    - Applications fail to load after chkdsk auto repair My system with raid5 disks(3disks) 'crashed' yesterday while I was using Internet Explorer 6, visiting some dynamic/ajax enabled webpage, and clicking on an ajax enabled button. Trust me when I say it was this one that locked up my pc this way. Not that worse that I lost all my precious data... some tough luck huh :D I had to manually turn my pc off and turned it on again. After BIOS, the raid controller/bios came with its errors. I skipped the error message and started to boot xp. Chkdsk ran and recovered some free disk space (here the mess really begins, as I would find out afterwards). The problem now is, when I startup my pc, I get stuck with many applications that try to startup, but all fail and error. All seem to be related to COM errors(? as far as I understand the next errors). - skype gives something with ole errors - winrar never opens up nor giving an error message visually (but it does in eventvwr - application - eventid 1000, and with file kernel32.dll) - winvnc gives a dozen or even a few dozens of errormessages every 2-3 secs after login with rpcrt4.dll, and another app as well... These are the noticeable errors. In eventviewer I found some more errors, most userevnt 1000 errors. Some application errors that popup also show "The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000005) occured in the application at location 0x2d828acd ... ", as Adobe acrobat did. And if I start MS Word '03, it says something like "...documents cannot be linked this time..." and locks up. I believe chkdsk shouldn't free up that used disk space. This because I think it was partially pointing to data on the erroring raid5 disk. My suggestion to MS is, -if winxp can see that a RAID is giving errors- that chkdsk should not run after a one-raid5-disk-failure or a RAID degredation. Or else showing by default a message at auto chkdsk, with: "cancel chkdsk if you having RAID errors". Another possibility of the error(my actual problem) is it was created by the pc lockup where it all started. But there was no disk activity during manual shutdown, so... And another possibility is that one special website can lock my browser / pc up, -possibly- since the latest software changes: Some software changes which -might- have messed with my internet explorer: The latest software change I initialized was installing a .net mobile application devtoolkit, a .net sdk(v2.0 64bit), ASP.NET Futures July 2007(v1.2.61025), and a fix for asp.net framework v2.0.50727 (I can't find the fix version/name). This all around the 18th of October. I had the system lockup one time before, but managed to kill internet explorer and I could go on using my system. That was a few days before this happened, and... at the same website(tweakers.net, dutch site) with it's ajax enabled stuff. Last possibility is: the raid striping over the three disks was making a mess. Some error info about the raid array: One disk ended up with 'error' in nvidia mediashield (got an nforce4 chipset with raidcontroller), but healthy and the other 2 disks were 'degraded', but also healthy. This was right after the first reboot and chkdsk. Almost the same message was provided after BIOS by the raid controller (= before winxp boot). After rebuilding the RAID, nothing really changed, except the degradation was gradated again. Sorry for this huge explanation of my problem, but I wanted to give all the details so it could be used to possibly prevent this kind of problems in the future with RAID's, chkdsk by-design-flaws, Internet Explorer/.Net/Ajax or whatever contributed to my problem. But if someone could tell me how to recover (for free, don't going to pay for anybody's bugs) the chkdsk erasing action and/or how to normally use all my apps again without any windows or app reinstall, I would be very pleased. Kind regards, Michael Ponsteen Netherlands Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52466

    - Windows Support Tools I'm using XP Home Addition, but felt my problem would be answered better in this group. I was looking around on my HD and saw a folder C:\Bundle, so I clicked on it. There were two folders in it titled "support" and "valueadd". I clicked on the "support" folder, which went to "tools" and then there was a few files. I clicked on the "suptools" file (Window Installer) and up came a MS Install Wizard. I had two choices in the installer of a "typical" and "complete" install. I decided to do a restore point just in case something went wrong, so I canceled out and made the restore point. Then I went back and did the "typical" install. After looking through what got installed it became apparent this was meant for XP Pro and/or XP-64 and at levels beyond what I would use. There was no "un" install feature nor a Control Panel entry to remove what I just had installed. I went to System Restore and found that installing the Support Tools created it's own restore point and removed "all" previous restore points that were there before I did the install. I clicked on the restore point and after trying there was a message that my PC could "not" be restored to that point. It appears that everything is working OK so far, but I'd like to remove the Support Tools since I won't ever be using any of them. It put all of the apps in C:\Program Files\Support Tools. I'm sure there are register entries and such that got installed; is there anyway to remove what got installed "completely" as an "un" install feature would do ?? If not, will my PC suffer any ill effects from having installed these tools. Thanks in advance. Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52460

    - Cannot detect second hard drive after upgrade to Win XP 64-bit Hello, I recently upgraded my computer with a new motherboard and processor, but I kept my original two hard drives (one primary, one slave). Once the motherboard and processor was installed, I reinstalled windows xp. Prior to the upgrade I was running windows xp professional (32-bit) and decided to upgrade to windows xp professional (64-bit). During setup windows was able to see both hard drives. Windows was installed on the primary hard drive. Naturally, I had to reformat my primary hard drive, the second hard drive was not formatted. After installation I can only see the primary hard drive (C:). There is no icon or drive letter for the second hard drive (which should be labeled E:). I can see the drive in "device manager" and "computer management" but I cannot assign a drive letter. As far as I know, the hard drive and cables are functioning. Why can't I access my second/slave hard drive? Do I have to reformat the drive and lose all of my saved information? Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52445

