- Windows XP Support >> Windows login - changed user nameA little background. When the computer was set up we recorded user "Sally"
on the setup screen. Windows XP Professional, Dell 6000 Inspiron. Sally
left the company so we renamed the User to "KS". On the windows login screen
it continues to default to "Sally" and requests a password which we don't
have. If we change the user to "KS" we can log in to the computer and
continue business as usual. If we go to Control Panel-Users Sally is no
longer listed there or is she listed in Control PanelAdministrative
Tools|Computer Management|Local Users and Groups|Users. So I can't use the
control userpasswords 2 command to get rid of the password. I would like to
have the login in screen default to "KS" our current user and get rid of any
reference to "Sally". Does anyone have any ideas?

- Windows XP Network >> Direcway Satellite ICS problemsI have a new direcway internet system that is a two way
system connected by usb port. I already had a network
that was running fine with xp pro until the direcway was
installed. the direcway will work ok for a while after
reboot but stops suddenly after a few minutes. If i
disable the local network nic the direcway will browse ok
until the nic is enabled again. Direcway will not help me
saying they do not support networks but say it will work.
I have gone through all of the setup several times and
double checked all suggestions from windows and direcway
but nothing works. any help we be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> profile damaged & missing documentsI logged onto my pc and my profile was 'damaged', meaning that I had none of
my documents/desktop/favourites etc on my area and my stuff had been moved to
another folder in documents & settings. I moved my documents from the folder
in documents & stetings (where they used to be) into my new area and then
logged off, saved it etc.
On logging back on, my documents are completely gone. When using Search, all
I find are shortcuts in my old 'recent documents' folder and I cannot get any
of my things back. Using system restore does not seem to help, as, though my
desktop goes back to its old self, my documents remain missing.
This error corresponds with the URL below, which gives microsoft's hints,
which I didn't follow as I couldn't connect to the 'net when this occurred.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326688
If anybody out there could give me some help or advice, I would be very
grateful indeed. I would be especially intesrested to know if my documents
have permanently gone or are languishing and could be restored (I think the
former is probably correct)
Thanks

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Formatting/PartitioningHi group,
I've been having problems with worms lately and they have really messed up my harddrive. I wish to format the drive (I only have the one) and then partition it. One partition for XP Pro and the other for my Data.
First question: How do I format the harddrive? I went into MS-Dos command through Explorer but it won't let me do it.
Second question: I also have access to a partitioning software. Is it of any use for me at this time?
Third question: If the partitioining software is not necessary, how do I partition my harddrive after I have formatted it?
I would appreciate any help that I could get.

- Windows XP Setup >> New WinXP installed itself on H: driveMy wife has just installed WinXP Home on a new PC which had one raw
120gb hard drive and found it has set the 3 partitions she created as
H: (WinXP) I: (Apps) J: (Data), instead of the normal C:,D:,E:. Her
only other drive is a CD-RW/DVD combo which appears as D:.
3 removable drives have appeared,labelled E:,F:,G:.... but in fact she
has no removeable drives, these would seem to be the USB ports on the
motherboard!!
Any idea what might have gone wrong and how it might be fixed?
Could she use Partition Magic or a similar utility, since the XP Disk
Manager will not allow her to change the system drive letter?
Or is the best solution to start again, reinstall Win XP?
Thanks for any guidance

- Windows XP Setup >> Usb keybord not workingIm having a bad time installing windows xp, I have a
computer in wich the mouse and keyboard are connected via
usb, when i run the installation from the bootable cd i
can access to it when it says press any key to boot from
cd, this shows that the BIOS is recognizing the keyboard,
but when i get into the installation menu the keyboard
doesnt respond, so there is no way to continue through
the installation, the computer doesnt have any serial
port, so there is no way to connect any different
keyboard other than the USB. What can i do to complete
the installation?

- Windows XP >> 119 New Messages?I'm curious what this message means. When Windows first starts when I turn
the comp on in the morning, I sometimes get a message under my Log On name
that says something like: "50 New Messages". I only get the message once in
a while. This morning it said "119 New Messages". I check my Outlook
Express and I only had 5 new messages. I also have two hotmail accounts. Is
this message indicating that I have 119 new messages in one or both of my
hotmail accounts?
Just curious. Thanks for the help. Mike

- Windows XP Security >> Help!!!When my daughter was 12 she knew that if you disconnected
the battery in the hard drive you could by-pass the
passwords. Now that she is 18, I am in big trouble. She
knows way more than me and I can't seem to keep up
anymore. She has already rendered one computer unusable.
Windows XP Home Edition is on the computer and I can't
access anything. She has shut me out of everything so if
I want to stop her ability to use the computer I can't.
Is there any information available to help me out. I am
a single mum with no extra money and so can't afford to
get in touch with Microsoft directly or use any of their
services other than this one.
I would also like to know if there is a way without her
knowing to stop access to inappropriate sites. She
allows her friends to use the computer and I have no idea
what sites they get into not to mention all the junk she
puts on it herself.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP >> Unable to delete fileUnable to delete an avi file. Found 2 trojan virus' in
windows media player - deleted virus' but still cannot
delete file. Computer says it is being used by another
program or user. There are no other users and I ended

Unable to determine which program is using it. Is there
any way to bypass the being used from another program so
that it could be deleted regardless of what or who is

