    - Trying to recover XP after failed upgrade to SP3 I had my system just the way I wanted it and everything I wanted to do worked. Then I upgraded to SP3. SP3 wouldn't boot and nor would safe mode so I had to "repair" my installation by reinstalling my original SP1 installation disk and installing SP2 over the top of it. Sadly my system is nowhere near the state it was in before. Since SP3 caused this problem and SP3 intransigence in not allowing me to remove it in the usual way has caused a lot of problems that would take me 20 mins to list here ... however A brief list RPC server not working. Now partially fixed DCHP has to be started manually each time I start the machine. NVIDIA driver installation program doesn't recognise NVIDIA Geforce FX5200 card and won't install. I have downloaded 4 different drivers and have the CD driver which will run but still won't fire up the card upon a reboot. Drivers are: 71.89_win2kxp.english 91.31_winxp2kmce_english_whql 169.21_forceware_winxp (US version) 169.21_forceware_winxp (International version) Some programs won't run from links. AVG email detection disabled. Specs: Pentium 4 2.8GHz. 1.25Gb DDR PC2100 Ram I also have Windows 2000 Professional on the computer and that has no trouble booting or recognising the graphics card.

    - Unable to retain multimedia keyboard 1.1 mouse settings I am using Windows XP with the Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 along with the associated "Standard Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse". Everything works correctly, except the pointer options are not retained between system restarts. I need to manually set "Select a pointer speed" and "Enhance pointer precision" everytime I boot. It works as expected until the next time I boot the system. I think the problem started when the original keyboard/mouse failed, and I replaced it with a new identical keyboard/mouse. During the process I uninstalled/reinstalled all the software, downloaded new software, etc. I believe that an old set of software or settings is being loaded after the initial boot, so that the settings are not retained. I notice that there are two similar directories as follows: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliTYpe Pro" "c:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliPoint" The Driver hardware details show: Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Keyboard (IntelliType Pro) Driver Date: 11/7/2006 Driver Version 6.10.155.0 File version: 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) How do I totally get rid of a previous install of the IntelliType software/settings so that I can do a fresh install?? -- None Tag: Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive Tag: 332049

    - Dual-boot, 4GB seen under Vista, wish to enable /3GB switch under Have a dual-boot PC with Vista 64bit and XP Pro 32 bit. I have enabled the memory remap in the BIOS so I now can see the 4GB (just added another 2 GB on PC with already 2GB). In XP I only see 2GB (instead of 2.93GB when Memory remap was *disabled* - then Vista was just showing 2.93 GB...) My understanding is that I should add the /3GB switch in the Boot.ini file of XP, but I am unsure on how to do since I do not get the same look and content : Microsoft suggest that the Boot.ini file should look like this then add the /3GB at the end: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="????" /3GB But my Boot.ini file looks like this (pls note the *FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN* at the end : ; ;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems. ;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options. ; [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN Do I simply add another space at the end and type ''/3GB'' (without the quotes) ? Or shoud I remove anything before ? Please remember that this is a dual-boot machine - I do not wish to screw anything (as I am not expert enough to feel at ease to recover from such a mistake...)

    - Problem With Large Hard Drive Hello, Hardware is Dell Inspiron 9300, Windows XP MCE + SP2. I installed a 250GB WD hard drive in January 2008, and removed the existing 80GB drive. The new drive is IDE, as this seems to have been the last Inspiron made without SATA. The following story has happened three times since January. I booted the WD Data Lifeguard Tools CD 11.2 and created a partition of size 250GB. I booted Dell's XP CD and installed XP without incident. The computer runs fine for a while. After some time, the computer boots to an empty text screen with a cursor in the upper-left corner. This is right after POST and before anything Windows-related happens. So, F8 doesn't work, safe mode doesn't work, and there's no Windows logo. The only thing that I could think of that worked was to delete the partition and recreate it. The first two times that this happened, it was after about 2 months of using the computer. Everything worked very well in that time. I can't think of anything that happened out of the ordinary on the days when the computer stopped booting. The third time, I did a few things slightly differently. I installed CentOS (and a swap partition) on two other partitions. I installed GRUB as well, thinking that this might help diagnose the problem. It turns out that XP stopped booting after less than a month. GRUB works fine, and I can boot into CentOS without problem. When I try to boot into XP, it shows the "rootnoverify" and "chainloader" lines on the screen, and then nothing more. Here's a list of things that I've tried, in no particular order: I ran FIXMBR and FIXBOOT from the XP recovery console. This removed GRUB, but it didn't boot into Windows. I reinstalled GRUB after this. I ran chkdsk from XP recovery console. I checked the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files. They match the files on the XP install CD. Interestingly, I can read the files from the XP partition in CentOS. I've been able to back up my files *after* the boot problems each time. Anyone have any ideas? I appreciate the help. - Kert Tag: Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive Tag: 331971

