In an attempt to use her computer in our apt, she's set it up and tried to boot. Problem is, the computer is going to an error page whenever she boots with the card in place. The specific message is that file ar5200.sys is trying to write to a read-only memory. We then have to shut the system down cold as ctr-alt-del isn't working. So, it's locking up pretty well. With the card not in place, XP is booting fine. We are getting an error code as well, but the computer boots and is working (although running slightly slower). It says system is recovering from a serious error. The error report shows the problem is files in the temp folder? Searching for the specific sys (ar5200.sys) file hasn't given us any help. I just can't seem to find that darn file that's causing the trouble!
I have a Windows Media Center 2004 edition PC. It connects to my home network via integrated WIFI card.IS there a feature that could enable a Wake on WIFI as opposed to a wake on lan?there is no option on the properties of my wifi adapter, but i'm dying to know if this is possible?
I had 3 times a blue screen with: 0x0000000c5 (0x0007ef28 0x00000002 0x00000001 0x8054a10d) i haven't added any new hardware or software since building my pc. Is it possible it had anything to do with receiving a huge amount of email (i received some 100 mb yesterday) while i received those emails i tried running spybot s&d and that's when it crashed again. i since checked my ram for errors with the windows tool and after 12 passes still no errors. the only hardware which causes constant problems is my netgear wpn311 wifi card but that has been so since the beginning
i recently formatted by acer 5583wxmi and unable to find Lan driver for it any where, able to go online thorugh wireless but not through lan as driver is not installed where can i find my lan driver for acer laptop. i have installed linux on one f the partition but unable to enable to the wifi its working fine under xp but nt in linux.
Long story short. I want to restrict my employees from logging into ANY wireless access point other than the one at our work. Employees have access to laptops for work use and I want to restrict them from being able to take the laptops home and using them on their home networks and then bringing them back to work to connect to the works network. This will reassure that they are not bringing viruses from home and putting them on our network. Unfortunately since they are considered a "work tool" I can not stop them from taking them away from work, but I would like to restrict them from connecting to any other access point other than ours at work. Any suggestions?
My laptop is running on: Microsoft XP~professional version 2002 service pack 3 intel(R) pro wireless lan 2100 3b mini pci adapter Firmware~ 1.2.5.37 And the problem I'm having is that i cant connect to any wifi with a password on it. Any other device works perfectly fine and the password is correct. Also, when a Ethernet wire is connected i can connect to the wireless connection with no problem...
I am using a laptop and sometimes I shut the lid and put it into hibernate mode. When I open the lid again and the computer boots back into windows, the wireless internet doesn't work. Windows says my computer is connected to the wifi network but when i open firefox or internet explorer it just doesn't work. I am using windows xp pro.
One question anyone. Is it possible initate a direct connection between a windows mobile device and a notebook computer running windows xp through the wifi that is available on both of them alone? Without having to use any other hardware.
Is it possible to reverse connect a wifi router? Using the wifi router instead, of say, a usb wifi adapter? Has anyone tried this? Would this increase the range of a wifi network?
I always use the computer with user accounts with limited privliges. This is safer, right?I was trying to install the wifi router last week. Now when starting up I get the "admin" user account, not the Welcome Screen, with the user acct. icons. I have not made password for any of the accts., so I get the admin log-in, and simply hit return, and I'm in the admin user acct.. I can see the limited user's folders of documents and favorites, but I can't get into the user accounts.
Firstly I have a pc which I installed Win XP Prof onto. All worked great. Then took out modem card and replaced with ethernet card. Again no problem. However, when I went to boot the compute up a week or so later it went through the boot process and then just before I would expect to see the Windows logo with blue sky background appear I "sometimes" get a blue screen flash up with a message which you cant read unless you can slow down time and then the PC restarts and goes through the whole procedure again. I did manage to start in Boot logging mode and watch to see where the problem was. It seemed to be something to do with the Display adaptor. I found the appropriate solution on the web and although I now get further on into the boot, it still restarts. When i try to run the logging thing (!) it does not want to play any more and just boots in the normal fashion. I have tried defaulting the BIOS, checking the file system for damaged sectors etc all to no avail.
