- Windows XP Update >> Windows Update 0x80072F78 error and workaroundAfter installing the latest version of Window Update on my Windows 2000 DC,
I'm receiving the following error when selecting the "Windows Update" option
from the IE Tools menu:
[Error number: 0x80072F78]
The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you
are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the
problem.
None of the MS KB links that deal with this error have been of any
assistance. Note: I do use a proxy server (MSP 2.0).
I have managed to find a workaround:
1. Select the "Use administrator options" from the menu on the left of
the page
2. Select the "Windows Update Catalog" link within the "Update
Multiple Operating Systems" paragraph on the right
3. Select the "Windows Update" link from the menu on the left of the
page.
Alternatively, simply go to
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp
From here I can then scan for and pick updates to install.

- Windows XP Security >> PEAP Cached User Credentials and Support for TTLSHi, I have a question about WinXP cached user credentials
for PEAP authentication. I'm aware that there's a solution
of remove the cached credentials using regedit. But is
this something MS will change - i.e. not caching the
credentials? (Perhaps in SP2)
Also, will MS provide support for TTLS authentication for
WinXP and Win2000 in the near future?

and have them tell me which components are compatible with my system that I

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> turning off Windows XP Home EditionI just had my computer in for service and everything was working fine until I
installed HP Printer, Scanner, Copier. I turned off AVG virus protection and
Windows firewall when installing. Now, when I go to shut down, my computer
brings up the windows box, saying it is " ending programs and saving
material". I have checked the task manager and there are no programs
running. I turned off the power to my new psc and it still happens. Once
or twice this box did not appear and when I went to restart my computer the
next day, it would freeze on me. When this happened, I have had to unplug
the power cord and wait until all power is gone. If anyone has any
information on this, I would love to hear it. I don't know why that box is
appearing and I don't know why my computer would freeze

- Windows XP >> Sound is distortedI had a harddrive go bad. I replaced it, reinstalled widows XP home and the sound was distorted.
It starts out fine, then get worse until it is almost unrecognizable in draging out the words and sounds.
All the drivers are up to date. I reinstalled windows with no effect. It distorts whether playing a CD or
MP3'S. The start up sounds from widows are completly distorted. I ran a diagnostic check on the hardware and everything seems fine. It appears to be a software problem or the new harddrive is too slow, but then why does it start out working fine? Any ideas on where I go next?

Does anyone know anything about a file called voblaizdupla.exe?
My ZoneAlarm notified me this morning that it was trying to access the
internet.
It is living in c:\windows\system32 folder. No idea how it got there.
Not a single hit on Google.

- Windows XP >> V4 Window Update in XP ProWhen attempting to access Windows Update, the page which
directs you to update your Windows Update software is
displayed. Clicking "Windows XP" and "Driver Updates" on
the left side navigation results in the same page being

Do you know any fix?
Thanks in advance!

- Windows XP >> Can not browse computer in a different workgroupMy organisation a recently purchase a few new PC running
Win XP Home Edition. I had set configure to be a
different because there are over 80 PC connected to the
orginal Workgroup.
Lately I had encounter the following when I tried to
access the other workgroup.
"Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator of this server to find out is you have
access permissions.
No more connections can be made to this remote computer
at this time because there are already as many connection
as the computer can accept."
I can access the computer is the workgroup if I search
for it in the Windows Explorer, ie the Permission should
not be an issue.
Thank You

- Windows XP Network >> NetworkingHello, smart world out there! I am trying to set up a wireless network in my
home. Do I need to do this AND set up a home network? I am confused, and
nothing I've tried yet works. I did set up a "network" that my own computer
acknowleges, but none of the other computers in my home appear to.
(Is there a way to delete this unneeded network if I do not need it?) Just
so you know, the computers in my house appear to all share the same internet
connection and printer already, but i also want them to be able to share
files (and hopefully to be able to link up via remote accress), and that does
not appear to be happening. Any wise advice would be sincerely appreciated -
and shared - play it forward!

Windows XP >> sendtox
I realize this must have been covered before, but the site search engine is giving me little useful info. While i wander the Net looking for answers i keep running into contradictory oppinions/suggestions.
I just installed XP 1a in my new machine
Bottom line:
I'd like the "sendtox" option when I right-click a folder/file etc.
Is there a safe way to add that capability in XP?
thank you for your help,

- Windows XP Support >> XP Pro won't bootI have a computer that won't boot after an electrical outage. the error
message states "explorer.exe unable to locate componet" "this application
failed to start because 'cryptui.dll' was not found".
the file 'cryptui.dll' is in the system32 folder but windows won't boot
because of the above message. I have tried to rename and replace the file but
can't. I have tried replacing it using recovery console, putting the hard
drive in another system as second drive the trying to copy the file but
windows will not let me do anything.
this file from what I have read is part of a service pack.
Is there any way to fix this problem without reformat and reload windows xp
pro.
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Rundll32.exe holding sysdm.cpl openHi,
I have found that I'm unable to access the System icon in the control panel.
I double click and nothing happens. I think the reason this is happening is
because for some reason rundll32.exe is using that file.
A look at the process list shows :
RUNDLL32.EXE "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe"
Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL sysdm.cpl
3652
Also if I terminate rundll32.exe from the task manager I can then access the
system icon, so that's definatley the cause.
The question therefore is what's causing rundll32.exe to use the System
control panel icon and then not let it go.
Thanks.

- Windows XP Security >> XP Home sharing and securityI'm trying to help a friend who has a set of XP Pro
systems in a domain with a Win2003 SBS Server. This
domain (companyname.net) and the PCs in it happen to be on
the same LAN in their office as his wife's business, which
only has 2 PCs, both running XP Home (no domain, just the
workgroup "office"). They need to share a folder between
the 2 PCs running XP Home, but they want to make sure the
share can not be accessed from the other systems that are
part of the companyname.net domain. I know you can boot
the XP Home system in Safe Mode, and gain access to the
full security settings. The problem is, I don't know what
to add or change to make sure only the 2 systems in the XP
Home Workgroup can see the shares, and deny access to the
systems in the companyname.net domain. If I
remove "everyone", it denies access to the domain PCs, but
also denies access to the other XP Home PC. Suggestions?

- Windows XP Security >> DEP FUN, CONFUSION, AND HYPOCRISYI'm restarting my computer as usual, when all of a sudden, DEP appears,
stating that Windows Explorer needs to be closed. So I do, screen goes blank,
and Windows Explorer re-appears. I read Help, and I try to tell DEP not to
close Windows Explorer, however, to do that, I need to go to Control Panel.
And when I go to Control Panel, the computer doesn't let me, because DEP
appears, says Windows Explorer need to be closed. then the process starts all
over again.
I have restarted 6 times already, and it's still not working (going to
Control Panel), and Windows Explorer has stopped re-appearing/remained blank,
except for a:
Windows Explorer needs to be closed.

Luckily, going to Help eventually provides a link to the Internet, leading
me here.
Does anyone have a solution?

- Windows XP Security >> I need more helpMy McAfee Virus Scan wasn't working and would not reinstall. I followed advice I got on here and tried Panda, which located and cleaned the virus which was affecting my McAfee. I was then able to reinstall my McAfee Virus Scan. But now it still won't update. McAfee tech told me it was because I have Panda software on my computer now and they are conflicting. He said I need to completely uninstall the Panda software. It doesn't show up in my Add/Remove section, only in my Registry Editor. Can someone tell me how to completely remove this Panda software? Thanks.
