    - sp3/usb problems Since upgrading to sp3 I've had numerous problems with usb ports. I used one to plug in a Firelite external drive. It would show up as removable drive I:. I uninstalled sp3. I'm back to sp2, but now my external drive does not show up in My Computer. A check of Tweakui shows many of the available drive letters having a red dot with a question mark inside. Drive I: is one of them. Any ideas what the dots mean? Since I use this external drive to backup my system I'm in a bit of a panic! I used Device Mgr. to remove the usb ports and then they reinstalled on the next boot. Any help please!! TIA Tag: XP DISC PROBLEM Tag: 1917562

    - Net framework 1.1 and 2 Hi folks, I've just finished reading that when you install NF 2 after 1.1, it can break 1.1. If you use Media Centre and x64. And you're meant to uninstall NF 2 or something then reinstall it to fix it. I've also just noticed, this has happened on the PC I'm on now (using x32). Both 1.1 and 2 are installed. (under 1.1 in add/remove programs, its says readme, instead of a site. It points to repairRedist.htm Even tho the link under 1.1 says the 1.1 install maybe corrupt, would programs that require 1.1 still run or not?? I dont really fancy uninstalling .Net framework 2 after I've just installed it, (and reinstalling it), just because of some cockup / bad programming. Is there some kind of fix to fix it. So, 1.1 doesnt get screwed up after you install NF 2? And to save someone uninstalling and reinstalling NF 2? Tag: XP DISC PROBLEM Tag: 1917524

    - SQL Dumper library failed initialization This is the message I get everytime I restart my computer at the log in page. "SQL Dumper library failed initialization. Your installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with. Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem." I think I did this accidentally when I was in add/remove programs. All I know is I removed something (I was in a hurry and tired) accidentally and now when I restart my computer, I get the above message. I don't know what the program is that this message is referring to in order to remove it and add it back. I would appreciate it if you could direct me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

    - Memory/CPU usage of explorer.exe I have an external hard drive connected to my desktop computer (Compaq Presario running Windows XP Home edition). Lately, when I try to open the drive in Windows explorer, my computer has been freezing up. I am unable to open files stored on the external drive, or use other programs until I close the drive with Task Manager. T.M. says the drive is not responding, CPU usage shoots up to 100% and stays there, and memory usage for explorer.exe often reaches 40,000-45,000KB. I have run two separate virus/malware removal programs trying to find something that might be hijacking the CPU/memory usage, but both have come up clean. The drive's manufacturer has no solutions other than "something's in there". Does anyone know what could be causing this issue and how I can resolve it? Tag: XP DISC PROBLEM Tag: 1917475

