How Do Deactivate Welcome Page?
Sep 26, 2005
Since I installed a new printer, my computer (Windows XP Home, SP2), while booting, displays a welcome page on which I have to click on my name (I don't have to type in a password since I don't have one) in order to access Windows. I find it a nuisance and would like to deactivate it so that the computer boots and loads Windows without me having to click first. How do I do so? Also, I am afraid of getting locked out of my computer if I fumble around with the user account settings. I am the only user of the computer.

My Dell desktop runs XP Pro. My Dell laptop also runs XP Pro. For some reason my laptop hard drive got corrupted and/or wiped virtually clean, and the computer will not boot. Unfortunately, I don't have a reinstallation disk for the laptop. I was thinking of using the desktop's reinstallation CD to load Windows onto the laptop. But then I remembered reading something about the activation process for XP, and am worried that if I then have 2 computers with XP loaded from the same disk, Microsoft will somehow pick up on this and deactivate one or both.Technically, I'll have 2 XP installations after having paid for 2 separate versions and licenses, but I don't know if Microsoft would buy this, especially since I don't have the receipt for the laptop (it's 6 yrs old).Is my concern justified, or just unnecessary worry? I'd hate to be sitting with 2 unusable computers?

Nopdb was using too much resources (90%++.)Using services, I set speed disk services to disabled.Problem DCOM caused BSoD because it could not launch speed disk. Setting speed disk to manual - I find that speed disk is automatically started in spite of the MANUAL setting.

I have 3 displays attached to my WINXP home system. The windows will de-activate randomly. By deactivate, I mean the active bar at the top of the window will dim and the task block at the bottom of the window will dim also. I have to mouse click the window to make it active again. This happens randomly. even if I am keying into an application such as EMAIL or my word processor. This also happened when I had only ONE display attached.I have automatic updates enabled so I believe my software is up to date.

I was recently cleaning out my office and found 2 old XP Pro edition discs as well as the product keys. I remembered that one is from an old laptop that was stolen a few years ago, and the other is from a old and busted dell that no longer works.
Is there a way to reclaim or deactivate the product keys on the old machines so that I may use these discs on other machines?

I just noticed my start menu is acting a way I've never seen before. Instead of automatically unfold as usual, I see a partial vue (only a few programs) and I have to click on an arrow to make it unfold completely. Is that supposed to be this way (because I'm using XP Pro SP2 for the first time and SP1 was different)? Is there a function you have to deactivate or activate?

I often right click in IE and select Create Shortcut.It puts a shortcut and my desktop to that page. This mysteriously stopped working. The icon appears on my desktop with the page title and all, but when I double click it, it just opens up my browser and loads about:blank.In the shortcut file's properties, and then gives me the file's size, location,etc.but it doesn't list the URL anywhere. It's just getting on my nerves having to copy a page's URL to a text file on my desktop if I want to remind myself of something.

when I connect to the internet (dial up), my home page doesn't come up, instead I get a "page cannot be displayed. If I right click on my ISP provider and click "open home page" then it will come up. I've tried various "solutions" yet still have problem. Even when the home page is up, the other is lurking behind it.

I am using a computer with Win98se on it, but have been given one with XP Home loaded on it,which is a new "learning curve" for me. I like Excite as my home page,but am having trouble loading it on the XP machine. I have checked these forums and Googled it, but can't seem to find an answer to my particular problem. When I attempt to load Excite,all I get is a blank page with a left and right arrow and pause button in the middle left of the page. The address is correct on the address line.

I'm having an issue I just can not understand. When I have two IE browsers open, I sometimes get the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error on the second brower. When I try to go to the same page as the working browser I get the samel thing. It's like the second browser is not connectted to the internet.After shutting down both browsers several times and even rebooting sometimes, it will eventually work fine.

This is my 5th attempt to ask this question! I want to add page and RAM space to my desk top, V2 Premier which is six 6 years old, has 448 MG of RAM. I don't want space for movies or games, just page and RAM space. I don't want a new computer. I am considering adding to my FireWire 1394 a "Micro Drivezilla 9 Pin 7200 Hard Drive.

In one of my technical college class books, MCSE Guide to Microsoft Windows XP Professional Second Edition, Enhanced, on page 492, Chapter 10, it talks about performance tweaking. It talks about the page file, which I know uses free space on the hard drive to act as RAM, and says that to choose the third option of no page filing, you must have have at least one gig of RAM or greater. I have 1.24 Gigs of RAM on my computer and I used to assign 1-2 gigs of hard drive space as Virtual memory(I no longer do that) and now I let Windows choose for me. This chapter also discussed about how using the page is stored on the boot partition by default by Windows and can slightly slow down the computer. My question is, will turning off page filing help or hurt my computer? Should I keep the "system managed" or is it safe for me to turn it off?

I am in the process of editing a 30 min movie and am having severe slow-down problems-the same type I had on my old comp with only 1 GB of RAM. I checked the performance tab and only 900 MB of my 2 gig of RAM were being used, with 1.1 GB of PF used. Is it just me, or is this extremely poor resource management? Is there a setting in XP that lets me manage the average RAM and PF usage myself? Edit: If this problem can't be fixed without more RAM, I was thinking about and have the funds to buy another 1 GB of the same RAM to speed it up.
