    - no items in group policy I tried to turn off CD autoplay. I opened the group police editor and selected "computer configuration/administrative templates/system". There was nothing there. Absolutely nothing. No single item. I played around a little and found that there, too, was nothing in software settings. I noticed earlier that there were only few items in programs/accessories. For example, I had to manually added notepad and calculator to accessories. Is there something wrong with my XP SP2? How to fix it? Tag: usb driver Tag: 190035

    - Dell Vostro 1400 xp pro yesterday need tips and tricks Vostro 1400 xp pro yesterday need tips and tricks I just got this yesterday locked it up 1st time on but it restarted ok. Zero in control panel was a surprise I searched for a hour on Google did anyone else have to click start on this, and get the windows screen you must start zero? Dial up connection will not dial the phone number, window comes up dial on your phone then click ok it worked once but I changed so many settings looking for the modem to dial now the modem will not connect when I dial the phone... any tips? wifi my girl friends compac connects to BIH I get this on my connections too but its secure I need a key but she got in without one far as I know, as she is in Breckenridge skiing I can't find out how she got into a secure connection, it ask me for a key every time. Any tips for secure... keys? Vostro 1400 xp pro yesterday it boots up nicely, I have been using win98se and a Pentium 3 for the last 8 years, so this is light years down range. I did not click on Dell quick fixes just read a message not to let Dell set your start up etc... so if we cant use Dell icon what is the best way to check msconfig without knowing what all the lines on the screen do, if they are junk or not? Also Dell did not send a packing list. No serial # nothing I was thinking I would have to take this to FedEx Kindos and put the laptop on the copier and take a picture of the bottom numbers etc. Is there a better way? One question about a monitor plug in I have a old Dell monitor I bought for $10 and it works can anyone tell me the steps to connect this.. do I plug in the vga plug and turn the Dell Monitor on first before I turn on the Vostro 1400? thanks On can I leave a sd card in all the time? DSL lic for my music tried to open Carly Simon and got the Microsoft lic screen... Can I just copy the cd to the Vostro as I copied the files via an external usb hd? I bought 2 books on xp pro from Amazon. Both used for about $10 each one with a cd. One book is 700 pages grin. So e mail me any good xp pro links you have I'm not going to use Vista for the next 10 years. Got a good deal on the Dell Vostro 1400 $715 on the Outlet Store. My next Dell will be the m6300 $1,200 almost twice as much but could plug this into a 32 inch LCD might be ably to plug the Vostro 1400 into a 32 inch LCD too as it has the GeForce 128 meg card. Anyone try this? Thank Greg Buell Inventor84@att.net Greg Buell http://www.endwaronearth.com Tag: usb driver Tag: 190034

    - RAM Chips and Video Card Hi , Re: RAM Chips and Video Card How do you determine when to purchase more hardware in XP Home? The Kernel Memory shows 54256 total. The Kernel Memory Pages shows 33460 while watching Foxnews Video: http://www.foxnews.com/video2/ The CPU 2.6 Ghz runs up to 75% - 100% most times while watching Video on IE 7.x. How do you determine when you need to add more RAM chips or a Video card? This PRESARIO S5100NX has 512RAM with onboard Video. The taskmgr shows Physical Memory: 515608. When watching VIDEO on IE 7.x the Available memory gets down to 65000. If I buy more hardware, Video Card with 256MB and more RAM; 1024 that should help it. But my main question is by watching TaskMgr how do you know when the Memory is used up so much you need to buy more RAM?

    - XP Sp3 release (change in EULA?) A BIG CONCERN of mine revolves around my current understanding of the DIFFERENCE between Vista's EULA and XP's EULA. VISTA EULA says the ("owner") of the s/w may reassign to another PC only once. XP SP2 EULA ...this does not seem to be stated limitation. Do you all agree with the above? and MORE IMPORTANTLY CAN THIS CHANGE WITH THE RELEASE OF XP SP3? (so that is aligned with the less than friendly VISTA EULA) Tag: usb driver Tag: 190013

    - Product (CD) keys The purpose of a product (CD) key is to ensure a piece of software is legal. CDs are produced en masse so it would be impossible to make every one unique to match its product (CD) key. Would it, therefore, be possible to install, say, Windows XP Professional from any Windows XP Professional CD (of the same 'type') if you had a valid product (CD) key. I am thinking here of a (common) situation where a computer (which has a Windows XP Professional product key sticker) has been passed on without the Windows XP Professional CD. I am asking in respect of the capability of doing so NOT the legality of doing so which is another (complex) area. Regards. Bill Ridgeway Tag: usb driver Tag: 190009

    - computer auto locks At work my computer has been set to automatically lock after a few minutes of inactivity.

