    - I386 Folder Files Question Hi: I have a Toshiba laptop running Win XP Home Edition and a Sony desktop running Win XP MCE(2005). When I open Windows Explorer and go to Windows\ServicePackFiles on the XP Home and open I386 folder it still has I suppose all the SP2 files (2,056 objects) in it which includes the Lang folder. However, when I open the Windows\ServicePackFiles folder on XP MCE (2005) all it has is the Lang folder and no files. Why is there a disparity in XP Home having these files while XP MCE (2005) does not? The reason that I ask is that I had a corrupt System Restore on the XP MCE (2005) and I could not restore it until I transferred the I386 ServicePackFiles from my Home XP. Had I not had another computer with these files how would I have ever restored my System Restore? If anyone has an answer to all this I sure would appreciate it. Thanks, ColTom2 Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875396

    - I/O Device Error I have a Toshiba L-35, and when I try and download HP software I get an error message "The request cannot be performed becuase of an I/O device error". I can download any other companies software beside HP. There is a Microsoft article 891894 that describes the problem, but the solution does not solve my problem. Toshiba says it is a Windows software problem. Any help or suggestions? Thanks in advance Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875370

    - getting a new valid key for xp pro I bought a computer a couple of months ago. It came with XP pro installed, but no CD or key was given to me. It worked fine, I got no errors with activation, or windows genuine or anything like that. However, the harddrive died, and I needed to install windows again on a new harddrive. I borrowed a friends cd, it installed, but failed WGA. I don't mind buying a new license and key, but I was wondering: I can get a discount through Microsoft employee purchase program (EPP). Can I use that key (even though the page for puchasing XP pro on EPP says 'version upgrade') to change my incorrect key on the computer and validate windows? I don't want to have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall, even though I do have real win 98 cds and keys. thanks Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875368

    - winlogon.exe crashes on logging off or shutting down I've had an ongoing problem for about 7 months. My system is a high end system running XP Pro, which I built 2 years ago. It runs flawlessly, but when shutting down, since the fall of 2007, winlogon.exe crashes. It also crashes if I just log off, and don't shutdown. In Safe Mode, it never crashes during shutdown or logging off. Periodically, after taking some specific action such as uninstalling a piece of software or hardware, or running RegCure, the shutdowns may become normal. And that may last for 1 hour, 1 day or up to 3 weeks. But then things return to crashing. When the system is running, it runs very smoothly, with no problems visible of any kind. I have played around with most of the non Microsoft items in the Startup listing (I use WinPatrol), but that has not really uncovered anything. I've scanned the sytem with a wide range of security software scanners - but nothing has ever been discovered. I have a HiJackThis log just in case. but I cannot locate a good place to post it, and actually have it read. I have looked in the event viewer, but have not spotted anything that seems to be a cause for this. Does anyone have any ideas that I could follow up on. As I noted, the system runs flawlessly - never crashes during normal operations - only on shutdown. Ron Hirsch Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875361

I am unable to drag a txt file onto a notepad shortcut icon on my desktop and have it open the application with that txt file open. all xp let's me do is drag the txt file and relocate it on my desktop.

    - chkdsk then asking for boot disk??? I revceived a kernel page error and then some other error that said to send report to microsoft. So I did and then they came back and said to run a chkdsk. I used the guided help and checked to fix errors. This chkdsk process took a long time fixing bad sectors in files. I ended up just going to bed while it was still running. Went down this AM before work and now it is asking for a boot disk. Do I just put in the cd that came with the computer? Do I bypass this somehow? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    - Navigating between applications Hi, My ability to navigate between applications has changed and I have been unable to find out how to fix my trouble. In the past, I could click on an icon on the bottom of my window and navigate to that application. For instance, if I had several email messages open in Outlook, I could click on the Outlook icon on the bottom of my screen, a list of the email messages would appear and then by selecting one of those messages, I would immediately navigate to that message. Now when I attempt to do the same thing, nothing occurs and the general Outlook icon on the bottom ofthe screen remains highlighted. This occurs with all open applications. The only way for me to now navigate between open applications is to ALT-TAB. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875343

    - Windows Security Update I have XP Professional with SP1 and was able with LeechFTP to upload and publish my web pages to my hosting company no problem. Then inexplicably this all changed on the 15th of February and I have since been unable to update my Customer web pages with either LeechFTP, Filezilla or CoreFTP. After investigation it appears I have received three security updates on the date everything stopped working. (I was getting a socket error) When I removed the SECURITY UPDATES (KB 944533 & 943055 & 946026) I still was unable to upload my web pages. But low and behold if I drop my firewall everything is now working. In terms of a security update this is a bit of a disaster and the changes in my firewall appear irreparable. Is there any way I can operate without disabling my firewall? Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875316

    - Sudden problem with 3D preview of screensavers and now games do not run on pc? help Hello group, I sure hope someone here can help me, for some unknown reason in the last couple of days, my pc will not allow my son to play any one his games, ie, Thrillville of the Rails, Tornado Alley, MS Flight Simulator, also none of the 3D microsoft screen savers are working. I have not downloaded anything, nor do I have a virus. I did a restore to an earlier time which is a real pain, because I have to un-install Norton to be able to do this, but everything was ok again, but then again this am we are right back where we started.