    - New cloned Hard Drive question Hi, The motherboard on my old PC went bad and I had to get a new PC. I installed a second 200G HD and cloned the HD from my old fried computer to this new secondary HD. My new PC runs XP Pro and the new cloned drive, I'm attempting to get XP home to operate. I can get this cloned drive to boot by changing the BIOS but I can only get XP to load in safe mode. Previous to getting safe mode there's a blue screen with suggestions and the problem listed there is STOP: 0x0000007E (0x0000005, 0xBA2F8750, OxBA4E342C, 0xBA4E3128). I tried copying all the drivers from the XP Pro that shipped with my new PC into the Drivers folder of the non booting system but it didn't solve the problem. I need to get this running since my kids had lots of games and educational software on the fried PC that can't be easily replaced.

    - Multiple IDE's Recently an installation disk created problems with my CD's drives, a CD/DVD-R and a CD. I uninstalled the drives and they reistalled. The problem is that I hear a clicking sound when they play. I was advised in a forum to uninstall the primary and secondary IDE's. It solved the problem. Once again an installation disk (the same one) has created the same problem. I looked at the IDE's and I now have three primary and three secondary IDE's. Question - I would like to do the uninstall thing again. Should I do it on all three primary and secondary? They are all identical, except that the first one of each does not have a disable function.

    - Removing the CPU heatsink and fan assembly Ok, I did it, myself. I used a large straight head screwdriver and some large needle nose pliers. I first removed the motherboard from the PC, after labeling or labelling the motherboard connectors with the front panel connectors with post address labels. I then took a good look at how it was hooked up and then pushed down with the screwdriver and pulled out with the needle nose plier the heatsink and fan hook-up and presto! I didi it! Now, isn't it better when someone isn't jealous and will tell someone with precise ways of doing things. Ok, gotta go, but I feel alot better. It took me days of dealing with morons to finally get this to go. I did this myself without any help, wait I take that back. There was one person who said to use pliers and a screwdriver, but he didn't go into detail. I did that, going into detail. See, I don't need to do PC tech work for a living, at least, not yet.

I also get the same error of "New Hardware Found" when done with the BIOS... and that's everyone's failed remedy. Contacting Intel is hopeless... I never got a straight answer on how to correct it. Nor did I think the support dude know how to fix it... the best suggestion I got was to reformat... and then I got a refusal when asking Intel to provide a legit copy of XP so I can, in fact, reformat.... lol - HYPOCRITES Tag: Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive Tag: 331842

    - OT: APC BK650MI ... Anyone know how to get XP Home to automatically shut-down, when there is a power outage ? Years ago I bought an APC Back-UPS 650 (not the "pro" version i.e. it didn't come with Powerchute CD and serial lead,...there is however a female RS232 port on the back of it.) ...I just bought on ebay, for 90p, an "APC basic signalling lead," which I understand is an RS 232 with unusual pin-outs and a resistor across two pins somewhere ! i.e. it's an APC 944-0020C http://www.apc.com/support/faq.cfm#5 ...and it's now plugged in ! I suspect there is some sort of comminication on the RS2323 lead, because if I go into XP power management | UPS tab and change COM 1 to COM 5 I get an error message on the UPS tab in XP Power management. I've selected APC Back-UPS in Power management, and any change in settings in there, takes a good half minute before the timer bottle goes away. ...anyhow, cutting the mains power so that the battery kicks in, does not produce any messages on screen. I haven't been able to install the APC Powerchute software. i.e. I've downloaded several versions and tried them, and each one says "unable to locate an APC battery on a USB port" !! ...so I've tried locating an older version that hopefully will detect an RS232 port. ...any clues gratefully accepted ! regards, Richard Tag: Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive Tag: 331831

    - 4000 ergonomic keyboard DISASTER I decided to try this keyboard (the USB wired version) and am having problems I cannot believe. Here's the list: The scroll wheel on my mouse ONLY zooms text size; it doesn't page up and down as it did before. (The mouse wheel setting is set to "scroll one screen." Why does putting on a new keyboard mess with the MOUSE??) I can't use ALT-TAB to cycle among running programs. All it will do is cycle among tab sites on the page that's up. In FireFox (yeah yeah I know) PGUP / PGDOWN cycle among tabs instead of moving the pages up and down. At least they work in IE7. I can't click on a program icon on the task bar and bring a running program to the front. In fact, with this and the loss of ALT-TAB, I can't BRING a running program to the foreground. Something is overriding my folder options: when I click on a folder within Windows Explorer, it pops a new window. My folder options say, open in same window. I tried to write up my problems and the ENTER and PGUP / PGDOWN keys didn't work at all. I hope it isn't because I use OpenOffice instead of Word for that particular document; a keyboard that only works with Microsoft software would be useless to me. I tried uninstalling my old Logitech drivers and it did no good at all. This can't be the way it's intended to work. Is this a known problem? Do I need new drivers? Is there some setting I'm missing?? If I can't get some answers that fix this Real Soon Now, I'm taking the thing back to BestBuy for a refund, because it is useless in its current state. -- hedera Nature bats last.

