Apr 29, 2008Just formatted my desktop and installed a fresh copy of XP Pro on it. I did a search on google and found that some people said XP does not support directX 10, but then when you go to the directX website to download it, Windows XP IS under the list of "Supported Operating Systems". So is 10 supported by XP, or do I have to download 9.0c?

Jul 7, 2008In the last couple of weeksI have been getting the following message:
"Please wait while checking system configuration" - in a pale blue box at startup. It sits on the top of all programs and will not turn off, even after a couple of hours, The rest of the operations work ok.
I have read an old thread on this in the forum, but it was never answered to my satisfaction, so I am asking again.

Oct 6, 2009My friend is getting the above message when trying to boot up he has xp home. I cannot get into the bios or safe mode. There are 2 options press f1 to continue or del for setup neither works because the keyboard does not work. I have tried a keyboard that I know works and get the same message. His dvd rw drive is also not working but that is nothing to do with this problem its never worked for a while even before this problem. It is computer made by tiny which went out of business, he has a reload disc but with the drive not working cant use it. Unless I can get hold of my sons usb external rw drive which I will try to do tomorrow. I dont know if it will work though as the computer is not going very far into the post. I have to put the reload disc in whilst attempting to boot up. I am thinking this could be a hardware problem,He had problems with his ps/2 ports a while back so his keyboard is connected by a usb to ps/2 adapter.

Sep 13, 2006We are using a LapTop with XP Home installed and SP2. I have been doing my best to clean a friends pc and speed things up. To date things have been going well and improvements have been noticeably made with the help of reading through several forums, sites and through my own experience. However, the issue I have at the moment is with several programs (which were pre-installed along with XP by the store who sold this Laptop) and in that there are NO uninstallers present. Not in Add/Remove, not in the Start-programs listing or in their respective folders. So, how does one remove these programs!? Some of these programs which I have seen at some sites as being recommended to have removed are `Sonic Update manager`, Sonic Record Now` and `Smart Hobby` etc. note: These programs and several others are not needed by the user of this pc.
I am under the impression that the only way to remove these programs is by deleting their respective folders and all traces within C drive and other drives (if utilised) and then editing the registry. Editng the registry is fine, though not all programs could be found there. Due to perhaps using different names in the reg as compared to their files in the folders. Also some reg files may be used with other software made by the same company but this I do not know. It becomes even more difficult as this pc is in another language in which I am not fluent. At all. I have seen snippets of information through this site surrounding my issue although nothing directly answered. Perhaps someone has an answer now that may help me solve this which would be great news.
Installation - Cannot Create Already Present
Nov 11, 2006i have just built a new system from some old parts of mine and some new ones which i bought, it boots fine etc. So i boot up my windows xp disc and it runs, i press enter for setup, f8 to accept agreement, then press c on the unpartitioned space to create a partition on my new hard disk, then it formats the disk, loads a load of files up and saves them, then it says that the 1st part of setup is complete and the computer will now reboot, after that setup is supposed to resume,
However it loops back to the start of the setup and i have to agree the EULA again and then if i select to install again on the now partitioned space it says i cannot create windows there as there is already a windows present, so i tried reformatting and creating a new partition and it comes up to the same part saying setup will resume after the reboot but it goes right back to the start again.
System Idle Process - Internet Explorer Version 7
Nov 18, 2007I am using Windows XP Home, on an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1GB RAM. When I have been using the internet (Internet Explorer version 7) I occassionally experience a slowdown of everything internet related. I check the Tas Manager and it shows my System Idle Process using 99% of CPU. I find this odd, as my system is clearly not idle cause I am using it! My computer is on a network, and I havent heard it happening to other computers on the network until today, when the same thing occurred on another machine in the network. any ideas on what it is?

Jan 4, 2007I have an old dell that had windows ME on it (yuck) About 3 years ago, I upgraded to XP and installed service pack 2. Since then I have set up 2 laptops, broadband and a wireless network. But the old dell in the office (the main one that the high speed modem and linksys is plugged into) needs to have the operating system re-installed again. It has reached its half life...a nuisance, a pain, unbearable, unusable! When I tried to re-install it wouldnt let me because the version on the computer is a newer version then the one on the disk.

View 3 Replies View RelatedExe Files Won't Run - In Folder Rundll.exe Is Present
Feb 17, 2005I had a pretty weak virus on my computer named "pe_weird" I believe it was. Basically just an old backdoor virus that I had on a CD with an infected file that I burned a couple years ago. I went to trendmicro and cleaned everything that was infected and deleted some non-essential files, but somehow I think I "cleansed" a file needed to run windows.
Now whenever I click an EXE file, it comes up with the "Open with..." box. Any exe file does that. When I went into control panel to look for system restore (which I hope is the last thing I have to do), any item in control panel that I click pops up the error message "C:WindowsSystem32Rundll.exe -- Application not found". However, when I checked in that folder, Rundll.exe was present, 32.5kb filesize.
No Sound Card Present After Reformat
Dec 27, 2007I started out with Windows XP home of my wifes computer. I got a Trojan that I could not get rid of so I scrubbed my hard drive and have upgraded to XP Pro. After having done that I no longer have any sound. I have scrubbed a few hard drives in my day and knew this would happen. So I went through the process of going to the companies website and did some looking for the drivers and found them. Downloaded them and said they couldn't find the sound card. I have an onboard sound card that came in our HP Pavilion a1050y. I believe the chipset to be Intel 915G, that is what the Intel chipset identifier told me no more than half an hour ago. But anyway, this has been going on for 2 days now. I have gone into the BIOS and enabled it and reset the settings and enabled it again. I have downloaded Drivers for 3 different Sound Cards that I was told it could be. I went on to HP's website and went through their instructions, and I have tried everything I can think of. The only other thing that I can see being a problem is that the Drivers CD doesn't seem to want to load, but I don't know what that would have to do with the my onboard sound not being recognized. I am to the point of getting ready to buy a new soundcard. I don't really know where to go.
