help! My windows xp will not start past the blue windows is starting screen. Any ideas?

I have a couple USB hard drives and have not had this issue before. All of my drives with the exception of 1 drive works fine. My problem drive is recognized by the system and displays a drive letter in windows explorer but it is blue in color as opposed to black like the other drives. When I try to access the drive it shows no files. I know there are files on the drive because I have copied files to the drive and when I look at the properties it shows that there are about 50GB of data on the drive but I cannot see or access the data. I use this drive as a place to back up data files. This hasn't been an issue in the past and was trying to figure our i…

All, I've been using Veritas (now Symantec) Backup Exec for many years now and frankly I've had enough of the complexity and error proneness of this software.

My Screen Saver doesn't work, nor will the monitor turn off at the intervals I've set. I've examined the settings many times to make sure they don't conflict, and all is as it should be. I had this problem once before, and an HP Rep guided me to a place on Microsoft where I downloaded something to repair this. I've searched, but can't find it again without assistance. Thanks!

I've Windows XP Pro & Windows Server 2003 installed on dual boot system. I only have one hard disk with partitions. I know that formatting the partition where Server is installed, is the only way to get rid of it. My question is, do I still have registry values for Win Server 2003 left behind?

Hi, I have found this forum in desperation, would be grateful for any advice. We have a network with 4x terminal servers serving up to around 20 users each. We have a problem when users log on to terminal sessions, where after a user provides user/password and appears to authenticate, the blue background (that I take to be the first stage of drawing the desktop) appears but the session does not progress further, no taskbar, no desktop icons, just the pointer. Nothing works, and the only way we have found to rectify the problem is for an admin to reset the session through terminal services manager. This problem appears to happen randomly - it can affect an…

After patching desktops with 2008 September's patches the quick launch bar dissapears. It can be manually be activated but need to understand reason and also possible registry fix.

Hi, We run Windows server 2003. I try to use NTBackup to backup data to a mapped network drive. The manual backup is completed successfully, but the scheduled backup failed with error message: Backup Status: The operation was not performed because the specified media cannot be found. It seems the mapped network drive is disconnected while the scheduled job try to run. Is there anyone know why this happen? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Lisa

Hello: In the Display settings in Windows XP Control Panel, the drop-down list for monitor 1 and 2 read "(Multiple)". Now, only 1 says "(Mulitple)". #2 says "Plug and Play". I want them both to say "(Multiple)" in the drop-down list. I wish that I had never played with these settings, and I cannot remember how to switch them back. I don't care about those two checkboxes at the bottom. I just want each of the two selections in the drop-down to red "(Multiple)" ,like it was in the beginning. Would rebooting help? If not, how do I fix this? Thanks! childofthe1980s
