XPMode Keeps Crashing When Clicking USB Tag In VMWindows
Nov 4, 2011
got a problem with WindowsXP Mode running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
The Vm starts up nicely, XPmode is loaded, however if I click the USB tag in the upper bar, XP Mode, and the whole host Windows 7, does crash. The "tipical" Microsoft Blue Screen comes up stating BAD POOL HEADER... and something more, that I cannot read in time, as all flashes and System goes down.
Already uninstalled and re-installed Latest MIcrosoft release of both Virtual machine and XPmode application, unsuccessfully. Quite strangely this happened after having Scrapped my SSD and reinstalled Windows 7 from scratch, due to a Windows update unrecoverable error .

I recently opened up an external hard drive of mine and attempted to open a specific file that contains video files. I don't know what type of files are contained within this folder, I just know that they are videos of some sort. My issue here is that when I click on the folder windows explorer will immediately freeze and upon clicking anywhere within the window or any other windows explorer window I receive the windows explorer is unresponsive with the usual restart, close and wait options. I have disabled thumbnails and there are no DivX related files on my computer and none found with shellexviewer. Although selecting it causes crashes, through my antivirus I am able to locate the folder and scan it though I can not open it.

Trying to print from DOS in XPMode.
Here is what I've done: windows 7 host and XP Mode are all members of same work group. Printer installed and tested on windows 7 host Windows 7 host has an 8.3 name. Both Windows 7 and XP dirvers for printer obtained Shared printer from Windows 7 host. Confirmed that other networked xp boxes could print to share.
Attempt #1:
1. In XP Mode, click USB, attach printer, installed drivers.
2. Printed test page from XP Mode, prints OK.
3. DOS printing did not work at this point, understandable as LPT1 was not mapped, at some point while I was playing around with this the virtual machine locked up and I had to reinstall xp mode.
Attempt #2:
1. In XP Mode, cmd prompt: NET USE LPT1 \windows7hostprinter /persistent:yes
2. Receive error 88.
3. Went to XP Mode printers/faxes - File - print server, drivers, add...
4. installed xp dirvers to XP Mode machine
5. Attempted to open printers/faxes in xp mode, virtual machine locked up, had to reinstall xp mode.
For attempt #3
I plan on doing the same as attempt #1 (usb/attach) but this time share the printer from xpmode, then try NET USE on that XPMode share.
If that fails, then for attempt #4 I will retry Attempt#2, but at XPMode cmd I will try NET USE LPT1 \tsclientprintername If that fails I don't know what to try. The machine is at a client's office and I don't have ready access to it. I have locked up the vitrual machine 3 times and reinstalling xpmode takes a while, so I'm limited on how much I can do in a session.
Does anyone know how to actually get this to work (LPT1 DOS print from XMMode to windows 7 host local printer)? Could the printer driver be causing the vitrual machine to lock up? Should I try a different printer? Sorry, I don't remember the exact printer - it's an HP officejet model.
So to summarize there seems to be a few possible options:
1. Share from windows 7 host, in XP Mode NET USE that share (fails with error 88)
2. Share from windows 7 host, in XP Mode NET USE \tsclientprinter (have not tried this yet)
3. USB attach in XP Mode, then share in XP Mode, then NET USE the XPMode share (have not tried this yet)
Obviously a NET USE LPT1 has to be in the equation but I don't know the proper way to share the printer and then access that share.

Installed Virtual PC with WindowsXPMode. Seems to have gone fine but, when I start an application there, it appears in a very small window - too small to really use the application. In WindowsXP if you press Alt-Enter the application goes fullscreen but this doesn't work , neither does dragging the sides or corner.

I want to open some old files on an old external NTFS hard drive formatted in WinXP on my win7 laptop that recognises but rejects the old XP-formatted disk as an "invalid disk".
Rather than installing XP on the laptop as a dual boot along side Win7, I would like to know if I install XP-mode Virtual PC on my Win7 laptop will I be able to open my XP disk from within the XP-mode Virtual PC?

Almost every time I click (Open windows, maximizing windows etc, etc...) The whole screen will blink and I will see a brief (Not Responding) which only lasts for a split second, then I can resume my work, in the worst of cases this can happen 9 or 10 times until the computer actually responds and selects what I want it to.I have recently upgraded my graphics from a ATI Radeon X1200 (Old and useless) To a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS. ALL of my drivers are up-to-date and a system restore is not an option.

Currently when I add the restart.bat (shutdown -r -f -t 0) into gpedit.msc -> User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts -> Logoff, there is like a 20 seconds delay.So the student would click logoff and then it would show the login screen for ~20 seconds before restarting. The ~20 seconds is problematic when another student types in her account credentials and starts logging in, only to have the computer restart in the the middle of the profile loading.
These computer are Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit on windows domain environment. CPU is QuadCore, with no programs running. I have no control over the domain stuff, only able to bind computers to the domain.

When a sound plays on the computer, it makes a funny clicking noise at the end of it almost like it has got stuck- The problem can be temporary solved by changing the audio settings but when you log off and back on the problem still persists.

Vaio VGN-FW510F with W7 Home Premium - This has happened a few times but I can usually fix it by running system restore. Whenever I try to open a folder by simply double-clicking, it brings up an error message stating that I do not have a program assigned to perform the requested action. I checked my defaults and windows search is assigned to handle folder browsing. The only way into the folders is to right-click and hit Open, but along with that, cmd (in bold) is the first option in the right-click menu. If I click it, it says the same thing as trying to double-click.

Notepad seems to have lost its association to .txt files somewhere along the line. If I double click a .txt file, the command line window appears. Is there a solution? I've tried re-associating txt files with Notepad to no avail. Also, the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' check box is greyed out in the 'Choose default program' dialogue box.

