Subject: Re: Re: Windows XP Installation
Try cleaning your CD.
Was the partition formatted before installation?
Are you sure the CD is legal? Are you sure the Windows XP version that you
have is not the 64-bit version?
If it is a retail version, I do believe you could get free tech support
from MS.
Are you doing a clean-install as opposed to upgrading from a previous
Windows version?
If you have another CD drive installed in the computer where you are
installing Windows XP or a DVD drive, try using it instead of the CD drive
you were using.
Disable the network adapter in the bios before you install.

Hi all, I am having a very frustrating time trying to install Windows XP
Pro on my new HDD. Everything initially seems fine as I boot from the
original XP Pro CD, select the new HDD to install onto and then format the
drive. Once this is completed the setup files are copied across and then
the system lets me know that it is about to reboot.
This is where it seems to be going wrong!! When it reboots it simply boots
from the CD again and goes back through the initial setup phase again
rather than progressing from the stage it was at when it rebooted. What am
I doing wrong!! This is exactly how I have done it in the past but this
time it is giving me a right old headache!!
Before rebooting it tells me to remove any disc from Drive A: As I don't
have any disc in there I don't do anything. I thought that maybe I should
remove the CD so it doesn't boot from there any longer but then the system
won't start up properly and just keeps restarting at the point where it
normally looks for the CD.
Am I losing it... any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Subject: USB, Upgrading of
The Dell PC, running WinXP Pro, is had USB 1.1. I purchased and installed a
USB 2.0 PCI card and installed the required driver(s). My computer promptly
recognized this and notified me that the five new ports (one internal &=
four
external) were ready for use.
I plugged in the newly acquired USB External Hard Drive.
Unfortunately, when I turn it on, I get the same message I used to get,
i.e., "You have a high speed device connected to a low speed port." The
message now goes on to tell me to unplug from the current USB port and
connect to any of the five listed high speed ports. I've tried all four of
my external ports and get the same message.
It seems I have 2.0 ports but my computer continues to operate from the old
1.1 ports. I thought maybe if I disabled the old host controller(s), it
might finally use the new host controller. All I managed to do was lose any
use of my USB connected mouse until I figured out how to undo my error.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Subject: Re: USB, Upgrading of
Gerald, welcome to the world of conflicting standards. :) I feel your pain.
Are there any USB 1.1 device(s) connected to any of the new USB 2 ports?
Your computer will only run as fast as the slowest link in the chain.
Do you have any ! marks showing in device manager under USB devices?
Is XP's SP1 or SP2 installed? USB2 support for XP was enabled in SP1,SP1a.
That being said, there is no way that XP itself is going to update USB 1.1
to 2 unless the PCI to
USB Host Controller itself is updated to the use the new drivers. The
easiest way to do this is to remove the host controller from device
manager, and let XP redetect them on the next startup.
Is the USB port or ports you are attempting to use on the front panel of
your computer case? The reason I ask is that I had a motherboard that
fully supported USB 2 that came with a "cbox" that installs in a floppy bay
and has four USB 2 ports on it. Despite the board
supporting USB 2 (and SP 1 being installed), using the front-mounted ports
with a high speed USB device always resulted in the same message that
you've received.
Have you removed the USB Host Controllers from Device Manager, and let XP
redetect with the new drivers? The correct controllers will say Enhanced,
not Standard.
Read the documentation that came with your USB 2 controller card. The
Windows Catalog <http://shorterlink.com/?SNLZRH> lists several USB 2.0
controller cards that are compatible with Windows XP. Check the WC for
compatibility of your device to WXP. Make sure that your new hardware is
plugged in and operating (at least at low speed). If Windows XP recognizes
your USB 2.0 hardware, it will offer you the chance to download the new USB
2.0 drivers. You can also manually download the driver by following the
steps in Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Support in Windows XP
<http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=3Dkb;en-us;312370>.
The Microsoft USB 2.0 driver may not be listed as an available update if
third-party USB 2.0 drivers are installed on your computer. You may have to
remove the third-party USB 2.0 drivers, and then install the Microsoft USB
2.0 driver from the Windows Update Web site. Most of the drivers/software
that comes with any hardware are routinely 'kicked-out' by XP in Device
Manager.. It appears USB2 is supported by Microsoft with Microsoft-only
drivers. So the value of trying to install anything that came with any of
the USB2 hardware you bought is questionable. This is as it should be I
think. I found out over time that XP does a hell of a lot better if you
leave a lot of 3rd party software OFF the system. Creative Soundblaster in
particular, comes to mind. My soundcard works just fine without all the
'bloatware' Creative thinks I should install. I have a Compact Flash card
reader/writer that I use for storage and to
transfer stuff to other machines. I also use a USB2 'thumb drive' once in a
while. I have an external USB2 40gig hard drive (in addition to my IDE
internal) I use for storage etc. The enclosure that holds it and the bridge
and cable inside came with USB2 stuff that simply were not allowed by XP(?)=
The USB 2.0 drivers for Windows XP that are on Windows Update today only
recognize devices using the NEC USB 2.0 EHCI controller chipset. The
industry specification for Hi-Speed USB is called the Enhanced Host
Controller Interface (EHCI ). That doesn't mean you have to buy an
NEC-brand controller. The NEC chipset is fairly ubiquitous in the USB 2.0
world. That chipset is also the first one to be certified by the
independent USB 2.0 testing body. Although the USB 2.0 drivers currently
available on Windows Update only support the NEC controller, there should
be an update soon that supports all EHCI-compliant controllers.
If you've made sure that everything on your computer is USB 2.0-compliant,
and you're still getting low-speed results, you may not have the right
drivers. Symptoms in Windows XP can include error messages such as "The
Generic USB Hub is a HI-SPEED USB device and will function at reduced speed
when plugged into a non-HI-SPEED port," or "A HI-SPEED USB device is
plugged into a non-HI-SPEED USB hub." You may also see your high-speed
controller card tagged with a yellow exclamation icon in Device Manager.
The problem is that although you have a Hi-Speed hub or controller, Windows
XP doesn't recognize it. (See the Knowledge Base article, Universal Serial
Bus 2.0 Support in Windows XP
<http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=3Dkb;en-us;312370> for more detailed
information).
Lastly, to complicate this USB speed issue, there are low-speed USB 2
devices and high-speed ones. :) Need to take aspirin. I think I have a
computer headache :)

