Problem installing hardware
I cannot install my IEEE 1394 controller or a 5-button MS USB Intelli-mouse
optical or an HP Laserjet 1100 printer. The hardware is detected and properly
identified but the driver install ends with:
There is a problem installing this hardware:
IEEE 1394 Controller
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The data is invalid
I get the same error for the mouse. For the printer I get:
Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed.
I am running Windows XP SP3 with all updates installed (same problem when it was
SP2). Uninstalling and re-installing does not help.
Any ideas?

How many video cards can be used on 1 machine?
Currently have a single Radeon HD 3800 (3 outputs on 1 card) and are
using both DVI outputs to 2 monitors wile the svideo goes to the TV.
Can I add an additional VGA card for a projector? Will the display
output to all of these work?
If yes, do I need to stick with a Radeon so that Catalyst Control

Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive
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

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.
Any suggestions?

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??

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.

mode there's a blue screen with suggestions and the problem listed there is

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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

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?
Can anyone help me out with this and tell me what to do to get this new HD
up and running?
TIA

Max CPUs supported by WinXP Pro?
What is the maximum number of CPUs WinXP Pro will use? I've dug through the
MS and MSDN sites but can't find the technical specs.

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.

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
