Solve : Can't load XP after installing win 2000 on a Slave Drive:? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello ,<br/> i h' XP installed in my C: and it is Primary Master no logical Drives. Another Slave Drive SAMSUNG 4GB ( 2 bad sectore found ), i installed Win2000 this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/morning-1103190" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MORNING">MORNING</a>, on restarting the BootManager has an option to select win2000 or XP.<br/> When i choose XP it says, missing file, Windows\System32\Config\System d. While Win 2000 loads without any problem.<br/> I tried to Recover using fixboot by winxp CD, still no good:<br/>any suggestions how to i fix this.try reparing windows xp boot loader.The following is a general procedure recommended by Microsoft.<br/>The first thing to do is to install Windows 2000 on a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/new-1114486" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEW">NEW</a> or him to dry. Specify a suitable partition size for Windows 2000.<br/>After the above has been completed, you may install Windows XP on a second partition. Windows XP will properly update the boot loader and the boot menu so that you will have a choice between Windows 2000 and Windows XP.<br/>Failure to install the operating systems in chronological order will cause a failure to the newer operating system.<br/>This is a brief summary of what you will find by digging to the Microsoft knowledge base.<br/><br/>Now I'll offer my own work around for the problem. I would take another drive that I would like to use and proceed to do a copy, that is an image copy, of Windows 2000 to the first partition on the new drive. Then I would do whatever is needed to make sure that Windows 2000 will boot up properly, such as using fixMBR and fixboot. Next, I would image copy the existing Windows XP installation to a second primary partition on that drive. Then I would edit the boot.ini so that there will be a name selection for two operating systems on the first and second partition. <br/><br/>if necessary, I would use the Windows XP install CD and go to the recovery console and do the repair again for both the boot loader and the Master boot record. As I recall, Windows XP prefers its own boot loader to that of Windows 2000. But it is backward compatible with Windows 2000'<br/><br/>I do not know of any are easier way to do it.<br/>But it could be that all you need to do is boot from the install CD for XP and do them the boot repair and the in the MBR repair. But I am not sure if that is the right solution.<br/><br/><br/>I have Imaged both 2000 and XP on my other Slave Drive Seagate 30 GB. <br/><br/>Maybe i should have installed 2000 first:<br/> Although i comprehend your reply , when the problem arose i did Repair install of XP first and then 2000 with both CD's, but it wasn't of much help. But i haven't Restored the Image, i think i'll leave this idea of having 2 OS on my Drive. Because on one occasion my (older)Seagate 10 GB had died due to faulty IDE pluging , and now Samsung Drive is showing similar symptom. <br/> <br/>I have removed the Slave and left with one.<br/><br/>Better i'll wait and see if i can get a bigger Drive, and try your method, if not then the first one. I can <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/accomplish-846960" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ACCOMPLISH">ACCOMPLISH</a> more using XP SP3 than 2000, i don't have much use of it , its only i wanted to have a piece of history near to me. Anyways thank you for your suggestion, i'll definitely refer to the above method, when i get a bigger HDD.<br/>check out Super Grub Disk. It can resolve just about any bootloading issue. Quote</p><blockquote>We want Linux newbies to restore their new toy, but also help the Linux advanced user make potentially dangerous operations to the MBR in a safe way. Super Grub Disk is also a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/teaching-22879" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TEACHING">TEACHING</a> tool to help you learn more about bootloaders and the booting process. After all, booting is the most important thing your computer does -- without the boot process, you would not have an operating system to use!</blockquote><a href="http://www.supergrubdisk.org/">http://www.supergrubdisk.org/</a><br/>Before you use this, there are some other things you may want do do first.

