    - TweakUI for XP Produces Registry Error I use TweakUI for XP SP 2, and I was having trouble keeping the folder settings. So, I opened the registry and looked at what TweakUI had entered. It was NOT the same as what Microsoft had recommended on their website. The numbers were correct and the placement were correct, BUT, where the correct way to have the entries is BagMRU Size, TweakUI has it entered it as Bag MRU Size - with a space inbetween the Bag and the MRU. After hand correcting this, my folders are now keeping their settings. Is there anyone else that has noticed this error, and if so, is there any way to advise Microsoft's TweakUI developers of this of this error in their program? Thanks!

    - How do I get pics to show "in order" in display/slideshow? I use My Pictures Slideshow as a screen saver; but can't seem to find how to get them to display 'in order'. Using old family pics, I have them named with date first, such as '1913-Mom&Dad', '1999-Susie' etc. They sort correctly in the folder, and if I use the slideshow function when viewing them, but in the Display/Screen Saver/Slideshow function, they show randomly. I've checked under Display functions within the Control Panel & I can't find anything to help. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions! Thanks so much. Tag: Administrator Signon Tag: 321297

    - XP speed question Looking for some ideas .... I am using XP Home w/ SP2 on a Dell w/ 1g ram on a 1.7 g P4. Computer is a Dimension 8200. I do have a fair amount of software on the machine - so the boot time & save settings time is long. It would be nice to speed that up - but I am tolerant of that problem. What would delay the opening of a window - or the saving of a file? It is pretty clear that the computer slows down at times. I am noticing it more now that I am using Dragon Naturally Speaking Pref 9. It takes an esxtraordinary amount of time to process and type the dictation. Other functions seem slow at times as well. I am using Norton as an antivirus program (2004) - and I have noticed that Norton can slow things down scanning a file. I am looking globally for reasons the machine is slow - not all the time - but on occasion. Another thing I noticce is there is hard drive activity after the desktop appears - and looks ready to go - and when I look at the task monitor - the usage is by normal things like explorer airsvcu - and svchost - etc. Would it make sense to create users for different kinds of use - would that prevent all of the drivers from being loaded (if that is the problem). Currently I have one user. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tag: Administrator Signon Tag: 321286

    - Hidden files in /Recycler New to XP (I have just been given a neighbor's discarded laptop) . . . 1. The Recyc Bin is called /Recycler -- is that right? 2. My / Recycler contains a (hidden directory) called NPROTECT containing 352 Mb of files, dated 2001 to 2006. Is it safe to delete the whole subfolder? 3. This laptop has no NTBACKUP modules and instead has routines called System Restore. Is this normal for laptops? (The two WinXP instal disks are in some proprietory format, one big file each, and I believe the online manual says their installation includes a reformat: this is why I don't think I should try to copy NTBACKUP from them: but perhaps I do not need to.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) Tag: Administrator Signon Tag: 321268

    - Sansa e280: Synch cable doesn't charge I've had my Sansa e280 for several months now, with no major issues. I just plugged the cable in to recharge the battery (it's at about 50%) and it's not being recognized. The OS doesn't show it as a removable drive like it usually does, the Sansa doesn't show that it's plugged in to a USB port and it's also not charging. As far as the Sansa and the OS are concerned, there's no cable at all. This is my work laptop, and I've charged with no problem in the past. The last time it worked was about 2 weeks ago. There may have been some updates to the laptop that I'm not aware of, but I know the USB port works because I had a flashdrive in it earlier this morning. Any ideas?

