I wrote about
this previously in a message but got no replies. This message is copied
below.
I have a home network set up all with XP machines. The main machine, on a
cable modem, is connected with the other two with a HPNA net that has worked
well for several years. In the past few months the laptop which is connected
as a client machine has begun to intermittently come up with the message
that the network cable is disconnected and of course does not work at that
time. Sometimes it comes and goes a very few seconds or minutes and other
times it will work for longer periods. I thought it was the HPNA adapter so
I changed it to a new one a USB Netgear. It essentially does the same thing.
No amount of fiddling will make it work consistently. All this time the
other client on the HPNA net works without any problem. I have also run an
telephone extension from another room just to check it and it does work but
is also at longer intervals seems to stop working and the network LED on the
adapter goes out while the USB light stays on. Here is a really strange
finding. If at this point I connect a telephone to the HPNA adapter in the
provided jack for a phone and lift the handset and get a dialtone the
network immediately starts working again. When it eventually stops working
and the network cable is disconnected message comes on I can again lift the
phone handset and immediately the whole thing works again. I have decided
the problem must be in the computer itself and am considering reformatting
and doing a clean install of XP to see if that corrects the problem,but I
thought I would seek advice before I did it. This same laptop works ok on a
wireless network but I don't want to use it because of portable telephone
interference. It also works on an ethernet cable but not on an 85' cable
that it would take to reach that room if permanently hardwired. I would need
some kind of ethernet booster?? Any thoughts? Thanks.
Thanks. Paul

- Windows XP Network >> More file/printer sharingHi folks. First let me say that I have tried to solve my issue by reading
through previous posts but as yet have had no luck, so i hope someone can
help me.
I am running a home network with a dektop and a laptop, connected directly
by Cat5 cable. The desktop connects to the internet via internal dial-up
modem.
The desktop is running XP Home and the laptop XP Pro. Both are updated to
the hilt. Desktop was previously running McAfee PF+ but it has been
uninstalled. After reading a previous thread I found and followed
instructions for a deeper manual uninstall.
I have run the home networking wizard about 300 times. ICS works fine.
Desktop can see shared folders on Laptop, but Laptop cannot see any shared
folders, or the printer, on Desktop. If I try to map a network drive nothing
comes up under Desktop, and if i right-click and choose Open I get the
following message:
"\\Desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer."
Hope you can help. Let me know if there is any further info you need.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Update on slowdowns and SP1 installI allowed the installation of SP1 express to sit for over
and hour, and eventually it did install fully, despite
the "page file" error that many seem to be experiencing.
However, I'm STILL getting the massive slowdowns that are
caused by the page file system. It automatically loads the
entire page file system with a ton of stuff (I don't know
what), and causes the computer to become virtually
useless. Who can I complain to to fix this? What's their
email? Thanks.

- Windows XP Support >> Video ProblemI'm having a problem playing videos. They will play in WMP but when I try to

this file. If the file is located on the internet, connect to the internet.
If the file is located on a removable storage card, insert the card." I used
to be able to play trailers. I thought it might be my video card but if so
wouldn't I have problems playing videos in WMP?

- Windows XP >> Blue Screen on Shut-downwhen I try to shut down Windows XP Pro I get a blue screen with following
message.

***nv_agp.sys-Address F9E62DAB base at F9E62000 Datestamp 3d7903e1
The Standby (orange) button is also 'greyed-out' on shut-down.
Prior to this it appears IE7 got installed before SP2 - Why, I dont know, as
I have Microsoft Automatic Updates!
Due to the conflicts the above updates were creating between themselves and
other applications, I tried uninstalling IE7 (so I could start from stratch
and begin with SP2) but got a warning that, if I do this, programmes etc
installed after IE7 will not work properly if they are dependant on it. How
would I know? (There are quiet a few; mostly Windows updates!)
IE7 still does not work by the way ("Page Cannot be Displayed" error) so Im
using Firefox to access internet - which is not ideal when Ive found certain
downloads/media players don't work with it.
It has been suggested to me that an essential file may have been lost - how
do I know/find out?
Can anyone please help.
Many Thanks

Windows XP Network >> Possible DNS problem with user ID?
I'm moving computers from a server in a workgroup to a new server in a
recently created domain. 28 out of the 30 computers have been joined to the
new domain without any problem. I upgraded one of the users (already
successfully joined to the domain) to a new computer. To do so, I used Norton
Ghost to copy the old hard drive, ran a repair using Windows XP Pro w/ SP1,
updated to SP2, and downloaded all the updates from Microsoft Update. I can
no longer connect the user of the new computer to the workgroup server unless
I do so by using the IP address of the workgroup server.
If I ping the workgroup server by name, I get the error â??Ping request could
not find host <server name>. Please check the name and try again.â?? If I ping
the server by IP address, I get responses every time. Iâ??ve tried using
â??ipconfig /flushdnsâ?? and then using â??ipconfig /releaseâ??, but I get the error
â??The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this
operation. If I try to run â??ipconfig /renewâ?? I get the same error message.
It seems like it has to be machine related because I can sign onto other
computers with the userâ??s ID and I have no problems connecting with the old
server. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Windows XP Network >> Possible DNS problem with user ID?
Bob,
Thanks for your reply. I checked the TCP/IP settings and ran through the
troubleshooting info that you suggested. Didn't have any success.
However, I noticed when I went to another computer that the new computer I
upgraded appears under both the workgroup and the new domain in Windows
Explorer. Is it possible that one of the servers, either the workgroup server
or the domain server, has not let go of a connection from the old computer
that was replaced? I'm going to reboot both servers when no one is connected
to them and see if that solves the problem.
If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Network >> close ping?I went to Steve Gibson's website ( https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0ciyl2 )
checking my internet connection, etc.. It states that:
Ping Reply: RECEIVED (FAILED) - Your system REPLIED to our Ping (ICMP Echo)
requests, making it visible on the Internet. Most personal firewalls can be
configured to block, drop, and ignore such ping requests in order to better
hide systems from hackers. This is highly recommended since "Ping" is among
the oldest and most common methods used to locate systems prior to further
exploitation.

ZoneAlarm configured to deny it.
I have scoured the web for info on this process,
including Microsoft's site and Google, but I get no
matches. I am wondering if I have a worm/virus and am
pondering just deleting/disabling it, but I worry about
what might happen if it is, in fact, a necessary
component of windows.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly
appreciated. Please email me at the address above,
removing the obvious part of course.
Thanks
Mike

- Windows XP Hardware >> Windows slow to show contents of USB 2 Hard Disk.I have an external USB 2 Hard Disk and when I click on it
Windows Explorer takes an inordinate amount of time to
show the contents. This occurred after applying Windows XP
Service Pack 1. Prior to this it worked fine opening
immediately. I could not find a fix for this in the
knowledge base articles. Does anyone know of a fix for
this problem?