    - OT: Intel Wireless WiFi 4965AGN stuck at 54.0 Mbps Does anyone know why a HP Compaq 6820s laptop that has an Intel Wireless WiFi 4965AGN mini-PCI adapter be constantly stuck at 54.0 Mbps when within 3 feet of the 11n router? I have followed the recommendations of Intel and set the router to WPA(2) with AES encryption. The card was warranted replaced and I have tried both the Intel Pro management software and Wireless Zero Configuration. Neither will get the Intel card to exceed the 54.0 Mbps speeds. The router is a TRENDnet TEW-631BRP and I know that the 802.11n signals are working since there is a D-Link RangeBoost N (DWA-142) USB adapter two floors up (router in the basement, D-Link on the second story of the home) which is connecting at greater than 200Mbps. BTW: Does anyone know if the number of wires connected to this model of mini-PCI wireless card is important? This one only has two connected to "port" 1 and 3. One is completely "non-existant" / not connected (port2.) I fear that HP has lamed this adapter since I found several references that this card needs all antennas connected but it seems that there is only one in this HP.

    - SATA Western Digital Caviar HD install and set up problems I'm having mega headaches trying to install a SATA HD and get it running. My motherboard is a Gigabyte 915P MB -GA-8195P Duo (Pro), new about 2 ½ years ago - which initially had 2 Hitachi 160 GB SATA HDs set up in a Raid O array. These occupy two of the four SATA slots on the MB. It also had an IDE DVD RW originally and I later added a SATA Pioneer DVD RW in one of the spare slots. This was recognised by windows and worked immediately. I've now acquired a Western Digital 400GB SATA drive to occupy the last remaining SATA slot. WD's web site indicated that a jumper was required to cause this second generation SATA drive to revert to a 150MB?s transfer rate which is the speed quoted in the Gigabyte MB user guide. It reads: "S_ATA0/S_ATA1/S_ATA2/S_ATA3 (Serial ATA Connector) Serial ATA can provide 150MB'stransfer rate. Please refer to the BIOS settings for the Serial ATA and install the proper driver in order to work properly" (My italics - I don't understand the reference to installing a driver). The problem. The WD HD shows up during POST and in CMOS but Windows will not boot. Instead the following message appears: "Boot from CD Boot from CD Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter." I've been into BIOS to try and fix things. In Bios, the standard CMOS features show the following: "IDE Channel 0 Master HL-DTST DVD RAM GSH (The IDE DVD RW?) IDE Channel 0 Slave None IDE Channel 2 Master S_ATA1_ Raid drive IDE Channel 2 Slave S_ATA2_ (the Western's id) IDE Channel 3 Master S_ATA3_ Raid drive IDE Channel 3 Slave S_ATA4_ (the Pioneer's id)" In the Advanced BIOS features the boot priority is: "Hard drive CD Rom Floppy." On entering the Hard Drive Boot Priority, I found at first that the WD HD appeared before Intel Raid - Volume 0 (assumed to be the Hitachi RAID drives. I changed the order and rebooted, hoping that I had solved the problem. But the same "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter." Message appears. What have I missed? The MB user guide reference to "Please refer to the BIOS settings for the Serial ATA and install the proper driver in order to work properly" confuses me. What drivers?

    - Windows XP Automatic Updates & 0x800703e7 I have never been more aggravated and frustrated in my entire life! Microsoft Support is about like trying to communicate with one on one. I mean as to HIM actually talking back. You call for tech support & you get some one in India or the Phillipines and you can not understand them because of their accents. I have spent over 12 hours on the phone for the past two days, trying to find out why I can not get my automatic updates to turn on in my Security Center. I have had one technician in my computer trying to resolve this issue for 3 hours and he could not resolve this, but NOT once did he go and try to do an UPDATe and get this Ox800703E7 error. It is very frustrating to be on the phone with some one 3 hours and have them in your computer & all of a sudden get disconnected from you & your computer & they know your phone number and don't bother to call you back, after you have stays up until 530 in the morning. Then they are going to have a SENIOR technician from Microsoft call at a certain time. They did not call me when they said, and waited and called on Sunday when I was at church! Then said that they will call back tonight between 7 and 9. Well I hope that who ever calls me tonight does not have any thing but an American English accent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This problem should be an easy fix for a Microsoft specialist, that is if they exist. I've been transferred and sent all around the world and back and still no help. I'd like to get out my shot gun and give this computer to the junk pile! Windows XP Professional is what I have and a Microsoft Engineer put it on my computer. But he wants to charge me to bring my computer in rather than work with me over the phone! Why can't things ever be simple??? I would think this would be. I did not have this problem until I installed AVG 7.5 on my computer and upgraded to 8.0, and all hell broke loose. I uninstalled the 8.0 and installed McAfee and it seems that is when the problem occurred. I've read that a third party program could cause this problem. SOME BODY WITH A BRAIN PLEASE HELP ME!

