    - XP PC - bootup stuck at 1st bootup screen I have a PC that runs Windows XP that I have been using for a few years. It is custom built using an MSI 865GM3-LS motherboard and an Intel Pentium CPU. On booting up it now gets stuck at the first bootup screen which displays an MSI logo on the top left corner, and Intel Pentium Logo on the lower right corner and some text in the middle that reads "8Xtreme Series", "Performance, Durability, Stability", I have reset the CMOS by setting the jumper to reset it, but still have the same problem. Help!! What is wrong? Is the motherboard bad, is it the battery, what is it? Thanks!! Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330500

    - Guarding against file transfer errors between media Is there a way to ensure error-free file transfers between different media - especially between a computer and an external drive (USB2) ? Using such drives here it is sometimes found that some files (not any particular type) would be corrupt or damaged. This does not happen in any alarming proportions but does happen. At random and not confined to any particular machine or device. All drives checked out okay physically as well as in CHKDSK. Does the USB2 process itself include an error percentage, BTW ? Any insights would be highly appreciated. TIA. Avatar ------- Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330487

    - windows xp add hardware wizard stops with error code 10 Hi a friend booted up her computer this morning and the keyboard would not work. It is a ps2 type connection, purple plug. She went into device manager but it is not showing an entry for a keyboard but there is an unidentified entry. She tried updating the unidentified entry but it cannot find any drivers. She then went to control panel and ran the add hardware wizard but it stopped with an error code ten. Thinking the keyboard was faulty sheI unplugged it and tried running the add hardware wizard without the keyboard attached but still got the same error message. When she ran the keyboard icon from control panel on the hardware tab the window is blank. Any suggestions as to why the add hardware wizard will stop with an error even with no keyboard attached? I will be going to see her tomorrow and she is at present just using her mouse and the onscreen keyboard to try to solve this problem. I have no further info than I have already told you. Thanks, Tracy Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330486

    - Nic never working - Realtek 8139 I have a great problem on XP Pro Sp2. Notice: Hardware P4 dual and nic realtek 8139 fully working. Tested with any kind of Linux. No virus. No troyan. Tried sfc/scannnow and reinstallation over current XP starting from CD. I've tried everything, even started with UBCD4Win (avoiding the lock on hardware profiles in the registry) and deleting every reg entry I can found bounded to the nic, and every drivers present in the HD, inf, and even from .cab archive cache. I have disabled the nic, installed a new one, and I got the same problem again. I've serched hidden nic, but I don't see any other nic ( Tested various drivers, from the original bounded with the nic (and is for XP) to new realtek update of this year. NOTHING! Everytime I reinstall the nic/driver, everything seems OK, but finally XP says (sorry for traslation because my system is Italian located) that it can find a file. I don't know what file because it says nothing about this file. Every kind of driver i tested say that. Do you have any procedure to check every single step XP do to reach that bad result? A system to debug the problem step, by step finding why Xp end to that result? Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330484

    - Serious AUDIO DEVICE problem; due to sp2 Microsoft update install. Alrighty. I called Microsoft to get some help with my system restore. Was having some issues with it; it wasn't working. The first time I downloaded Windows XP SP2 from your website, my system restore disappeared. I called Microsoft, they connected to me, and within a couple of hours it was fixed. THEN, microsoft manually re-downloaded SP2 for me "AGAIN". As soon as we got off the telephone, I realized that my AUDIO DRIVER was no longer working. My drivers are all screwed up to no end. I cannot find any in my system that work and when I try to redownload them from TOSHIBA (I HAVE A SATELLITE), they are not updating or even redownloading properly. Microsoft did this to me and I don't have a CD, it was a floor model and I never got around to buying a restore disk. What Microsoft failed to realize is that TOSHIBA SATELLITES CANNOT BE UPDATED WITH SP2. I am not the only one with a TOSHIBA SATELLITE that has had this issue. A number of forums discuss this issue and even some of the greatest hackers out there cannot figure this one out (it seems easy to fix, but it is not). I believe there is something screwey with my registry too. Please help me, call me, connect with me, and fix your mistake. Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330476

