- 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.

- 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 Support >> Desktop icons highlightedToday my desktop icons developed backgrounds behind the words. For example
"My Documents" instead of just being words on the screen is now in a
rectangular box. The color of the text box can be changed by changing the
desktop themes but I can't turn it off.
Thanks

- 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.

- 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 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 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 Support >> Notification Tray Icons - Display too short
My 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)
Thanks,
Brian

Windows XP Support >> Notification Tray Icons - Display too short
I tried this as well and it didnt work. This is not ballon tips, but
the "control" tips. I think there is a difference.
Its the same as hovering over the close button on any window.

When I try to start over with my original XP disk, the system gets as far as

crashes with a blue screen "Windows has closed down to save your computer

- Windows XP >> Need updated udfs.sysI am currently experiencing problems with UDF discs as described in kb899527,
except that it's with CD-RWs rather than DVD-RWs. The kb says that there is a
hotfix available, but you have to contact Microsoft Product Support Services
to get it. When I try to contact Microsoft Product Support Services though, I
get a screen saying "Products purchased under a Select License Agreement or
Software Assurance Home Use Program are not eligible for no-charge support."
kb899527 states "In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for
support calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines
that a specific update will resolve your problem." So I don't think I'd have
to pay for the hotfix in the end, but I don't want to have to pay for it up
front in any case. Is there any way for me to just download this hotfix
without going through Microsoft Product Support Services?
Thanks,
