    - Autoplay Feature has Stopped Working The autoplay feature seems to have stopped working on a computer. Autoplay is enabled for all drives including the fixed drives (according to Tweak UI). No matter how I confugure Properties->Autoplay nothing happens when the drive is "activated" - i.e. a DVD is inserted or a camera's plugged in, or a removale disk is attached. If I configure the optical drive to start WMP when a DVD is inserted nothing happens, if I configure it to offer a range of options nothing happens. This used to work I'd insert a DVD and WMP would play it. Same thing with my camera, it used to bring up the camera and scanner wizard - this does not happen any more, nor do I get a range of options. In other words the whole Autoplay feature seems to have stopped working. The OS/Version is XP-Home SP2 - according to Windows Update the only missing updates are SP3 and Silverlight, it's hard to believe that either of those would fix the problem.

    - Making an XP reinstallation disc It used to be that manufacturers supplied a copy of Windows that you could use to reinstall the OS in case it got messed up. That seems to have gone out of style. My IBM ThinkCentre desktop has a hidden hard-drive partition with the files needed to reinstall XP. But what if the hard-drive goes bad after the warranty is expired? It looks like I lose the XP license. It seems unreasonable. So I want to make a CD or DVD that would reinstall XP---not backup all my documents---I would make a separate backup of my own data. I just want to be able to restore the OS to a clean state starting from an optical disc just as people used to do with the OEM reinstall disc. How can somebody do that?

    - task bar and more disappeared Ok i know that this is an easy fix- but i dont remember the remedy. My task bar, quick launch, and the entire blue bar that is supposed to be at the bottom of the desktop, vanished. I went to properties and the enable quick launch (for exam) was already checked. I redid it anyway, and still no luck. I figure it will return when I restart pc. but in the event that it doesnt, what can i try. Plus How can i prevent from this happening again.thanks in advance.

    - help, access denied I had a motherboard crash. Putting together a new machine. Inxtalled XP Pro on a new hard drive in the new machine. All fine. Then moved the old hard drive to the new machine with all the data and files. For some reason, I can't access some files I need. Like the database from Clipmate or any files under the identity of the administrator of the old machine, which is the same as the new one. Is there a way to get past whatever it is that's stopping me. The error is 'access denied,' etc........ Is there a hack that can get me into my own files??? I had stored passwords etc where i thought they would be safe, but with the motherboard dying, they are a lot safer than I needed.........Appreciate any suggestions......thanks..

    - Deleting Windows/ uninstall files for updates. In the Windows/ folder there are many files with scarey names like $ntServicePackUninstall$ and $NtuninstallKB885836$. Most of them are a year or more old. I understand that they are needed if you want to uninstall an update. I recently installed SP3, which went off flawlessly (to my delight). I understand that SP3 includes all the prior updates. Does this mean that I can safely delete all those files except the one for SP3? What about SP1 and 2, are they also included in SP3? Is it okay to delete SP 1 and 2? Most of the files are listed in blue, which I understand means that they are compressed. Do you delete a compressed file the same way you delete a regular file? If it's not a good idea to delete them, is there some way I can hide them so they don't display when I open the Windows/ folder? I have lots of space on the HD, so I don't really have to delete them.

    - Can I edit what's displayed in the "Type" column of Details view? Somewhere along the upgrade path Irfanview not only assigned itself to open almost all image files but started changing what they're called in the folder details view, from JPG to "Irfanview JPG File", BMP to "Irfanview BMP File", etc. Apart from the effrontery of the act, it also means I have to keep that column 9 letters wider than I'd like, sheer wastage since I can already tell it's an "Irfanview ... File" by the little red logo attached in the name column. Where can I edit these back to display simply JPG File, etc? I've looked in Folder Options / File Types, and the files are all JPG File, etc. rather than the annoying "Irfanview xxx". (I do find the "Irfanview xxx" under Associated File Types if I want to define a new registered file type in the Create New Extension box. But that doesn't explain why, for instance, JPG shows as simply "JPG File" in Folder Options but "Irfanview JPG File" in the Explorer window itself.) And yes, I know I can set the Name column to include the full extension, but do like to have the Type column as well, for instance to sort by type or just as a cleaner visual cue.

