    - Chkdsk doesn't find bad sectors in unused space I know that Chkdsk /r is supposed to locate and repair bad sectors, but I have discovered that it only does so on the parts of the hard drive that contain data. I have a few old crappy hard drives with known bad sectors on them that I used for this test. Using an IDE to USB adapter, I formatted the drives as fat32 and ran Chkdsk on my XP machine...no errors. I moved the drives to a Windows 98 machine and ran Scandisk...bingo, it found bad sectors. Next, I re-formatted the drives and put them back on my XP machine. As before, Chkdsk did not find any bad sectors. However after I copied test data to the drive, Chkdsk found the same number of errors that Win98's Scandisk did. Obviously, Chkdsk does not find bad sectors on a drive unless data has already been written there...which in my opinion is kinda stupid. :-/ Long story short, is there another disk diagnostic program I can use that properly scans an entire disk, just like Win98's old Scandisk program used to? A previous thread mentioned SpinRite. Would that do a better job than Chkdsk for locating bad sectors over the entire disk (even in unused space)? Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802941

    - Action to be taken when something plugs into USB port Whenever I plugged my MP3 player into a USB port a message box popped up asking me what action to take. I normally select "no action" and carry on. The last time I decided to select"no action" & tick the "always take the same action" box. As I did it I must have moved the mouse and now every time I plug the MP3 player in my "Sonic" program opens up. How can I reverse this please? Is there an ini file or something I need to alter?

    - Salvage Win98 files on old PC to XP PC? I have an old PC with Windows 98 OS that has 'died'. I can't boot it up; prior to full failure the CD ROM drive failed, then the floppy drive failed. Now Windows won't boot up at all. I THINK there are a few files on the old hard drive that I would like to access (old emails). I am currently using another PC with Windows XP Home, SP2. Is there a way I can hook up the old hard drive to the XP PC? Will XP be able to read the drive and files? I'd rather not try to install the old hard drive in the XP PC, if possible. Is there some sort of technical gadget that will let me hook up the old hard drive via USB? Also, is it possible that the old hard drive could be infected with a virus? I've always wondered why the whole PC slowly lost one component at a time until it was dead. Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802903

    - Cluster size problem I converted a drive from FAT32 to NTFS and ended up with 512 byte clusters. I did not know this was a problem until reading posts on this list and by then it was too late. What can I do now? I tried using Acronis True Image to copy the partition (C:) to another drive (D:), but ended up with 512KB clusters there as well. I tried formatting D: with 4KB clusters and copying all the files using robocopy, but some files that were in use did not get copied and I can't boot to the new drive. What else can I try to get a bootable drive with 4KB clusters. Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802891

    - Windows will not start I was having tons of lockup and blue screen errors. I tried to troubleshoot and run multiple diagnostics - to no avail. In frustration I transferred all files and folders to my second drove and then performed a new install of XP on my primary drive. As I was bring files back into the C drive I started having lockups. I continued to bring back files. Eventually the system locked up - I could not clear so I powered down manually. Now the system will not come back up saying that the services.exe and lsass.exe failed to intialize properly ( it shows to errors for each of the .exe files). I opened up the recovery console. I ran fixboot and ran chkdsk. System locked up in checkdsk. I tried to make copies of special boot disk - nothing works. Can anyone help me get this beast opened?? -- FOLEYBA Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802889

    - Password Request - New Last night, a dialog box appeared that indicated that Windows detected a corrupt file, and that I should run the CHKDSK utility. I either clicked OK, and the system started re-booting, or I may have restarted the computer after clicking OK. Regardless, after a series of delete and repair messages, the logon screen showed up, but regardless of which icon I now click on, it now requests a password. We never established any passwords since this is our home computer, and we have been using it for three or four years. At this point, we are totally locked out of our computer. How do we eliminate the password requirement? Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802862

    - diskpart in Recovery Console doesn't allow activation of partition Dear all, My XP PC is not booting ("no bootable device" or something similar). I would like to found out which partition is considered as active since I suspect there is no active partition at the moment due to an error I made on the Disk Management Console before rebooting. However, using the Recovery Console from the XP disk, the utility diskpart does not seem to allow anything more than the creation and deletion of new partitions. It seems to have a very different functionality to the utility accessible from Windows. Is there any other way therefore to check which partition is active?

