Sp1 Install Freezes At 32 Min Left
Jun 1, 2007My primary hard drive recently went nuts, so I decided to make my second drive the master. I completely disconnected the former master drive and set the former slave drive as the master. The newer harddrive is 250G and had been added thru XP. I only had some folders with music, video and such saved onto it. I wanted to keep those files so I didn't format the drive. And since they are large I didn't move them off the drive.
Installation proceeded normally until it reached "32 minutes remaining" and showed that it was "setting up network." The system just stays there. (The "new features" messages on the right side of the screen continue to cycle thru their list, and the little progress squares at the lower right continue to flash in sequence.) I had read thru some forums that hardware may be the cause so I removed the following: phone modem card, NIC, graphics card and the sound card. This left me with just the motherboard, floppy drive and cd-rom drive. Rebooted and still freezes at the same spot
Win Re -install Freezes At 32 Min Left To Go
Jun 28, 2005I have responded to a question in another conference which asks for help with a failing re-install whith 32 mins to go. and said I would ask in here This happened to me and was sorted by Microsoft help desk (using the last of my 2 free support calls attendant with purchasing a full copy of XP) - by a lady in India and lots of waiting Musak and a high phone bill! - but I can't for the life of me recall the keysrtokes the support lady took me through to "continue the process". I seem to remember it was something to do with objections to some drivers that had halted the install but what keystorke ovecame the problem alludes me

View 6 Replies View RelatedInsufficient Resources - After Being Left On For Some Time
Mar 18, 2005Over the past two years, I've built six computers for friends and co-workers, including some real screamin' gamers (P4, 3GHz, 2GB RAM, 256 MB video card, all running WinXP Pro). They all work fine, but all also seem to share one common annoyance. After being left on for some length of time (10-15 hours), they all seem to lock up. They don't completely freeze up - the mouse will work, but clicking on any icon gives the error message that "insufficient system resources exist for the requested operation ..". This happens even when the computers are unused for that time (i.e., overnight). I thought it was pretty obvious that something is eating up memory, so I installed AnalogX MaxMem to monitor the memory. It didn't help. Over time, the computer's available memory seemed to stay steadily around 70-75%, but even with MaxMem showing that much available memory, the computer still gave the "insufficient resource" message after being left on overnight.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCouple More Left Over File And Add Remove
Dec 2, 2007i know i just marked both threads solved, but i do have a couple more questions about specific left over files and add-remove program entries.
1. i have a folder in documents and settings/all user/applications for authentium. authentium was [i believe] from when i used the cox internet security suite which i did not like and uninstalled. in one of the folders is a quarentine folder with 4 items in it. trend micro doesnt pick those up during full scans, and im not sure how to scan each file with t-m. can i safely delete these or the whole authentium folder??
2. also, authentium antivirus SDK-2 shows up in add-remove programs. i thought i had removed authentium a while back. when high-lighted it doesnt show a "remove" button, doesnt show in start-programs list , nothing in program files either. i saw an authentim listed in the HJT uninstall manager couple days ago and deleted it, didnt think i saw it in the add-remove list at the time. how do i remove this entry?? is it necessary to remove other than annoying me?..........

View 11 Replies View RelatedCursor Constantly Moves Left
Nov 29, 2006I have a very annoying problem which seemingly happens totaly at random. The cursor which you use to type (not the mouse cursor) constantly moves left, as if the left arrow key is being held down (although the movement of the cursor is slightly slower). This occurs at random, it sometimes goes a week without happening, other times it will happen three times in a day. Having said this it always seems to happen after something is clicked on the takbar (eg a firefox window).I don't think it has anything to do with the keyboard because it continues to do it even when the keyboard is disconnected and reconnected. I have to restart my PC for it to stop, as doing anything while the cursor is constantly moving left is impossible, even shutting the thing down is tricky.I have no idea where to begin to solve this, any help will be massively appreciated,

Jun 28, 2006I don't even know what the proper name for this problem is. I'll try my best to paint an easy picture: basically, the entire screen (not physical part) of windows xp os is flipped. the system tray/task bar is on my left side. EVERYTHING including my wallpaper, windows login screen, folders, programs, IE browser - all of them requires me to tip my head to the left side if i want to do anything. This is truly an odd incident and I didn't even know how to begin a google search without knowing how to even identify such problem.
