- Windows XP Support >> print spooler problemI'm trying to rehabilitate a computer running on XP Pro and can't get the
print spool service to run. I've tried several suggestions from other's
problems but to no avail. I even reinstalled Windows from the CD, but when
it tried to copy the spoolsv.exe file it failed - I finished the
reinstallation anyway.
Now the computer is up and running but I still can't fix the spooler
problem. I tried to start the spooler using the services.msc window, but
when I click the start button I get
" Error 23: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)"
What else can I try?

- Windows XP Security >> Fast-User Switching - No CD-Rom acces for 2nd userHi,
I have no admin Windows XP Pro (SP2) setup, meaning everyone logs in as
normal user.
The Problem is that when I use fast-user switching the second logged in
user can't access the CD-Rom drive, as long as the first user is also
logged in.
Is that normal or what did I do wrong in my setup?
Please help me!
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Add/Remove ProgramsI have Windows XP Home Edition/Version 2002/Service Pak 2. When open up the
Control Panel and try to open the "Add and Remove Programs", nothing happens.
When I click it, the Control Panel window goes "gray", but nothing happens,
not even the "click" I hear whenever I open any other toll in the Control
Panel (all others work).
I ran the "SFC /SCANNOW" and it did not help.
Any ideas anyone, please...
thanks.

- Windows XP Update >> Windows XP Home Update Won't!I have Win XP Home Edition. Service Pack 2 is installed. Windows Live
OneCare is installed. I have reloaded the OS several times in the last week
and only when I did the updates BEFORE I added Windows Live OneCare did the
Win XP Update function work as advertised. I get the error report routine
and the Internet Explorer 7.0+ says it has to shutdown due to a serious
error. What is really maddening is the fact that I can't get access to the
report so that I can, maybe, find out exactly what is wrong. How will I be
able to tell if the updates are in fact being done. I also have MS Office XP
which update very nicely from the Office Update website. Can anyone help
with this?

- Windows XP Network >> Takes 5 minutes to browse to a network ShareThis problem has been driving me crazy. Here is the
system setup and the symptoms.
- 5 brand new identical computers running Windows XP
Professional in a peer-to-peer configuration (Workgroup)
- 4 of the computers connect to each other and all shared
resources with no problems. Fast browsing, drive mapping
etc.
- The 5th computer takes 5 minutes to connect to any
other computer on the network for sharing files. It
connects to the Internet through a Linksys cable/DSL
router and cablemodem flawlessly. The other four
computers connect to the "problem" computer just fine.
Symptoms and efforts made so far:
1. Browsing eventually works, as long as I let the
computer keep hunting for 5 minutes or so. Oncce a
connection is made, things seem to operate as normal
until someone logs off, and then I have to go through the
5 minute wait again.
1a. if I try to interrupt the "browsing", I get a (not
responding) error, and pretty much have to reboot.
2. Running in SAFE MODE with Network Support works just
fine... fast browsing, etc.
3. Since all 5 computers are identical, I moved a
functioning Hard Disk from one of the other 4 computers
into the "defective" one, and it worked just fine!
4. I tried moving the Hard Disk from the "defective"
computer into one of the other working computers, and the
problem followed the drive (in other words the problem
moved with the hard disk"
- this tells me, that it is not the wiring, the hub,
the router, the NIC or even the computer that is the
problem. Possibly the hard drive, but there are no other
problems with using the drive. As a standalone unit, it
operated flawlessly.
5. I have reformatted the Hard Disk and reinstalled XP
Pro from scratch 4 times. I replaced the motherboard, the
NIC, checked the cabling. I have installed all available
updates.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can either
respond on this usergroup, or email me directly. TIA

40megs of files were uploaded?
Since them about another 20megs have uploaded.

