Greetings, During a lightning storm, the power failed. Upon reboot, a message indicated that new hardware had been found. I tried getting the drivers from the Windows XP Installation CD as well as other CDs, to no avail. This seems related to a USB 2.0 port? However, I am not sure. Can anyone help? In the hardware configuration the drivers it is trying to look for are 2Wire USB Remote NDIS Ethernet. I am trying the knowledge base in parallel, but my initial search yielded nothing. Thank you. Jean-Pierre P.S. This is the second time in as many weeks that I loose sofware in an abnormal shutdown...

We reformatted my machine here at work about 2 months ago to gain some performance. DELL Optiplex GX620, 250 GB HDD, 3.4 GHz P4, 1.5 GB RAM Windows XP Professional, Service Packed with SP3 Periodically throughout the day, my PC now hangs (locks up, freezes, whatever you want to call it) for about 30 seconds. Very Irritating! I have run numerous RAM checking programs, and my RAM seems fine. After some time, my PC always releases control back to me. We have corporate TrendMicro antivirus, but if it is causing this problem - well, it did not cause it before I did the hard drive format. How do I figure out what is causing this?

I need to do a report on windows 2000, on users log on and log off times to the network. I need to show users first logon and last logons and first logoffs and logons. I know this cannot be done in AD, but are there any third party tool or software which can do this.

I want to be able to give one of my elderly clients a simple one-button backup icon using NTBackup. He is backing up to tape. I want him to rotate through several tapes before returning to the first. I am using a shortcut with command line: ntbackup backup "@C:\Backup Jobs\Selective.bks" /j "Selective Backup Job" /t "Selective BU" /n "Selective BU" If the tapes have different names (eg "Selective BU 1", "Selective BU2") NTBackup sits there waiting for a specific tape to be mounted. I want all the tapes to be used interchangeable. If I name all of the tapes with the same name I get a message when running my shortcut that multiple tapes have the same name. …

Hello, I'd like to automatically clean out files older than 90 days on a weekly basis from specific directories are there any commands, utilities or programs I can use to do this? Thanks

Hello, I'm new to this community... I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post this. Anyway, I want to downgrade my Inspiron 1525 Vista Home Basic to XP Pro. I have the XP CD with product key, and I've downloaded all the drivers off the Dell website. But I'm a bit confused on what to do after downloading all the drivers. I've also read in a few forums that I would need to change the SATA ACHI to ATA, is that correct? Is it possible to downgrade? I've only had this computer for two months, and some of my Job's applications/software don't work with vista... so I need XP. I've called Dell support and they didn't want to help me. I also understan…

I back up regularly using MS Backup to DVD's via Roxio Backup. Can these backups be read by another PC that has MS Backup? With a different (Vista, for example) OS? If so - What must I put in that other PC so it can read my existing DVD based backup and restore files to that other PC?

I have the following: 1. A PC running XP 2. A laptop (not working) running Vista I want to remove the harddrive from the laptop, put it in an External Hard Drive Enclosure and connect it to the PC. My question is, will these two be compatible considering the different OS? Thanks! Shane

I recently had my computer infected with four trojans due to them being new and undetected by the majority of anti-virus programs. So I submitted them to AVG who confirmed they were trojans and updated their virus definitions. This removed the four trojans from my computer. However, I still have problems that need to be fixed. One of which is a disabled registry. Here's what needs fixing (from my HijackThis log): F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=explorer.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files \System\svchost.exe" O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5277E001-1190-3001-0699-ca3230262a11} - C: \Program Files\Common Files\System\wship_help.acm (file missing) O7 - HKCU\Software\Micr…

I'm running Windows XP Home. On one of my hard drives I have accumulated 10,000+ mps files which I have named (numbered) 0001 to 9999. I want to change all the files by adding a 0 before the existing name (i.e. 00001 to 09999). Can a macro be written to simplify this task, or do I have to tediously alter each file individually? Any help or tips gladly appreciated. -- Ron Perth Western Australia

Hi all I am looking for advice from you good people with regard to software and strategy to be considered for a forthcoming IT upgrade. In the next few months it will be necessary to replace our file/print server (Win2K3) and email server (Win2K3 and Exch2003). The company comprises approx 50 users currently on XP clients. 10-15 of these are regular travellers who use OWA and Blackberry email for mobile communication. The intention is that we will move to the current flavour of Windows server software. My questions relate to additional software that the group might recommend for improved communication and data access, bearing in mind cost and ben…

Is there a way I can get the search / for files or folders in Vista to look like XP, this one in Vista is absolutely useless and time consuming cheers

Hello, My son's game computer running Windows XP Home edition got some nasty MalWare on it that has changed the protection of some files and folders and altered privileges that prevents me or the antiMalWare appls from deleting them. I had a terrible time getting safe mode to come up so I could log in as the administrator. At that point, it came up as a command line interface – and that is where I am stuck. It now always boots into the safe mode command line. When I get the screen to come up that gives me options for booting, like safe mode, safe mode CLI, last known good profile, etc., it still boots as safe mode CLI. How do I fix this? Also, it looks like…