    - Random crashes - please help? Hello, I was hoping someone in here could help me with a problem I've been having with my computer crashing. I'm not exactly sure when this all started, but it was well over a year ago (my computer is about 4 years old). About every 30 days or so my computer would just restart. I didn't think much of it since it only happened about once a month. But then it started happening more often. So I turned off the auto-restarts and started looking at the BSOD's and sending error reports to Microsoft. The BSOD's weren't always the same.. I'd get anything from DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PAGEFAULT_IN_A_NON_PAGED_AREA, or something else. And it's VERY random! Sometime I'll get a BSOD after 2 days.. sometimes in a week.. the longest I've gone without a blue screen is 42 days. A couple times the error report said that it was my anti-virus program causing the problem. The computer came with Norton AV 2000 installed. But when the subscription ran out.. I uninstalled Norton and installed Avast. Microsoft advised that I check services to see if I don't have two AV programs running at the same time. I have AVG Anti Spyware and Spybot S&D installed which are compatible with Avast. So that can't be the problem. I've also been told it might be a memory problem.. or a driver problem. The last BSOD said that the crash was caused by a device driver.. but how can I find out ~which~ driver? I looked at the event viewer and this is what was in it.. Event Type: Error Event Source: System Error Event Category: (102) Event ID: 1003 Date: 4/12/2008 Time: 1:33:01 PM User: N/A Description: Error code 1000000a, parameter1 00000004, parameter2 0000001c, parameter3 00000001, parameter4 804e1476. I've been researching this problem online for so long.. but can't seem to narrow down what the problem could be. Could anyone please help? I'm at wits end. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!

    - Any USB DOS mouse drivers (useful for some boot disks, etc)? (Before anyone asks: yes, I know there are a couple of DOS newsgroups on the microsoft server, but they are unpopulated (been "there" already). So I'm looking for that here, since I'm using WinXP, and this seems the best place to ask). I'm looking for a USB mouse driver for DOS access (for a new Dell without USB legacy BIOS support). Some boot disks use DOS, but I can't find any USB mouse drivers that work for me. I've been doing some research on the net, and in the Dell user forums, and know some such drivers do exist, but: 1. There is no legacy USB support "option" in my new Dell Windows XP computer's BIOS, but the "USB controller" option in BIOS is enabled, of course. 2. I've tried "usbmice" (with OCHI and UHCI drivers), and also DUSE, but none of them work on my PC with a simple optical mouse. Does anybody know of any others? 3. If a driver doesn't exist that will work on this PC, would it instead be possible to add some I/O card (or a PS/2 card) and get a PS/2 mouse instead, or something along those lines, to allow for mouse support (in these DOS boot disks, or other DOS apps)? Thanks, if anyone has any ideas! Bill Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330459

    - Device Manager questions I see two of the following in the Device Manager with yellow icons containing an "!" HID Non-User Input Data Filter The Properties/General and Driver tabs shows the same data for both of them. The General tab has the following info: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) I believe one is for the keyboard and one is for the mouse. Are these the code that for the extended keys on the keyboard and extended buttons on the mouse? Does it make sense that drive is the same for both of them? On the Details tab the strings are different. There is also a HID-compliant device entry in the Device Manager. What is this for? Also two USB Human Interface Devices. These last three do not have the ! icon attached. The reason I'm interested is that I can't get the extended keys to work on my laser keyboard 6000 v2. If I uninstall the devices I mentioned above and reboot, and press the volume control key while windows is starting, I get the volume icon on the screen for a little while. The Installed Wireless Device pops up followed by one (not two) Installed HID-Something, and the volume display fades away and further pressing the key will not bring it back. Any helpful suggestion would be appreciated. Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330446

    - The old "C" Drive replacement issue I've done it before - will do it again - and the age-old problem cannot be rectified by this old guy.... I want to replace my "C" (boot) drive with a larger/faster drive. First, I back up my stuff. I Install the new larger drive. I use every type of "copy" software known to mankind (this man anyway). I follow the directions - be it from MS, Seagate, Maxtor, 3rd party vendor, etc.... What do I wind up with? A "D" Drive that is bigger, faster - but hosed up, because all of the programs are looking for "C", of course! Reading the News Groups, all I see is, "You can't change the letter for the "C" drive". OK then - what does everybody else do, short of having to reinstall XP on the new drive, than reinstall all of the programs they own??? Thanks in advance from this grouchy old SOB.

    - Windows XP and Expresscards Hi, I've recently brought a laptop that has an Expresscard slot, which is the replacement for the old PCMCIA cards. I'm having some trouble using the card with the laptop and as part of the diagnostic process I thought I'd just check to make sure that XP supports the Expresscards. I've done some checking on the web, and I've found some documents from Microsoft's WHDC that mention Express cards and XP. So, I assume that XP can support Expresscards. The question I have is whether XP SP2 does actually support Expresscards? If it does then do I need any drivers, updates, or hotfixes beyond those contained in XP SP2? Thanks.

