Recently, to clear up some space on my C drive I DELETED some log files. According to my research, this was supposed to be FINE. But now I'm having Word problems. For the record, I have Windows XP, and Microsoft Office XP Proffessional.

I clicked on the icon, and the program launches, and I can see my Auto Recover files...but then an installer comes up. It starts, then tells me to INSERT the Office disk. The computer and its parts were bought years ago from my uncle, so I do not have the disk. ANYONE have any IDEA what might be wrong?

Running XP Pro on a 1.9 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB Ram. Could not get USB 2.0 to work. Contacted the motherboard MANUFACTURER (Gigabyte) and they said to install SP3 and EVERYTHING will be fine. Downloaded it to disc on a broadband connected computer and tried to open (install) the ISO file on my computer and get a message saying what do want to open the file with. Tried browsing but came up with zilch. Thanks for any help. An .iso file is an image that needs to be BURNED to cd. Use your burning software to create a cd, then run that cd to do the service pack installation.SP3 boots from a DVD and expects to find a working XP version already on the hard drive.

SP3 boots from a DVD ...

Hey all I think this is probably one of the first times I'm posting in a forum for help with computers. I've worked with computers since I was about four or five. I typically manage my to figure things out on my own by searching forums and the all around the interwebs

Anyways, right now I own a Dell XPS M1530. 1.8Ghz dual-core, 3 gigs ram, running windows vista (blah) at the moment.

I've installed numerous OS's on different machines, many times and have never really had a problem untill now. I'm trying to load Windows XP Pro SP3 on this laptop, and it keeps giving me the " Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disc..... " error.

Now, I'm the kind of person that hates errors like this, there is clearly a hard drive present because I just got done downloading & burning a fresh *censored* windows xp installation onto my hard drive, then from my hard drive onto a cd.

I looked around and found some answers, tried somenm things - No luck.
I found a topic on some forums that the windows xp installation disc doesn't have the DRIVERS for my SATA drive or something and that I could either: Switch my HDD settings in my bios to IDE, or get a floppy disc and load the drivers onto it and have the windows cd get my HDD drivers from there.

Well, I don't have a floppy drive, especially not on a laptop as new as this. And my bios settings limit me from changing my SATA drive mode to either "ADHI" or "ADH" or something, no IDE or RAID mode..

If anyone can help me out that would be freakin awesome, so I don't waste any more of my life trying to figure this out. I've been trying to do this honestly, for about 6 or 7 hours now and I'm real frustrated.

Thankyou.I am no expert, but I would use another PC and find the driver and download and save it (do not run) then find the saved driver package and send it to the CD Drive to copy. You can then run it on the laptop. I hope this helps.
HubertThanks for the quick response, but that didn't really help. What do you mean by "send it to the CD Drive to copy" ?

I found this post, which is pretty much where I'm at:

That could be your problem.

Possibly, but not. It's straight off the microsoft online download site.

You need to understand our perspective...
Being a popular Help Forum we hear all kinds of tales of woe in a Topic that will stretch 4 or 5 pages with everyone genuinelly willing to help only to find that so and so is using a black DLoaded version of whatever OS.....

So had you stated that first you would not have gotten the responses you did.

I understand, and I do apologize for not realizing that. I can assure you that none of my copies of windows are "black DLoaded versions"

I think I found my problem. I've been using DVD-RW's to save cds. I'm going to try booting with a DVD-R and let you know how that goes. I'm going to feel like an idiot if that works.

I have a HP PC with the OS recovery on a separate partition and the disk is now DEAD. No way of booting to the disk or reading from it. All kinds of errors that say the hard drive has failed. I tryed rocovery console to fix the boot and MBR. Still no luck. My ? is if I were to replace the drive and wanted to reinstall XP, could I use an XP setup disk from a friend and use the activation key thats on the side of the tower and still be legal?
Thanks, TomI believe so, it's really the key your paying for and not the disc.

Printing from COMPUTER is no problem. Can I PUT a document on the glass of the printer and have the image transferred to my computer, and ultimately send this image to someone?Yes, there should be an option of 'print to file"or "scan to file".Because you will be SCANNING this document, remember that it will be a picture of that document. NOBODY, including you, can modify that image unless you RUN OCR(Optical Character Recognition) software on it to turn it into a document again. Until you run OCR on it, it's only a picture of the document.

This post is about a page from Tweaks.com ( www.tweaks.com/articles/36746/brand-your-copy-of-windows-xp/ ). I am slightly concerned with the code. I am not familiar in the least with how to modify the registry via code and this is totally boggling me. I just want to make sure that the code does as it says it does. Can anyone look at it and confirm what it does?I am the forum admin at tweaks.com and I can assure you that we check all tweaks before posting them. However, if you want to be safe you should always create either or both a disk image and a registry backup before making a major registry change.Yeah, ALWAYS BACKUP first!

does anyone know how to change the width of a particular tray icon? namely weather pulse. it has settings to change font size but not the width, so you increase font size and the text gets cut off. the only method I can find is making all the icons bigger from desktop - properties - appearance - advanced - active title BAR. is there another option? maybe some registry keys I could add? preferably only modifying the width of weather pulse.I don't think so, you can change the minimum width, but that will change all taskbar button widths

http://www.gammaphase.net/q14168.htm

Now, we are talking about the taskbar button? or are we talking about a system notification icon?system notification icon. thank you, though, I tried exactly what that link said earlier today thinking it was what I was looking for. it's STRANGE that it'd have a FEATURE to increase font size but not icon width. ah, it sucks that the developer no longer provides support for it on his site. I guess not enough weather pulsers to answer questions. I'm having another problem with it not opening in the tray at startup (it opens hidden), even though the settings say to show the tray icon and open at startup. meh. I'm trying to find a low resource weatherbug alternative.Ahh, System notification icon- but, they are all just icons??? Or, am I to understand that it displays the weather information within that icon?