Solve : 3 lots of.....? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi<br/> Ive been looking through my task manager settings, and have found ive got 3 lots of taskeng.exe running. one is running at 800 kb, and says this is below normal. another at 3.68, which again is below normal, and the last one at 2.18 which is normal. Need to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/worry-1461594" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORRY">WORRY</a>?No need to worry, it's a Vista thing...<br/><br/>quoted from <a href="http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/166895-numerous-taskeng-exe-<klux>PROCESSES</klux>.html">this forum</a><br/><br/>It has to do with a failing IE feed reader scheduled task, which as it happens runs every 5 minutes!<br/><br/>I have Vista RC1 SP1 Refresh installed, so I'm not sure if that was a related cause....<br/><br/>Anyway, here's the solution:<br/><br/> 1. Go to the start menu.<br/> 2. Type task scheduler and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/press-605361" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRESS">PRESS</a> enter.<br/> 3.

In the left pane of task scheduler, underneath Task Scheduler Local, right-click on Task Scheduler Library.<br/> 5. In the View submenu, make sure the Show Hidden Tasks option is checked.<br/> 6. Widen the Name column in the center pane. The hidden task that is likely at fault has a name that starts with User_Feed_Synchronization, followed by a dash and a bunch of digits inside a curly brace.<br/> 7. Select that task in the middle pane by clicking on its name.<br/> 8. To verify that this scheduled task is creating all those taskeng.exe processes, select the History tab in the middle pane near the middle of the screen. If you expand out the Level and Date and Time Columns, you should see a bunch of errors and date and times that are 5 minutes apart. If that's the case, then this task is the problem.<br/> 9. On the rightmost pane, select Disable.<br/> 10. There may be more than one scheduled task like this, so you'd need to disable any or all that were causing problems.<br/></p></body></html> | |

Solve : CDROM is sick or ignorant? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Initially I got in basic Windows XP (have non internet connection with machine)<br/><br/>Then I tried out Ubuntu. The CDROM device read it and loaded Linux completely ( only a 6 Gb HDD) so I did that and fiddled with Linux for a couple of days.<br/><br/>Then I put WinXP Pro back in and got it to revert back to Windows.<br/><br/>Then CDROM started acting up......it would continually start to search for a disk (then stop for 20 sec) then search again.<br/><br/>I found that weird.<br/><br/>It would stop looking once a disk is in the drive, but when I tried to open the disk ( the CDROM device could not see anything if it was Windows type disk. For a while it would read the Linux disc, but now has stopped doing that too.(the reading part) <br/><br/>Understand, I only use the CDROM to put in main programs(such as Windows 98, Windows XP and Linux. No games So it is hardly used.<br/><br/>Right now I got Windows XP GUI<br/><br/>This thing acts like it has almost got all"its marbles"<br/><br/>Does this thing need a driver?<br/><br/>It is in a Dell computer and I had swapped this CDROM for the one that was in it BenqCD-RW<br/><br/>Where is the best place to go to get a driver if that is what I need(which has to go on a 3 1/2 diskette<br/><br/>I have a Creative 36X MX<br/> It is just a reader, I know, but it won't even do that. Optical drives have not needed drivers since WinME...<br/>Replace it.Never had Windows ME. Went from 98se up to a burned copy of XP Pro.(which is tagged by the MS people) so cannot get SP1,2,3 etc.<br/> So, does XPPro basic on disc also carry the same information as ME? I don't assist with non-legit installs so i'm done here...Did not realize you are working for MS. (Don't get too high and mighty - you probably drive a car and use BP fuel). Better go and collect your cheque. Oh, that is right; you are not gonna get any.<br/><br/> It is not like I knew about it in the beginning.....it is I who lost out and have to pay twice for the same product.

