    - NAS not showing in Network Places I have a Synology Diskstation NAS (Network Attached Storage) hooked up to my network. 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: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807717

    - SP2 Install Failure Have received Installation Failure Code 0x8007F01E. I am not able to find this error in the Windows Update error listing. I am finally (at long last) trying to upadte my VAIO PCV-RX550 XP Home SP1. The biggest move was to finally install SP2. I had been reluctant to do so over the past couple of years due to hearing about so many problemw. It is critical for me to do so now because most anti-virus programs will not run without it and my computer is currently in a compromised situation. If anyone can assist me with this error I would be grateful! lisalou Tag: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807704

    - Black-screen and deactivate OS? After (interupted?) merger of 2 part. wiht P. Magic didnt XP boot. I found in W2000 my XP.-part wasnt active so it got activated, then no OS started in that PC. Can it be deactivated without an OS? That PC starts with Compaq, then get black with a small twinkle up to the left. Install repair is run on W2k and doesnt work in Xp. Chkdsk /r, Bootcfg rebuild, fixboot and fixmbr is run. A new Os is installed on another part. Nothing helped so far but all content seem to be in place. Old threads and seek gives me no new ideas so far. Can anything get lost running new OS's over the old ones, or any other suggestions to repair what I got?

    - 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: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807691

    - My Computer and USB Storage Devices Recently, my USB port was registering F drive. Then it grabbed onto the G: drive which is my project drive on the server. 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. Hopefully, this is a easy fix. The portable storage works on other computers in the network, just not mine anymore. UGH!

    - 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: I don't want Video Thumbnails 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.

    - 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: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807664

    - Funny Story Funny Story. Add or Remove programs simply stopped showing anything in its programs list. Just blank. No message saying it would take a few minutes to populate the list. Nothing. Changed sort options to see if I could wake it up. NADA. It cycled like it thought it was changing the sort order of a populated list of nothing. Very odd. I tried restarting several times, like 5 I think. NADA. Still no programs in the list. So, thinks I, better get my butt onto an XP newsgroup and see what is to be said about this. So I did. I even dillegently read through all the recent entries to see if someone posted something abou this and SP3. No entries. So I opened this very entry that I am typing in right now. I decided to give it one more try and BAM it works. Just like taking your car to the mechanic and the noise goes away. Tag: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807650

    - 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!

    - UPHClean and Problematic Profile Hi all, I have a PC that is showing up errors 1500, Warning 1527 and Warning 1524 in Event Viewer using a different Profile on the same PC. An error* message comes up on the PC when I try to load the problematic Profile. I read on the Internet and also on MS technet site that I need to install UPHClean on the PC to either cure or help troubleshoot the Profile problem. 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? I have been look up the net and haven't found any instruction on how I should use UPHClean besides installing it.

    - 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?

    - Iexplorer and Windows Explorer will not open Hi, A friend's computer will not open Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer. There is no error message. The hourglass comes up, then disappears. He is running XP, but I don't know if it is home version or professional. I think it has SP2 on it. The machine is probably 8 years old. It was working fine, then he turned it off for a week. The machine loaded some MacAfee and Windows Updates when he turned it on. Will a system restore work? I had him go to: Start - Run then typing in - 'iexplore about:blank' He got a message that iexplore could not be found or something like that. I also tried opening internet explorer without add-ons, going to Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Internet Explorer (No Add-ons), but the option for No Add-ons was not there. He only had Internet Explorer in there and it did not open. I tried to search for the ie.inf file using Start - Search, but the search window did not open. I tried to Open Windows Explorer from Start - All Programs - Accessories - Windows Explorer, but it did not open and no error message. I also tried the keyboard command of "Windows+E" with the same result. His Outlook Express is still woking and he is able to get his messages off the Internet Service Provider's Server. He called his ISP and they had him run something that asked for the XP Home Edition CD. He got the machine from a friend and does not have the CD. I have a Windows Professional XP CD. Will the professional one work? Sorry for the lengthy post. I know enough not to play with the registry or rename files randomly. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

'Hi everyone, Boot problem, new motherboard and psu, now it gets are as loading drivers in Safe Mode mup.sys then restarts. Windows XP Home. Replaced the motherboard with a very similar motherboard but from a different manufacturer, it has the same main chipset on it. Also, using the same cpu/ram/hdd/cd so no other hardware change except for the motherboard and psu. Problem: Select normal boot and system will get as far as blackscreen where it *should* load the XP loading screen but it doesn't get that far, instead if restarts. Safe Mode - F8 - Gets as far as loading the drivers, about 25 are being loaded, and then it always stops on MUP.SYS. Everytime. Not sure if it's MUP.SYS that has problem, or the thing after it. I don't have a win xp home cd, just an xp pro cd. A bit stuck here. I did try loading up XP Pro temporarily on a seperate folder so that I could get to the hard drive using Explorer and see if any files were corrupt, or try to do some maintenance from inside XP Pro, but I'm a bit stuck now. I also tried to do some repair using the XP Pro cd before I installed XP Pro, but that didn't seem to help. Please can you help? Tag: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807564

    - Keyboard/Mouse Freeze after Fresh Install I have some brand new desktops that I am making a dual boot for each system with Linux and Windows. On 1 system, I am having an issue with the USB keyboard and mouse in Windows only. Linux is working perfectly. During the fresh Windows install which includes formating the partition with the supplied XP SP2 CD, everything is fine. I installed the needed software, and driver and rebooted windows. Then the mouse and keyboard freeze after the automtic login of the user created during the install. I have used the same software (i.e. scanner and printer drivers etc...) on the other systems and the drivers for the hardware (NIC, video card etc...) are off the cd that was supplied with the system so a virus should not be an issue. The bios, usb ports and other hardware should be fine because Linux is running like a champ. The other desktop systems, which are identical, work with Linux and Windows with no issues. Any ideas what is causing this issue Tag: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807563

    - Can browse files in Explorer, can't in Office (word\excel) Greetings. I am trying to solve a mystery and maybe someone has seen this before. Computers - XP/SP2 with all patches, Office2003/SP2 I have 2 people in my orginization that can use Windows Explorer to view files on multiple mapped drives with no issues When they use File, Open in Word or Excel, the computer stops responding and the customers have to Task Manager to close Word or Excel. If they double click a file in windows Explorer, the file willl open with no issues. Not sure what could be casuing this behavior. There is nothing in error or application logs that provides any clue. Has anyone seen this before? Tag: I don't want Video Thumbnails Tag: 807558
