    - System 'Freeze' Problem I have Windows XP Pro installed. For no apparent reason my system keeps on 'freezing' (?). I consequently have to re-boot manually in order to unblock it. Lately, this has been happening rather often and it's getting rather uncomfortable to work with. I've checked program and system events and there aren't any apparent errors. I've also run my anti-virus (Norton) and all sorts of 'spybot' detecting programs, but have not found any problems. My 2 separate hard disks seem to be operating correctly and have run on both a checkdisk and defrag without getting important feedbacks. Is there anything else I can do ? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- bd Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860513

    - Opening My Computer Slow I have one computer/user at an account that has an issue with MyComputer opening VERY slow. It is as though it is looking for something on the network and having no luck finding it. However, there are no apparent mapped drives that can not be resolved or other such things. The system is otherwise clean and has been checked for all manner of malware. Where in the registry or in the user profile would I look to make sure there are no "network places" it is trying to resolve and can't? Thanks for any suggestions.

    - WinXP Sp3 Hello Group I would like to check that indeed Microsoft created the SP3 version of the WinXP but was cancelled or possibly shelved to give way to Vista. Some Warez site showed some specimens for it but . Supposing the upgrade is really available does it improve the WinXP performance dramatically? Does it have any peculiarity which might make Vista redundant confirming the reason that it was never distributed? TIA Roy Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860448

    - Boot as 2nd drive = boots OK: as only drive it fails. Neighbor had pc not booting. I have same model so put his drive in my PC to save his pictures/music etc in case needed to reinstall XP. When I put the drive in my Pc, ( cable select - his was second connection on primary IDE cable) I booted my drive and it announced - "need to scan secondary drive - was shutdown improperly" , so I let it scan/fix his drive and I could see his files in XP - copied to CD - all set. Rebooted and ON MY PC I have had 2 boot options on MY primary drive, ( I often have several drives in there) so I elected to now boot his ( as secondary drive). His drive booted up - looked good. I bought back to his house ( thinking I was done) and it hangs (his only disk drive). It STARTS to boot and looks good .... just before it would be at the user profile screen ( 2 users) it hangs at a "XP Home Edition" screen. I removed what I could from his box in case something hanging it, but same thing, so I brought it back to my house. Put back in as secondary drive - booted it -- OK. HOWEVER, if I make it the ONLY drive in my PC ( as with his) using primary IDE cable - master connector , it hangs on my PC too - same spot. I then had it as ONLY drive on my pc - using primary IDE cable - slave connector - same thing. so , ( FINALLY !) to my question: What is different OS-wise when it is hooked up as the secondary drive ? What is happening JUST before the user names appear on-screen. Also .. more info ... in no case on either Pc using either connector can I get Safe Mode ( or any other F8 option) to work when I boot that drive.IT will let me SELECT any of the F8 options ( Command Prompt, Safe Mode , debugging etc), but it does the same things onscreen, hangs at same spot. I expected it to get me to a C:\ prompt - WHY is it getting me to the XP user profile screen ??? AND when after hanging I do a hard power-off, it never notices that I powered it off. I EXPECTED it to announce- shutdown improperly - need to scan disk - it doesn't. Back in as second drive ( with another XP drive as primary) and still works fine. It's late so I'll sleep on this one for now. Any thoughts ? Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860426

    - svchost problems I have been having problem with my system where it would run fine for a while than seem to freeze. I was able to find out that in the task manager sorted by CPU that svchost.exe would be at the top of list using about 6 megs of memory. I found that if I ended that process the system would work fine. I finally felt that Norton Virus program might be the problem (no way to tell what was using the svchost.exe process) and uninstalled both the Virus and Live Update programs. Now the system works fine and svchost.exe is not there. So I assume that this was the problem. I have had problems with Norton causing problems with other machines at work so I will not be using this program again. I think I will probably be using either Trendview or McAfee - not sure which yet. My question is whether there is a better way to find out what program an svchost.exe is connected to? At the moment I have 10 of them running and no way to know if these are legitimate or not. Thanks, Tom Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860406

    - MMC disabled: how do I get the registry right? I noticed early last year ago that MMC (Microsoft Management Console v5.1, the version that shipped with Windows xp) had stopped functioning. If it's opened the interface window is just empty, and the MMC folder under C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data \Microsoft\MMC is blank too, same with the corresponding folder on my personal account (which also has some admin powers). I'm sure some registry keys have been erased too, no doubt by a virus - as I said this change happened quite a while ago and there's no sign of raging infection on the pc now. Still, I'm planning to do an overall reboot of windows in a few weeks, but before that I'd like to get the MMC in order again. The MMC files under System32 are intact: Directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 774,144 b mmc.exe 66,560 b mmcbase.dll 1,136,128 b mmcndmgr.dll 46,592 b mmcshext.dll but they don't get through. I'd appreciate any informed help with getting the registry settings right, and also with protecting against this stuff for the future (the security systems have proven effective for a long time, but seems they didn't notice this). I'm not a whix z when it comes to registry repairs but I do know how to import changed keys, back up reg settings and so on.