Either way- there is a way, as you said, to change the icon size globally, but there isn't a way- even for the program - to change the size itself. Although I suppose if they wrote it to use multiple icons and span the information across those icons it would be doable, they would have to write it that way.

Personally- I use ForecastFox, since I almost always have my browser open. That's not what I'd call a "low-resource" alternative though, what with requiring firefox to be running and all )

well, it seems to be two icons, one for the temp and one for the sky conditions. it's funny that it has a checkbox to "test 102 F"... which only shows half an 0 and a 2, but it does have an option to cut off the 1 in the program... even though it's already cut off. seems the developer may have been working on it, maybe they still do from time to time.

but yeah, the computer's actually set up for someone else. Personally, I only use windows for gaming, so my system tray is just bare essentials. of course, the gnome applet for weather forecasts is extremely low resource, as most things linux are. their system, though, when I started, took at least 15 minutes to boot. no joke. and about 5 to shut down. it was disgusting. now it shuts down immediately and takes about 5 to boot, most of which is a result of the Norton Antivirus suite, but I really don't think there's much else I can do while maintaining all the automation for them.Try weather underground...weather underground is a good suggestion, but, from their site at least, only has a vista widget. they are using firefox on their computer though, so I think I'll look into forecastfox and see if that'll be acceptable for them, and HOPEFULLY that'll influence their boot time somewhat.Gotcha...
I had thought they had an XP widget/plugin...You could always edit the icon manually with a graphics program.Quote from: Quantos on August 15, 2009, 05:31:24 PM

You could always edit the icon manually with a graphics program.

Have you tried it?

have you ever used Shell_notifyIcon and gotten it to use a non-standard size? Because I sure haven't, since it always resizes it to the shell icon size. "editing" the icon to change the size won't work. Even IF they could edit the icon, which they can't, since in the same manner as SpeedFan and whatnot, they generate the icon on the fly, so there's nothing to edit anyway.

No, actually I've never tried it, but it sure sounded feasible in my noggin.

Ok recently i had some computer problems. So i decided To Do PC Recovery on The boot up menu.
I did that and i selected Factory Default Settings (didn't care for my FILES).
When it started the PC Recovery I NOTICED it was acting up. It Did not count the TIME it was running.
And about 37% complete, it said "less than a minute Remaining" So I know it Wasn't going to do it correctly.
When it finished I clicked to button to restart my computer. Then it loads and then it asks to me select my county. I did then it starts to load The Microsoft Windows XP screen, Then it Could stay on that screen for hours.
I let it do this for about 2 Hours and nothing.
Then i Restarted the computer To give it another go. then i GET a ERROR "The system is not fulling installed. Run the setup again" And I've done this process about 3 times.
and i cant do safe mode or anything cause it removed the files in PC recovery and Hasn't finished the full setup.
and I have no setup disc.

Any ideas?You say the reason for the wipe was that you had some problems. What were they?

What is the brand and model of your computer?Well i just noticed it had slow boot ups, and my laptop would just randomly Disconnect From the wireless.
And Compaq.

I recently installed WINDOWS vista on my laptop, but just after i did so i changed my mind and wanted it back to XP. So i inserted the Acer System disk into my Acer travelmate 4650 and it boot the cd just fine, i follow the instructions and insert the recovery CD and the computer reboots. When it boost up it asks me if i really want to install Windows XP on my computer, i PRESS ok the computer STARTS to load but then i get the error messege from ''Norton Ghost'' ( something like that, not so sure of the name) the messege is saying: Usage error, Not enough room on target partition.
Please, i don't know what to do or whats the cause :/ Hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks!Using the Acer CD once XP setup starts you should see an OPTION to delete and re-create the partition...this step needs to be done.

Warning all your data will be GONE so make your backups first.From what i can see i do not get this option, when i boot up with the system CD it will only display some information about the computer and the operating system and then the CD will load :/

Same problem?

Hey everyone,
First i would like to say thank you for haveing a Forum where people can post their computer problems and questions.

My Problem.