Thanks for that info. I just remember when XPSp2 came out how it broke

Anyway I will go ahead and reinstall it soon.

used by millions of fans of the software YEARS AFTER THE PROGRAMMER
ABANDONED IT. It has developed a great following because of what the

You will know when you have the drivers installed because when you go to

Are you using a USB hub? There is a difference between USB2.0-

There is also "high speed" versus "full speed" in USB v2. As best I

Subject: Lavalys Everest New Version.
Hi All,
Just wanted everyone that uses this program to know that the program
has been updated to a new version 2.0.
The main reason I put this post here is I wanted to let everyone
know that in this version some of the original features are gone.
The features are available if you purchase the version they now call
Ultimate Edition. So if you have version 1.51 and are not in any
need to get information for a piece of hardware that is not on the
list I would recommend in this case sticking with 1.51. If you need
an updated version they are offering a tempoary discount.
The items missing in 2.0 are as follows.
Operating System
Server
Software
Config
To get the Ulitmate Edition they now want 39.00. They are giving a
discount to 29.25 upto June 17th.

Hi All,
Just wanted everyone that uses this program to know that the program has
been updated to a new version 2.0.
The main reason I put this post here is I wanted to let everyone know that
in this version some of the original features are gone.
The features are available if you purchase the version they now call
Ultimate Edition. So if you have version 1.51 and are not in any need to
get information for a piece of hardware that is not on the list I would
recommend in this case sticking with 1.51. If you need an updated version
they are offering a tempoary discount.
The items missing in 2.0 are as follows.
Operating System
Server
Software
Config
To get the Ulitmate Edition they now want 39.00. They are giving a discount
to 29.25 upto June 17th.

