Removing Sp2 Beta (build 2600)
Apr 28, 2005
i'm new on this forum but i've been reading the posts around for a while.. right now i need help with my computer. i installed windows xp pro sp2 beta (5.1, build 2600) and now i need to remove this sp2 cuz it's screwing up my directx... i cant install directx 9.0c as the installation just goes extremely quickly and nothing actually was installed... after hours of searching i concluded that it was the beta version of sp2 that was causing the problems. the sp2 was slipstreamed (i think) with xp on the disc so i cant uninstall it using add/remove programs, i cant find C:WINDOWS$NTServicepackUninstall$ or anything like that, and i after removeing CSDVersion in HKLMSoftwareWindows NTCurrent Version, it was just backed up.

I am working on a friend's Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop. It went to sleep on me I guess. I have tried function F8 and nothing happens. Also tried the On/Off button nothing.

running an AMD Athlon XP 2600 I know, kinda old, but he only plays Diablo II on it anyways) and I found a 3200 chip for it for cheap, so I bought it, and installed it. Now, this CPU was in working condition when I bought it. I removed the old thermal grease, applied new stuff, and installed it. It isn't running hot, only around 28C. When I boot XP, it will get to the loading screen, and the green bar will go across once, and then it BSOD's with the Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area screen. It will quckly restart after flashing the BSOD It took a while to figure out what the BSOD said, I had to take a video and play it back frame by frame

testing MS's beta of Windows Onecare I installed it about 5 days ago and first impressions have been very favorable. It includes a firewall, anti-virus app, backup & restore feature, scheduled tune-up (defrag, etc) automatic updates. Nice for a beta software, no glitches yet and I have tested the backup/restore feature using dvd-rw media. The firewall is inbound / outbound detection unlike XP's built-in. You do have to disable / remove any existing firewall / anti-virus before installation. This might be a subscription service after beta, but may well be worth it, especially for new / in-experienced PC users. But anyone can benefit from the many features, built-in backup to CD / DVD

I installed IE 7 beta 2 this morning and afterward I went to Help Center to check my restore points.When I click on the "Undo changes to your computer with SYSTEM RESTORE", on the right-hand side of Help Center nothing happens.I can get at my restore points using "Performance and Maintenance" in the left side of the Help Center and using the Restore Wizard.They look valid.I can also create a new restore point from here.
I have a very clean system and do manual checkpoints almost daily. I resized the restore points cache; turned restore off and on and booted in safe mode only to get the same results.By the way, I have had no problems with IE 7 or any other programs since installing IE 7.

I was a SP2 beta tester(wondering if you were as well?) and didn't upgrade to the official RTM version.My own personal opinion is that the license for the beta timed out and is now throwing a hissy.I can get the comp to boot up into safe mode just fine (which is why I am positive it's not hardware related) so auto update either dl'd something last night and it's conflicting or it's the sp2 beta license problem.

I've been using MS Anti-Spyware Beta 1 for several weeks. Recently, when trying to update, the program says it downloads and installs updates but when I check for future updates the same one supposedly already downloaded and installed shows up again. For example, I got to definitions 5729, but 5733 was but wasn't installed several times; and then it was 5735 the same. So I uninstalled the program and downloaded and reinstalled it. Now I have definitions 5725 and have tried without success to download and install 5735 several times. Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be? I also have Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, Bazooka, and Spyware Blaster.

I have been running windows XP SP3 and have been happy with it. But I was going to go with Vista on the new bulid (I can get it at a student discount) in order to have a 64-bit OS and have better access to memory. But this week's news has me convinced that I should should stick wiht XP until Windows7 comes out.
I do moderate gaming and lots of multitasking (many open windows, ITunes pumping to my home stereo, etc.)
So, here is are my questions:
-Is windows XP 64-bit even available anymore?
- If so, is it worth it to install the 64-bit version? (will the diferences even be noticable?)

