    - XP cant see 2nd drive My daughters old Dell 8200 desktop quit - we dont know what happened but we suspect she left it on during a thunderstorm and perhaps there was a tremendous jolt that the surge protector couldn't handle - not sure though. The original symptom was 'it's dead' - no fan, no hum, no beep, no led, no boot to bios, nothing at all...dead. My suspicion was the psuu so i connected a known good one which provided power to the mb (fan worked but still no beeps, no booting, no anything). So then I reseated all the cards and all the memory sticks. Nothing. I exchanged the display card. Nothing.Removed the heatsink and reseated the cpu . Nothing. We accepted that the computer is probabbly toast but wanted to try and recover some data Then I took the hard drive (an old 40gb ATA) out and installed it in another computer as a second (slave) drive. It was tough to get the machine to boot but I moved the master/slave jumpers around a little on both hd 's and eventually got past the bios etc to Windows. * Problem is that this 2nd hard drive isnt seen by windows XP although it IS seen in the Bios. I've tried via My Computer , Windows Explorer , device manager). I guess usually one has to format it to be seen but of course I cant do that if 1.) i want the data and 2) windows doesnt find it Is there a solution? Alternatively I thought of maybe buying an enclosure and trying to read it via a USB connection as an external.

    - Windows Hangs on Start Up I have done all but System Recovery on my Computer. DOS seems to load fine but Windows seems to hang on the title screen with the working bar under the Windows XP Logo. It hangs on starting Safe Mode also. Occasionally it will finally load in Safe mode but I have not been able to get it load normally even after leaving it working all night. I am trying to save some files but I had them on the desktop and can not find the files when hooking the hard drive up to a USB Cable and another computer. Any suggestions before I do a complete recovery? Tag: POint32.exe is now showing up in 3 to 6 place with CPU sort in Task Tag: 818307

    - Problem editing Registry Win XP Professional (SP3) - using administrator account Running: Avast antivirus ZoneAlarm free Firewall Spy Bot Search & Destroy (without Tea-timer add-on). Last year, I installed a PCMCIA card reader. My first attempt to install the hardware failed and produced an error message that the device "might not work properly". Fortunately, a subsequent installation succeeded. However, the initial failure left the following residual entries in the Registry: HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\PCMCIA\MTD-0002\1 and at HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\PCMCIA\MTD-0002\1 (Default) REG_SZ (value not set) Capabilities REG_DWORD 0x00000014 (20) CompatibleIDs REG_MULTISZ ConfligFlags REG_DWORD 0x00000040 (64) DeviceDesc REG_SZ PCMCIA MTD-0002 HardwareID REG_MULTI_SZ PCMCIA\MTD-0002 PCMCIA\MTD-0002 Device Manager does not show an MTD-0002 device, so I cannot uninstall or delete all references to this hardware via Device Manger. I attempted to remove these entries from the Registry and received an error message; "Error Deleting Key, Cannot Delete 1; Error while deleting key." The Registry also includes references to the another non-existent device. HKLM\SYSTEM\Controlset001\Enum\USB\Vid_0000&Pid_0001\[Long List of numbers] and HKLM\SYSTEM\Controlset003\Enum\USB\Vid_0000&Pid_0001\[Long List of numbers] CompatibleIds REG_MULTI_SZ USB\UNKNOWN LocationInformation USB Device My attempt to delete these entries produced the same error message.

    - Win XP won't boot - Locked from Recov Console Hello all. My problems first started when I restarted and my computer said C:/windows/system32/config/system is missing or corrupt and it wouldn't load up. I Went to recovery console and renamed all of them to .bak and moved them to a tmp folder, then I went to the repair folder and copied those to the config folder. I Rebooted and got the "Your computer failed to start successfully blah blah" and get safe mode, last good config (doesn't work) and normal. I go to normal and get the win xp loading screen but after that it just stays black. If I try any safe mode options, it stays hanging in agp40.sys. After that, I try going to recovery console again and my password isn't recognized! It used to be blank and now it doesn't work. I tried the offline nt password recover method but when it says it loads the SAM and Sofyware and System, I go to edit them but then it gives me with "ERROR: SAM hive not loaded!" or "Software hive not loaded and that is where recovery console settings are..." Now I'm stuck, my laptop won't load at all, and I can't access the recovery console! I heard that this problem might be fixed in an SP1 version, but I only have a regular windows xp recovery console cd, is that the problem? If I slipstream sp1+ to it will it be fixed? I found the XP home SP2 boot disks but my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive... so I'm stuck! Someone please help. Thank you!

