New system build has a 320 gig Sata drive, 965 chipset. I have no floppy!I have slipsteamed SP2 and created a new install disk I checked it in old system it boots.The Gigabyte manual says I will need a floppy to install to a SATA drive.What options do I have one thing I am considering is installing on my old 80 gig IDE drive, then, after installing the chipset drivers and such, install the SATA and image the IDE drive to the SATA.
My Dell Dimension 4600 is not sensing the hard drive (Seagate ST3120026A Ultra ATA) on boot-up. This happened on first start-up after I used a utility to find and delete temp files and rid the registry of obsolete links. (I know, .... my wife has already said it several times.) I can mount that drive as the second hard disk in my daughter's PC and read every bit -- no problems at all.I'm using an Ultra ATA cable, and I've tried the drive jumper in both Cable Sense and Master. Sounds like the drive spins up, but the bios just doesn't think it's there.

On my work PC running XP SP2 when I do a Shut Down or Restart on about a dozen apps I need to Click the End Now button. I have a second PC at the office on XP SP2 and one at home on XP SP1 and on those I don't even see the window for the apps shutting down. On top of that the system can't take them down itself...I MUST click the "End Now" button.
I am having trouble getting the update files from QuickPayroll to run. The auto update downloaded the files, but they will not run, so I did a manual update, that file will not run as well. I can run most other exe files OK. What I have noticed is that the files that do not run also do not have information in the properties, like version and such. I have used file Anylzer to query for file information and these files do not have the same type of listings as other files. (Lack of or incomplete version, PE sections, headers). Question: is there something in XP blocking these files because of the lack of information?
MS windows update site will not allow manual download that I can see. It wants to download and install. Am I reading this correctly, or will it download and LET me install at my convenience? MS Instructions says to turn OFF AV before installing and I am not about to turn off AV while internet is turned on.
I am trying to download win XP, sp3, (for single computer, NOT for "IT" version) and it seems that MS does not want that to happen. I have spent the last hour searching for a MANUAL download of SP3, and not having any luck. Found several ways to get the "IT" version but there is a warning on the site, " NOT for single computers". I want to have a copy of SP3 for future needs and do not want to DISABLE AV while downloading. MS site advises to disable AV before installing SP3. Can anyone give me a link that will let me download SP3 and save to file, for individual computer?
Shortly after IE7 came out of beta I allowed Windows update to automatically download and install the upgrade....it failed, then I went to MS site and manually downloaded and installed IE7. Success. Ever since then I have been unable to downloaded eight downloads...see below.
Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP (KB950760) Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365) Security Update for Windows XP (KB950762) Update for Windows XP (KB942763) Security Update for Windows XP (KB951698) Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - June 2008 (KB890830) Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB950759) Security Update for Windows XP (KB951376)
although Service Pack #3 has installed itself....???...not sure how that happen. Its (SP3)listed in Add/Remove...I have searched the web and followed several suggestions...ie, stop windows update service, then delete several folders from Software and Distributions directory...restart windows update service...reboot machine...and still to no avail.........
My Windows Updater has stopped working. I get the following message when I try to connect to the Update site through Help and Support: "Cannot display the page The page you are trying to view cannot be displayed because the server it resides on does not respond. Please try again later." I've tried to go to several XP update pages via Google and I get similar messages. Has Microsoft changed something and not told us?
computer is on XP and I need to copy a data CD so it will work on my computer because the CD-Rom that I have does not see my CD" CDL driver's License Manual on my computer" The phone number on the box to contact the person doesn't work anymore. is there a encrypter that I can use to copy this CD. This cost me $75.00 and I'm piss ...I can't use my fathers' PC because his on it all day... and I mean all day playing games.
I would like read an online manual "cover to cover" to find what I am looking for.Which brings me to my current problem. I want to use IIS (Internet Information Services). Are there any directions anywhere? The first thing I wanted to do was set up three separate virtual directories. Searched Microsoft web site for "virtual", "directory", "virtual directory", and "IIS".
I am fed up with all the automatic update notices, but the only way I found to turn them off was in the administrative tools/ services settings. This got rid of all the messages, but now I cannot even manually download updates from the windows update without turning autoupdates back on. Is there a more elegant way to do this?
I keep getting this message: "wmi has encountered a problem and needs to close." I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it including:1. System Restore to a previous point2. Stopped Windows Management Instrumentation service and set it to MANUAL star 3. Stopped Windows Performance Adapter service and set it to MANUAL start4. Searched registry for entries that could/should be deleted (didn't find the ones I expected to see.)5. General cleanups including Registry Mechanic detect and repair. Norton Antivirus scan. Microsoft AntiSpyware scan / repair. Spybot Search and destroy scan / fix. Spyware Blaster update and enable all protection.
My computer was recently was infected with the System Security virus. I've managed to get rid of that through a combination of Spyware Doctor and manual deleting of the virus program as well as various registry keys. But now I have other problems with my machine. These are just a few:1. Copy/Paste function not working-no error messages; it just won't work
I have three microsoft updates that will not install. I have tried repeatedly to install them, however it is unsuccessful everytime. For now, I have put automatic update service on manual start until I can get it fixed as the automatic update service was eating up processor resources.
