Whenever WinXP Pro SP2 is shutdown, the message "USRprbdA.exe - DLL initialization failed" is displayed. After waiting for a few seconds, the message goes away and Windows shuts down normally. Do you have any idea what's going on?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy wifes computer runs WinXP pro w/sp2, the computer boots up fine but when windows starts the winXP logo is all misconfigured, and it takes about 15 - 30 minutes for windows the completely start. The logo screen will look different each time windows is started. I will try to recreate the screen.This is a crude recreation of the display.I have gone as far as doing a complete format and clean install of WinXP and other programs. I still get the same thing! Could it be a faulty video card? (this one is integrated in MB). the MB is an ASUS A7N266.I will try using a spare video card to ruleout that possibility. If it is not a graphics issue what else? CPU, or MB. I saved many files to a USB drive I use for backups, is it possible for a boot sector virus to reside in the My Documents folder?I kept Norton AV, SpyBot SD, and AdAware upto date and tried to run scans frequently; however, these my not catch everything.
View 6 Replies View RelatedExcept for functions I hosed by changing settings, my year old Dell PC works and even sends e-mail and surfs. However, I must rebuild. I got the UBCD4WIN set, but have no way to build a CD. I have another computer but it is Win XP Home and doesn't have a CD burner.SO, my intention is to use the Reinstallation disk Dell supplied with my computer, and I'm wondering what to do to prepare for that. Our computers are connected to the internet via satellite. The XP Pro Home computer is primary, connected with a wired router. My machine I'm going to repair is then using a WIRELESS router.My question is whether or not I need to remove the wireless router before using the Reinstallation disk.

The recovery was successful.While the "The recovery was successful" is always in the message, occasionally some applications don't behave normally. A single restart cures this problem almost 100% of the time. Any clues what is happening?

This is because i have 2 versions of XP Pro, one in English and one in another language, so i was wondering if it would work. Also if it is possible, do i make separate partitions for each OS? If someone knows any good sites which is about this topic or has good tutorials of what i'm trying to do.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have reviewed the following thread and discovered that the solution does not work on my WinXP Pro SP2 computer.Solved: XP shut down window Jag11 in post#3 of the thread and the original poster applied this fix which worked for the original poster, CactusJack: Control Panel>User Accounts Click Change the way users log on or off, tick the Use the Welcome screen, then click Apply Options.When I click on Start, there are only two buttons at the bottom: Log Off and Turn Off Computer, and no green icon for Restart. The green icon can be found when the Turn Off Computer icon is pressed and appears to the right of Stand by and Turn Off icons in the displayed window (Turn off computer) at the center of the screen.Is there a fix for this problem - i.e. how do I get the Restart icon back at the botton of the Start button display? Or, is this how WinXP Pro SP2 is normally, and not considered a problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedInstead of getting the graphical splash screen with the blue dots moving from left to right across the screen before the user login screen presents, I am able to select Linux and boot up properly there. Each OS is on its own hard disk. I had earlier saved off each MBR in case I ever had a problem with it. I have checked the MBR for the WinXP disk (i.e. the 0th (1st) sector) on the disk consisting of 512 bytes. It checked out OK with no binary differences, so I am confident that there is no problem with the WinXP MBR or the partitions in it. Obviously there is a problem after control is transferred from the WinXP MBR to bootup WinXP.My strategy now is going to be to run the bootcfg /rebuild command from the Recovery Console after checking out the boot list from the bootcfg command - if I can get that far with the Recovery Console.I do not seem to be able to get into Safe Mode or the Advanced Options screen selection by pressing on the F8 key. My boot.ini file was edited OK and had an extra line to boot into Safe Mode, but that does not work now.
So, my theory is that if all was working as before OK, I should be getting the selection to boot into Safe Mode vs normal bootup with the changes I made to the boot.ini file. Since I am not getting that and experiencing the problem as described above, I am assuming that something is out-of-kilter with the boot.ini file.Also, my last shutdown in the morning yesterday went Ok. What I was doing before I shutdown for lunch was shredding files - everything went OK with no apparent problems, but I wonder whether something went adrift without being noticed and corrupted some files on my system - notably, the boot.ini file - at least this is what I suspect.Anyone see a problem with what I have in mind to do or have a better idea how to fix this problem?
I would like to know what background services I REALLY NEED and what services I have no use for. Can the forum members point me to a guide that can detail the services I can turn off in WINXP PRO SP2.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know that I can unzip things with WinXP, but can I create a zipped file? I tried doing this with a large adobe acrobat file, and with a jpeg file, and although it SHOWED a new zip file, when I checked the size of the files, both of them were only five kb smaller than before. That's not much, I'm thinking, lol. What I did, was to right-click on the file and chose "send to" and then chose "compressed (zipped) file."
View 6 Replies View RelatedDownload the "Corp" version of Win XP Pro, file-sharing or torrent, and then run validation, fail, and get MS to sell you a retail copy of 1/2 price. Do the same thing, download Corp XP Pro. Burn a copy to CD on a computer it isn't install on, make up a receipt, and go to the Library and do a search of newspapers for computer shows from a couple years ago.Fill out the forms MS gives you and send in with the CD and receipt, and get MS to send you a retail copy for free. OK, I'm not really advocating anybody doing this, just trying to make a point. If someone is gonna pirate XP to begin with, what makes MS think that people won't be doing things like this? Why isn't retail XP sold at the price that is being offered to people with pirated Windows to begin with?

