- Windows XP >> Endless loopafter mobo changeI had XP on a machine for months with no prob... I
upgraded the mobo and processor from 450 mhz to 1.2 ghz,
but cannot get XP to boot now. It is in an "endless loop"
where it flashes an error for a splitsecond saying that a
problem has occurred and windows will be shut down...
If I put old mobo back, all is ok. Have also gotten third
replacement mobo with exact same problem.
How do I get XP back up with upgraded mobo?

- Windows XP Security >> Administrator Account locked out.I dont have a network administrator.
I am in a stand-alone in a workgroup of computers that share a HSIC on a

I'm identified by my computer name and description.
I have 2 user accounts on my ( XP-SP2 ) PC, Administrator/Owner and

whatsoever ).
I somehow f*%k@! up changing the password on my administrator account and

- Windows XP Setup >> Downloading updates from NetI'm new to this email list and have just bought a new
computer with XP.
When I try to update using Windows Update and going to the
Net, all works well until I come to the license
agreement. At this point, I read the agreement, as much
as any of us does! <VBG>, and it asks me if I agree, but
there is no place to answer...no place to click, nothing.
I just close the window and it tells me I can't install as
I didn't agree to the license info.
There is nothing cruically required of me to update, but I
wanted to add something for the MVP 9.
Is there something I'm missing here? (BTW, I didn't set
up the computer and have very, very little knowledge of
how it all works, so please be very percise, if you can)
Thanks so much for any help...

- Windows XP Hardware >> COMM port not shutting downWin XP Home SP 1 Dell inspiron I5100 2.66G 512 M BCM V.92 56K Modem
Thank you for taking a moment to help me ... I think this question should be
an easy one .. :)
While online, dial-up, the modem or connection goes offline. Then in an
attempt to re-connect, I get the error that the port is in use .. this never
goes away, regardless of how many times I try or periods of 'wait' I provide.
Windows Troubleshooter wanted me to check the settings for PORTS under
Device Manager, but I do not have such a setting there.
How do I reset that port without having to restart the machine, or can I?
If I cannot, what are the likley causes of this so I can try to fix and or
prevent it?
Thank you.

- Windows XP >> XP reference book recommendationsI am looking for a reference book for windows XP. I am reasonably
knowledgeable on windows but the security aspect of XP has me a little
buffaloed. I would like a book that will explain what each setting does and
how security works. Essentially, however I am using XP Pro at home, and what
I want to do is set things up so everyone can use the computer but they have
to go through me (administrator) to install software. Open to all
suggestions. I am in Canada if that makes a difference.
Please not this is cross-posted for maximum coverage.

Windows XP Hardware >> my PC is slower
A few days ago, I added a and old slow disk drive to my XP PC, for backups.
Since then I noticed that my PC is slower, and I can hear that old drive
crunching. Is it my imagination? Is XP now using this drive for things?
Thanks.

That old drive could be dropping you down to a lower DMA mode or worse PIO
mode.
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817472/en-us
Part of this article covers a method for checking the current mode:
Start/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/System Tools/Device Manager
Check the IDE primary channel properties. It should be Ultra DMA 5 or 6 and
NOT PIO mode.

Is the XP Indexing service running, if it is this also could be a problem?

The old standby of cleaning the disk of redundant files (Cleanup!
www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/ is better than the Windows offering)
and a defrag will bring it up to the best possible (albeit slow) speed.