    - CPU running high My cpu randomly begins to run high, sometimes at 100% for no apparent reason. At least none that I can see. It causes extreme slowdown on my machine sometimes causing webpages to take up to 7 minutes to open or close. There is no "regular" time for this, it just happens even after i clean up, defrag, etc. I have to sometimes shut down my PC by holding down the power button or wait 10 minutes for the menu to open.

    - HELP - Lost data after reinstalling XP My laptop is a DELL Inspiron 6000. OS : XP Home edition. During boot I got the error message : "No master boot sector found" or something similar. After several attempts I decided to reinstall the OS (XP Pro, from an old CD, as Dell did not give me a Windows CD), as I had done in the past on another PC, believing it would keep my application programs and data. Unfortunately that did not happen, as i found myself with a bare-bones OS and no trace whatsoever of other data on the HD. Can I recover the old data ? I downloaded a couple of utilities but they are hard to manage and no appreciable results were obtained. Can someone please help ? I am in a terrible fix, as I use the laptop for my work. I had all my invoices stored there, along with clients' data and emails, three-years-worth of stuff. Thanks in advance. Mike Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802814

    - Freeze My XP Home edition with SP2 on a Compaq Presario desktop will freeze on occasion; sometimes during startup at the XP screen, sometimes on standby. It's quite random, and rarely at the same exact spot. Pressing ctr-alt-del does nothing. It's been suggested that the computer might be overheating, so I cleaned the dust out of the case and made sure that all three fans are operating, but it did not cure the hang/freeze problem. I also shut down screen savers and auto standby functions, and disabled all unnecessary startup programs/processes, to no avail. Any other ideas out there?

    - Neeed help with a "windows - sysytem error"...Thank you Hello, Hope someone can help me out. I keep getting an error popping on the screen. It is a small gray box with a red circle with an "x" in it. The title of it is; "Windows- System error" and the error in the box is; "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API." My PC specs are ass follow; AMD X2 processor, 2 Gig of Ram, Nvidia graphic card and runs XP pro. Not much installed on the PC, a couple of small programs for work, windows office and I use Firefox extensively for work as well. BTW, I reinstalled windows twice recently and I keep getting that error even after the fresh install. The main problem is that if I get the error while I am logged off the system, I can't get back in, I have to shut the PC off manually to be able to log back in. If I get the error while I am in windows, I can simply close the error window and keep on doing what I am doing. Thank you very much in advance. Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802806

    - Should I use KB909095 to fix hibernate problem I have had two laptops now which have failed to hibernate properly because of 2Gb or more of RAM. The first is nearly four years old and I applied KB909095 to it and that fixed the problem. My latest laptop only a few months old has 4GB of RAM and is now suffering the same problem. I resisted applying KB909095 because the EXEs in question appear to have been replaced by later versions. However I know there are different services branches also, so not sure whether one is really an update of the other. Does anyone know if its safe to apply the hotfix now given the newer versions of files already installed? I really would like to sort this out on my new laptop as it fails to hibernate everytime I try at the moment after a couple of hours using it. Thanks Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802768

    - Sound, Video, Game controllers (Drivers) Hi guys, I have a Dell Dimension 8200 running Windows XP Pro SP2 with a TBS Santa Cruz Sound card. It is working perfectly until I bought and installed a Logictech Orbit AF webcam. During installation, it screwed up my sound drivers rendering my PC without sound. When I checked the device manager, the device drivers have yellow exclamtion marks on them and the device status have code 39. I have reinstalled the latest driver for this sound card and reinstalled the drivers but XP won't let me saying that it cannot find a driver better than I currently have. To make matters worse, the Dell technician I called uninstalled the other lines as well such as Audio codecs, video codecs, legacy, etc. None of my restore points work. I suspect that the registry has something to do with the new drivers not being reinstalled. Can you guys suggest something to bring back the sound to my PC along with the XP audio and video codecs short of reinstalling Windows XP? Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Windows update causes printer to stop working correctly Fresh install of windows on a newly formatted hard-drive, always results in this same thing: I install Windows XP Pro on a newly formatted hard-drive, and attach the computer the the network's printer using the [Printers and Faxes] dialogbox. Everything (including printing) works fine before I do any Windows updates. Then I do all the windows updates (including SP2) and test again, now, the print dialogbox, takes 45 seconds (instead of about 1 second) to come up when the [print] menu item is selected, and the print job takes 45 seconds (instead of about 1 second) to begin printing after the [print] button of the print dialogbox is pressed. I have tried this same sequence over-and-over many times for the last six weeks. I always start with a newly formatted hard-drive and a fresh install of Windows XP Pro. What could be causing this?

