there is no imagine attached, but i would suggest you go to the web site for the manufacturer of the PC and get the latest drivers. Seeing that you have connection with a USB now.

you can do a repair installation. if you have a WINDOWS XP cd. OEM restore Cd will wipe your drive. so if you have a windows CD pop it in when you get to this screen
Press R to repair.

WARNING DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM RESTORE CD FOR THIS PROCESS. IT WILL WIPE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR HARD DRIVE

some drivers will show up as Microsoft. Is the remote connection to the pc a USB connection or a PS2. Basically you should not have to load drivers for the keyboard and mouse. UNLESS you want to use the extra features that comes with the keyboard (Most you don;t have to, they are in the Microsoft driver database)

IS IT a PS2 or USb connection for the remote section that is connected to the PC

I am working with XP Pro and would like to capture video clips I've viewed with microsoft media player and quicktime. Is there a way to save non-protected media? Please advise

are you talking about videos on your PC or from the internet.

Hopefully, when they created the new account they did not remove the OLD admin account. Also i hope they files were not encrypted. if they were lock then you would not be able to open that directory. if you are still admin on the pc you should be able to get the files from the old account.

To add to that Vista, Longhorn really creeps in Virtual mode. I use VM ware. as for adding more memory you have to shut down the VM then edit it select the memory setting and move the slider to what you want the VM to use.

a clean install takes less than a minutes once i start to add programs it moves up to 2+ minutes.

when you disable the on board controller did you ENABLE the pci slot. get the latest drivers, remove BOTH devices in hardware, then SHUTDOWN remove the pci card, restart the PC go in the bios disable both PCI and on board. then restart the pc. check in hardware to ensure that non of the devices are showing with any warnings ( yellow circle with exclamation, questions sign or red X)

Download this file and follow the instruction on the page Vundofix

then post another HJT log

In the games setup ensure that it using the right sound device, Some times game default to the midi controller. I would also look into updating the driver ,what is the rating on your power supply

is this a USb connection or PS2. Wireless or Wired, If its a USB try another slot or enable all usb ports in the BIOS.

Fedora, Ubuntu, all good programs and they will not affect your windows installation. although it would be better to partition the hard disk first. then install in the new partition. if you are comfortable doing the installation you can let the program shrink and partition the hard disk

that is a security feature in explorer to throw off key loggers. so if you enter a 4 character password it will fill the password box. While this is use to thwart hacker sand key logger programs IE stores the correct password so when you visit the site and enter your user name the correct password will come up in the box (althought it will like like it's filled in the entire password box the correct password is behind those dots you see. NOW when you change the password IE will not know the new password UNLESS you log in on the web page and it detect that the password is different from thats in the cache. it will ask if you want to replace the password.

Did you get a CD with the Hard Drive, it should have a section to create floppy disk with the SATA drivers

have you tried updating from the windows update site

when you get to the screen that show the raw partition, are you able to create a partition. ( Press C to create)if you can create one then you can move on to format it ( this should be with four choices 2 quick and 2 standard USE the standard NTFS option # 3 (most likely thats what would be highlighted)

IF you have an external enclosure for a Hard drive you can format with you laptop

Modem/router is this a single device or 2 separate devices. Most ISP provide business with static IP so if it's 2 separate devices you would have to call the company and let them know you want to set the static IP on you router ( might be an issue with the company) but give it a shot.

On ping to google it gives the msg..Ping request cud nt find host www.google.com. Plz check the name n try again.

Ipconfig give the foll IP add wen i connected the sys to the router via USB cable..
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address............................... : 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask............................ : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway....................... 192.168.1.1

In IPConfig /All, there was this Windows COnfig which mite be of some use..
Host name............................... : abhishek
Primary DNS suffix................... :
Node Type............................... : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled................... : No
VINS Proxy Enabled................. : No

this ip and default gate you are show is for a router. if you are directly connected to the modem you should be getting an IP address designated by your ISP.

at the command prompt, type ipconfig /release then shut down the PC. unplug the Ethernet cable from the modem then power off the modem for 2 minutes. AFTER the 2 minutes connect ONLY the power to the modem. WAIT 1 minute then connect the Ethernet cable between the modem and the PC. then co back to the command prompt and type ipconfig then press enter. tell us the IP you are getting

is this on a domain computer or a personal home PC

ok basically you will have to remove linux to install windows. if you can get a bootable XP cd you will be able to install windows after you delete the partition for linux if you have access to another compuer downlaod this program Killdisk you can use the cd Image or a floppy image which ever is easier to create

use it to deletes the linux installation then pop the windows XP cd in (ensure your computer is set to boot from the CD drive) this can be done from in the bios

easier yet if you have a windows 98SE cd you can run fdisk from the command prompt and remove the linux partition.

Will not do the upgrade cd is not bootable. can you start the linux system

Do You Have A Windows Xp Cd.

The whole add/remove windows components dialog/system isn't working at all, if I try to add or remove any components it fails and leaves 20-30 error messages in my windows log.

so how are you installing IIS. and have you checked for updates to vista

Hi all, I'm trying to install IIS on my Vista 32 Business and when I select anything in the Turn Windows Features on or off dialog it acts like it's doing stuff, then it just stops. I looked in windows logs and there are a bunch of "failed to complete the process of setting up the package XXX" errors. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks, d

when you say windows box are you referring to the add/remove windows components in control panel?
if IIS will not install check what version of the .NET framework you are running.

Port forward allows inbound connection through your router. If you are using P2P program like limeware, kazaa, emule, bearshare you would want other to have access to your shared files. It can also be used if you need to have external access to you computer from outside.