2) I downloaded the Windows 7 Beta 64 bit, got thru the install to the point of "Updating Registry" and then the system lost power as with XP and did a soft restart.I am currently downloading to Ubuntu Linux to see if that also fails, at which point I definitely know I have a hardware issue. The question is: Which component? I am leaning towards PSU, with mobo in second. Please any insight from the pros would help.
1) I am unable to record data (mostly JPEGs) to a CD-R using WinXP Pro and my sony dru500ax DVD/CD recorder. I have in the past been able to do this with no problem using either the built in windows functionality nor Nero. Now I am unable to use either method and I don't know what has changed. Both methods get partially through the write process and fail (but nothing ends up being written on the CD).
2) I am unable to read CDs that were burned by my father on his computer. The disks clearly have stuff on them and I've been able to get to the content on other machines (at work, at friends, WinXP, Win2K3, etc) But when I put them in my drive and open the drive in explorer it shows that nothing is written on the CD
My WinXP Pro SP2 P4 desktop takes a very long time to boot. The time seems to be spent in a routine MBA (Managed Boot Agent) V4.30, which is provided by LAN Works Technology Co. of 3M Corp. The process identified is a boot execution executive named PXE V2.20. Since there is no LAN present on which a boot file is located, the process completes with "No boot file found." The booting process proceeds with the OS file located on the C drive. Is there a way to safely eliminate the MBA step?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is weird. I have to go through the shutdown procedure twice, i.e., Start/Shut Down/Shut Down and click Ok, then Start/Shut Down/Shut Down and click Ok again. It will then shutdown properly. The same thing happens when I try to "Restart." After doing the first shutdown sequence, everything is normal. I can open programs, surf the web, etc. It's as if I never tried to shut it down at all. Only after the second shutdown procedure will it shutdown fully. One note: When I go through the first shutdown sequence, my taskbar pops up and the desktop is darkened. After clicking Ok, the taskbar autohides and my desktop returns to its normal color.I have only had this problem for the last month or two. Before that, all was fine. It's not critical since I can shut it down. It's just annoying to have to do it twice.I have Windows 2000 Pro, SP4, build 5.00.2195.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need the name of the .inf file that the hardware wizard needs to install this webcam. The Logitech QuickCam Zoom v.8.4.6 software installs but the hardware wizard says that a required inf file cannot be found. I spoke with Logitech support and they had me uninstall the software using Add/Remove, then delete Logitech folders, and edit the registry to remove all references to Vid_046, then perform a clean boot. Reinstalled the software, when it said to restart, I clicked no, then changed msconfig back to normal startup, then rebooted. Upon reboot, I get the Logitech splash screen saying to connect camera to pc. When I do, the hardware wizard starts but gives the error that the .inf file cannot be found and the Logitech screen says that no camera was connected. (Should I have rebooted, connected camera, then changed msconfig back to normal startup?) I ran services.msc and find that Human Interface Device Access is Disabled. Could this be keeping the system from finding the..inf file?
View 2 Replies View RelatedVolume Licensed WinXP Pro is obviously the official name as has been pointed out ad nauseum. "Corporate Edition" doesn't exist (allegedly, actually I personally don't care if it exists or not), is seemingly subject to more demands for proof of existence than God himself and of couse the term "Corporate" means its a pirated version of the said Volume Licensed WinXP Pro which has also been screamed about like its in the bloody constitution or something. I call Volume Licensed WinXP Pro "Corporate" because its easier to say and write for that matter than "Volume Licensed WinXP Pro". Thats it it, just works better nothing more.
In all the time XP has been on release and I have been working with it in the industry I have never yet heard anybody at all refer to "Volume Licensed WinXP Pro" or anything remotely similar; they all from IT managers to shop floor builders call it "Corporate" or similar....
