My small network is setup so that all shared drives can be seen. However, when trying to access any Vista drive from an XP PC it says there an issue and to contact the administrator of the server. The exact wording is the standard response.. On the Vistas ( Premium) I've set all the...

This could be a WORD problem but may be related to XP.. This is because I've completey reformatted the drive, installed a fresh XP and installed MS Word 2002. When typing in WORD it gets so far then freezes WORD... you can type as much as you like in Outlook Express but it also locks up...

I have a home network that has worked well prior to Vista ( I'm not suggesting Vista is at fault..) The main PC connects thru a wireless broadband router and has a common group name with the others. Each has IP addresses and gateway set. The in house laptop ( XP Pro ) has no problems with full...

Under XP and in I.E. anytime I try to browse I get a redirection takeover the address line and nothing will appear other than the cannot display message common with say, mispelt addresses. I fancy there may be a registry fix for this but I cannot find it anywhere on google, although I'm sure I...

When instructed (Mailwasher Pro ) to move some application data files from my name\application data\remote to \local I cannot open those folders. Access denied I checked in User Accounts in CP and ticked everyone plus me + administrator.. I can't see any thread on it so far so maybe I'm just...

My XP Home will popup a screen asking for required action when I put a removable ram drive in..but when I put a CD or DVD in it looks like its doing something ( cursor flashes a bit. but nothing results). I've set the autoplay setting in the device manager in My Computer but still I cant get CD...

I think that is what it is called. This is, when I place a removable media into a device I dont get the popup screen that allows me to select a temporary or permanent action for that kind of media. Can't figure out how to enable the function.

I recently added another drive to my PC which has XP Pro running on the first HDD. Being interested in Vista I obtained the Beta version and installed into the 2nd drive, which it defaults to in the booting menu. I've found enough minor problems with my current programs under Vista ( not an...

I have a DLink Modem/router 504 and have recently added a DLink Wireless router DI-624+ to it. It seems that since then my broadband connection appears to become "lost" but can quickly be recovered by using "repair". It's doing this regularly and I'm unable to determine why. I have the ip...

After repairing a current corrupted 98SE installation from cab files the final 98 splash screen appears on the desktop but doesnt have the optional lower left tick box to turn it off after closing. I've tried it from within & out of the desktop but it still persists. I don't know how to get it...

I am looking at 2 different, but similiar Pc's running XP Home. If I dont set IP Address/subnet the both report limited connctivity.. When I do, making unique IP for each and having the same group name, although the C; drive is fully shared ( or so it seems) only one PC can actually open the...

On a P4 system with XP Pro I recently did a clean reinstall of the whole system. Since then I've been unable to install any USB printer despite having done so on that PC previous to the last reinstall. I faithfully follow the instalation CD right up to where it asks for the USB cable to be...

I have an external USB2.0 drive (IDE ATA) and have made a image backup from my Win98 laptop. When I connect the ext drive to my XP Pro PC it sounds like it connected but is not shown in My Computer.. but in Disk Manager it sees it fine.. I actually used DM to prepare the partitions ( there are 2...

Sometimes when needed I find there have been no system checkpoints made when it would have been handy to have one/several. I understand that XP automatically makes them for some general reason such as installation of ceratain software and drivers but is it possible to have it do it regularly at...

The PC has XP on it.. it normally uses dialup and although it "connects" it will not display webpages or process emails. connecting thru ethernet via broadband doesnt work either. The owner is using Firefox and Thunderbird and seems to have removed IE from the system. When trying to ping from...

I've owned a couple of these for a few years and occasionally have found difficulty getting either to work on a specific PC at some time. currently the PC has been freshly setup with XP Pro and another USB printer works fine. However I cannot get the icon for the7100 to appear in PRINTERS no...

My printer has a parallel port which works fine, however it also has a network adapter and so I've being trying to connect thru my P4 XP Pro PC ( part of a small network..) I've printed out the network status sheet which says its set for 10.1.40.202 255.255.0.0 GW 0.0.0.0. port 910 Host JSRM9...