AND NO port forwarding will not make your connection faster

I must say i like it very much Although magic jellybeans give you the keys for most software.....i like the fact that every thing about your system is in one place for easy reference. VERY nice program.

yes

are you a sci FI fan

Ok...I am in desperate need of help!
I have lived in my apt for the last year, we have always had comcast internet and a linksys router. My roommate with the linksys router moved away so I went out and bought a new
WRT54GS to hook up with comcast. (I don't know if you need this info, but the account was in her name, so I created a NEW account with them). I went through the linksys set up cd and it set up the network perfectly. However when I try to go wireless all I get is "page cannot be displayed" even though it's says "connected".
I have been on Linksys support chat, and I've called their support line, I've gotten no help. They take me through the same things I've done countless times. I've tried to call comcast and they say they have no information for me, that Linksys is the only one that can help...no one is helping me! The internet works perfectly when I hook my modem up directly to my computer, so I know there are no problems with the network. My computer also can communicate with the router fine, I've entered the IP address in IE and gone in and done some things that Linksys said might work (though they didn't).

I've tried powering down, resetting the router, cloning the mac address....I don't know what is wrong. And everyone wants to charge me $200 to come out and help me...

@ forumdude - He got the magic wand to wave any post off the site.

but why overclok when you can get top speed overclocking works best when you have a supercool system lots of fan with cool dry air flowing through the system
Overclocking generates almost twice the heat the unit is rated at.
Also if you are going to overclock ALWAYS use the manufacturer software then come with your board.
Another note overclocking works best for some things and will crash your system when running some programs. stuff like games will demand more from the processor and will cause it to heat faster thereby creating the potential for greater damage.

sounnd to me like an infection indeed. after cleaning let us know if this still happens

@ caperjack if you say it's good i definitely have to try it, also if the updates log files are deleted windows will act as if the updates were never installed. i have this issue many times. maybe that;s why the program is reporting them as needing to be reinstall

Hugh he did a search and did not find her pst file more over when you are on a server MOST of the time the mails are left on the server for the simple reason of having access to them from any where. web mail or from any internal network PC

if you want to set a bios password a word of caution.

Don't forget the password
and the password can be reset by anyone how have some computer knowledge..

With that said you can set 2 type of bios passwords. one to prevent access to the bios and the other to prevent someone from starting the pc. the latter would have to be entered EVERY time you start the pc before windows start.

right click on my computer then choose properties then go to the advance tab, in the startup and recovery section click setting then choose which operating system you want to be started by default and set the time to display the menu. in the event you want to choose between the 2 operating system

if windows is crashing the pc its one of 2 thing
1 you are infected with any or all of these: trojan, spyware, virus or malware.

2 windows explorer might be corrupted. this can be cause from registry strings in the wrong place.

you can either do a scan or do a repair of windows.

remove Hdd, CD drive, any other devices you have attached. Connect ONLY the MONITOR. BUT make sure that the power panel on the mother board is configured correctly stuff like reset and hdd light can wait then power on the pc the first thing you want to see is the CPU fan turning. if that does not happen stop and check the power panel. if after verifying EVERY connection is correct and you still not getting any power, verify PSU fan is turning.

DO NOT BYPASS THE POWER SWITCH

see if you can get another copy of windows cd wish i was next door to you i could lend you mine

same as caper said. Also is the a full version of vista or an upgrade. is it retailed or made by you.

IT'S A NICE DAY FOR DRIVING, DON'T F@%$ IT UP

Mcafee Virus scan enterprise, AVG free and norton endpoint V11

Other i have used NOD32, Norton Corporate, Zonealarm suite, Norton 360 these are very heavy on system resources.

if the installations is stopping at the cab file there is something wrong with the cd.

for edit to work you have to be at the C:\windows directory if windows is not installed then you will not be able to get this done.

the restore cd should wipe the drive clean of all previously installed programs. then it will install all the programs that came with the PC from the manufacturer.

this is either in your autoexec or config files REM meaning do not load a certain line or section of the config or autoexec file. go back to the command prompt and type edit then enter, when the screen comes up hit ALT+f choose open and located either files and look for the rem section in there

>>>>belarc Advisor <<<< what type of program is this.
were the windows updates from the windows update site.

is this a clean install of windows. you are most likely missing the drivers for the sound device

what type of computer laptop, desktop, dell, sony, HP

I've noticed many others have had the same problems... I'm one of those guys that has to take things apart to see what makes them work, knowing only a little and always getting myself in over my head. Yesterday the computer decided to quit while sitting there quietly running. It does not power up. The little green light on the board is on. I swapped out power supplies, same thing, no response. I jumped the green power feed on the harness to the board with a ground and the fan on the power supply comes on. I disconnected the power switch to the MB and jumped the terminals on the board, nothing. I disconnected all the flotsam and jetsam from the MB and then tried to power up, no beeps, no fan on the cpu, nothing except that evil green light. I disconnected the power cord, pulled the bios battery out, jumped the bios terminals to clear it, then put everything back, no difference. This is an intel d865gvhz MB which I replaced just a year ago, to fix a seabreeze MB that did the same thing! Any thoughts for a backyard wanabe?

The green light you are seeing is a warning light (safety feature) to let you know the mother board has power. what's with all this shorting and jumper you are moving around on the board. are you doing this will power to the board. If so you might have just killed the board. For a person who …

what is a split.

as long as you have all your document and web designs you put it on the server giving access to all internal user it's like hosting your own web site. similar to how you would create a file share for users.

if you are not geting anything on the screen then some thing is wrong with the video card of the mo board is dead.

Remove all connected items including the video card, then connect the video card ONLY, then try to boot, see what happen

the player is free as an individual download. if you have the Ace or workstation version the player is already in there.
