- Windows XP Hardware >> CD and CD-RW suddenly can't read discs.Both my optical drives have stopped reading CDs. In My Computer the CD-RW
drive is blank and the CD drive gives a message saying,"Windows cannot read
from this disc ..." Both drives recognize a CD (music, data) if it is in the
drive when the computer boots. However, if you open and close the drive it
can no longer see the disc. With a music CD I can get it to play using
Windows Media Player even though My Computer shows nothing there. Device
Manager shows everything is fine. I have tried disabling AVG Antivirus. These
drives have worked for over 2 years until now.

- Windows XP >> IE History not workingAnybody know why IE History would not work? The View By Most Visited
contains pages, but the other three views (By Date, By Site, By Order
Visited Today) are all empty. The word "Today" does not even show up under
By Date. I have set IE to keep 15 days of history, so there should be
something there. Any ideas? (Message also posted on IE newsgroup)

- Windows XP Network >> Connecting two wireless networks?I'm pretty new to networking, and want to keep my question
simple. I have Verizon wireless, with XP-home computer and
Router upstairs, and XP-home computer and laser printer
downstairs. Wireless internet connections work fine.
Trying to connect printer to downstairs computer wirelessly.
Have connected printer and downstairs computer using Netgear
WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter ($29.99 at Frys), and printer
works fine. Now, the question. Is there any way to have
both my Verizon wireless network and the Netgear wireless
network (computer to printer only) to work together (e.g.,
connect one to the other)?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Network >> Failed Installation Win32 MessageI am running Windows XP SP2. I've downloaded Java & the JRE Runtime
Environment - but when I go to install, I am blocked with a box that tells me
"this is not a valid Win 32 application. Contact the vendor or ... " Online
Games won't work without Java applets so I don't know what to try next. I've
gone to Internet Tools, Advanced, and under my HTTP 1.1 heading, there is no
Java mentioned, no MSJVM, no JIT compiler to "uncheck." If you know what to
do, please tell me. How do I get rid of this WIN 32 message that blocks all

- Windows XP Network >> Multiple Machines & ProfilesAfter switching everyone from an Nt4 server to 2003 server and using the
domain migration tool, 2 out of the 17 computers in our office (all running
XP pro) have developed a problem with user profiles.
If a user logs out, then tries to log back in they get an error message
about the profile being missing, and having to use a temporary profile. If
the user reboots there isn't a problem.
The events from the event log are below. Does anyone know what the problem
may be? I've tried using msconfig to limit what starts up, but that doesn't
work.
---------------------
Event ID: 1508
Windows was unable to load the registry. This is often caused by
insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.
DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process. for C:\Documents and Settings\rcl\ntuser.dat
---------------------
Event ID: 1502
Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process.
---------------------
Event ID: 1515
Windows has backed up this user's profile. Windows will automatically try to
use the backed up profile the next time this user logs on.
---------------------
Event ID: 1511
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary
profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.

Windows XP Security >> Update
I downloaded windows security patch and the window that
displays the download progress bar is done but the
install progress bar is doing nothing. It took a long
time to download and I don't want to do it again if I

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Help? Files and Settings transfer wizard questionHello All,
On a regular basis, I use the File & Settings transfer wizard to back up my
settings to a "slave back up drive" in my desktop computer.
Well, my primary drive crashed last week, and now I've replaced it with a
new one, and reloaded XP, along with all my old programs, and all my saved
files that I regularly back up to my slave drive. So now I want to also go
to my slave drive and migrate my old settings that I've saved, onto the new
drive, just like everything else I had backed up and successfully migrated
onto the new hard drive.
So I go to the folder where the settings are stored on the slave drive to
make sure they are there, I can see two files, one named IMG00001.DAT (it's
1.3GB in size), and also a file named "status" it's only 1KB in size.
Now, I open the File and Settings transfer wizard, follow the commands,
then, I get to a question where the wizard asks me something like "where do I
want to retrieve my settings from", so I point the wizard to the folder where
I've saved them at on my slave drive.......
Then, after I hit next, I constantly get an error box that tells me the
following:
"The location that you specified does not contain stored information. Please
type a valid folder path into the edit box.....If you entered a path to a
folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive."
And I can't get past that error message.....I've tried copying the settings
I've saved from my slave drive, onto my new primary drive, and then tried
pointing the wizard to that location thinking that maybe the saved settings
had to be on the primary drive for the wizard to retrieve them, but that
didn't work either.
So I'm stuck, How do I get my old settings migrated onto my new hard drive?
Any help is appreciated, and thanks much in advance.