A couple of months ago i Bought a barebone kit and a Windows XP upgrade for my own personal use.
I got everything but together and started the task of installing Windows. Since this was my first build i started by putting my XP update disk in, It then asked me to install a previous version of Windows. The only disk i had for previous was 98. So it install all that, then it would not boot into 98. So i just kept on going into installing XP. while copying the FILES over the first time it kept saying certain files could not be copyed. These files are as followed:

dvdplay.exe
kodak_dc.icm
mdwmdmsp.dll
nikedrv.sys
rio8drv.sys
spnike.dll ni
sprio600.dll
sprio800.dll
srgb.icm

At that point i thought maybe it was a dirty disk. So i stoped the install and cleaned the disk with a clean rag and started the install again. This time it went through most of the files until it reached the sprio600.dll. Then i left it installing and kept track of the files it could not copy. As follows:

sprio600.dll ni. - same
sprio800.dll ni - same
srgb.icm ni - same
streamci.dll
tosdvd.sys
tsbvcap.sys
tsbyuv.dll
usbcamd.sys
usbcamd2.sys
vdmindvd.sys
wowfax.dll
wowfaxui.dll
fsvga.sys
paqsp.dll
usrcntra.dll
usrcoina.dll
usrdpa.dll
usrdtea.dll
usrfaxa.dll
usrlbva.dll
usrmlnka.exe
usrprbda.exe
usrrtosa.dll
usrsdpia.dll
usrshuta.exe
usrsvpia.dll
usrv42a.dll
usrv80a.dll
usrvoica.dll
usrvpa.dll

When that was finished. It would boot and run, but it crashes about everytime you try to install anything.


My question is: Is there anyway i could get these files back into my System32 file and have it working?
You need to check that everything is assembled correctly, especially that the RAM is both seated correctly and compatible with the motherboard, and that the disks are in good condition and not scratched, and definitely legal, licensed, pressed (not burnt) disks. That "files not copying thing" often means a RAM problem, or it could be disk damage.

I have noticed VERY fine scratches in the disk. The ram is seated correctly and it is compatible with my motherboard. I was able to run Ubuntu very well on the machine but i need my Photoshop and web design programs. Quote

definitely legal, licensed, pressed (not burnt) disks

The local used record store in my town has a machine that polishes CDs.

A faint click?

partially reading a block of data is quite possibly just a faint click

I don't understand what you are trying to say.Can you explain what that means? Are you referring to the disk or the read/write head or the arm or what? I don't get it.
If you do mean the disk, then what click or pop? Are you talking about the pits and lands on the surface of the disk or do you mean an audible click?

By the way Salmon, is English your first language?

a new optical drive will do a much better job reading a scratched or damaged disk.

I have recently done a clean install of XP on an ACER M5641 machine.
I was able to make a custom XP install USING information from http://komku.blogspot.com/2009/01/aspire-m1641-m3641-m5641-windows-xp-and.html
Everything is working except the audio.

When I try to install the audio driver it fails.
When I go into system and attempt to UPDATE the driver it does not respond.
Windows update did install a new driver, but still no audio

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

DaveIt's possible the driver listed at that SITE is INCORRECT for your machine...i'd go straight to the Acer site.Acer site does not offer drivers for XP only VistaThere's your problem...
It was built for Vista.

Alot of people have been thru this...you're not the 1st.Yea I know

I need help with a safe mode boot and I have the cd and its not loading. i posted a thread earlier and NONONE responded to it.

Pretty much i get an error whenever I tried openening in safe mode and I tried to make it go into safe mode by checking "/safemode" in boot .ini and it restarted and now I can't acess normal mode again.

I read up and found I could recover via windows XP Home Edition cd and I found my cd, I think I know how to LOAD it and I've tried an "F12, run from disk drive" approach and it started loading. The problem is it wont get to a thing where I can start windows It says that windows is starting and It comes up with another error!

I really want help because this is not my computer and the person needs it for work and I messed it up.
Help Please!



And I said before this is not a major problem but that is because I thought I could fix it, HELP!!!!

This isn't a major issue but I'd like to solve it fast. I could not enter safe mode and stupidly went into boot .ini and made is so the default login was safe mode. and is still cant go into safe mode, so no matter what i click to get onto to windows, it comes up with

I am on a different computer and I know that you can run a recovery PROGRAM from the Windows XP disc, but I seem to have... misplaced it. I've tried everything I can think of and looked through the setup menu and other options for starting but each one tries to boot into safe mode. If there is a way to boot back normally so I can change the boot .ini without the disk, I would love to know.

I am working on a HP Pavilion a462x running Windows XP Home EDITION. The COMPUTER will load all the way up to the Windows XP screen, flashes the "blue screen of death", and then reboots. The owner of the computer no longer has any recovery discs. I have run CHKDSK /R several times to no avail. I have a Windows XP Professional disc. Is there any way to create a recover disc for the HP? Am I completely overlooking something?you dont need a recovery disk
i WOULD say just reinstall windows
most data should stay where it is
some other member of the forum can give better advice on installing windowsBoot to safe mode & go to system properties - advanced - startup & recovery settings then uncheck "automatically restart". NEXT time the blue screen will remain up - post the contents of that screen here. If you can't get to safe mode, Press F8 as your system boots and choose "disable restart on error".

