XP3 / USB Compatibility - VIA chipset
Reply:
Evening Quark
A few questions
1 Which chipset driver version are you using when this happens?
2 Is it a .inf? and the latest available one from Shuttle?
3Check the following
Click on start, run enter the letters "services.msc"
are the following services running?
a) WMI driver service instrumentation at least set to manual?
b)Windows installer started and automatic?
c)Logical disk manager manual or automatic?
d)Logical Disk Manager adminstrative service?
e)RPC. not the locator one. But this one has alot of dependcies. If it is running or at least manual you are ok
AA) Clicking on start, accessories then sytem tool and system information are there any conflicts with the usb controller and something else?
4) Do you have a hub connected with out power?
a)What type of devices are connected when this failed? There is a KB articale about this when an unpowered hub is used. And over loads the Usb connection to the computer.
b) Does re-installing the usb.inf from the :windir%\inf folder work?
This is searching for the usb.in and right clicking the usb.inf and clicking on install.
What errors are on the event log? System?
Any errors in Setuperr in the %windir%\system32 folder?
I think this covers almost every thing except if you at least do alittle research and some log enteries may help us firgure this out with out having to connect remotely.
Cheers

At this stage, there is no merit in continuing with SP3 RC2, and when you try again, you should use the final released version.
If I were in this position, I would try installing the latest VIA chipset drivers, direct from VIA.
Also, try checking C:\windows\svcpack.log to see whether the installation of any XP USB drivers was skipped because they were thought to be "OEM" drivers.

Hi rdhw,
The December 2007 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems listed here is wrong!
Plain and simple!! I've tried to get microsoft to remove this hotfix from this listing to no prevail. What concerns me is that folks slipstreaming sp3 into xp or reinstall xp sp3 with out this update(xp sp2) already on their computers are going to get a very big surprise when october rolls around for daylight savings time! Also, folks who have time zone changes in their countries or regions are going to find out that their time zones are incorrect the hard way.
A lot of people are going to be furious with microsoft.
I've slipstreamed this update into xp sp3 so it will always be there in the future. I wonder what other surprises I'm going to find out when it comes to a ledged hotfixes included in sp3? I would not trust this hot fix being on my system unless it was slip steamed into xp sp3 final (build 5512)! You may want to use the Time Zone Editor from Microsoft to check your time zones
and Daylight Savings Time.
Microsoft needs to fix this hot fix list!!
Take Care,

No, it is quite correct. This update is listed as an update to SP3 (as well as SP2), and thus it is listed in my post as relevant to SP3. My post is not a list of hotfixes included in SP3, it is a list of KB articles that provide solutions for SP3 problems.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Hi rdhw,
Maybe I don't understand the official hotfix list for sp3 from microsoft. When we were beta testing service pack 3, we were
told that the new daylight standard time would not be part of service pack 3 final! I thought this was very strange because
this hotfix was such of a important one for everyone. After reading the official hotfix list from microsoft website, I decided to
install the retail intergrated xp sp3 from microsoft. I wiped the hard drive by f disking it so nothing was left on the hard drive.
I installed windows xp sp3 from scatch. What I found out later was the daylight savings time was the old daylight savings
time installed! Did I miss something with microsofts hot fix list. The windows xp sp3 was the intergrated version from
Microsoft! Microsft made this version!!! Because I noticed that the daylight savings time was not in the microsoft version
of windows xp with sp3, I decided to slipstream this hotfix into xp sp3. Than, I wiped the hard drive and re installed
the operating system. Did I read the hot fix list wrong? Please let me know!
Please let me know what I read wrong about sp3 hot fix list. It looks as though you have looked at the same one as I did
from Micrososft website for sp3! What did I read wrong or interpret wrong?
Again, Please let me know.

I make no statement one way or another about the Hotfix list for SP3, and I can't really help you with that. All I know is that the "December 2007 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems" KB942763 for Windows XP was silently re-released on April 21st, incorporating update files for both SP2 and SP3. The version string for the SP3 version of tzchange.exe is "5.1.2600.5570 (xpsp_sp3_gdr.080327-1253)", and you are up to date if you have this version. The KB942763 article text has not caught up with these new file dates and versions.
This means that KB942763 is now a fully-fledged post-SP3 hotfix - but it is not yet being offered by Windows Update.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Hi rdhw,
Thank You so much for clarifying this hot fix. KB94273 daylight savings time is a post sp3 fix! And, yes I know that Microsoft was going to release a post sp3 hot fix because they told us sp3 beta testers they would release it. I just hope folks know
this is a post sp3 hot fix. The hot fix list from Microsoft is deceptive:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946480
The statement from Microsoft states:
"Fix list
The following fix list includes only the updates that were added in Windows XP SP3. For more information about the updates that are included in previous Windows XP service packs, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:........"What Microsoft actual did was made this hotfix KB94273 able to install in SP3! SP3 doesn't actually update the time zones
and daylight savings time! This is where it is deceptive! Now look at their statement above.
Microsoft needs to clarify this to everyone!
Again, Thank You your help - rdhw

