Schedule a reboot?
by Guest ray124c41- 2 replies

I have Windows XP SP2, not part of a domain. As described in my response to the "Task Scheduler" query by Fred Flintstone, I managed to set up my system so, after having assigned a password to the "Owner" account, I can schedule tasks and not have to log on when I boot or come out of standby. It works very well. Anyway, the remaining problem is that Norton SystemWorks One Button Cleanup needs to reboot after it does its thing. After the last time it ran via the schedule ( this was also the first time), I brought the PC out of standby to find a dialog box displaying, requesting that I click a button on the box so it can reboot and complete the ta…

restricted file moving within windows folders
by Guest happy 111- 1 reply

Hi. I wondered if it were possible to put restrictions on where specified users could move files - more specifically if i could give specific users MOVE ONLY access to move files within sub-folders to a specific folder? my situation is on a shared network, and my understanding for users to be able to MOVE files at all, they need to be given DELETE access, and DELETE access gives no option to restrict movement. Hoping someone may know something i don't know. thanks

My Pictures Screen Saver missing photos...
by Guest NH- 2 replies
- 188 views
I have been using My Pictures Slideshow as a screen saver for some time (perhaps 2 to 3 years), but note that photos from the last 2 years are never displayed. (I have been using a digital camera since 2003, and only photos from 2003 through early 2006 seemed to get displayed.) All photos in My Pictures are in subfolders named by shooting date. Does anyone have any idea why the more recent photos not being displayed? TIA

recognizing my old master drive as a slave in my new computer
by Guest mailman1056- 3 replies
- 204 views
I decommissioned my old computer but i want to use my old hard drive as a secondary drive in my new machine. The old drive had XP Pro on it but now I want access to my old files and pictures. Though it worked fine in the old machine I can't get the new machine to recognize this drive though I hook it up correctly. I even put it in an hard drive casing and used a usb hookup but still the new machine will not recognize it. I have done this in the past with a hard drive that was my master and had Window 98 on it and am still using that drive for file storage. How do I get past the security to see my files?

I have recently obtained a machine with a NON-genuine version of Windows XP Pro SP2 installed on it. I have purchased a genuine version and want that installed. How can I go about doing this? Can I install the genuine version on top of the non-genuine version without losing data? Or can I simply enter in the registration key somewhere? Thank you in advance for your help.

My mother is using a basic MS usb mouse with the latest intellipoint drivers and the mouse locks up usually on the first boot every day. Then after rebooting the computer seems fine. I noticed that the usb hub and sata hard drive seem to be sharing IRQ 21. Do you think that could be the problem? Thanks-Joe

Hello. I have a Dell Latitude laptop running Windows XP with Service Pack 2. I have broadband and am connected to a wireless network. I am trying to set up a PPTP VPN connection which terminates on a Cisco 831 router - a task which I have completed successfully on many occasions, also with machines running Windows XP Pro, and connecting to the same Cisco 831 router. For this reason, I cannot believe that it is a problem relating to the Cisco 831 router directly, or with port 1723. Each and every time I ty to connect with this particular laptop though, I get the "Error 651 - The modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error." If I change the …

Windows XP activation problem

Hello, I have a coupe of machines on one of our site on which I get the error "n days left for activation". The PC's were installed with our Volume Licensing key, so the license is valid. When I double-click on the message, the activation window appears and tells me "Your Windows is already activated", without having to reenter the License key or anything else. When I restart the PC and logon again, I get the same error "n days left for activation"..... We have about 1000 PC's installed with the same key and I only get the message on 6 PC's. Thank you very much in advance PR

I have a computer running windows xp home sp2. This problem first ocurred when I plugged an external hard drive in. The computer crashed suddenly and gave this error. When I boot the computer I get an error the windows/system32/config/system is missing or corrupt. It tells me to use a Windows setup disk and select r to repair.

(I noticed that the old drives partitions are still intact and files are all accessible.) I then tried to copy the file from the master over to the "broken" slave, but I get the error Cannot …