I have a PC with a built-in media card reader, and when I use the compact flash portion of that reader a certain program is always launched. I would imagine that initially I indicated which program to open. Is there any change to change that program?
Im not very computer smart...but i have AMD Athlon 64 processor 4000 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Graphics My guess is i have a good processor and a horrible graphics card...the games i play such as call of duty4 and ship sim 08 realy glitch on my computer so i was thinkin of getting this card called GeForce 8800 GT super+ 1GB video card...is this what i should get..??it costs aobut 200$
laptop has got the ZLOB virus and I am trying to get rid of it but I cannot connect to the internet because the drivers for the ethernet card are missing. There is no id on the laptop apart from the COA for XP and Z600 on a sticker underneath it. How can I find out what make it is so I can find the drivers. I don't mind paying for the drivers or a virus remover as long as they work.
While I was deployed my wife inserted an Mini SD card in to the card reader built into the computer. When she removed the card windows locked up, as soon as she reinserted the card windows worked fine. She removed the mini SD card from the adapter to use in her phone, and windows still worked fine, but as soon as she removed the Mini SD adapter from the card reader windows locked up and the windows would hang during start-up with out the adapter. Reinserting the adapter cured the freeze and hang, but windows ran very slow.I removed and reinstalled the card reader drivers and was able to remove the adapter, but windows still hangs on start-up with out the adapter placed in the slot.
I am trying to access the internet with my windows nt system but it appears I can't. I may have the wrong NIC card but I was told by 3com it was the correct card.
I'm trying to share folders between two laptops set up on a home wifi workgroup. Currently, both laptops are "seeing" each other's share folders (as mapped network drives), and both laptops have full internet access I have allowed simple file sharing on the XP Pro system. I have also set the firewalls to allow access, and I'm using AVG firewall instead of Windows firewall.However, only one of the computers is allowing access to the other. The XP Pro computer can access the share folders on the XP Home computer, but not vice versa. When using the XP Home computer, I can map the shared folders on the XP Pro computer, but when I try to access them, I get denied access.
My brothers computer recently developed a problem, its an old Dell optiplex GX1 500L+ and hes on XP pro he came home and the monitor was flashing the little lights on the front that indicate it being over range we tried an older monitor, as well as my own LCD that Im typeing on now, both had the same results, as well as in VGA mode the monitor acts normal up untill the loading windows screen, where it promptly goes blank and begins with the flashing lights but booting into safe Does work and gives us a picture, so I dont think it could be problem a problem with onboard graphics, so Im guessing its a malicious program that is inflicting this problem, unless someone can tell me otherwize does anybody know what would likely be the cause of this, or the best way to trouble shoot it, we already did a Repair installation,that didnt fix anything and I figured Id ask here on the tech forum before proceding to wipe his hard drive, my question on the forum is also a lilttle bit curiosity driven,
I currently have Windows 7 Ultimate (64Bit) installed on the primary hard drive but my question is will Windows XP work ok along with Windows 7 being installed as well like XP being on the same hard drive? Also could someone tell me what the limitations are for XP as I have 4GB RAM (Dual Channel) as I'll be installing the 32Bit of XP.
Also would XP crash at all with the high specs I'm running ? as I've overclocked my processor to 3.52GHz or doesn't the processor play a role in the stability of XP ?
This machine is about 5 months old and has been crashing occasionally the last two weeks after the machine is up and running awhile. I checked the system log and there is nothing leading up to the crash but I do get a crash dump for each one. There is nothing I can pin down as coinciding with the crashes. The vents and fan on side were blocked by a bookcase so I pulled it out in the open. Checked the CPU temp last at 37 deg c. Ran "Memory Diagnostic 1" (from download.com) 4 passes of all the tests were clean - this took about 15 minutes. Ran chkdsk on the Seagate - no bad sectors. I can't tell with chkdsk whether it notifies you when it finds problems. All appeared good there. Did the "auto fix file system errors" but not the search for bad sectors on the external WD Passport. I think I need to analyze the crash dumps but don't know where to start. I hear there's a MS debugger or some such? Haven't looked on MS site yet. Is that where it is?I'm thinking maybe, cpu, memory, psu as possible culprits. Can I rule out the video card? and the hard drives?