    - PC won't start. I have a Dell Dimension 2350 Desktop. I plugged in a new Mouse this morning, put the installation disk in and all was ok. Used the computer for a short while then switched off as normal. Remembered there was something else I wanted to do so switched Comp back on but no joy. The Screen stayed Black, the LED's by the Power Switch stayed off and the only light that came on was the one by the CD- Tray which flashes continuously. When I press the button on the CD the Tray only comes out part way or not at all. I tried switching Computer on and off again a couple more times but got the same negative result. If it's just that the CD Burner is knackered, why wouldn't the Computer boot up? If it is more serious than just the CD Burner, as the Computer is heavily used and about 5 years old, I'm assuming it probably isn't worth spending too much on? Any ideas what it might be? Thanks.

    - ThinkPad T61 XP - Power Cycle Problem Hi All, I've had two major problems with my T61 laptop since receiving it about 3 weeks ago. The biggest problem is that when I put it into any low power mode (mainly I use shutdown or standby), it continually exits the mode, then re-enters the mode until eventually the battery is dead. When I take my laptop home at night, I just continually hear it beep as it goes in and out of standby. My only solution so far has been to shutdown and remove the battery. The second, smaller issue has been that it will occassionally shut down on its own while I'm in the middle of using it. The PC just instantly turns off. This has happened about 4 times this month. Any one know why this might be happening? Thanks, TF Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330407

    - OT: Intel stock vs heatpipe cooler Sorry for being a bit off-topic but, surely there's lots of builders in here. I've built lots of boxes in the past and never really dabbled with "super" cpu coolers i.e. stock heatsink and fan always did a sufficient job. A few months ago I upgraded my faithful old XP2600 Barton Skt. A to a D935 Conroe cpu, on a "Conroe" motherboard, and during lots of digging on the web, at that time, noticed observations that the Pentium D's ran "hot" compared to others. My "D" core always idled at approx. 38 degrees | 42 degrees under load. Yesterday I fitted a cheap Akasa triple heatpipe cooler and noticed that the thermal "paste" was quite soft. When I removed the stock Intel heatsink it appeared that the thermal compound was quite thick, (obviously it had "cured"), but it hadn't spread out very much, suggesting that it was perhaps too thick, or "aged," when I originally fitted the thing. I'm not going to try it just to satisfy my curiosity but, do you think that if I cleaned that up, and refitted the stock h/s with a good quality thermal compound, that it would run a lot cooler ? regards, Richard Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330398

    - Passwords I have just run software which analyses the hardware and software of a computer. I was surprised to see passwords to ISPs and Outlook Express accounts which, in use, are hidden by blobs. I already knew that it is very easy to discover passwords to MS Office files. Access to passwords probably goes much wider than this. Let this be a lesson. You may not have a file containing all your passwords for someone to steal your information. It is already on the computer just waiting to be harvested, possibly remotely! This strengthens the argument for removing and destroying the hard disk(s) of any computer before disposing of unwanted computers.

    - Dell Inspirion refuses to charge battery. The battery on my 2 year old, out-of-warranty, Dell Inspirion E1505 was almost dead ( about 6 min. charge retention). A new Dell battery was around 200$ and hence I bought a replacement battery from Kahlon (guaranteed to be E1505 compatible) for half the price. After I swapped in my new Kahlon battery my Dell beeped on boot-up and issued a warning of the sort: "Unrecognized battery type; Will not be able to charge". Pressing F1 allowed me to ignore this and continue. I kept the AC charger connected for about 12 hrs to get the battery its recommended initial charge. Subsequently I disconnected AC power and proceeded to work on the battery till it drained fully (about 4 hours). Laptop worked fine. (all the while the battery charging LED blinks green/orange) On next recharges same warning recurs. F1 allows me to bypass. Only difference now the battery does not charge at all. On AC adapter disconnect the laptop immediately dies. Double clicking on the power bar gives me all the battery details including Amp-hrs, manufacturer etc. Charge %age always remains at zero. I have no clue how to fix this! I suspect its the right battery but some Dell trick that prevents me from using anything other than their expensive "official" battery. No proof but a strong suspicion. Unfair. Debug steps so far: 1. Tried booting from a Knoppix Live Linux CD. Still same warning. Will work only so long as I have the adapter. /proc/acpi/battery recognizes all battery details. Charge %age remains zero. 2. Tried BIOS. No battery recalibration options. No user-changeable battery settings at all there. Probably Dell "sanitized" the BIOS to some custom-version. 3. Only one BIOS flash upgrade listed on Dell website for this model. Its only an optional update. Too chicken to try it yet lest I end up with an "expensive doorstop" Any help at all is greatly appreciated! If I can help it I do not want to pay Dell 200$ to inject new life into a laptop that cost $700 2 years ago! -- Rahul Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330270

