- Windows XP Security >> Will not search second user for spyware, etc?I have two users on my machine (WinXP/SP2). The Admin (me) and a limited
user. It dosen't seem that all the spyware stuff I have (SoyBot, AD-Ware, MS
Antispyware) searches the limited users files becasue I get different
findings when I run searches. When I search from my account everything looks
clean but when I run searches in the limited account all sorts of things turn
up (like Claria and a browser hijacker today).
I haven't run Norton Security in the limited account yet so I'm not sure if
thats even OK. I did notice that the Antivirus was grayed out for some reason
in hte Norton Security taskbar popup window .
How can I search my entire machine for spy and adware (and virus)?
My other problem is since the limited user has password access I cannot get
in and do searches without the limited user here. Also this user is not very
dependable to do these searchs so I need some kind of foolproof
tactic...(besides getting another user :))
Any help would be appreciated....

two. When I switched on I received the following error:

- Windows XP Security >> CPU usage and problem enabling firewallMy CPU usage maximizes at 100% when I am connected to the
net. I connect through an Ethernet card and a cable modem.
In the taskmanager, I see that 99% of CPU power is being
used by "services.exe" and "svchost.exe"! This leaves
practically no resources for me to use for any other
programs, including internet browsing. The result is that
all programs that I try to launch run at a bare minimum.
I have a Pentium 4 at 1.7ghz and 500mb of Rambus 800 RAM.
I thought that some hacker might be messing around with
my ports, so I tried to enable the Microsoft firewall on
my network adapter. I received an errotr message,
indicating access denied. I believe that this also has
something to do with the problem.
If I disconnect my modem before powering up the system,
the problem does not occur. Once the network adapter
recognizes the modem, the CPU problem begins again.
Since I would like to continue to use the internet, I
would appreciate any help or guidance that anyone might
have.

- Windows XP Update >> Downloads fine but get error 80072EFD on installHi,
I am running XP SP1 (do not want to install SP2 yet) and am trying to
download the following updates:
Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374) [fails with errcode 80072EE2]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB824151) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB840987) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB834707)
[fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Q811114: Security Update (Windows XP or Windows XP Service Pack 1) [fails
with errcode 643]
I have tried to change the security settings as per postings in this forum,
but it doesn't help.
I previously tried to install SP2 but it failed, and our sysadmin does not
want anyone to upgrade to it yet. When I run windows update it goes to url
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Does that mean that some of SP2 got on
there anyway? If so, how can I remove it? It doesn't show under "Add/Remove
programs" and my build version says: "Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633 (Service
Pack 1)".
Thankful for any help!

- Windows XP >> Windows XP InstallationCurrently I have a Korean Windows XP Professional in my pc. Since some
applications look ugly under my non-english XP, I'd like to change it to
English Version of Windows XP. Because I understand Korean xp is not
qualified for upgrade to english xp, I am going to upgrade from my old
English version of Windows 98 SE.
As far as I know, during the installation of XP, upgrade versionof XP seeks
qualified products to proceed installation. To do this, do I have to delete
all korean version of windows xp, such as windows directory? I am just
wondering if english windows xp upgrade terminates installation procedure
once it finds korean version of windows xp since it is not qualified or if
it still prompts message like "Insert qualified product cd" so that I can
insert my windows 98 se for validation.
What I want to do is English Windows XP upgrade installation from Windows 98
SE without repartitioning or formating and keep current file system. So, if
english xp upgrade cd finds korean xp professional during installation and
terminates installation, I think I have to delete some files or folders of
windows xp to make english windows xp unable to detect my korean windows xp
professional. In this case, what folder or file should I delete?
Thank you very much.

- Windows XP Security >> User Account Folder is BlankWhen I open the User Account applet in Control Panel, it is completely blank.
Same situation in the System Restore folder. I click on ? Help and Support
from the start menu and there is no response.
First encountered this when I opened my itunes and saw a message asking if I
wanted itunes to be my default media player. I said "yes" and it told me I
didn't have permission.
Started to reinstall XP from the Dell disk, got message that version is
older than current (SP2) and to please insert disk. No disk, did microsoft
update. Now when I go to microsoft update page, the page stays blank. Have
uninstalled/reinstalled Internet Explorer, no change. Help???

