    - Card Slot Hi, I am running Windows XP on my laptop, and I have a couple of cards that I use for internet. One is a Motorola wireless adapter (because the computer does not have built in wireless), and the other is a Verizon Air Card (for mobile internet). The problem I'm having is that I have to keep reinstalling these cards (using the driver discs) almost every time I switch from one to the other. I never had this problem before. I just wiped out and reloaded (with the stock restore disc), and it has not helped. I have also had problems with a GPS device that plugs into the USB. I've had to reinstall this a couple times too. The details are below: Computer: Panasonic Toughbook CF-51 Wireless Adapter: Motorola WN825G Verizon Air Card: Qualcomm PC5750 If more information is needed to answer this question, please let me know and I'll get it ASAP. I don't know the type of card slot this is, but I know it's the wider one, not the newer, skinnier slot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance, Jason Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900907

    - Wireless problem after installing SP3 Hi After installing SP3 onto an Acer Aspire 1360 (XP Home SP2) it will no longer connect to my wireless network. It simply sits there trying to acquire an IP address but doesn't succeed. It also says the signal strength is low where it is usually excellent and is trying to connect at 1Mbps. Trying to find networks in range results in the claim there are no networks in range. Uninstalling SP3 restores normality. The wireless router is a Belkin with hardware version F5D7231-4 2000. Any ideas? -- Paul Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900902

    - System Slowing Down. Any Suggestions. Windows XP, SP2. I have a system that has been running fine for a few years. It has a 3 GHz processor and 4 GB of memory. Recently everything is running much slower. Programs open up very slowly, some Excel workbooks with macros run interminably long. Internet browsing is slow. The LAN is fine, as I can go to another system and it runs the same processes and browses the net quickly. I have scanned for spyware and viruses and removed spyware and found no viruses. What can cause a system to bog down like this? Any suggestions on how I can restore the system to its former vigor?

    - Persistent "extra linebreak" problem with Live Mail / Hotmail Why isn't there a newsgroup for Live Mail / Hotmail? Anyhow... I'm getting annoying by the extra linebreaks Live keeps inserting in my emails. No matter how careful I am about it, and how good an email looks on my end before sending, it always has that annoying "blank line for every time you hit enter" problem when I go to my sent folder and look at what I sent. It's like it's interpreting all BR tags as P tags. Know what I mean? I even tried emailing from Outlook (which I've configured to sync with my Hotmail account) and it does the same thing, except that when I look at my sent folder in Outlook, the email looks fine. When I look at the very same email sent with Outlook, but in IE instead, the extra linebreaks are there again. ...the hell? How do I fix this bug? Thanks.

    - Re: About Registry Cleaners Hi, Doesn't WinXP have a built in "SCANREG" as does Windows 98SE? On a Win98 computer, I have often used the command (in Dos mode), "SCANREG /FIX /OPT" . Only recently, I bought a WinXP laptop, but I didn't search for a SCANREG or it's equivalent yet.

    - Why two different types of app errors? We have an application that is occasionally crashing in random places. Some users get the typical fatal error: "xxxxxxxx" has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. But one of our users always gets something like this: The instruction at "0x003de054" referenced memory at "0x00300034". The memory could not be "written". Any thoughts about why one user would get one whereas someone else would get the other? Are there memory conditions or PC configuration issues that would produce one error rather than the other?

When I go to the icon it says "Local Area Connection Speed 100 Mbps Authentication failed" any idea on how to resolve this? Asking it to repair itself does not help.

    - SP3 direct download link needed Tried DLing SP3 yesterday and found the file size too small, about 230 meg. used this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en What's happening is, MS is DLing SP3 to the Internet directory (which is a small partition with little free space) instead of to a TMP or TEMP directory which point to large partitions with loads of free space! Two questions: 1) does anyone have a direct link to MS DL site for the latest SP3 release (I'll use a DLer program which saves exactly where I want them)? 2) outside of changing the temporary Internet directory location, is there any way to circumvent MS from using that directory as its temp location?

