RE: Window XP update causes conflict during system boot (by =?Utf-8?B?QWFyb24=?= on 12 Jun 2004, no replies)
I am also having similar problems. I installed the update this morning. My computer was running fine till I rebooted. Now I have problems. If I start up normally, I cannot get past the Windows XP home edition screen with the scrolling green meter. It will just sit for about a minute or so and just go to a black screen. After about 10 minutes or so, XP will do a disk check and there are very many corrupted or unreadable files detected. It will 'fix' these files. The result is that I stay on the Windows XP home edition screen a shorter amount of time before I get the black screen. I have tried starting it in safe mode but it locks up while listing all of the drivers. It never goes to desktop. Same for safe mode with networking. I have tried the option of last known good configuration and it just goes to the Windows XP home edition screen for about a minute then sits at a black screen. I attempted to boot from my CD rom with my Windows XP disk, but that didn't work either. It behaved as if I was starting Windows normally. So, I inserted my Windows 98 startup disk. (not a typo) The hope was to use some of the diagnostic tools to check the computer. I ran scandisk but no errors reported. I went back to boot from CD and XP setup started up! Now, I can probably put a new install of XP over top the old one and I will at least have a functioning computer. But, what happened? I know 99% of users probably had no problems with this update and this is my first problem with updates. My computer was running great till I installed this update. I certainly dont want to install this update on any other computers! Any useful information will be greatly appreciated. ... (more)

Dial up credentials not found and Windows XP (by =?Utf-8?B?YmVycnljdXRlMw==?= on 12 Jun 2004, no replies)

I can get back on the internet if I re install MSN in Windows XP but as soon as I disconnect and try to log back on the dial up properties are gone and have to re-do it all again. I have all the updated patches also. What could be causing this to happen is it something in Windows XP possibly or the firewall.

I've noticed some problems on my computer, first, frequently when I boot up some games, such as Knights of the Old Republic, it'll crash Windows explorer. Also, after about 8-12 hours my computer will just lock up. Maybe that's overheating? One last thing, if I double click on a video file, mpeg, avi, whatever, Media Player won't play it, it'll give me the hourglass icon for a few moments, and then nothing will happen, I have to right click and go to Play to get it to work. Any ideas? ... (more)

Problems with iomega zip drive in Win XP HE (by =?Utf-8?B?Qko=?= on 12 Jun 2004, 1 reply)

I replaced my hard drive and upgraded from Win 98 SE to Windows XP Home Edit. I did not make any hardware changes. Everything went smooth except for my Iomega Drive showing up as "Removable Storage" under "MY Computer" Device manage displays it correctly. Bios setting has it listed as a second floppy drive. I can get the drive to eject but it will not format or let me read the contents. I have tried disconnection it and reloading it. Same result. When I right click properities it say "file type "raw" beats me." But under hardware it is listed as Iomega 100 mg zip. ??? Would it have sometihing to do with jumper settings. I can not see this being an issure though since it worked fine with the current jumper settings in Win98 SE. I even tried to format with NTFS file type and Fat won't format , Just says cannot format. I hope someone has a fix for this problem. Thanks ahead of time.
