I am trying to load win XP Home edition service pack 2 onto a laptop that currently has no internet. It runs all the way through and right at the end it says "Access Denied" or something of that sort, then it uninstalls automaticlly. What is wrong? Or how do I fix it and bypass whatever problem it may be having.
View 8 RepliesI have a Crystal WDM Audio soundcard and the driver keeps uninstalling itself everytime I restart my computer - at least that's what I think it's doing. If I try to play a music file or watch a video I get an error telling me no soundcard is installed, and if I install the latest version of the driver for my card then the problem is solved, but only until I shut my computer down and start it up again the next time. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I've check the pc system and the general information shown that the pc is registered to a user name "user" where my window username is something else "Vicky", could it be the reason? How do you change the information on the system General tab

I have disabled powermanagement in bios, in display settings under the Power settings they are all set to Never hibernate is unchecked but it still keeps going to standby
Every time you open an program or window in my wife's computer it immediately goes into hibernation mode. You can then go back into window/program out of hibernation, but then it immedaietly returns to hibernation.

She assures me it used to lock.Before I delete her profile etc. I thought I'd ask on here in case it's a registry setting or something simple that I've missed.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having this problem where my computer keeps shuting down (automatically) when I log in, right when the applications are loading. The message that popped up varied quite a few times, when of the messages I've seen the most is: "imjpmig.exe-dll initiation failed" and "the application is shutting down".Also, how do you change your BIOS (I'm so used to Win ME) with XP? Which button do you press and when do you press it?

Here's my problem: My computer can't boot up properly. It can get to the Windows XP moving blue bar page but it wouldn't boot up to the welcome screen and the OS. Instead my monitor blanks out, but the power signal is still on as displayed on the CPU.
Strangely if i leave my computer on like this, it will restart back to the DOS startup page and a cycle repeats. I tried restarting manually and the windows options menu turns up, telling me to choose various options to boot, including Safe mode, and Last Known Good. I tried going to safe mode, and last known good configuration, but it wouldn't work, it just somehow restarts my computer to the DOS startup.
When I switch on the main power, the computers starts automatically ie. without switching the CPU. The following message is displayed on the screen 'CMOS settings wrong.Press F1 to restore defaults and continue' Upon pressing F1 the machine starts. I do'nt know how to set CMOS settings right Time/Date settings change automatically.
I cannot install any software.Messages like file missing.Cannot open installer pkg.Contact your vendor etc. I do'nt have the installation cs availablewith me.However when I try to repair/reinstall with the help of my other win xp cd, i get the message 'key no. is wrong.I cannot format the c: drive from within.
I have a campaq notebook that runs windows xp, when I start up it does fine until I click into the user name. Once it gets to my screen the windows installer automatically pops up and tells me it is preparing to install photogallery which to the best of my knowledge I don't have. It atempts to install until a screen pops up that says omething about needing a cd to install. If you cancel out it tries it atleast 2 more times. It is really agrivating me as it takes almost ten minutes to get through all of this before I can do anything else. If someone could help I would be greatful. I already tried to unistall the program and it isn't there.

I click on the little yellow shield, and it says there's an update waiting. I tell it to Express Install. It does, and says it's finished. Later, I click on the shield again, and the same update is waiting to be installed.
Message displayed during installation:
Initializing installation... done!
Installing Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB928366) (update 1 of 1)...
I've "installed" this update at least three times. And I've already got SP 2 installed, so why does it keep wanting to install something from SP 1? How do I make it stop?