- Windows XP Setup >> Clean install of XP - 1. XP setup program hangs 2. XP fails to boHi,
Apologies for the long post but this needs the detail.....
CPU: Athlon XP 1.8Ghz
RAM: 512MB
Old mobo: Leadtek K7N415-DA
New mobo: gigabyte 7VM400AM-RZ
Hi,
I've got a problem that's driving me insane! I'm a fairly experienced PC
builder with a logical and methodical approach to problem solving.....
I'm trying to install a fresh copy of XP pro from bootable CD onto a new HD.
The system I'm rebuilding has been stable for the last year with XP pro
(sp2).
I remove the current HD's (maxtor 160GB IDE and IBM 80GB IDE) and plug in
the new HD (seagate 160GB IDE ATA100). This is set to Primary Master. The
only other IDE device is a Lite-on CDR set to Secondary Master.
I boot the machine, check the BIOS. The new HD is recognised correctly. I
then exit BIOS setup and boot from the bootable XP install CD. XP starts
loading its basic drivers required for the install. It gets to the end of
this process, I get the message "Starting Windows"... the machine hangs at
this point. This means I'm not even getting to the point where you can
partition the drive and start to install windows.
I've performed full Seagate diagnostic on this HD via their seatools
program. It passes.
I've tried the following (one at a time) to try and eliminate the problem:
-Flashed the BIOS
-Reset the BIOS
-Tried all different BIOS settings for the HD
-Used a different XP install CD
-Used a different CD ROM drive
-Used new IDE cables
-Used different RAM
-Unplugged all other cards/devices
-Tried HD as Primary Slave, secondary slave etc.
-Used XP boot floppies
-REPLACED MOBO(!).. with new gigabyte mobo
I have now either replaced or swapped every component except the CPU, the
case and the power supply!
I'm still getting the same problem!
The strangest thing is if I plug my OLD HD's back into this PC then then
machine works perfectly as it always did!
At this point I had an idea.....
I have a second PC (also Athlon XP) running XP pro SP2, currently working
perfectly.
I think: "I'll try installing XP on the new HD via this PC"
I unplugged it's HD's and plug in the new seagate drive (Primary Master). I
use the same XP install CD... boot the machine from CD... Windows installer
starts PERFECTLY on this PC (no hanging). I partition the new HD (NTFS, full
format, 25GB). I leave the rest unpartitioned. I'll fix that up later.
Windows performs a full install perfectly on the HD. I can use XP; the
machine boots from this HD etc etc. All is good. I don't install any
additional apps or drivers. That can wait.
I remove the seagate HD (with the newly installed XP) from the second PC and
place it back in the first PC (set to Primary Master)....
I switch on the machine, perfect POST, BIOS is all good. Windows XP starts
to boot.......then the machine reboots!!!!!
I get the windows XP message: "your machine did not start properly etc......
start normally, use 'safe mode' etc." I select 'Safe mode'.
Windows XP starts to load it's drivers. The last driver it loads is
"mup.sys". It then reboots. This happens everytime the machine attempts to
boot.
Personally I don't think that 'mup.sys' is to blame. I'm no expert but I'd
say the machine is rebooting when it tries to perform the next step after
'mup.sys', whatever that might be?
I've been given the advice to disable 'mup.sys' via the Recovery
Console....but I can't get to the recovery console because my machine hangs
when I boot from the XP install CD!!
To summerise/reiterate:
-My XP install CD works perfectly in my second PC
-My new install of XP on the new HD works perfectly in my second PC
-My XP install CD hangs on install in my first PC
-New install of XP on the new HD fails to boot when used in first PC
-Every component in first PC has been replaced except CPU, CASE, PSU
-Installing old HD's in first PC leads to a perfectly bootable and useable
system
What is driving me mad is that I've tried EVERYTHING except swapping the
CPU. If the CPU was to blame how can it work perfectly with the old HD's
plugged in?!?!?
If anybody can figure out what is going on here then you are brilliant!
After 25+hrs working on it I'm out of ideas! I'm about ready to throw the
lot in the trash and buy a Dell. :)
Thanks,
R.

- Windows XP Support >> Error Code 105I'm not sure what happened, but I had to reinstall MOHAA on my new custom
system, and couldn't get it to install ( had imported it from my old
computer--that was not good!). I did a delete from the control panel, but
that didn't work, either. I went to the EA (game manufacturer) website to
see if there was something I did wrong. I had to do a manual delete from the
registry. Now when I try it, I get nothing. The Install Wizard starts up,
but then nothing happens. Once I got a "catastrophic failure" message. I
tried loading other games from different developers and got "Setup is unable
to run a program needed to proceed with the installation. Restart your
system and try again. Error 105" I have no idea as what to do. I tried
restoring to a previous state, but that didn't work. I thought it might be
the DVD/CD drive, but it reads other cds with Emails, pictures, etc. I don't
think it is gaming related, rather something I may have done during the
removal of the MOHAA series that messed up the registry or removed a program
from XP associated with the Install Wizard.