    - Underline turning bold I have a 3 line paragraph that needs to be underlined. The last line reads this "Agreement"). Agreement is bold italic. When I underline the entire paragraph the third line of the paragraph (this "Agreement").) turns the underline to bold, while in the rest of the paragraph the underline appears not bold or normal. The funny thing is if you add spaces to the third line of the paragraph the bold comes off the underline. Anybody have an answer to that one? I can send an example if need be. -- Bmctiern Tag: usb driver Tag: 189998

    - One to sink your teeth into As far as I can reason out this problem, it is Windows related. I have a D-Link WBR-2310 router. Two desk-tops computers (both Windows XP SP2) are connected to the router using a cable and D-Link DFE-530 Ethernet cards. I also have a lap-top and a Palm TX PDA, which connect to the router wirelessly. The DSL modem and router are never switched off; the two desk-tops are switched off overnight. The desk-tops, as soon as they are switched on, and the various start-up programs are loaded, are on-line right away (or at least, they used to be). Both immediately load The Weather Network's "Weather Eye" and a mail-checking program (MailWasher Pro) - or, at least, both used to do this. PROBLEM: One of the desk-tops now takes several minutes to go "on-line" from start-up. There appears to be no problem with the modem-router combination, since the other units either are on-line, or immediately go on-line (in case of the PDA). There is no updated driver for the D-Link DFE-530 Ethernet card available - it is a Windows XP included driver. I have un-installed and re-installed the driver using the Device Manager. I have switched ports on the router. My machine is clean (I think). I update SpywareBlaster weekly, I update and run SpyBot S&D and Adaware weekly, I run AVG (free edition) daily. Could my Ethernet card have gone defective? It seems to work great once it kicks in (now, usually several minutes after start-up). My download speed is very good - no changes over the last few years. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated - I'm at the end of my (short) rope. If any details regarding my equipment are significant, and I haven't mentioned them, please ask. Thanks again! _________________________________ Old Enough to know I don't know a thing .... Tag: usb driver Tag: 189997

    - WinXP & SATA Hi I had installed WinXP into a new computer I built (2 G+) and a 250 gb SATA drive. I was inthe process of installing drivers for various programs when the optical drive ceased to function. As far as the computer was concerned, it did not exist! Not in Explorer, not anywhere. I changed the drive - no change. I rebooted the computer AGAIN and the monitor quit. I changed the monitor board and no difference. I tried the monitor on a different computer and it worked fine. Now I have a computer with no access for the monitor. I even changed the Hard drive to a regular one but still noting. Any ideas how to go from here! Thanks. - Daryl Tag: usb driver Tag: 189946

    - Uninstalling Windows Updates I suspect that a Windows update has caused a problem. The various updates are listed in "Add or Remove Programs" I was thinking of reversing all the updates of a particular date to test my suspicion. Would it be possible to uninstall updates (without causing more problems) and would the now missing updates be recognised and re-installed? (I suspect the answer to be "No" to both questions.)

    - Optimize Your Computer and XP for New Users. I see from this site that there are many issues relating to Windows XP. In spite of it all, I have heard that Windows Vista is much more of a nightmare. lol If you are new to computing as well as Windows XP, there are a few things that you could do to make your time on the computer more PLEASANT AND SAFE[/B]! 'OPTIMIZING YOUR COMPUTER' (HTTP://WWW.EASYOPTMYPC.OPTMYPC.COM) FROM THE START AS WELL AS LEARNING SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND STICKING TO A SCHEDULE AS FAR AS THE MAINTENANCE GOES, WILL DO JUST THAT! IT WILL NOT ONLY KEEP YOUR COMPUTER *RUNNING AT PEAK EFFICIENCY*, BUT WILL ALSO *SAFEGUARD* YOUR COMPUTER FROM COLLECTING NASTIES LIKE *ADWARE, SPYWARE, VIRUSES, WORMS, TROJANS AND MORE! Personally I recommend for the average user who is on the computer a couple hours a day, to a schedule like the following: Weekly Virus Scan Biweekly(every 2 weeks) Clean your Registers Defrag your hard drive Monthly Delete any programs, data, music, movies or what have you, that you [b]KNOW* you are not going to use. Doing JUST THIS will help, but there are a ton of other optimization steps you could take that will help you even more! Some of these steps actually make the above NEEDED less often, but I would STILL do them as frequent as mentioned. Wishing you all happy, safe and quick computing.

If you don't know you almost certainly have 32-bit Windows. To be sure, go
to Control Panel>System applet. Look on the System applet's General tab and
you'll see the name of your operating system and its Service Pack level. If
it says 64-bit you have it. If it says only something like "XP Home Service
Pack 2" you have 32-bit.