Even then it's pretty much only used by windows update to make sure the install has a legitimate product key (that is, not one forced to skip the activation step)<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>The most I got is the XP GUI over 98se. <br/></blockquote><br/>forgetting of course the NT subsystem, segregated kernel, true protected memory architecture (windows 9x programs could write all over each other, although it was a little harder then it was with windows 3.1), full support for Unicode (thereby making internationalisation easier, both at the customer level (changing system languages) as well as at the developer level (no need to make sure the codepage can display hte characters in question, or perform gross translations between ASCII and unicode and thereby lose any extended characters (such as Hangul and Kanji characters as well as various other special character sets). Full implementation of paged memory flags, such as being able to define blocks as data or code, meaning that data cannot be the target of the instruction pointer. <br/><br/>Additionally, unlike Windows 9x, 2000/XP, GDI, USER, and KERNEL handles are not limited to 64K. the "OMG all my fonts are system" or crashes from a program that creates USER or GDI handles but doesn't release them are no longer a problem; terminating a process now forces all the open handles in that process to be closed, releasing the various brush, window, pen, device context, and so on handles to be deallocated. Additionally, the implementation of Look-Aside lists in the heap manager allows multiple threads to read and write from a heap without locking the heap globally and therefore suspending all the other threads until the lock is released.<br/><br/>Additionally, the problem of heap fragmentation for large applications was addressed. This was a problem that existed in both windows 9x as well as NT4. I'll spare the extra technical drivel but the end result was better memory management, and that's on top of the better features provided in Windows 2000.<br/><br/>Truly, saying Windows XP is anything like Windows 9x (except perhaps from a distance through frosted glass) is really more an expression of ignorance then it is any sort of belief based on fact. Now, if you were to say windows XP was pretty much windows 2000, well, they are immensely similar, the main difference between 2K and XP is of course the Luna theme used in XP, but there are variety of other ammendments (similar to what I've already stated) some of them were introduced in 2000, some in XP, and some in server 2003.<br/><br/>And let's not forget the changes made to the user <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/interface-11652" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INTERFACE">INTERFACE</a>; Although the choise to use the blue-green theme as a default is peculiar, the concept of the Luna theme is rather useful. It's a shame that MS didn't start the theme site they planned, that combined with needing to use "signed" themes (now that's silly) can be a mild hurdle. with a few changes any Luna theme can be modified, and when you look at a few that are available it's really a full-featured skin system built right into the operating system.<br/><br/>Some may contend that such changes are useless. of course they are- but consider also that many of those people make utterly false claims like saying that "Windows calculator has been the same since windows 3.1" (which is untrue, since the entire calculation engine was rewritten from the ground up on at least 3 occasions)- it basically proves that "if everything looks the same, people assume it is the same" which in the case of an Operating System is usually a rather flawed gambit.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>You probably don't know anyways(as most high and mighty people don't)<br/></blockquote>don't know what? The "inner truth" that despite me having to rewrite a good portion of my programs to get them working on the new NT architecture, that it's all a "smokescreen" and MS took time to purposely change their entire operating system just so that people would think it's different? Wait a minute! But if they changed the entire operating system, then it be different, wouldn't it? And it is, since nearly everything from the very low level memory management API's to the higher level window management API's would be required in order for me to have needed to make the changes I did, such as the few times I accidentally reused a pointer after free() (bloody debugger is supposed to flag those things...) which worked on 9x, but not in NT. Although fixing that did solve the mysterious crash bug I had been trying to track down for ages at the time.<br/>Quote<blockquote>Gotta go and rebuild a optical drive now.<br/></blockquote><br/>...<br/><br/>If you are trying to boot to the "burned" XP CD, it may be that it's not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bootable-7665304" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BOOTABLE">BOOTABLE</a>, or it could be an upgrade edition, or, more likely then not it was burned/copied improperly. This is of course assuming you hadn't use the disk before, in which case it could be either the disk or the drive (you only state results with the XP and Linux discs, both of which could be damaged or scratched enough to cause the symptoms you describe.<br/><br/><br/><br/>of course it's also fully possible it's not broken at all and may be a OS issue, this could be especially the case since many pirated versions of windows (no matter which version) have presents strewn about (in the worst case) or the person who created it has made decisions for you about what you want on your machine (including removing and adding various "improved" drivers to replace the generic ones that normally come with windows).<br/><br/>I did not ask for help to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/improve-504932" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IMPROVE">IMPROVE</a> my access to the Windows system of service packs. I am happy with what is on the disk as it is. It is on 4 computers. <br/> The situation where I am having the problem is that I swapped out the original optical device that was in that machine a BenqCDRW unit and swapped it with a working unit of a different make from another machine. I wanted the burner unit in the faster machine, which it is in and working.<br/> There is NO problem(scratches) on my CD's<br/><br/>Sp I have a Creative Optical reader in a Dell computer that "initially worked". It has seemingly moved backwards after I installed "Ubuntu" full version onto that computer - and then after tasting that morsel decided to go back to XP(which meant I had to feed it the Windows CD again) <br/><br/>It read the disk and installed the XP program again. Then the optical device became blind to information on windows disks, but it was searching for a disk and I could use a Windows type disk and it was quiet..."could not see what was on the disk except that it was "full" and there was no "free space on the disk" <br/><br/>That is why I wondered whether an Optical driver was what was needed.<br/>That Linux nuked the information needed to run the Optical drive.<br/>What do I know. I fix cars, stereos, TV's and appliances. I don't do programming.<br/> I figured a dead non functioning unit was "dead" not semi alive.<br/><br/>Someone stated that optical drive information has been included since Windows Me. <br/><br/>I never got into Me, or 2000 or any other interm editions. I went from Win98se and tried the upgrade to XP.<br/> I never said 98 and XP are the same. I like the XP GUI. I don't need anything more (I have 15 year old machines)<br/> <br/> I know the problem with the Optical drive arose when I yanked out one and swapped it with the other one and basically did not do more than that. Basically - unplug, unscrew checked to be sure the jumpers are the same and swapped. <br/> It was not a simple matter to get the CDRW to work in the other machine either.<br/> I needed an installation disk? Which of course, I knew nothing about ?<br/>Am thinking this is the same type of problem. I have a diskette drive as well.<br/><br/><br/>I don't mean to be pissed off at you guys "but bugger", you stop by my shop and ask for advice on fixing you car (or whatever) and I help. I don't ask if you stole it.<br/> I suggest a fix to the "problem"....which is a "cheap out for many of your tear jerking stories," just to get you by.<br/> If I can't get that in return, I am out of here. At this point the thread could come to a close.<br/>Now there is one point worth considering. Why did the CD drive stopped working? The original poster claims that a version of Linux destroyed the optical drive. Or something to that effect. That is just not possible. Well, very, very unlikely. The drive may have started mechanical breakdown during the installation of Windows XP. It is not uncommon for optical drives to fail either <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/suddenly-654932" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SUDDENLY">SUDDENLY</a>, gradually, or in unexpected way.<br/>Standard CD-ROM drives can be read both by current Linux systems and current versions of Windows. The drives that require additional drivers are the combination drives with special features. Such as the ability to read and write Blu-Ray discs.<br/>If the original poster wishes to pursue this question here are my observations.<br/>It is possible for an operating system to alter the firmware of the CD-ROM drive. This would be a very unusual thing for the operating system to do. If anybody knows anything about this, please speak up. Otherwise, put the CD-ROM drive and a good working desktop computer. Find the current firmware revision for that particular drive. Then try flashing the firmware of that drive. If the drive comes back to normal operation, this would indicate that somehow the firmware had been altered by some software process. But that is conjecture. The firmware could have failed for other reasons. The firmware chips do get old and tired and they can be refreshed and restored. So it would take quite a bit of diagnostic procedures to determine if the firmware really had been damaged by the operating system. The fact that the CD-ROM drive was already old and had been used for quite while makes it difficult to assume that the damage was done by the operating system.<br/></body></html> | |