Hey foofaraw!
Am trying the 1.4 RC2b first. It is downloading now. I will let you know if=
it can install within the hour.
In case anyone wondered why my cumputer would not start-up anymore and I
have to do all this crap and lost lots of great documents in the process.
Note: Put Important stuff on Disk before doing anything that might be
drastic!
I had been using "Easy Cleaner by toniarts" for quite a long time now and
it
always did a great job of getting rid of unnessasary junk. So , seeing that=
it worked so well with that, with no problems, I scanned for duplicates and=
like a dummy, I deleted all of them. There was a ton of them in there btw=
:(
Note: I was warned that may be a bad idea from sean, I think.
When I tried to restart, a prompt came up that my <Windows Root> .dll
or.dal, something like that, was missing and needed to be installed.
I tried to do a repair with my windows xp disk but it gave a prompt that I
needed my administrator password. Hmmmm, I didn't remember setting up an
administrator password, "Not Ever". So, I tried every password I could
think
of that I have ever used. This was a pain in the you know where since,
every
3 times you fail you would have to get back to that screen again.
Needless to say, I didn't succeed. I couldn't write you guys cause I only
have this one computer and could not start it let alone connect.
My only option short of spending money I don't have, was to do a quick
restore with the disk that came with my pc which was Windows ME. Who uses
ME
anymore?
Then there was another problem I discovered when I installed XP and tried
to
activate it, grrrrr.
My activation code was no longer any good and I had to make a special phone=
call to recieve a whopping "46" number code to enter to activate my xp
registration!
Question for foof?
I know this will sound nuts, but here goes:
Do you use lots of different e-mail names in our groups? I get confused
because I think you are 3 or 4 different people from what information these=
3 or 4 give and their responses. Am I confused about who all you may be?=

Was thing about posting this there but was wondering weather to put
it in freeware of somewhere else that may get more as some may never
go there before updating something they already have.
I keep backup copies of all downloads I get. Sometimes I keep more
than one version. The only trouble with this is I am now testing all
my old downloads as time allows to see what may or may not work on
XP and making a spread sheet of my apps and if they work or not.

Subject: Re: Re: Windows XP Installation
Hello Hammer:
Are you sure you are not using an OEM or "restore" CD?
If you are using one of these (NOT a retail type CD),
it is tied to the configuration of the computer it was
supplied with. Changing components (new HDD + ?)
equates to a new/different computer. The OEM
installation CD will then not work.
I had a similar problem when I tried to reinstall
after I had added a slave HD. (No explanation was
offered) Had to temporarily remove the slave then
everything went fine. Of course, I was able to
reinstall the slave later.

