    - CHKDSK errors - I'm confused! Hi Folks, I have run chkdsk several times over the last 24 hours using no switch and /f and /r switches. Each time, errors are found, which are then corrected by using the appropriate switch. All the errors I have seen are index-related. I don't appear to have any bad sectors. An error that has cropped up on more than one occasion is "Deleting an index entry from index $0 of file 25". On the same run, I got "Detected minor inconsistencies on the drive. This is not a corruption". To my surprise, these errors were flagged up when doing a read-only chkdsk. If it's read-only, why does it proceed to delete index entries? The first time I ran chkdsk and saw errors, I thought it was a one-off. But, having corrected the errors and run chkdsk again in read-only mode, again there were errors. I cannot run chkdsk without some errors coming to light. Could anyone explain why this is happening? FYI, I'm running Win XP Pro SP3. Thanks.

    - "Memory Transfer" I Partitioned my hard drive into "G" Operating system=6 GB, "C" Programs=20.9 GB, "D" Data=11.4GB. Me being a numpty thought that the operating system would not need more than 6GB to operate? It now tells me after a year of use that the system is short of memory! I've deleted Folders such as $NtUninstallKB42773$ etc, but still no joy. Is there any way I can allocate more memory to the "G" partition from the "D" or "C" partition? Or will I have to Format again? -- Queensryche Tag: After XP SP3 update, many DLL Fail to initalize errors upon reboot Tag: 228672

Then I stopped (power off) and started the system. From then on I cannot get the windows Defragmenter to work. I uninstalled SS, but the same problem persists.

    - Windows XP: FilesNotToBackup and KeysNotToRestore Hi, I have a specific need to not have System Restore restore certain registry keys and files. I find that FilesNotToBackup (and therefore restore) is honored, but the registry keys mentioned in KeysNotToRestore get changed. I have been specifying the keys in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore. Is this the right place? I noticed in one of the web pages from the System Restore program manager, theres a reference to CurrentControlSet001. I thought it to be a typo. Am I wrong? Also on Windows Vista, FilesNotToBackup is now advisory only and should I be setting the value in FilesNotToSnapShot?

    - Annoying file and web access delays after replacing file server Hi, I replaced my old file server (Windows 2000 Pro Desktop!) by a SBS2003 R2. I moved all data to the new SBS2003 server and created identical shares, removed shares from old Win2K file serer and turned it off. Now, on a WinXP Pro desktop when starting Windows Explorer or IE6, I get annoying delays. The network tray icon reveils a delay of several seconds before network traffic takes place. Then files / sites show up quickly rightafter. When the old file server is powered up (still connected to network), the delays are gone. I suspect the WinXP desktop still uses links to the old file server but have no clue where to look. Q1. What can I do to get rid of these delays ? Q2. Is there a (MS or 3rd party) tool to get rid of these old file links and/or track delays in file / web acces. Please help ! Thank you.

What I want to know is how do you prove that it helps in performance or in my opinion dose snot help unless the drive is badly defragmented.

    - This Page Cannot be Displayed Errors & Additional Questions Hello: Recently, I have been getting "This page cannot be displayed" when browsing. I get this message mainly when I am on a site and clink on a link within the site. My overall browsing experience has been slower recently. My habits: Ran Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool today--no infections found. Run Disk clean up once a week. Defragment once a week. Run Avast Anti-virus at least once a week. Automatic Updates on. Run "check for updates" manually on occasion. Use Windows firewall. Pop-up blocker on. Phishing filter on. Do not game. Occasionaly view video, webcasts, and other media. Recent Downloads: Haute Secure--in beta stage. Questions: 1. What could be causing page display errors? Suggestions? 2. Should I update to SP3 if system was up-to-date prior to its release? 3. Please recommend plain English reading material on how to optimize processes running in background and at start-up. Clueless, but think this area may be causing my slower performance issue. 4. Driver updates? Unfortunately, I got into a nasty discussion in the Dell forum and would like to know your opinion on updating drivers if they are not broken, even if urgent updates are recommended. 5. How do I know if I have an external router? Is this something I would/could have ordered with my original purchase? I apologize if I have asked too many questions or violated posting protocol. I hope my questions are related to this forum. Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your replies.

