- Windows XP Hardware >> Maximum memory allowed for Windows XPI recently purchased an Asus motherboard that is supposed
to allow up to 4 GB of ram. However, I was told by a
memory chip manufacturer (Crucial), that Windows XP
applications cannot utilize any amount of memory over 2
GB. Does anyone have an answer for this? I have never
heard that going over 2GB in RAM would not work. Thank
you!

I tried this suggestion: Kelly, try a system file check.
Start>Run type: sfc /scannow Have
the winxp cd in the cdrom drive.
I cannot find my winxp cd but I did find out that I can
check my files and do the "system tool" activities
through "my computer" - "performance and maintenance" so
the programs are still there. I just want them back in
my program lists?

- Windows XP Support >> Error when trying to connect to XP from RD ClientI have one laptop (A) and two desktop computers (B) + (C), and all are
running XP Pro (SP2 and updated with MS updates)
Suddenly I got this problem which makes me unable to connect to one of the
desktops computer.
I used RD client on the laptop (A) to connect to my desktop computers, but
now the RD client gives some problem when I try to connect to desktop (B) â??
The laptop can still connect to desktop (C) and several other computer.
When I attempt to connect to desktop computer (B) I get to the login screen,
enter the name and password, then the RD Client go black and nothing happens.
I can cancel the RD Client on the laptop, but the desktop computer is not
responding and the screen is black and only showing the hour-glass. I have to
reboot the desktop compute (B) by pressing the switch ï??.
In the Event Log on the desktop computer (B) there is only one error
information, which is for the TermDD process:
"The RDP protocol component X.224 detected an error in the protocol stream
and has disconnected the client."
It has Event ID 50.
I have been trying to find information and help to solve this issue for over
a month with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So if you need
more information please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Clean Install of Windows XP --drive letters switched!I had to do a clean install of my Windows XP operating system.
Previously, my Windows installation was on my 80-gig C: drive. I also
had a 160 gig D: drive.
I did the install, things seem to be working, except ... now the C:
drive and D: drive are reversed. The system thinks Windows is
installed on the 80-gig D: drive now.
Can I change the drive letters without screwing things up? If so, how?

- Windows XP Setup >> USB device problemsI have a question about my USB devices. All of the USB devices when plugged
have a message pop up telling me that my computer does not recognize my
devices. I have read up a little on this forum and the suggestion to
uninstall and reinstall the software for my camera, mp3 player and phone. I
had reinstalled everythign and found the same problem, my computer doesn't
recognize any device, however my printer which is also plugged into the USB
port works fine and is recognized in any of the 6 ports i plug it into.
Is there anything I can try to do before I take it to a professional??
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Sharing with 2000 serverI need help!. I am trying to teach the use of windows XP
in sharing folders in a domain setting. When we go to the
share folder and go to permissions, the only thing that
we see is the local machine name. If we reboot the
computer, sometimes we can see the domain name in the
permissions for a very short time and then it goes away.
Have you ever heard of this and can you give me a hint as
to what the problem could be?
Our domain controller is a windows 2000 server and we are
on a local domain. Windows 2000 clients have no problem
setting up shares but in trying to use Windows XP we can
not get the permissions set.

- Windows XP Network >> XP Prof - Port 119 problem - News ReaderI used to be able to connect to news servers from my XP box. A few months back, my news reader stopped working
I have since tried several different news reader clients connecting to various news servers...all resulting on timeouts when trying to connect
When I telnet to port 119 on a news server, I can connect, and I can get a list of groups, but if I type the command 'MODE READER', which is the command the news clients are trying to run when they connect, I never get a response in telnet...it eventually times out
I have a linksys router connecting to the net via DSL. On my internal network, I have the XP Pro box, and a WinMe box. The WinME box has no problem running the 'MODE READER' command via telnet going thru the same router
XP's firewall is disabled. I had Sygate Personal Firewall installed on XP, but uninstalled it, and still had the problem
I suspect this problem started occuring with a SP or patch from MS, but not sure.
IP traffic of all other types seems to run fine, and I can connect to servers via port 119, just not get a response to the 'MODE READER' command (even tho this test works fine from the WinME box)
Any ideas or other folks with this issue

