If you use the Map Network Drive Wizard to connect to a network share by using
different user credentials and you use the browse functionality to locate the network
share, you may receive the following error message:
The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and
password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any
existing mappings to this network share.
You receive this error message even though you are not aware of making a different
connection.
Multimedia Device Does Not Work After You Update Its Driver
After you update the driver for your multimedia hardware device, the device may not
work. This issue most likely occurs with TV tuner cards or similar devices.
Microsoft has released a processor driver for Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) that
supports the mobile power management features of Intel Pentium M processors.
These features include Intel Enhanced SpeedStep Technology and Intel Deeper Alert
Sleep State. Without this processor driver, Windows XP-based computers that are
based on the Intel Pentium M processor may experience reduced battery life,
decreased performance, or increased operating temperatures.
The FLUSH CACHE Command Is Not Issued and the Hard Disk May Become
Corrupted When You Enter Standby or Hibernate
The flush cache command is not issued to a large hard disk that has a 48-bit logical
block address (LBA) enabled. As a result, the hard disk may become corrupted when
you enter either the Shutdown state or the Hibernate state.
HOW TO: Change the Volume Licensing Product Key on a Windows XP SP1-
Based Computer
This article describes how to change the Windows XP product key in a Volume
Licensing installation.
Because of changes in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows XP-based
computers that use a leaked product key that is known to be available to the general
public may not be able to install SP1 or automatically obtain updates from the
Windows Update Web site.
There are two methods that you can use to change the product key with volume
licensing media after installation. You can use either the Windows Activation Wizard
graphical user interface (GUI) or a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
script.
The easier method to use is the Use the Activation Wizard method. Use this method
when you only have a few computers on which to change the product key. The Use a
Script method is best when you have a number of computers on which you have to
change the product key.
Installing a Plug and Play printer in Windows XP is usually as easy as plugging it into
your computer and waiting a few seconds for the Found new hardware message to
be displayed. However, if you run into printing problems, whether you’re adding a
printer that isn’t a Plug and Play device, setting up a shared printer, or updating a
printer driver to work with Windows XP, these links can lead to solutions.
Windows XP comes with improved security features that help you protect your
computer and your information. However, you must maintain your computers by
regularly installing the latest security updates from Microsoft.
After you install Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), you may see a variety of errors
relating to Windows XP SP1 client computers. These errors may include, but are not
limited to the following errors:
When you open Microsoft Office files, they are opened as read-only (you have to
click Save As to save a file).
You cannot copy files.
The file or the network path no longer exists.
Network paths are not accepted by any network provider.
Messenger Spam
Users who forgo recently released SP1 risk a major vulnerability, as well as missing
numerous small fixes.
Some Windows XP users are having trouble installing the operating system's first
service pack, bulging with bug fixes and updated drivers--and are judging the cure
worse than the disease.
Although SP1 plugs a major hole in the OS, the fix has been painful for a tiny but
vocal few of the estimated 1 million users who have downloaded the update, which
Microsoft posted on September 9. For the vast majority, the download and
installation has gone well, according to a Microsoft spokesperson, who calls the
process "smoother than a lot of previous releases."
But Internet support forums and e-mail to PC World from disgruntled users show
that many people continue to have serious problems with the update. The chief
complaint: PCs that run like molasses after installing SP1. Running a close second
are reports that PCs refuse to restart after installation or become highly unstable.
Some systems continuously reboot. Other users complain that applications won't
start or now crash repeatedly, including Microsoft's own programs.
Security boards are buzzing with warnings of a serious hole, but Microsoft is simply
urging users to upgrade.
Microsoft always urges users to update programs when it ships a Service Pack, but
an easily exploited Windows XP flaw makes it especially important that users of the
operating system download and install the newly released SP1 promptly, several
security experts warn.
The Win XP flaw is described as a still little-known but critical vulnerability, and is
described as "trivially easy" to exploit by some who have studied it. It could allow
files on any PC running Windows XP to be deleted simply by clicking on a malicious
URL, according to bug hunter's reports.
An exploit could be distributed by e-mail as a URL the recipient is invited to click, or
posted in a newsgroup or on a Web page.