    - Logitech Setpoint on Vista 64, install solution I had a problem installing Logitech Setpoint 64 bit Vista version. Whilst I had searched the Logitech site for solutions none of them worked, I have found the cause and the solution ... this should even apply to some other software installations on Vista. Problem: Logitech Setpoint 4.0 for 64Bit Vista will not complete the installation. Cause: Admin rights not applied to the "correct" executable, due to unzipping of files to temp dir. Solution: 1) Run the Logitech Setpoint installer as Administrator This will unzip the actual installation files to a temp folder within C:\Users\UrUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\ 2) Locate the real installation files (search for setup.exe within the above folder) mine was called "pft3786.tmp" - within this folder are the actual set up files. 3) Run the Setup.exe in this folder AS ADMINISTRATOR and the software will install correctly. Hope this helps anyone with similar install problems. Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52392

    - A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within Hi Guys, Am an experienced system builder, and former software dev MVP. Recently put together a machine; E6700 Quad Core CPU Abit AW9D-Max Motherboard 2GB of PC8500 RAM ATI Radeon X1800 XL etc. I have installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. I am getting random BSODs and reboots. I'm getting a comination of stop codes. Usually it's 'A Clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval' Sometimes it's 0x0A IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL, but usually it's 0x0101 So, for example; 0x00000101, 0x000...030, 0x000...0, 0xFF..., 0x000...03 0x00000101, 0x000...030, 0x000...0, 0xFF..., 0x000...02 or 0x0000000A, 0x000...030, 0x000...C, 0x000...01, 0xFF.... I have swapped out the memory with known good memory. I have updated the motherboard BIOS to its latest version. I have tried both the latest graphics drivers from ATI and the default Microsoft drivers that Vista installs. The machine is not overheating. The built-in memory tester in windows ran the tests without issue. The machine seems to behave itself while running in Safe Mode. Loading the game 'World of Warcraft' can cause it to crash very quickly - but sometimes I can get a few minutes out of the game. Opening apparently any other game will not cause the machine to crash. Any thoughts? Regards, Jamie Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52389

    - x64 Drivers for Printers Ok I have a good question. I recently upgraded my Servers from Windows 2003 R2 (x86) to Windows 2003 R2 (x64). Now I am having a few problems but one of my biggest problems right now stems from my printers. I am unable to add the printers via Print Management. This is because HP in all their wonderful wisdom does not make a x64 bit driver disk. Don't ask me why. They only offer it in a downloadable package. Problem is this is not a .zip file which would make sense. It is a .exe install program. Now I have been on the phone with HP for days and have cursed them out for not having a .zip file of the drivers. The install package will not make it through the install process because it is stupid and is looking for 2 things, the printer to be hooked up via USB, which they aren't because they are network printers, and a temp folder that self-implodes as soon as the install program makes it. So their program is hosed and I let them know that. So my question is does anyone know away around this to add the x64 bit drivers, without having to use their stupid program?

    - Cannot run x86 programs Ok, so this is a weird one. It just sort of started happening out of the blue. My computer gets an IP just fine, but when I attempt to connect to the internet it won't connect. I did some troubleshooting and found that I was also having an issue with windows media player and my antivirus (nod32) crashing. I played around a little more and found that the x64 versions of these programs worked just fine. I am able to get online using the x64 version of IE, and my media player doesn't crash when using the x64 version. Now obviously since the x86 versions are the defaults this causes some issues and most programs don't see that they are connected to the internet (AIM, Gtalk, etc). I consider myself fairly well versed in Vista and I have no idea what to do with this one. Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks! Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52355

    - Is using 32-bit appz on x64 better than on x86? Hi, I went x64 because of the benefits found in one of the major programs I was using. As it turns out, problems with plugins means I will be using the 32-bit version of this program on my x64 installation. In fact, most everything installed on my computer is 32-bits, because of various conflicts and problems. Am I better off switching back to XP x86, or sticking with with x64 and continuing to use 32-bits appz on it? Am I doing more harm than good hanging on to x64 when I'm not really using anything 64-bits? Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52331

    - Trouble running trial version setup Hi - this is my first post here. I am having trouble running XP Pro 64-bit trial setup. I had downloaded the ISO from Microsoft, and burned it onto a CD-ROM. Ran the setup from boot, and the setup program goes through its process loading the drivers and whatnot that is needed for setup. However, after it's done loading everything needed, the setup program reboots my machine - I didn't get a chance to choose where I wanted to setup the OS, or whatever. From what I can tell, the program reboots after the message "loading Windows NT file system" or something like that - can't be absolutely sure, as it only appears very briefly. I don't see any kind of error message, either. I've tried re-downloading the ISO, thinkning I had a corrupt download, but the 2nd one I got is the exact same size as the original, so I don't think this is the problem. I don't think I have a corrupt burn either - otherwise setup wouldn't run in the first place, right? Nevertheless, the program I used for that didn't give me any error, either. The hardware has been working fine since Day 1 I got this machine 2 years ago. I have checked with the manufacturer of my motherboard for a BIOS update I seem to already have the latest - last updated back in May, 2006, so I don't think it's an issue with that. I have heard some having trouble with Raid support, but I have this disabled in my BIOS as I don't have a need for it. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to make sure I covered the common problems first. I would really appreciate any input. Here are my specs: Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (this *should* support the OS) Memory: 1 GB DDR 400 Hard Disk: I have 2 - 1 SATA 120 MB drive (Western Digital, has 32-bit XP Pro), & 1 IDE 6 GB drive (Quantum Fireball - this is the drive I intend to install the 64-bit trial - it's empty) Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52244