    - Vista question about "compatibility mode" and "safe mode". Sorry for posting a Vista question in the XP section, but I just dont know where is the vista newsgroup or if it exists. Anyway, my problem is im trying to run a program which can only run under two conditions: 1) Can only run under windows XP. 2) Needs to run in safe mode to work correctly. The first problem I can solve it by simply runing the program under compatibility mode (so it thinks its running under XP SP2). but the problem is that in Safe Mode I can't use change the compatibility mode because the option is greyed out. So my question is, is there any other way to use compatibility mode while in Safe mode? like from the command line? Many thanks in advance. P.D: If there is an MS Vista newsgroup plz do post the link. Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900763

    - Downloading stops for no reason ... Downloading used to be an easy job. However, it's getting more and more difficult. Used to be that whenever I download stuffs, where-ever I downloaded it from, downloading itself poses no problem. I could even download an entire CD-ROM ISO content, over 700MB in size, in one shot. Then things started to degrade. First, it was the download from file-sharing services such as MegaUpload or RapidShare that gave me problems. The download just stops in the middle for no apparent reason. At first I thought it was the ADSL modem or port problem. It wasn't. Then I thought it was the ISP throttling bandwidth. It wasn't either. At the time, downloading from plain-old HTTP or FTP sites were still okay. Only file sharing services such as RapidShare or MegaUpload that gave me headaches. Then, this thing turns uglier. Downloading from regular FTP sites, or even downloading a PDF file as small as 4MB would just stop in the middle. So I thought, hey, it must be the browser. Changed my browser, the problem persisted. Change browser again, hey, the same. At that time, web pages are still okay, even webpages with lots and lots of pictures open fine. Now, things has gone from bad to worse. No matter which browser I use (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Safari, Opera), sometimes the webpage would just load half-way. Click on the "reload" page, the page reloads from scratch ... and stops at half way. Webpages with lots of pictures fair the worst. Pictures loads halfways, some even didn't load. There are all sorts of things that I just can't explain anymore. So now, to all of you with so much experiences ---- What the heck is wrong with my computer ???? I am connecting to the Net via ADSL. Aztech modem. PC is Pentium Duo-Core based. OS is XP Home. 4GB of RAM. 250 GB of Hard Disk. I have scanned my PC with anti-virus softwares up and down, no virus. I have also check the firewall settings. Nothing wrong. Trojans? I dunno. But so far, Norton isn't telling me anything. So to all with so much wonderful experience ---- is there _ANY_ possibility that some settings in my PC has been changed somehow, in causing the downloading problem??? BTW, check the line also. No stoppage, no signal drop. Everything normal. Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with my PC ???? Please, I need your help. Thank you ! Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900754

    - Basic security Hi group I dont have xp rigth now, so this message can have some inexact information, but I believe here its enough to understand. I rigth clicked one folder inside MyDocuments, and then I established this folder as private, meaning that other users of the same computer cant see file content of any file inside this folder. Then I placed the hard disk on another computer, to verify that file content cant be accessed, and verified all ok, files cannot be read. The folder was not encripted, because it have exe files wich Im affraid, could be damaged, I dont know if such damage by using encription, is possible. Do you think the folder content is really innaccesible?. I recall the aspect that I dont want to encript by the presence of .exe files. Of course, resuming I say: Is a folder made private, secure if other persons take your hard disk?, at least under usual attacks, DOS access, Safe Mode Access, etc. Of course, all would be decided if I can encript the folder.