I woke up today and my computer tower was turned on. Everynight I turned my computer off fully and ive used the computer itself for 2-3 YEARS and ive changed no options that should make this suddenly start occuring. Ive searched other forms and most of them say this is related to BIOs and turning off the "wake on lan", but I dont think its likely this would suddenly begin effecting me when it never has in the past. On top of being on I found that my date/time was set incorrectly (sometime in octorber) and about 80% of the stuff in my start menu in the programs list are highlighted as if they were a recently installed file (Even the "New programs installed" bubble popped up). Im quite confused to how this HAPPENED seeing that ive installed nothing new over the past few weeks and I havnt been to any strange websites (Though I dont think a virus could do this EITHER), so im worried SOMETHING might be going out in the machine. According to my roommate the power went off for about 20 minutes while I was asleep, but I cant see a power outage making it turn on. Any ideas of what might have caused this and if I should be worried or not?Quote from: BBsa on August 17, 2009, 10:54:03 AM

2. Tweak UI v2.1. This utility is one of the Windows XP PowerToys. From within Tweak UI, expand the "General" category in the left hand pane. On the right hand side of the window, it's the last item listed in the "Settings" subsection. Clear the checkbox for "Show Windows VERSION on desktop".

I am asking this for my boyfriend. He has an EMachines computer which is from 2005/2006. He has just gotten a headset(Sweex) and has it connected to the computer. His operating system is Windows XP. How does he go about setting up the sound and playback so that I can hear him. We tried it with MSN Live Messenger and he could hear me just fine but I could not hear him. What does he have to do in order to hear me? Both he and I are beginners so we need very basic step by step layman's terms. Also, he did try the headset with watching a video in Youtube and was able to hear it. I just cannot hear him. I have an Intel Pentium with Windows XP version 2002. I really appreciate the help.What application are you TRYING to hear him in, is it a game, or something online?CLICK Start then choose Control Panel. Now choose Sounds and AUDIO Devices. This will bring up the sounds and audio devices properties window. Click on Advanced and you will be at the volume control window. At the far right of this window you will see Line in. Make sure that the mute box near the bottom is unchecked and the volume is turned up.Some computers have a microphone socket which is different from the line-in. Some headsets work better if you use this. The Windows volume control has a slider for "microphone".

I had this problem when I tried to Skype using a new headset.

First thing is to check he's plugged everything in fine. (Microphones usually plug into the pink socket in my limited experience) Assuming you have plugged everything in fine he will need to go to "Tools>Audio and Visual setup" in MSN. In there you can set up MSN to make sure it is using the right microphone input (mine for example defaults to the webcam microphone if I don't set it to my headset microphone). skype is very bad it sends information from yhour bios
and maybe even your harddisk

I had this problem when I tried to Skype using a new headset.

I've noticed that my pictures come up with a RED x in a box instead of showing the pictures in some EMAILS. what can be done to fix it?
Which email service do you use? (Example: Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail, etc...)I've had that problem before. Went to www.java.com and downloaded free updates and that fixed my problem. It could be your javascript is out-dated.

Remove the CMOS battery from the MBoard...'bout the size of a Dime...with all power unplugged...
Wait 10 minutes and hit the power switch a few times to remove any built up power,
Replace the battery and power up.

hey anybody there my system is not able to shutdown any suggestionsWe need more info

Help us help you. Below is additional information and suggestions on what you should list when asking a question on the COMPUTER Hope forums.

What operating system are you using? For example if you’re using Microsoft Windows, what version are you using?

If you're getting an error what is the error message?
Basic details on your computer, manufacturer (Dell, HP, custom built), how much RAM, CPU (Intel/AMD), etc.

If you're having a problem with a software program, game, or utility what version is it? If you're using Windows this information can often be determined by pressing the F1 key.

If you're having problems with a hardware device such as a printer, modem, video card, etc. mention if you have tried the latest drivers.

When did the issue start occurring? Did you recently install a program, new hardware device, or visit a web page?

no actully i think a service there defwatch.exe is intruppting me to do so

i have newly joined in this company and i dont know enough about it

i have newly joined in this company and i dont know enough about it there are many other services which are enabled i cant understand which one is intruppting the shutdown

If this is a machine at your place of Business, we need to be informed beforehand. This is also not negotiable and we will not be responsible should you fail to do so.

Are the HP dribers installed ? ?i dont know. how can i check?

i guess if they dont install during recovery, then no If you have an HP Driver CD i would re-install them...this will not harm anything.
If you do not have one visit the HP site...enter the machine info and DLoad them and install.i see so many, which do i USE?

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=1818056

also, i can run these off a boot cd?Chipset Drivers FIRST...then audio and video.
The rest you don't need.all the drivers need to be installed while in the OS, so i cannot make a bootable cd to install any drivers.

im just going to get a new copy of WINDOWS and install fresh, on a FORMATED HDDNot sure what you mean here...
The Drivers can be safely DLoaded to the desktop and installed...
If you re-install Windows you will still need to re-install all the drivers.i cant get to the desktop cuz my OS (windows XP) doesnt work(at all anymore).

im just going to upgrade, and head over to BEST buy and grab a windows vista installation. ill reformat my hdd and install vista, and ill update all my drivers when i do that. im just done messing around with HP's stupid recovery partition. If you run into any issues you know who to ask. Please let us know.of course.

