Once in a while, winlogon.exe will hog CPU and makes my Windows unresponsive.
by Guest Phillip Pi- 5 replies

Hello. I have a strange rare and annoying Windows XP Pro. SP2 (IE6.0 SP2; all critical updates and optional softwares for SP2) issue that had been around for three years or so, and I can't figure out what's going on. Once in a while (very rare -- maybe once every one/two months?), I winlogon.exe decides to go nuts and take one of my CPU (have a dual core Intel P4 Prescott machine). From there, softwares don't respond and some can't be shut down (e.g., SeaMonkey.exe, Trillian.exe, Outlook.exe) even if I force end task. When I try to shut down Windows to reboot, it gets stuck forever and I need to do a force shut down on the power switch on the Dell Op…

Cannot repair/uninstall .NET Framework 2.0

Trying to help a friend who is running XP Pro (SP3). In IE7, kept getting .NET Framework 2.0 runtime error. Tried repair and uninstall in Add/Remove but get "..encountered an error....". Tried in Safe Mode, same result. Obviously 2.0 is corrupt. Thought I'd try downloading Visual Studio 8 in order to get .NET 3.5 and any other missing files. It errored trying to install 3.5. Tried to install Windows Install Cleanup Utility but get error message: Windows script host: Script: c:\Documents~1\Admin~1\locals\temp\IXP000.tmp\startMsi.vbs. Line: 1 Char: 1 Error: ActiveX component can't create object: Scripting FileSystemObject. Code: 8000A01AD.

Is it possible to stop Windows from creating the 'My Picture's / 'My Music' , etc. folders when user's 'My Documents' are redirected to a server?

Thanks, Tom

I reformatted the drive on a machine, and reinstalled XP, but now when I boot it up it gives me those setup windows screens asking for time zones etc. When I get to the one that says give this computer a name it just hangs up. I hit the next button or the skip button and it just hangs and I power off after 15 or 20 minutes by holding in the power button. I am using the reinstall disk that came with the computer when I bought it. Any way to get past these things?

XP left start menu pinned folder drop down list problem
by Guest GGRock70- 0 replies
- 122 views
I am talking about the LEFT side of the windows XP startup. The startup menu theme is Windows XP NOT Windows Classic. I need to make a pinned folder on the LEFT side of the Windows XP start menu to display a sub menu (or drop down list) list for shortcuts, and NOT have windows explorer open a folder for the custom shortcuts instead. I know you can change folders in the right side menu to show sub menus (or drop down list) by selecting "Display as link" option, but there is no such option for new folders. Can you help me change any new folder on the left side just to display sub menus (or drop down list) list only? BASICALLY: I have used "Windows Class…

Hi all I just upgraded my 2000 server with an additional 1gb RAM. Now I have a problem.. Users (which are not admins) are complaining that they cannot save a file which they open from their folder on the server. They have full rights on their respective folder but still they cannot save, change filename or delete file.. it says a sharing violation or something like that. Also the office files are leaving like TMP files when opened and I cant delete these files also! Can someone suggest a solution to this problem please?? Thanks a lot!

Post filtering on Microsoft Servers

Using my Giganews account I just replied to a post made by Gary Terhune in the thread entitled "open ", "Save", or "Save As" dialog box defaults that was started by a poster named krazykat. It has already shown up in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general in the Comcast and Giganews servers, and it is already on Google groups at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_frm/thread/6f0837ee2046ed2c/00027d07114c0d07#00027d07114c0d07 Is there any reason that it has not yet found its way onto the Microsoft servers, or is it being censored?

Path Not Found
by Guest danika- 1 reply
- 143 views
I am trying to install an old app that uses an InstallShield installer created in 1998 on a new Win XPSP2 computer. I have done this same install on another Win XPSP2 computer and it worked just fine. However, when I click on Setup.exe, I get a message "c:\temp\setup.exe path not found". I tried setting an environment variable using the DOS command path = %PATH%;c\temp\ but I'm still getting the same error. Also, I don't think this problem has anything to do with the Windows temp directory. I have tried doing the install from other directories, for example, c:\mydir\, and in that case the message says "c:\mydir\setup.exe path not found".

"Error moving file" when file is in use by other programs.
by Guest Amaw Opaw- 3 replies
- 177 views
I was reorganizing some of my video files and one of them refused to move because according to Windows, another program was using it. I used Task Manager to look at the open processes, but I couldn't find any that would normally use a movie clip, nor were any media players working at the time. To my untrained eyes, I couldn't find anything anywhere that would be using that file. How can I find out which program is using a file when I get this error message? I'm using XP Pro with SP3, if that helps. Thanks.
