My wife's system froze up this morning, so I did a hard reset on it. After that, all it does is gets to the XP logo screen and then reboots itself. Can I fix it without replacing any hardware?
----------
I put her hard drive in my machine (as a secondary drive). The first time I booted up, XP prompted me to run chkdsk on it, but I wanted to see if I could see the files without doing that. No luck, so I rebooted and ran chkdsk when prompted. When I finally got rebooted, lo and behold - I could see all of her files. While I had the disk in my machine, I backed up the drive. Out of curiosity, I stuck the drive back in her machine, and fired it up. Waddayakknow!? It booted, and she's up and running again! Crisis averted!

Will it boot successfully on a linux live CD?

good luck with that.
it is always good to have a spare machine around, to keep in touch with the www and such.

Having more than one is good, having more than required just adds to the trouble they cause every so often.
[ADDED] well done; being able to easily move and add a disk from one machine to another is one of the big advantages of a desktop machine over a laptop... [/ADDED]

Try in Safe Mode and check the problem inside XP.
|
|

You're making the assumption that he can even get to the prompt to start in safe mode. Usually, with a problem like this, you don't get that far.

who knows assembly?!!
I want to implement some command of dos such as shutdown,Dir copycon with assembley!!
who knows how can i do this?!!
any help would be useful
thanks

Why would you want to do that?
If you want to experiment with some assembly, the easier way is to create an application using a high-level language (say C) and implement one function (or part of a function) with assembly,
e.g. using the asm keyword you can embed assembly code right in C code.
One potentially useful exercise would be to get the CPU capabilities exposed by the CPUID instruction.

Tricky, you could try this:
Your will have to load a filter driver on your device and at one of the start IRPs such as IRP_MJ_STARTDEVICE block the IRP and wait for the app to supply the uname pwd. The app would do this via a dedicated device object created by the filter driver.
On a sucessfull entry the filter completes the IPR as success. On fail it completes it as failure and the system will unload the device stack.
It is possible that the OS wil timeout the IRP though, inwhich case you could try another, or wait for the device to start and then block all read/write/URB/IOCTL IRPs untill you get a valid uname-pwd. If you dont you could call an invalidate bus relations and fail the start device thereafter.

If there was no reason to hang, then it wouldn't.
XP has an aversion to VB "development. That's why Microsoft released Vista - it's much more tolerant of VB.

I done but hanging percent is reduced but still problem is there. and also my anti-virus also changed and I checked.

My guess is that you have a program installed that runs some kind of check (probably on the interwebs) a while after the computer is started. If this is badly programmed you might get a lockup.
If this is the case, one solution is to uninstall all unnecessary programs one by one until the problem disappears.
Processexplorer and Autoruns are two great programs from Sysinternals that might be of great use when you're troubleshooting this kind of problems.

I'm trying to get a smart card reader to work on terminal server 2000 but it doesn't seem to find it.
I installed the drivers.
checked if the needed dll's are there and they are
The services are running.
Info:
Windows 2000 terminal server service pack 4
Smartcard reader = USB
I log on to the server using RDP wich has the option set to transfer smart card readers to the server.
Anyone tried this before or knows if it's even possible?
I'v been searching the internet for anything but not finding much and what I do find just tells me that it should work.

I would recommend downloading WinObj by Mark Russinovich[^] and check if the USB device has the proper security permissions and is in the Global namespace[^]. There have been several USB device vendors that have failed to support Terminal server due to implementation faults.
