    - defragmenter is not working "greyed out" I have windows xp home edition. I have been trying to defrag my hard disk now for a few months but the box keeps coming up "greyed out" showing the bars etc with no instructions visable and the buttons won't respond. I have tried various ways to cure this problem including "disk cleanup" and starting in safe mode etc, but without success. I am reluctant to reinstall windows xp in case it will lose important work / files /software on my computer. Is there another way to make my defragmenter system work? Any help and advice would be much appreciated. -- plato Tag: Java 6.5 will not install Tag: 227260

    - HDD thrashing with very long file coping times HI all, whenever i try to copy a file onto my hard drive, the HDD shows intense activity and the copy times go up exponentially.this happens when doin copy-paste operation from one folder, on the same drive to another, copying from a usb drive and copying from the lan network(the transfer speed from the network is around 1.5 Mpbs, there is no issue with the network itself but jsut my terminal.) also when windows is booting there is again intense HDD activity and it takes around 5 minutes to boot up to the login screen.The same occurs when i login to windows with my account. i have tried scanning my notebook for viruses(symantic enppoint portection with updated definitions), turned off system restore,turned off indexing service and automatic disk defrag.ive also tried to shut down all the extra startup programs but the problem remains.Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

    - workstation disaster recovery - disk imaging? Hello, I've been running small networks for enough years to recognize that I spend too much time wiping hard drives clean and reinstalling their OS. Maybe it's only every three or four years, but it's an hours long process, what with all the updates & patches. Now I'm exploring ways to improve this process. I'm considering disk imaging software (like Acronis True Image and Norton Ghost), and wondering about XP's System Restore. Is XP's System Restore reliable, and can I make a restore point after the initial, clean install, and keep that restore point? Is that as effective as wiping the hard drive clean, and copying a ghosted image of that initial clean install? If I use disk imaging software, do I need to take a complete copy of the drive, or can I just somehow copy pertinent drivers and operating system files? I'm wondering about the space implications, and where this info is stored. I gather that many new PCs come with a hidden partition which contains some mysterious recovery utility? But what use is that, if, after a few years, the hard drive dies? If the hard drive dies, then I suppose an image of that drive would be useless, unless it's replaced by the exact same model number? In a network of 25 workstations, which would be more sensible: Get enough external harddrive space and disk imaging software, make & store images of all the workstations, then if something gets corrupted/infected/otherwise bogged down I can just restore the good image? Would it be better to use server storage space for this? Or am I okay relying on XP's System Restore? So many questions... Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might share!!

    - help with freeze up? i have a suite of programs i have been trying to open. they/it freezes up when started and i have to shut windows down manually and reboot. when i uninstall the program and reinstall it, i can open it repeatedly without problem. if i reboot and try to open it it refuses to open and freezes the desktop again and i have to uninstall it and start over. someone suggested changing the compatibility of the program and i changed it to windows 98 and tried to start it and it worked without a new install, but then when i rebooted my computer and tried to open it, it went back to freezing the desktop. something must be happening to the program during windows shutdown and start up? ive had this group of programs for a few years and they have worked great up until recently. my computer is pretty empty so theres plenty of room. i have windows xp home sp2 fully updated, windows defender, spybot, spysweeper and others, + zone alarm + avg anti-virus. ive done registry cleanings. i wanted to do a restore back to before i had these problems but restore will not work. i deleted ie7 awhile back i dont know if thats the cause for restore not working? im trying to avoid a destructive restore but i need my programs. (which have worked fine with windows xp until recently.) any suggestions as to what may be causing this problem and how i can fix it? Tag: Java 6.5 will not install Tag: 227226