    - McAfee For several years I had the entire Norton secuity system installed on my computer and I removed it because it made everything work slower. Then I had the free AVG anti-virus program on but was afraid that it was letting certain things in. So, recently, I put on the entire McAfee plan which was free from my high-speed internet provider. But things seem a little slower with it, but only at times, such as when I have several Internet Explorer windows open and many tabs open on, as well as several programs running. In your experience, is this slowness due to McAfee? It's not as bad as with Norton...but it is slower than if I didn't have McAfee at all. Any solutions to this slowness?

    - Svchost.exe generating problems - PC is hanging - have to reboot Hi On our network with about 25 PCs (all with XP SP2 (one with SP3 - also has problem)), some of the PCs have problems with Svchost.exe. The error message they get is: "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". If I look into the error signature details I find: szAppName: svchost.exe szAppVer: 5.1.2600.2180 szModName: TSP5.tsp szModVer: 5.0.980.0 Offset: 0000e203 After the report has been sent to Microsoft the PC is hanging and the PC must be rebooted. Before sending the report you can continue working on the PC (leave the error message on the desktop) The strange thing is that the PCs some time stops with the error message at the same time. I have searched out Exchange/File server to se if there was any related error messages, but I can't find. I have disabled "Windows update" on two of the PCs without any result. (Have manually run Windows update to be sure they are up to date). I have also installed SP3 on one of the PCs, and still that PC has problems. The PCs has been scanned with Windows Defender, Trend Micro Anti virus, and Spybot S&D. No problem can be found. I have searched the Internet without find any solution. Some products are advertising for "solving all svchost.exe problems" (True Sword). I am not sure if I can trust the product (True Sword), as it for me is not a known product. Please let me know if you have any suggestion on how to proceed. Thanks Harald Tag: re installing xp pro Tag: 323694

    - slipstreaming a bootable WinXP installation CD I made a backup of my WinXP installation CD by simply copying the files off into a folder and then onto a CD. This turned out to be the wrong way because the process didn't put any boot files onto the CD. I need desperately to reinstall or access the Recovery Console but unfortunately I have misplaced the original installation CD so I cant boot from CD. Since I have got all the installations files on the CD I copied , is it possible to slipstream the boot files and make a bootable CD? How do I go about it? Which boot files are needed?

    - Computer never goes into standby My Dell computer has Windows XP Pro. My problem is that when I specify a standby time with: Desktop, Properties, Screensaver, Power, the computer never obeys these durations and never goes into standby. The screen saver works fine, and the time I select does'nt influence my problem (whether longer or shorter than standby time). I had a look into the registry, and I found this: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\0] "Name"="Home/Office Desk" "Description"="This scheme is suited to most home or desktop computers that are left plugged in all the time." 0 01 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 8 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [snip] Is there any documentation anywhere about the meaning of these numbers?

    - Automating details view? A year ago for several months, I followed all the instructions on fixing getting details view in Windows XP pemanently but nothing works reliably. I've followed instructions on new computers that I've gone to when I go to new job contracts and there is no permanent fix. If setting it the first time doesn't work the first time, it usu. never works at all permanently and I have to reset to details view every single new reboot. s'okay. I've learned to live with it somewhat as one of the stupid little XP flaws can't work around (and, yes, followed ALL the instuctions given in this ng and from other places.) I've gotten around this XP flaw by using WE replacement. The difficulty lies in that scripts I don't want to change use WE first. To this end, I'm trying to find a way to automate setting details view on boot up. This fresh install around I'm not even getting the usu. minimal co-operation with XP and I seem to have to reset periodically, not even just upon reboot. I'm hoping for a vb script _or_something_ that will do this reset for me as I've lived with the reboot problem for a long time but can't stand that now I don't even have this. I'd just put the solution in my startup folder so that at least I'll have to do this less often. Too bad I rely on my folder scripts so much, but there you go ... Is there anything that can help with this? Again, I followed _every_ single line of instruction given in this ng and in other places over a period of several months and this is just one of those things that isn't reliably fixed. As I mentioned above, if the setting works the first time, it will work always, but if after a reboot XP reverts back to the default view, I have to reset after each reboot always. And watch out if you change the setting! It seems to be a one-time only deal, as I found to my cost. So no longer looking to fix the XP flaw, looking to automate setting folder view to details view on each reboot instead. Can this be done somehow? Thanks! :oD Tag: re installing xp pro Tag: 323622