    - Reinstalling Windows XP Home Edition I need to reinstall Windows XP on my mother's computer. However, she cannot find her disk. Is it true that I can use my Windows XP disk, and just enter her code?? Also, what do I do when I try to reinstall windows and I get a message saying that my product code is invalid?

    - Desktop Theme not sticking I have a windows XP machine with Service pack 2 installed.

When I shut down the computer and re-boot it comes back in a modified windows classic gray theme with the XP start menu (two columns in gray) I can change the theme back using the display properties dialog after the machine boots up, but the choice does not save.

    - HELP - Screen Display Problem This morning, for some unknown reason, it looks like the display on my monitor has shifted slightly to the right. If I'm on full screen display: the X on the top right corner is not visible; if there is a slider bar on the right side, it's not visible either. I tied all available options for display resolution and font size, but nothing. In order to see it all, I have to redice the screen size, move it so the top left corner and expand it from the bottom right corner until it's as full as the display. I have a feeling that the fix is simple, I just can't figure it out, any suggesstions? Tag: POint32.exe is now showing up in 3 to 6 place with CPU sort in Task Tag: 818200

    - Windows Update Install I'm running XP Pro SP3. When I open IE (I usually use SeaMonkey for browsing) and go to the Windows Update page it says it needs to install software. I select the Custom option but it still wants to install Windows Genuine Advantage, which, if I recall, is not a good thing. (I used to use WindizUpdate but that's no longer available.) Should I let it install the WGA and then uninstall it later, or leave it on? Or, better yet, is there another option to get the necessary updates? Thanks for any help.

    - Hidden device "Beep" Some time ago togglekeys stopped beeping when I pressed "Caps Lock". My own programs, calling the "Beep" function stopped beeping. These beeps had been coming from the system speaker (my soundcard and PC speakers are woring pefectly, thank you, I'm listening to Max Bruch as I type). The speaker that beeps when you turn on the PC with bad memory installed. The little one inside the case. The one that *still* beeps if you annoy the BIOS program... I just found the hidden, non-plug and play device "beep" is disabled. I tried to enable it: "Windows was not able to enable this device" No Google hits on: beep "Windows was not able to enable this device So, should I try the standard technique for such devices?

    - Missing Automatic Updates tab in System Properties As the subject line states, I have a PC running Windows XP SP2 that does not have an "Automatic Updates" tab in the "System Properties" window displayed when Right-Clicking on "My Computer" and selecting the "Properties" from the context menu.

I have scanned the system for viruses, malware, and rootkits. Nothing untoward was detected. Several Microsoft KB's reference this and address by way of Group Policy settings and such. System is not a domain PC. Noting has restored this tabbed entry in the System Properties. Before I reinstall the OS, are there any additional ideas to try? Thanks in advance.

    - Strange Alphabetical Format Appeared in My Documents Last week, out of the blue, when I opened up My Documents to save a doc, it appeared with a alphabetical heading in a list format. A had all my folders/docs starting with "A," and on down the alphabet. I nearly flipped out. In all my years on the computer that has never appeared. It was nearly arranged but not from anything I did. I shut down, opened up again, ran everything I could think of include One Care, and Penicillin's free scan - nothing at all showed up. What was this (it's gone now)? XP PRO, IE 6, SR2 (then); Office 2003, AdAware, Avast, Windows Defender on, no temp. internet files at the time.