- Windows XP >> Notification AreaHello:
My computer started acting weird. When you put your pointer over an item in
the notification area (systray) instead of the balloon popping up above and
in front, it pops up low and behind the task bar. You can not read what it
says.
Anyone know what caused this?
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Domain and local Administrator does not have privilegesAs domain and local Administrator, I tried downloading Windows updates
including IE but only a few of the updates worked but not IE 7. I had
to create a user and grant Administrator rights and then only did it
allow me to update. Also System Restore does not work under Domain and
Local Administrator. I checked the security policy and Administrator
has rights for the most part across the board (including system restore
service). I also tried restarting the System Restore service but I
still get the message:
You do not have sufficient provileges to restore your system. Please
contact your administrator, or logout and log in again as an
administrator and try again.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Support >> DVD/RW ProblemI have a Dell E510 that has a drive HL-DT-ST DVD+ - RW GWA 41648 drive.
I can put a program CD in the drive such as Windows disk and the drive
reads it. If I put a data disk that was written on another Dell and seen
by all Dells in the office, it can't see information on disk. If I try
to write as new data disk Windows keeps asking me to insert a blank
disk. Same thing if I ask it to erase or format the disk. What should I do?

- Windows XP Support >> Windows XP MCE 2005 boot problemsHello everybody,
Since briefly I've been experiencing severe troubles with my MCE box. More
specifically, it refuses to boot into windows...
This is what happens :
- The system completes POST without any problems
- The raid array is succesfully detected
- A menu appears stating that "Windows has been unproperly shutdown ..."
Whatever option I choose in the menu (safe mode, last known working config,
default, ...) always results in the system just starting boot all over
again. The windows boot screen appears briefly for a second or something, and
then the system just starts all over again.
I've tried the following :
- Verify the integrity of RAID array
- Run memtest
- BIOS reset
I've also tried booting with a live cd, and this works perfectly, so I
believe there is no hardware malfunction.
I'm running out of ideas, anyone know how I could fix this??
Greetz,

- Windows XP Network >> home networking xp 3.5 floppy driveI want to set up a home network with 3 computers. The computer that will
dial up my internet service does not have a floppy drive. When I try to set
the network up I begin on the machine that dials my internet connection it
wants me to make a disk for the other computers. How can I get around this
since I do not have a floppy drive?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Useful commandOccassionally the question comes up about "When did my Windows
get originally installed". Learned tonight that there is a command prompt
based command, SystemInfo that returns that information, including the
hour/minute of installation.
Best to redirect the output to a text file to examine, such as:
Start, Run (Type) Cmd [Enter]
>SystemInfo >C:\Sysinfo.Txt
Thought I'd pass the information along.

- Windows XP Network >> Locked files on XP shared drivesI have come across a problem on a number of small Windows networks
where a new machine has been installed running WinXP and it has
folders shared for access across the network. The client machines are
a mixture of both Win98 and WinXP. For most files there is no problem
accessing the shared folders however for a small number of files
mainly Publisher 2000, Access 2000 and zip utilites, once a file has
been opened on the sharing machine it then beocmes locked and cannot
be copied or opened by the other machines on the network. There is no
problem opening on the sharing machine, and this condition does not
clear itself when the machine is rebooted. The network machines
usually get an access denied message when trying to open the file.
They can still open other files on the shared drive so the problem
does not lie with the folder permissions. If the files is copied and
renamed in Windows Explorer on the hsaring machine it becomes
accessible again. Though Word and Excel files are being regularly
edited on the sharing they do not exhibit this problem.
Does any one know if there is a reason for this behaviour, whether
there is any sort of fix to stop it occurring, or if there isn't where
the information about a file being locked is kept in the WinXp system
and whether there is any way of clearing these locks - even manually
would be better than nothing.
Sorry this has been so long-winded.

- Windows XP >> Windows explorer errorI get an error message when trying to install my
networked HP printer on my windows XP home ed. computer
saying that setup failed and the computer can't be
installed while using their setup wizard. when i use
Windows XPs add printer funtion, it works for adding it
as a USB printer. however, it gives me an error message
that windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs
to close when i try to install it as a networked printer
using windows xp's printer controls (not the HP wizard
that came with it). i think that windows explorer may
have become corrupted on my computer. any advice about
how to repair or reinstall that part of windows?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Beyond TV 3.5 vs SageTV 2.2 - which is better, to replace Windows Media Center Edition 2005?I'm using a new Dell WinXP Media Center 2005, 3.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM
system, with Windows Movie Maker Version 2.1.4026.0, an NVIDIA GeForce
6800 video card, an Angel TV tuner card (has two tuners), and an SB
Audigy 2ZS Audio (D8CO) sound card.
I'd like to record old VCR tapes as well as current TV shows into my
computer, manipulate them using Movie Maker 2.1 and/or Ulead DVD Movie
Factory 4 Disc Creator Edition, and then burn them to DVD's.
However, Windows Media Center Edition 2005 only writes in its own
proprietary dvr-ms file format, plus it flags some programs as not
being allowed to be copied. So I need a software program that will do
everything MCE2005 will do, plus write files using more
commonly-shared file formats, readable by Movie Maker and Movie
Factory.
Beyond TV 3.5.3 (http://snipurl.com/f4n1) and SageTV Version 2.2
(http://snipurl.com/f4n3) seem to be the best contenders. What are the
strengths/weaknesses of each? Before purchasing either I'd greatly
appreciate all suggestions.
Thanks.