    - Linksys tech support live chat transcript - enjoy!!!! I had a PC come across my desk that had Linksys drivers for a WUSB54G installed - but the install somehow failed. If you tried to uninstall the Linksys app pops up and fails to uninstall saying that some file (it doesn;t say which) is missing and the uninstall aborts. If you try and re-install, it says you can't reinstall until you untinstall. This would not be a problem except that the Linksys software is interfering with another adapter also that I tried to install to get away from Linksys hell. I even deleted all WUSB* from the Windows directories and all WUSB* registry entries that I could. The uninstall and reinstall both still fail. Frustrated as hell (isn't that how we all are when we contact technical support?) I went online to get some help from Linksys, and this is what I got. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Hi, my name is Sunmay Jagtap (40437). How may I help you? Jim: I have a WUSB54G v1 that I installed - something went wrong with the install and I tried to uninstall - it then said a file was missing and aborted the uninstall - when I try and reinstall it says I have to uninstall first - what the hell? Sunmay Jagtap (40437): I can understand your concern's. May I please know the model number and version number with the serial number ( S/N no ) of all the linksys product you are using . Jim: I don't have it - I left work already - its at work - do you mean to tell me that you don;t have a simple uninstall for your products? Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Well, if you uninstall it from the all program or add or remove program , it should get uninstalled . Jim: ARE YOU READING THI+ Jim: THIS Jim: PAY ATTENTION Jim: If I try and unsinstall it says there is a missing file Jim: If I try and re-install to replace whatever file is missing it says I have to uninstall first Sunmay Jagtap (40437): That's the only option to have it uninstalled . If you are not able to do that , you can get back to us from the work place , so that we can try to troubleshoot that adapter . Jim: But I CANT FKING UNINSTALL because the file is missing Jim: I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHE LINKSYS PRODUCT Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Do you know the file name you were missing ? Jim: NO - your beautiful software sdoesn;t tell me what file is missing Sunmay Jagtap (40437): It seem's you are very frustrated , I do understand. Please let me know if you are not having that adapter with you as of now, how I could help. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): I am there to resolve your issue , however there might be many reasons , behind it as it is not getting uninstalled . Jim: You must have a simple uninstall app that cleans a system of all Linksys WUSB files....Norton has stuff like that for their products. I really dont get why you would put out an uninstall that will not uninstall if a file is missing - WHY DOES THAT MATER? Youre uninstalling it Sunmay Jagtap (40437): It will be very difficulty for me to assume the error and resolve it or give you a proper resolution on it . Jim: Why? Sunmay Jagtap (40437): If the operating system is not giving you any resources to uninstall it like a .sys file is corrupted or missing , you can face this issue . Jim: Its not the OS!!!! YOUR SOFTWARE UNINSTALL APPLICATION FAILS saying a file is missing and it does not tell me what file is missing\ Sunmay Jagtap (40437): If you fill that the Uninstall wizard on the adapter CD is not working , you can try it in some other computer . I am sure you should get to a proper conclusion . Jim: Then, as if that wasn't stupid enough, your software will not re-install without uninstalling - which your software won;t do because some phantom file is missing that it will not tell me what file that is.... Jim: They'll love reading this in the newsgroups..... Sunmay Jagtap (40437): It also happen's that the software even after uninstalling , remain's in your registry , so you might need to clean up from that registry . Jim: So your software doesn't clean up its own mess? Jim: If your software puts in a registry entry, when it is removed (WHICH I CANNOT DO) it should remove ALL registry entries Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Well, registry belong's to your operating system not any device . Jim: YOUR SOFTWARE WROTE TO IT IT CAN DAMN WELL CLEAN UP AFTER ITSELF Jim: Unless your coders arent that bright Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Is the adapter more than 3 years old or less than that ? Jim: Less Sunmay Jagtap (40437): You can try to download the latest driver's for your adapter and in that you will get the setup wizard as well, you can try to use the new one . Jim: You have to be the worst rep ever!!!! I have told you time and time again that the software install fails because it says it is missing a file and you can't overwrite it with another install because it makes you try to uninstall first - WHICH I CANT FUCKING DO! Sunmay Jagtap (40437): I appreciate you high technical skill you are possessing , and getting to a conclusion that it is the software issue. Being I a technical representative , I am afraid I will not be able to assume thing's and give you a solution as they will be improper and wrong on my part . Jim: Really? Well, I am not as technically proficient as you. I only taight my first programming class 25 years ago. I only own a small computer company and I only write programs for attorneys and banking institutions. Sp forgive me if I fail to see how you can screw up an installation so completely that it will neither install OR uninstall. Jim: I'm off to post this in the newsgroups - maybe I can save other unsuspecting people from Linksys hell..... Sunmay Jagtap (40437): That's great! to know you are doing very well on your part . However , you do not have any product detail's and the device with you , so it will not be possible for me to have it troubleshooted . Please let me know if you have any option's or what resolution should you like from my end , that can help you to resolve this issue ? Jim: It is a WUSB54G version 1. I fail to see why a serial number is needed when you know the model and version of the product. I also fail to see how programmers could be so stupid as to code an app that will not uninstall because it is missing a file that will be deleted anyway during the uninatall AND to also fail to allow the reinstallation of the application - forcing an unistall which is not possible due to a missing file - which they are also too dimwitted to give you any clue as to the name of the missing file so that it could be replaced. You'd never make it a week at my company. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): I will suggest you to try to install and install the adapter in some other computer . If you face the same issue even with some other computer , you can have the adapter replaced as per the warranty status from our end , if your adapter is in warranty . Jim: Why would I screw up a second PC with your software when you can't tell me how to get it off the first one? You must be out of your mind. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): On what basic should I assume that it is the software and not the computer or the registry or the OS? Jim: When your software will not uninstall because it is missing a file and it does not say what that ffile is - that is a problem with your software. Jim: When your software will not overwrite the old install and forces an uninstall - that is a problem with your software coded by your coders. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Well, what un installation Wizard does it use while uninstalling it ? Jim: Yours. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Are you using windows xp on that adapter computer or any other operating system ? Jim: XP Home Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Have you tried to uninstall the adapter from the device manager ? Jim: The device was unplugged. It did not show in the device manager. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): So have you tried uninstalling the software when the device is plugged in ? Jim: No. Is that where it keeps this phantom missing file? Jim: And why would it delete a file from teh device to unistall from my pc? Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Well, that might be the case . If the device is not there in the computer , how can the software get un installed if that software is not in use , as it will not respond properly . Jim: Because the damned files are still on the hard drive. Without the device pugged in, they should have no reason to be in use and could easily be deleted - IF your coders knew what the hell they were doing. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): When you install the linksys software , does it ask you in between the installation to plug the adapter In ? Jim: I didn't install the adapter. Jim: The device does not have to be plugged in to uninstall - at least not with uninstall software that works. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): So if the adapter is not installed properly using the software , I am sure, there might be some issue uninstalling it . Linksys software needs to be plugged the adapter in the computer in between the installation and un installation . Jim: That does not explain why I cannot uninstall the damned software, tell me what file is missing that prevents me from uninstalling nor does it tell me why I can't reinstall the software without uninstalling it first which _ and I may have mentioned this before -- I CANT FUCKING DO!!!! Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Please click on the link below : URL Received: http://kb.linksys.com/3847 Sunmay Jagtap (40437): Also in windows xp you do not need the linksys software as linksys has a built in wireless utility called as easy link advisor . Jim: How the hell does a link teeling me how to install the device help this situation?. Jim: Have fun explaining this little conversation.....if I wanted to waste my time, I wouldn't waste it with Linksys. Sunmay Jagtap (40437): If the software can be loaded as you assume without plugging the adapter , then it should get uninstalled as well , correct? Jim: What? Jim: I never said it could be loaded without the adapter! Jim: Damned off-shore help desks..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a great day! And smile......after all, we don't *have* to use Linksys, do we? Jim Tag: XP DISC PROBLEM Tag: 1917463