- Windows XP >> Fix for XP crashes valid? (Works in Safe Mode)My pc is crashing in normal mode. It works fine in SAFE mode all day
long. Can't find a stop code using the event logger that tells me
anything useful, using msconfig to limit what apps start hasn't helped.
My theory is that if I remove every program one by one that this will
tell me which app is causing the crash problem. Is this a valid logic
OR is it possible that it's not an installed program causing the
crashes and it's really something inherent to XP that's causing the
crash? (Even though SAFE mode works fine.)
In my (not expert) mind if SAFE mode works then the problem may not be
with XP itself but in one of the programs. Is my theory valid?
I'm mostly concerned because I don't know what caused this problem so
it could well just happen again! (After I possibly reinstall
everything.) Errr..!
Thanks,
Chet

- Windows XP Setup >> Welcome screenIs it possible to disable the welcome screen in XP?
For some reason, when I installed Office 2003, the welcome screen started
appearing when I turn on my computer.
I am the only person that uses this computer so it gets kind of annoying.

- customize >> Moving files/folders in list viewDoes anyone know how to move files/folders in a folder
when the view option is on "list" because when I try to
move a file say to the bottom of the list a little black
circle with a line across it comes up, right next to the
mouse pointer which means I cannot move it.
When I right click within the foler and go to "arrange
icons" auto arrange is unticket and is in white which
means it cannot be choosen, even when I coose a different
view and tick auto arrange and then go back to "list"
view it is ticket but I am still unable to move files to
a differnet position within the folder.
Anyone got any ideas?

- Windows XP >> Connection Conflicts.For several months now my messengers MSN & Yahoo, as well as Netscape and
Mozilla Firefox, have been unable to detect my connection to the internet. I
connect mostly by DSL through my Network port but also via Wireless when I am
out and about. No matter how I connect, I still can't get them to work now.
Up until around August or around there my Yahoo Messenger worked fine but
stopped when I tried to upgrade to the next messenger. And when I tried to
revert back to the older version, it still would not connect. Ever since
Explorer 7 came out it has been trying to update to it but 7 won't work
either, only version 6 and I hesitate to upgrade anything anymore.
A couple of days ago I got a bunch of updates and when they installed my
Yahoo Web Messenger stopped working. I can receive messages but mine won't go
out to the recipient.
I am frustrated to the point of deleting all the updates ever installed on
this computer. I have a Gateway laptop with an Intel Centrino Processor and
512 MG RAM, and an 80 Gig hdd.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Can't Uninstall Virus ProgramI am trying to install a new antivirus/firewall program. I uninstalled all
of the elements of my old virus/fw program. When my new program stated that
it would not install until the old one was removed, I discovered there is
still .50KB of the old program left, somehow. I proceed with uninstalling
and it goes through the process... and then remains there even after
restarting the computer.
Please help me, anyone...
Thanks.

Windows XP >> Update Downloading
One of my terminals at work requires an update. The OS
is of the WinXP "Home Edition." When I access the
following website address:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
After a minute or two, the message "New Windows Update
Software Required." I then try to update the software by
clicking the "Update Now" button. After a few seconds,
the same reappears as if nothing was downloaded or
installed.
Is anyone else having this same problem? Any information
would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> CPU sounds after power failureAfter a recent power failure my CPU now makes quiet noises when loading
pages, scrolling with the mouse, or during any motion in game play. It has
never done this before and I am at a loss as to how to correct it.
Any ideas on how to correct this annoying noise problem?
Also, any idea why this would occur after losing power, or how I can avoid
it in the future?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> Blank screen on remote laptop after disconnecting from remote deskI have a HP Compaq nc6400 laptop running Windows XP Professional Service Pack
2. I connect to this laptop (which remains docked with lid closed) from
another computer using Windows Remote Desktop. After I disconnect the remote
desktop from the other computer, if I come back to this laptop and open the
lid, the display stays off and never comes on. The laptop also will not
respond to mouse and keyboard input locally. However, this issue does not
happen if I left the laptop with the lid open, before I connect to it from
the other computer (through Remote Desktop, of course).
The laptop is still running - I can connect to it by remote desktop again
from another computer to resume the remote desktop session. But the display
remains blank and keyboard and mouse are unresponsive locally, unless I
reboot the laptop or hibernate and resume it.
I contacted HP Chat support and did a firmware upgrade, and display driver
and Windows update but to no avail. They think this is a Windows issue and
they can't resolve it.
Several people seem to have this issue on computers from several different
hardware manufacturers, and has been noticed for more than a year now. This
seems to be related to the issue described in the following links, and seems
like an ACPI or Power Management issue with the Remote Desktop Server. Please
help.

