I tried to remove some Windows components yesterday via 'add or remove
programs', but I get the following error message:

'Setup is unable to find information file: Setupqry.inf. Error code: OX2 at
line 0'.

This only seems to be happening since I installed XP SP3.

How do I rectify this, as I can't uninstall Windows components.

Many thanks,
Jules

I broke a lot, spilled a lot, cursed a lot, and tried a lot ..... and I
just want you to benefit from what I learned so I'll try to put it in this
thread.

Please feel free to interject what you've learned. The hope is that this
thread helps anyone who has an HP officejet d145 printer who wishes to
refill seemingly expired ink tanks and resurrect seemingly dead printheads.

I'll post pictures and describe the process and reference URLs on the

Had this before but can't remember how to get round it.
Trying to run SFC it looks for XP CD but can't find it. Tried original XP,
XP/SP1, XP/SP2, and XP/SP3 discs.
My optical drives are Y & Z and I remember previously changing something so
SFC will look for the disc in one of these rather than D.
Can someone please tell me how to do this.

I installed a Maxtor SATA 500 GB hard drive in my 7 year old computer, using
an IDE/SATA controller. Its running fine.

However, it runs quite a bit warmer (hotter) than my 80 GB IDE hard drive. I
cannot
touch it for more than 5 seconds, without letting go.

Is this high temp normal for a big hard drive? Is the temp of a drive
depending
on the size of the drive?

Thanks

Spy-bot, AVG Free, Ad-Aware. After returning home from a few days gone, I
tried to sign in to internet. I have Comcast.net broadband. I could not. When
this happened before and I solved it by uninstaling my SIS 900 Ethernet
adapter. By the way, there was exclaimation marks on both the SIS adapter and
the the "Packet scheduler miniport 4". Error message-"This devce is not
working propely because Windows cannot load the drivers for this device-[Code
31].

1. The SIS ethernet adapter does not reinstall and the Packet Scheduler
Miniport 4 still has an exclaimation mark on it.
2. No problem, I'll put in my XP disk to maybe repair/update driver but then
I found out that he CD Rom will not read it. I checked device manager and it
says both CD Roms are working correctly. All devices are working correctly
according to device manager. My e: drive CDRom will read my ATI utilities
disk but no other disk at all! My d:will not read anything.
3. Well, somehow in all this, something happened to remove everything in the
Network Connections folder in the control panel!
4. Could I have accedentaly clicked "deny" on Spy-Bot when it came up?

How do I correct these problems. Since I cannot search my XP disk for
drivers or boot to CD, I'm stuck. I do have 6 boot floppies I made. Will
these help?
MSCONFIG start up - Normal Startup-Load all drivers etc. Ran Norton,
Spy-bot, AVG Free, Ad-Aware. No virus.
How do I repair XP Pro? I'm using my laptop to post.

with hopes it had a fix, but the names did not revert back.

Any ideas to the cause? And what would be the resolution, beside renaming
each icon back to the original name?

Thanks.