| Answer» <html><body><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hello-484176" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HELLO">HELLO</a>,<br/><br/>My Moms <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/computer-243299" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPUTER">COMPUTER</a> crashed and we had another one that had never worked so we tried reinstalling <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a>. That worked but there have been some issues. Occasionally it crashes. Like a blue screen with writing on it will flash really fast, not there long enough to read then it just reboots like its fine. Also, sometimes it is just slow. It has a updated graphics card we put in and not a ton of stuff like our other computer yet its slower half the time. It doesn't make sense.....<br/><br/>When we installed windows I think it asked about what location or file or place to install and I think we may have chosen the wrong one... How can I check that??<br/><br/>Also I ran updated Malware Bytes full scan and only 1 infected file came up called Zwangie or something like that and it was removed. There is an updated virus program from F-Secure.....and an eset scan....It is an HP computer...let me know what all I need to provide if anything more.....The computer is usable just not working as well as it should. I'm confused and not a computer expert....Id like my moms computer to be working right its not really fair its she has a new computer but it works worse than the ancient one we had before (her grandchildren broke that one grrr)<br/><br/><br/>THanks1) What does "it's not working as well as it should" mean?<br/>2) After installing the OS did you install all drivers, including the chipset driver?<br/>3) You are saying that you do have one anti virus utility active at all times, correct?<br/>4) Open Windows Explorer. Where is the Windows folder (which drive)?<em>1) What does "it's not working as well as it should" mean?</em> It <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/means-236635" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MEANS">MEANS</a> everything I said. the crashing, the slowish/freezing. seriously the crashing can't be good...<br/><br/><em>2) After installing the OS did you install all drivers, including the chipset driver?</em> I don't know because I'm not sure what your talking about so probably...no? <br/><br/><em>3) You are saying that you do have one anti virus utility active at all times, correct? </em>correct. I have F-Secure which is updated, always running an updating when necessary. It is my active antivirus program that runs all the time. I did the other scans just as extras to see if they found anything. Just in case. <br/><br/><em>4) Open Windows Explorer. Where is the Windows folder (which drive)?</em> Um if you mean My Computer and then a folder <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/named-1110438" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NAMED">NAMED</a> windows is in the C.....<br/><br/>Thanks !Okay. Assuming you either did a format and new install or if the hd was blank to start with, you probably did the installation of Windows correctly. But you need to install the drivers. Go to the website of your computer manufacturer and download and install the chipset driver (unless you still have the cd that came with the system, in which case you can install it from there). Then go to the websites of the video card and sound card manufacturers and download and install the current drivers for your specific model cards.</body></html> | |

