Network Failure?
Jul 5, 2005
Today I notice that my WinME (ICS host) and WinXP (client) can't communicate(simple peer to peer setup). First clue was when I couldn't send a print job from my ME to the XP where the printer is connected. XP pc reports "network unplugged". A forced "disable" and then an "enable" doesn't help. I also notice that the little lights for the network cards are not lit up. I thought they would normally BE lit up if the computers are on, right? However.. the lights on the network cards/ports on BOTH machines are off. Could both network cards have failed simulateously?

I have a gateway 6520 gz laptop with IE6 and XPHE, I 'm on a network with two computers and use NETWORK MAGIC for the network, when I turn the laptop on it wants to display {the page cannot be displayed} instead of going online! Then NETWORK MAGIC pops-up and says {YOU ARE NOW CONNECTED} then I have to manually turn on IE6 button to go online, almost like the page {the page cannot be displayed} wants to come up first instead of the connection?

I need to have network drive on my Windows XP computer. In order for a software to work, there needs to exist a network drive, named N, existing on my PC. Since there's not a second PC to link to, what I did was to created a directory named est on the same PC , share it out, and then, map a network drive, named N, to it. When my PC has an Ethernet cable connected to a switch, Windows XP will see that N drive (existing on the same PC). The moment I disconnect that Ethernet cable from the switch, the N drive is gone. Is there a way to have a mapped network drive on XP (as mentioned above), without the need to have a network cable connecting that PC to a switch?

I first noticed this when i click on my dial-up connection the connection window won't come up.When i open the network connections folder in the control panel, an error message comes up with this message:The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the lsit of Network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running.

My network adapter does not appear in Device Manager, until I "Show hidden devices". And then it appears as a "Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC", whereas I actually have a D-Link DFE-538TX 10/100 adapter. Furthermore, I get no icons (at all) in the Network Communications window. So if I want to change any settings of my LAN, for example, I can't, because I can't select the LAN icon or right-click on it. The LAN is working though. The current driver for the Realtek adapter which is listed is a MS driver.

We have a vender that wants to use our printer at work which is hooked up to our network but he can't join our network because he is not an employee.Just spoke to him and he has a Sony Vaio laptop and DOES NOT WANT ANY DRIVERS on his machine. Im lost. I was just going to install drivers on his machine and hook the printer up USB but he just formatted his machine and now doesn't want any drivers at all.

when I browse "My Network Places", the browsing is so incredibly slow. It takes a long while when you click one icon in the “My Network Places” for that to open up and go to the next directory or when just first displaying the computers in “My Network Places”, it goes so slow.
I use Windows Workgroup on the LAN to share out internet. Everything else, other than browsing the network, works great. The internet browses nice and fast.
This morning I opened My Network Places while my pc was still loading all the programs at start-up and "My Network Places" was fast. After a few minutes it was back to normal low pace. Now I guess it is something running on my pc slowing it down. Is it maybe to do with XP Service Pack 2? Before installing SP2 the network browsing on my pc is fast, after installing SP2, it is slow. Other computers on the network without SP2 browse the network quite fast.
All the pc's on the network has XP Pro.

This one has got me completely stumped:I am running windows XP, and have not made any hardware changes recently The only recent software install was Kaspersky internet security 2010, over the top of the 2009 productShortly after that install, my PS/2 mouse stopped functioning - the red light on the mouse comes on, but the pointer does not move. I checked with a USB mouse, and with a USB graphics tablet- same story, no response. The USB devices were tried in the main USB slots and in a hub. They both work fine on another PC.I have started in safe mode, and deleted all HID devices. Windows then detects the mouse, but then reports (via device manager) that it cannot detect the hardware.

I purchased the Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop about 2 years ago. It shipped with Vista at the time, but I installed XP on the partition Vista was installed on and have been using it happily ever since. There is a common problem as it turns out, after having read through other forums, that used to exist with Dell laptops, including mine and that is that they would come shipped with the Mediadirect button. When pressed, it supposedly boots the laptop to another partition, which would start up a multimedia software that can playback CDs, DVDs and/or other media files on the accessible storage. The critical and serious issue is that once this button is pressed and you try to turn on the laptop normally again (boot into Windows), it would not boot up, producing the Invalid partition table error at boot-up, suggesting that the former process messes up the boot record somehow.
The same thing happened to me before. A quick suggested fix was to press the button again. While it didn't solve the issue, it at least booted in the right partition, but complained about an ntfs sys file not being there. I solved this myself by repairing the existing Win XP Pro SP3 installation via an XP SP2 CD, which reverted back SP3 to SP2 without much hassle, surprisingly, and Windows booted up normally. I just had to manually update the system to SP3 again using Windows update and that was all. Other software like IE and WMP were also reverted, but reinstalled to the latest version manually.

the Systemax OEM PC we bought in 2006 had its Windows installation on a FAT32-formatted C: partition by default. I only noticed it this month, and after backing it up, I tried convert.exe based on what every-website-ever agreed on was the right instruction. Since it was running off of the partition it needed to convert, it asked me to run on the next restart, which it did. The process took at least 2 hours, but sometime in between the last time I checked up on it and when it finished, it apparently *undid* all the conversion it was doing, because the C: partition still read as FAT32.

