"Acquiring network address" icon displayed forever
Hello
(This issue has been widely reported for a while already, but I don't
seem to be able to find any real solution.)
There's what appears to be a user-interface-level glitch in Windows XP.
When the computer goes out of standby mode, it reacquires its the
network connections, both wireless and Ethernet. The connections get
reacquired successfully, but the animated "Acquiring network address"
icons remain in the tray bar forever. The only way to get rid of them is
to open the "Network Connections" window and do a "Refresh", which makes
the icons disappear.
Is there any way to get rid of those annoying animated icons without
jumping through all these hoops with opening the "Network Connections" etc.?

Creating Partitions on Wind XP
Hi,
My Wind XP is installed on my hard drive. The overview of the drive is
as follows: there is an unallocated space roughly 4173MBytes and a
NTFS partition (C) size 70GBytes containing Win XP.
I want to create another NTFS partition of 35 GBytes. However,
Partition Magic 6.0 does not allow this: it allows me to create
another partition of maximum size 4173MBytes, but it does not allow me
to resize the C partition, even though the C partition has 60GBytes of
free space. How do I solve this problem?
Many thanks,

File permissions problem
By mistake, I deleted a user on the system - I logged on as Administrator in
safe mode and I can see the deleted user's files and view them (they're
jpg's mainly) - but when I'm logged on as another user, I can see the files
in Explorer, but I can't view the pictures - Picture Manager has a red X in
the middle of the viewing frame.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! Tag: My Recent Documents Tag: 1917657

Media Player includes unwanted pictures
I use Windows Media Player to listen to music.
However, it has included a lot of pictures (.jpg-files) that I have
other programs to view and that I do NOT want to show in WMP.
I keep the pictures in a directory that I have never mentioned to
WMP.
In fact, when I copied the pictures to a directory I had just created,
WMP immediately started to include the pictures into the All Pictures
Library so now WMP has a double set of pictures.
I keep the pictures in the directory
C:\Documents and Settings\PersonalAccount\PersonalPictures
(nothing to do with My Documents or My Pictures).
How do I tell WMP not to include any pictures? Or just to include
pictures from directories I specify in Add To Library?
My system is XP Pro SP3
WMP is version 11
Thanks for any answer

Recovery Console problem
Hello
I am trying to use Windows XP Repair as I can't see any System Information
when I type in msconfig32.exe in Run.
When I install the CD it asks me to boot from the CD and I say yes. Then it
asks if I want to repair Windows using Recovery Console so I say yes (though
I am not sure I have ever been able to retrieve System Information).
Anyway, then it asks me for an administrator password. As I am the computer
administrator (this is a stand-alone PC using Win XP Home), I type in my
normal password - which it does not like.
Can I ask what is the problem here?
Thanks.

How to stop desktop icons from rearranging?
Hello all,
Using Windows XP SP3, my laptop is connected to a docking station that
utilizes two monitors. At the end of the day I logged off, and take my
laptop. When I come back in the morning, I reconnect to the docking station
and my icons are rearranged. I have unchecked "auto arrange". "Aligned to
Grid" is checked. The video resolution is changed once I connect to the
docking station. Does this have anything to do with the icons? Any ideas?

Bootup / Startup Issue on XP Pro SP2
Hi,
I'll 'try' and keep this quick:
A couple of days ago my computer, upon start/bootup, came up with the
message stating the the "ntoskrnl.exe file was missing or corrupted and
needed to be reloaded." Looking online (not ms.com) I was pointed to getting
this file from the WinXP CD (note. my version is XP Pro SP2) using the
'expand' command in DOS. I was unable to do this as I kept getting a message
that the file could not be created. Then, again looking elsewhere online for
more ideas, I tried doing a 'fixboot' in DOS hoping to repair the boot-up. As
you may know, this started to 'rebuild/create a new boot sector.' After a
while I finally got a message stating that the boot sector could not be
created. After that, when trying to reboot (w/ the Win XP CD installed),
things were different: after doing the initial memory count, the devices
search came up w/ NONE for the primary master drive and was correct for my
second physical HD. After a while, it finally did booted from the CD. I was
then hoping to reinstall Windows but ran into something else: in the Setup,
at the 'existing partitions and unpartitioned space' page, my list shows 8mb
(yes only 8mb) of unpartioned space and my options (at bottom of the screen)
are to install windows, create partition or exit. Note. at the top of this
list it states "114471mb disk 0 at Id 1 on bus 0 on atapi (MBR) - I don't
know what this means but do know that mbr is master boot record. Anyway, the
remaining 3 items on the list are drives C, D and E showing them as
partitioned w/ fat32.
NOW... my question - how should I proceed? What shoud/can I do with the
small (8mb) unparitioned space and what is it? Is it the 'unsuccessful boot
sector creation? Should I just install windows in the C drive again? I really
hope that someone has the patience to read through this and can provide
feedback.... please! Thanks, LA35. Tag: My Recent Documents Tag: 1917630
How to save Outlook Express e-mails?
I have a lot of e-mails saved in folders I created in OE6. I'm think they're

in "My Documents" to save them there. That's works fine until I try to save

Removing Bluetooth
I am running XP Pro SP2. I have two different Motorola Cell phones that I
want to dl pictures to my computer. One is a Motorola Razr V3. The other is a
Motorola V-551. Both have Bluetooth capability.
I have installed and successfully downloaded data from the Razr using a
Bluetooth connection. Evidently, the Bluetooth software for the Razr phone is
not backward compatible with the earlier V-551 phone. I installed the
Motorola Bluetooth software that was provided with the V-551, to access that
phone (without success, I might add).
The V-551 software installed a Bluetooth link and icon in the control panel.
I think that that is conflicting with the Bluetooth version that is
compatible with the Razr. I cannot find any way to uninstall the Bluetooth
link in the control panel. There is nothing in the add/remove programs to
uninstall it, and nothing I can find in the add/remove hardware either. Does
anyone have a clue how I can remove this Bluetooth link from my system?

