    - Reinstallation of xp I was wondering why when I put the Windows XP installation disk into my Compaq Evo N800c I get the message that tells me it can not proceed because Vista is installed on it. In order to install my LEGAL Vista OS, I had to increase RAM from 256MB (which was in the computer when I purchased it) to 1GB. Then I was successful in installing Vista, no problems. But can anyone tell me how to either re-install XP, or make my computer able to run both XP and Vista (Dual Booting, I think it's referred to as). I want to know too, if it is possible to make a backup copy of the OS installation disk for future use if the need arises. -- Geoff Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322840

    - Scanner is not listed For several years, I have a Canon scanner and printer installed. Both work fine. However, some of the image editors could not "find" this scanner on my system. In Device Manager, under the Imaging Devices only Logitech Cam is listed. Under ports - Communication port (com1) and ECP Printer Port (LPT1) are listed. There is no question mark or warning anywhere. May someone please tell me how to make this scanner "visible" for all imaging programs. -- Ilya Zeldes Fort Myers, Florida Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322834

    - Dishwasher Safe Keyboards and Mice Just sharing some info I came across the other day. If you are like me, having a cup of coffee, soft drink or even a glass of wine and a Boscotti there is a good chance some or all will end up on the keyboard. Unless you use one of those plastic keyboard covers (I presently do) the keyboard is kaput if a spill occurs. Well, now there is available a dishwasher safe (and germ free) keyboard and mouse for those oops moments. Take a look here: http://www.sealshield.com/ P.S. I got my present keyboard in 1991 with a Micron Computer and on my second keyboard cover; next keyboard will be a Seal Shield, me thinks. I have no connection with Seal Shield or do I sell anything; I'm retired and devote my spare time to an Asus shopbuilt computer. -- Don - Vancouver, USA "May your shadow be found in happy places." - Native North American Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322814

    - MS Windows LiveOne Scanner: Uses Only IE, or others? I have a Dell Dimension 3000 and run XP SP2. I wanted to have a safe browser now that MS is shutting down XP support and got both Opera and Firefox, and I like to use the LiveOne Scanner also. I should say this is the "on-demand-internet scanner", not the whole OneCare Security suite. I find that the scanner does not like Opera and Firefox and states it is not supported by these browsers. Is this normal, or a bug? Is LiveOne Scanner supported by any other browser than buggy old IE? Thanks and best! Robb Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322810

    - Problem with .mov clip on dvd disk. Someone gave me a DVD disk with several mov movie clips. Under WXP PRO SP2, when I double click on any of the mov files to play it, I get an error message saying it wants Quicktime, which I do not have, and it bombs. I do have VLC media player v0.8.6, and it will play the clip when I open the clip explicitly via VLC's 'open file'. The same thing happens when I use 'open with' for the clip, and I choose VLC over Quicktime. However, although I tell XP to remember (!) that I want to use VLC for all mov files, when I double click on the mov clip, XP chooses Quicktime again. And it bombs again. In other words, XP doesn't seem to remember that I want it to use VLC for mov files, at least when said mov file is on a disk. Interestingly, when I copy a mov file from the DVD disk to hard disk and double click on the mov file there, VLC is selected by XP to play it, and it plays fine. Under VISTA, none of this happens, VLC is selected to play a mov clip when I double click on a mov file on the DVD disk. Can someone suggest what the problem is here?

    - faulty drivers? I built my PC from a kit of parts and installed an OEM copy of XP. At the same time I bought a Wireless Optical Desktop set. I had some early problems getting the PC up and running, but it is now 98% good. The two problems remaining are these. The keyboard/mouse will not install no matter what I try. They work fine on another PC, so are not faulty. The other possibly related problem is with a USB SIM card reader which also will not install.