Instructed to avoid using IE, so browsing with Netscape 8.x instead - was exploring my nephew's MySpace site. She said that the monitor began flashing intermittantly (go black for half a second at a time, then come back on). Because she insists on running scripts, I instantly suspected some malware and ran some scans that came up clean (Symantec AV and Windows Defender antispyware). After a reboot, the problem was still there but a bit worse. I tried restoring to progressively older restore points, but that didn't work either. I found, in fact, that after the reboot, my keyboard did not work. In Safe mode, I get no monitor blinking, but the keyboard still won't work.

Looking for work-around solution standby/hibernate failure in WinXP system after installation of PGP 6.x.
Problem is completely described in Microsoft KB
article Q-314118 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314118/en-us
I am presently using PGP 6.5.1 and want to keep it. I'm using it for the PGPdisk features with encrypted
volumes (directories). It works fine in WinXP with both existing PGD volumes that I have (from previous
systems) and it also works fine with newly created PGD volumes. The only problem is that it prevents WinXP from entering Standby modes when I attempt this power down feature in WinXP for my laptop.........

Ever since a power failure yesterday, my computer is not booting 100% of the way - it seems to stall at the end after loading desktop etc, can't see anything missing but I am unable to do anything. Nothing opens when clicked on. It works perfectly in Safe Mode with Networking.
I checked Device Manager and found 3 things highlighted:
HID Non-user input Data Filter
HID Non-user input Data Filter in HID section, and
WAN Miniport (IP) in Network Adaptors.
I do not have a wireless network, only a hard-wired one, so not sure what that is about.

My Dell XPS 410, running WinXP, has a problem (or at least an annoyance)which seems to be getting worse. Very often -- maybe even most of the time lately -- half or more of my system tray icons fail to appear, even though the programs are running. It's very inconsistent, sometimes it's fine, at worst only 2 or 3 of the expected dozen or so make it. And the whole startup program-loading is really bogging down.I know that it's software related of course, as all is fine when I boot up to my back-up WinXP OS on another partition. But *where* is the glitch? I scan constantly for viruses, trojans, spyware and all, and also keep the registry clean and def ragged.It would be great if any of you might have some ideas for things I should look for, as any day now I'm going to decide to just bite the bullet and do a clean re-install of Windows. Everything's backed up, of course, but it will take days to re-install all the programs and configure everything again.

I'm on a Sony VAIO with Windows XP. When my computer goes into hibernation mode and I try to reboot, I get an error that says, "The system could not be restarted from its previous location due to a read failure." There is one option for me to select which reads "Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu."I've done a check disk of all of my hard drives, and none of them turned up anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Today, when the XP boot screen appeared after post, my machine rebooted. Went to MSKB and followed instructions for Recovery Console, but when I got to the money shot, I was denied access - tried this 4 times, same response. Tried repair install, but after drivers loaded and auto re-boot, XP boot screen appeared and machine rebooted...vicious cycle.

every time I load up my PC (Win XP Pro, Mozilla Firefox) I get the following error box:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Program: c:progra~1intern~1iexplore.exe
File: .lists.cpp
Line: 480
Expression:!(p==bodykwref.end())
For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts [note--I've tried this--it's all programmer speak and I'm just a novice trying to get rid of the error!]
(Press retry to debug the application-JIT must be enabled) [This works--for 10 minutes or so]
Abort Button Retry Button Ignore Button. I assume it's got something to do with iexplore, so I've reinstalled a couple times--no joy.

The computer shut down due to a power failure in the house. I started it up and the windows loads OK till I get to the page where it has the users names listed. I click on any user name. When I click on the name, it opens the page for a second and shuts down. I can see the wallpaper of each user and it closes immediately. It reads LOADING PERSONAL SETTINGS and then it reads LOGGING OFF, then it says SAVING YOUR SETTINGS.

I am trying to determine if I really have a hard drive failure. I'm running XP pro. While running EXCEL this morning, my computer froze. Could do nothing but turn the power off and re-boot. Upon re-booting, prior to getting to the Windows screen, I got a message about can't find the hardware. Re-booted again, this time it said there was a problem with the hard drive and it ran a check disc. Took about 6 hours. While it was running, it said there were about 8 to 10 problems had to do with the IE5.1 temporary files. It finished and booted to windows XP.
I thought all was ok. Finished by Excel work. Printed it out ok. Came back later to a black screen with the same initial message about can't finding the hardware.I called Gateway - Tech adviser had me run a program from the Recovery disc that checks the hard drive. Program said hard drive failed. Tech rep said I need to get a new Hard drive.Is this correct or are there other possibilities?