My C drive has 133.5GB space left from the 250GB. If I backup the files I need, it'd be better to just format and reinstall then, if that's what I end up doing.That's not how you uninstall a piece of hardware. You uninstalled a driver and I don't know which one. Anyway, I still don't understand why you can't do a repair install or get to safe mode - sorry.</body></html> | |

Solve : VPN freeware to watch UK webcast? |

Does anyone know of a good alternative with the servers in the UK so I can still access their site?<br/>I would prefer 'freeware,' but payware is OK.

Solve : how to uninstall IE*? |

Try running <a href="http://www.CCleaner.com">www.CCleaner.com</a> There could be a lot of Temp files and other junk built up in there, which will slow things down. If there has been a lot of install and uninstal activity, I would run the registry tool in CCleaner as well, after having first saved the registry files ( it will ask if you want to that before "Fixing" things ). Another good app is PCDecrapifier.The OP mentioned going back to IE6, do you not have to have IE7 before you can properly install<br/>IE8 and if you do have IE7 is it actually possible to even revert to IE6. I was under the assumption that once you did have IE6 or later you could not totally uninstall IE because of it's integration with the OS, especially<br/>if it's XP. In any event Windows Explorer should display it in Program files and Documents and settings /Application Data (showing hidden files) for uninstalling, shouldn't it not?