Problem in SP3 is driver incompatability
XP3 installed itself in during an auto update by windows update, had to have been installed that way because I did not do it manually; the next morning XP began to act very erratic Zone Alarm Suite quit working saying my subscription had expired and I was no longer able to use IE7; I had internet access for email however with IE7 it would load but I could not access any sites.
I uninstalled ZA which was not a big deal as ZA has become, since bought out by whoever it was who bought them, being not as stable, a system resource hog and quite a bloated piece of software. I installed Comodo and a couple other firewalls and other virus software like Avast and no matter what I did the same thing happened. Please note that I wasn't even aware at that pont that SP3 had been installed, the end result of all of this is the system going into a loop rebooting itself repeatedly and I couldn't even get into safe mode to try system restore.
I finally ended up doing a reformat and reinstall of XP which believe me I did not want to do because reinstallng everything would take days but I had no other choice. I did the reinstall and everything seemed to be working fine so I started installng software testing my connection after each install. I reached a comfort point to where I stopped checking the connection after each install and eventually the system started doing the same thing but at least it did not go into a re-boot loop as before.
I threw my hands up in the air and did another reinstall and this time I checked my internet connection and web access through IE7 after each software and driver install and discovered that after installing drivers for my Logitech Qucik Cam Communicate I no longer had internet access through IE7, everything else on the system needing internet access worked fine, just not IE7.
I uninstalled the Logitech software and driver and now the system is working normally, actually better than before. My take on the SP3 issue is that there is an incompatablity in SP3 with some drivers; the Logitech drivers and software I installed were the most recent from Logitech's website so it wasn't an old driver issue.
This is really a problem for me as I video conference with my office in Europe several times a week and short of buying a new web-cam that may still have the same driver problem I am screwed as far as video conferencing goes. I am going to contact Logitech about this but since this is a holdiay weekend they won't be available until Tuesday.. Oh well, no video conferencing for me.
Keyboard restrictions.....
Great product - It's exactly what I've been looking for - just have one questions or suggestion. How about a way
to disable "Ctrl, Alt, Del" or make it password protected. We have a kiosk in our museum that just plays videos
and allows for visitor comments - I wrote the program in VB. I'd love a way to completely disable the Windows
key and "Ctrl Alt Del"
Reply:
Thank you for your suggestions. Currently, there is no such settings in SteadyState and I will forward the thread to our product team and see if the function can be added in the future version. Thank you.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Just curious
------------------------------------
Reply:
In our case it wouldn't be an issue. The computer for the kiosk is hidden in a locked base. If Ctrl Alt Del was password
protected it would a better option than disabling it completely. I'm really hoping they add this as an option - I could have
used it numerous times in the last year!

SCE install will never fail if you follow this procedure
hi guess what guys i found solution to this error ... heres what you do..
if you have any previous install of sql backup and remove start freshinstall of sql or even upgrade will do too.
1.install SQL2005 standard you purchased with SCE2007
2.Install SQL2005 SP1
3.Install SQL2005 SP2
4.open IIS remove any SSL port in default website properties and start default website.
5.open browser http://<server name>/reportserver it must show something
6.If it shows up then begin installation of SCE2007
7.it will detect local sql instance selece and will also not give this error..
if you have not purchase sql still start default web site.. this will help sce coniguring report service..
enjoy guys...

My experience deploying Exchange 2007 sp1 on Windows 2008 server
Hi all,
This is a brief description of a 15-hours deployment project.
- A single-server site, AD running under Windows 2000 sp4, no exchange previously installed.
- One new HP ML 370 G5 Windows 2008 server with exchange 2007 sp1.
- Tried upgrading the 2000 DC server to 2008; failed (I know...major lack of preparation here)
- Windows 2000 server is not ACPI
- Tried 6 times to put 2000 server ACPI (BSOD one after the other)
- Took 3 tries to upgrade 2000 server to 2003 standard R2 (still not ACPI)
- Raised forest-functionnal level
- Joined Windows 2008 to Domain as standalone server
- Forestprep and Domainprep on Windows 2008 before starting installtion of Exchange 2007
- Ran numerous commands to upgrade the schema
- Setup failed: need to install IIS (complete)
- Setup took 30 mins and was a success.
Basically my first idea was to upgrade my Windows 2000 server to Windows 2008, since my exchange 2007 is running on a Windows 2008. I can't emphasize enough on the importance of having a fully-fonctionnal backup because I had to re-install my system partition on my Windows 2000 server almost 5 times during the process because I just couldn't fix my ACPI problem (that's another...scary story). Once I got my 2000 server to 2003, I was able to install my exchange 2007 on my standalone 2008 server.
Monday I'll be spending a lot of time configuring and "discovering" exchange 2007. I have experience managing 5.5, 2000, 2003 exchange..but at first glance...the GUI is quite different. I'm glad my customer didn't have a server running a previous version of exchange, they still use pop3 accounts from their ISP provider. I will gradually connect users to the exchange server and configure pop3 connectors.
So if you ask me: deploying exchange 2007 took longer than what I expected, mostly because of the windows 2000 server I had to upgrade. But so far, my 2003 std r2 DC runs fine and my 2008 standalone with exchange 2007 sp1 looks pretty neat. I just wished the upgrade path would have been easier.