- Windows XP >> Change color of Windows ScrollbarI'd like to change the colour of the windows scrollbar in
Windows XP. In the Advanced section of Display Appearance
properties I can see a list of elements that can be
changed, including Scrollbar. But I'm only able to change
the width, not the colour. The colour buttons are
disabled. Is this "normal"? Is there a way to work around
this limitation?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> Restricting Internet Connection Sharing on LANHello,
I have a LAN in my office (20 pcs), with most of the machines with
WinXP and a couple with Win98, the server is an old computer running
Win98 and using ICS for internet sharing.
Now I need to restrict the internet connection to certain users instead
of share it to all user of the network, but all the users must still
have access to the local LAN.
I think I will need a "connection" per user (something like a VPN
inside a LAN), or a way to restrict which users can have internet
access (which sounds like I will need a domain or something). I would
rather stay with the first option (vpn-like connection) if that is
possible.
How can that be done? If needed we can buy a license to Win2K or
Win2k3, or even use Linux.
Thanks in advance,
Luiz Borges

Windows XP Update >> Unable to update Windows
Operating System - Vista 32bit. Lenovo Laptop 3000 N100.
Consistently refusing to install 3 of the latest updates. In reading a help
article for Error Code 80070002, I renamed a directory. But I can't remember
which one. Now, I've fixed it to where my computer WILL NOT automatically
search for updates.
PLUS, I still cannot install those 3 files.

- Windows XP Network >> Strange Networking ProblemI have a small home network set up using a router. There is no domain; I
have a workgroup set up in Windows. It was working fine until last week.
Then it stopped for no apparent reason. I have two computers, nd running
WinXP Pro, and nl, running Win XP Home. Both can access the Internet
without problems. Both have Norton Personal Firewall correctly configured
to allow them to access each other. They can ping each other.
When, from computer nd, at the command prompt, I enter "net view \\nd", the
shared resources on nd are listed. When I enter the same command with nd's
numeric IP address, this message is displayed: "System error 53 has
occurred. The network path was not found." When, on computer nd, I enter
either "net view \\nl" or net view with nl's numeric IP address, I get a
correct listing of the shared resources on nl.
When, on computer nl, I enter "net view \\nl" or net view with nl's numeric
IP address, I get a correct listing of the shared resources on nl. When, on
nl, I enter "net view \\nd", I get the same error as above (53), but when I
use nd's numeric IP address, I get a correct listing of the shared resources
on nd.
When I view network places in Windows on nd, I see the shared resources on
nd only. When I do the same on nl, I see neither the resources on it or on
nd. Both computers can access the setup screen of the router.
I am at my wits end. If anyone can help I will certainly appreciate it.

- Windows XP Network >> Home Networking -- 2 NetworksFolks,
I have a Windows XP Home Desktop and a Windows XP Professional Laptop. Both
have wireless adapters and Ethernet adapters. I have set up a wireless
network from both machines to a DSLAM Subnet 192.168.1.x, 255.255.255.0 DHCP
off the DSLAM). I want to set up a second Ethernet network connecting the
two machines (192.168.2.x, 255.255.255.0 set up statically). I have a 10/100
5 Port Ethernet switch both machines are attached to.
I have run the Network Connection Wizard on the XP Home machine and can ping
both the wireless and Ethernet adapters from that machine.
I have run the Network Connection Wizard on the XP Pro machine and cannot
ping either adapter. However, when I ping the XP home machone, I get a
response from the wireless adapter on that machine. I can ping the TCP/IP
loopback from the XP Pro machine. I am sure that when I can ping the
adapters on the XP Pro machine from the XP Pro machine, all will be O.K.
BTW, the DSL network is running fine on both machines, even thoguh the XP
Pro machine cannot ping its own wireless adapter!
I would appreciate any and all help on this one.

