No, I have a PS2 keyboard and I never had a beep. All is still fine.

Well that is what the problem was because all has worked fine since I fixed that key. I guess it was hitting any key to cancel all the time.

Some information I have derived from some trouble shooting. I presently can schedule a chkdsk /f and it will run properly. I have one hard drive and have partitions C, D, E, F, & G. I scheduled chkdsk /f for all the partitions. All except D gave me the option to schedule for the next reboot...

I have tried a diagnostic startup with only basic devices and only necessary services running to boot and still the chkdsk /f will not run. This is about the minimum of everything to possibly clear what has a lock on C Partition?

I have True Image software and so I made an imgage this morning then proceeded to try and find out what had a lock on my C partition that prevents me from being able to /chkdsk /f I uninstalled most applications and the lock on C partition stayed on. I put the save image back on and am now...

The message before this one indicates that all was well on my system and the problem was gone and it was. Today chkdsk will schedule but indicates it is cancelled when the light blue screen appears for checking the C Partition. I uninstalled Zone Alarm emptied the temp folder and dumped the...

Okay, I can now run chkdsk /f and when I reboot windows, it runs fine. Although when I tried to solve this problem yesterday and uninstalled Zone Alarm, I still had a gut feeling it was somehow linked to my present problem. I reinstalled all my original programs such as Zone Alarm, True...

Yes, I can run chkdsk from the command prompt and it will run and report some errors. When I add the /f switch, it says the drive is in use and would you like to schedule and chkdsk to run on the next restart and I say yes and when I restart, I get the chkdsk cancelled message.

When I right click my C drive and go to properties then to tools and do an error check, it tells me it has to be in control of the files so it schedules it on the next reboot. When the reboot occurs, I get the scandisk\chkdsk screen but it then says it has been cancelled. Rebooting to a...

Can someone please provide me with the version number of the tcpip.sys file that would be on a XP pro install with all patches installed? Mine is 5.1.2600.2685. Is this correct for a fully patched XP Pro system? Thanks in advance

linney When I tried to install recovery console as per the first link you provided, it said that the version of windows I have is never than the CD so you could not hit yes to continue the install

Thanks bcastner. I ended up with this: [boot loader] timeout=15 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn...

This is the boot.ini file contents now : [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn How would I modify this file to show the...

I have a cable modem connection and also a phone line connection configured through DUN. My phone line connection was initially through PeoplePC but after having problems I uninstalled their software and paid another ISP that I could configure through DUN. I can find one instance of peoplepc in...

I am running XP Pro with SP2. Sometime after activating XP after the install, I installed a new video card and changed the zip drive from a 100 to a 250. Nothing happened as far as Microsoft detecting changes and making me reactivate. About 2 months later, I changed an internal PCI modem and...

I just ran a test by closing each instance of IE that I had open by going to file and selecting close. Temporary internet files were not deleted.

Well the reason I asked the question, is because I have C and F partition both set for a swap file and right now I have a swap file on C partition but on F partition where I have XP Pro installed and I am on XP right now, there is no swap file...

Okay, what I did so far is to boot into safemode, and opened IE and when I closed it, all temporary internet files were deleted. The registry value is set correctly. Once I booted back into normal mode, I closed out things one at a time in my system tray and eliminated all but Nortor...

I know they are different, I am referring to temporary internet files that if present will allow for faster loading of a web page if no changes are present. Refer to the option for IE under tools - options - advanced tab then scroll down to the bottom portion and look for option that reads...

I have the options set in IE to delete temporary internet files when the browser is closed, however that never happens. Any ideas why?
