I've setup Windows 2003 fax services on a W2K3 server and shared the device. I've tested faxing from Word on my PC and it works fine.However, when other users try to install the fax client, the setup hangs asking for the fx* setup files. I've tried different XPSP2 CDs, copying the files to a local directory, making sure that the users have local admin rights (and even domain admin rights) but to no avail. The files are already in the system32 directory so in theory the setup doesn't even need to copy them. Even if I delete them, it doesn't work.Our corporate SMS team reckons that there isn't any policy which could
cause the problem.

I have two drives in my system. an 80gb and a 160gb. the second one has the xp home setup on it.
2 days ago, I did soemthing really stupid; I decided to put Vista Premium on an old 40gb. I disconected the 160gb and connected the 40gb. I left the 80gb on and left it alone.
I started to type in the cd key and went to the next screen where you perform and a clean install and I deleted the 80gb disk instead.That's not all-I stopped after I deleted the 80gb information and stopped the install. I reconnected my 160gb and left the 80gb alone. The 40gb was off my system now. I couldnt log onto XP Home. I was crapping my pants. I decided to do a repair but couldnt do it because the xp setup cd was crashing on reboots. Couldnt even get as far as loading the initial setup files.
I opened up my case and reset the jumpers on all drives to the master slave settings and made sure all the cables were intact-made sure they were reseated and working. I checked the BIOS and made sure all was well-it is.
Low and behold, I cant get anywhere-I have my xp cd that crashes right before the setup files are laid out, I cant do a last known good config-it restarts, I cant do a safe mode.

So I think I was affected by the SP3 update. I went out and got another harddrive to reinstall on since the other harddrive wouldn't even boot up. I can format the disc and the setup files load and then the system does the reboot. But after it reboots it ask me if I want to install XP and it takes me through the prompts of which drive I want to partition.

I have Microsoft Office 2003 on my computer. When I run disk cleanup, under the files to delete it lists Office Setup Files. I never want to delete these files. So my question is, how do I get this option for deleting these files out of disk cleanup so it doesn't check these files every time I open the program.

running XP setup from CD to try to do a repair results in "no installed drives found." when placed in another system as a slave, its found as quickly as the master HD is when its alone, and seems to function normally - chkdsk & surface scan find no errors & kaspersky finds no MBR or other problems. i even used TestDisk to rewrite the partition table and MBR to no avail. i'm able to copy off all my files, but would like to know if there are other things i can try. is there a way to XP setup repair / replace boot files on a drive other than C:? or can i use anything from a working system to fix the slave drive? can i ghost the partition and put it on a new HD and run repair there or will the boot problems be copied with the image?

Got new parts for PC upgrade. All parts new (including cables) but recycled HDD and DVD/CD-ROM.All bits connected and powered up last night in about 10 mins. Put Windows XP CD in, went into setup/ reformat process then PC needed rebooting to continue with Windows setup. Fine. or so I thought. rebooted, went into "Please press any key to boot from CD". IF pressed any key, went through the whole reformat, copy setup files etc. ELSE, just hangs on that screenie. No error messages or anything!Seems to me like it's gone into a loop, and not running the Windows set-up files copied into the HDD.

During the initial Windows XP setup, is it possible to copy the files from the CDROM to the HDD and then continue installation from the HDD? I have seen this done with Windows 98 via the command prompt, assuming it can be done with XP aswell, but after looking through Microsoft.com for 5 minutes I gave up searching

I mistakenly launched XP Setup and want to know how to stop it from progressing further. I have another XP installed on another virtual disk. Rebooting from there allowed me delete the Setup files. Or so I thought ! The main XP installation however continues to try to launch Setup. Just about whatever I do, it ends in tears. My question is how do I stop XP on this disk from thinking it has to launch Setup? I dont want to reinstall XP, as that will involve a huge amount of work to recreate my environment.

I dropped my laptop the other day. It kept working at first, but crashed a couple of hours later. Now, when I boot-up, I get the following error message:"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: System32/Drivers/Ntfs.sys. You can attempt to repari this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair."I've inserted the setup CD (in an external CD-Rom drive, since my laptop doesn't have its own drive). But for some reason, setup won't start, and I keep coming back to the above error message. How do I start setup?

