Re: roaming profiles (by Lanwench [MVP - Exchange] on 30 May 2004, no replies)

Secondly, even if you had a domain, profiles are different between OS
versions, so you can't roam from W2k to XP Pro without getting some profile
corruption eventually. ... (more)

XP Install Problems ? 64 bit ? (by =?Utf-8?B?cG9seW1lcm9uZQ==?= on 31 May 2004, no replies)
I have installed xp dozens of times and have never encountered the problems that I am having recently. Either the computer encounters setup errors during the install, or it freezes and during the service pack 1 installation. In either case I have not been able to run xp properly. The last freeze was ... Setup cannot copy the file: iyuv_32.dll ... approx 86% of the way into the setup. Using another xp disk and "retrying" doesn't solve the problem, and I doubt both disks would be flawed identically. Tried both of my CD drives with no success. I have one IDE hard drive to which I am making the installation (the other drives are SATA in RAID configs, but I'm not depending upon them at this point in the installation). This rig has a ASUS SK8V Mb, which utilizes a AMD 64 FX-53 CPU and 2Gb RAM. Appreciate any help. ... (more)

Home network (by =?Utf-8?B?Um95IEtuaWdodA==?= on 31 May 2004, 1 reply)
I have a router that I have been using for my desktop and my PS2 so I can be on one and not have to unplug the modem everytime I want to use one or the other. So a couple of days ago I bought a laptop and connected it through the wireless feature on it, and then I thought "Maybe I should play around with a network" and this came to me because I have a larger hard drive on my desktop. My original intent was to be able to connect to the desktop from the laptop. Well I did the home network setup and used the option "This computer connects to the internet through another computer or through a residential gateway" for both the laptop and the desktop. I did the wizard for both and I could view the laptops shared files on the desktop and laptop but I could not view shared files on the desktop through the Laptop. So I maped out the network drive and used Z: for the network drive and that was done on my Desktop. I clicked on the "View workgroup computers" and I can see both on my desktop but I can only see the laptop on my laptop. The desktop is connected through an ethernet adapter and my laptop is done through 802.11 wireless lan card. I have everything set up through my router (WEP, wireless enabled, encryption set at 128, and my key specified). Can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong or any suggestion would be greatful. I will give my EMAIL adress, please feel free to email if you have anyquestions at all. ... (more)

Reactivate or try to reinstall wpa.dbl? (by =?Utf-8?B?Z2p3MTc3MQ==?= on 31 May 2004, 1 reply)
I have an OEM copy of Windows XP Pro on a home-built computer. After installing ALL XP upgrades I cannot use my Visioneer 7100 scanner. I get the problems stated in KB Article 819017 and 821690. I have installed the updated drivers without any improvement. Knowing the dirvers worked well once upon a time in my system and still work in 2 friends computers; I put in a clean Maxtor drive and did a new installation. I have downloaded all XP critical and many recommended updates with no error messages during start-up; I can scan with the original Visioneer 7100 scanner drivers with no problems. Sure looks like a Microsoft XP update problem to me!

I have already tired a reinstall over the old XP installation with the help of the Windows XP CD, but saw no improvements.
Now I want to go back to my old drive, write zero and do a fresh install on the old Western Digital drive. Should I try to use the old wpa.dbl and .bak or just re-activate on-line?????
