View 1 Replies View RelatedI've used Microsoft Configuration a hundred times, no problems with that. I alway zero in on Startup check or unch0eck something and leave it at that.Tonight I noticed a tab marked "service" and investigated. There are lots of entries, all checked off, and many of them refer to programs long since deleted. What are these entries, can I uncheck some of tjhem, eg the ones belonging to programs long ago deleted? And most important why is this section separated from startup?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently using windows xp on my computer. I tried to speed up the computer by making some changes in msconfig. I went to selective startup and unchecked some boxes in startup. The changes didn't make a difference after I restarted the computer. I clicked on diagnostic startup by accident, so I then clicked normal startup and restarted my computer. Now help & support will not work. It keeps saying that windows can not start help and support due to system files not running. I also can not log onto the internet. It says aol must download files first before you can access. I hit yes and nothing happens. I tried to run error checking and it won't let me because it says there are some things not running. I also went into system information and checked the hard drive and it says that it failed. How I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.

For example I have ghost I want It to run on my user but turn It off for other users. What I want to do Is setup a USER account for video editing and have no programs running.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question about Microsoft Configuration. First off, it's not there. I go to start > run > msconfig and get this: Quote: Windows cannot find Microsoft Configuration. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. I search for it and I find it, but run won't find it.I don't really want to have to put a shortcut to it on the desktop because my friends are idiots.

Everytime I try to launch through Windows Update it says it cant do it. SO I attempted to download and run it manually and it states that the program is not a valid Win32 application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAm I right in thinking that they are both pretty similar except that server has support for multiple processors and extra network related tools and facilities. The reason I ask is that if a piece of software works on Windows 2000 server, is it extremely likely that it will work on Windows 2000 professional too? As a bit of background information: I work for a small company which supplies temperature monitoring equipment which needs to be networked. I've been told that it has been tested on Windows 2000 server but not on Window 2000 professional.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have windows XP home edition service pack 3. and i use Microsoft office 2003, and well recently it began to pop up and say microsoft office word has not been installed for current user. please run setup utility. Well i only have one user, never had another user created until recently (temporary fix) is there anything i can do, the main user is called the owner, it says its the computer admin, but i guess there is still an admin user, i cant get to that. the only way i can get ms office to work was to create a new user, open all the office programs, export the office registry, and import it to my main user, thats the only thing that works, for a little bit.