- Windows XP >> Extended support for XP is a joke just read the fine print.Just days before launching Windows Vista, Microsoft is pretending to
extend the support lifecycle for the consumer versions of its currently
shipping Windows XP system.
Microsoft is now providing five years of "mainstream" support, plus
five years of "extended support" for XP Media Center and XP Home
Edition.
Consequently, consumer versions of XP are now covered under mainstream
support through April 2009, and under extended support through April
2014.
The rip off iof this deal is in mainstream and extended support, the
difference is the way Microsoft treats non-security-focused hotfixes.
Under mainstream support, Microsoft provides these kinds of hotfixes
for free. Under extended, customers are required to pay for
non-security hotfixes and must sign an "extended hotfix agreement,
purchased within 90 days of mainstream support ending."
not so good news for all of those with older or lower powered computers
with Windows XP Home or MCE installed. Those computers will never see
Vista because they can't run it to it's full potential. So this will
only keep those older or lower powered hardware running for another 7
years. I consider 15 to 20 years at least a reasonable life for a
computer before it either breaks down or becomes so obsolete in that it
is no longer no capable of ordinary tasks with then current
applications.
Being out in the real world and still finding people running Win98, I
can guarantee WinXP will probably be around a lot longer than that.
With Vista's hardware requirements being so high, all these lower end
computers that will still be around need to run something. It seems
Microsoft has learned just how long people will use older technology
that still works(as well as any M$ software works) - which makes
abandoning these customers so sickening.
The differences between what's covered by mainstream and extended
support are detailed below. Basically, you have to pay for real support
during the extended support period.
And here is a detailed comparison:

- Windows XP Support >> Screensaver turns off after 60 secondsI have just completed a clean install of XP and it is now fully updated with
SP2 etc.
The only problem I have is that the screensaver (any XP screensaver)
activates after the allotted time but then reverts to the desktop after
60seconds.
What could be causing this? It's driving me mad.

- Windows XP >> System has Internet, but can't browse Lan...?Howdy,
We have six systems behind a router.
All can browse Internet, and all but one can browse the Lan
reading, and writing, to one another.
One system (an XP box - all others are Win 2000 Pro) can
browse Internet, but cannot browse our Lan.
When, from that machine, I attempt to explore the workgroup,
nothing shows up. When I attempt to ping other systems, (say
one called "Joe" I get the error: "Could not find host Joe."
If I attempt to ping the offending system from another on
the Lan, I get "Unknown host Sue."
I should also add that when I go into that system's Control
Panel | Windows Firewall it shows that the Firewall is OFF.
But, it I go into Control Panel | Security Center, it shows
Firewall ON and explains that Norton Internet Worm
Protection is activated. (I have no idea what that Norton
product is, and cannot find it on the system in any case.)
And finally, all this is new. That is, this one system had
been able to browse the Lan properly. I just discovered the
problem because we had it set to backup to another system on
the Lan, but new it is generating backup errors because it
can no longer see that other system.
I would welcome any assistance on this hassle...
Sincere thanks,

- Windows XP Security >> help needed to repair installation / recover dataHi everyone
I'm changing my computer and was in the process of moving all my data from
the old to the new view a firewire network. I couldn't get this to work
today so ended up unplugging my old hard drive and plugging in into my new
computer so i could copy the files across.
I was an idiot, because when i did that i found that the files were in a
user account so i could not access them from my new windows XP. (My old
computer is also XP with the files stored as NTFS)
So i plugged the hard drive back into my old computer so that i could move
them to a guest account - but this time when i booted up the old computer
windows won't load! The hard drive must have been changed somehow when i
plugged it into the new computer...
More specifically,windows boots up, but i don't get any accounts to log into
at the end of the boot up sequence, just the pale blue screen with a windows
logo.
How do i save my data?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Undoing device association w/specific program?I did a bonehead thing when I was troubleshooting a problem recently, w/my
new Canon SD550 camera connecting to the Canon software in Windows. When I
first connected the camera, I got the usual dialog box of all the various
programs on my machine that could connect to the camera and download pictures
(Adobe Photoshop Elements, ACDSee, the Canon CameraWindow, etc.).
The bonehead part comes in when I checked the "Always perform this action"
w/the "Canon CameraWindow" selected. Now when I connect the camera, the Canon
CameraWindow always starts, never giving me a choice of which program I
actually want to use. D'oh! Yes, I know it's doing exactly what it's supposed
to do. Problem is, I want the dialog box of choices back, and I don't know
how to get it.
W/a simple file association, I know you can go into My Computer>Tools>Folder
Options>File Types tab, and scroll down until you find the file type you want
to change the association to. Trouble is, the camera is of course a hardware
device, and I have no idea where to look for the magic place to undo what I
did. It is *not* in the File Types list.
I've hunted thru the Registry, scoured the KB, and have simply run out of
ideas. Can anyone tell me how to undo a device association to a particular
program?

- Windows XP Support >> recover from corrupted registryHi,
I did try to recover from corrupted registry but didn't find system registry
in the
"c:\windows\repair\system" and now I can't log in neither on windows or in
the recovery console anymore. Because I have to type a password that I don't
have because I didn't assign any password to the administator account.
Does windows has a standard password for the administrator account?
Thanks in advance,
Eduardo.
