Running Windows XP on my laptop. When inserting any new plug 'n play device into any of my three USB ports, the Add Hardware wizard tells me that a device intallation is already in progress and I am to wait until that installation is complete. However, there is no other device being installed. I checked my device manager to see if anything is unrecognized, but no question marks. Any ideas on how I can install a new piece of hardware (in this case a USB memory stick)?
I want to migrate data from my old computer (98) to my new computer (XP) via serial cable. To do that I need to create a "Wizard Disk" for my old computer. I'm trying to use "File and Settings Transfer Wizard" on my new computer to create the Wizard CD, but that program doesn't recognize my CD-RW/DVD drive (E. The dropdown list used to select the output device includes choices for only F, G, H, and I, my 8-in-1 media drives. How can I get it to write to my CD on drive E?
When I try to go to safe mode, it works perfectly, till I have to log in, doesn't matter what I do after about 10 seconds it shuts down automaticly. Even if I logged in almost, it just shuts down right away after those 10 seconds. I already had this problem after a half year I had this PC (even after a few times formatting), and I have no idea why..
Someone told to run System Restore Wizard from 'Help and Support' in the start menu. But 'Help and Support' doesnt open. I click it but nothing happens. This is also since a while. The same problem with 'Search' and 'Run...'.
Does anyone know a way to fix one or both these problems? And is there another way to run a system restore?

I just recently ran in to a problem with the CD wizardof Windows XP.When I try to burn data on to a CD it keeps telling me to insert a disk into the drive, even though there is a disk in the machine.I have used other programs such as Musicmatch and HP's program called ecordnow and all work just fine. I have tried to uninstall and then reinstall the drive but to no avail.
Every time I start my computer I get the "found new hardware wizard" even though I haven't installed any new hardware. When I clicked on it to see what hardware it was talking about it told me it was Navex15 and was going to search for software for it. I canceled this, because I don't know what that is.
I'm using a fairly new install of Windows XP SP2 on my laptop.
Clicking on "New Connection Wizard", then select the "Connect to my Workplace" option which would normally allow me to create a VPN connection, is greyed out.
I've googled on this problem and found issues suggesting that
1. XP SP1 be re-installed (I'm upto SP2, which I've tried re-installing without success) 2. HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionTelephony be deleted (have tried this, rebooted, no success) 3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesRasManPPPEAP25 and 26 (tried this, rebooted, no success) 4. Find SR.INF and re-install (tried, rebooted, no change)
Having tried all of the above, I've had no joy at all. The VPN option in "New Connection Wizard" remains greyed out.
The problem did appear to begin when I did a System Restore after a bad s/w installation.
In addition - when I try to re-start the Remote Access Connection Manager Service I receive Error 5: Access is Denied. I'm logged on as a Local Administrator. I believe this is related.
Usually this will start on it's own. Today that is not happening. I have verified that everything is connected correctly. Is there any other way to start this?
Running every bl**dy time I plug in a USB mini hard drive? I've tried a system restore, searched some about autoplay- turned autoplay off and on, tried to find autoplay in GPEDIT, no joy there, irritating in that just the one USB drive does this, and it doesn't even have any pictures on it.
I seem to have "lost" the executable for the "scanner and camera wizard", which makes it easy to write digital images from my CF card to my hard drive. I know I can do some cutting and pasting to get the images there.
When I plug in my camera into a USB port, the Scanner and Camera wizard, which used to run, no longer runs, instead an explorer box pops up with the folder(s) on the memory stick. I can browse the memory stick, also. When I try to manually run the scanner and camera wizard, it tells me it cannot recognize the scanner or camera. Again, this was working, suddently it stopped.
I've learned now heavily about the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. I've also learned about the USMT, which I've not yet used in practice, but learned the basics of in the .inf version. Studying that was how I was able to learn this deep into the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Basically, the two have similar, but not exactly the same configuration.Now here I'll post the configuration for the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. I took what I found already there, and was adding features to it. I didn't create this from scratch, and it would've been silly to, as it's a configuration file.My issue is that whenever I'm saving settings, anytime I tell it to save something from HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the registry, it does not work. I was needing to know if anyone knows why, so I can correct it please.
When I bring up my start, all programs, accessories... and try to right click on windows explorer, to make a "shortcut", nothing happens.The item I right click on, blinks, but I am unable to move the item. Nor can I change the order, or create a shortcut to place on my desktop.I'm sure I caused this accidentally, but don't know how.
I have an outboard USB soundcard works fine with the generic drives on XP. However When I 1st tried to install it. I messed up on the install of the real drivers for the USB soundcard. These drivers have to be associated directly with the card on 1st try install because there is no auto loader for USB soundcard. I hit ok, at the wrong time, somewhere in the process. And now XP wont let me search for the drivers whenever I try to reinstall them by using plug and play

I have possibly a simple but annoying problem. Every time I restart my Windows XP Pro desktop the computer tries to install (unsuccessfully) a printer 2 times. During that process, the computer slows down extensively. The printer attached to the computer is installed and operating correctly. How can I stop my computer from trying to install an unknown printer?

Just built a new desktop with wireless built into the motherboard. The motherboard also has 2 LAN ports, but neither is showing up in my network connections or in my device manager. There are only two network adapters that show up, the 1394 Net Adapter and a Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter. I've tried creating a new connection using the new connection wizard but the LAN connection I try to create never shows up in network connections. I've tried looking for drivers that might help but I haven't found anything. Are there any steps I'm missing in setting up my LAN connections?
I'm working on a computer running Win XP. We had previously installed a second, bigger hard drive, so she wouldnt lose any space on her c drive, which is only 9GB. Problem is, she's now down to about 147MB on the C drive, and we are afraid of a crash. Can I use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move some of her programs to the bigger drive?? The new drive is 120 GB, and we want to just leave the operating system on the C drive, and move everything else. We have already run the disk cleanup wizard, emptied temp folders, and deleted unused programs (except for Quicken.it doesnt seem to want to uninstall.
Question/Problem: How can I remove the "upload using WS_FTP upload wizard" shortcut from my "right click" context menu?Answer/Solution: You can remove the option for the Upload Wizard from the right click menu by running this command (which you can Copy and Paste from here) in Start | Run:regsvr32 /u C:progra~1ws_ftp~1wsftpsi.dll(If you have installed WS_FTP Pro to a drive other than c: you should edit the command accordingly.)

1. When I try to run the Network Setup Wizard, I get an error at the very end that Windows was unable to complete the setup 2. When I select Windows Firewall from the Control Panel, I says that it cannot start the service 3. When I select Network Connections>Local Area Connection>Properties>Advanced (tab) it says that it cannot display some of the properties of the connection because WMI information may be corrupted 4. When I try to configure my Intel network adapter, it says that it "failed to load a network component" 5. Also, this is not related to networking but the Windows Updater has failed to install every update for quite a while now.
I was wondering if any one knows of a free program that does the same thing as the "scanner & camera wizard" that microsoft offers in XP?? I suppose I can use the one on the CD that came with my camera- But I dont like that one. I want to be able to plug my camera by USB to the PC and have the pictures downloaded right away- See, I was using the "scanner & camera wizard" that came with my pc (win XP) & have tried to get it to recognise my camera as it USED to do before, but it stopped.I have tried doing some troubleshooting.
I am installing an external hard drive via FireWire for a dedicated audio drive but New Hardware Wizard does not appear when I connect. Neither does it show the connected drive when I enter the Wizard manually in control panel. The FireWire shows to be working properly in Device Manager and the drivers are current.