    - Favourites in Windows Explorer - IE and Windows I find it irritating that the Favourites in Windows Explorer also include my Internet Explorer Favourites - I do a lot of jumping between files and directories and want to find them easily, without having to look at a mass of irrelevant links. I mean, I can't see the point of having Internet favourites in with Windows directory favourites. It's extremely rare that I would need to jump directly from a directory to an internet link. Either I'm doing one type of work or the other - internet or file sorting. I checked the "Folder Options" in windows Explorer and there doesn't appear to be any option relevant to this. Of course, the option might have to be to stop using Explorer all together and go back to Firefox! I'd be grateful for tips... Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875311

    - Cursor Movement Not Smooth I am working on WinXP Pro (SP2) with 160GB HDD, 512MB RAM & P4 2.8GHz. Today while working, suddenly there was a long system beep (it's the same beep sound that can be heard when the computer is started but the RAM chip is not properly fitted in its slot). WinXP didn't generate any error but since then I find that whenever I start WinXP, as soon as the desktop comes, my computer generates a long beep. Also when I use the keyboard Left/Right arrow & Up/Down arrow keys to scroll horizontally & vertically respectively in any text editing software (like NotePad, MS-Word etc.), the cursor movement isn't smooth. If you navigate to Tools-->Internet Options in IE & then go to the Advanced tab, one of the checkboxes say "Use smooth scrolling". If this checkbox is unchecked & you use the keyboard Up/Down arrow keys to scroll a web page by keeping the key pressed continuously (i.e. not release the press in between), the scrolling won't be smooth i.e. the scrolling would seem to stop for a nano-second & then continue. This is how the cursor moves in text editing softwares now. In other words, the horizontal & vertical scrolling using the keyboard Left/ Right arrow & Up/Down arrow keys respectively isn't smooth in text editing softwares. I find this very irritating & annoying. This wasn't the case earlier when the cursor used to move smoothly while using the keyboard Left/Right arrow & Up/Down arrow keys. What could be the problem? Please note that neither did I install/uninstall any hardware (from WinXP Control Panel or motherboard) nor did I install/uninstall any software. Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875308

    - Installed PRO: Stretched images, Wifi gone. Card slot not working I had to replace a hard drive in my Dell E1505. Installed PRO. Several issues: 1. My cursor moves to random areas while typing every couple seconds... usually somewhere earlier in the current sentence Im typing. (It will take forever to type this cuz it moves so often.) 2. Only given 2 options for screen resolution. (800 x 600 and 1024 x 768). I used to have 3 options. Everything including desktop and all web browsers are "stretched" and looks horrible.

    - Remind me - how do I set up a workgroup (or domain?) in WindowXP? Hi Can anyone remind me how to create a domain (or workgroup??) in WindowsXP Pro OEM ? (apologies for dumb question!) Background I have a laptop that I want to use at work and at home, sharing a switch. At home I have another PC that I want to be able to share data between it and the laptop. I was hoping that I could simply set up domains with the same name in both locations and with the same password. That way I am hoping that I could take my laptop home without re-booting it and just plug it in to the Ethernet cable at home and away ya go. However, from memory you need to own Windows server to set up a real domain... so could I just set up a Workgroup with the same name and pw and would that work? Either way how the heck do I create a workgroup (or domain) on my PC? With thanks Ship Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875177

    - Bluetooth mouse no longer pairing I purchased a new Bluetooth mouse for use w/ my laptop. It was working initially. However, since updating the Bluetooth stack in order to use my Bluetooth headset, I have been unable to re-pair the mouse w/ my laptop. I do not believe that the problem is w/ the software; the headset works as expected, and I was able to verify that a different (borrowed) mouse paired w/ no problems. I am unable to use System Restore to return to my previous configuration, as company policy mandates that this feature be disabled on all systems. When trying to pair the mouse, the system is able to recognize the mouse and will prompt for the passkey (PIN). However, after entering the passkey supplied, I receive the error message: â??Detection of service failedâ??. I am wondering if the mouse is possibly still paired to the previous Bluetooth stack, and will not release that pairing. I have looked for some sort of reset button, but have been unable to locate one. I have tried taking out the batteries to force a reset. -------------------------------------------------- Dell Latitude D620 w/ -------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Version 2002) SP2 -------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 -------------------------------------------------- Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba Version v4.00.22 (D) Bluetooth Specification Version 2.0, 1.2, 1.1 -------------------------------------------------- Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875171

    - Two PCs Started "Freezing Up" I've got two PCs side-by-side and sometime in the last month or so they've both started acting goofy. The main symptom seems tb that they cannot be shut down. Ctl-Alt-Del will not bring up TaskMan, and some applications cannot be close. Windows pops the "Not Responding..." dialog, but telling it to close the app now doesn't do anything. In the end, both PCs have to have the AC power cord pulled for a cold start. When the first one started this, I re-imaged it with a known good system. No luck. I had been thinking that there was some hardware problem on the first PC to start acting up... but the second one started and I had to wonder. Windows auto-updates are tuned on for both PCs. Anybody else see this in the past couple months. -- PeteCresswell Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875168

    - Profiles removed from Windows XP on logoff We just moved from NT 4 to AD (Server 2003). I have a few users that, when they log off, their profiles are removed from the computer. The behavior seems to be linked to moving their accounts from the administrators group locally into the power users group via domain users. Not everyone is affected. In fact, most are not, but I'm not certain about reconfiguring local permissions on the remainder of my workstations because I've lost several profiles from this 'bug'. I've thought about deleting and re-creating the user accounts, but that's a hassle... Any other ideas? Tag: preferences revert after shutdown Tag: 1875049

I have a machine that loses several preferences after a shutdown and
restart. Examples are screen resolution, IE window size, and some
application preferences.

The settings survive a warm reboot, but not a complete shutdown.

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