    - Miniscule fonts I have XP SP3 on a Dell, with Office 2007 Student and Home, and IE7. I can right click on Desktop/Properties to get the Display Properties, from where I can manipulate the specified font and font sizes to my satisfaction, which I have done. However, none of this seems to have any effect on the minuscule font sizes that appear elsewhere and over which, for the life of me, I cannot see how I have any control. For example, the Display Properties box has tiny font sizes, say size 4, Start/Favourites come up in a tiny size, likewise Start/All Programs. Weird. Start on its own comes up in big fonts. I can read the tiny fonts, but they why this behaviour and how can I adjust these? They are driving me mad? Tag: XP DISC PROBLEM Tag: 1917416

    - XP Logging on then immediately logging off I have an HP Pavillion desktop w/ XP (don't know if it's Home or Pro) that logs off as soon as it logs on. I get welcome screen, logon screen, desktop wallpaper, then logoff. This happens with the only account on the machine, the same account in safe mode and the admin account in safe mode. My research points to a corrupt userinit.exe file in Windows\system32. I removed the HDD to another computer and replaced the userinit.exe file with a known good one, then returned the drive to its host machine, but no change. Further research suggests that a registry key may still point to a wrong userinit.exe file or wrong path, and I would like to check the registry to see if this is true. The key is supposed to be: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ The value is supposed to be (on a machine with Windows installed to C): C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, This computer is not on my network, so I can't connect to it's registry via the network. I've booted into recovery console and it asks me to choose between these two installs: 1. H:\MiniNT 2. H:\I386 I am confused by this because I think there is usually a C:\Windows option here, or in this case, an H:\Windows. Looking at this drive's folder structure on another computer, it has a G:\ drive and an H:\ drive. The H drive has a Windows folder with an I386 folder inside that. The G drive I believe is the recovery partition and has the MiniNT folder and an I386 folder at it's root. No Windows folder. I don't know which installation to select and I don't know what commands to enter to open or check the registry values to see if the key is correct. The HP recovery utility says that I will have to reinstall all apps that didn't come with the machine if I use it and I'd like to avoid that. Can anyone help?

    - XP can't load personal settings, logs in as temp, fix eats all my I'm running XP Media Center Ed. circa 2002 on an HP Pavillion, if that matters. I'm afraid I can only describe my problems symptomatically, as I don't have any technical knowledge on software. My computer was fine, but a few days ago I booted it up only to have it "loading personal settings" for a long time. It eventually logged me in, but I found that my desktop picture (and all other personal settings) were gone and my desktop was cluttered with, not my files, but Vongo, AOL free trial, and a slew of other icons, possibly the same ones the computer started with, but I'm not sure. What's weirder is that clicking "My Documents" only had My Pictures, Videos, and Music in it, but they were empty except for the samples. I checked my hard drive usage and all of my docs were still in there, I eventually was able to access them by following the trail of icons from My Computer. Other problems I encountered were that each time I rebooted, Firefox would behave like I had never run it before and my Cookies would be gone, but anything I downloaded to the Desktop would stay there. A few times while logging in I got an error messages saying that I would be logged in as a Temp user, but it appeared to log me in under my own username anyway. Needless to say, I backed up all of my documents before doing anything else. I tried a System Restore and was promptly told that nothing had changed to restore. My stepfather is a lot more computer-savvy than I am, and he tried to fix it. He followed this advice: http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/xp-hangs-in-loading-your-personal-/148106.html and I confess I have very little idea of what all that does. It helped though; I can log in normally, retain Appearance settings, and keep cookies from start to start. We also rearranged my files with cut and paste so My Documents would actually have my documents in it, and went through /misconfig to clean up my start-up. And boy, am I glad I backed everything up. Upon restart my hard drive was twenty gigs lighter and My Documents is stark and empty again. I'm using said computer right now, and other than some brief hang-ups it works. No scanner program or comparing it to my sister's identical, fully functional computer shows anything wrong with it. Unfortunately it's also eating my documents. One help thread I looked in suggested reinstalling Windows completely and wiping my hard drive clean. Really, I would love to. Unfortunately I've moved a bunch recently and can't find my WXP CD for this computer, and from what I've read Dell ones won't do the same thing. Is there anything else I can do to sterilize and reset this machine without screwing it up? Tag: XP DISC PROBLEM Tag: 1917330

This works without fail until you get off the internet and try to get back on. Then you have to unplug again.

I assume that you are trying to install XP on a hard drive that does not
have a system on it. If so, the *upgrade* version looks for a qualifying
system to upgrade and not finding one, it tells you to insert a disk (like a
W98 system disk) of a qualifying system.