you guys have been very helpfull, especially you Patio. i REALLY appreciate your help. and of course if anything comes up ill be back =P

thank you

Sounds impressive...
Rather than have you GO out and spend hard earned money to see if it's the PSU is why i SUGGESTED borrowing one...
Ask more people . Surely there's someone who can go without their machine for one evening...I think I can say problem solved. Thanks for your help everybody.No charge...
THANX for stopping in...False alarm. I have received the no signal sign again...while playing my Star Wars game.Check the monitor connection, if POSSIBLE try a different monitor. Video driver PROBLEMS can cause restarts. If it is an older e-machine. Try finding a driver update at Intel. It will be free and worth a try. LOL wannabe1

Hi I have a Sony Vaio VGC-RB34G I also have Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0- I was on the Internet and came accross a site that GAVE me some Trojans PSW.WIN32.Agent.nhv and Win32.Rabbit.ki among others that My Internet security found but could not delete. So i had to go into Safe Mode an delete the files manually. I also had to get give myself rights to the folders as the Trojan had messed with them.. After deleteing all files found by Kaspersky 7.0 I restarted. Ran a full scan and Nothing, I felt safe. My Internet EXPLORER was running real SLOW and after a day the trojans were back. So I so I deactivated System Restore thinking that a restore point would safe the trojan Restarted computer. I only had One user profile set up so I wanted to delete the Adminastor thinking the Trojan took over rights so i WENT back in safe mode and Made another Adminastor with a Password also renamed my computer then Deleted the Old Admin . restarted and Forgeting to Save Files on My desktop and Documents It was ALL gone.. I do Have a Recovery Software but I would Like my Old Desktop Folders as they were organized for my work. Can ANYone HELP?? when you deleted the account, you deleted the files, as well.

you'll need to use your recovery software.I was afraid of that, but I read somewhere that in Regedit I can trick the registry back into the old adminastor if I typed it back in the registry in the user profiles But I had to remember the Name of what I had it before? Is this Not a Option? I CANT find that Site anymore.?err no... the files were deleted...Unless you have some trick recovery software, and have written nothing to the HDD then the files are gone.

Hello. Thank you for taking an interest in my thread.

I have been trying to get my TASK bar to autohide while Im useing the computer, but it always ends up sitting on TOP of all the windows.
It doesnt matter how many times I RESET it to autohide, it eventually ends up on top?
Have I set something incorrectly?

AND

I loaded Lotus 123 onto the drive a while ago and it starts up when the computer starts.
Is there a way I can remove the icons from the right hand LOWER corner but still have the program loaded?

OR

Can I remove any of those icons in the taskbar lower right hand corner? The icons in the lower right represent the applications that are started when your computer boots up. Most applications when you install them put themselves in this list but are not needed at startup. A free app called "easy cleaner" will help you edit this startup list. Google Easy Cleaner, download it and give it a try. The taskbar thing I can't help you with. Sound like one of those goofy things windows sometimes doesRight click on Task Bar>properties>CHECK Hide inactive icons>Apply>Customize>click on each program you wish to hide.

When you select autohide try lock the taskbar.

Help I'm a cad operator with thousands of files in the same folder. When I open
a file say 500th on the LIST, and then when I want the open the 501th I have to start
from the beginning and SCROLL through. I know windows can higthlight the last ONE open
because the guy next to me can. Thanks {eterWhat OS are you RUNNING?

There is a difference between doing the 'last page' option and 'page up'.

I'm running an older VERSION of IE and I've recently started to have a REALLY strange problem, I can't link to some pages. Some links open smoothly and others do not. Sometimes, when I click on a link i get a message box telling me "application not found" and when I click the "OK" button a blank IE page opens.Other times it will open as many as 57 blank pages. Have you tried installing IE7 or IE8?

Does this happen in other browsers? (like Firefox or Chrome)you can try RESETTING internet EXPLORER 6 ...

So my girlfriends Sony Viao vgn-a160 LAPTOP shut itself off the other day. I turned it back on and as soon as windows boots it does a physical memory dump. Then it restarts and does the whole thing over. I have about 2 seconds in win xp to do something before it does it again. I read some other forums and thought it might be the registry so i downloaded registry easy. I had to remove the battery while it was on to be able to boot it in safe mode. Then i INSTALLED registry easy ran it and restarted. Same [emailprotected]#$ happens. I NEED some help here. I really don't want to lose all the info on the computer. Alot of it I could never get back. Any help would be more than appreciated!!! registrey easy sounds scamish
i think a driver may have gone south
or you have bad virusBoot to safe mode. Go to System Properties - Advanced - Startup & Recovery Settings and uncheck "automatically restart". Next time, instead of a reboot you should get a blue screen error. Post that error message here. However, if the system still reboots you almost certainly have a hardware problem.It says DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALThat was the entire message? There was no file named?

Anyway, that error is generally caused by a faulty driver. Update your audio & video drivers (get them from the OEM web sites, not from MS Update). Also check for a bios flash.careful if a bios flash is done wrong

no problem:

Start notepad.

paste the STUFF I posted above into the file.

File->Save As...


In the "save as type" box, select "All Files"

in the File name box, ENTER C:\windows\inf\oeaccess.inf

Click "save"


now try to open Add/Remove windows components, and see if it works.

No. Still same.did the file save properly?No I don't see it! I'll try again.I did everything you said but it still won't work. Where did it stop working?