    - Unattended Installs Does anyone use this tool for Unattended deployment for Windows XP or Windows 2003 in their corporate environment? Is this allowed? I am concerned with anything nLite may add into the unattended media. Security risk? This is the best tool I have found that has the ease of bundling drivers for RAID cards and Security patches/Service Packs. This is mainly what I would use it for. We already have our own security templates and custom settings being applied via the WINNT.sif and script during post build. Thanks. Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860370

    - Problem Booting Windows XP Home I'm encountering a very puzzling problem with my wife's laptop, a Dell Inspiron E1405. We live about 40 miles from Santa Fe, NM and on Friday we drove to Santa Fe and my wife brought her laptop along with us so she could read me some stuff she had written. When we returned, she wanted to get online but the wireless was taking some time to, I believe, get synced up with the router and so she decided to reboot. The reboot process failed with a blue screen which indicated a problem with plug and play with the likely cause suggested as a driver problem. I have been unable for the last day and a half to get this laptop rebooted with Windows XP i.e. Windows XP Home. When we first got this laptop, about a year ago, I installed Fedora Linux on it. However, since it is my wife's laptop, she has not used the Linux installation. Anyway, I discovered that I am able to boot the laptop with the Linux installation just fine which suggests that the hardware being used by Linux is fine. I was also able to boot a Linux Live CD which allowed me to perform a backup of my wife's files. After getting her files backed up, I decided to see if I could run the diagnostics on the laptop and try to repair the XP installation with the original media. There are some pre-boot diagnostics that are available for running on a menu which one receives after pressing F12 during the boot process. I ran those and they all passed. I tried to boot from the Windows XP reinstallation CD but this failed with the same blue screen which claimed a plug and play error. I booted with the Dell Drivers and Diagnostic CD which came with the laptop and ran all the tests which are available including the ones in the troubleshooting option for not being able to boot. All of these passed. I booted with the Dell Media Direct reinstallation CD but that did not seem to offer me any options that I wanted to pursue at this time. So, that is where I am now. I'm really puzzled by all this and am not sure how to proceed. I'm very knowledgable of Linux but am not very knowledgable of Windows XP - although I have done a reinstallation of XP a couple of times in the past. I am wondering if the Dell Windows XP reinstallation CD has a repair capability although I'm not sure how I could use it if I can't boot it. I'm also a little puzzled about how this could be a driver or software problem if I can't boot from the original media installation CD. I have not updated the BIOS on this machine. If anyone could provide suggestions about what to do next or how to proceed, this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860328

    - DVD/RW Software Question: I recently upgraded my Dell Dimension 8200 with a new LG DVD/RW drive. The main reason I did this was to copy jpg files over to disk and the drive came with software but I'm not sure what does what. I would appreciate it if someone could please explain what each does and what is the best to use for my purpose. Nero Cyberlink DVD Suite SecurDisc Viewer Acrobat Reader Lightscribe I also have another question which hasn't been fully answered. After I installed the drive instead of saying DVD/RW it says CD-ROM because it isn't digitally signed. I've been told not to worry about this and I suppose I should try and create a disk to see if it indeed does work but am still wondering why it isn't digitally signed and is there a way to correct this? I would hate to think I spent all the money, time and effort just to have another CD-ROM drive! Thanks, Robert Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860289

    - Swapped HD, now computer won't boot I have two fairly new HP desktops. I purchased one in early 2006 (call this one Computer A) to replace the one I lost in Hurricane Katrina then purchased another one about one year later (call this one Computer B). It's a long story - - - - Computer A has been in storage for some time, thus, Computer B is up- to-date with the applications, documents, etc., etc. that I use daily. However, Computer A has a built-in reader for the memory cards from digital cameras -- it accepts all formats; Computer B does not. I really want to have the built-in memory card reader in the computer I use daily. Today, I swapped hard drives -- pulled the HD out of Computer B (the one I have been using daily) and stuck it into Computer A (the older one, that's been in storage, with the memory card reader built in), and vice versa. Computer A -- which now has Computer B's HD installed -- booted up, found some new hardware and installed it and is running along like nothing ever happened -- and I now have the built-in card reader. Computer B -- which now has the HD from Computer A -- does not want to boot. When I start it, I get a black-and-white screen asking if I want to start in Safe Mode, a couple of other modes, or if I want to start Windows. It counts down the seconds and starts Windows -- then the black-and-white screen reappears and we go through this loop until I pull the power plug. Turn on the power, and it does the same thing. If I pound on the F1 key while it's booting, I can go to BIOS setup. So, I'm thinking about putting my original WinXP CD in the computer, boot to the CD, wipe out the HD, reinstall WinXP and MS Office, and stick Computer B (which now has a re-formatted HD from Computer A) in storage as a backup. Or maybe I should forget about it and have a couple of fingers of Wild Turkey. Tag: File Type Association Problem Tag: 1860282

In safe Mode the Display and Powerconfiguration icon open fine but the System icon does not. Question: 1. has anyone seen this issue and resolver it? 2. What does\does not load in Safe mode that may resolve some of the issues? 3. Any ideas on how to proceed? Any ideas besides a reformat reload? Thank you.

I was testing a trial version of Nero and answered the question about opening
certain filetypes with a yes. This associated quite a few file types to
Nero. Is there a way to reset all filetype to the XP defaults?