- Windows XP Security >> Automatic update is being controlled by the network administratorI have been trying to turn on Automatic Update (pre SP2) but the options are
grayed out on the config screen. I ran a security check from the Microsoft
site and it said that my Automatic Update is being controlled by the network
adfministrator. That's interesting seeing as how I'm on a standalone machine
at home.
I had a nasty virus a while back and I had to remove it manually with some
registry edits. I may have screwed AU up at that time.
Now I need to know how to change Auto Upd back to local machine control.
Thanks in advance for any help

- Windows XP Security >> MBSA complains about SQL Server Authentication Mode / Can't Fix BCHi,
I'm a little baffled; perhaps someone here can help. MBSA 2.0 complains as
below.
The problem is the only contents of the SQL Server 2005 folder in Programs
is Configuration Tools. I've tried re-installing SQL Server Express to see
if it would install the proper tools to make the changes as described in the
help but no joy. The problem is with the instance installed by Business
Contact Manager.
This system is Win XP SP2; Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager (and
the latest updates); Visual Studio Express Edition 2005 with Visual Web
Developer
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Issue:
Service Accounts:
Result:
SQL Server and/or MSDE authentication mode is set to SQL Server and/or MSDE
and Windows (Mixed Mode).
How to correct this:
SQL Server Authentication ModeIssue
In Mixed Mode, user name and password information is stored in Microsoft®
SQL Serverâ?¢. Mixed Mode is only intended for use in networks in which the
servers, clients, and network infrastructure are physically protected, and
all users are trusted. It is included in SQL Server 7.0 to provide backward
compatibility with previous releases and to allow interoperability with
products that do not support Windows NT® authentication.
In contrast, Windows NT Authentication Mode uses the typical Windows NT
authentication mechanism, which was built for use in environments where
security is important. All authentication information is housed on the domain
controller rather than SQL Server, and it is protected because the
information is encrypted.
Solution
Change SQL Server on your system that uses Mixed Mode to Windows
Authentication Mode, if possible.
Instructions
To change SQL Server from Mixed Mode to Windows Authentication Mode
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then
click Enterprise Manager.
Double-click Microsoft SQL Servers and SQL Server Group, right-click the
server that you want to secure, and then click Properties.
In the SQL Server Properties dialog box, click the Security tab.
Under Authentication, click Windows only.

- Windows XP Support >> USB Combo Card reader pauses XP startupHi, I'm having a strange problem. Just bought a "USB 2.0 Combo 23 in 1
card reader/3 port USB hub". All works fine when it is plugged into
the USB port on the computer while the computer is on. If I leave it
plugged in and turn the computer off, and then turn the computer back
on at any time, the combo thing pauses the computer startup at the bios
screen. As soon as I unplug the combo it resumes startup and loads
windows. Any ideas?? as I don't want to have to unplug the combo each
time I start up the computer.
Thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> installing xp (out of range)For a long time i ran a diffrent os than recently I decided to install xp on
my machine , because the campus I attend here requires xp.
So I recently went out and bought a windows xp full installation disc. (lost
information for last disc I had)
Using the windows xp disc (oem edition) I format my hd and allow xp to
create a new partition .. the issue comes after the first reboot it will
start to install, and during the process of "installing devices" the setup
will stop with a error message of "out of range" or "frequency out of range"
depending on monitor used. approximitly with 34 minutes left every time.
I found the self help on microsoft webpage stating forcing standard hal ,
which had no sucess (f5 or f7)
The video card is a geforce4, I know windows xp will run on the system
because long ago I had windows xp installed on this system.
Any suggestions or help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP >> Maintaining a standard OS imageHi All,
I'm sure I read somewhere recently that someone was using the windows
toolkit to maintain a standard OS image.
What I mean is:
A student logs onto a pc, they install some software or change the OS in
some way.
To reset the pc back to it's standard image, all that is needed to be done
is a reboot & any software or changes that the student had made to that OS
are lost!
TIA
