I am trying to reinstall my xphome upgrade but the computer is saying that the disk is older than the current installation. I'm assuming it's because of the service packs. I would like to reinstall without losing my files or settings, is this possible?

Hi everyone, I got a NEXS iFlash M1 jump drive a few days ago; it says no drivers necessary except for Win 98/98SE on the packaging. When I plugged it into my laptop (I'm running Win XP Media Center) up pops the Add New Hardware Wizard. So I follow the prompts; it looks for drivers on the machine and (presumably) on the Windows Update site and says it can't find any. I went to Windows Update myself too, didn't find any drivers. I tried the jump drive on computers running Vista, Windows 2000 and Win XP Pro and it worked fine;Plug n Play did its' thing. I'm at a complete loss as to why Media Center refuses to 'Plug n Play' the jump drive. Can't find …

Error sync-ing internet time
by Guest Bart- 12 replies

I have been getting an error message when trying to synchronize my computer time with time.nist.gov on my laptop. Message is: "An error occurred getting the status of the last synchoronization. The RPC server is unavailable." I have been connected to the internet when attempting to sync. Same message with all of the server choices in Control Panel > Date&Time>Internet Time. No problem with sync-ing on my desktop minutes after trying and failing on the laptop. Both are running Norton, so I don't think it's a firewall problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

capacity limiation of using external RAID5? If so, any solution?
by Guest King Cheung- 2 replies

Dear All, I just bough a new CFI Sil3726 Port-Multiplier Box (that is, an external hard disk tower), which comes with a Sil3132R5 PCI-Express lX HBA card (that is, a controller), and I put five WD 640Gbit hard disks into it. I wanted to combine all five disks, total 3200Gbit to run Raid 5. However, when I went to Disk Management under Computer Management, my computer didn't recognize any new hard disk connected, so I couldn't initialize and format. Then if I only combined three hard disks together, (that is, 1920Gbit only), the Disk Management could recognize it and asked me to initialize. In fact, this unit is my second one. My first one is ident…

When I attempt to set a Scheduled Task I receive the following error message: An error has occurred while attempting to set task account information Specific error is 0x80070005 Access is denied You do not have permission to perform the requested operation.

Is there anyplace in the registry that I can make an adjustment for the password for Scheduled Task in order for me to run Scheduled Task? Thanks in advance for your assista…

On my IBM/Lenovo laptop, I (stupidly) downloaded some malicious software from Limewire (now removed) , I'm having continuing problems with IE7 in that when I log into various sites with chatrroms, IE closes without warning - even with multiple tabs open. I installed and ran "Spybot Search & Destroy" and it found various problems and fixed them. I have a PC also running IE7 and trying to understand I compared registry settings and one difference I've noticed now is in the HKEY_USERS section.... In my PC - HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-809525202-2278278253-2770387004-1006\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Feature Control\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDO…

I get the following error message when double left clicking within a Viking Program called 4D Embroidery : {Windows cannot find .'(null)'Make sure you are typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, then click search.} This is no typing of the name. I click the icon, up pops the object that I requested in a separate window along with this error message. I cancel the error message and continue .. Although windows does what I request, that message pops up every time. What is going on? It is extremely annoying. This is occurring on my wife's computer but she does not know how to ask for help Thanks Ross