"My Documents" instead of just being words on the screen is now in a

- Windows XP Network >> My website through "My Network Places", not working correctlyI have a domain and hosted site through godaddy. I have a link to my website
under my network places. The link is to my root directory. Used to, if I
browsed to a folder and clicked on a jpg file, IE would open up and display
the jpg. In the address of IE would be the full path to the file. I could
copy this and paste it into forums. Now, when i click a jpg on my website
through my network places, I get windows fax and pic viewer and it says can't
display preview. I can't remember changing anything.
When I click on a jpg in a regular windows folder, the file opens up with
windows fax in pic viewer and shows the picture. If I go to file properties
and tell jpg's to open with Adope Photoshop, if I click on something on my
computer, photoshop opens and the file shows. But, If I browse to my website
through my network places, and click a jpg, photoshop will open but no file
will display?
What could have changed??
Thanks

- Windows XP Update >> MS: Please Fix svchost.exe problemThis bug has me and apparently many others fighting this problem all the
time instead of getting any work done. It's seems that it is related to
Windows Update.
I have noted the conspicuous absence of replys from anyone at Microsoft when
this problem gets posted - and it gets posted plenty everywhere.
Time to fess up! Stand up, take responsibility, and fix the problem. (or
maybe I'll buy a Mac next time)

- Windows XP Setup >> System ShutdownBuilt a system for a friend recently. Installed XP Home
and service packs 1 and 2.
Installs all went perfectly with no problems. However
since install the system shuts down after a couple of
minutes for no apparent reason. It totally locks up,
doesn't allow reset or anything and has to have the power
supply shut off at the wall. Once plugged back in it
restarts with out problems and then runs without any
problem till the next time it is switched on.
The system configuration is as follows:
Asrock K7S8XE Mainboard
AMD Athlon XP+ 3200 (200 FSB)
512MB PC3200 DDR 400
120Mb 8Mb Cache 7200 HDD
Nvidia AGP graphics card
Creative Audigy
Realtek 10/100 network card
All the drivers have been updated to the most recent
versions. I am at a loss as to where to go from here with
this problem and would appreciate any suggestions.
Many Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> sleep awake does not show icons, only backgroundThis is WinXP pro, with all updates applied. When the system display has
gone to sleep and a key is pressed, the background appears but no icons. The
only keys that work are ctl/alt/del. It then shows the icons and the task
manager window. After canceling the task manager window the system seems to
work properly. The system is protected by PCCilian and router firewall.
When I tried to do a repair install using the XP CD, it said the system was
a later version than the CD and did not want to run.
I hope someone has some idea how to eliminate the problem.

- Windows XP Support >> Notification Tray Icons - Display too shortMy father has a new Dell 6400. In the notification tray, he has many
icons. When he hovers his mouse over he icon, it displays what the
icon is. However, the "tip" goes away REALLY fast. I need to
increase this time.
Tried the following:
1) Many articles on how to increase or remove balloon tips. This
doesnt appear to be the same.
2) Updated video card driver.
3) TweakUI (Didnt see anything obvious)

- Windows XP Support >> Network XP file server set-up difficultiesI'm trying to complete the replacement of an old Linux server for my church
with a new XP file server because we need more storage space and the vendor
for our data management software does not support Linux. Every time they
send a software upgrade, we have problems that they have trouble helping us
resolve because of the way Linux and windows products differ in management
of permissions. Part of the transfer is done and working well, other parts
I'm having trouble getting to allow mapping to two resources simultaneously.
1. Each user needs to be mapped to the data folder for the data management
software [done and running smoothly]
2. Each user needs access to a shared folder for a few documents that we
all need to see and/or modify (password protection desirable, but not
absolutely necessary) [conflicts with step 3 below]
3. Each user also needs access to a folder on the server that only they
have access to (with password protection) [conflicts with step 2 above]
I had steps 1 and 2 done, but when I tried to accomplish step 3, I ran into
conflicts and got messages like: "The network folder is currently mapped
using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user
name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network
share." and/or "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the
same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all
previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again."
When I disconnected and tried again, I lost step 2 on the workstation that I
was using. That's what got me here to ask the wisdom of those who know what
they're doing.
Here's what the file structure I'm trying to work with on the server looks
like (actual file names are different, but this is where they are):
C:\membership data folder
C:\shared documents
C:\users\user1
C:\users\user2
C:\users\user3
C:\users\user4
C:\users\user5
C:\users\user6
I have administrator rights on the server, so I can make any changes in
permissions there. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.