Where did you run into TROUBLE?I have the folder(oeaccess.inf) in windows\inf but it's empty. I don't KNOW how to put the contents you listed in it.it's a folder? if it's a folder, delete it.

then try again.ok,I'll try 1 more time, then I quit!

I had two OSES installed Windows XP and Windows XP x64 SP2. Both were installed on a same drive but on diffrent partitions, since I wasn't using my 32bit windows I decided to delete it and merge partitions. I have done this before, so I thought there shouldn't be any problems. Unfortunately I forgot that everything needed to boot both OSes (like boot.ini) was on the same partition with my 32bit windows, so after merging nothing would load (I can't remember the exact error message, it was late at night yesterday, but I believe it's not important here). Luckily I found old Debian CD, so I cut a new partition from my drive and install it. After playing a bit with grub, I manage to start booting windows.
However it says "NTLDR is missing."
I used on of this sites amazing guides to recover NTLDR and NTLDR.COM files from my windows install CD.
There comes another problem there is no boot.ini so I need to create one, I tried to use windows install CD to automatically generate it with "bootcfg /rebuild" but it failed, since I had ext3 partition. So I created it manually
(here it is)
Code: [Select][boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
and after few tries I found the correct partition with my windows and it actually started to load. I get the black screen with windows logo in the middle and a line with blue running cubes, then I see the same screen that you see when you select users to login into windows and mouse pointer appears. However instead of userlist there is windows logo and loading hangs up on this point, I tried to wait (~5min) but nothing changed.
At this point I'm lost and need advice.It seems like you're pretty close. It seems like you have everything except User Accounts. You might have to perform a Repair Install.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

1. Try removing the /noexecute=optin from the boot.ini, it's only for 32-bit Windows.

I've tried it, but it still hangs on the same place as before.Something like this http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/doug92.mspx ?
Will Repair install cause any data losses?

By the way, there is one weird thing, I've cut my hdd many times, and after each time when I booted to windows, It did some kind of disk scan (can't remember how exactly it was called) to identify how large partition is now. However this time it never made it, maybe this is the cause and I need to run it manually somehow.

I am thinking of buying an older used scanner (for 35mm slides) that requires a SCSI card / interface.. I have a 2 PC systems a 3 yr. OLD Dell DIMENSION E510 (XP OS) that I do not think has a SCSI card... and a ~ 8 yr. old Dell Dimension XPS T600 (Win. 98 os) - that I think may (but not sure) have come with a SCSI card/connector. I would appreciate any advice on whether I should be able to use this scanner with either of my systems - and if not - whether it would be difficult (or costly) to find a compatible card to MAKE this scanner work with either of these. Any advice is appreciated!See Here...

comp hangs on the win xp loading screen when rebooted, normal BOOT up works though except the restart, wonder whats wrong? ^^Open msconfig and on the startup tab choose "selective startup" (disable everything from loading).

Hello out there

I have an issue,not a big DEAL, but one I'd like to solve.

Each time I enter or change a page in IE7 , my cursor will sit and blink and click for a short time, and I have to wait on it to continue. It seems like the number of clicks KEEPS getting more all the time.
I just dumped Norton for Avast, added a gig of new memory, deleted all registery cleaning programs, and cleaned up everything.

My speed increased a BUNCH but now I have all this clicking,which was there before, to an extent.

Any suggestions on eliminating this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks BucxDid you use the Norton Removal tool ? ?
If not DLoad it and run it.
Re-boot.Hi Patio

Thanks for the answer.

Yes, I did use the Norton Removal tool.

But I'm still getting all these clicks. I started counting them and they
increase over time.

Any suggestions? bucxSounds like a pop up blocker is blocking sites.thanks karnac,

I thought of that. But if it is can I do anything different to eliminate it?Everyones been so helpful, I hate to ask the same question, but these clickity clicks are very annoying.

Anybody have a suggestion?? What happens with other browsers (Firefox, Opera, etc)? Also, are you using a third party ad blocker?Quote from: patio on August 12, 2009, 10:07:36 AM

Hello all.
My problem is that I want to dual boot xp and xp 64. I run xp and win 2000 in a dual boot situation at the moment but never use 2000 at all now. I want to utilise of all of my ram so I want to install xp64. I have read that there are problems running xp32 with xp 64 as regards startup/boot. I want to install xp64 onto a new drive by itself. Is this possible with my current setup and if so what problems, if any, should I be aware of?
I run a dual processor msi k8n master 2far motherboard with 2 opteron 285's with 6 gig of ram.

thanks in advanceI have XP32, XP 64, and Vista Ultimate x64 triple booting on my laptop with no issues.

It's easy, if you start with a clean drive. always go from oldest OS to newest OS; in my case, I installed XP-32 first, XP-64 second (which recognized XP-32 and installed a boot menu) and lastly Vista x64, which found the existing boot loader and replaced it with the vista bcd.

so now, when I start, I have a choice of "Windows Vista" or Earlier Version of Microsoft Windows", selecting the latter runs the same boot loader installed by XP64.



In your case, starting from a wiped drive you could install XP 32-bit onto one partition/HD, and then XP 64-bit onto ANOTHER afterwards. XP64 would setup a boot menu for you.

If on the other hand you just want XP 64-bit, then it's even easier, just install from a clean drive.