Everything work great but when I tried to hook up my HP V40 all-in-one printer (USB cable), it will not recognize it at all. I changed cables but to no avail. I checked the ports and it recognizes my pen drive when I plug it in.

I would like to install Internet Explorer 7 beta 2, and it does not work. So I did what they said in troubleshooting (use regmon to find a key that says "access denied" So I did that and found that HKCR/mailto is the problem. So I go into the registry and when I click on it I get an a message saying there was an error opening the key. I try change the permissions, and again I get an error message. Then I even try to delete it (I have a copy from another system to install) and again I get an error message. What can I do to fix this problem?

Last week I posted a question to this forum regarding the trouble I was having uninstalling Explorer Beta 2 (you can't install Beta 3 until you UNINSTALL beta 2). I got some very good suggestions -- system restore, trying REinstalling beta 2, etc. but none of them worked. Beta 2 won't reinstall unless you uninstall, restoring back to earlier times resurrected other demons and glitches I had solved, etc. What I believed happened is part of my overzealous file maintenance. I usually delete all those windows update Uninstall files that clutter up the Windows directory. Who knew that one of them was probably the uninstall file for Explorer Beta 2?

I am running the public beta 2 of Windows Vista x86 (32-bit version) on my PC--dual-booting with Windows XP SP2-- and I can't get my blasted Internet to work with it. Unfortunately, I haven't any way of running ethernet cable from my PC to the router--and so I need my wireless to work. The adapter is USB--a D-Link DWL-G120 wuireless card. It works fine as I'm using it now in XP SP2. My PC specs are listed in my sig.Anyone know of a driver that will work or any way to make this thing work with the Vista Beta 2 x86 build (public release)? I don't care if it only lets me use 802.11b--I just want a frikin driver that will allow me to test Vista's IE7 and such.

If you decide to uninstall IE 8 Beta 1 and revert back to IE 7, you will likely discover that its entry in the Add/Remove Programs list does not offer an uninstall option, especially if you installed the XP SP3 upgrade afterwards.
This is how to uninstall it:
Navigate to the C:WINDOWSIE8SPUNINST folder and then open it to expose its list of files.
Double-click the SPUNINST.EXE file to start the uninstall process.
Ignore the warning that uninstalling it may cause some of your installed programs not to work.
Restart your computer when prompted to.
When you start IE 7 for the first time, follow the directions to select your personal settings.
Run a scan at the Windows Updates site.

I decided to Delete IE8 Beta yesterday but after it caused probs for my XP operating system I looked up on here how to revert back to IE7 (I don't have SP3 DL'd so it seemed like an easy fix). But now everytime I try to open IE it starts to load and then just disapears (No error message or anything) I ran ad-aware and AVG and found nothing so I don't think its a malware problem. But I went ahead and ran HJT in case you guys can tell something by looking at it. I think I royally messed up this time & I just hope someone can help me out I'm using Mozilla right now but hate that I cannot copy/paste so I really need IE back.

I'm in a bit of a pickle, I was installing some beta drivers from nvidia on my gaming desktop just for fun, but when I restarted the computer can't run for more then 3 minutes until it crashes, so I need to go back and reverse the drivers i installed or get rid of them. The dilemma here is that I'm not exactly sure what I need to do, nor can I BOOT INTO SAFE MODE, which has been an issue for me for about a year now. Whenever I begin to login in safe mode the computer abruptly restarts before it even reaches the desktop

I am wanting to use 32-bit XP pro on my new build but cannot get it to install.
This is to avoid dealing with XP x64 driver searches and I do not want to lose netmeeting and msconfig so I refuse to convert to Vista just yet.Also, I am not completely convinced my build is Vista ready.The 32-bit XP install BSODs after doing "loading all the setup files".I have ACPI set to DISABLE.The APIC option in the BIOS is unselectable and is set to ENABLE.
No, there are not any BIOS updates available for my MOBO.Yes, I ran memtest86 and had 0 fails on multiple passes.Yes, I tried default BIOS settings.Yes, I tried Fail-Safe BIOS settings