My friend was installing Norton and it froze half way thru and she ended up having to restart. When she restarted her computer (with WIN XP HOME EDITION) it loaded fine but now with a new problem. No program will load. I cant load Word, AIM, anything. I tried to do a system restore, but i cant open the program to do that. I cant explore the hard drive because that program wont open. I cant access the control panel either. The only thing that seems to work is IE, which is useless. I got the XP cd and performed a repair, but the problem did not change. I assumed there was something wrong with the registry, but i cant run regedit. Everytime I try to open a program I get a message that says "this file does not have a program associated with it for preforming this action" For some reason, no program will load, yet the computer starts up fine.
My IE has all of a sudden stopped working. I can still use MSN messenger, download, and even surf the web through Microsoft Outlook, but IE is persistent that no pages are avaliable. My Windows seems to be recognizing my internet connection as well, so I do not see what happened.I then tried re-installing IE, getting all patches (I had them all anyway), but the problem still exists. I am using WinXP Home with SP2.
I have an XP Home HP computer that is offnet and is used exclusivley with a TV as a photo viewer and music player. All work fine in either of 2 drives (Lite On and Samsung). Neither will play the audio to DVDs.
My computer has the so called hiccups. When I try to run something graphically, it will beep very softly and stall up then run fine, then beep and stall etc. I have no idea what triggered this insanity, but its gotten to the point where it will do it at random times even when i try to scroll, and it has done it during start up
i used my Xp disk to partition my slave hd in my desktop since i have done this i get an option when i boot of two windows xp to start.The first has something to do with me mucking around with the slave drive and the second is my actual sytem os It automatically tries to boot from the first and faulters saying there is system files missing.I can boot from the second option fine but i dont want to allways have to be changing options everytime i reboot I would like to know if there is a way through my bios (or xp itself )that i can delete this option on booting
Firefox is my default browser but I need IE for updates. IE acts like I'm offline. IE won't go online! An additional problem, which is older, is that windows update doesn't recognize my computer as having a valid copy of XP. At least I think that is why they keep saying I need to download a new software for future downloads, yet everytime I try the download fails. I'm up to date to at least the beginning of december 2005, and I'm desperate to download the new critical update.
I have a computer running XP Pro w/sp2 with a P4 1.8Ghz and 512 mb of pc 2100 memory.I recently did a clean install of the OS. Sometimes when I am running programs the computer will freeze up. The mouse arrow won't move and nothing from keyboard. It is fine surfing the web but will lock up with programs. No error messages come up either. I just have to reboot again to get going.Could this happen if my memory is going bad or something? Everything else seems fine and the OS install went good with no probs.
i fuond out that my . for exampe i take out hdd of my computer and put it into new one putting my hdd as a master. windows starts perfectly. as i know others can't do the same but i can is it something wrong?
I have been using my home built computer for about 3 months. I am using WinXP Pro. My CD-RW drive hasn't been seen as a CD burner. In My Computer, the CD drive comes up as "CD Drive (D: )". When I try to drag and drop files in the Windows Explorer window and then click "Burn to CD", it says there is no CD-RW drive. But when I use Nero 5, it works fine.
What is the problem and what do I do to fix it? (I'm not going to reinstall Windows!)
I installed XP Home Edition on a separate hard drive on my hp a6009n so I could dual boot with Vista Home Premium.Vista connects fine but XP won't.I only have about a week to activate it then I'm screwed.
when I power on my computer system, monitor and box, here is what happens.My box turns on fine but my monitor remains blank as it makes a click, click, click sound. Each click turns the green power light on and then off, on then off, for about 60-90 seconds. When the monitor finally responds and turns on I am at the boot page in Windows. Here is what it says: The previous performance of overclocking is failed, and the system is restored to the default settings.
