    - All USB drivers not installing hi i seem to be having problems installing any usb drivers. i am running xp home SP3. i have connected a my webcam to the pc making sure that i installed the webcam suite first. then i get the new hardware wizard which comes up. on this i have tried both options (auto search for drivers & manually select driver location). windows then looks for the drivers in either case trying to install them but it just stays on that screen n does not progress to install the drivers. i have left it on for several hours & still no joy. tried different usb ports also. i have found that if i run windows in safe mode i am able to install all drivers & then reboot the machine to use whatever device i just installed. is there anyway to fix this so that i don't have to keep starting windows on safe mode to install drivers? i look forward to your reply. many thanks mo Tag: Address Bar Tag: 807784

    - Downloading stops for no reason ... Downloading used to be an easy job. However, it's getting more and more difficult. Used to be that whenever I download stuffs, where-ever I downloaded it from, downloading itself poses no problem. I could even download an entire CD-ROM ISO content, over 700MB in size, in one shot. Then things started to degrade. First, it was the download from file-sharing services such as MegaUpload or RapidShare that gave me problems. The download just stops in the middle for no apparent reason. At first I thought it was the ADSL modem or port problem. It wasn't. Then I thought it was the ISP throttling bandwidth. It wasn't either. At the time, downloading from plain-old HTTP or FTP sites were still okay. Only file sharing services such as RapidShare or MegaUpload that gave me headaches. Then, this thing turns uglier. Downloading from regular FTP sites, or even downloading a PDF file as small as 4MB would just stop in the middle. So I thought, hey, it must be the browser. Changed my browser, the problem persisted. Change browser again, hey, the same. At that time, web pages are still okay, even webpages with lots and lots of pictures open fine. Now, things has gone from bad to worse. No matter which browser I use (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Safari, Opera), sometimes the webpage would just load half-way. Click on the "reload" page, the page reloads from scratch ... and stops at half way. Webpages with lots of pictures fair the worst. Pictures loads halfways, some even didn't load. There are all sorts of things that I just can't explain anymore. So now, to all of you with so much experiences ---- What the heck is wrong with my computer ???? I am connecting to the Net via ADSL. Aztech modem. PC is Pentium Duo-Core based. OS is XP Home. 4GB of RAM. 250 GB of Hard Disk. I have scanned my PC with anti-virus softwares up and down, no virus. I have also check the firewall settings. Nothing wrong. Trojans? I dunno. But so far, Norton isn't telling me anything. So to all with so much wonderful experience ---- is there _ANY_ possibility that some settings in my PC has been changed somehow, in causing the downloading problem??? BTW, check the line also. No stoppage, no signal drop. Everything normal. Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with my PC ???? Please, I need your help. Thank you ! Tag: Address Bar Tag: 807760

I have added it to my workgroup, but for some reason it doesn't show up under my Network Places. All other PC's in the network show up fine. I can map drives on the NAS and access it via Start -> Run -> \\NAS_disk (the name of the NAS), and if I use Windows' search function to search for "\\NAS_disk", it is found, and it says it belongs to the right workgroup.

    - Help with System Recovery, please!!! Hi, I was having problems with my computer and tried to do a system restore. It ended up telling me that it couldnâ??t restore it and no changes would be made. I shut down computer and when I turned it on the next day, the icons were huge on the desktop and I couldnâ??t access anything. There was no taskbar and when I did a ctrl alt delete the task mgr came up very large and I was not able to shut the computer down. I turned it off was going to try safe mode but could not access it. Nothing happened when I hit F8 key so finally decided to do a system recovery hitting the F10 key. I was aware that I would go back to factory computer settings and would have do a lot of updates and installs. It went through the process and welcomed me, etc. and then went to Windows XP Home screen and said to wait. So I waited and waited and I am still waiting. It doesnâ??t leave that screen. The hourglass will move if I move the mouse, but otherwise, nothing is happening. I am afraid to turn it off. Can anyone help, please? Thanks, Tag: Address Bar Tag: 807717

    - Easy transfer autostarts on XP PC I transferred what files I needed from my older XP PC to a new Vista machine. Now whenever I boot up my XP PC, the XP PC opens up a folder onto the desktop called "XXX". I can click it closed, but it is a pain to have to do every time I turn that computer on. I tried to locate the program name running msconfig.exe, but could not find it in particular. I also went to "Add/Remove Programs...", found the program, but said that certain other programs I have would/could possibly not run right if I removed the Easy Transfer application...one of which is UPnP. Is there another way to remove the Easy transfer program? Perhaps reverting to an earlier system restore point? Thanks for your help. Tag: Address Bar Tag: 807691

I got the G: drive back to the project files but now the USB ports dont register any drive to access in MY COMPUTER. Thus I can t access or use the USB ports for file transfer. How to I get these temp drives to show up in MY COMPUTER window again. The USB ports are working, so says the Device Manager.................I uninstalled but no luck there.