    - Notification area: right-click on an icon also brings up taskbar m Hello, I've had this bug for ages but sometimes, like now, I trawl the internet in the hope of finding one solitary person who has the same problem .... as always I've failed in my searches, so I'm trying here. Essentially, the problem is, with some applications' icons in the notification area, when I right-click on it to access its context menu, sometimes the context menu also comes up for the windows taskbar. Almost as if the cursor is partly 'mis-aiming' on where it is clicking. Something I've noticed about this behaviour, seemingly consistently, is that the 'double menu' problem does not happen if first i left-click on the blue area of the taskbar. If however I first left-click on the desktop for example, the problem happens. The problem is inconsistent by the way, sometimes it happens and other times not. For reference, I'm currently using a new XP Home install of only a few days, fully up to date, except I haven't installed IE7 or the cumulative IE6 security update which creates the annoying 'click here' glass/window over active browser items such as flash. Maybe ironically, the only way I previously found to stop this unwanted 'double menu' behaviour, was as a side effect of running Regseeker and letting it delete every 'un-necessary' entry that it found. So, any ideas how I can stop this small but annoying bug? Thanks a lot, Lee in England Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802753

    - Favorites and how to get in alphabetical order? Hi there, I recently moved some favorites from one user to another on the same computer. My question is how come most of them are in alphabetical order now except after the Z, there are several recent favorites that I have made. How can I make those at the bottom of the list become incorporated into the alphabetical order? Thanks ! --Sytkeepr Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802750

    - Syskey created.. and floppy went bad.. can't get on my computer! Windows XP Pro When I first got my computer, I enabled the "Syskey" option, which requires a certain floppy disk to be in my computer when it started up to let it start up. It has always come up to a screen while starting up that said "This computer has been configured to require a disk to be present during startup. Please insert the disk and press OK." For some reason, the computer doesn't recognize my disk, and when I put it in and click OK, it says "The Startup Key File has been damaged. Please contact your system administrator" Is there any way to get around this screen now? I tried safe mode, but it still comes up.. -- x4words Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802746

    - MS Windows Searcy Indexer problems For the past few weeks I've had an on-going set of problems with my MS Windows Search Indexer. The Microsoft Windows Search Indexer error pop-up window keeps opening, mostly when I'm trying to use Outlook, but it happens in other situations occasionally. I checked Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel and find no entry for Microsoft Windows Search Indexer. There is an entry for Windows Desktop Search, but as I understand, this is a totally separate program. Device Manager shows no ? or ! marks on any of the entries. Apparently everything is working right as far as Device Manager can tell. In addition to this, something keeps changing my MIDI settings such that my Pizzicato Music software goes mute. I have been able to get the MIDI sound back on by tinkering around with the Control Panel Sound settings and with the corresponding settings in my Pizzicato Music software, but the problem usually recurs within a day or so. It seems to happen when I've had a spate of Indexer error messages. My computer specifics; Home built using a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB RAM, two 1GB memory sticks. Running MS Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed. The hard drive is a Western Digital 500 GB with only about 100GB in use...400GB free. Tag: Window Xp Shutting down Problem Tag: 802744

    - Microsoft Request to Remember Login Microsoft's request to remember my Login appears on some of my Login web pages after entering the Login info for the first time. It then auto completes Login info in the future on that web page (as it's suppose to). But on other Login web pages, the Microsoft request to remember my Login never appears. Is there some way of making it appear or manually getting Microsoft to remember a web page Login? Does the web page itself determine whether or not Microsoft will offer to remember the Login info? Some web page Login's have a "remember me" box which I usually check, but doesn't seem to have any effect on whether or not the Microsoft request to remember my Login appears or wether the login is remembered.

    - Excel won't open I cant seem to get my excel files to open from anywhere other than from within the program. It seemed to happen ( maybe coincidently) after a Norton update. It's a pain to have to leave a window, go to EXCEL to browse and find a file ...is there a setting I should change that might have been altered during a Norton upgrade?
