HP doesn;t have a driver for the Photo Smart P100 preinter..If any of you guys know of anyone with 3rd party drivers that might work, let me know. I tried win 200 drivers...no go

When this last batch of Viruses hit the net, I read that microsoft shut it's Windows Update site down. Is it still down? I've loaded run the latest files from the Microsoft.com website, but if I try going to Windows Update, I get the old "that site don't exist" message. (paraphrasing). Everything else works great. Any Ideas? thanks Yes, my copy is legal.

Thanks for the info guys. I've tried all that..no go. But, after a few more trys, it's started redirecting me to the www.microsoft.com home page every time. I've also tried pinging those addresses...also, no luck. Thanks again

I run XP professional. I use an NEC MultiSync LCD1700m+ monitor. The native resolution of the monitor is 1280X1024. I have my desktop set to that and there is no problem. But, When booting, everything on the screen looks like it's running about 640X480 and covers a tiny spot on the screen. It use to cover the full screen. Also the monitor pops up a window that says "NON PRESET MODE". I've read a bit on the NEC web site. It addresses "what the problem is", but not how to resolve it. . Any of you guys have a clue? Oh yea, I'm running a ATI Radeon 7200 graphics card.... THanks

I have a Creative DVD Rom, the EncoreDxr3 that goes with it and an SBlive value sound card. I have been playing movies on my projection TV. The picture and sound quality has been wonderful. I've read out on the net that the Hercules Fortissimo could play the DVD's in Dolby Digital. So, I bought one. It came with an array of software. What little information came with it explained that PowerDVD is to be used to play DVDs. My problem is I can't get the video to the TV. WIth PowerDVD, I can get the 5.1 soundtrack to the Stereo, but not the video, If I use the PC-DVD Player that came with the Creative DVD ROM, I can get the video to the TV, but not the sound. If anybody has any ideas on this , please let me know Thanks in advance!!! Ruben

I've got the picture from the 7200 pretty good now. Having a problem getting Dolby Digital from the Hercules Fortissimo III . But, that's another problem I can work through. I widh I could have got the video from the DXR3 card. Geez it was beautiful. I'm gettin it figured out a little at a time, but you guys have helped a lot. My biggest problwm is getting the time to play with it. I have to run the family into another room. That doesn't bode well.....have a god day!!!

No, not plugged to anything at this time......THis happened once before and i swear I can't remember what I did to fix it....

Thanks for the ideas guys. I currently have video from the dxr3 card and audio from the Hercules card. I've yet to get Dolby Digital though. The reason for my insistance of video from the DXR3 card is that video from my ATI Radion 7200 card is pretty bad. I have faith I'll get it to work, or I'll get another card.

I'm using XP Pro. When I initially installed it, I set it to log into Windows without a password screen. A couple of weeks ago when I had to reboot, it started up ans displayed a password screen that more resembles Windows NT. I just hit OK without a password and it botts up as usual. Also, when I click Start and then Shutdown...the resulting dialog box also looks like an NT box. Does anyone know how to reset it back to what looked more like XP screens ?

Xiven...that was it!!!!!! Thanks... I know this was a very little thing. Why should I get crazy over a litttle thing such as a logon/logoff screen? The little things drive me cRAZZZZZY.....LOL...thanks again

It's got to be pretty well hidden for me not to see it..but any help is appreciated... rbduck@hotmail.com ..well the choice comes up in mezron's tweakui, but not mine....Search me for the differences... ;(

The only thing under logon AUTOLOGON and there is a place for USERNAME and PASSWORD. I expanded LOGON and it's not there. I know that sounds crazy, but it's not there. I've looked really well. I downloaded it from the link you put here. It's version 2.00.1.0...I also uninstalled the earlier version. rebooted and reinstalled... I keep editing this post :x .. I went through every Title and sub title...It's not there.... ;(

Well dang Ezron, I have tweakui, but none of the selections has the item you named in the note.. I'm continuing to look though. If I'm not mistaken, I do think it changed when I loaded the .net update.

I've got an ABIT KT7A RAID running a ATI 7200 DDR64 VIVO. Windows XP Pro SP1. I created a restore point. I'm trying to load updated drivers for the video board, During one of the failed attempts, I noticed that the post and boot screens were now in a different resolution, It continues that way until it gets to the WELCOME screen. At that point the video goes full screen. After trying to load the newer drivers with no success, i restored it. BUT, the weird resolution is still there during a boot. This problem is more courisity than anything. If any of you guys have had a similar problem. Lemme know, thanks

Thanks for answering EddiE314. Can you remember what regestry item you changed? Your description of your problem is exactly what I'm getting. Alien, I'll take a look this evening. Thanks What got this started was I am trying to install the lates ATI drivers and updated versions of their programs. For once, I followed their instructions. Bad move. I created restore point. I uninstalled the programs and driver. Step by Step. Everything was fine until I started loading things back up . Everything went to Heck. I then did a restore. I noticed on reboot that everything before the welcome screen was a different resolution. :x I even restored from 1 week previous. Same result. I finally got my previous version of everything reloaded. This is the second time RESTORE didn't work very well. That'll be the LAST time I EVER follow instructions.

I know you can add or remove start up items by selecting or deselecting items in MSConfig. My question is. How can you remove the item completely from the MSConfig window? I have removed applications, bu they keep showing up in the MSConfig window.

Thanks for the reply. There must be something not right about either my Monitor driver or Radeon Video driver. That selection in the advanced settings has no effect on the desktop fonts at all....Thanks

If I remember, When I first loaded XP, the desktop fonts had shadows and were not in colored boxes. I know that you can set it for Cleartype font in properties/appearance/effects, but there is still the same old fonts in the colored boxes under each Icon.....How can I set it back up for the shadowed fonts on the desktop???

I have a vbs script that I'm trying to run in XP. I found an installation file that is supposed to it. It says the upgrade is complete but when the vbs error is that "windows nt version is not supported in this script" Any clues? THanks in advance

I'm Running a KT7A Raid with sblive value, Radeon Video card and PhotoSmart P1000 printer. I had no problem at all with the XP driver. I can't say that I did anything magical to get it to work. I am using it on the Parallel port and not USB. I have a Canon Scanner on the USB port. I'm also running AMD 1.2 Ghz processor overclocked to 1.333 Ghz. With all the junk I'm running I should be having many problems. The only thing I've not been able to run is that TweakXP. I've tried every single version of that and all I get is program errors and Lockups.

Self Explanitory

I'm running an ABIT KT7A Raid. I bout the CPU,MB and SBLive card in a bundle. I really didn't pay much attention until last night. I was surfing on the creative site and from the description there, I have an SBLive Value Digital. What's confused me it there there are the usual Mic and line inputs. Two line outputs and the digital output. In the manual, both are describrd as outputs to an external amp. One also has a note that it is the one that supports headphones. That particular one has zero signal coming from it. Has anyone else had any experience lie this??

I went to Windows Update and there was a new driver for SBLive. It downloaded, but would never install. Plus,after this and a reboot I could log on my DSL account, but I couldn't access any web sites. Another reboot, no help. I did a system restore..rebooted and got message saying it could not be restored to an earlier date. I was able to get web sites after this.

yep..that's what it was.. I had to uninstall zone alarm pro ad then restore it to a point before it was installed before the pc began to stablize...but it defanitely doesn't like zone alarm

oops.. I saw the reply about zone alarm... THat could possibly be my problem also.. I'll check it and see. sorry for awny inconvience