    - After using Add/Remove, now system won't boot properly Someone I know who has a Windows XP Pro desktop computer has AOL running on it with McAfee Firewall (which is apparently tied in with the AOL). Recently, because of some access problem, the McAfee Firewall had been set to "Allow All". (There are three settings, "Allow All" programs to access the internet, "Filter" (selectively allow some but not others), and "Allow None"). Later, it was decided that "Allow All" would be too hazardous and that it should be set instead to "Filter". After this was done, it was discovered that no internet access at all was occurring. When the McAfee Firewall icon was launched, a pop-up window would say something like "Would you like to turn on the McAfee firewall service? Yes/No". When "Yes" was clicked, the box would vanish but reappear about three seconds later. When "Yes" was clicked again, the box would again vanish only to reappear about three seconds later. So there was apparently some infinite loop, and the only way to dismiss the box was to click on "No". But of course, this meant still no internet access. (The DSL internet line, by the way, was OK. If we plugged it into an alternate computer, we were able to access the internet just fine). Then we had the idea of uninstalling the McAfee Firewall. We went into the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs and specifed uninstall of the McAfee Firewall as well as a few Windows Live programs. When we restarted the computer, the bootup process got to the point of displaying the blank desktop with its textured background and was about to place the program icons on it but didn't actually get to that point. It instead just displayed the blank desktop and that was it. (There was no taskbar at the bottom of the screen and therefore no Start Menu button). There was a mouse arrow which would move if the mouse was moved (but there was nothing on the desktop to click on). If we did Ctrl+Alt+Del, a Task Manager would eventually appear after some long delay, but when we clicked on "Shut Down", a box came up saying "Ending EXPLORER" but it didn't complete and we had to click on "End Task", which left us still on the blank desktop. We were able to shut off the computer only by pressing the power button and holding it in for about 10 seconds. We then tried booting up in Safe Mode with Networking. Similar to before, the black desktop was displayed with nothing on it except the "Safe Mode" captions along the edges of the desktop, but no program icons on it and no taskbar at the bottom of the screen. As before, the only way to turn off the computer was to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds. I'd normally think of running System Restore, but how would I do that under these circumstances? If I knew the .exe name and path of System Restore, I could try to run it from the Task Manager's "New Task (Run)". Does anyone know the .exe name and path of System Restore? Does anyone know what else could be done? ... Tag: Java 6.5 will not install Tag: 227181

    - XP Backup - All Network Devices/Files Greyed Out I have been running XP Backup for several years. It has been backing up My Documents from several XP and Vista boxes on my network. I did a Full backup and then Incremental backups each night. Every few months I redo the Full backup and restart the process. This week I added a new box to the network, went to XP backup to change folders that were being backed up. Well, much to my surprise backup could not longer see any of the devices on the network. All network computers are greyed out and you cannot even open them to see the drives, folders, etc. All of the folders to be backed up are shared and can be seen for the system running backup. I have not been able to find any solutions to this problem. Help. Tag: Java 6.5 will not install Tag: 227179

    - Windows XP frozen and safe mode freezes also-have unsaved files! H Hello! I have Windows XP 2005 Media version and I use AVG for virus protection. My computer is approx 18 months old and under warranty but I am not getting any help over the phone and that is all they are offering at this point. I have files saved on my computer that I had not backed up and do need to recover if I at all can. I have a flash drive ready to do that! Trust me when I say I have learned my lesson and I don't plan to save anything directly on my computer. I will use CDs and Flash Drives to maintain my files for when I need them. My computer was working fine until approx 1 week ago. When I turned on my computer, it froze (locked) up. I was able at one point during the day to get the computer to let me open up in safe mode. I performed Check Disk and it told me that the volume in C was dirty. It proceeded on to check the rest of the disk. However, when it completes and goes to the log in page and I clik on my icon, the system freezes up. Now I cannot even open up in safe mode as it freezes (locks) up in safe mode as well. Today,I called Dell as my computer is still under warranty, and was told she could help me to do a system retore and I would lose all of my files, etc. She advised that first I contact a local repair person to get them to help me to back up my files and then call her back to complete the system restore. I couln't get any other info or help and ended the phone call more confused and stressed. I have many files that I have not backed up on any other source and I know I should have done so all along. I have been able to do the F12 and all the tests pass. If I do F8 and go to prev safe configuration it will bring up the sign in page, but freezes up when I click on the icon and try to input my password. What is causing this? Is my drive corrupted? How can I fix this without losing all my files? I need my computer desparately and need your help even more. I opened the computer and cleaned it out. It still freezes up. I am at a loss and desperately need help! I am not very computer illiterate when it comes to the this type of technical part of a computer. I follow directions well and am eager for some help to get my computer fixed soon! I hope I have given enough info for someone to be able to help me fix my computer if at all possible!

    - disk cleanup - how do I restore the changes made? Help! While doing a disk cleanup, I checked only the files that disk cleanup suggested were safe to do. Once I started it it however the following exact message appeared: "Files that are required by Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your now." Assuming they meant the Windows XP disk that came with my HP laptop (an upgrade disk) I inserted that. I was told that the cd I inserted was the wrong cd. That was the only cd HP shipped with my computer almost a year ago! Can someone PLEASE tell me how to restore the files that Disk Cleanup cleaned without using that disk?

I set both machines up with the same user ID and password. Both are members of WORKGROUP. Both of these machines are at home and are connected to the same router. A used to be on a domain but I removed it. I shared the C: drive on A as net share cdrive=c:\. That succeeds. I can use the share from B as net use g: \\A\cdrive. That also succeeds. Now, on B, I can dir g:\ and see all of the foldeers on A - but strangely, no files. If I try a dir g:\afolder, I get access denied.

