    XP Home Locks after Update

    I have been working on this Dell Presario 700 for about two weeks now. The computer was originally locking up which is why it was put in my hands. I decided to restore the computer with the Restore Disks. It ran beautifully. I started doing the Windows updates and it started freezing again...

    Assigning weird IP

    Yes, I had the TCP/IP Alternate Configuration set to the reserved addresses. I guess the other thing I noticed was when I view the Local Area Connection Status in the school the address type is "Assigned by DHCP" and at the rectory it is "Manually Configured". Could it be that there is some...

    Assigning weird IP

    We only have one server and that is in the school. The rectory uses the same IP pool and the same subnet. I have reserved an IP for my notebook but I still cannot connect at the rectory. When I plug in the patch cord (normally connected to a functioning computer) I get the bubble indicating...

    Assigning weird IP

    We have a network that is cat5 wired in the school. From the front office it is linked with a wireless antenna to another building which is also hard wired. All desktops in each building work fine-they automatically pull up the IP address. I have a notebook that I use in the school building...

    comp restarts instead of shutdown

    I was working on a friends computer that was all messed up. I thought I had it completed when low and behold I too had this problem. She is an AOL user (I think AOL is my Nemisis) and I had to reinstall it. After following the suggestions of shutting down individual programs, I found that the...

    Floppy drive mixup

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. The drive swapping was enabled-I never would have figured it out. Once again Tek-Tips saves my butt and makes me look like a genius in front of the Tech Committee ;-) Trisha

    Floppy drive mixup

    I have a unique problem I have never encountered before. I work at a school and we get donated computers. This one is working fine running Win98 EXCEPT-in the BIOS it lists my floppies as A: 1.44 3.5 B: NONE- When it boots up it shows A: NONE and B: 1.44 3.5- In My Computer it show no B...

    Windows Installer

    Thanks, I will definitely keep this on file for the future. I did end up formatting on this machine but I have about 50 others that I'm sure will cause me some sort of grief in the future!

    Windows Installer

    I've noticed a few old threads on this problem but no responses so I am trying again. I am running WinXP Home and Office 2000 Pro. Everything has been fine until I tried to open an Access Wizard from the New Document link. All of the wizards were associated with WinAmp. I reassociated the...

    Network Setup Problem

    The problem is solved. I unplugged the antenna from the window in the school and the window in the rectory. It worked. I can't believe it because I had unplugged the server, the switches, the router, and the D-Link hub in the basement but never the antenna! Thank you so much for your advice...

    Network Setup Problem

    I found another interesting thing. The computer that doesn't connect was just loaded with Quickbooks 2002. We are having a problem printing so I went to the printer setup option. Guess what-ALL of the networked printers show up! I did get a call from the gentleman who did the wireless and he...

    Network Setup Problem

    1. I will try to uninstall the TCP/IP will let you know. 2. The light is on on the NIC. 3. I found out something else, although I can see the Rectory Office (a different computer than the one with the problem)in my Network Places, I cannot ping its IP from the school. I will try to ping the...

    Network Setup Problem

    Ipconfig works with XP. The IP address that I get is 169.254.52.49-this is not one of our IPs "If your WinXP system is getting an IP address, it must be connecting to the server in the school..." If it is not getting the IP from the server, would it be getting it from one of the...

    Network Setup Problem

    We don't assign IP addresses, we obtain IP automatically. I did try to assign the specific IP address and it still didn't work. I kept getting assigned a "generic" address (it was completely different than our IPs) How do I check to see if your Win XP computer can get a dynamic...

    Network Setup Problem

    I need help with a problem I've encountered but I will need to give you a bit of explaination of the setup so please bear with me. I work in a small Catholic school and we get most of our technology help done by volunteers. I have learned quite a bit but I am still pretty ignorant about...