Quote :NEW YORK (Reuters) -- A U.S. federal jury found that Microsoft Corp. infringed audio patents held by Alcatel-Lucent and should pay $1.52 billion in damages, the No. 1 software maker said Thursday.
Microsoft said it plans to first ask the trial judge to knock down the ruling and will appeal if necessary. It said the verdict is unsupported by the law and that it had already licensed the technology in question from Germany's Fraunhofer.
Alcatel-Lucent had accused the world's biggest software maker of infringing patents related to standards used for playing MP3 digital music files.
My computer started acting up the other day. It would teboot on its own. Then today, something sparked and smoked. I turned it off hard. Then after a while I turned it back on, but it said restarting set up and asked for the installation CD. I put it in and Windows installed, but my documents was all gone to about four months worth.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am living in a shared residence and the guys here are running wireless adsl. It is an infrastructure network using 128bit WEP encryption. I'm not sure about their hardware but I am using an asus 54mbps usb stick. I have no problmes logging on but for some reason the wireless config. program automatically checks the "the key is provided for me automatically" option in the network properties. Now this prevents me from getting access to the network after any sort of disconnection. If I uncheck this box the stars in the key field (representing the WEP key) dissappear and so the key needs to be reentered. It only does this some times and since I don't have a copy of the key (the network administrator enters it on my computer) every couple of days I need to get the key re-entered on my computer. It is a real hassle and I can't work out why windows keeps defaulting to this option of having the key provided automatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have stopped some services running to speed up my computer but I have noticed recently it keeps reverting back to normal start up and I have to go through unchecking the services that are not needed again. It may be since I installed 'iplayer' from BBC website which uses the Kontiki p2p network. This uses a utility called k services and k host which runs in the startup. I disabled them as they connect to the network even when the program is shut down. How do I stop ms config reverting back to normal please?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOn Drive C Used Space 11.2GB Free Space 137GB (NTFS)I am expecting this drive to fill up over the next 18 months. Drive D Not used at present condition raw 40GB (I got that from the properties tab - after I had tried to get Windows to format it). How do I change it from raw state to something that can be used? I also have Seagate Free Agent 250GB external backup - Not Used at present. I have some software called Spotmau Power Suite 2008 but I am not really sure how to put this whole thing together.At the moment when I start the computer (Drive C) it runs CHKDisk on drive D every
time.
1)What Im really trying to do is format Drive D. I tried to do that with Windows but it didn't work. I dint know how to do this so any advice would be helpful.
2)I would like to use the rest of the capacity for backup that is Drive D and the Seagate external drive, but Im not sure how to go about it. Can someone help please?
3)Am I right in thinking it would be better to use just the one operating system Windows XP on drive C and not put it on drive D as well?
I have what is hopefully an easy question: I have a windows "configuration" box that pops up quickly after I log in (XP Professional), then it closes down right away.It's like one of those "configuring personal settings" boxes that shows up after you install something, then reboot to complete the install. When you log in, the box pops up saying that it's configuring the thing you just installed.But this one goes by so quickly, I can't see what software it's trying to confiure. I uninstalled the couple of utilities that I had recently installed -- thinking they might be the culprits -- but it's still appearing. And since it's started appearing, my machine hangs for a couple minutes after login, like it's waiting for something to timeout. Before this started, life was good. Whatever it's trying to do, it's not being able to do, because it keeps running every time I log in. And my virus scan is completely clean.Anyway, my question is: does anyone know where Windows stores the information about installations or configurations that need to run on reboot? I've looked in the registry in the Run and RunOnce sections of both HKLM and HKCU, and there's nothing there. It's also not in the Startup folder.Obviously, there's some command somewhere that's running whenever I log in. I just need to find out where it is so I can figure out what's causing it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFreshly configured windows XP pro. installed SP2 that I had on a disk. installed avg free, when IE is started, an svchost program starts, and eats up 99% of the resources. I try to get the windows updates which I believe would solve this problem, but I can not. I end the svchost process and IE will browse to websites, but still cannot get the windows updates. how can I get the updates which I believe would fix, I have done this very same configuration with the same results on 3 computers, they were all fresh installs.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Compaq running on Windows XP Home has suddenly and mysteriously started running at high CPU's (almost 100%) at boot. From Task Manager, I could see that it was the svchost.exe that was running high. I contacted Microsoft and after 2 1/2 hours of shutting down literally every process and then slowly re-adding them, it was found that it is the wireless zero config that is running all of the CPU's. I am on a laptop (wireless through DSL - sbcglobal - and using a linksys router which is running at 11 - maximum connection)downstairs. I have NEVER had a problem until 2 days ago. I have added NOTHING to the computer.
I can sit directly next to the router (upstairs) and the CPU will drop, but not completely. When I plug into Linksys using ethernet, the CPU stops to 1% - and the computer resets itself. It will be fine the rest of the day. I have also had success unplugging Linksys for about 5 minutes (while sitting next to it) and that also seems to reset the CPU usage. HOWEVER - if I restart, either from warm or cold boot, the same cycle happens all over.Linksys gave me a patch, which has done nothing. They said if it was a Linksys problem, the patch would have fixed it.Microsoft can't help - it is a wireless issue.SBC can't help - it is a Linksys issueI haven't yet called Compaq because I am afraid they will tell me that the high CPU is due to a failing in my internal wireless. THE Presario 3240US IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN GREAT - NEVER ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS! Obviously, the computer is having to work too hard to connect to the wireless system, thus the high CPU's. And, when it runs high, I have problems with the internet slowing down. Anyone out there ever had this problem? Is it time for a new computer?
How can I direct the backup utility to use the CD-Rewritable Drive rather than the Floppy Drive?

Several months ago 20 new printers (IBM Infoprint 1532) were deployed across our LAN. Today I was told that the following changes need to be made by February: 1) In the printer driver properties, Enable the Duplexer 2) Under printing preferences, set Duplexing as the default. I was told that we techs need to physically touch each workstation to implement these changes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst, I had to make a small change to the SATA Mode from ACHI to IDE because if I didn't change it, it would crash with 0x0000007B BSOD. But after installing the Text part of Windows XP, i was moving to the GUI part and it said: Windows could not start because of a hardware configuration error. I am confused of what to do with it. I tried, fixboot, chkdsk /r, i even tried installing it again, but to no avail. Oh and one more thing. I had Windows 7 Ultimate at first in one partition. I installed Windows XP on the other partition, but it didn't work. In the end i couldn't even access my Windows 7 now. I need it for my school project.