I cannot see any further issues, except perhaps driver issues. For the most part, it just takes the proper "google-fu" to find the drivers.

one last thing though- you might want to try to search for xp64 drivers beforehand, and then burn it to a CD; at the very least I'd get your network drivers and motherboard chipset drivers, to start.thanks for the response.
Hopefully mine will be as painless an install as yours.
And i'll definitely check for the 64bit drivers this weekend before I try the install.
If you don't hear from me, all went well. Fingers crossed

thanks

Hello again.
Well I didn't get to INSTALLING XP64 yet!

I had a serious error on my system last night and it took me till about 3am to get it up again ...but I don't really know what I did or what really caused the error.
The crash/freeze occured when I had booted into my XP system as normal and just after the desktop appeared I opened Nero media player and clicked on the button to open the music folder so I could choose something to listen too - and the system froze. I then switched off and rebooted after about 20 secs. It would get to just before the screen to logon with your password and it would flash up a blue screen too fast to see and it would either hang or restart.
It would boot into XP in safe mode but I'm not too sure what that proved and I could also get into Win2000 but not XP. I had the new hard drive powered on but not formatted and the new ram was in place too so it was running 6 gig instead of the usual 4. I disconnected the new hard drive and removed the newly purchased ram. This did not initially fix the problem.
I then thought to disable onboard audio SINCE it was an audio program that caused the problem ( or so it seemed to me ) and I got it too boot but only after several tries.

The following is the error from the first night after I got it too boot:-

This is the following evening....
I re-installed the new ram and it booted up fine first time. Then I restarted and went into the bios and enabled onboard audio and after the reboot I got a blue screen again with the error message, " IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ". Can somebody explain what this error MEANS please.

I then removed the new ram from slots 5 and 6 again and disabled the audio.

I got a different error window when I finally got it to boot into XP after this.
It read:-
error signature
BCCode : 9c BCP1 : 00000004 BCP2 : 8054D5F0 BCP3 :

F6062001
BCP4 : BA080813 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product :

256_1

The error window also states that these files :-
D:\DOCUME~1\David\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8f6f.dir00\Mini073009-01.

dmp
D:\DOCUME~1\David\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8f6f.dir00\sysdata.xml

- will be included in the error message but annoyingly I cannot find them on my system.

I have not had any blue screens since I built this machine 2 years ago and everything has worked without a hitch.

Can somebody with superior knowledge please tell me what is going on!!



thanks.



MSI K8N Master2-FAR running Dual Opteron 285's
250 gig hard drive
4 gig ram. Kingston KVR400D8R3A/1G
XP 32bit sp2 and Win2K
NV Quadro FX 3400

MY first post on this forum, so HI all!

RIGHT. Im currently having an annoying issue with my XP desktop. It quite commonly refuses to start up when I turn it on. IT behaves like this: Press the power switch, and the light comes on and the fans whir up - but then it doesnt make the usual dual beep noise it usually does just before loading with the Dos like SCREEN before loading XP. It just sits in that docile state, with the monitor not receiving a signal at all. The only solution is to pull the plug and try again.
The funny thing is though that it only happens some of the time, perhaps about 1/2 of the time - the rest of the time it starts completely normally.

The specs I can remember are below, but can post more if required:

Medion Desktop PC
XP Proffesional
1.8Ghz Dual Core Intel
2GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 8400 GPU

Any ideas you may have that could help solve this issue would be fantastic!!
Thanks!
Welcome to CH.

How old is the mother board?
Hi,

Not very - perhaps 2 years?? Given a little more time I could find out the exact spec of the motherboard, could post that up later today if it would help.
What part of the motherboard do you think could cause such a problem?BORROW a known good PSU of the same or GREATER wattage and swap it in there to see if that's the culprit...Start with the basics, check all connections out side and in side the computer. It could be something as simple as a loose plug.

Help me plese !

My PC have an Error !!!
Here's Dr.Watson file :

Application exception occurred:
App: C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE (pid=1164)
When: 17/8/2552 @ 10:36:22.515
Exception number: 80000007

*Note : 2552 [Buddhist Era] = 2009 [A.C.]

Hi Friends!

I accidentally got a 'Sneak Peek' into the 'C:/Documents & Settings' folder of the my Windows account & it displayed 3 Weird looking files with 2 of these carrying .DAT as File extension.

Please have a look at the sequential screenshots & help me decipher the AUTHENTICITY of these files. The two with .DAT file extension displays a 'Warning' message on double click & the 3rd one is a O Kb file that do not displays an error message but displays a list of probable programs that can be used to open that.

Check out...!

[attachment deleted by admin]BEST to leave the Ntuser.dat files alone, they are an integral part of the system and can be found in each user account.

I have not found any INFORMATION about the odd named zero byte file. Is it protected by the system?

The Y9Y9 file is part of HP software/drivers:

Quote

You are running an HP system; the file is a temp data holder used by some of the proprietary software HP runs on the system to help the user 'experience a better more enjoyable computing environment'.

My System is already devoid of any such CRAP form HP! These Guys literary 'Suffocate' your PC with all kinds of 'System Choking' Start-up Items & Automatic Services!

