Hi all, Every once in a while when I open MSCONFIG, in XP or Vista, and I look in the startup folder, there is a string that has Oriental writing there. I can see where it is loaded in the registry, but not what program it goes to. When you see this in your system, what do you do with it? I usually delete the MSCONFIG line and I delete it in the registry. Thanks for the feedback. Dan (Still going in circles)

Hello, i?m using a german WinXP Pro on a notebook ASUS L5842GXUP. Please excuse my way to describe my problems as i?m not that good with english language. But i want to try here because the results seem to be better than in german support forums. Here are the problems: In event log i?m shown entries from "removable storage device service" with event-id 128. The cd-rom can?t read or work with a library. A little solution i alread found out: Sometimes i get back the entry in library for my CD-ROM Pioneer-K13AS if i do those steps: 1. Stop removable storage device service 2. delete the cd-rom drive in device manager 3. delete the folder ntmsdata under …

Two updates were downloaded. It says that i have to restart my computer to complete the installation. I did that but i still get this message after five minutes of running windows. Any ideas how to fix that?

I am getting the pop up that wants me to debug Just in Time errors. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I can't get into Corel as it keeps popping up no matter what I do. I saw where you can turn it off using Visual Studio but I have no clue how to open that program. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

We created an ASR backup on a server with a RAID array (mirrored drives), swapped the drives out, then ran a restore on the new drives. Everything appeared to go ok but when the restore was done and the system restarted, it just kept rebooting. Didn't appear to make it past the POST. Are there any known issues with an ASR recovery and RAID controller drivers? Although it makes sense one would have to do the F6/add drivers bit during a fresh installation, I don't see why the restored version of Windows would be unable to handle the same controller on a new drive pair.

Hello, I share my PC with a friend who was using a limited account. When they logged on, a message appeared stating that their profile cannot be found … can’t log on. I deleted that account, made another and tried to log on, then that same "cannot locate local profile" message came up. My guest account works but, I cant figure out how to make a second account without that massage appearing. Some direction would be great. Thx.

When shutting down my laptop, I get the message that a single step exception has occurred with tscd_win32.exe. My choices are to click OK to terminate or Cancel. Whether I click a button or not, the computer still shuts down so it doesn't matter what I click. My question is, I looked up the filename and it says it is part of the NTRU Cryptosystems TSS program. I looked in Add/Remove Programs to try and remove it, but nothing like that is listed there. Is this file a part of a Windows update or some other program? I'd like to remove it so I can get rid of this error when I shut down. Thank you in advance for your help!

Just thought I'd post my findings on how to change the settings with webview in relation to My Computer, Recycle Bin, and Control Panel. If anyone's interested, I (a person of limited HTML knowledge) found it quite easy, so you probably would too! First of all, all the files that need modification are in C:\Windows\Web. System and hidden files must me shown. The folder called FOLDER.HTT controls how all folders look (Except the WINDOWS and SYSTEM folders). In the "style" section of the file, right near the top, some of the major changes can be made. P.S. To enable wedia preview, which is very handy, scroll down to the "script" section (not far down) and loo…

Hi all, I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 on my laptop (Thinkpad T60p), with the "Windows Classic"-theme. Every now and then when I boot the computer - I have not yet figured out any pattern - something causes Windows to apply the blueish WinXP look to windows and system taskbar. When I open My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance Options, a check mark has appeared at the "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" option. When I clear the check box, everything is back to normal, but a few days later its magically turned on again as i boot the computer. This is my third laptop running XP Pro SP2, and I have never met this problem before. D…

Has anyone run across an issue where they installed 2003 R2, then joined it to a domain after the fact and having trouble with files copied saying you don't the necessary permissions to either open the file or run the install of an application from another server? I have found with 2003 R2 that if I join it to the domain during install I don't have this issue. If this has happened besides a re-install is there any way to correct this issue. Thanks.

When I start my Windows XP Professional x64 I have no access to any USB devices. In system>Hardware>Device Manager it shows my Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller has an Error 10. If I uninstall it and then run the 'Add New hardware' wizard it detects it and works fine but upon restarting the machine it has the same problem again. I have tried updating the driver but to no avail as well as physically unplugging the connections from the motherboard and rebooting etc. Help please, Thanks

On my Vista machine which has Admin Approval mode enabled for administrators, the Behavior of UAC prompt is set to Prompt for credentials. I'm using a Domain Administrator account. When accessing the Registry locally, the UAC prompt for credentials, pops up before I can access the Registry. When connecting to the Vista registry remotely from a non-Vista machine, are the same registry keys & values available as the ones accessible when using regedit locally on the Vista machine? Is there a difference in the keys/values accessible when accessing the Registry remotely/locally ,when 'Prompts for credentials' is the behavior of the UAC prompt for ad…

I'm in a quandry over page file usage... I have a Windows 2003 server that has 4GB of RAM. Using performance counters it seems that the Pagefile has been set by the OS to 3.2 GB. I am getting Virtual Memory errors and the page file is filling up, but there is still RAM available. The page file will be full but task manager still shows that there is roughly 3GB of RAM available. I know the system always uses some virtual memory but it seems odd to run out of virtual memory before you run out of real RAM. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Am I missing something?

Hi, I have installed a new Win2K3 - R2 Server as member server of the domain; with roles of File Server and Print Server. We have folder share for users on the server and all users are mapped to this share. Folders have rights as per different groups and users. The problem is that sometimes the response for users accessing the files on the server is very slow. Its fine normally, but suddendly the access to any file or while saving it hangs for sometime and gets back normal. There are no sort of errors in the event viewer or any sort of performance issue. I have enabled the File screening option to block audio, video and installer files as per built-in t…