Whenever I click on a object (a file, hyper link, for example), or if I highlight text, when I left go of the left mouse button, it doesn't let go. So if I move my mouse around, it will continue to highlight wherever my mouse goes until I left click again. This never happened until a few months ago on any Windows computer I ever used that I can recall.
This was originally happening on a Windows 7 Home Premium computer, and then I switched to a Windows 7 Professional computer last week and I experienced the same problem. I thought it would be my mouse, so this weekend I bought a brand new mouse, but the problem continues to occur.

I have an issue with my computer that is extremely annoying since it repeats over and over again. The issue is that a sound similar, if not identical to the "Page Loaded" sound from Internet Explorer. I haven't used Internet Explorer in two years, instead I use Firefox 3.16.16. This noise is not only annoying but scares me that a virus or trojan is running in the background using Internet Explorer to download more viruses (Which is the reason why I switched to Firefox in the first place.) The sound is so annoying that I literally have to mute my headphones and speakers to prevent that noise from playing. The sound plays even when Firefox isn't running and even plays when I'm playing some video games. I've had this problem before (With what might be my other computer, but it could very well be this one)[CODE]

I have an Acer Aspire laptop that is giving me problems. When I use the touchpad it is like it is on auto-pilot. I move it around and it just starts clicking on every icon it hovers over. When I press F7 AND FN IT DISAbles the touchpad and I can use it fine with the mouse. Is this something that is wrong with the mouse/touchpad settings, a Virus or something else I am not considering. It is actually doing the same crazy stuff when using an external Mouse. It is just clicking things automatically when I move over the icons. It is also happening in safe mode. It is like the Laptop is on steroids. Suggestions ; Software, hardware or a virus. I just replaced the screen on the Laptop

Recently, I purchased a built computer from a small PC shop. I had trouble connecting to the internet, so the technician who built it came and added a network adapter card and changed some settings. (Not sure what he did.) After he left, my drives were not detected at all, not in My Computer nor in Device Manager so I did a system restore, which got the drives back but then I had trouble connecting to the internet again. So, I undid the system restore and connected OK again. A day later, I noticed I could not open a disc by double clicking on the drive in My Computer. I have two optical drives and its the same with both drives. I can right click and open to view files but not play disc. ( Movie nor music.) I can play them through the autoplay dialogue box though. I went into safe mode and tried and they will play in there by double clicking the drive. What happens when I try to play by double clicking the drive is I got a message first saying, The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs Control Panel. I checked the Default Programs and they were set properly. Then, when I tried double clicking the drives again, got a different message. This time saying, Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item. I also ran MalwareBytes and MSE in both normal and safe modes. Nothing was detected either place. I also went into Device Manager and uninstalled the drives and restarted my computer for them to be detected again and they were but still didnt correct the problem.

The main reason I joined is because my windows 7 has a serious clicking problem. I drew the line when I tried to open "advanced network sharing settings" from the control panel. I clicked and clicked but it wouldn't open. This same problem occurs with lots of other functions with the control panel and the OS in general. I am an administrator and I can assure you it is NOT a hardware problem.

I've been having a problem where my mice (I've tried several) don't click (left or right) when I'm holding an alphanumeric key down.For example, I'm playing a video game where I need to move (w,a,s,d) and click at the same time, but am unable to. I am able to click while holding down shift or click. Also, how would I go about updating the mouse drivers? I downloaded a zip file from dynex for my DX-WMSE (model) mouse.

Single mouse clicks become double, triple, or even quadruple clicks. I have tried going into Control Panel > Mouse > Double Click Speed and repeatedly changed the slider from fastest to slowest and vice versa without satisfaction.When trying to simply move a window by dragging it to a new location the window will suddenly jump up to take up the entire screen, even when I don't want it to.

I'm on a Lenovo Thinkpad T530 laptop that's about four months old. I had a key pop off and Lenovo shipped me a new keyboard, so I replaced it myself. Since then, I've had issues where every 20-30 minutes, the left click will start clicking on its own (the key is not stuck, it is not a physical hardware issue).Obviously, I figured that the problem came from the new keyboard (since I had the computer for three months with no problem before I replaced the keyboard). So I took the keyboard out, cleaned the inside of the computer and the pin connections with some compressed air, checked to make sure there wasn't any visible damage (nothing crushed, bent, or missing as far I can tell) and then put it all back together again. No luck, the problem persists. Just in case it isn't keyboard-related (doubtful) I am running a full system virus scan using MSE as I'm typing this, but I really think that there's something wrong with this keyboard. I uninstalled and reinstalled the PS/2 keyboard drivers and Synaptic touchpad drivers, to no avail.

I have windows 7 64 bit ultimate installed with SP1 I am not sure when this issue began, it used to work just fine at one point months back.basically certain system based icon, for example My Computer, Network, or anything at the bottom near the clock, such as Windows Update, or the Network Access icon I can right click on it them, and click properties, but nothing happens, with Windows Update, the icon doesn't start the program. On My computer i can do anything, with right click function, rename, map network drive, manage, etc. just no properties.I also noticed this in the Control Panel, for example, I click on Display, then i click on Adjust Resolution, nada. Calibrate color works, but Change Display Settings doesnt.

it now rapidly left clicks stuff and will not let me left click for a couple of seconds. it also randomly highlights. it's been doing this for about 2 weeks now. i've tried changing the usb ports for the mouse, also switched between 2.0 and 3.0. i've tried screwing around with the dpi, all kinda stuff, nothing works. it's a razor naga, also i can upload a video to Internet of what the mouse is doing. it's really annoying because i play starcraft and fpss professionally and not being able to left click sometimes really really fucks me up.