I have Windows XP Home, I loaded a cd burn program that trashed my system. I tried to do a repair of XP with the recovery console on my installation cd. It came up with a need for an "asms" file, which is in my I386 folder. But setup refuses to load it. So I cancelled out but setup continues to load every time I boot up even without the cd in place. How can escape from setup? My ultimate goal is to get into safe mode for a system restore.

I am trying to do a desktop installation of a software program that is located on our server. The desktop installation is located in a folder on the network drive. When I get to the file, setup.exe, I double click on it but nothing happens. It does go into "processes" in the task manager. It lists memory usage, but no cpu is used.I installed this desktop on 24 other computers with no problem. This is the only one with this problem. Why? What can I do to get this to run?

I hooked up a friend's HD (to my computer) to install his version of Windows XP on his HD b/c his computer was having hardware-related startup problems we were in the process of fixing. In doing so, Windows XP installed setup files on MY HD. I run Win XP PRO. Not Home Ed., which is what we installed on his HD b/c that's what he had. The installation of Win Xp Home Ed went well and his computer is running fine now.Anyway, so now I have Win XP Home Ed setup files on my comp, in addition to my Win Xp Pro. Every time I restart my computer, it gives me the option of running Pro or Win Xp Setup. Not really a major biggy since I can just choose pro and go on to start my comp regularly. However, if I wanted to get rid of that and get those XP Home Ed Setup files off my computer, how would I go about it?

I havae changed hard drives and memory sticks and the same problem.

When I try to install Windows XP, it goes through the setup files (blue screen) like it's going to install and then I get a message that says "Setup Cannot Find CD-ROM Drive" blah blah blah. "Setup Cannot Continue". At this point it says to press F3 to reboot. So I remove the XP Disc and reboot. It then gives me an option of picking which system to log onto out of 3: Win Xp Media Center Edition, Win XP Media Center Edition again, or Windows XP Professional (which I've never had by the way. I have to choose the first one and it will go back to my computer. My computer has been having a lot of problems, so I just want to do a fresh install of XP and start over. I don't care if I lose anything

I had a botched setup of Visual C++ 6.0 a few weeks ago. Apparentlythere are still traces on my system. Whenever a user logs in Windowscomplains it can't find a visual C++ file. Spybot also catches it trying to change the registry. I have tried everything I can think of and cannnot remove whatever is left of it. I've deleted every file and registry entry assosicated with VC++ 6, checked msconfig, startup folders, and even ran a registry cleaner. Still cannot find where this pest is hiding.

I can't seem to run the setup.exe command. I don't know if it had to do with the recent virus that I had. I'm still using Windows XP. What happens is when I try to enter setup.exe in the run menu screen I get a message, "Please go to the control panel and install and configure system components."

I am new to this forum, so plz bear with me. I have the same problem as a previous poster with win xp. I was attempting to repair a flooder virus in my winlogon file(I know now it was an AVG glitch) and when restarting the computer my system went into a continuous start up loop. When I attempted to repair the os by replacing the file using the XP Cd; the computer goes into safemode, I get the error "xp setup cannot run under safemode", and the system reboots (repeating the process over and over).I don't want to do a clean install of xp. I've searched the web for hours trying to get answers and nothing.

I installed ubuntu, which correctly dual-booted with Windows XP SP2. I had grub as the bootloader. When I logged on to WinXP, I couldn't see my D:/ drive, which was in my Master Hard Drive (20.0 GB). I knew that it could not be seen as I had formatted it to an EXT3 filesystem. There are two partitions in my 20 gb hard disk and 7 in my 80 gb one. I could see the second partition of my 20 GB hdd using My Computer, and I could also see all the partitions of my 80 GB hdd.

I'm currently trying to install a fresh copy of windows xp. everything goes smooth until windows enters its setup and the computer stalls at "approximate Time Remaining: 39 Minutes" then turns completely off. It did this to me the last time i reinstalled windows but removing one of my sticks of ram fixed it. This time that hasnt worked nor swapping out any pieces, only ones i havent are my hd, mb, and psu. No error is displayed before shutting off.

When I restart the computer, it goes to a screen that gives me 2 options. Windows XP Home, which is what I use and Windows XP Professional Setup.I dont know how the Professional Setup got on there but it is always highlighted as the selection, so if I reboot and go away from the computer it goes into the Setup which doesnt work, and then I have to reboot again. I;ve never had this until recently, and need to know how to get rid of the Professional Setup one so I can just use regular XP. I've done a search for the setup so i could delete it but nothing came up.
