I need to get my program to run just after the log in and when the desktop is shown first. The timing is important! My program should run just after the log in screen unloads(when only the wallpaper is visible) and before the desktop items loads and show in Win XP. Tried using service but my program needs to run under the current user rather than under "SYSTEM". Putting in Startup folder and "...\Run" key in registry also didn't help 'cause they loaded the program too late. Could 'wlnotify.dll' have done the job? Or please suggest me anyother way.

I need to get my program to run just after the log in and when the desktop is shown first. In my case, the timing is important. The program should load just after the log in screen unloads (when only the wallpaper is visible) and before the desktop fully loads in XP. Tried using service but my program also needs to run under the current user rather than under "SYSTEM". Placing my program under startup folder or defining a key for it in "HKLM\Windows\...Run" also didn't work 'cause it loads my program too late. Could 'wlnotify.dll' have been used?

All the profiles have some how been corrupt. It says that it cant find the profile and you will log in with the temp profile. Even the Administrator account profile is corrupt. I've tried to create a new account with admin rights, but same thing accours (cant find the profile), when I try to log in. It seems to be impossible to create a admin account. When I try with system recovery, the recovery display is blank (Win/Dos). Tried also with Repair Disk. Earlier one of the accounts where corrupt, but not the rest. I solved that by creating a new account. Summary - All profiles are corrupt or can't find the profile - Same thing if I create a new account -…

I recently had to do a Windows XP recovery on my daughters computer, as it had totally crashed due to a virus enfection; no virus protection had been installed at that time :( After several tries, I got it up and runnning (humming, actually) and she downloaded all the updates including SP2. Virus protection installed and everything was running smoothly for several weeks. She said it was like a new machine. Suddenly yesterday, without warning, she turned it on and could not get Windows to start. It looked like it was starting normally, but then after long minutes of nothing happening (Windows XP screen that you first see when starting), the screen goes blac…

Hi, Our local social club was given a fairly modern PC (using XP) by someone who was emigrating. There were a few problems that I sorted out as I'm reasonably computer literate. However the one that has stumped me is when I go to control panel / user accounts with a view to introducing some new users, the user accounts window is blank and there is no way of adding or deleteing an account. I tried safe mode but I got the same result there. I also had a wee look on Doug Knox's site to see if there was a registry tweak for this but could not find any. (The default user is definitely an administrator account) Can anyone help with this? Thanks in antici…

My old hard drive has just seen its last days i.e blew up so I've gone out and bought a new hard drive today. How do I get windows xp ont o the new hard drive? What do I need and where do I get it from (if I need a cd)?

I recently installed a new Maxtor 200 gb hard drive and coppied the files from my old 30 mb drive using MaxBlast 4 software. Several weeks later I had occasion to need the Restore function but got an error message that the request had to be terminated and a report was sent to Microsoft. I have tried to turn Restore off and on again, and all of the basic Restore tips in the basic Windows mainenance help. I have also gone to the safe mode and run, %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe. All attempts ultimately give the same message as found in the Event Viewer as follows: "Faulting application rstrui.exe, version 5.1.2600.2188, faulting module srrstr.dll, vers…

I was able to buy from BUY COM an hp computer that still comes with Windows XP. My current (old computer) has windows xp. >From what I know, there are several methods of transferring files and applications from the old computer to the new. One is using either Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image to CLONE the contents of the old computer's drive to the new computer's drive. Another method that I am reading about is using a program made by Laplink called PC MOVER to transfer files and applications from old computer to new. Any opinions as to which is the better way of making the transfers? All opinions welcomed. The new computer arrives in a few days …

I have XP Version 5.1 Service Pack2 OS, Nortons Anti-Virus, and serveral programs installed. Most of the Media Center Games and programs have been uninstalled. It seems to take much too long for the PC to boot up, and when it boots, after a few moments, the screen turns black and then resumes for a few seconds before it's completly booted. What services are esential for the PC to run properly in the Start MSconfig-Services. I tried stopping on several and then the Nortons stopped working. I restarted them. What other services can I stop? Is there a link that explains what each service does? Thanks -- milkman

I have a SBS network with XP clients. One of these clients has suddenly stopped responding to Remote Desktop. That is, i can remote desktop out from this client, but can't remote desktop to it from other clients or the sbs server. Furthermore, while i can access all normal network services from the desktop, i can't access the desktop's C$ share remotely. From that client i can telnet to the localhost port 3389 and it sits there (conenction is opened). Remotely the connection is just timing out. When i disable the Windows firewall, it has no effect. I've also turned on logging on the firewall, and i can't see any dropped connections when it is ac…
