- Windows XP >> delay between IE and OE view of this newsgroup?I had trouble finding my own post in this newsgroup using Internet Explorer,
so I set up this newsgroup in Outlook Express (following the instructions on
the MS community website). However, when I check the headers for this
newsgoup in OE they seem to be about 11 hours behind the ones visible in
Internet Explorer.
Is there some way to get up-to-date messages from the newsgroup in Outlook
Express?

- Windows XP Security >> Michelle KightleyI am currently using Windows XP. Every time I access Internet Explorer security messages pop up. This prevents me from using several web pages
Microsoft Internet Explore
" Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly
I have tried changing my levels of security from medium to low and high. This hasn't made any difference. The messages still pop. My security setting is currently set on 'low'
Any ideas???

- Windows XP Setup >> actve desktop, view videosI am unable to retrieve any windows from the desktop. I
receive messages that state access denied and the start
menu will only allow 2 functions which are shut down, and
log off. The windows media player will play music and
display visualizations but will not show the actual
video. The real.one player doesn't come up at all
because it it always preceeded by the Acrobat 6.0
window. What is going on with this system. Has it been
infected with a virus or does the system need to be re-
booted. I belive I was told something about "cookies
being enabled"' whatever that means. Help please!

- Windows XP Support >> TWAIN_32 folderHi all,
I have a Dell Dimension 8300 series with Windows XP Home (German) and
Service Pack 2 with all the latest updates.
I have a Mustek BearPaw 1200CU scanner and when I try to install the driver
and panel from the CD, it aborts in the middle of the installation.
I go to C:\Windows\TWAIN_32 and see a folder called: S6U12K
When I click on the folder, I get an 'Access Denied' error and I cannot
browse the folder or delete it, even in Safe Mode.
How can I solve it?
Thanks,
Ivan

- Windows XP Update >> Unable to update from microsoftI am running XP Professional, Internet Explorer 6.00.2900.2180 xpsp-sp2
........, and Outlook Express 6.0.2900.2180............
When I select on Internet Explorer the option (Tools) Windows Update, I get
the following message:
Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site.
To use this site, you must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or
later.
To upgrade to the latest version of the browser, go to the Internet Explorer
Downloads website.
Why does IE think I am running an older version, and how do I get an update
if it thinks the version is not correct?
What is even more curious, this error message occurred at every attempt to
run the update check last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
On Wednesday, I was able to (repeatedly) contact the update site, have
checks made for any required patches, and download as applicable.
Come Thursay and today (Friday), and that error message is back, on every
occasion.
Is this a problem with accessing Microsoft?
I have made no changes to firewalls, security options, cookies, link page
blocking etc.....
Any ideas please?
Regards
Eric

- Windows XP >> image resizer caused a problemI reinstalled XP home and since then i can't change the name of the file without adding the file extention to it. An example would be right clicking on a photo on the net, goto "save as" if i leave the name as it is, it saves it fine (even though there is no file extention shown) if i try to change the name it saves it but when i check the type of file it reads "file type: file" and i can't open it unless i rename it with the .jpg extention or whatever the original was named. also i'm not changing the "save as type" when saving. The problem started after I installed image resizer, I removed image resizer through add/remove programs but I stiil have the same problem, Thank

