    Changing where XP creates NEW user profiles

    I'm trying to get XP SP3 to create user profiles for brand-new users on a different drive. I don't care about existing profiles. I don't need to move them. I just need all subsequent profiles on D:. The only things I've found that relate to changing the default location are to either 1. use...

    CD won't burn - not a hardware problem?

    Hi folks, I got a weird one here... I have a CD burner that won't burn CDs. You can add files to be ready to be burned, but once you start the wizard and click Next, it tells you there is NO CD in the drive. This is not true. I've tried the CD burner in a different machine (XP SP 3, all...

    Can't run EXEs after virus removal, regedit is also broken

    Hi. I'm trying to fix a friend's computer. It was/is infected with what I believe is "Antivirus 2010" (ave.exe). Well, ave.exe appears to be gone, but now executable files will not run. Instead, when I try to run an executable, the "Open With" dialog box comes up. I've found fixes for this...

    Port Scan attempts...what do I do?

    I have been getting this odd warning for the past few days. I understand that port 3128 is used by squid proxy servers. I notified the ISP of this as soon as I saw it...they have NO IDEA what's going on, nor do they seem willing to try and fix the problem. Ideas? Here's the warning: [00001]...

    Help with connecting multiple sites via WLAN

    OK, here's what I got: I have 4 Linksys WAP11s (v2.6 or better) in different buildings. Signal strength is not an issue, as I've already had it checked. One building has the router. The other 3 buildings have PCs connected to each AP via a switch. I'm confused which mode to use, though, to...

    Windows logs on then immediately logs off

    Hi there...I have a computer here that will allow you to log in, but immediately log you off. I've tried the suggestions here: http://www.winxptutor.com/wsaremove.htm It didn't work. I've also run an AV and anti-malware program via UBCD4WIN, and it didn't find anything. Any other...

    I have a computer here. It has 2 email accounts (POP3). One POP3 account works like a charm. The other one will not receive messages and gives me an error of 80042108. I've tried turning off the firewall. It doesn't work. I've disabled antivirus. That doesn't help. Other people can...

    Computer won't recognize CD drive

    This computer I'm working on will not allow me to use the DVD-ROM. I looked in Device Manager, and the drive has a yellow "!" on it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no avail. BIOS recognizes it. Windows shows it is there, but the specific error on it (through Device Manager) is...

    Why Won't My New CD-ROM Work?

    I've tried everything I can think of.  In the Device Manager, it says "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)"  Which is funny, because in POST, it finds the hardware juuuuuust fine.I've tried swapping IDE channels.  I've...

    FIVE Separator Pages???

    This is probably a really simple question to answer but...I have a user that ends up having FIVE separator pages print per document/print job. I want just ONE per print job. I've tried multiple programs, as well as all of the standard separator pages found in the system32 directory. Your help...

    Weird printing problem

    I have an HP 895Cxi that used to work on this computer (XP SP2) before it was shut down for the summer. Now, it won't print anymore. To give you a series of events, here's what happens: 1. I send a print job to the printer. 2. The printing device readies itself for the print job, just like...

    Computer logs on then logs off

    I have a computer here that just today started asking people for a password (there's no password on this machine). Knowing there's no password, they just log on. And the computer does log the person on...then immediately log them off again, and put them back at the password screen (not the...

    Wierd Network Connection Problem

    OK, I have this computer (Win XP SP 2 512 MB P4 2.8 GHz and all that jazz) that is very slow when it comes to connecting to web resources. Also, and this is the bigger thing here, IT WILL NOT PRINT to a network printer (shared or otherwise). Instead, the print screen will hang (sometimes it...

    Computer Won't Start. Sometimes.

    I have an AMD PC (Shuttle AI61 motherboard) here that SOMETIMES won't start. I can get it to start if I don't have the video card installed (but I get 1 long and 2 short beeps--which I know means 'no video'). Instead, what it will do is start spinning the fans, then immediately shut off. I...

    Bandwidth throttling on an NS-5XT?

    Can it be done? And if so, can someone point me to a useful reference? I'm trying to curtail the use of streaming audio (i.e. MSN Radio, Pandora, etc) on our network, as we have some critical applications that are bandwidth-sensitive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