    - Weird Disk Space Issue I have a strange problem with my ThinkPad T61 running Windows XP Pro. The laptop has a 120 hard drive, the C-Drive is 105 GB where Windows XP is installed and there is 15 GB ThinkPad recovery partition. Here is the problem. The other day I noticed I had only 1.5 GB of free disk space left on the C-Drive. I knew that was impossible. I opened up Windows Explorer for the C-Drive and added up the space used by all the folders and files listed on the root of the C-Drive, including the hidden ones. The total comes to 52 GB being used but Windows says I am using 103.5 GB. I have no idea where the other 51.5 GB is. It is really strange. I have never seen a problem like this before. Anyone have an idea what might be going on here? Thanks for the help. Tag: Address Bar Tag: 807684

    - invallid key while upgrading had to reinstall XP on replacement hd. The computer didn't come w/a install cd so I used an old XP SP1cd from another system. installed it no problem. Its asks for activation so I click to activate and the window says it's already activated. Fine. I insert the original install cd, click upgrade, input the coa key on the side of the machine and hello-invalid key. How can I complete the install and get this properly activated? I know the key is valid because I bought the machine new. Is it because I'm using a SP1 disc from Compac on a HP machine or could it be a non SP or a SP2 key on the sticker? The sticker just says XP home so how do I tell if it is a key for original XP, SP1, or SP2? I've had no problems using this disc on my Dell when I need to reinstall. Tag: Address Bar Tag: 807679

    - Check Disk started with a warning Running WinXP Pro (svc pk2). Upon bootup what appeared to be Check Disk started with a warning the the disk had to be checked because file security identifiers were incorrect or corrupt. It looked like all my sysyem files were checked..... then all the files "security identifer changed to default." After that my system operation was significantly changed. Common features were missing or inoperable: no drag-n-drop files between folders, copy is there but no paste, all files in 'Network Connections' disappeared. I now suspect a virus; but I take exceptional precautions and run multiple protection programs to avoid infection. If this scenario is familiar to anyone, please advise!! Now my question is, can I reload WinXP and "repair" the damage. I thought that you could run install from the command line (with a switch) that would allow an installation to reload over a previous install. Would hate to go bake to scratch. Help.....

    - Windows Explorer Closes Can anyone please help me with Windows (not internet) Explorer? Everytime I view my video folder explorer encounters a problem and closes. It's the same whatever way I try to do it, through my documents, my computer etc. All other folders such as photo's and documents are fine, it's just the video folder. I've tried deleting it and making a new one but still the same. I've run a repair installation of XP, no change. I've tried the following solution: 1. Open command-console (START > RUN > CMD.EXE) 2. enter the command: regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll 3. enter the command: regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll The reason for the crash is a problem with media previews in explorer (explorer calculates a thumbnail view of an image or the first frame of a video file). By disabling this feature (which is useless anyway) explorer stops crashing. I don't want to use this method because it also removes my photo thumbnails and I don't want to have to go through them all individually to find the one I want. If anyone can help with this I will be eternally grateful, it's driving me nuts!! Many thanks Tag: Address Bar Tag: 807664

    - Program groups causing slow boot? I recently did a manual rearrange of the program groups for my username, the only user of the system. I also installed Microsoft Flight Sim X and updated my nVidia video driver around the same time, but I THINK that's coincidental to my problem. What's happening now is whenever I reboot, the system gets to the point where it displays the wallpaper, then appears to just hang for about 10 minutes before displaying the desktop icons!!! Weird, huh? What made me think it might have something to do with the program groups is that I contacted nVidia tech support for help in case it had to do with the driver update, and they asked for a copy of my sysinfo. When I went to generate that .nfo file, it hung for a long time in the program groups section!! HELP!!! This is REALLY annoying whenever I have to reboot! Any ideas or suggestions?? THANKS!

An error* message comes up on the PC when I try to load the problematic Profile.

After installing UPHClean I rebooted the PC and tried to login in the problematic Profile still got the same error* message. I went into a working Profile on the PC and looked in the Event Viewer, I saw the error messages above listed in it. Is there anyway I can get some feedback from the UPHClean on what it thinks are the reason for the error* message below or error at the top of my post? Can it in someway fix the Profile problem?

    - Problem with possible SP3 install Yesterday, Windows notified that updates were ready to be download. There were two update, Defender Update and SP3. I clicked OK to download. After a minute of so, the tray security shield disappeared. After that any attempt to open Windows Explorer resulted in Explorer freezing up. When I used the task manager, my desktop blanked out and when it came back, most of tray icons were MIA. Most if not all MS programs would not run. I tried the shortcuts, the menu and the run line. The more I tried, the worse it got until I had the pull the plug to reboot. The problem remained thru many reboots done mostly via the dropdown shutdown options from the task manager. Then I decided to reboot via the shutdown menu and I noticed the Shut Down Icon had a security shield and a notice that I had shut down to install an important update. Is this SP3? If so why did it begin its install without a notification? Other updates always say Update Are Ready to Install and request permission. I selected Shut Down to install the unidentified important update. Now my computer display is alternating between "Installing Update 1 of 1" and "Don't Unplug or Turn Off you Computer, It will shut down automatically". It's has been like this now for over three hours with no end in sight. The Network Activity light flashes occasionally and there in no detectable hard drive activity. How long should the update take?

Using Windows XP. Had an address bar in the task bar at the bottom of the
desktop where I could type in a web page address and click a green "go"
