- Windows XP Security >> Outlook Express is Removing AttachmentsFor the first time I downloaded and installed a Windows
Update. It happened to be the XP Service Pack.
As soon as I did, my Outlook Express started removing
every attachment I received, giving me the message that
it had removed an "unsafe attachment." I know the
senders in each instance, and none of these attachments
are "unsafe."
Can someone tell me how to keep my OE attachments. I
have my security settings on Medium.
Thanks.

- Windows XP Support >> user account login screenWhen Windows XP Home Edition first boots and shows the users login
screen is there any possible way to have the On-Screen Keyboard be
available at that time? Is there anywhere within the registry to
accomplish this? I'm a disabled user who has to rely on speech
recognition software, but I am able to use a mouse adequately enough to
use the On-Screen Keyboard for manual input when required. I would
like to be able to somehow input a password when Windows boots for more
security.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Network >> XP/2K ICS Problems from client (LAN works well)Hello,
I have a problem with ICS on Windows XP Professional on one computer
(server), and Windows 2000 Professional on another computer as a client.
My LAN is fully working, I can share folders between the two computers and
ping each others without any problem.
I'm using two Realtek 8139 10/100Mbps (PCI) Fast Ethernet cards with a
crossover cable. I've disabled the ICF on the server and enabled Simple
File Sharing. Both Windows' are fresh installations (installed two or three
weeks ago), I didn't make much changes on them, just the necessary drivers
(all WHQL) and the Service Packs (for the client I've only applied SP3 to
Windows 2000 due to problems I've read about 3D Studio Max and SP4)
- From the server, I can access to internet, using my ADSL connection.
- From the client, I can ping and tracert addresses on my LAN and internet
but I can't display any website, I can't check my mails or use FTP, I can't
read Usenet either.
More details about my configuration:
-------------------------------------------
LAN settings on the server (Windows XP):
Computer Name: net
Workgroup: LAN
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
I added my clients to %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts on the
server:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.3 workstation.MSHOME.NET
192.168.0.2 networks.MSHOME.NET
(192.168.0.2 is a Slackware installation I have on another partition of my
client computer, and I made sure that I didn't forget the two blank lines
and the end of the HOSTS file.)
Here is the contents of %systemroot%system32/drivers/etc/hosts.ics on the
server:
192.168.0.1 net.mshome.net # 2008 8 5 22 6 53 59 172
192.168.0.3 workstation.mshome.net # 2003 8 4 28 12 37 54 271
-------------------------------------------
LAN settings on the client (Windows 2000 Pro):
Computer name: workstation
Workgroup LAN
IP address: 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
DNS suffix for this connection: MSHOME.NET
-------------------------------------------
I've already tried, without success, to:
- set my ISP's DNS addresses to the "Preferred" and "Alternate DNS Server"
on the LAN connection on the client
- set the gateway (192.168.0.1) as the default gateway on the server as
well
- use "MSHOME" as a workgroup name
- disable some of my firewall rules (Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5)
- disable the firewall itself
- uninstall, physically remove and reinstall the NIC's on both machines
I've also noticed that exactly the same thing happens on Slackware, I can
ping, I do receive Echo Replies and I can tracert URLs, it resolves the
domain names into their IPs but I can't access to internet via any browser.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Setup >> SP Pro OEM Install ProblemsI have built a machine that I am attempting to install a new OEM XP pro (sp2)
on that stalls at the "Starting Windows" blue screen. I can load from the CD
using another computer and I can install 2000 on the PC in question. When I
load from another machine that uses the same chipset then install the CD in
to the desired machine I get to the Windows XP black screen, it fades and I
get no farther. When I load 2000 on to the desired machine everything works
okay. I have tried to use a XP pro preinstall CD but I get wierd IDE errors
that make no sense at all. I would like to get XP pro on this but it is
proving to be quite a challange,...any ideas?

Microsoft Sam, and I like to add some female voices to the list.

customize >> More voice options for XP text-to-speech feature?
okay, I download the text-to-speech engines for SAPI4 and CoolSpeech 5.0,
however, I still can't change the settings in the "Voice Properties"; the
"Setting" button is still inactivate. Is there a way to activate the
"Setting" or add the extra voices to the scroll down list? I don't want to
the use CoolSpeech 5.0 software, all I really need is to have more voice for
the MS Reader. More helps please!!!

- Windows XP Support >> CMI8738 6 channel surround sound problemsI recently purchased a C-media 6 channel surround sound card off ebay.
It didn't come with any drivers, so I downloaded these off the C-media
website (http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/driver). After installation,
the sound card works, but I only get audio in the front speakers
('audio out'). I get no sound in the rear speakers, or in the
subwoofer/centre speakers.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

- Windows XP Network >> NetBEUI network-can't 'see' other Workgroup PCs, but Search findsI'm just wondering if any of the recent MS security patches has affected my,
until lately, properly functioning NetBEUI home Workgroup network by making
NetBIOS over TCP/IP(--> Enabled) mandatory (or ?).
I have tested w & w/o my ZA Free 7.0.733.000 pers. s/w firewall (previous ZA
vers have never been an issue (as one would expect for NetBEUI), as I believe
they are only concerned with TCP/IP traffic).
Per PChuck's Network page, I have also examined:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Hidden -->
'Hidden' key does not exist
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa-restrictanonymous -->0
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters-RestrictNullSessAccess --> 'RestrictNullSessAccess' value does not exist
My Computer Browser service is set to Automatic but is typically not Started
when examined initially. FYI - the dependenices: Server & Workstation
services are Started and set to Automatic. Even if I manually Start the
Computer Browser service, NetBEUI connectivity is not restored.
Network details:
I'm using NetBEUI for an XP SP2/Win98 home network with Client for Microsoft
Networks and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks bound to NetBEUI
only.
I have QoS & TCP/IP installed with NetBIOS over TCP/IP-->Disabled (on
purpose).
My ADSL modem connects to a 10Mbps 4-port hub, then to a BEFW11S4 wireless-B
broadband router that has four 10/100 RJ-45 + WAN ports. Port 1 connects to
a 'cascaded' SMC7008BR broadband router (seven 10/100 RJ-45 + WAN ports)
using a CAT5 crossover cable to Port 7 (not the WAN). Both routers support
several PCs.
As my ISP allows 2 dynamic IPs, I connect my main workstation to the 4-port
hub directly using a 10Mbps NIC with only TCP/IP bound and a separate 100Mbps
NIC with only NetBEUI bound which connects to the SMC7008BR and my home
Workgroup network.
The other IP from my ISP goes to the BEFW11S4 and it distributes private IPs
to all other PCs on my home Workgroup network.

- Windows XP >> Send To settingsHello, Whenever I right click on a file in Windows Explorer I get a fly out with "Send To" options. Currently there are 9 places that appear when I click on the Send To fly out. None of the places are what I want. I would like to make a few of the places folders that I need to send the file to. Is there a way or place to remove and/or add places to the "SEND TO" Menu so that I don't need to drag and drop the file into a folder everytime I want to copy or move it ???
Thanks in advance