- Windows XP >> Software InstallationsI have installed all my software on my laptop as an administrator since I
made myself as an administrator group member using Windows XP.
Now, I have a server and made my laptop to join the domain of my server.
So, it created another profile on my computer (which is not really an
issue). The issue is that some of the software that I am already using the
software is asking me to either re-install or it sometimes it installs
itself again.
Is there a way that when I install the software on any machine that this
software will be available to all users. Since sometimes, I need to work
without joining the domain.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP >> WinXP doesn't like USB hubHi! :-)
At home, I very recently started using an externally powered Hewlett Packard
USB hub because my laptop only has three USB ports and due to having just got
a Hewlett Packard scanner that connects by USB, I have four USB connected
devices.
The problem is that if I try to start up with the USB hub plugged into a
port, my laptop will only go to just past where the Windows logo is shown on
the screen just above that animated bar, a point at which a black screen
shows and it won't go no further. When I force a total shutdown, wait a bit
and restart, I get a message saying that Windows would not start normrally,
says something about "may be because of new software" and gives me a few of
the startup options that one sees when pressing F8 on startup. I unplug the
USB port and Windows starts just fine, I plug the hub in and both it and
Windows behaves as it should.
What might be causing this problem and how do I fix it so Windows starts
just fine with the hub plugges in, just like it does when starting with my
keyboard, mouse and external hard drive already plugged in?
While I'm at it, anytime I plug my external HD in when Windows is already
started, whether it's directly, through the hub or there was a momentary
power failure, I get this "autoplay" window that appears to be scanning
through the files on my external HD. I shut it off by hitting the "cancel"
button and preceed normrally, but would like to know if there's a way to keep
it from coming up at all.
Finally, for those who may be wondering, I have a USB mouse because to me
it's so much better than the built in touchpad, an external hard drive for
storage space (my mp3 collection alone is 15G with a LOT more on the way) and
I got the keyboard when some keys on my old laptop quit working and kept
using it with my new laptop because of the extra buttons the allows me to
quickly open the programs I use most.
Thanx in advance :-)

- Windows XP Network >> Domain and worgroups on samne XP Pro machine?I hope someone can point me in the correct direction. I have a home network
comprised of 3 PC's running XP. They all tak to each other just peachy, and
all of them are wired to the same Linksys WG45T wireless router, sharing a
broadband cable connection. Here' s where the fun begins.
The wife buys a laptop. She uses this laptop at her place of work, where
they set it up on a domain system. So, I bought the formentioned wireless
router to include her on the workgroup network at home. It connects to the
router through the wireless just fine as for the Internet. However, I'm not
sure if I will mess up her domain setup if I try to set it up to see our
workgroup at home. I know the must be something about this somewhere simple,
I'm sure. But somehow I've played with this just about long enough to
frustrate myself. Anyone know of an article addressing this, or should I just
shell out another $150 for a print server so she can see my printers
Thanks for any help you might provide,

- Windows XP >> IE6 sp2 won't open pdf filesIt's been a problem for months, so I've given up...
Windows XP, all updates installed... IE ver 6, SP2...
Adobe 7 current Abode onboard.
For the past several months, no matter what I've changed, undone,
security settings changed (all the way down to 'none' and all things checked
for
on..) to security settings turned off on the CA firewall...nothing seems to
help.
pdf files are not displayed in the browser, just the placeholder..and no
error messages
or error indicators. And IE's been reinstalled twice..no good. Adobe's
been reinstalled
on its own and into IE's (through the component interface) and again, no
good.
In Mozilla Firefox though, just recently installed, adobe pdf's display
fine.
IE used to work fine with pdf's, I can't figure out what I might have
changed
to make things not work...or what combination of switches I haven't tried
yet..
Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone seen this issue in current or past
IE's..that may give a clue as well. Maybe it's not in IE itself, but
something in the
XP setup or configuration that is interfering with the pdf's being
displayed.
any ideas very welcome...is this an IE issue or a general XP setup or config
issue?
if I can narrow it down, perhaps I can find out what is actually going
on...it's very
frustrating.
Thanks,
