Usb Hub Had A Power Shortage Disabled
Oct 14, 2005
My usb hub had a power shortage and was disabled. I clicked on the details button and it said that USB #8 was disabled and that I should unplug whatever is plugged into it and reset it.Well I don't know which port is number 8 but I unplugged one of the ports that I THOUGHT it might be and pushed reset. Everything else that's got a USB plug seems to be working.I also noticed last week that the USB ports in back of my computer at the very bottom have stopped working so I switched certain peripherals to be using my front ports. (digital camera)What could be causing my USB ports to malfunction like this?

Desktop Manager allows you to switch between multiple desktops creating more elbow room for those who like to stay organized while pushing the max thread limit.1. First grab XP PowerToys from microsoft.com Once installed right click then check: task bar > toolbars > Desktop ManagerYou may now view up to four new desktops. I prefer not to have "Shared Desktops" on as it reminds me more of linux (and is cleaner).Now you may hide the buttons etc. and use Windows key + 1-4 to switch between desktops and Windows key + v to preview.

I'm running WinXP pro and have lost all the reguler power schemes from the power options propreties window. Also I'm unable to Save a new scheme.I beleive the schemes where deleted from the power properties window by right clicking and selecting delete. They used to be there anyway Unknown is listed above Turn off monitor-Turn off hard disks-System standby-System hibernates and everything is greyed out. They are still listed in the registry but with no value set.How do I go about getting the schemes back?

My PC has old configuration, the Max Power Supply can be only up to 350W. You know that every parts of the PC, either external or internal hardware will consume power. What I would like to know is that, what would happen to my PC if the total power consumption exceeds the MAXIMUM VALUE of the power supply unit.

My system uses a SiS650 onboard graphics solution on a Windows XP computer, which obviously shares my main memory, and so i recently tried to fix this by installing a NVIDIA card.
I had problems with the NVIDIA card, and so decided to remove it and go back to the onboard graphics.
However, the onboard graphics card was listed in the hardware manager, but was said to have a fault and could not run. Another graphics option, Video Graphics Adapter, was listed beside it, and according to its properties was conflicting with the SiS.
So, I did the really smart and clever thing to do and disabled the Video Graphics Adapter, thinking that it would therefore allow the SiS to run without a conflict, and so restarted.
I imagine many of you are now rolling about with laughter,the OS wont be displayed at all, due to the fact i have most likely disabled ALL VGA cards...
I have tried booting in Safe Mode, but it doesnt work, it hangs, and i have tried booting in VGA mode, but again, it doesnt work.
Is there anyway to perhaps re-enable the VGA from the command line interface or something?

IE7 - Is there anyway to permanently get rid of the yellow "Internet Explorer is currently running with add-ons disabled" bar under the status bar at the top of the screen? I don't want to just disable "add-ons" - I want to get rid of that bar so it will stop reminding me.

After reformatting the HD and reinstalling XP, I find that my Inspiron laptop doesn't have Stand By or Hibernate options. When I close the lid and re-open it it's nonresponsive on a black screen until I turn it off with the Power button. I thought HAL.DLL was missing -- I got that error message once -- but it's there in SYSTEM32 and the bootlog shows it installed as a driver. Is there another driver missing? (I can't decipher all those short file names.) Might it be the wrong HAL, a generic one supplied with the XP Re-Install CD? How do I find out?

I'm trying to figure out a way to not have SP2 enable the windows firewall while installing. I sadly do not have access to active directory, but do have an NT4 domain and Symantec Solution Suite 1 which includes a console for pushing out files and commands.My problem so far is that anything I do after SP2 is installed, but before the machine reboots with regard to firewall settings seems to be overwritten on reboot.

SP3 disabled the DVD functions on my Averatec 3200 series XP laptop. The DVD drive is made by QSI. I know this is a world wide issue, but have not found a recovery. My Hard Drive failed and I replaced it and have re-loaded XP using the supplied recovery disks. The DVD functions still do not work. I'm starting to suspect that the Bios or maybe an e-prom on the DVD drive board may have been buggered, else the re-load should have brought back the DVD functions.

I was working this morning and I tried to put a flash drive in my usb port (one that I've used forever) and I got the following messages:"Administrator has restricted this computer to access usb/1394 mass storage devices"and "G:/ is not accessable Acess is denied" This is especially troubling for me since I've got to finish working on my syllabi and lessons for school and can't use my flash drive, plus I can't use my ipod, which is really irritating. I thought I was the administrator. I certainly haven't disabled anything at least not on purpose.

No matter what I do "Windows Installer Box" appears upon booting up and will freeze all other functions. Happens in normal or safe mode. Need to retrieve some documents or I would just let it go. What is the answer? Box does'nt say it is trying to install anything. If I hit cancel, it grays out and freezes everything else. Tried running msconfig but as soon as I hit OK, the box appears.

I have a situation that I am not able to resolve.A friend went into the display settings and disabled the display driver which shut down the video output when Windows XP runs.After the bios does the boot process, you can hear the Windows start up sound but there is no desktop.There is just a blank screen.I have attempted to boot in safe mode and no luck.I have tried to boot to the last good setting.I have also attempted to boot with an XP disk and repair, but there is an administrator password preventing me from going any farther with this option.

Trying to increase my speed at startup by using Winpatrol and the "msconfig" interface for XP. I disabled too many functions and then I couldn't enable them again. I now cannot print, have access to USB removable disks, use my wi-fi connection, etc. I initially disabled programs on Winpatrol but I uninstalled it when things weren't running anymore, and when uninstalled, all options revert back to defaults

However, when I check the task manager it reports "VM Size" as at the same level or higher than "Mem Usage" for all process, e.g. firefox.exe Mem Usage 77,720K and VM Size 118,756K. This is a problem as my RAM (1Gb) seems to be filled up quite quickly because of the additional VM Size requirements - since I'm not using Virtual Memory, VM Size should be zero for all processes. Is this what it should do, or have I disabled Virtual Memory incorrectly?

I've run into trouble recently with my NAV not auto-protecting (nor being able to auto-protect). I'm also received various messages when I start my computer up about "has encountered an error and will need to close." I get this every time, and the programs are sometimes the same, but I always have the same few pop up. I have run NAV, Ad-aware, Spybot S & D, and Microtrend Housecall. The last time I ran Ad-aware, it snagged an iSearch registry value. I will also get a message as such: the value "0x00000000" could not be referenced, I think at the place "0x00000000," and therefore could not be "read." I have also had www.clickbank.net pop-ups sporatically appearing. My browser will sometimes open 60-odd empty browsers, too.

Can file sharing be temporarily disabled in windows without affecting any other services. I guess what I am looking for is an "on or off " - switch" without having to disable file sharing the tradional way (rebooting etc). Is there a cmd.com option? Windows service etc. I would just really like to know how to turn it off. lets say for 5 minutes or 10 minutes at a time and easily resume all shared folders and services.