    - Font problem - maybe a virus issue? Hello, I've had a few problems with my PC lately, mainly on shutting down I was getting a message box saying that a program was having a problem (can't remember exact words) and asking if I wanted to stop it from running. The application that was mostly doing this was "gcasDtServ.exe" (sometimes it was "GoogleDesktop.e")which I've found to be part of Microsoft AntiSpyware. I also had a file with a similar name which was "GCASDTSERV.EXE-04B13CAF.pf" which could be a related file. I read that sometimes this gcas file has been hijacked and used for virus type activity so I did a full virus scan using my McAfee software and also the Microsoft OneCare product. Both came up OK, no virus. I was thinking about deleitng the .pf file mentioned above, but next time I went to look for it it was gone. My shut-down problem seems to have been fixed for the moment, but now I'm having an odd problem with my fonts in Outlook and Word. When I use Arial it will only appear in Bold. I have not selected bold and I can't get rid of it. When I checked Format/Font I noticed that the dialogue box doesn't have an option for "Regular" under "Font Style". It seems to be the only font that does not have this option. What has happened to it? How can I get it back? I checked in the WINDOWS/Fonts folder to see if there was a font in there called Arial, and there is, it's called "arial.ttf". Does anyone now how I can fix this, and does this sound virus related?

    - Windows crashes... My sister has a four-year-old Dell 2400 with WinXP. A few days ago, when she booted up, Windows began to load, then the screen went black and her mouse and keyboard went out. The power light on the tower was still on. The same thing happened after several attempts to boot. When I went around to look at it, I booted into safe mode and began to do a system restore. Right in the middle of the restore the screen went blank. I opened the case and made sure all cables were firmly seated. Grasping at straws I booted to the CMOS setup and looked at the event viewer.

    - Keyless installation of XP SP3 I think most of you are aware that XP SP3 has a new feature that permits you to install XP without entering a product key. Doing so gives you a 30-day grace period before being required to enter the pk. Activation requires entry of the product key at the time of activation if it has not been previously entered. In effect, this makes your XP SP3 cd a trial copy. To do a keyless installation, when you install XP and reach the screen where you are asked to enter the pk, leave the fields blank and click Continue. To take advantage of this you must be using an XP SP3 integrated cd so you will need to slipstream XP SP2 and the download from https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&DisplayLang=en I use nLite for the slipstreaming. You must do this on an XP x86 machine. Do NOT use Vista. I have not had occasion to use the rearm command in XP SP3 but it may work as it does in Vista with a keyless install. The rearm command gives you an additional 30-day grace period and may be used up to three times. The command is "slmgr -rearm". Why you would install keyless is up to you but I use it for experiments in virtual machines that I only run for a day or two. Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900704

    - Slipstreaming SP3 using HD based ISO I still have the ISO image on hard drive from when I slipstreamed SP2 with XP Pro gold to produce a bootable XP SP2 CD. I'm wondering if I could use that HD based ISO image to merge with SP3, using Autostreamer, to produce an XP SP3 ISO image. It will be interesting to see if SP3 will be available free on CD. MS has done that twice in 2004. In Feb 2004 they released a Security Update CD that included SP1A and all subsequent updates. That CD was widely distributed and available free by mail, and at the checkouts at BestBuy, Staples, etc. It was released to address a security concern. Then in the fall of 2004 the SP2 update CD was available free by mail. ID Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900684

I don't know if this is sufficient info. Thanks in advance franktee os winxp pro dell insp 9300 Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900635

    - USB flash drive: Does the insert cause an event? I'm researching something on a PC, and I need to know if a USB flash drive was inserted. There is nothing in the event logs, but is there any way to determine if a USB flash drive was inserted into a PC? Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900633

    - XP Home Edition with Office XP Student Teacher Edition My PC has been taking an extreme amount of time to boot, so last night I reinstalled windows xp Home SP1. For the install, I used the option of installing a fresh copy over the existing copy without reformating the disc partition. I then went to install Office xp standard for students and teachers version 2002 and the disk will not load. I copied the contents of the disc onto my hard drive and attempted to run from there, the info copied fine but it still would not execute the set-up program. It looks like a copy of the office programs are still on my C drive in the program files folder, but when I click on the app, the computer crashes. Help Please. I have now wasted about 15 hours on this nonsense. Should I reformat the HD and start from scratch? Finally, it appears that the computer is running about 50% slower than normal.

