How to set the password to protect the network, Windows XP Home Edition
Another PC can directly access my computer on the Windows network, so I want to set a password to protect my computer.
There are two basic methods to connect to a computer through a network.
The first is through Remote Desktop connection. This method requires that a user connect as if they were sitting in front of the computer. So simply assign a password for each user in the user Panel must control this access road. If I remember correctly, Remote Desktop connections cannot do XP Home computers, so this may not apply to you.
The second is through the sharing of files on the network. With XP Home (forced Simple File Sharing), each connection sharing file valid as long as the user "guest". So to control this access, you must assign a password for the Guest user.

I checked some of the solutions to this problem, including the execution of the 'netsh reset winstock' program that did not work. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.
Hello
It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool to see if you have corrupted files

Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

Impossible to install the new Windows XP Home edition from scratch on Tecra S3
With F6 in WXP install driver Toshiba raid (from USB floppy drive) properly installed first, partionating disc ok, continue to install Windows XP Home edition.
WXP wants then again Toshiba raid drivers, installing WXP because he's not reading USB floppy (undirected). Do I need the recovery CD that I don't have.Hi guys
I had a similar problem installing RAID on my old Qosmio.
I didn't use the restore CD but the simple Microsoft Windows Boot CD.
The problem was my incorrect installation procedure.After the installation of the driver the USB FDD drive RAID, the configuration of the installation works fine until I formatted the HARD drive or partition.
This has been bad! Don't format or delete the partition after installing the RAID driver!In addition, make sure you use the right set of RAID! These settings can be checked in the BIOS! My Qosmio user manual provides lots of information about RAID. Did you check your user manual which settings are required to install the OS of Win CD?
Do and good luck!

Use the original Windows XP Home Edition CD to reinstall
I lost my cd of windows xp home edition, Microsoft sent me another copy. Now that I moved I lost the copy, but I found my original. Now I have to fix my turn, is it safe to use my old copy. Or I have to format the tower all over again?
* original title - Microsoft has sent a copy of windows xp at home, now I lost that one, I found my original copy, I can still use it *.
Use 'The Original' with the original product key. For OEM versions, the product key sticker is one on the side of the tower case. Commercial versions have the key of product inside the box.
Insofar as you are using the CD, you must do a "repair installation", the CD must be at the same level service pack as what is installed on the tower.
