Cannot Ping Winxp Pc's

Sep 16, 2005

I cannot ping xp computers. I can ping win2k machines all day long. The xp boxes are running
sp2, but I have a policy in effect that disables the firewall. I also have a
policy in effect that renames the administrator and guest accounts. IF the
firewall is disabled is there any reason that any of these machines would
not respond to a ping request. Wouldn't be a big deal, but my print tracking
app requires it. All XP machines can communicate with the network just fine.
I can ping anything from each XP machine successfully.

WinXp Freezes After 1 Min

Sep 9, 2010

When I opened up the case, the northbridge heatsink clip had snapped off. I put the case on it's side and reseated the heatsink, and put a case fan over it. I reformatted and installed winXP. The computer freezes a minute or so after entering windows. Also ran ubuntu linux off a usb stick and it would freeze after 5 or so minutes. Ran memtest and no errors after 9 hours, Speedfan s.m.a.r.t says the hard drive is fine. I booted into Safemode, and ran orthos small ffts cpu test, and no errors after an hour.

Scandisk Munched My Docs

Aug 12, 2007

I've just run Scandisk on XP, which has converted the My Docs folder to a file, and given me the error message 'insuffucient disk space to restore files' or something similar. Now, my My Docs folder is gone, and in its place I have an 8kb file 'My Documents' of type 'file'. I've searched for .chk files, but there are none. Is there any way to restore my folder?

Scandisk Stuck At 0% Every Startup

Mar 20, 2006

Out of no where my computer has started running scandisk each startup (after proper shutdown). On top of that, scandisk gets stuck at 0%, and won't budge. I've tried starting up in safe mode and I can't even do that. Currently I have to wait for the scandisk screen, and press a key within the 10 seconds so scandisk doesn't get stuck. I would like to be able to run it completely and have it not bother me every start up.

Dual Boot With Winxp Mce And Pro

Nov 15, 2007

I have a Gateway FX530XM desktop which came pre-loaded with Winxp mce. I believe that mce is the cause of a lot of problems I've been having so I want to install winxp pro as a second OS.I have created a new primary partition on my HD and set it as active then rebooted with the winxp pro cd in the drive.The cd gets read and I can see my HD access light blinking. The installer asks me for a cd with a qualifying OS because my winxp pro is an upgrade. I go through this and then the installer goes to the screen that says to select a partition to install to. The problem is that what is displayed is several lines saying there is no hard drive to install to. Quite strangely, if my external hard drives (LaCie or Seagate) are on, the installer sees them as partitions that I could install to. I can't use the external hd because I don't think I can boot to it. If I could boot to it I could probably copy the new install to my internal hard drive.

ScanDisk - Files Cant Be Deleted From Recycle Bin

Jan 22, 2009

When I delete emails in Outlook Express they move over to the Deleted file ok.
When I try and empty Deleted file I get an error message saying they can not be deleted and there may be some damaged section on the main drive. It then says I should run Scan Disk or similar.
There is no ScanDisk but I went control Panel, c drive, properties and ran Ckdisk.
It takes a while to run and I have done it several times, as well as Disk Cleanup

No Winxp Home Cd-rom! But Need For Installing Drivers

May 30, 2006

I'm trying to get a new usb mouse to work on it, and I have the drivers for it - but when installing the 'new hardware', it reaches a point wherein it asks to insert the "Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM", but I don't have one! It won't allow me to skip this, and if I click cancel, the mouse isn't installed, and an error window appears saying that an error occured during the new hardware's installation.