    - Themes keep changing Starting a few months ago, whenever I reboot my computer (XP Home) it starts up with 'My Favorite Theme' loaded, then at some point in the startup it reverts to 'Windows XP (Modified)', causing me to have to bring up the properties and set it back to 'My Favorite Themes'. Not earth shattering, but still an annoyance. Additionally, sometimes (not always) the Sound Theme and Pointer Themes also revert back to some generic theme. If anyone has a 'cure' for this I will be grateful. Tag: re installing xp pro Tag: 323620

    - Multiple Drive letters per partition I have two drives 500Gb each - identical I have multiple partitions on each for future OS's and data areas. I just noticed that some of the partitions on the second drive have several letters assigned to them in the left column of my File managers This system is only about 2 months old. The primary drive (the one with my daily XP64 in the first partition ) has only one letter per partition C-D-E and F My sole DVD player is assigned G The secondary drive (where there is a test version of XP64 on the primary partition) has H and H again - primary partition F and I - on next partition Shows up as I:\ when selected G and J - next shows up as J :\ when selected to display H and K and K - next shows up as K:\ I and L next shows up as L:\ when selected M - next N - next So there are no conflicts in the access only in the listing of these letters after the Volume name in the left column.... and the assignments are operationally sequential These may have appeared at anytime in recent weeks - I do not use them (I use M as my sole data partition till now) and so have not paid much attention until I just decided to begin using a second data partition - and looked closer at what I had to pick from. The only clue I have to this behavior -- is just recently I went from running exclusively from the default Admin Logon - to creating a second admin account (new name) and when i realized i lost acccess to all my settings and tweaks in the default I copied as much as i could from the default Admin folder to the new folder (not sure i got everything that would copy but most - except items that were "in use" and couldn't be overwritten) Not sure if this is the cause of this but i would like to clear this up.

    - Folders reverting to default format Lately it seems that when I open a folder, it often comes up not in the format (size, choice of 'View') it had before closing but in some kind of generic size and showing Tiles (never a choice I use!). Not a big deal on a case by case basis, but it's happening increasingly and often enough to be a nuisance .. plus it seems a possibly worrisome symptom. Possibly related -- occasionally when opening a document in Wordpad it will open in a landscape format, with several inches of blank to the right of the right margin, rather than the more portrait-shape display with window squeezed down to the margins that I always adjust it to. This has been happening sporadically "forever". Tag: re installing xp pro Tag: 323611

I have to reinstall drivers to get it back again and the sound works fine. Something in Xp is deleting that driver every time. Any help please Tag: re installing xp pro Tag: 323601

    - Adding a second hard drive I've almost filled up my computer's built-in hard drive. I'd like to add a second one to store my music and movies, but I want to power up this second hard drive only when I want to watch a movie. Is there an approved way to add such a drive; anything I should look for in choosing it? IOW, how do I do this? Thanks, Norm Strong Tag: re installing xp pro Tag: 323575

Hi can you reinstall xp pro and save all your infomation l ike 98 it would
just reinstall it and all your drivers information programs would be still on
the reinstalled copy.

Do nothing until you've backed up any files you don't want to lose. While a
repair installation of XP should preserve your data and installed programs,
there's no guarantee. That said, take a look at these two articles for more
info.

Yes. It is called a Repair Install.

No. There is something called a "repair installation," but it's not
the same thing as reinstalling. It may solve some problems, but leaves
others unchanged.
