Trying to install a program and they tell me to open device manager and update driver. When I click on device manager I get an error saying "windows cannot find mmc.exe". What do I need to do. Reloadind in not an option, I do not have the disk that did
not come with my system. Running Windows XP, Media Canter Edition, Version 2002, SP3. Any help would be great. I can get around but still a novice.

Windows XP Activation Window Does Not Start / Open
location:
microsoft.com - date:
November 10, 2009
I recently upgraded my computer (New motherboard, cpu, ram, etc. ). I tried switching my hard drive over from the old machine to the new one and running a repair installation of Windows XP Pro. Everything seems to work fine, but it tells me that I need
to activate windows and only have 3 days to do so. When I click on Activate windows (or run oobe/msoobe /a) from the Run window, the machine thinks for a second, but doesn't start the activation window. This is a non-OEM version of XP. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Marc

Movie Maker (Windows XP SP3) crashes everytime I open it
location:
microsoft.com - date:
March 6, 2010
I already have Windows XP SP3 installed and yet when I try to open Windows Movie Maker it would just crash right away. It would always show this:
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=j806zd&s=6
"Windows Movie Maker has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
I would always choose either "Don't Send" or "Send Error Report", but nothing has changed. It's been like this for a year now. It's very frustrating. I've already checked for updates and had some of them, that I think are necessary, already updated. I read
somewhere that Windows Movie Maker would still work in Windows XP SP3 , but I guess not in my computer. I really don't know what's happening. Please, I need help.

why does windows xp take so long to open my music folder?
location:
microsoft.com - date:
September 2, 2012
My music folder is on my external drive. It contains 22,000 mp3s on a 1.5 terrabyte unit, arranged in artist-named folders e.g. 1 folder marked 'Beatles' containing 24 albums, and so on. For some reason, Windows XP has great trouble opening the Music folder.
It just took 141 seconds, by which time I felt like throwing my laptop out the window, if you'll forgive the pun. It also does the same thing if I go into one of the artist folders then come back out to the main folder.

When I try to open the Add/Remove Programs tool in Windows XP, it does not open. The window appears briefly, but then it disappears and I do not receive an error message.
My system is current with latest anti virus scans clear.
Have I lost some registry entries?
Unfortunately System Restore has not helped.
Grateful for your advice.

My wife after down loading pictures used the "Safely remove hardware" on all my drives. Now none of my USB ports work. I've uninstalled them and restarted the computer, I've turn on or enabled everything to do with plug and play devices. Under device
manager all the USB ports are there and they are all working properly however nothing that I plug into them will work.