- Windows XP Network >> Need help in seeing my computer on my home networkI have a laptop with XP on it and two desktops with 98 on it. I can see and
browse the two desktops from the XP laptop but I can only see the XP laptop
from the two 98 computers. I can't open up the XP laptop at all. It keeps
asking for a password? This laptop did come from a campany who had upgraded
and were selling the laptops off. Anyone have any idea how to get around
this? Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> It was the firewallI came to the group several days ago seeking the solution to my networking
problem. Several MVPs (Chuck in particular) responded with great info and
asked me to come back to the group and share any insights I might have had.
So in that spirit, here I am and here is what happened:
I had/have a desktop Win2K machine and a laptop Win2K machine that
shared/share files with no problems at all. Then I bought a new laptop with
XP Home.
When I tried to add it to the network, it could share files with the desktop
but NOT with the laptop. I tried everything and finally gave up.
Meanwhile back at the ranch ... a few days ago ZoneAlarm announced they had
a new update to their firewall, and I decided to install it, on my Win2K
laptop. They recommended a clean install -- that is, resetting everything.
Suddenly, out of the blue, the two laptops started sharing with no problems.
Here's what happened: Since the desktop and laptop were already sharing
flawlessly, I was lulled into thinking all was well with them, and that the
problem must lie with the new laptop. But in reality I had made the settings
of the laptop firewall very specific, to allow traffic only with the
desktop. Whereas I should/could have allowed traffic in a more general way
(e.g. "any computer in your subnet").
It was the laptop firewall that was blocking access to the other laptop. By
pure chance, the desktop firewall was set in a more general way and masked
the problem.
Moral of the story: remember that *all* firewalls in the net might
contribute to the problem when a new computer arrives. Re-check them to make
sure they're not blocking something.

- Windows XP >> Can't install IIS on XPI am trying to install IIS on my XP SP2 box and having this problem
I went to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs - Add/Remove Windows
components
I check IIS and then click OK
The installer starts and then brings up a message window that says "Could
not find staxmen.dell" and pointed to C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
I browsed to the path indicated and found the file "staxmen.dll"
I repoint the installer back to the path and still get the error message...
The other part of the error message says "insert XP service pack 2 disk" The
service pack 2 I have is one I downloaded and is a compressed file. I even
uncompressed service pack2 to a temp folder and then pointed the installer
to that folder still IIS won't install. Anyone know why and what I should do
to install IIS?
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP >> Standard mouse won't right-clickHi all,
A friend of mine is having trouble with her standard mouse (PS/2 connection)
on a Windows XP machine. She is using the standard mouse driver since the
mouse is a "no name" bought at Office Depot. The problem she is having is
that the right-hand button doesn't do anything. She's gone into the control
panel and changed its settings, but nothing works. She got a mouse from a
friend and it has the same problem on her machine (although it's fine on her
friend's computer). The person who owned the computer before my friend used
a trackball "mouse", so did something get messed up in the registry? Any
ideas?
We haven't tried reinstalling the operating system yet because that takes a
long time.
Thanks,
Bob

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Help - Frequency of Computer Rebooting is IncreasingIn the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that when trying to do multiple

something with Windows XP?

- Windows XP >> standby problemsI am running a Pentium 2.4 with Windows XP home and whenever I am away
from my computer I put the computer on standby as I've had three power
supplies catch fire and ruin computers. Yesterday I get the message
"the device driver for the 'communications port (COM1)' device is
preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all
applications and try again. If the problem persists you may need to
update his driver."
there does not appear to be any device operating on communications
port 1. The drivers are something like: "serenum.sys" and
"serial.sys"
when I remove these drivers I then get the same message regarding the
modem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the modem but it makes no
difference.
Please help.
Thanks,

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Limited UserI have Microsoft Office 2000 Pro installed on a Windows
XP Pro machine. It is a custom install with everything
loaded to the local drive. The user has a limited
account. When she tries to open a JPEG image attached to
an email using Outlook, she gets an open file error.
Outlook is not able to open this file type. If she copies
the file to her desktop she is able to open the image. If
I change the user account to Administrator she has no
problems opening this file in Outlook with Microsoft
Photo Editor. Is there a way to get around this Photo
Editor problem using a Limited account? I'd be
interested in other work arounds using a Limited account
too.

- customize >> organizing folders alphabeticallyHow can I get the files and folders windows to ALWAYS
alphabetize by name without going to Details option?
Only in the first level of Windows Explorer do the files
order as such. One or more levels down and they seem
chaotic with the last file used in the last place.
I can find no way to set a default file order preference.
Thank you
