    - Video Driver For Toshiba
      Yes, you are right, Malke. I can still login after 2 days using "driver"
      and "all". And, I could not replicate how I came to the reference to that
      2-day restriction. Strange! My apologies.

I have downloaded the Debugging Tools for Windows and the Symbols from Microsoft and installed them. I've tried using them to analyse the .DMP files but have no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    - SFC /scannow keeps prompting me for the Win Xp cd rom
      I've been trying to do the SFC /scannow & it keeps prompting
      me for the Win Xp cd rom. When i insert the Xp cd rom it keeps prompting
      me for the original Win Xp cd ( which is the original). And sometimes I get
      You have Inserted the wrong CD !
      I copied the i386 folder from the XP cd and saved it on
      C:\Document and settings\Unique\i38
      
      My question is: Is it ok to Point it to C:\Document and settings\Unique\i38
      instead of CD ROM ( because I think I have problem with that) and if so
      HOW CAN I Point it to C:\Document and settings\Unique\i386
      
      any help pleae so i could finish the Scan ?
      Thank
      Fred

    - CMD problem ?
      Hi,
      I have a problem , a few weeks ago I tried something I
      saw in a mag ,
      I opened the cmd prompt and gave the commands :
      scannow /sfc ,
      It then started to scan my system then told me that
      certain files needed to be copied and to insert
      my "windows XP proffesional CD SP2" , fair enough but I
      have "Windows XP Home SP1" installed ?
      
      The main problem is that yesterday I tried it and it
      tells me that the command is unrecognised so I typed in
      HELP and it gave a list of commands and SCANNOW isnt
      there ?
      
      I have also read in a mag that the command TASKLIST will
      bring up a list of tasks that are running , but this
      command isnt there either ?
      
      I have recently installed and ran a program
      called "XPLite" , does anyone know if this can disable
      these commands because it can switch off the file
      protection system so I dont know what else it can do ?
      
      Thanks.

    - Can't access applications over network (program files) after Home to Pro upgrade
      Try adding the user account to the "Administrators" group
      
      Legacy programs have problems with XP permissions

      Background:
      1. Two computers on LAN, workgroup. Works fine. Both use XP Home (OEM)
      2. My PC, the satelite (I guess, on peer to peer the other one has the data files), crashes and I buy an IBM laptop to replace it. The laptop comes with XP Pro. The network continues to work fine
      3. I upgrade the main PC (where all the data files are located) from Home to Pro
      4. I cannot access two important programs anymore over the network--an accounting program and a case management program. I can access the wordprocessing files on the main PC, and I can print to the printer attached to the main PC
      5. I called the accounting software company, where I pay for support on an annual basis, and the guy said hire somebody who knows computers--the support folks at the application company can't help me. He says this problem is common after upgrades from Home to Pro
      
      Can anyone lead me to a fix for this? I suspected it is related to security features, and to the fact that I cannot access the Program Files folder on the main pc from my laptop over the network, so I posted to the Security newsgroup, but no replies.
      
      I've spent hours on the Microsoft site and the support sites for the two applications in question, and I've studied an expensive book I bought, and I can't find anything to help
      
      I would appreciate any help. And if the answer really is hire somebody, I'll take your advice
      
      Thanks.

      If you installed it in the usual way as a dual boot, putting the XP in a
      separate partition, the initial boot is to the partition where the Win98
      is (C:) and it is vital that you do NOT, as suggested delete that whole
      partition. From the XP boot delete just the Windows 98 folder -
      C:\Windows - (the XP probably being D:\Windows) and make sure, if you
      delete other folders that you keep the boot files in the root of C:\,
      ntldr ntdetect.com and boot.ini, but delete C:\Bootsect.dos
      
      Now run msconfig.exe and on the Boot.ini page click 'Check all paths -
      it will find that the one to boot Win98 no longer exists and allow you
      to delete it.
      
      Note that it is *not* practical to change the XP partition to C: unless
      you start over with a clean install of it. Keep the C drive for data

      One point that makes it easier. When you get to the point where it
      offers a whole slew of things to select and check, *right* click any
      one, and use 'Select All' Then Next and it will remove them all
