    - System Restore disabled on reboot I am running XP Home with SP3. I have a problem that existed before installing SP3.. When I rebooot the PC and goto System restore, I get the prompt that tells me that SR has been turned off. I go to the SR screen and enable it, create a restore point and it all works fine. When I reboot the PC, SR gets switched off somehow and it goes back to the SR turned off message. I have inspected logs using event viewer and after reboot their is an entry " Event 116 System Monitoring disabled on reboot". This happens every time I reboot. Any ideas appreciated Tag: Windows XP and Zune Tag: 324123

    - CMOS after changing mobo battery Ok, I found out all I needed to do was to change the 3 volt 2032 motherboard battery and all would have been ok. Instead I reseated the RAM sticks, changed the power supply, changed the video card, changed the IDE parallel straps, changed the monitor, changed the hard drive, and finally took out the motherboard and removed the heatsink and fan asembly off the CPU chip and checked the chip out. After all that it turns out the reason the PC stopped working was the little 3 volt battery on the motherboard. It worked again for a little while, maybe a day after I changed the monitor. Just like a flashlight that is going dead, after you sit it for a while the next day you will get some power and it will work for a while and then dim out. Tell tail signs of battery failure. By accident I was checking this new battery checker device that I bought from Home Depot and I needed batteries to check to see if the settings worked and found out the battery wasn't working. Ok, now lets get to the CMOS. There is a CMOS jumper on the motherboard that I see. What do I need to do to the jumper or do I need to physically do anything on the mobo or just go into BIOS and configure something there? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    - Drive mapping syntax I use logon scripts to map drives for select users. Is there a way I can format what the user sees? I don't want the actual drive letter or path to show up in Explorer, just the folder/mapped drive name. I know I can do this if I map it manually, but want to continue to use logon scripts.

    - Safe Mode Problem I am using windows XP SP3 via a disc on a PCI card. Whilest this boots and loads perfectly happily in normal mode, it fails to load in Safe Mode. Is there anything I can do to get safe mode working via this card? It is not necessary at the moment, but perhaps in the future? PS I notice that there is a driver associated with this card called "iteraid.sys". Tag: Windows XP and Zune Tag: 324091

    - old update problem? XP Pro SP 2 I just looked over my update log and found one failure from some time back, altho I didn't see a failure notice at the time. That was Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (JB928366}. On Microsoft I saw that quite a few people had that problem, and the solution was to download it manually (address given) and install it manually. With Framework 2 installed in the intervening time, should I or should I not download and try to install the old failed update? Would installing the old update backlevel something so that I would need to reinstall Framework 2?

    - USB Port not working in XP IBM Netvista, latest BIOS, XP-P with latest patches/updates. Symptoms appear on SP2 as well as SP3. All of a sudden I lost my USB Ports on the computer. I think it happened because of a power failure, but not sure. I hear the pacifier beep in the speaker when connecting my mouse or thumb drive, however, neither responds. the mouse LED lights, but cursor remains in the middle of the screen. I don't have a USB keyboard so I can't test the USB connection during BOOT. I suspect it will work. The mouse will not be recognized until the OS loads. The thumb drive makes the same beep, but I never see it displayed as a removable drive or any drive for that matter. The PS2 mouse works just fine. Using a USB to PS2 adaptor does not work either. Any ideas?? I'm stumpbed on this one. The MSKB isn't of any help so far. Thanks Tag: Windows XP and Zune Tag: 324065

    - Battery failure Would your computer stop working all of a sudden one day if the motherboard battery, the 2032 organize battery I think, stops working? The computer worked when I changed the monitor but then it stopped working shortly after that. Then it didn't matter what monitor I tried, it just wouldn't fire up. I checked everything almost, reseated the RAM, checked the power supply, tried another video card, checked the hard drive, used different parallel straps. I mean I went through all I could think of, except the motherboard battery. By accident I discovered that it wasn't working. Do you think that could be the problem? Is that a common problem of a PC going on the blink? Would it start up after a rest and then finally shut down? It seems like the battery on my flashlights get better once they aren't on, but once you turn the flashlight back on, the flashlight dims out. I'm thinking about putting the whole PC back together now and trying out a battery that I know works. Ok, this is the truth. I took out the battery and changed it with another one and I think the one I changed it with was bad. I'm not sure, but I know I did change the battery. I was trying out my battery tester and found out the right option on the tester to test 3 and 1 1/2 volt batteries. So, I'm not sure if the original battery I took out was good or bad. That's why I'm asking if it's a common problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, attilathehun1 -- attilathehun1 Tag: Windows XP and Zune Tag: 324050

    - Mouse problem I have been searching for a couple of days but am so unsure if I am doing the right thing, I am posting here. I am trying to play "80 days around the world" and when I do, my cursor shakes, I have reinstalled both the nvidia graphics and the video drivers, uninstalled the game, and manually removing the game folder and also software entries in both hkey machine and hkey user. I also did a search for the game on my computer and deleted everything that came up by that name. Then reinstalled the game, but still my cursor is shaking. I thought it could be my driver for my mouse but the mouse seems to be working ok otherwise . I went to device manager and found that it is listed as a Microsoft ps/2 mouse, ? but know it is a microsoft optical! , $14 at OFFICE max..:) I cannot find my mouse drive, the one that came with the mouse. Windows XP SP3 I think the game started to act up after I installed SP3.. I didn't have a good install, tried to use system restore to remove and start over, but it would not work for me. Any help appreciated as always.. thanks Rainy Tag: Windows XP and Zune Tag: 324009

    - Beed Help - Folder Permissions I am using the so-called Solutions Center for the HP 7200 series AIO, and cannot get the scan function to save what I scan. It shows an error message saying that it cannot do the save. I am using XP PRO SP2. I had created a new folder called c:\My Scans, but I notice the properties say read only. Naturally, I suspect this is my problem, but when I remove the check on read only, it comes right back again. That is, it won't let me remove the check. The XP Helps show that I should be able to change permissions, but it shows doing it via a security tab under the folder's properties. I see no such tab. What am I missing? Am I in the right place to do what I want to do? Do you think this is why I cannot save what I scan? I am the only user of this system with Administrator privileges, I think.

No problem: If this is a Microsoft product, and labelled to work
under (your variety of) WinXP, and it does not work, you ought
to get a refund PDQ.