Stop 0x000000D1 Error Message When You Turn Your Computer Off
When you shut down your computer that has one or more universal serial bus (USB)
devices attached to it, you may receive the following error message on a blue
screen:
Stop 0x000000D1 (0x00000040, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xfc96a9dc)
This problem may occur because the OHCI endpoint is unable to find the transfer
descriptor in the list.
You may not be able to log on to your new Windows XP-based computer, or a
computer in which Windows XP was installed from an installation source created by
your administrator with Sysprep, after you run the Wizard, also called Out-of-Box
Experience (OOBE), that runs when you first turn on the computer. You may also
receive the following error message
System error lsass.exe:
When trying to update a password the return status indicates that the value provided
as the current password is not correct.
This problem occurs if your computer is restarted during the Wizard (OOBE). If this
occurs, OOBE cannot flush the Machine registry key before the computer is restarted.
One-Click Shutdown
If you have Clean Sweep Deluxe, Mike recommends that you disable it before
proceeding. Follow these directions to create a one-click shutdown shortcut:
If the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the correct
letter of the hard drive.
Now whenever you want to shut down, just click on this shortcut and you're done.
Also, if you want to make life better and faster, you can right-click the new shortcut
you just made, go to Properties, and type in X (or whatever letter) in the Shortcut
Key box.
When you shut down your computer, Microsoft Windows XP may stop responding
(hang) while the following message is displayed:
Saving your settings.
When this occurs, you may be able to move the mouse pointer, but when you press
CTRL+ALT+DEL, nothing happens. This issue may occur only occasionally.
This behavior can occur if the Input Method Editor (IME) is installed on your
computer and is enabled for use in the Welcome Screen.
You can use SPCheck to determine the service pack level of various installed
components on Windows XP-based computers. SPCheck generates a report that lists
the origin of each file for each installed component. SPCheck reports the current
service pack level for the following components:
SPCheck examines each component, one file at a time. SPCheck must run under a
security context that is equivalent to the local Administrator account. If SPCheck
does not run under this security context, files may be reported as missing even
though they are installed. SPCheck searches for files by using the PATH system
environment variable. If files are reported as missing (although they are installed),
make sure that the folder or folders in which the component is installed are included
in the PATH system environment variable.
This article describes how to change the location of the paging file in Windows XP.
The paging file is the area on the hard disk that Windows uses as if it were random
access memory (RAM) This is sometimes known as "virtual memory." By default,
Windows stores this file on the same partition as the Windows system files. You can
increase the performance of Windows, and increase free space on the boot partition,
by moving this file to a different partition.
Using Microsoft Windows XP, you can now define the visual style or appearance of
controls and windows from simple colors to textures and shapes. You can control
each defined part of a control as well as each part of the non-client (frame and
caption) area of a window. The user can then use the Appearance tab in the
Windows Control Panel to switch between the classic visual style and other available
styles.
A visual style is included with the Windows XP release. Using helper libraries and
application programming interfaces (APIs), you can incorporate the Windows XP
visual style into your application with few code changes. For more information, see
the Platform SDK documentation in the MSDN Library.
When you try to apply changes in the Msconfig.exe tool, Msconfig.exe may stop
responding (hang). However, an administrator may be able to complete the same
operation without any problems.
This problem can occur if you do not have sufficient permissions to make the change
in the Msconfig.exe tool. Msconfig.exe still tries to save the changes even if you do
not have the appropriate permissions, and then retries this process after it receives
an access denied error.
The Owner account may not be removed correctly when you run Setup on computers
that are running Windows XP Home Edition. The Owner account is displayed as
"Account Unknown" when you view profiles on the computer. Also, the Owner folder
is not removed because the profile is not removed. Note that other problems occur if
an Owner account is used or created during the remainder of setup or Out of Box
Experience (OOBE).
This problem occurs because the OOBE code does not delete the Owner account
during Setup.
Cannot Establish a Remote Assistance Connection
When you try to establish a Remote Assistance session, you may receive the
following error message, and you may be unable to start a Remote Assistance
session:
You have been disconnected from name computer. For more information, contact
name
Remote Assistance may not be able to connect and establish a session if either of the
following conditions exists:
You can get rid of the Windows XP error report messages if you don't want to send
another one in. Start the System Configuration Utility:
Your computer will now start without loading the error reporting service.