    - XP SP3 Does anyone know, if XP SP3 is available to order on a CD or DVD? Sadly I am forced to subscribe to HUGHES satellite ISP and with a download size the likes of SP3, will most certainly cause a "fair access policy" violation that in turn causes them to reduce my download speed to less then dialup. -- :-) Tag: Windows XP 9and Outlook 2000) error Tag: 1900625

    - Dead Sound Device after Software Install This is XP Sp2, C2D 6400, 2 GB RAM, Asus P5LD2 MoBo with RealTek High Definition audio device. After installing some audio software (NCH Swift Sound suite www.nch.com.au), the Realtek sound device was dead. Checking 'Sounds and Audio Devices' in the control panel, I get 'no audio device', all buttons and boxes there are greyed out. DVD-Writer, DVD-ROM and WebCam not recognized anymore. I uninstalled those in Device Manager, then running the Add Hardware wizard brought them back to life but not Realtek. Uninstalled all NCH software and cleaned the registry, to no avail, the sound device is still dead. Device is enabled, driver info says it's working properly, properties are set to 'use audio features .. use mixer features .. etc .. on this device'. Any hint as to what to try next much appreciated.

    - WinXP SP3 Issues I am in a corp enviroment using Novell as NOS. I have mutliple PC's of varying makes and models. mostly HP and dell. I started updating PC's yesterday and I always do a test on them one at a time to see if the patch will cause problems with our other software. Here is my findings so far; 4 with problems : 2 without... 50% 1. One PC is now in a reboot loop whereas safe mode doesn't work... will have to do a restore. I will have to work on this problem to find a fix... i suspect it is the stop: C0000139 GDI file missmatch error... (so they said they fixed it in this release) but i will see tommorrow when i get a hold of the PC... 2. Two PC's installed fine and rebooted fine, however repeated attempts to revisit microsoft or windows update site has a issue where after the Microsoft update site finishes its scan, it reports more patches due (mostly office 2003 patches) but never the less after selecting them for download and install they all fail. Says an error like this "a problem is preventing updates to install" (or something similar). The SP3 apparently breaks both the windows or microsoft update site from being used again. However, you can go to the download site and download the patches one at a time and install them with out issue. I used Microsoft's free tech support service last night and after 6 hours of them remoteing in, i finally have a batch file that re-registers all the .dll files for windows update. This has fixed the broken updaters. 3. One PC would not allow me to log-in to the network (i am on novell client 4.91) and had to go into safe mode to uninstall novell client and reinstall it to fix that issue. 4. Two PC's installed just fine and did not exhibit the issues described above. 50% shot of it working correctly... one note however, On two of the broken ones, I used the administrator download to install it from our network drive instead of downloading from web. One of them being the reboot looper... I will hold off installing / rolling out more until microsoft releases SP3(b)... Plea for sanity... Come on MS listen to us and get it right.... This thing has to be solid if we (I) as an administrator are to roll this out to 150+ computers in my organization... or I will have each user call your free support line when they blow up....

    - Why do pictures from my Digital Camera cause Windows Explorer to Crash with Thumbnails? Computer is a new Dell Precision 3400 with dual core Pentium and 2 GB RAM. OS is manufacturer's load of XP with SP2 and all of the latest updates since delivery last month. Camera is a Nikon D300 shooting in 14-bit Raw mode. Sometimes -- and only in some folders -- Windows Explorer barfs when asked to display thumbnails. If it fails in a folder, it will fail everytime in that folder so there's obviously something about the pictures in that folder that kills it. BUT ... when I view the same folders from another (but older) WinXP over the network with thumbnails, there's no problem and the images of the JPG in the folder are displayed properly. What possible incompatibility could exist between a folder of digital pictures, about half .NEF and the other half .JPG and one WinXP computer but not another?
