Gurus, I'm taking an unscientific poll. What is your XP NIC settings set at currently? Auto-negotiate, hard set to 100mbs/FULL, or other? -- Spin

alu9i4j2.SYS

I saw this module in the System process view in process explorer. According to process explorer it is located in system32\drivers but it is not really there, so I cannot submit it for analysis. When I launch Depends on this module it has the same attributes as atapi.sys - same file size, version number, date and time stamp, etc. When I view the module strings in the module properties in process explorer and compare them to the strings in atapi.sys they are exactly the same and in the same order. I did a google search on this but nothing came up. Has anyone else seen this or something similar and know what it is?

Select Boot Drive?
by Guest LMO- 4 replies

Aloha all. I just bought a new Dell system. It came with Vista. I hated it, wiped the drive, and installed XP. I'm thinking of buying a 2nd drive, and installing the original OS on to the new drive, then, upon bootup, selecting either XP or Vista. Is this possible? The new system is SATA. Does this matter for what I'm thinking of? Thanks!

dirty bit chkdsk
by Guest Donald Eagle- 2 replies
- 215 views
Is there any way to terminate chkdsk after a dirty bit starts it during boot-up? I do know there is about an 8 second window to exit before it starts, but once it starts, is there anything that can be done? It has run about 4 times on my D: disk, but has never found anything, and it takes 3 hours to run. I am running XP Home, SP2 with all security updates. -- Don Eagle To reply personally, drop the Latin "not more"

Blue Screen of Death - Error Msg
by Guest pbl- 2 replies
- 221 views
Thanks to those who gave me some ideas regarding this problem and how I might save some of the files on my drive. Unfortunately I have not had internet access for several days so I decided to create a new thread. What I didn't provide in the first thread was information about the error. So here goes; It followed downloading a file which AVG Free Edition told me contained a virus. Before I could nutralise it the blue screen occurred. Now I am in a blue screen reboot cycle; as soon as I reboot and Windows XP begins to load up the blue screen occurs again. The blue screen says: A problem has been detected and windows has ben shut down to prevent damage…

Hard Drive Died (May it Rest in Peace)
by Guest xtremely poor w/ xtremely bad luck- 5 replies

My hard drive died (conveniently on the first day of summer school). My version of Windows XP SP2 came on my laptop. It's barely 2 years old. I have my product key, but I do not have a boot cd because, of course, none came with my laptop. I'm a poor college student; if it weren't for McDonald's Dollar Menu, I'd also be a starving. How can I install Windows XP again... (cost effectively)?

Windows Updates will not install
by Guest PeterV200- 1 reply

I have just got a new PC, and had the hard drive in my previous PC copied over to the new one. It runs Windows XP Pro and Office Pro 2003 Windows Updates has downloaded 77 updates but they wont install. My Previous PC was fully up to date, so I am a little puzzled as to why there are so many updates to install in the first place. I have installed the current versions of Windows Advantage and also Windows Installer. After doing this it appeared that all the updates except 4 of them had been installed, but i cannot find them and when I rebooted my PC it seems I am back to where I started. Please can anyone offer some help on how to solve this problem…

After I go into Organize Favorites and move or delete a favorite it appears to work. However, it automatically returns to it's previous place the next time the Favorites is entered. The solutions for previous versions of IE do not work. -- Bill in NM