    - XP performance deteriorating I've been (or rather my main development workstation has been) suffering from a constantly degrading performance for about a year now. It's as if performace decreases with 5 to 10% each month. I primarily use Visual Studio 2005 on this machine. I have an additional "backup" VS2005 setup in a VMWare virtual PC on an external (USB) harddisk as well, where I keep copies of my sources in case something goes wrong with the "real" machine. Both setups are XP SP2, both current with updates, etc.. Now the funny thing is, you would expect that on the same hardware, the "real" instance of Visual Studio would run (at least) slightly better than the one in the virtual machine. Exactly the opposite is true here on my system: VStudio runs almost THREE TIMES faster in the virtual machine than it does directly on the host. Starting Visual Studio on the host takes 65 seconds (worst case, it's much faster when it has already been run and all files are still boing cached). Starting it in the virtual machine takes 20 to 25 seconds, under the same conditions (actually, the time of 25 seconds was measured immediately after a "cold boot" of the VM, and of course the VM's virtual harddisk wasn't being cached in RAM by the real OS because it hadn't been run yet). The host has a single core 3.2 GHz processor with hyperthreading and 2GB of RAM, and nothing else is running when VS is started there that isn't also running when VS is started in the VM. The virtual machine is configured with 512M of RAM, and runs on the same hardware for the rest (except it's physically on an external USB disk, versus internal SATA in the other case).

    - Problem after undoing restoration I did a system restore, but it didn't solve the prblem, so I undid the restoration. Now I can't use any restore points at all, even points created after the restore/undo operation. I've read a few threads that this can possibly be fixed by turning the service off and restarting it, but I really want to get back to an earlier date. Is there any other fix that will preserve existing restore points? Thanks. Tag: Java 6.5 will not install Tag: 227060

    - XP bad Windows XP barely runs after installing SP2 and the 72 windows updates that went along with it. I have been attempting to install SP2 for the last 2 years with the same results. I always assumed it was because of a lack of RAM (I had 1GB) and lack of disk space (my C drive is at 50% capacity). When I run a system restore, my computer still lags a little bit, but is fully functional. After installing SP2 it is mostly unusable. I am running and/or have installed the following since the SP2 install with no apparent difference in performance: WinXP Home v.2002 Pentium 4 2.8GHz 2GB Ram (I just added 1GB)(when I go to system properties, it does not always show this information. It reads: Computer: [Blank space]. C drive shows at least 50% free space Zone Alarm Pro w/up to date definitions IE7 firewall enabled Updated BIOS Updated DivX controls HD Tune showed no major problems Ad Aware full scan in both normal and Safe Mode showed no problems As recommended by DataDoctors: SpywareGuard and SpywareBlaster System Mechanic showed no major issues that were left unresolved Running a Seagate 750GB USB ext. HD (I have run the above without it with no apparent change in performance).

Computer works fine in Safe Mode. I am a little unclear about when I should change my system restore settings and how I can delete old ones without wiping all of them out. Thank you for any help!

    - Looking for Windows backup prog with a catch I am looking for a backup program for Windows XP that can back up mapped network drives to a physically attached tape library. There are some catches: - it must be able to perform incremental backups - the built-in backup program can, but it doesn't seem to consider date/time stamp, thus incremental backups really become fulls - no special service, agent, or other software to be installed on the hosts to be mounted and backed up - the backup program must be self- contained, as is the built-in Win XP backup program. Thanks for any leads. Tag: Java 6.5 will not install Tag: 227045

    - Win XP requests Activation with no hardware change....Help Win XP Pro SP2. Retail package. A week ago I had a motherboard fail and eventually got it all working again with all new bits. It asked naturally for activation and I did this in a few seconds over the internet. The last week has been spent getting everthing sorted and a few hours ago I disconected my Lan card in the Bios to check something. On re boot, XP requested activation although the computer case was not opened. Now what do I do.......I don't want to activate online and use up my numbers in case they are needed in the future.

    - missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE As the subject says, this was the error message I was being shown when my computer failed to load. I went and brought a new hard drive to help solve the problem. I installed XP on the new hard drive and updated it and so on, I then connected the old hard drive as a slave to see if I could retrieve my files. The problem I'm having is that I cant open my old user folder, its says access denied. I think its because I had a password and made my folders private. Is there any way around this? I really need to retrieve all my old files and documents. I had a look on here and searched for "hive file missing" and made it to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B307545 I followed what it said so that I could use Guided Help on another computer (my old hard drive). To try and get it up and running again so I could gain access to my files. I saved everything to a flash drive so that I could use it in the recovery console. Basically, I've made it as far as running the "batch regcopy1.txt" file and then restarted the computer. It said to log on as the administrator and run the Guided Help.exe file. The problem is I cant log on as the admin, its created a new user called Owner and I cant run anything. Can anyone help me out with this? Is it possible to remove the Owner account so that I can log in with my original one? Or is it possible to gain access to my old user folder whilst using the hard drive as a slave? Thank you!