    - Weird boot problem Hi, I have an HP Pavillion DV9731CA laptop (DV9000 series). The laptop has Windows Vista Home Premium installed. 2 gig ram, 250 gig HD, Nvidia 8400 video card. I was installing a network drive (Mediagate player) and the laptop stopeed working. I am not sure it had anything to do with the installation of the drive. What is happening is that Windows is booting up, gets to the point where mouse pointer is visible, it says "please wait" and it keeps on going through this cycle, without the actual login screen. If I restart, I can get in via safe mode, but even there the explorer does not open up, so the only thing I can do is go ALT CTRL DEL and get to task manager where I can start a new task of Firefox or open a Window explorer window (which sometimes closes itself). I can connect to the internet, I can access the hard drive and run most applications, which are allowed by safe mode. What is important is that the drive exists, boots, is visible and accessible. I do no have the recovery disk, so I ordered it via HP site (will get it this week), but my other copies of XP and a modified Vista CD, if loaded, get to a point where they can be installed, but tell me that the hard drive is not visible. Same goes for a D with Ubuntu (Linux), it loads itself into memory, it can see that the hard drive is there, but does cannot access it. With an Ultimate boot CD, I can see the partition, can see the disk name and size, but cannot reformat it. I thought it was a problem with the HD, so copied everything from there to an external HD (so the data is there and it is accessible!), but replacing the HD with a new one did not help - it does not see the new HD and dos not allow me to install a new system (XP or Vista). So it is not a problem with the hard drive. I thought it could be that somehow in Vitsta the network hard drive I was trying to add affected the BIOS - which is my only real theory at this point, but I cannot flash the BIOS in Safe Mode, which is my only method of accessing the system at this point, and I do not know a manual way of updating/resetting the BIOS. The only place that I found to update my BIOS was an HP download page, that installs a Winflash utility, ut it tells me that it cannot run in safe mode. BIOS is accessible if I press F1 during start up, but it is very basic, not like the ones on older PCs - I cannot set master or slave drives, etc. I tried installing XP on an external USB drive, but it does not boot from there, even when I can tell the system to use USB - it reads the drive, but fails to load Windows. So here is my dilemma: Hard drive is there, but it is accessible only in safe mode, not through dos apps, or any other way. Bios can only be updated in real mode, but I can only boot in safe mode with limited capabilities. It seems that he problem is the BIOS settings as it is the only thing that keeps some settings after the hard drive is replaced. Any thoughts of advise? Any alternative ideas? Any thoughts on how to manually reset the BIOS? I read up and others had this similar issues int eh past with HP and other laptops and they said it was a result of an ptomatic update from Microsoft or HP, which is possible in case, as I do not know if the new network drive intallation was the actual cause of this.

    - Strange Boot Problem Just put this machine together and installed windows xp pro. MSI P4M80 Motherboard with sata. Installed a Western Digital 80GB Hard drive, 1GB of DDR2 memory. Board had integrated lan, video and audio. Before installing windows, entered bios and disabled sata since I am using an IDE drive. Windows installed fine but after completion when it was time to reboot I receive the following message: Boot from CD: Intel UNDI, PXE 2.0 (build 082) VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter v2.42 PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM Disk Boot failure, insert system disk and press enter I have gone back to BIOS and disabled the Other feature under boot sequence. I have tried disabling the onboard ethernet but the same mnessage appears. If I reset boot sequesnce to hard drive first, I get the same message. I believe hard drive is working properly because if I insert windows CD the machine will open to windows, and I have successfully installed other programs at that time. I have looked to see if there was some kind of PXE setting to disable in the bioas but none exists. Please ... any help would be greatly appreciated. -- kah Tag: Administrator Signon Tag: 321217

I also know that if you use msconfig in the run box, select /safeboot on the Boot.INI tab it lets you get into safemode so much easier on reboot.

    - Backed up My Docs, but discrepancy in number of files and total sp I have backed up My Docs by Copying and pasting to an external drive. However there is a discrepancy beween the original and the copy of around 24 megs and more importantly there are 2 files missing from the copy. I can't work out where the missing files are or should be, although I do notice that some folders have a very small discrepancy in "size" (but not "Size on disk"), but recopying them makes no difference. Any thoughts as to how I can determine what files might be missing, how I can find them, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Tag: Administrator Signon Tag: 321194

