Windows 2000 Reinstallation Problems During Registering Components
Jan 15, 2005
I recently tried reinstalling windows 2000 thinking it would maybe help my computer. I ran the windows 2000 disk and chose the first option(the one where it doesnt clean out all my files). Now during "registering components" in the installation the loading bar seems to make no progress. I've left it on for a couple days now and it has shown no progress. I've tried restarting my comp but then it restarts the windows 2000 installation again and then the same problem

I formatted the drive and tried to reinstall XP. It goes fine for most of the installation but when it comes to the "Registering Components" part it gets about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way done and then just stops with 12-13 minutes to go. I've tried using the repair option, and totally reformatting again

I read somewhere that I could do a repair installation to see if I could fix it. Well I go through the usual steps until I get to registering components where it goes for about a minute and then restarts. I thought thats what its suppose to do so I wait and wait and it goes through the whole process over so I go through it about 10 times before I realize something is wrong. So I go on my brother's laptop and look up whats wrong and I try opening the comand prompt by pressing shift+F10 and then typing "control sysdm.cpl" to get to the system in the control panel

After my neighbour updated his computer with all the latest updates from Microsoft every time he switches his computer on a set of keys appear in the desktop taskbar prompting him to register windows. As he had no product key sticker anywhere on the computer case I downloaded keyfinder from Download.com it found the product key in seconds. but I tried to register windows but it keeps telling me on the windows registration page that this copy is already registered.He only has six days left to register, what happens if after the six days past he still cannot get a product key.

This problem only occurs with any version of windows XP, Pro/Home/Media, at first, i could never install ie8 through windows update. It wouldnt install properly and sometimes i would have to start the installation over and not do it through windows update and do it manually with the downloadable file. So we learned our way around that no problem and its not a hassle to install it seperatly, but the BIGGEST PAIN IN THE A** we are having now is, when we reinstall widows, either on a new HD, Old, or even on a brand new custom built computer

my system is really slow.I ran many virus scanners, spy/adware destroyers, and programs to clean and fix your registry but they didnt do anything. so i finally just reinstalled XP, i got all the suggested drivers and updated to service pack 2 and got all the windows updates, but its still just as slow.when i run it in safe mode, it works like a charm, just like it used to.

my dell dimension 2400 got so much spyware on it i could scan for it, but not remove it.
i reinstalled xp and i the computer basically operates the same way. i am lucky to get anything to work with the keys but especially no function with the mouse. windows xp appears to be installed fine. i cannot get to system restore either.
i have my dell laptop hooked to it with but cannot navigate at all in trying to link the two puters together.
i wanted to completely format and reinstall xp but it appears it just copied over and still left me with the problems.

Someone gave me a laptop that didn't work. It's a HP Pavillion ze 4900.It originally had xp home on it, so I ordered a new disk to install on it. It was saying that some files were not found. It would do nothing. It also has a password on it. I did find out the password from them. I tried doing the repair installation and it didn't work, so I formatted the partition and tried to re-install to it. The problem is that when it finished formatting and then loading the windows files, when it restarts from there I have to put in the password again and it starts all over. I have done this 2x now and still it keeps doing the same thing. I just turned it off and thought

I have recently reinstalled windows XP after some speed problems and my PC is running really well now. I've also been carrying out a lot of registry clean-up (CC Cleaner), maintenance etc.
When carrying out a disc defragmentation, I noticed that there was reference to a lot of mainly old downloaded files which were saved on the hard-disk before I reinstalled windows.

my hardrive failed and i was forced to format and reinstall windows xp sp2, during the installion i noticed something very intresting.
in the DOS menu of the windows xp installation, a user is usually given an option to delete and created a new partition, upon doing so, the user will be given two choices:
1-format partition into ntfs (fast)
2-format partition into ntfs

I uninstaled some windows components and it turns out that I need them and have not been able to reinstall them. I have been trying to reinstall the advanced features in my sounds and audio devices. Since I removed that feature when I play a DVD no my computer the sound will not get very loud. I am having no problem with other videos just DVD's. But I have also tried reinstalling games and other features and they will not install either.
When trying to install I use the Windows Installation CD and the installation seems to go fine. I don't get any error message, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I also tried the Add/Remove Programs feature in the control panel and got the same results.

Not sure if this is the right forum, does anyone know where there is a list of CLSIDs for windows components and what they correspond too? I have been looking but can't find anything but extensions and spyware.

Last night I was trying to remove some unneeded Windows components that I thought were slowing my system down. I went into "Add/Delete Programs", and then "Add/Remove Windows components". I mis-interpretedd the prompts and ended up deleting everything except what I wanted to. When I tried to add the functions back it asks for my Windows CD. It's been a long time since I installed windows and I find that I can't locate the CD. Any idea how I might be able to restore my system. At the moment I no longer have a working internet connection

All of the accessories and utilities were somehow deleted from me computer, but when I go into the add/remove windows components wizard, it won't let me install them. It says "Please insert the Compact Disc labeled 'Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD' into your CD-ROM drive (D and then click OK". The only Windows XP CD I have only has Service Pack 1 on it and it doesn't work for this

I had to put windows 2000 on my moms PC, which is part of a network, and now EVERY computer on the Network sees an "Internet Gateway". WHY???? The only computer that can see shared files is my moms with the windows 2000. theres 3 more computers all running windows xp. how do i fix this? File sharing is now available, but I myself believe the internet is being slowed down. THe Internet gateway that windows XP is picking up is reading 8.0 mbps. My connection has gotten as high as like almost 2, but it should not read that.

The group USERS message says.."Users are prevented from making accidental or intentional system-wide changes. Thus, Users can run certified applications, but not most legacy applications".Is there a way i can add to the certified applications? Programs run fine if I add Domain Users, or individual logon names to the Power Users group. But I don't want to do that.

I was trying to remove windows messenger by going to control panel -> add/remove programs -> add/remove windows components I misread the directions for this windows XP setup box and made it so that only windows messenger had a checkmark because I thought this meant that only windows messenger would be modified removed unfortunately, this just meant windows messenger stayed the same and all the other components i had installed were removed. I know they are still on my computer since for accessories/games I can go to start -> run and type in something like "winmine" and minesweeper will open up, however if I go to the start menu and look in games it is empty

my daughter has an older model sony vaio (pcg- fx220) running ms windows 2000 pro and is wanting to upgrade to xp. she purchased her upgrade software from her college vendor and they shipped her 2 discs. one is labeled ms windows xp professional with service pack 2 and the other is labeled ms windows xp professional x64 edition.
i am assuming the i should install the w xp pro with serv. pk 2 instead of the 64x version. in the back of my mind, there is some previously learned and nearly forgotten info regarding processors and hers is an older 750 pentium iii.

cannot access my PC. Running windows 2000 pro PC as it is not taking what I thought the logon password is. I am locked out. I am not super technical and would like a shortcut. I did receive a tip, but it was for XP and is only good if you are already in. I need to retrieve a critical word doc.