    - Can't disconnect USB disk XP Pro SP2, 512M, Pentium M I have an external hard drive connected through the USB port. When I click on the icon in the taskbar and tell it to disconnect the drive so that I can unplug it I receive a message that the drive is busy, try again later. Waiting until later changes nothing. When I hibernate, unplug it then start up it tells me it cannot find the drive's MFT (e:\$mft) What setting can I change to make it so that I can safely unplug the drive either with the taskbar icon or by hibernating and unplugging while the machine is dormant?

    - How to associate files to the correct application ? In windows XP, I removed a partition from my hard drive and then replaced the files that had been in the partition. All applications run fine, except all file associations to their programs have been lost. For example: clicking jpg files no longer opens my graphics program clicking pdf files no longer opens Acrobat. I have tried in the context menu 'open with' but the dialog will not add the icon of my graphics program and will not open the file in the graphics .exe that I browse to. I have tried Tools> Folder options> File Types but I cannot change the association to the selected file. I have deleted the file from File Type and replaced it as a new file type but still the association cannot be made. Is there a way to associate my files with their proper applications ?

    - Quick Launch The Help & Support Center advises to add icons to quick launch by draging them from "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer". Unfortunately, I couldn't find the IE "Blue E" or the OE "Envelope" anywhere in those two locations. They're in the Start Menu, but they won't drag and drop from there (there's a black circle with a slash through it over the icon when this is attempted). The answer is probably easy, but I'm stumped.

    - Does Windows XP Home allow me to restore the previous version of an overwritten file? I thought it was possible to go to older versions, but I don't remember how. After a virus infection, I had to reinstall windows. Fortunately my internet explorer's well developed bookmark file was on a second drive.

    - activation in dual boot system I bought a computer (Compaq) with XP preinstalled. Now I installed a second XP (Japanese) making the system dual boot. When I start the second XP, it asks to activate it through either internet or telephone. Because the Ethernet adapter has not been installed in the second OS, I am naturally unable to connect. Telephone option is not available because the number to call will be given through internet. Compaq did not supply CD for OS or motherboard drivers (ethernet, video, audio), so I cannot install drivers for the ethernet before OS starts.(Windows apparently does not seek ethernet until OS is loaded.) Normally as I understand, XP starts without activation and then asks to activate immediately or later. This time for reasons I do not understand the first screen is the so-called activation wizard asking for immediate activation without options. Can anyone tell what is the solution?

    - "Wubi-Linux" tutorials please, Linux advice please Hi all; I am part of the MS Windows XP diaspora, i see the end coming and am looking for alternative Operating Systems. At present I run MS Windows XP and sure like it but I am feeling it will not be a secure OS in a few months. I tried to download the Linux "application-OS" named Wubi. FYI, it purports to be the entire Ubuntu OS confiigured as an application and it supports MS Windows XP, purportedly. So why the caveats and purportedlies? When I downloaded Wubi, first it took FOREVER, about nine hours to download, although, thank God, it was not a heavy application and I could use another tab to surf the web at the same time. Second, I never got it to work. When i rebooted, yes, I got the opportunity to go into Ubunbtu, but there was some message (sorry, fool-me, I did NOT jot it down) about RAD drivers being missing. Conclusion: can someone show me a tutorial to get Wubi up and running, so i can see whether Ubuntu is for me. You know, I want to see if it is comfortable for me. ALSO: important: if someone can show me a form of Linux which "feels" like Windows a little, so i am not too stressed to use it, i would like a little advice-education. Do you understand? I want a tutorial for Wubi and advice on the most Windows-like Linux. Thank you for patiently bearing with me and Very Best! Robb Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322677

    - XP Basic -vs- Pro With the basic XP software, when you enable your PC to share files on the network there is no password required from the other network machine. With Vista, one must be logged into the sharing Vista machine from the remote machine to gain access to the files. How does XP Pro work in this regard? I'm trying to figure out what version of XP to get to replace the &^%$ Vista that my machine came with. I only have experience of the old XP Basic, but I'd consider the Pro version if it had password control on the network sharing like Vista does. Thanks. Bill Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322667