Remote Assistance - what to check ?
I've never used RA on my PC and now trying to be the "expert". My niece
sent me email invite - I clicked attachment - she got nothing on screen -
eventually I get a "can't find client'-type message. I had her turn off

She has XP SP2 and DSL router .... big-picture-wise, to get ready to do
this,
what are settings to have her check ? RA - is on -as she sent me email.
I'll have her turn off firewall - she's on Verizon DSL - I'm on Comcast

RA would " handle that" ? ( I changed numbers in message to xxx while
reviewing)
If we're both on routers - a problem ? Disconnect them temporarily ? (
Yeah I know not cool, but just want to make it simple for her - let me
connect - check things out - disconnect)

Start Menu subfolders closing inappropriately
I open start menu>My Documents>subfolder1>subfolder2>etc. Pausing on
subfolder auto-opens them to right. When I reach right side of screen, they
open to left instead. Fine. But now if I hover the folder that opened to the
left, then move the mouse horizonally back to the right, the menu on the
right most side of the screen closes. Actually if I hover open topmost
folder on right most side of screen, all is well, but any other folder, menu
closes as stated.
IOW, in example
My Documents>SubFoldersA>SubFoldersB>SubFoldersC(rightmost side of
screen)>SubFoldersD(opens to left)
hover open any folder in SubFolderC's list (except first one), point to the
folder you just opened, then try to return to previous folder. Menu of
SubFoldersC closes. Occasionally it will stay open (if I move the mouse just
so?) but the first folder works fine and nowhere nearly so finicky.
Hard to describe, but very annoying. (XP Home SP3) Anyone know what the
problem is? Ideas appreciated. Tag: My Recent Documents Tag: 1917608
DVI and VGA
Using Windows XP (latest updates), Dell Latitude D820 and View Sonic monitorâ?¦
I have the VGA on the monitor connected to a KVM switch to view two
different computers, this has always worked fine.
The Dell laptop docking station has a DVI (in addition to VGA) and the View
Sonic monitor has a DVI (in addition to a VGA). So, I thought if I hooked up
the DVI, and left the VGA hooked up, it would simply be a matter of using the
monitor's on screen input selector to choose Analog (vga) or Digital (dvi).
However, when ever I choose DVI, it displays analog, as if there is nothing
coming across on the DVI cable.
Do you have to do something on the computer to have it display over the
DVI?
Anybody know what the problem might be?

Flash and Packet writing CD
Using Office 07 enterprise on standalone Dell Latitude D820 laptopâ?¦
I had to reformat and reinstall the hard disk (not fun); I have some
quesitons on things I noticed:
1) I have used Nero InCD to read/write CDs the same as floppies (i.e.
Packet writing). I was surprised when I put the CD in a computer without
InCD on it that the computer could read the CD, although I don't think it
could write to it (not sure here). Has the lastest Windows XP incorporated
Packet writing so a program like InCD is no longer needed?
2) Before I went to the Adobe website to download flash, flash was installed
on the computer (an older version maybe from the older Windows XP DVD used to
reinstall). Is flash now distributed with XP?
Please advise.

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: My Recent Documents Tag: 1917524

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?

Blue Screen and Windows Startup Problem
I was lowering the voltage on my processor (not a lot) using my ASUS A
Overclocking program which came with my motherboard, and I suddenly go
a blue screen. When I tried restarting my computer Windows XP wouldn'
load. I get to the point immediately before the windows icon and loadin
bar show up, and the screen indefinitely remains black.
In an attempt to fix the issue I was going to use my Windows XP CD'
repair feature, but as soon as all the "Setup is Loading...." stuff end
I get a blue screen. It says: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and the stop cod
is: 0x0000000A (0x000000820, 0x00000003, 0x00000001, 0x80809e19)
Does anyone know what the problem is, or how to fix it Tag: My Recent Documents Tag: 1917462

Sound....
I know this isn't a Windows issue,
I bought some Speakers surround sound, and a subwoofer....
i've had some hooked up to my PC before...
this has three cables to go into the sound card and i hooked them up
but only the ones hooked into output work, not ones hooked into c/
subwoofer, or sside or rear... i ahve an HP a1220n pavillion with the
onboard card...
the last ones i had, had an adapter that the 3 cables plugged into
this adapter that would put them all into the output, i was wondering
do i need to get one of these or what? Tag: My Recent Documents Tag: 1917450
This folder is has a great number of shortcuts saved for recent ducuments.
Some are very old.
What is the best way to reduce the size ? Go to folder and delete ?
Fred
That's the best and cleanest way. You can see each one before you delete it.