Solve : browser change? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Exporting bookmarks with Google Chrome:<br/><br/>1.Open the bookmark Manager- you can do this by pressing Control+Shift+B. Or, click the wrench button thing on the right side of the... err... toolbar thing, and select "bookmark manager".<br/><br/>2. In the bookmark manager, click the Organize um... "thing" a menu appears- choose "<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/export-343732" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EXPORT">EXPORT</a> bookmarks". Choose a location you will remember, and give it a name of some sort... in my test I just <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/called-907796" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CALLED">CALLED</a> it "exportedbookmarks" but anything will do.<br/><br/><br/>now, you just need to import the favourites into internet explorer. In IE, they decided to put the file-based import and export functions on the file menu, rather then on a completely random wrench image. I commend them for making sense.<br/><br/>1. In Internet Explorer, choose File->Import and Export (I don't know if they <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/carriedbrbr-2500933" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CARRIED">CARRIED</a> over the behaviour from IE7, but sometimes, the Menu is hidden. If so, you can usually make it show itself by pressing the Alt key).<br/><br/>The Import/Export dialog appears.<br/><br/>2. Since you want to get the bookmarks from a existing file (the one you just created with chrome) you will choose "Import from a file", and move on to the next step. <br/><br/><br/>3. As far as I know, Chrome only exports bookmarks, not cookies or feeds, so <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/check-25817" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHECK">CHECK</a> off "bookmarks" and leave the others unchecked. Then click Next.<br/><br/>4. Now it needs to know what file to get the bookmarks from. Use the browse button and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/locate-543614" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOCATE">LOCATE</a> the file you just exported, then click next.<br/><br/>5. Now, IE needs to know where you want the imported favourites to be stored. Just go with the top-level "favorites" item, and click "Import".<br/><br/>6. Congratulations! If it all worked, you should get the message that the import completed successfully. At this point you simply finish the operation using the self-describing "finish" button.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Hope this helps <br/>Thanks BC. Don't have Chrome on this particular system.BC_Programmer, thank you for your efforts will give it a try when time permits<br/>best idaho</p></body></html> | |

Solve : No user input on web forms / script error (line 1545) trying to use sys restore? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>A friend brought his Dell computer by for help. The PC displayed the symptoms in the subject line. He had removed several programs, including JAVA, and installed several Windows XP updates. Then the symptoms began. I found no malware on the PC, and reinstalled JAVA, but no improvement in the situation. cCleaner displays 3 months worth of system restore points, but Windows system restore apparently can not see them. I can only guess that the Windows updates may have installed incorrectly and possible corrupted certain Windows files. User input is possible in I/E page headers (i.e., Google search, URL addresses, etc.), but not in the body of the pages. Links do not work either. Outlook Express email works, but it is impossible to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/insert-516457" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSERT">INSERT</a> any text in the body of any email being created or replied to.<br/>All these symptoms occur in Safe Mode also.<br/><br/>Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.Do a repair installAllan:<br/><br/>Well - that was my plan. Problem is - the user can't locate his XP Media Center Edition 2002 reinstallation disk, and the closest thing I have is the 2005 version, which I'm reluctant to use for fear of creating more instead of fewer, problems. I'm trying to locate a copy of the 2002 version to beg, borrow or steal, but no luck so far.<br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/thanks-665909" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THANKS">THANKS</a> for responding.If the CD you have is in facta Media Center Edition you can continue on with the repair install...<br/>The dates are irrelevant.<br/>Keep in mind all Windows updates will be gone so you will need to revisit that issue...<br/><br/><a href="http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm"> Repair Install of XP...</a><br/><br/>I suggest reading it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/thru-3829405" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THRU">THRU</a> and printing it out before starting...<br/><br/>Backup any critical data 1st.Patio:<br/><br/>I've been secretly hoping for just such a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/response-771382" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RESPONSE">RESPONSE</a> as you provided. As soon as I finish this thank you/acknowledgment, I'll get things underway.

Now, if it only works...For Patio (and any others with interest in this issue):<br/><br/>I just completed the XP Repair. Had a number of framework.net error reports in the process, but I'm hopeful these matters will resolve once I get all Windows Updates caught up. My MCE disk had SP2 installed, and I'm downloading 74 updates following SP2 as I type this message. I can already accomplish the things which I couldn't do before (see the subject of this issue). <br/><br/>Thanks for the encouragement, Patio.No problem...and Welcome Aboard ! !<br/><br/>Not to worry about the /net framework errors...it just means certain apps are expecting it to be there and it's not installed yet...<br/>Windows updates should cure it.<br/>But keep in mind that .net is not the same as Service Paks...they are not cumulative...but standalone...so if it requests one that's not installed gtab the self installer.<br/><br/>Good to hear you're 1/2 way home...</p></body></html> | |