    - Windows XP freezes on startup Hi, I have recently performed a fresh install of Win XP professional. I did everything perfect from scratch i.e. long NTFS format first prior to installing Windows. After this I installed the following applications: Norton 360, Easy CD Media Creator 10, Mozilla Firefox, Limewire. The PC worked okay for a day or so. But today in the morning I tried to boot it and it froze straight after I logged in. I attempted to boot the PC 3 or 4 times after and it was freezing up prior to the login screen. Eventually I logged in and noticed the following error in event viewer: "The SessionLauncher service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the path specified" I clicked on the link for more information and in the file name it referenced "netevent.dll" and under source it referenced "Service Control Manager" I am totally confused as this is a fresh install.

    - About the clone thing I saw a thread here asking whether you could clone a system to another drive. From what I could see, there was no discussion of actual cloning. On another OS I used I could do a true clone of the disk at any time onto another disk and boot that disk at will. Is the discussion of other methods based on a fact that there is no such thing as a true clone utility available or does micro$oft put in special killer programs designed to detect cloning and destroy any attempts to move to a bigger drive?

    - Standard User Logoff Demand Re-Boot Hi all, I'm seeing a very strange problem that's forcing me to re-boot after a Standard user logs off. Here's the situation: I have an XP Pro, SP2 machine. This is a stand-alone machine (no domain involved). There are two Standard Accounts (S1 and S2) and one Administrative Account (A1). After S1 or S2 logs off, the machine needs to be re-booted before *anyone* else can log on. Every time S1 or S2 logs off, no one else can log on. This weird behavior does not occur after A1 logs off. Now, what do I mean by, "needs to be re-booted"? After XP boots up (or after a user logs off) I see the standard screen that lists all user accounts with separate password fields next to each user name. Well, after S1 or S2 logs off, the cursor cannot be moved to any of these password fields. It is impossible for the next user to enter a password! This is why I have to re-boot. Does anyone have an explanation for what might be causing this? Thanks -- Tom Baxter Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322635

    - Re-Installation of XP Media Cener 2005 I have an eMachine, purchased from Best Buy 2 years ago. The computer came with XP Media Center 2005 pre-installed. I got a certificate but no XP disk, instead they provided a disk labeled "eMachine Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 System Recovery CD/DVD" "Use this disk to re-install your operating system" and WARNING: The recovery process erases all data files from the hard drive" My eMachine has crashed. The Geek Squad guys diagnosed a dead hard drive. They're removed the hard drive and shipped it to Geek Squad Central in hopes of them being able to recover all my data from the drive. I've purchased a new hard drive to replace the dead one since the diagnosis found no other problems.

    - why can't I see the printer from a workgroup Laptop on a domain PC? I have a laptop that is part of a Workgroup. I have a PC that belongs to my domain. I have a printer shared on the PC. The laptop can't see the printer on the PC. Other PCs can see the printer on the PC. The laptop can see printers on other PCs on the domain, but not the printer on this PC. If I use the wizard to add a printer and type in the path \\PC\Printer, I'm prompoted for a use name and password. I've tried entering my domain admin password and it tmes out saying it can't connect. I turned off the Firewall on both the PC and the laptop. Still no luck. In the wizard it will show me the domain and let me drill to the PC, but it won't let me drill into the PC to see the printer. I drilled into another PC on the domain and could see the printer, and was able to connect to the printer just fine. Didn't prompt me for a password or anything. I also enabled the Guest account on the PC thinking that might help, but no luck. I'm out of ideas. Can someone help me out? Thanks Kelvin Tag: Windows Desktop Search Tag: 322608

As I am using the microsoft newsgroup server I thought that I would have
found a newsgroup for WDS but alas no. Thanks for the link to which I have
now posted.

My problem relates to not being able to deselect (untick) folders which are
being indexed. I get message saying that i need to change the folders
properties but my folders properties already shows that the folders are not
set to allow indexing.

I'm using WDS 4

regards,

Beemer
