- Windows XP Network >> Network and Driver issuesMy parents own a small business using a LAN to control
POS. After a recent thunderstorm, all computers
restarted as the power flickered. Upon restarting, the
office computer showed a message asking if we wanted to
install an ethernet controller. This is where she called
me.
After examining the computer, and going to Device
Manager, I find a exclamation under Other
Devices/Ethernet Controller. I am unable to install any
drivers to this device. I also noticed that there is a
WAN network driver already installed. I'm not sure, but
I don't think we need the new driver that the computer
wants to install. I have tried uninstalling this device
and have tried to disable it, but still this computer can
not see or be seen on the network. I have tried using
system restore but after restoring to yesterday, the
computer still restarts asking to install this device. I
hope my problem is presented clearly, please help. Thanks

- customize >> All programs menu items???I tried to get an answer to this over at the "help & support" group but no
answer. Maybe someone can shed some light on this. I'm stumped.
Windows XP as Administrator
I right clicked on "Start" and "open". I then double-click on "programs" and
find that many (over 50%) of the icons are missing. I went to the same file
for all users and find that there are more icons but, still, not all.
What I want to do is setup All Programs more efficiently and this is the way
I've always done it. Is there any way to get the programs to show?
Thanks, Dan

- Windows XP Network >> "All Programs" Button On Start Menu Not Coming UpReally brief I have already searched the boards tried running "regsvr32 /i
shell32.dll" and I am extremely reluctant to edit my resgistry as I do not
think is the issue you anyway.
I have a laptop running Win Xp Pro. I log onto a domain at work which
automates runnning a script to update links that are only relevant to the
network. (It is our custom accounting software). Basically the programmer is
sparatically updating and this script allows for us to be sure all the
clients are running on the most current build. Anyway, on all my other
clients (about 20 machines) when the network is disconnected at logon the
script simply does not run but the All Programs button is still functional.
The links for the accounting software are dead as the target points to a
network link but the Programs button still work.
Now, the problem is when my computer is disconnected from the network (like
at home) i log in under the domain anyway because all of my files and
programs are here. Unfortunately now when I click on "Start" and then "All
Programs" the computer just hangs for about ten seconds and nothing happens.
A few other tidbits before i throw this out to all you experts.
If i hibernate the system (which i often do) before i leave work and then
start it bak up at home there is no issue. Obviously this is because I am not
logging in the unit is just bring me back to where i was. This only occurs
when i shut down and restart off network. I assumed in the past that my
computer is trying to run the script and it is not finding what it needs
therefore jsut locks out hte All Programs menu. The programmer assures me
that the script is inherit of logging onto the actuall network, basically the
script does not exist until you log on each and everytime. The programmer has
no idea why this is happening and obviously neither do i.
Also I already went to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/AllPrograms.htm and do not
feel like changing these regedits as none of it corresponded to my screens
and didn't make much sense to me.
I am no expert so any help would be greatly appreciated but please be
specific in what you ask or tell me to do as I do not want to screw up the
computer (as if that needs to be stated right)
THANKS IN ADVACNED TO ANYONE WHOM MAY HELP

- Windows XP Update >> WUA API Update DownloadContents collection empty for software updatesHello,
Using WUA API in C++, I am trying to retrieve the download location for
each update using the DownloadContents collection property. This works
great for driver updates: they tend to have one UpdateDownloadContent
object, which contains a DownloadUrl property. However, software
updates return an empty DownloadContents collection.
Does anybody know why this might be? Is there another way to retrieve
the update download location?
Thanks so much,
Jill

- Windows XP Security >> Silly security policy questionHello,
I am new to a mixed workgroup environment running NT 4.0,
Windows 2000 and XP. For some time, we have been running
poledit.exe from NT 4.0 to lock down our desktops that
reside in a public environment. We have been applying
this policy to both NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. For the
first time today, we were trying to apply the policy to
Windows XP and have not had very much luck. I have been
unable to find any definitive documentation that states
when poledit.exe became obsolete. Can I use it on XP or
not?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

- Windows XP Security >> Internet slows to a crawlI am running on XP with a DSL connection. After being on
the internet for a few minutes, it slows to a crawl.
After rebooting, it's ok, until, once again, after a few
minutes it slows down. I would look for a solution in
this Newsgroup, but I can only look at a few messages
before it practically comes to a halt. Any ideas?

- Windows XP Hardware >> cannot shutdown after resume from standby/hibernateHas anyone had this problem? After I standby or hibernate
(manual or automatic after timer period) and then resume,
I can no longer shut down Windows XP.
I am running SP1, and suspect it MAY be related (had no
problems months ago), but don't want to re-install WinXP
just to find out. I could have done something else to
make it stop working.
I believe the message is "Preparing to shutdown" when
everything hangs. A key note here is that even the mouse
freezes. (I know some problems occur but the mouse can
still be manipulated)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Here is one article to review.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=888023
boot up using XP, then identify current "windir".
delete win 2k directory. delete win 2k entry in boot.ini file.
Any program or application that you want to use has to be installed when
running Win XP. All personal files will still exist. You just have to restore
program links within Win XP.

You really need to watch the advice you shell out, Logan. The situation
described is not at all unusual, does not represent a problem, and is
trivial to "remedy".

- Windows XP Support >> Big Problems w Outlook Express 6All of a sudden I started having problems with my e-mail. I need help
desperately, but I am not that knowledgeable with computers. I have a lot of
people mad at me...when I send e-mails, everyone gets it hundreds of times.
Also when I send an e-mail it doesn't appear in my sent box it automatically
goes into my outbox. Sometimes I can't receive e-mails, sometimes I can. I
am getting error reports, but I can't read them. I have called my cable
service and they checked everything out and said all my settings are correct.
Why then is this happening? Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

- Windows XP >> Funny NoisesHi,
I'm pretty new to PC stuff, so here goes. I've got
Windows XP Home Edition but since I recently got
broadband internet access I keep getting strange noises
when I use the PC. Its like dinging and zinging noises
you get when people enter or leave a chat room. At first
I thought it might be caused by pop ups from using Kazaa,
however it doesn't matter what programme I'm in, coz I'm
always connected to the net I keep getting these noises.
Anyone able to suggest something or help ion any way. I'd
be most grateful as its driving me maddddddddddd...opps
there goes another zing!!!!!
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> HelpPlease HELP....
I am having trouble with my PC. I have a P4 2.6GHZ, 1024MB PC2700, 2 x
80GB H/D's, a 128MB GeForce 5700SE, Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS, running MS XP
Pro,and it keeps coming up with this fault on nearly all the applications
when I close them, below is just two of the programs that give off that
annoying BING.
I have ran WinSpeedUp and a few other reg checkers and they can't find
anything, I also ran ad-aware6.0 and search and destroy and the same result,
nothing can be found. I am now bald having pulled all the rest of my hair
out trying to find the solution to this fault, and the only one I can think
of is formatting my drives and starting from fresh.
Any help would be much appreciated on this subject, and pointers as to
resolve may end up in my offer of marriage to the person who help's the most
Thank you in advance
