- Windows XP Security >> XP Home SP2 and anti-spyware softwareIs it necessary for a system running on xp home sp2 to have ad-aware se
personal installed or other anti-spyware software, (is sp2 enough considering
sp2 is more a security update)? Are there any foreseeable incompatibilities?
Any other possible
issues? What anti-spyware softwares work best with sp2?
Thanks,

- Windows XP >> FormatDoes anyone know how to format the C drive on XP? And if
so, I am assuming that my restore disk will re-install all
the programming on it?
I have got problems that occured with this before I even
bought the computer (new) where java was damaged and more
problems of the same so that whoever tried to repair it
gave up. Jan. 28th was a popular day for it and I did'nt
buy this computer until May... I'd like to format and
clean it up before I re-install, have tried running the
restore disk 4 consecutive times with no luck. XP is
loaded on the restore disk so I do not have the original
XP installation disk from Microsoft. Any ideas?
Win 98 was easy to format, XP is giving me headaches.

- Windows XP Setup >> DISK SPACE LOST ???First of all....
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.
I'm hoping someone can help me on something I have been working hours to get
a solution, with no results.
I'm trying to download some songs ... to DVD-RW (and to DVD-R).
On the DVD problem I'm having, it shows that the disk has 4488.06 MB ... and
it should show as near as 4.7 GB !!!!! It shows this on ANY DVD I have tried.
On CD-RW and CD-R, it is shown that the disk space is 702 MB.
I have tried using NERO, Roxio Easy Creator, and CDBurnerXP Pro 3.
How come the disk space for the DVD's is lost down to 4488 MB ???

Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Analog video captureConnected a VCR via composit connectors to ATI AIW7500 using WinXP Movie Maker 2. I can see the video and hear audio but more than half the time I click Start Capture I get a file which has no video and only audio. Sometimes if I start a new capture collection it works and other times it freezes at 3kB total and not video. Have managed to capture an entire VHS tape once. Now I'm tweaking the brightness levels and cant get the software to grab video
Any thoughts
Thanks.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Audio noiseI am getting an annoying click whenever I play any type of media file with audio content (AVI, MPG, WAV, MP3, etc.). The noise occurs regardless of the source (CD, DVD, local hard drive, network hard drive, etc.). It also does not matter what application is being used to play the file (Windows Media Player, QuickTime, RealPlayer, Ulead Video Studio, etc.). It is a click that occurs at regular intervals approximately one second apart. The intensity of the noise is dependent upon the level of the audio passage in which the noise occurs. The noise is reminiscent of a scratch on a vinyl record. I have tried different sound cards. I have never before experienced anything like this. If anybody has any ideas, I would love to hear them (no pun intended).

- Windows XP Hardware >> Computer freezes occasionallyHi,
One of the PCs here has recently developed this rather mystifying habit of
freezing sometimes.
It happens randomly and lasts for about ten seconds or so. Also, it can
happen anywhere from a few times within an hour to a few times in a day. And
it happens no matter what the application running on the machine at that
time. It was observed that even the screensaver freezes!
Virus, malware, trojans, spyware, adware...... were checked for. Also SFC
/scannow was run without any problems. So was chkdsk /r.
The hard drive was swapped with its "mirror" (a simple restoring the
standard back-up to a fresh drive) - the phenomenon still persisted. The
memory was swapped out too, to no avail.
Occasionally a clicking noise can be heard, like that of a hard drive
"waking up". This happened on both the original drive as well as the
replacement one. Motherboard power and drive time-out settings are selected
properly.
Someone suggested replacing the power supply.
Any suggestions on what to look for very much welcome.
Regards and thanks in anticipation.

- Windows XP Support >> file questionWhile browsing through files (In any way and any place) I find files that,
instead of folders by them, have a piece of paper with the right top corner

- Windows XP >> Hard Disk Activity Light Remains OnHas anyone had a problem with the hard disk activity light remaining on? It
does'nt flicker or turn off at all. It started yesterday for no known
reason. I ran a scan disc and everything is fine. The computer runs fine
and there isn't any other problems, but this thing with the light is driving
me nuts! Should I try a system restore? Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks,

- Windows XP >> Want to get rid of MSN MessengerRecently the MSN Messenger has appeared on my system tray and it
periodically pops up telling me that I need an important security update. I
don't actually use MSN Messenger, and having it there is probably an
unnecessary security risk. How do I get rid of it so its not running on my
system tray - or better still - how do I eradicate it from my system?

- Windows XP >> Deleted Files ReappearWhen trying to delete files on a Windows 2000 Server File

File & Folder permission issue. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> Direct Cable ConnectionI have a desktop and a laptop, both using XP Home. I
cannot make a direct connection between them, to share
files and printers, work. I continually get the message
that the modem in the laptop (the guest) is not working.
I use a serial cable between COM1 ports. When I look at
the modem properties, the system returns 'Unknown' for
the modem address, and I can't find a way to bridge the
internal modem from COM3. Can someone please advise what
I have missed out, even though I carefully followed all
the instructions in the wizards and on-line help?

Windows XP Network >> Peer to peer wireless networking without router
Hi,
We have two DELL laptops and both of them have functional wireless network
card.
Is it possible to do peer to peer wireless networking with this two laptops?
I have done the similar thing by connecting two laptops with a cross over
cable. It would be very nice if I can do the same thing with a wireless
card.
Any help would be appreciated,
Max

Yes, you can. This is called an "ad-hoc" wireless network. Barb Bowman
shows you how to do it here:

- Windows XP Network >> 2 XP PCs on network see via the cmmd prompt, but not over Windows.Here is the deal:
I have two PC's. One has XP home, the other XP home Media Center Edition
(MCE). I have them connected to a Netgear Router, which goes to the Cable
Modem. A printer is attached to one PC.
My problem is I have one-way visibility. The PC with XP Home MCE can access
everything on the PC with XP Home. But not the other way. The PC with XP
Home does not see anything on the PC with XP Home MCE. Also, only the PC
with XP Home gets listed as a workgroup computer.
From the command prompt, I can Ping both ways.
Also, I ran Net View from the command prompt. I was able to see everything
(both ways) that I set up to share on both PC's, including the printer.
How do I fix my Win network to see both ways?
Any help is hugely appreciated!!!

- Windows XP >> Unexpected Outgoing eMailOccasionally, when I send/receive email, I notice that my antivirus software
appears to be scanning an extra outgoing email. This is particularly
evident when I know that I am only sending one email, but I can see scanning
indicated for 1 of 2, and 2 of 2. On checking my "sent" folder, there is no
evidence of an extra email, and I know that I have not replied to an email
within a folder other than my inbox where replies would be stored. I have
set my options to never send a receipt for incoming email. Interestingly,
this never seems to happen when my outbox is empty before I send/receive.
My configuration is Windows XP Pro, Office XP (I never use Outlook Express
for email), Norton System Works 2003 with Personal Firewall, and a D-Link
firewall. I update software daily, run an antivirus scan daily, and update
D-Link firmware monthly. I also run AdAware, SpyBot, and SpySweeper weekly.
Advice? Is there undetected spy ware? Is NSW erroneously reporting the
number of outgoing messages being scanned? Help!

- Windows XP Update >> Two questions1. I recently had a user get a virus so I checked (among other things) their
Auto Update setting and found that AU was off. So, decided to check rest of
workstations on network and found AU was on. BUT, decided to go check
manually on Update site and received anywhere from 2 to 6 updates eventho AU
was ON. Any ideas ?
2. If AU setting is to download at a time when computer is off, will it
"catch up" when computer is turned on ??
