Unable To Get Modem Option Back After Installation?
Mar 11, 2005
I'm running Win XP and I have a question about setting up a modem connection while already having a DSL internet connection.I would like to set up a modem connection so I could get on the internet whenever my DSL connection goes down. Here's the problem. When I open Network Connections icon in the Control Panel and click the New Connection Wizard, the "Connect using a dial-up modem" option is grayed out and can't be clicked. Does anyone know what I could do to get that option back?

I tried to reinstall win xp but it is barfing at my modem / router driver. It complains that the driver isn't certified by Microsoft, and crashes. I've tried rebooting and removing/reinserting the disc but the installation continues from the point it left off and crashes at the driver again.

Somehow I was messing with the shortcuts in my start menu and converted my theme to WINDOWS CLASSIC.
I went back to my DISPLAY/APPEARANCES settings and found that the WINDOWS XP theme option is now gone!
HELP! I feel like I'm trapped in Windows 95 right now. I actually liked the XP color/pattern scheme!
What can I do to get it back?

In WinXP, when you first enter a username and password for something, a window pops up asking if you want Windows to save the password. If you say no, this window never pops up again for that password. Well, I've changed my mind, and now I want it to save the password. How do I get this option back?

I bought my Dell 4700 about 6 months ago and was just going through the discs that came with it. I remembered that the Dell did not come with a Windows XP install disc in case I need to re-format. Is this normal? There is an option under Start....Accessories....System Tools to create OS backup disc. Is that what I need to make a disc or should it have came with one?

I'm building my first system from scratch, and have done fine up until the XP installation. This is by far the first XP installation I've done, so thought it would be a breeze. Not turning out that way.
It runs like normal until it gets to the part where it restarts and is supposed to resume/complete the installation. When it boots back up, it goes right back to the original Setup screen (Enter for setup, R for repair, etc). I've tried re-installing numerous times

I got this dell inspiron 1721 from a friend, and it had Vista Home Premium. I wanted to get XP back, so I installed it and then the system was dual booting and it took up 85% of my hard drive. SO...I tried to reformat it and just install XP, but the only disk i had was for my (gateway xp media center) desk top so none of my dirvers installed and then the whole thing became a big mess. Now, I have XP installled with most of the drivers installed, but now I miss Vista, and when I try to install with my Vista recovery disk, I get an error: can not install install missing or corrupt file e:sourcesinstall.wim error 0x80070570... or something similar to that. I have been at this for days on end.

Isn't the problem going from vista back to xp an sata driver problem? If you would disable sata native mode then boot from the xp cd it should show the hard drive and any partitions. The biggest chore may be getting the drivers needed for XP and if is a laptop they rarely come with a floppy drive, so during the xp install I don't know if after you press F6 if you can remove the xp cd and put in a cd that you burned the needed drivers to if a floppy is not available. People should have the freedom to choose whatever operating system they want without all of the headaches

A while back I was trying to fix something with XP. At some point I remember
turning off drag and drop on the desktop. That did not fix the problem I was
having but I cannot remember how to turn it back on.

I am unable to go into my windows xp desktop. The computer boots and stops with the following menus. 1. Safe mode 2. Safe mode with networking 3. Safe mode with command prompt 4. Last known good configuration 5. Start windows normaally. I selected each prompt but none of them let me in to my desktop. Instead after each booting it keeps on bringing me to the very same menus mentioned above. I need an immediate help that will help me solve this problem in order to be able to access my Desktop.

I am using some software that allows a number of differen communication protocols to the end device, depending upon which hardware is fitted to the device. One of the options we used to use when dialling in to a remote network was TCPIP/NdisWanlp, as distinct from TCPIP/NetworkCard when connecting directly to the network.I no longer have the TCPIP/NdisWanlp option on my lapstop ?

I am doing a project for school and can not figure out how to perform a backup. I follow the book but it does not work for me. I am suppose to make a folder on my hard drive, then put 3 .txt files in it and a subfolder. I do that and then go to copy it to a CD. At this point I am suppose to change one of the files and delete another one, I do that. Then I am suppose to run the disk and restore it. This is where I get lost. I run the disk and it says that the restore was completed, yet I can not find it. I am suppose to write about the changes from the original to the copy but I can not get it.

I have a Gateway computer with Windows XP. I believe my computer keeps going into stand by mode. The power button is orange instead of green. When this happens I am not able to turn my computer back on. I have to unplug everything. When I plug it back in, the light is usually still orange but I just keep hitting the on and off button until it finally turns green and the computer will start up. I will now shut my computer down at night but when I get up in the morning the light on the computer is orange again.

i ran hijackthis straight out of the .exe file and i can't find the 'backup' folder anywhere (admittedly i don't even know if there is one) but in turning off some start up items, i just went 'i'm so over this' and lost my cool and ticked 2 run.dll files....makes for entertaining computing, this much i know.question one: can i just 'get' necessary .dll win xp sp2 files from somewhere?question two: is this somewhere, a)over the rainbow or b) would i have to 'do something recover style' with the win xp pro disc that would possibly hang me over the edge of losing data which c) is sparsely backed up because d) i'm a tool. question three: above all else, it takes 10min for start up (yes the entire process) to occur which inevitably leads me to having to enter the password for the user (admin) account. is this because of the missing run.dll files or is it because i changed the password not twice but thrice and therefore i may have confused it a little?

If you decide to uninstall IE 8 Beta 1 and revert back to IE 7, you will likely discover that its entry in the Add/Remove Programs list does not offer an uninstall option, especially if you installed the XP SP3 upgrade afterwards.
This is how to uninstall it:
Navigate to the C:WINDOWSIE8SPUNINST folder and then open it to expose its list of files.
Double-click the SPUNINST.EXE file to start the uninstall process.
Ignore the warning that uninstalling it may cause some of your installed programs not to work.
Restart your computer when prompted to.
When you start IE 7 for the first time, follow the directions to select your personal settings.
Run a scan at the Windows Updates site.
