I recently had problems with my computer. I just got it to work where it would boot up properly. I have verified I have no more virus or anything else. The problem I have is when I start my computer it boots up into the administrator profile every time. I have the administrator account and one more account (craig) which I created with administrator rights. Both don't have a password chosen right now. I have turned off the fast switching option and turned off the welcome screen logon on option. I found these under change the way a user logons on or off. My question is where do I go to select which profile I want to start up. I have log onto craig setup…

When I download sp2 (my software is all valid, btw), my computer freezes. I restart and it goes through the regular startup screens (before windows starts) and then I get the blue screen of death. I can only restart my computer in safemode, uninstall sp2 and things are fine. (I would tell you exactly what it says, but I don't wanna go through all that again, thinking my computer is fried!!) I know I should contact the people in did up my computer, but I am wanting to hear from anyone who has had the same problem....... I am running WinXP 2002, Home Edition, Athlon 64 Processor, 2.01 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM. Thanks!!

Windows XP home sp2 all security updates installed. Hi, my hard disk drive activity light is constantly flickering when the system is idle(flicks on and off about every 1 or 2 seconds). I temporarily disabled all the startup items and services in msconfig and tried that then I tried booting into safe mode but the HDD activity still continues. None of my other machines do this. What is causing this HDD activity is this normal ? Thanks Kim

I upgraded to XP from WIN98SE using the SP 1 upgrade disk I purchased. I am now fully SP2 patched, but when I go to update some drivers, I am asked to install the SP2 disk for some files. I don't have the SP2 disk, are these files located anywhere else that I can download what I need? i.e. "usbscan.sys" & "i8042prt.sys" as a start.

Update Restart & Defender
by Guest livetohike- 8 replies
- 284 views
Running XP. Sorry for bundling multiple questions, but they are all related. Even if you can only answer 1, please don't hesitate to reply. 1) I use FireFox not IE, does Defender still apply? 2) Do I need this if I already have AVG (Free), SpyBot-SD Resident, Ad- Aware, etc.? Does it add anything of value. 3) I always worry when I see "real-time". Does this thing slow down my computer all the time, or only when it does its nightly scan. 4) Why do the updates come so frequently? Do new threats really appear every 2-3 days? 5) It is a free MS product ... should I even bother w/ it? 6) Each MS Update requires a restart, a real pain. Any way aroun…

Hard drive letters change on their own
by Guest Calomax- 2 replies
- 164 views
I have 2 internal hard drives, C & D, and one external hard drive E. My CD/DVD drive is F. Several times recently whenb I've turned the computer on, the E & F drives have swapped letters, then I have to go into disk management to change them back again. I could keep them the other way round, but will have to change the location of my backups and many shortcuts will also need to be changed. Does anyone know why this should be happening? If so can I stop it happening? Thanks

After much trouble tweaking various settings i finally managed to share an internet connection between two computers, wired NOT wireless using a network adapter. However whilst the second computer is connected to mine and using the internet connection my computer freezes and stops responding forcing me to restart. I've never encountered this problem before and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem in the past, or heard of it happening. and i am open to suggestions as to how to fix it Thank you kindly