    - Achieving a FAT32/NTFS partition? Hello A friend of mine has a Win XP laptop and recently bought an external hard-drive which is Windows and Apple compatible. He wants to store Apple compatible music files on the external drive and to be able to listen to those files on his laptop. The laptop does not appear to 'see' the external hard drive, so he was advised to format the laptop hard drive so that while he has Win XP in a NTFS-formatted partition, he ought to have FAT32 for his Apple files/external drive on another. Whether this initial advice was correct or not I am unsure, but it seems a lot of trouble just to listen to Amy Whitehouse. However, if I go to Computer Management and then Disk Management to do this, it does not offer an option - only NTFS is available from the one-item drop down menu. I am not sure if he has tried to format the hard drive previously and that this has made NTFS the only item available in the drop down menu. Is there anything he can do to resolve his problem? Thanks. Steve Tag: After XP SP3 update, many DLL Fail to initalize errors upon reboot Tag: 228542

    - Windows XP performance issue I have a Dell 5150 box that used to have Windows 2000 on it. I recently upgraded to Windows XP and noticed that downloading files from our server is extremly slow. a 2MB file takes about 5 minutes to download to the computer. However, if we upload the 2MB file to the server, it works great. What could be going wrong. When the computer was Windows 2000 we had no speed problems. As soon as we switched the OS, it's very slow. I tried changing the speed and duplex settings on the computer and switch but no combination worked. I even replace the network card and nothing.

    - %temp% I had a previous post on this subject, but perhaps didn't explain the problem correctly because I didn't get any comments that helped solve the problem. For some reason, even though the file is there where it is supposed to be, the command %temp% doesn't work. When I try to install a program that uses that command th einstallation fails. So the question I now have is what does the symbol % mean. Where is the path for %temp% stored and how to I correct that path so that %temp% works correctly? Other % commands seem to function properly. I am running WindowsXP home edition with SP3. Celeron 2.8GHz and 1.5MB RAM. I have an 80GB hard drive with 44GB available.

    - Optimal stripe size of RAID 0 to install OS on? I've done research on this for two days, and all of my questions are cleared except this last one. My post isn't a question that requires someone to explain everything from beginning. :) A couple simple conclusions: 1. small stripe size for random access (OS, applications), large stripe size for data (large files, storage). 2. you would get optimal performance if stripe size = cluster size, or (# of drive * stripe size) = cluster size My question is, the default cluster size for Windows OS is 4k and I believe it stays like that since Win 2000 to now for a reason, the MS engineers must have determined this is the best way. OK then let me assume I don't change that, although a lot of ppl suggest changing it to 16k. Why had I never seen anyone suggesting 4k as stripe size? From all I've read, it's either 16k or 32k. If the concept of "stripe size = cluster size" is correct, wouldn't it be optimal to set 4k strip on a disk that is formatted by Windows installation CD, which cluster is 4k? If 4k option is available on the RAID controller (ICH9R), is there any reason I don't do 4k? Is there any ownside to do 4K? Is it considered TOO SMALL and will increase the burden of RAID controller and reduce the overall performance? Tag: After XP SP3 update, many DLL Fail to initalize errors upon reboot Tag: 228484

    - After Windows Update Laptop Keeps Accessing Disk and Fan Kicks In Hi I did a check through previous post and a few people seem to have had similar problems without specific details, so im going in for as much detail as I have. I have a relatively new laptop (Nov 2007, not used much as migrated from old machine which i hung onto). The machine hasnt got filled with dust, and till the exact time of the automatic update was behaving fine. Yesterday I used Windows/Microsoft updates to apply the latest updates, i only got 7 of them including office updates. The scan for updates took a long time, 2 minutes nearly, with the CPU at 100%. I hadnt had this the last time i ran it. Anyway after it finished and i applied the updates i noticed the fan kicking in a lot more even when no CPU activity was visible using Task Mananger. Anyway I checked for restore points and noted one for Software Distribution Service 3, which i thought was odd as this came out some while back from what i remember so why would it only now decide to install it. My old laptop (which was about 3 years old at the time) had a similar issue with Automatic updates, taking several hours to complete a scan one time after which it had a similar problem. So I tried going back to a restore point from the morning which finished, but the machine still behaves the same. Having been using it for a day now i can tell that the fan kicks in into high RPM without any jump in CPU usage. If there is significant CPU usage it iwll kick in but take a long time to finish up. I noticed that the IO Read Bytes for CSRSS.EXE keeps going up now, and my machine keeps accessing the disk every second or so in a constant pulsing noise. On my old laptop I had similar issues. As I had restore points i went and did what i tried on my old machine, looking at the registry for any odd changes. I compared two from previous days 16th 13th May and nothing significant. When i compared the system hive for 16th vs 20th (snapshot from today) i found that the [HKEY_USERS\myuser\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Power] key had the ACPolicy and DCPolicy values changed, several bytes of the hex values in both cases. I cannot explain these changes as I havent explicitly made any changes myself. So im now left with a laptop where the fan is making more noise than normal like its idling at a higher RPM all the time, with sporadic burst for no apparent reason. I'm hoping someone else might have come across similar issues, as i believe its something to do with an update/patch then effecting part of the OS.

