- Windows XP Update >> Windows XP Won't Update!!Hi,
I have a Windows XP machine which is attempting to get updates from a SUS
server. (Oh dear I hear you say.) I get the updates downloaded successfully
and they then begin to install. However, upon completion, I check the event
log only to find that the update in fact has not installed at all. I'm logged
in as Local Administrator so I should have full access.
However, if I then check the installation log of the updates which had
problems, it says: Failed To Enable SE_SECURITY_PRIVILEGE
Setup encountered an error: You do not have permission to update Windows XP.
?? Why don't I?? I am an administrator. I'm a bit lost on this one. I'm not
a huge fan of SUS but this is a bit daft!
Any idea's?
Your help would be gratefully appreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> Access denied on WorkstationThis is a long question. I hope you will take the time to read and help
In my simple 2 workstation, Windows XP HOME network, I am logged into BOTH machines with administrator priviledges, no passwords-no restrictions.
If I create a folder on workstation 1 over the network from workstation 2, then I cannot access that folder from workstation 1. My access is denied
I can access the folder only from the workstation from which I created the folder
Is there any way to overcome this
This is a problem because I have reinstalled "workstation 2" and now cannot access these folders at all. I really don't want to reformat the disk, but I need to access and then delete these folders in question
Booting into safe mode is no help.

Windows XP Network >> 2 computer LAN
In your setup you need to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), which is a
feature of W98SE and above. Such a setup requires that one computer be
"Host" and the other computer be "Client". Apparently you have a Network
Interface Card (NIC) installed in each computer, and one computer connected
to the other via the NICs with a Category 5 crossover cable. You also need a
second NIC in your Host computer in order to access the internet. It should
be connected to your modem. Be sure to enable ICS.

Not all network cards support crossover cables. Borrow a hub, switch or
router and connect the two through it with straight network cable. If the
"cable unplugged" message goes away then you won't be able to connect with a
crossover cable.

Are you sure that it's a crossover cable, not a straight cable? How
have you checked it?

A continuity tester can't determine whether a cable will work for
high-frequency Ethernet signals -- it can't tell whether the wire
pairing is right, and it only checks DC continuity.
The cabling info that you used is right. However, since both
computers say that the cable is unplugged, I'm sure that there's a
problem with the cable itself or with the computers' network adapters.

You're welcome. Thanks for reporting the solution. I've made my
share of mistakes in network wiring, so I understand.

- Windows XP Support >> Missing icons and menus ... ANNOYING. Help!!I normally don't post binaries or links to them as images but I have to show
pictures or else I might be misunderstood. This is a very strange and
annoying problem I hope I can fix SOON! But I need your help.

I have absolutely no idea how this happened, but my start menu no longer
displays icons next to any shortcuts or folder items. Then, my Quick Launch
toolbar has all the items there, but no icons and each item appears as a
very tiny button when moving the mouse over them. I also notice I cannot
switch my Folder Views to anything but Large Icons. If I select "List" from
the View menu, I simply still get Large Icons displayed. The menu bars in
Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer are there, but are blank. I can click
in certain places and bring the menus up but I can't see "File" "Edit"
"View" etc ... as if the fonts were "clear".
I have double-checked all settings as far as themes/appearance font size,
colors, etc. I've tried reverting to classic mode. I am not new to computers
whatsoever but this problem has me stumped and it's really annoying. No
viruses, no ad-ware either. This all happened at once. Only thing I've done
today is installed the Microsoft .NET 2.0 SDK and Visual Studio 8. Removing
those didn't help either. I have rebuilt icons in TweakUI. Doesn't help.
Reinstalled vid drivers, rebooted. Nothing.
Help!!

didn't have the windows built in wireless driver, i had to use an old intel
one to get online, all the sounds are 'beeps' rather than the normal XP ones
i had before. Also, the screen resolution seemed blurier than before, and
slightly bigger, and when i scroll down an internet page quickly, it jolts
slightly before moving down, and it never used to do that before. I've
checked my screen resolution in control panel and i only have the options of