There are no POST beeps at all. All fans are running and no dust inside it. The PC appears to be still booting because the HDD activity LED is flashing but here's the odd thing, it's still flashing even with the HDD totally disconnected, both power and data. Also have DVD drive disconnected. Checked CMOS battery with multimeter, it's above 3V. Also tried clearing CMOS with onboard jumper. Tried reseating RAM. Graphics and audio are onboard on this. Almost certainly hardware fault but where to start, CPU, RAM, PSU or m/b itself? Any advice appreciated. -- Kenny Cargill Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330212

    - iTunes 7.6.x: Can't find, delete or Last Played custom genre non-DRM Since upgrading from iTunes 4.9 to iTunes 7.6, I have been unable to seach for or delete songs in my Music folder, or in any Playlist, that uses a custom genre. These are non-Digital Rights Management songs (like free podcasts and CD rips). I can view the songs in their custom smart playlist folders, I can play them in iTunes and on my iPod, but I cannot find them in the iTunes Spotlight search, I cannot delete them in any view, and they do not show a "Last Played" date even when I know they have been played and other, non-custom genre files show a Last Played date. None of these problems existed before upgrading (I didn't want to upgrade from 4.9, but Apple forced me to do it to regain access to my purchased songs). I have an iPod mini and I keep all my songs on my iPod (with the exception of purchased DRM songs downloaded from iTunes store, which are in a folder on my computer). Windows XP SP2 Any ideas how I can force iTunes 7.6.x to treat my custom genre songs like any other non-DRM song and allow search, deletion and play history? Thanks.

    - DOS/SafeMode Hi I need to get into Dos mode in order to delete a file which is blocking SafeMode to run. Safemode starts loading but stops at a particular file and then can't get further. Thanks Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330208

    - SATA DVD burner not working in Windows XP I just bought a SATA DVD burner (Samsung SH-S203N) from newegg.com and I am having some problems with it. When I open the tray it comes out and then automatically goes back in without me doing anything and before I can put a CD/DVD in the tray or take a CD/DVD out of it. This is most annoying. I have a dual boot machine with Linux on it and this does not happen in Linux. So, I am assuming that there is some setting in Windows that maybe I should be able to change to fix this. Anyone know how to fix this? Z.K. Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330194

    - XP hangs on boot with 4gig of DDR3 on line installing Mup.sys XP runs fine with 2 Gig of DDR3 mem installed. MoBo is DX38BT, cpu is Cr2D E8400 3GHz. When i add 2nd set of CD3X1024-1800C7D mem sticks for a total of 4 gig system bios sees it, but XP hangs on boot up at: "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\drivers\Mup.sys" boot up hangs at this line and will not proceed. Boot up into Safe Mode will work but system will hang if trying to boot up normal at that line listed above. Any suggestions or answers as to why system will not boot to normal mode with the 4 gig of DDR3 mem installed. Take the two sticks out leaving 2 gig of exact same ram and system boots fine with out any problems. -- Frank Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330175

    - Cards in AGP slot do not work I recently cleaned the dust out of my desktop machine and since then I have not been able to get my GForce 5200, or an older AGP card to work. At first I would get the boot screen before the monitor went black. Now I uninstalled the unidentified video device and I get nothing. I still get video from the VGA connection installed on the Motherboard (Intel D865GBF). I have let the wizard search for drivers but none are found. I have reinstalled the Nvida driver from a CD, but that does not help either. In device manager I also notice that there is no entry for display adapters. I have tried to follow the steps outlined in Article 200435, but there is no \Device\Video entry in HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\hardware\DeviceMap\Video ending in \Device0. Can anyone help me get my dual monitor display back up? I would be grateful for any attempts to help. Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330146

    - cannot install usb devices on msi k9n neo-f mainboard Hi, Thanks for reading. On my brothers computer we installed a new mainboard: msi k9n neo-f. Than we installed winxp SR2. Problem is that the usb mouse and usb webcam don't function. When we plug the mouse or camera in, the system recognizes that there is "new hardware", it starts installing, but fails with a general error containing code 28. Also, the mouselight is on during the boot process of the the computer, but goes out as soon as windows starts in the boot procedure. In hardware tab of device control, the usb ports are ok, but the mouse has a yellow exclamation point mentioning no driver installed. Any help is much appreciated Gerard Tag: Attn:phillo - LCD Monitor Tag: 330145