    - Removing Uninstall files I've just upgraded my OEM version of XP Home SP2 to SP3 using a downloaded ISO image of SP3 on CD which all went smoothly. My C:\ partition (about 12GB) which has just the OS on it, is now down to 350-450MB of free space and I am wondering about removing some of the uninstall files in the Windows folder. At the moment there is not enough free space for disk defrag to work properly. The alternative is to increase the partition size which I can do with BootItNG - although I'd like to try the safer alternative first. Given that XP3 rolls up most of the previous KB... updates, what can I safely delete of the uninstall files? (I'm also planning to create a slipstreamed XP SP3 CD and would appreciate a link for the method to do that please, if possible) - I have an XP SP2 installation disk, and the downloaded ISO image of SP3 on CD too.

    - Incorrect volume size on C: drive Hi there I have an IBM notebook with Win XP SP2. When I check the properties on my C: drive it says there is about 2 gig left of the 80. This canâ??t be as there is not that many movies/ music/ apps on the machine. I downloaded an app called â??visdirâ?? & scanned my computer & according to it I have over 30 gig free which sounds about right.

(was running Windows XP Prof, Service Pack 2) After installing, icons for network connections and "safely remove hardware" no longer appeared in tray; wireless & network connection options were not listed when opening "network connections" window; and "Device Manager" listing is blank. Uninstalled Service Pack 3 this evening, but none of those details were corrected. Any ideas on how to recover them.

    - Cannot Unlock XP SP2 Pro Computers Since Hotfixes I distributed 11 hotfixes to a group of 289 XP Pro SP2 systems via SMS last July. The majority of the computers only installed KB933566 (IE Cumulative Update), KB935839 (Win32 API), and KB935840 (Schannel). Starting about an hour after the first reboots, a small number of these systems are giving a greyed out logon panel when you try to unlock the computer from a password protected screensaver. The majority of the incidents happened after a timer invocation of the screensaver (10 minutes by system policy), but there have been occasions when the user invoked it via Ctrl-Alt-Del - Lock Computer. When this happens, the user presses Ctrl-Alt-Del to unlock the computer, the UERID field is blank and greyed out, and the password field is greyed out. If you hit enter, a logon failure 529 error is generated in the Security Event Log with a logon type code of 7 (unlock), and the User Name in the event message is blank. This has been reported on about 15% of the systems since the original incident. Most people do not experience the incident more than once or twice, but a small number of computers are seeing it 2 or 3 times a month. The only recovery we have found so far is to power cycle the machine, so the engineers lose whatever they were working on when they took a phone call, grabbed a cup of coffee, or whatever. I have not been able to find anything common between these systems in the Application, Security, or System event logs at the time of the failure. I have uninstalled one of more of the hotfixes from computers that have had this problem more than once, but that has not helped. I have located two other references to this problem that have suggested older versions of VNC to be the culprit (most of these computers have version 4.1.2 installed) or a USB mouse (most of these computers still have a PS2 mouse).

    - On restart: TrayApp Error 1706 When starting my computer, Windows Installer msg appears: TrayApp Error 1706: No valid source could be found for product TrayApp. The windows installer cannot continue. Insert CD or Browse for Installation Pkg (*.msi) I was having a problem with my computer being slow, so I downloaded XP Srvc Pk 3, and Defender program. This msg keeps going even when I cancel it it will start up again automatically. I have to go to task manager and end program. What is causing this? Any ideas? I am a novice at this.

    - A Few Corrupt Registry Keys I have a few (maybe 4) corrupt keys in my Windows Registry. At least 2 of them are in HKLM. Any attempt to search the registry with REGEDIT results in my computer rebooting, if the search string is not found before a corrupt key is encountered. Any attempt at exporting the registry branch with the corrupt key results in my computer re-booting. To repeat: I cannot export to a REG file. I cannot search the registry. This problem is NOT new. I have had it for quite a while. It is a PAIN. Can anyone help? Thanks. Tag: After XP SP3 update, many DLL Fail to initalize errors upon reboot Tag: 228454

Did you temporarily turn off your anti-virus system during this SP3
update?

Did you install this update via the Windows Update web site? It
seems that this WU update may cause more problems during the update.