You may have hit the target in your second paragraph. Both the keyboard and

Subject: Re: [MCH] USB, Upgrading of
Gerald, welcome to the world of conflicting standards. :) I feel your pain.
Are there any USB 1.1 device(s) connected to any of the new USB 2 ports?
Your computer will only run as fast as the slowest link in the chain.
Do you have any ! marks showing in device manager under USB devices?
Is XP's SP1 or SP2 installed? USB2 support for XP was enabled in SP1,SP1a.
That being said, there is no way that XP itself is going to update USB 1.1
to 2 unless the PCI to
USB Host Controller itself is updated to the use the new drivers. The
easiest way to do this is to remove the host controller from device=
manager,
and let XP redetect them on the next startup.
Is the USB port or ports you are attempting to use on the front panel of
your computer case? The reason I ask is that I had a motherboard that=
fully
supported USB 2 that came with a "cbox" that installs in a floppy bay and
has four USB 2 ports on it. Despite the board
supporting USB 2 (and SP 1 being installed), using the front-mounted ports
with a high speed USB device always resulted in the same message that=
you've
received.
Have you removed the USB Host Controllers from Device Manager, and let XP
redetect with the new drivers? The correct controllers will say Enhanced,
not Standard.
Read the documentation that came with your USB 2 controller card. The
Windows Catalog <http://shorterlink.com/?SNLZRH> lists several USB 2.0
controller cards that are compatible with Windows XP. Check the WC for
compatibility of your device to WXP. Make sure that your new hardware is
plugged in and operating (at least at low speed). If Windows XP recognizes
your USB 2.0 hardware, it will offer you the chance to download the new USB
2.0 drivers. You can also manually download the driver by following the
steps in Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Support in Windows XP
<http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=3Dkb;en-us;312370>.
The Microsoft USB 2.0 driver may not be listed as an available update if
third-party USB 2.0 drivers are installed on your computer. You may have to
remove the third-party USB 2.0 drivers, and then install the Microsoft USB
2.0 driver from the Windows Update Web site. Most of the drivers/software
that comes with any hardware are routinely 'kicked-out' by XP in Device
Manager.. It appears USB2 is supported by Microsoft with Microsoft-only
drivers. So the value of trying to install anything that came with any of
the USB2 hardware you bought is questionable. This is as it should be I
think. I found out over time that XP does a hell of a lot better if you
leave a lot of 3rd party software OFF the system. Creative Soundblaster in
particular, comes to mind. My soundcard works just fine without all the
'bloatware' Creative thinks I should install. I have a Compact Flash card
reader/writer that I use for storage and to
transfer stuff to other machines. I also use a USB2 'thumb drive' once in a
while. I have an external USB2 40gig hard drive (in addition to my IDE
internal) I use for storage etc. The enclosure that holds it and the bridge
and cable inside came with USB2 stuff that simply were not allowed by XP(?)=
The USB 2.0 drivers for Windows XP that are on Windows Update today only
recognize devices using the NEC USB 2.0 EHCI controller chipset. The
industry specification for Hi-Speed USB is called the Enhanced Host
Controller Interface (EHCI ). That doesn't mean you have to buy an=
NEC-brand
controller. The NEC chipset is fairly ubiquitous in the USB 2.0 world. That
chipset is also the first one to be certified by the independent USB 2.0
testing body. Although the USB 2.0 drivers currently available on Windows
Update only support the NEC controller, there should be an update soon that
supports all EHCI-compliant controllers.
If you've made sure that everything on your computer is USB 2.0-compliant,
and you're still getting low-speed results, you may not have the right
drivers. Symptoms in Windows XP can include error messages such as "The
Generic USB Hub is a HI-SPEED USB device and will function at reduced speed
when plugged into a non-HI-SPEED port," or "A HI-SPEED USB device is=
plugged
into a non-HI-SPEED USB hub." You may also see your high-speed controller
card tagged with a yellow exclamation icon in Device Manager. The problem=
is
that although you have a Hi-Speed hub or controller, Windows XP doesn't
recognize it. (See the Knowledge Base article, Universal Serial Bus 2.0
Support in Windows XP=
<http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=3Dkb;en-us;312370>
for more detailed information).
Lastly, to complicate this USB speed issue, there are low-speed USB 2
devices and high-speed ones. :) Need to take aspirin. I think I have a
computer headache :)

external) were ready for use.
I plugged in the newly acquired USB External Hard Drive.
Unfortunately, when I turn it on, I get the same message I used to get,
i.e., "You have a high speed device connected to a low speed port." The
message now goes on to tell me to unplug from the current USB port and
connect to any of the five listed high speed ports. I've tried all four of
my external ports and get the same message.
It seems I have 2.0 ports but my computer continues to operate from the old
1.1 ports. I thought maybe if I disabled the old host controller(s), it
might finally use the new host controller. All I managed to do was lose any
use of my USB connected mouse until I figured out how to undo my error.