    - Removing the old CPU fan and heatsink and installing the new one. I want to know how to remove the old fan and heatsink from my motherboard. It turns out the CPU is probably good. Now I installed the fan and heatsink on the PC I built 3 years ago by using a screwdriver and pressing down with a bit of pressure to engage the hook mechanicism. Now there is different release points on different mobos. I can see on the Compaq presario 5000 A stock PC mobo there is a lever that I think you push down on to release the CPU fan and heatsink? On the motherboard I'm trying to fix is a model M7VIG 400 mobo that supports AMD processors. I just want to remove the CPU and put it into another M7VIG 400 mobo. There is an AMD processor in it. I bought it 3 years ago from, not Fries, but the other main PC store that has alot of outlets. Anyways, oh yeah, CompUSA and it was a bundle package. There AMD bundle. Ok, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, attilathehun1 -- attilathehun1 Tag: Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive Tag: 331727

    - secondary ide connector issue I have a very puzzling situation. Dell Dimension 4400 Running Windows XP When a CD-Rom drive is connected to the Secondary IDE (either master or cable-select), Windows XP Home Edition will not boot. When it gets to the Widnows XP logo screen, the computer just hangs for hours and hours. The computer will not boot into safe mode either. When I disconnect the CD-Rom drive, everything works fine. I tried connecting several other CD-Rom drives that I know work and I get the same result. I can boot from disk with the drive so I know it's connected, but Windows will not load. I tried a different IDE cable, same result. I tried connecting a Zip Disk 250 and that works just fine. The problem is narrowed down to just the CD-Rom drives. I tried updating the ide controller and that didn't fix it. I also made sure I was using the most current Bios on my PC. ANY SUGGESTIONS? This situation seems odd to me.

    - SD Card Reader problem I have XP MCE 2005 with SP3, on a DELL Inspiron 6000, with a built in SD Card Reader. On 4/28 I totally reloaded the system with the OEM XP SP2 CD. Applied the downloaded SP3, not WU, then applied IE7,WMP11 and other updates and my software applications and restored data. Hey the PC works great. I have a 4 gig SD chip in the drive that just kinda stays there and I have a batch file I run routinely to backup strategic files. Works great. And to tell you the truth, I don't know when this started as I usually don't take the card out of the machine. When I boot, with or without the card in, it works. Either its there when I boot as a hard drive, or when I insert it, I get the ding dong and the drive appears. All's well so far. If I remove it I again get the ding dong and it disappears. Now the problem. If I re-insert it again or another card, I don't get the ding dong, but a dong dong. And I say it that way as the normal sound is two different tones but the 2nd insert it is the lower pitched sound two (maybe 3) times. And if I look in device manager the SD Memory Card has the yellow ! beside it and the error is: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38) Found the code 38 on MS but it just says run the troubleshooter.. Thanks MS. That's no help. I've uninstalled the sd memory card and then let XP search for hardware, and it finds it, installs it and has me reboot. After the reboot it finishes and asks for one more reboot. But all this solves nothing. I've even tried going into properties and setting the drive to quick disconnect (or whatever that wording is in the properties). I read that it just bypasses the write cache but it should make removing the card easier if not safer. I swear this used to work under SP2, I have a 2 gig chip in my camera and I normally flip these around of course to read the camera chip. Not often but I do every 2 weeks or so when I do a photo shoot. I just thought I'd ask before trying the link for the free SP3 support tomorrow. I've googled and searched MS but don't find a thing.

    - Error Code 39 for dvd player I am running xp home and the bios sees the dvd player but windows gives me the error 39 code. What can i do to use my new dvd writer in my pc? Doug Tag: Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive Tag: 331678

When clicking on any item - folder or file - in Windows Explorer for a USB2
external drive, there is a four/five second delay till that item gets
highlighted. Happens every time only for one particular external drive.
During that time everything is frozen.
Except for this delay everything works fine.
Do we need to look out for anything? Drive tested free of malware and
viruses.
Regards and thanks for any insights.