Probably once a day my PC will shut off and then restart. I really need this PC to be reliable and stay up.I have tried a memory test to see if it was that and it came up ok. I was also told it could be to do with drivers for hardware.If anyone could give me some advice I would REALLY appreciate it.
I had the box checked on the computers on my network to automatically go to daylight savings time. Because of a particular application, I decided that I didn't want to automatically switch back to standard time at 2:00 AM. I would do it manually later.So I unchecked the box on the server and all of my PCs on the 28th. When I got ready to make the manual change around 5:00 AM on the 29th, they were all already on standard time. Does this mean that the box only affects going to daylight savings time and that it will always revert to standard time?
I have been running windows XP SP3 and have been happy with it. But I was going to go with Vista on the new bulid (I can get it at a student discount) in order to have a 64-bit OS and have better access to memory. But this week's news has me convinced that I should should stick wiht XP until Windows7 comes out.
I do moderate gaming and lots of multitasking (many open windows, ITunes pumping to my home stereo, etc.)
So, here is are my questions:
-Is windows XP 64-bit even available anymore? - If so, is it worth it to install the 64-bit version? (will the diferences even be noticable?)
I just got a new custom computer with a ECS Kt600 Mb, AMD 2200 XP, Maxtor 80gb hdd, 512mb pc2700. Everything work great but when I tried to hook up my HP V40 all-in-one printer (USB cable), it will not recognize it at all. I changed cables but to no avail. I checked the ports and it recognizes my pen drive when I plug it in.
going to build a new PC and need a windows disc...was going to get a windows home edition......is it available in 64 bit version???if not what should i get...(NOT VISTA!)
possible for me to build a boot cd like BartPE cd, or Ultimate Boot cd, or 911cd, or make Windows bootable through my flash drive (through BartPE) when my Toshiba laptop came with Win XP Home SP2 preinstalled and an OEM recovery dvd, but not a separate Win XP Home SP2 installation cd?
I'm sry if i'm such a newb and all. But i think i installed evertying correct. Well becouse everything turns on all lights work, and it beeps, which indicate everything is working correctly. But then it goes through post so called and of course since it's a new build i have no operating system on it. Well when i try to put the cd in i can see the disk reading it but it just says DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK & PRESS ENTER. Well i got into the bios and tried the priority thing put cd rom first then it restarted still the same thing so then i went back into bios and put defualt settings were 1st floppy and 2nd hardrive and 3rd cd-rom. So i'm not realy sure wut do to

I am wanting to use 32-bit XP pro on my new build but cannot get it to install. This is to avoid dealing with XP x64 driver searches and I do not want to lose netmeeting and msconfig so I refuse to convert to Vista just yet.Also, I am not completely convinced my build is Vista ready.The 32-bit XP install BSODs after doing "loading all the setup files".I have ACPI set to DISABLE.The APIC option in the BIOS is unselectable and is set to ENABLE.
No, there are not any BIOS updates available for my MOBO.Yes, I ran memtest86 and had 0 fails on multiple passes.Yes, I tried default BIOS settings.Yes, I tried Fail-Safe BIOS settings
i'm new on this forum but i've been reading the posts around for a while.. right now i need help with my computer. i installed windows xp pro sp2 beta (5.1, build 2600) and now i need to remove this sp2 cuz it's screwing up my directx... i cant install directx 9.0c as the installation just goes extremely quickly and nothing actually was installed... after hours of searching i concluded that it was the beta version of sp2 that was causing the problems. the sp2 was slipstreamed (i think) with xp on the disc so i cant uninstall it using add/remove programs, i cant find C:WINDOWS$NTServicepackUninstall$ or anything like that, and i after removeing CSDVersion in HKLMSoftwareWindows NTCurrent Version, it was just backed up.
How to build a Wondows XP Boot with preinstalled softwares usin nlite.if i install xp (bootable) then it should alsoinstall winamp and winzip etc along with the os how to do this..
I have just built a new PC from new components. It boots into BIOS fine and detects all the drives - SATA HDD and CD. I have set up CD as boot drive, and installed the XP Pro disc. It immediately puts message "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration..." and then just sits there doing nothing. I have left it for a long time so far but nothing is happening. This is repeatable. Do I need to do something different eg load drivers from a floppy or is there a problem with my hardward set up?
I reformat the drives and during the XP Home Discs process of copying files for the installation, the process freezes the system anywhere from 11% at driver.cab to 54% at some random file (i didnt take note). I have tried 2 different XP home Discs (both legal etc.) and two different disk drives, though both are new. and still it is yielding the same result. I have also tried loosening the ram timings to 5-5-5-15 (they are rated at 4-4-4-12). No luck and this is beggining to wear me down.
I have tried three times to install SP3, (winxp) mob asus M2V-MX, cpu AMD Athlon (tm) 64 x2 dual core processor 4400, each time I get right to the end of the install and it says access denied, I disabled my anti-virus and firewall and tried to install it in safe mode, but I still get access denied, and each I have to do system restore to my pc to get back to how it was
I got in touch with microsoft and this what they want me to do, but to be honest I don't trust them I don't want to mess my system up, so would you please have a look at what they have sent me.