I just rely upon a simple driver(that detects USB of HP 3-in-1 device). No Wizard, No Bells & Whistles!

I have two drives, C and D. I want to format so I can reinstall windows, which is on the C drive. When I boot from the installation cd the only option that even appears is the partition on the D drive. So I formatted D but everything is still on the C drive, and windows boots up as normal. My BIOS shows both drives, but I can't see the C drive when booting from the installation disc, it only shows the now unpartitioned D,...what do I need to do?How I did it.
Do you want Windows on C or D. Which ever drive you want windows installed on should be set to boot first in the BIOS. Also CD ROM should be set to boot before the hard drives, then select 'Enter" when the start-up screen gives the option "Press any Key to boot from CD".
The option to format should come up during installation if the drive is not formatted.
After Windows is installed, you should be able to see both drives in "My Computer" and "Disc Management".
I have CD Rom set to boot before the hard drives. I want windows on C as it has been, but I want to completely format it and reinstall. When I boot from the CD it gives me the option to delete a partition, but only the D drive. So I formatted the D drive, but did not install windows on it. Then it warns me that there is no windows installation on my computer and if I restart I'll have to boot it from the cd and install windows. Of course there is a windows on my computer, on my C drive, and I can start windows as normal without the disc. But with the disc in I can't find a way to format C, it's like the boot disc doesn't even know its there. Did you set C to boot before D in the BIOS then run the installation CD at start-up?YEAH I've got from first to last set to:

onboard or usb cd-rom drive
onboard SATA hard drive (C)
onboard IDE hard drive (D)

it boots from the installation CD, before going into windows. I also tried disabling the D drive in the BIOS, but it's still the only thing recognized when I'm running the installation CD.I guess the IDE controller starts before the SATA. Try unplugging D from the IDE CABLE then reboot in safe mode to install.

EDIT = spellingWell I'm going to have to ask someone else to do that for me, I'm not knowledgeable enough about opening it up. Thanks for your help though! Hopefully I can get it fixed soon.Sorry I couldn't help. One of the Guru's will likely help you out though. Good luck! Quote from: kujen on July 28, 2009, 12:15:59 AM

I have two drives, C and D.

Are C and D both hard drives? If so, what letter is your CD ROM? I ask because D is usually the letter given to the primary optical drive (CD ROM).

It sounds to me, as mentioned, that your Drive C is a SATA drive, and your drive D is a IDE drive.

if your trying to reinstall XP, it will NOT see your SATA drives at all; just IDE drives (it was created before SATA).

However, all is not lost. if you notice, during setup XP states at some point "press f6 to load third party or RAID drivers..."

At this point you'll need to have the SATA drivers for your motherboard ready (available from your manufacturer's site). XP should then load the drivers, and POOF! you'll see your C: drive.


Another option you can explore is setting your SATA controller to "compatibility" mode. This will (rumour has it) slightly reduce the speed of your disk accesses, but XP will detect the drive as it would an IDE drive.

The C drive was the original hard drive that came in my Dell computer. The D drive was a later addition. So I still don't understand why it won't recognize the original drive windows was installed on

Yeah I've got from first to last set to:

onboard or usb cd-rom drive
onboard SATA hard drive (C)
onboard IDE hard drive (D)

it boots from the installation CD, before going into windows. I also tried disabling the D drive in the BIOS, but it's still the only thing recognized when I'm running the installation CD.

I guess the IDE controller starts before the SATA. Try unplugging D from the IDE cable then reboot in safe mode to install.

EDIT = spelling

it cannot recognize the drive if it is SATA, because XP was created before SATA; it doesn't know it exists. It worked before because the drivers were installed.

if you set it to compatibility install windows, and the appropriate SATA drivers (usually part of your chipset drivers), you *might* be able to change the setting back, but I don't know.

If motherboard has SATA ports, no drivers are necessary for any OS to function. BIOS is in control until OS boots.

Hi Everyone

Can you help me ? Each time I try to use my system restore and set to a previous time (with bold date shown) the machine goes through the sequence but then sayes it did not make any changes. Could it be that the system resore is switched off if so can someone tell me how to switch it on.

Many ThanksUnfortunately System Restore has always been buggy at best. I've always been a strong proponent of disk imaging software. I use Acronis True Image, but there are a number of good free alternatives.Enable System Restore

I tend to agree with Allan on this one however...i also use Acronis.

But Here you will find my recent Review on Macrium Reflect if you need a FREE solution for backups...

Good Luck.
A good freeware alternative for Windows System Restore is a registry backup program called ERUNT [Emergency Recovery Utility NT]. http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/
It’s quick and easy to run before you install an app or a Windows update or whenever, in case anything goes wrong. Google it and read a couple reviews.

It saves backups in a folder in C:\WINDOWS\. Navigate there and run ERDNT.EXE to restore.
I’ve used it a few TIMES to correct some minor glitches and it SEEMS to do the trick. Has anyone else used it?

ERUNT is a great app and many of us here have not only used it but recommended it as well...
However to say it's an alternative to System Restore is a bit misleading as all ERUNT backs up is the registry...not important Windows system files...

Nonetheless a good reccomendation.Quote from: TonyT on August 16, 2009, 05:06:03 AM
