logon password questions
by Guest someone watching- 6 replies
- 229 views
When XP2 was initially setup, it was setup so I did not have to type a password on boot. XP simply went to the desktop. Now I'm wondering how to turn the password requirement back on! Went to control panel, user accounts. Only two accounts, me & guest (which is off). Noticed Welcome Screen and fast user switching is off also (I recall setting them this way upon install). Didn't see any switch to prompt for PW at boot so .... how does one turn on/off the password requirement? Thanks vdm

i built a computer and installed windows xp on it. When i go to start the computer it boots up to the log in screen and there is no account to log into. When i start it up in safe mode however there is an Admin account. when i just hit enter (because it didnt ask for a password when installing) it says that i have the wrong password and wont let me log on. if someone else has had the same prolem and knows how to fix it any help would be appreciated.

Desktop background disappears
by Guest Fourth Isaiah- 2 replies
- 156 views
This is strange. When the computer boots up, the desktop image I want appears. But when the bootup nears completion and just before the desktop icons appear, the background image disappears, to be replaced by a generic blue background. I can't seem to find this image on the hard drive. Where is it getting it from? How can I get it to appear permanently?

Wireless Hard Drive Suddenly Unable to Network
by Guest DJ- 0 replies
- 127 views
I have been using a Buffalo LinkStation Pro LS-250GL High Speed NAS Wireless External Hard Drive and all of a sudden I can't network with it. It has worked fine for over a year on my primary XP (SP2) laptop, and 2 other laptops I own (both XP SP2) have no problem accessing the hard drive and its files. Now - although I can access the hardware through its web interface and can log in and change settings, it won't let me access files. I have been in contact with BuffaloTech support as well as Symantec/Norton and both insist that something changed in Windows to cause access problems. I have disabled and re-enabled Norton Antivirus and uninstalled and…

New Windows SP3 causes issues
by Guest Tony- 4 replies
- 203 views
I recently installed SP3 and was surprised to find that Windows XP would give me a halt error and reboot itself. This was not due to hardware , but rather the software. I am certain of this because when I uninstalled SP3 problem was solved. My thinking is that somewhere the current drivers I have installed probably are incompatible with SP3. The error as reported after reboot was: Error code 102 Event 1003 Error code 000000c2, parameter1 00000040, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 80000000, parameter4 00000000.

Help needed to fix XP/iTunes error
by Guest Max Burke- 4 replies
- 216 views
Anyone know of a fix for these Event viewer error messages in Windows XP/iTunes? They started appearing after I tried to update iTunes to the latest version, and in that version my iPod is not 'seen' by iTunes when it's plugged in. I have been through all the fixes suggested at Apple,com, tried to find fixes through Google, and even tried Microsoft fixes for unrecognised USB devices even though it's not Microsoft software. My iPod does show up in Widows Explorer as a usb drive, and I have full access to it in WinAmp as a portable MP3 player, but Win Amp does weird things to the directory structure and mp3 files on the iPods hard drive. I have given iTun…

Recent Folder
by Guest Jorge Bravo- 3 replies

While running Ad-Aware I kept getting warnings of a MRU Object in my Recent folder. I kept deleting it but next time I scanned i was there again. I think I understand that the reason is that it is not the same one but a new ne with information on the more recent IE viewing. Anyway, at one stage I deleted the folder (in fact, two) but kept them in the Dustbin folder. I thought that they would be recreated on startp, but that did not happen. What should I do now? The computer seems to be running well without the Folder. In fact, as I said before I had two folders: Recent and Recent [2]. The full location was c:\ Docs&Settings\'ME'\Recent Tha…

Running Windows XP Professional New PC has been running for about 90 days. Loaded Quick Books 2008. Ran fine. (This is the only change that has been mde recently) A week later the OS would reboot unexpectently. In Normal Mode the OS will just reboot now. When in Safe Mode, the OS will just reboot unexpectently. Went to run CHKDSK /r and received a Blue Screen with the following info: "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" Stop: 0x0000000A (0x00000028, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8081E667) Any suggestions? Thank you Steven M Hughins