Could not login at Welcome screen after resume
I'm glad to be off of SP3...I unwittingly installed as part of automatic update and this week has been a disaster. I could login at start up but on resume after screen saver it would deny me access using the same password and I'd have to reboot. Also, I'm an admin on this machine and I lost access to SQL Server that I have running locally. Tried to reinstall SQL Server before I knew it was an SP3 issue and reinstall failed - bad security.dll file. Finally, I lost authorization to see http:\\localhost... anyway, I just uninstalled and everything is good again.
Hyper-V and DHCP....Careful!
Just thought I would leave this here so if anyone else has the same issue. I was working on Hyper-V installed on a Server 08 (Host) remotely using Windows remote desktop connection. I installed on the guest OS of Hyper - V Win2K3 and installed a DHCP Server to play with in my virtual environment. I had an internal connection setup between the other guest OS as well that were all in a domain together. The next day, I had problems logging into the Host (Win2K8). Turns out, the internal connection was wreaking havoc with logins, and trying to pull an IP from the guest OS, which was running. The fix: Use a private network connection with Hyper-V (I had internal so I could try and pull updates; never got to see if it would work though) to connect the guest OS's together. Very strange.....hope this helps!
Question: I've never played with virtual environments so, does this happen with Virtual Server 05?
Reply:
This would happen to any virtual environment when the Host is using DHCP.
All that you did was create a rogue DHCP server on a virtual network. You Hyper-V host was configured to use DHCP and this 'rogue' DHCP server VM was answering first, so it was winning when your Hyper-V server was renewing is DHCP lease.
This is not the fault of Hyper-V. This is the behavior of DHCP and is a complication to a machine being able to 'see' more than one DHCP server at a time.
You resolved the situation properly for your configuration.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Just as a general caveat... and I'm sort of glad Hyper-V does have containment rules (of a fashion) when you bind NIC's, try to ensure that you operate on a per NIC per subnet per broadcast domain basis... yes there are VLAN's there for you to use but it's very easy to abuse the networking options there on offer

Tips on Launching Webpage
Hi all...
would like to share a piece of info that i followed.
To have shortcut in start menu which launches a webpage(eg www.google.com) from sequenced app...
i created a .bat file eg "Launch.bat" and put this in that "start www.google.com"
Plcae this "Launch.bat" file in Q:\ and create shortcut for it with whatever icon using Application wizard.
When we launch this a cmd prompt opens and then the webpage is launched.
To supress the cmd i used a jscript as follows..
var WindowStyle_Hidden = 0
var objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
var result = objShell.Run("cmd.exe /c Launch.bat", WindowStyle_Hidden)
save this .js(eg Launch.js) file, and place both of these Launch.bat and Launch.js in same folder in Q:\
and point the shortcut to "Launch.js" with proper icon....the webpage launches without the cmd prompt.
happy Sequencing!
Reply:
Just create a new text file, rename it to a .url extension, put it where you want your shortcut to end up and write the following in it:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://google.com

These forums should NOT be the Default place one ends up at
It might look great but there is less than 0 content here.
Before this gets close to being the default you need to have al least some of the forums even if you abandon the content from the old site.
I am more than a little frustrated by what appears to me to be an abandoning of the old forum content good and bad alike. I personally spent hours helping people on that old site and I think it is a slap in the face to have my help abandoned in a graveyard forum that "might be ported over some time this year" and to have my contribution set to 0.
If you are going to abandon the old content why not just close these forums altegther as it appears plain to me how much you value the contributions that members make.
Reply:
Appreciate the feedback. We're definitely not abandoning all the great content on the old platform. More details in an annoucement I just posted. It's going to take some time to get everything brought over (months), but we are moving to make it happen as quickly as possible.
What link to forums did you click that took you here?
Also, we're making sure all points migrate from the old platform. They'll come over on a per forum basis, but as the forums move all the points you've accumulated will come with you.

From the main MSDN site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx)
If you go down to the "Get Involved" section and click on "MSDN Forums" you come here.
If you are lucky, the rotating list of "Featurured forums" does point back to the old content. If you don't see your favorite forum featured or even worse you see the list of top contributors then there is no way to reach the old forums.
I understand that there is a catch 22 on what "MSDN Forums" should link to while the content is being migrated. It seems to me though as there is nothing but a test forum here that this is not (currently) the right place to point to.
As you migrate the content I think you really need two links. One to the old forum and one to the new.
I personal vote would be to replace the "Code Gallery" section with a section highlighting (and linking to) the old forums and a brief explaination of where you are in the migration process.

I kept getting errors and failed installs. Everytime I reviewed the updates to install, I was shown 0 MB files. I then uninstalled Service Pack 3 and the above updates were installed with no issues.
Has anyone else noticed this bug?