    - Lost IE and Outlook Express connection A friend suggested I look for help here. My internet connection drops out after about 15 mins if I don't keep refreshing or loading new pages or checking for new e-mail. Anything that doesn't need an internet connection keeps working fine on the computer. It's a new system running WinXP with all the patches. It was working fine until Sat. My ISP - Shaw - says the modem is fine and it is giving them no error messages. An ipconfig when the problem occurs shows a valid Shaw IP address. We deleted Winsock and rebooted but that didn't help either. I didn't install or activate anything for at least a couple of days before the problem occurred. I had a Linksys router (wired) installed but disconnected it because my ISP figured that was the problem. It wasn't. Haven't reconnected it yet. I'm running System Suite 8 and using their firewall and AV. But even if I disable both of those the problem still reoccurs. A reboot always solves the problem temporarily. Nothing else seems to. If I let IE hang for a while it returns the message that the web page can not be displayed. Sometimes I get an error saying windows can't find an IP address. If I use the repair option it still can't find an IP address. I took the CPU back (since it's new) and had the tech check everything. No hardware problems, no viruses they or I could find, nothing. And they couldn't reproduce the problem. But they are working off a network using a setup different from mine. I figured it was probably an XP corruption or glitch somewhere. And I read some other messages similar to this but they were about wireless networks or problems a bit different than mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    - Upgrade to XP Pro under a Volume License In the past we were purchasing PCs with Win XP Home (OEM) and upgraded our systems to Win XP Pro under a Volume License Agreement. Now, it seems that we will have to purchase XP Pro AND "upgrade" to Vista Business then "downgrade" to XP Pro. In either case we would have to spend roughly $100 per system (just for the OS) in order to stay legal. Is this true? Or, can we still buy systems with XP Home and upgrade them to XP Professional?

    - Help and Support not working I open H&S with Windows+F1, then type in my search "registry" (no quotes). The client area goes completely white and H&S becomes non- responsive; I have to kill it with Task Manager. This is repeatable: H&S comes up normally, but dies when I try to do a search. I did some googling and found Kelly's Korner #235, but it says "Restore H&S Service" and there's no explanatory text, just a registry file. Before applying a registry patch, even from a known site, I'd like to know that this is actually supposed to fix *this* problem with H&S and not some other problem, and I'd fee better with some explanation of what caused the problem so I don't do it agan.

    - Registry Virus Removal Software Review The latest statistics have shown that about 96% of computers have partially corrupted and other unsafe files on their hard drives which is the primary cause of operating system errors. You see, basically whenever you add and remove software from your computer your windows registry is prone to become fragmented and full of errors due to the constant changes in the configuration settings. This leads to a large amount of partially uninstalled program files still littered over your hard drive which causes the performance of your computer to decline severly. Failure to repair these problems can result in total system failure and the blue screen of death where you will no longer be able to access the operating system and will have to reformat your hard drive. Why Registry Errors Occur Registry errors occur mainly as a result of an excess number of unused entries in the system. As time passess and you utilise your computer more often you will add and remove software programs which leave residuals that will litter your hard drive and cause it to become slower. These partially uninstalled programs will take up memory usage and cause your pc to become sluggish. Spyware infections can also corrupt registry keys in which you may also have to make use of a spyware removal program to help the process....

    - Add/Remove Program Can't Remove an App I must have manually removed an old app (Sonic MyDVD - probably not supported in XP) but there's still an entry for MyDVD in the Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs list. I tried to remove it but a popup with the app name displayed: An installation support file could not be installed. The parameter is incorrect. KB310587 seemed to apply. I used regedit to locate the occurrence of MyDVD in the uninstall portion of the registry, exported it (for backup), then deleted the entry. I'm about to close regedit, reboot, and see if the undesired entry in the Add/Remove Programs list is gone. Does it sound like I've done the right thing? Also, I think I've deleted all residual folders and files on the HDD related to MyDVD, but there are several other occurrences of "MyDVD" in the registry. Is there anything to be gained by cautiously deleting these occurrences too? I never intend to try using this app again.

If I perform the same operation from an explorer window, for example C:\Docs and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs, right click on the folder and select "open" or "explore", the error does not occur.
