    More to the point, it isn’t included in xp.

    This place seems to be offering a download, scroll down to “F” (I can’t vouch for it’s integrity).

    http://www.petri.co.il/download_fre…

    Copy “forfiles.exe” to:

    %systemroot%\system32\forfiles.exe
    

    and it should work.

    Where %systemroot% is a system variable normally pointing to “c:\windows”.

    Edit:

    Forgot to mention that although it mentions Win2000 it should work just fine on xp. Win2000 is about as close as you can get to xp…

    profile doesn’t load until after logon. I believe this is a false trail since if at control-alt-delete you still haven’t logged in but that works when you do.

    Given what you describe I would suspect services, networking in particular, haven’t loaded yet before the logon attempts to take place.

    That autologon was meant for a local workstation logon not a domain logon when it first came out.

    I can’t think of a single thing to delay autologon. You might consider making a logon script cmd file that would be placed in Startup instead of using autologon. Something to the effect like this using visual basic
    @echo off
    wscript %0\..\NetLogon.vbs

    That should provide enough delay for the services to load to then successfully logon.

    Another tact to take would be to pare down to bare minimum what is loading on startup.

  3. I fixed this by re-compiling the VB script in .NET Framework 3.5. It must have been created in a previous version which was incompatible with our new WSUS servers.

    USB ports don’t just break, especially 3 of them on the same laptop. If they were defective, you should have contacted Acer a LONG time ago about it. I just did a quick Google search & it appears others have had the same problem. If you can’t do the repair yourself, I can only guess the charge from a shop would be close to the cost of a replacement laptop. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to contact Acer & complain.

  8. Thanks for your help everybody. Apparently you must connect the original Compaq keyboard to enter the BIOS. Though my other keyboard works on my old PC, including the F10 key, you need the Compaq keyboard for this. It worked as soon as I plugged it in and tried it. Much appreciated!

    Hey, you’re the one that started this thread & you’re the one that claimed to know all about single vs double sided. You also chose the name “Big E Custom PC” which sounds like it could be the name of a computer shop, so it would seem that you came here as an expert to set all of us straight.

    I gave you my answer which I believe to be correct:

    single sided = memory chips on one side of RAM module
    double sided = memory chips on both sides of RAM module

    There is no rocket science involved in trying to figure it out. The rest of the crap you went on about involves “ranking” & that is a completely different issue. I posted a link that explains what that is all about. The following was taken from your favorite site to plagiarize, Wikipedia…it describes what single & double sided RAM is & how the terms *may* cause confusion when it comes to ranking:

    “DIMMs are often referred to as “single-sided” or “double-sided” to describe whether the DRAM chips are located on one or both sides of the module’s printed circuit board (PCB). However, these terms may cause confusion, as the physical layout of the chips does not necessarily relate to how they are logically organized or accessed.”

    It goes on to say that: “JEDEC decided that the terms “dual-sided,” “double-sided,” or “dual-banked” were not correct when applied to registered DIMMs.”

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIMM#R…

    I’m sure you know what JEDEC is AND the difference between registered & un-registered DIMMs.