Am trying the 1.4 RC2b first. It is downloading now. I will let you know if

[Good for you, Sheila! I have been using 1.4 RC3b for a few weeks now
without any probs.]
Note: Put Important stuff on Disk before doing anything that might be
drastic!
[Good idea! :) Better still, avoid the drastic measures until you have
determined you have no other choice except bite the bullet and death is not
an option]
I had been using "Easy Cleaner by toniarts" for quite a long time now and
it always did a great job of getting rid of unnessasary junk. So , seeing
that it worked so well with that, with no problems, I scanned for
duplicates and like a dummy, I deleted all of them. There was a ton of them
in there btw :(
[I would rather that you first quarantine before deleting by exporting each
keys that you delete to a designated folder & name them so in case you need
to restore them, all you have to do is double click them. Do the same to
registry keys whose values or settings you modify. If you added any
registry keys, write their full registry path on a pocket notebook (a
suggested must-have tool for all PC users to write all PC-related notes
on). If you have to delete them, just look in your pocket notebook and
follow the path then delete away.]
Note: I was warned that may be a bad idea from sean, I think.
[I would echo that caution. XP uses a lot of duplicate files or
similarly-named files. Hence this practice probably stretches all the way
back to the Registry. That is by design. To avoid conflicts and speed up
performance, these duplicates were created. There are also programs that
create files that are similarly named to files used by Windows. This is
allowed so software can use their own version of files that work best with
the software. Therefore, similarly named files do not mean they are really
duplicates. Also deleting files from locations where Windows have pointers
to will confuse the system.]
When I tried to restart, a prompt came up that my <Windows Root> .dll
or.dal, something like that, was missing and needed to be installed. I
tried to do a repair with my windows xp disk but it gave a prompt that I
needed my administrator password. Hmmmm, I didn't remember setting up an
administrator password, "Not Ever". So, I tried every password I could
think of that I have ever used.
[I suppose you did not try just hitting Enter when prompted for the
password? Did you try hitting CTRL+ALT+Delete TWICE and then hitting Enter
assuming your login name is already written on the second screen that
appears after you hit the 3-finger salute? To avoid this problem in the
future, create yourself a Reset Password disk. XP has this feature.]
Then there was another problem I discovered when I installed XP and tried
to activate it, grrrrr. My activation code was no longer any good and I had
to make a special phone call to recieve a whopping "46" number code to
enter to activate my xp registration!
[Before reinstalling Windows XP, back up two files: wpa.dbl and wpa.bak.
These are your Windows XP activation files. Go to your c:\WINDOWS\System32\
and find a file called "wpa.dbl" and "wpa.bak" back those files up to a
floppy, CD or wherever you want to put them on. When you want to restore
these files go into safe mode and put them into your windows\system32
directory. When you reboot you should be activated without actually going
through MS :)]
Question for foof?
I know this will sound nuts, but here goes:
Do you use lots of different e-mail names in our groups? I get confused
because I think you are 3 or 4 different people from what information these
3 or 4 give and their responses. Am I confused about who all you may be?=
lol
[That depends on what group you are referring to. I might have used a
different name in some other groups but here, when I respond using email, I
am always foofaraw_etcetera, but when I use the group's website to respond
to a posting, Yahoo changes my nick to Karsie. In savemybutt.com I use
something else. So I don't know what you are talking about me using
different names. LOL!!! Me? Never! hehehe....]

Subject: Re: How do I migration from Windows 2000 to Windows XP?
You've got interesting questions here-- you're migrating from Win2k
Server or Pro? XP Pro is a direct upgrade from 2000 Pro, but for
Server, I'm pretty sure that requires a reload of the OS. It's
generally a good idea to reload the OS when doing an upgrade, but it
sounds like this computer might be doing server duty?
Are you sure you want XP and not some flavor of Server 2003?
The trick is this: SCSI drives are becoming exceedingly rare in
desktops (the XP OS in this case) and SCSI RAID is even more rare.
Developers will be supporting 2000 Server and Server 2k3 first, and
XP only as an afterthought. If you're moving from one RAID
controller to another RAID controller, you're looking at backing up
and restoring all of your data *anyway* so a reload of the OS is
probably just one more step.
The MS Server OSes can do RAID 5 in Software, but that's generally
not the best route. I'd suspect that board has Server 2k3 drivers
available.
When running XP and RAID, people are generally talking about
IDE/SATA RAID controllers and more often than not only RAID level 1
(and RAID/AID level 0.)

Subject: AVG Installation information
I recently decided to install and use AVG Free. I installed a version
that I already had in my "Downloads" Folder. In trying to resolve a
problem on my PC I used System Restore the same day. Naturally it
uninstalled the newly installed AVG. I went back and attempted to
reinstall AVG but it would never complete the installation. I tried
D/Ling and installing a newer version with the same results. After
much research I discovered that AVG will not install until every
remnant of AVG is removed from your HDD. After doing a search and
removing all AVG associated files it installed perfectly. Bobby