    - I can't delete a folder on my desktop When I renamed a folder on my desktop, instead of typing in a word, I typed "Alt+255". This makes the text disappear. This also makes the file hard to delete. I can't delete the folder. In command prompt, if I try to delete it, it says "The syntax of the command is incorrect." I also tried "del *.*" in the command prompt, but this only worked for other things in the prompt. I'm not sure what to do, and would appreciate your advice. Thanks, Brian Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52242

    - DEP Data Execution Prevention (exclude List) in vista 64 I have excluded some programs by putting them in the exclude list. When I remove them with remove button & apply settings they all re-appear when I close then re-enter. How do I remove items from the exclude list? This happens even if I hit apply & re-boot. I also tried to remove them in safe mode,they all just reappear upon close & re-open Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52219

    - USB devices diplay I'm wanting to reformat a USB external drive. I have just installed the 64bit Home Premium version of Vista on a newly built system and I guess I'm just going to have to ask some questions until I learn some things on this version. I want to use a USB external drive that currently is formatted in Linux. When I plug it in and go to 'computer', it shows Devices with Removeable Storage (3) and physically shows three devices; Drive D: my master DVD drive, Drive E: my slave DVD drive, and Drive F. However, when I right click on drive F, and then cklick on Properties>Hardware, it lists both of my DVD drives, my printer, my external drive, and both of my hard drives. When I click on Start>Computer....Can I make the system display all devices individually so that I can simply click on each one? Thanks Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52206

    - 32 bi NetBIOS() caused RTC checks to complain under 64 bit Win2003 Hi The below routine works just fine on 32 bit Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003. But under WOW32 on a 2003 64 bit system the debug code (compiled with runtime checks) fails claiming that "Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'ncbO' was corrupted." Release version without the check seems to work ok but i want to debug. I'm using MSVC 2003 7.1.6030 and don't currently have time to convert the code to 64 bit. Here is the routine which purpose is to simulate use of "NBTSTAT -a computername" to check if a workstation is online. Netbios is after all considerably more reliable than ping. BOOL CheckOnline(char *p_szComputername) { NCB ncbO; int i; UCHAR uc; char sz[50]; struct { ADAPTER_STATUS as; NAME_BUFFER nb[20]; } X; if (p_szComputername==NULL) return FALSE; if ((i=strlen(p_szComputername))<2) return FALSE; if (i>16) return FALSE; memset(&ncbO, 0, sizeof(NCB)); ncbO.ncb_buffer = &X; memset(&X, 0, sizeof(X)); ncbO.ncb_length=sizeof(X); ncbO.ncb_lana_num = iBestLANadapter(); ncbO.ncb_command = NCBRESET; Netbios(&ncbO); ncbO.ncb_command = NCBASTAT; memcpy(ncbO.ncb_name, "IMIPserver ", 16); memcpy(sz, p_szComputername, i); sz[i]=0; strupr(sz); memset(ncbO.ncb_callname, ' ', 16); memcpy(ncbO.ncb_callname, sz, i); uc=Netbios(&ncbO); if (uc==NRC_CMDTMO) { Sleep(1000); ncbO.ncb_length=sizeof(X); uc=Netbios(&ncbO); } if (uc!=NRC_GOODRET && uc!=NRC_INCOMP) return FALSE; if (uc==NRC_INCOMP) { return FALSE; /* Need to issue second command ? */ } return TRUE; } Can it be possible that the WOW32 has a bug making it update the structures with data in 64 bit format? But even so i would think that huge buffer should be big enough and i have also tried to add extra buffers around it. Maybe it's just the runtime check routine that gets confused somehow. Help! Also, can someone tell how one is supposed to handle NRC_INCOMP ? And is the NCBRESET step always required? - Sten Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52204

    - Something strange going on with Windows X64 Pro and Nvidia Network Controller. Hello, When trying to send udp packets with a random payload size between 0 and 65000 windows only sends little packets ? The udp packets are not fragmented properly... at least according to ethereal... Could be a windows x64 stack bug, an ethereal/winpcap bug or maybe it's my program at fault. Really weird. Windows x64 Pro also the most crashy operating system so far, haven't tried vista yet though... only in virtual pc and even that was bad he ! ;) Bye, Skybuck Tag: Updating Live Messenger 8.5 Tag: 52155

I had a prevous beta of Messenger 8.5 installed.
A couple of weeks back it prompted me to install a newer beta.
You are not stuck having to check anything.