    - Can SEND but Cannot RECEIVE in Outlook Express and Outlook I have three email addresses I use. They are all located on a Windows Server 2003 running SMTP and POP3 (NOT Exchange). All three accounts are identical in their setup.... use WPA and require authentication. I can send/receive fine from one account. The other two will send but not receive and there is no error message. This is true for both Outlook Express that came with XP and for Outlook 2000 which is my primary email client. If I set the accounts up an another box in my office, they send/receive fine. It seems to be just my XP notebook (SP2) that will not pick up mail from two of the three accounts. I have removed/reinstalled SMTP and POP3 on the Server. I had run ipconfig /flushdns multiple times on my XP notebook. I have removed and add the accounts multiple times in both Outlook and Outlook Express. Nothing. Will send find but will not pick up message showing in the POP3 mailboxes on the server from this machine.

They couldn't reset the password and had me delete the network and make a new one. Ever since then I have been having this problem. Problem: Cannot connect to the internet in any form. Receive error "Network Provided Invalid IP Address" Other computers in the house can connect to the internet and one is hardwired to the router.

    - Login password I would like to turn OFF the password requirement when booting up my computer, but in the "User Accounts" dialogue box, the checkbox "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete" is grayed out (and checked). This computer was set up in a domain; I used it in my former job, and the IT person set it up to work on that company's network. I now use it for home use, and I hate having to enter my password every time it goes into sleep or hibernate mode. The computer is a Compaq nx6110, running XP Pro.

    - Lost use of the Alt-w shortcut Hi, I recently lost use of the Alt-w shortcut. The problem happens (or rather, nothing happens) in office applications and in other windows applications. It is not a keyboard failure; I use a laptop and I have the same problem with the laptop's keyboard and with an external one. The problem went away, but came it back a few days later. Any suggestions? Gabriel PS: I had posted the same question to another windowsxp group. The advice I received was to use Ssytem Restore. I would like to know where these settings are stored and/or changed so I know what to do if the problem happens again.

It goes through a lengthy process then, after shutting down, a window reports they didn't install, those being Security updates for Word 2003, and Power Point, KB948988, 821598, and 954464.

    - XP won't boot I am running XP on an Acer Aspire ASE-360 desktop. I can only boot up in Safe Mode. When I try to boot normally, it will go through the XP startup screen and then the screen blanks for a second as normal. The green "acer" screen appears and it freezes there. The only way to go anywhere from there is to power down with the power button and start the boot process again. I've tried all the steps in the Help files with the exception of reloading Windows. I don't have a Windows XP disk, just the recovery CD's made after I purchased the computer. Is there a way to load one file at a time during the boot process to see which file is not loading correctly? Please help!

    - Fax service: Stopping... deleted... dead. I was having problems with the Fax Console, which I traced to the Fax Service being in "stopping" state (for days; I'm sure glad the brakes on my car are better than that). So I thought "Right! I'll stop you!" and I promptly uninstalled the "Fax Services" in add/remove programs. Then I tried to add it back in, and it couldn't find the files. I could find them, but every time I found a file, it just said it couldn't find it (where I'd just SEEN it). Then I noticed that on each attempt, it was stopping at a different file. So I kept adding "Fax Services". About 40 times in all. Then it reached "Configuring Fax Services" and ended with no errors. That's where I am now. No Fax Service, "Fax Services" in Add/Remove programs unchecked. I can check it till I'm blue in the face, and it completes with no errors, but no progress either. So, does anyone know how I can *really* repair my Fax Services, or failing that, can anyone recommend a reasonable, free, fax send/receive program? -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk Tag: POint32.exe is now showing up in 3 to 6 place with CPU sort in Task Tag: 818127

Hi,

I have noticed over the last 2 weeks that point32.exe has taken a much
higher place in my Task Mgr. When I put the processes into CPU sort
then it is up from 3 to 6 or so. It has a size of 5140K

I do have a Wireless Microsoft Mouse to a Fingerprint USB (I don't use
the Fingerprint as it was too unstable.

Would there be any reason why this came into that position now and not
before?

Thanks
