- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> monitor startup apps?Is there anyway to actually monitor startup applications in windows xp pro
or with a 3rd party application? I know I can kill one thing at a time in
the registry or via msconfig and keep restarting, but I would like to know
if there is something that specifically shows "x application started at x
time and completed loading at x time [and took x time to load]".
The reason being, I have a new IBM T43 notebook that I am testing for our
company (we're thinking of switching from Dell D600's to these) and this
system logs in, shows the hard drive active protection icon in the system
tray as loaded then takes a solid minute before anything else happens and
once it does it loads almost all of the system tray icons at the exact same
time, then the remainder at the same time about 30 seconds later. It
basically starts up fast, then once logged in takes a hell of a long time
before I can actually do anything on the system.
Any and all recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Network >> Standby & wake on lan -problemHello,
I'm running a web server on my Win XP SP1 machine. To enable waking of the
computer from standby by requesting a web page on the web server, I've set
NIC Power Management option to "Allow this device to bring the computer out
of standby."
This works fine, only now my problem is that the computer resumes from
standby by itself in every few minutes even when there is no network traffic
between the computer and internet.
If I unplug the computer's network cable from the external adsl modem, the
computer won't resume from standby by itself, but obviously neither can the
computer be connected from internet.
Or if I change NIC Power Management options to "Only allow management
stations to bring the computer out of standy.", the computer won't resume
from standby by itself, but needs a magic packet to wake up. However the
magic packet -scenario is not implementable in my case.
Could it be that the network traffic between the computer and the external
adsl modem is causing the computer to wake up? If so, how can that be
avoided other than using the ways described above? Or is there some other
source that is triggering the NIC to wake up the computer?

- Windows XP >> Very very annoying taskbar in Windows XP....Hi,
I have a really VERY VERY annoying problem with Windows XP:
In the properties of the taskbar I have set the the "Auto-hide the
taskbar"
and "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows".
I set these properties so that the taskbar pop-ups when I move the
mouse pointer to an edge of the monitor.
A REMARK:
---------
I like to work with the keyboard only, because I'm much quicker with
it and I use the mouse as less as possible.
The Problem:
------------
At the beginning I had a lot of very annoying "baloon" Windows XP
messages and the taskbar ALWAYS pops-up, so the browser or application
application I used
lost the focus and I had to click with the mouse the browser or the
application window to gain the focus again; so I was able to work
again with the keyboard only.
So I found in internet a couple of hints: I added to my registry the
following keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"FolderContentsInfoTip"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips]
"Show"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSMBalloonTip"=dword:00000000
So, I didn't get any "baloon" message anymore. These keys "kills" the
Windows XP "baloon" messages from the taskbar.
HOWEVER:
it happens very often that the taskbar pops-up without any message. It
doesn't
display any "baloon" message, but it's still very annoying, because I
loose
the focus of the browser or application..... you read it already
before.
NOW THE QUESTION (PLEASE HELP ME WITH SOME IDEAS ^_^ ):
*********************************************************
What can I do to suppress the annoying pop-up of the taskbar?
I don't want neither to "Lock the taskbar" nor to "Keep the taskbar
UNDER
other windows".
If I need the taskbar, I simply want to move the mouse on an edge of
the monitor so that it pops-up. I don't want that the taskbar pop-up
automatically.
So, if you didn't die after this long monologue (LOL LOL) I would
appreciate some hints.
Thank you very much

- Windows XP Hardware >> Need to partition preloaded hard driveJust bought new computer with preloaded software. I want to partition drive and reinstall software using Recovery CD since that's all I have to work with. XP would only allow me to create 1 partition and limited it's size to 7 Gb. Is there any way I can partition into multiple drives the sizes I want, with or without reformatting and if I do reformat can I use the recovery CD to reload the software onto a smaller C: drive? Any suggestions to accomplish this would be appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Product Activation Error MessageHello newsgroup members,
After installing a new program (Napster 2.0) on my
computer, I get this error message upon reboot:
"A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking
the license for this computer" (error 0X 8009006).
The Microsoft Knowledge Base addresses this error # by
saying it is caused by a hardware change and need to
reinstall Windows but I have had no hardware change.
Is there a way I can fix this without reinstalling Windows
XP? Can the XP recovery disk help? It will not boot up in
safe mode either.
Your help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

problems with the pictures (most were either .jpg or .bmp files) but I am
not able to access the e-mail files (.dbx) so that they can be loaded into
OE. They are currently located in C:\Documents and Settings\Marty\Local

with all of the other OE files, including the newsgroups I am subscribed to
but I cannot get them to import into my OE folders. Any and all advice will
