    - 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: XP will not start 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.

To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search. I have the 'helpctr.exe' file on my computer, but clicking on leads to this message: Windows cannot open help and support because a system service is not running.

    - 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?

    - Where'd SP 3 Go? I had one of those notices (the little yellow shield icon in my systray)when I booted up today saying that new updates were available for my computer, and the icon's details said it was XP SP3, so I hit the the "download" button and the icon disappeared and nothing downloaded. I rebooted my computer to see if the icon would come back and it didn't. The I went to the normal Microsoft Program Update site and let it check my system for available updates and it only showed the latest Windows Authentication update being available, nothing else.

    - 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.

The only option is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. When I select that it takes me to the Admin login in screen and my troubles start all over again. I can't log in as I'm immediately logged out. It does load my 'preferences' then immediately logs me out. It doesn't matter if I'm in safe mode or normal mode.

    - Boot problem, new motherboard and psu, now it gets are as loading drivers in Safe Mode mup.sys then restarts. '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: XP will not start 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.

    - Win Error 142 in simulation program: Refer.mdb, isinteg.exe Dear News, I am using a so-called 'finite-element' simulation program to study materials. The name of the program is ABAQUS. Occasionally - not always (!) - the computation comes to a grinding halt with error 142: ABAQUS Error: The executable C:\ABAQUS\6.6-3\exec\standard.exe aborted with system error code 142. A discussion within an ABAQUS mailing list come up with: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681382(VS.85).aspx which indicates that error code 142 is associated with a drive problem (ERROR_BUSY_DRIVE). Perhaps this will help you debug things. The error is not listed in the Windows event viewer. Nonetheless, I typed the EventID in the appropriate box on www.eventid.net and got: ...

Comments Ionut Marin (Last update 11/30/2003): As per Microsoft: "This behavior can occur if there is not enough free space on the drive to create the Refer.mdb file".

    - Looking for assistance using MyLogon for XP Hi A while ago, I posted a question and was given a suggestion to use a product called MyLogon, which would allow my 5 XP Home workstations to access a server of sorts--actually all machines are/would be in a peer to peer network where each client has its own sets of files stored on this sort of file server. Well, by the time I got to actually doing the work, the post was purged and, naturally, I am not being able to get the process to work properly. I am able to validate a logon on the client machine but that is not what I had originally wanted. I have not seen a description of what is needed on the Server side to allow Client access. I have set up a User Account with a password on the server for each Client and then provided that User Name with password on the corresponding Client. I have set up a folder for each client in the Shared Folders on the Server. When the client attempts to enter the network password, they are advised that the server is found but the logon has failed. The logon has failed but it is not because the password is incorrect-- I have entered/deleted/added etc to no avail. Again, as I understand it, the user code/password is set up on the client but I do not see details of what is needing to be done on the server side. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    - Beginner's Question: Adding a 2nd Monitor to my XP System Hello I just got a new 22" monitor, which my Nvidia Quadro FX3000 is able to drive without problems (I'm not a gamer - just regular office type applications user). Instead of eBaying my old 17" monitor, I thought maybe I can use it to increase my monitor real estates. The FX3000 video card comes with two DVI ports, so I hooked up the old screen to the second DVI port on the FX3000, but everything just slowed down to a crawl, obviously the card can't handle 2 monitors. Do you think installing a second PCI video card would solve the problem? I don't have any experience building systems so advice is appreciated. Also, would I need to buy any special software for the two video cards to work together? Thanks. Tag: XP will not start Tag: 807540

    - Cleaning up laptop A young lady friend was just given a new laptop for her birthday and she gave me her old Compac 700. It came with the usual stuff that Comapc and Hewlett-Packard pre-install on all their machine and since this old one only has a 40GB hard drive it is already three quarters full. I would like to get rid of everything and leave only the operating system, thus making the machine even "cleaner" than it came out of the factory. Then I would install Open Office Suite and nothing else which will leave me lots of room for personal files. As usual with HP and Compaq, I don't have the actual Windows XP software.

    - Why Does WinXP Keep Installing A Screensaver???? Unfortunately, I've had a handful of occasions now where I've had to reinstall WinXP due to hard drive failure. Each time, and *inevitably* so, WinXP will sooner or later decide to "give" me a screensaver even though I always specify that I want no screensaver. I don't know how it happens, I don't know what triggers it, all I know is that eventually one day my screen is suddenly displaying the MS WinXP logo screensaver without my asking for it.

    - Can't log in thru admin screen I have WIndows XP SP3. I have an admin screen set up, one for guests and one for me which is password protected. As soon as I log into my account with my password or try to use the guiest account, Windows starts to load, I can see the wallpaper, then logs me out (logging off message). I can not get into my computer to access the programs. I;ve booted in safe mode but safe mode has the admin page too and does the same thing. Any ideas short for F-disk? :-) Sue Tag: XP will not start Tag: 807497

    - XP Pro firewall locked. I have a couple of XP Pro machines with this problem. We have a LAN based on SBS 2003. I can ping them successfully but I cannot access their shares. Figuring that there may be a firewall issue, I decided to disable it to see if that made a difference. However the firewall is set to on but all the radio buttons are dimmed. The 'Don't allow exceptions' tick box is available though. It is the only thing that is. Any idea what is happening? When I enter \\WkStn13 into the address bar of an explorer window I get the "Windows cannot find 'WkStn13'. Check spelling, try again. Try searching.." etc. error. -- Len ______________________________________________________ remove nothing for valid email address. Tag: XP will not start Tag: 807491

    - XP Pro - Bootable USB image using Ghost I am trying to create an image I can use to boot from USB. I don't have the XP installation CD instead I have the ghost file. I created a ghost image using Ghost 8.0. I am able to use the Ghost explorer and view all the files. Is it possible to create a bootable image ?. Can I format the USB key and copy all the files from the ghost image ?. Is there any way I could make this work ?. Thanks SC Tag: XP will not start Tag: 807471

    - log on I am a Mac person, and my wife has an inexpensive pc with XP on it. We never set up any password, but today my son logged off of windows by accident, and now when we restart it, it asks for user (owner) and a password. Sorry, but I can't help her. Tag: XP will not start Tag: 807465

    - Windows XP Home keeps restarting. My computer keeps restarting. I can not find anything in the event viewer that would give me an idea as to what it is. It might not do this for several days then all of a sudden it will start. It might shut off every 10 mins. to every hour. I have cleaned out the dust. I have not added any new hardware. No blue screen comes up even though I disabled it. Any help???Thanks Tag: XP will not start Tag: 807461

After reinstalling windows XP home, windows will only start in safe mode.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?
Thanks and regards Freddy

It's likely you need either a driver for your 'chipset', or the Display
Adapter. Some lacking driver is preventing 'normal' mode.
