- Windows XP Security >> antivirus on multiple user accountsI have Norton Antivirus installed on my windows xp
computer. It recently expired, and we renewed from the
website through the computer administrator account.
Since then, it does not seem to be working in the other
user accounts. How am i able to activate it in my other
users accounts? I have thought about re-installing, but
because my hard copy is already the expired version, i am
not sure that will work. I didn't recieve anything (i
think) from Norton when i re-subscribed, it just updated
me automatically (again, i think). Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Karyn

- Windows XP Setup >> MSN groupsHi all! I need help with my animations in my msn groups. I have been
having problems with posting an animated image. When I insert one into a
message box at any of my msn groups.....my image on my screen is not moving.
My group can see it moving, but on my computer it is just still. For
example, a dancing frog.
My group can see the frog dancing, but in my window...it is just standing
there? I do not have this problem in Outlook Express, or Yahoo, my
animations work perfectly in those accounts. I have asked MSN tech support
for help on this, and they have instructed me to "Empty temp internet
files" enable cookies, clean my disc hard drive. I have done all of that
and still have the issue. I also defrag on a regular baisis. I am
getting no where with msn tech support, they keep telling me the same thing
over and over. Any help would be appreciated. I am running Windows XP
prof.

- Windows XP Network >> Internet connectivity with two adapters...Here is a copy of the problem I'm having quoted from another forum:
"Weirder FTP problems...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I'm using the latest version of Bulletproof FTP Server to host a small
FTP site for clients to upload things to us, but I cannot seem to get it to
work. I have installed BPFTP Server on a computer on my network with the
address 192.168.1.210...it is connected to a switch, which is connected to
our router at address 192.168.1.1 which has the appropriate ports forwarded
to the computer hosting the FTP...the router is then connected to our cable
modem which has a static IP address. Whenever someone tries to connect(or
even if I try to connect locally) the server gives me the following messages:
(000042) 12/20/2004 3:33:21 PM - (not logged in) (24.55.151.214) > connected
to ip : 0.0.0.0

disconnected.
On the client side it's just saying that the connection is timing out.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks,
Patrick"
This reply I made is the important one for you folks here:
"Okay, well I figured out what was causing the problem. I have two ethernet
adapters installed, both have internet access, but one cannot have the
necessary ports forwarded to it due to the way the network is constructed. I
disabled that network, and all of my ftp problems have gone away, but now I
can't connect to my other network...which is just as important. Is there any
way to disable internet access from going through that adapter, while leaving
the rest of my network connectivity intact?"
Do you guys here have any ideas as far as how I should configure this
computer to gain internet access only through the adapter I choose?

- Windows XP >> HELP. URGENT! Atten. Bruce ChambersMy Problem was:
My computer will boot up, will show the desktop and all programmes but will
not respond AT ALL to any clicks on the desktop icons. It will show option
to shut down and will do so.
I booted up three times and shut it down three times, but the fault
persists.
Which way do I correct this fault?
The suggestion from Jim Macklin was:
EXE and LNK Fix for Windows XP - Line 12
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
I downloaded the fix, saved it on the Hard Disk, found the file (exefix) and
opened it, but where do I go from here?
I posted this question for the attention of Jim, but he did not reply
(probably did not see it), so could you help?
How do I get the computer to respond, so that I could implement Jim's and
yours suggestions. I am using my very old standby PC to post this.

Windows XP Setup >> dual monitors
Hi,
It's because you don't have a full function driver set, only a basic one
that allows the display to work. Sony won't help because the upgrade is not
supported. Unfortunately, proper supporting driver sets for OEM system need
to come from the manufaturer, and evidentally Sony is not willing to do so.
You might try the web site of the display adapter manufacturer to see if a
full driver set for your system is available. Otherwise, you may be out of
luck on this.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Cannot do a system restoreI have multiple restoration dates. My system has been shutting down with no
reason that I can identify. I do suspect that I installed a faulty driver,
but so far I have been unable to remove it. I have tried doing a system

ago, I get the message that my system cannot be restored to that date. Does
anyone have an explanation for this or better yet tell me how to do a system

- Windows XP Support >> Looking for a Network Monitoring Utility that logs everything entering and leaving my NIC.I am trying to find and application that I can start with a simple
shortcut in a minimized state that will log all my activity from my
network interface card. I am trying to determine what my computer is
doing when it is idle and whom it is talking to. An perhaps if any of
my applications are calling home or not.
I have a utility called "filemon.exe" which does it for system calls
but I want one for network traffic. I don't want to install ethereal
unless I have to because I think the memory overhead is large when the
log file this thing creates begins to get large.
Any ideas would be appreciated....

- Windows XP Network >> I'm Depressed - Linksys Router | Cable Modem | Power CutUp until yesterday morning I was happy. My broadband host machine was
feeding my win98se machine downstairs for internet & files.
Then we had a powercut and it messed up the network for some reason and I'm
not clever enough to set it back up again (and the tech support at Linksys
are CERTAINLY not clever enough - they can barely speak English never mind
fix my network).
When I connect the modem direct to the computer I can connect to the
internet fine. But I cannot connect to the internet when I use my router.
All wires are plugged in correctly, everything on the hardware side of
things is fine but it just won't let me online and it won't connect to the
other computer.
The problem seems to be centred around the "network connections" page in
Control Panel. Currently, when I right-click/properties the LAN item,
everything seems fine and TCP/IP properties is set to "obtain IP
automatically"
However, that is without the router connected. When I connect the route and
run the network wizard a "network bridge" item is placed in the "network
connections" page and then when I right-click/properties on the LAN, I don't
see the menu which includes the TCP/IP option, I just see some text telling
me that "this adapter is connected to the network bridge" or something like
that.
I am seriously depressed now. I've spent maybe 3 hours on the phone to
linksys tech support IN THE PHILLIPINES and I have no idea how much that is
gonna cost me on the phone bill!! They don't know what they are doing. All
they do is tell me turn the computer off, turn modem off, turn back on check
IP address then do the same again standing on 1 leg.
Any help would be great. Why would the power cut interrupt my network
settings? It was fine yesterday before the powercut. grrrrr.
thanks

- Windows XP >> DCOM Shutdown ErrorI have an XP Pro box that when logging on recieves the following error:
"System Shutdown initiated by NT Authority/system. System must restart
because DCOM server process launcher terminated unexpectedly"
The computer counts down from 60 seconds and then reboots. I tried booting
in safe mode and that caused the pc to just reboot itself without the error
message. I also removed the drive and connected it to a secondary pc and ran
a virus scan which did find a number of virus' and apparently removed them.
I reran a virus scan on the drive which came up clean. I also ran and Adware
scan and removed any traces of adware also. Thinking this would solve the
problem, I reconnected the drive to the original pc and booted up only to
come across the same error and reboot problem. Any suggestions???

- Windows XP Support >> Delay opening ExplorerI've encountered an annoying problem for about a week now. I've searched the
net and can't seem to find a solution.
When I open a NEW Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer window, it takes
about 8 seconds to appear. Normal desktop programs are fine, just Explorer
type windows, like Recycle bin, My Pictures, My Documents, IE, etc. I click
on them, hard drive light works for about a second and then nothing for about
8 seconds, then the window appears almost fully loaded, hardly any wait for
icons to appear.
I've run a virus scan and spyware scan, nothing. I haven't installed
anything except the last windows patch from the 13th. I uninstalled those,
rebooted, same problem.
I've had the laptop for almost a year, runs incredibly smooth, except this.
It's an HP, AMD 3200+ 2.0Ghz, 512 Ram.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion? Is there a registry item I can
edit that would eliminate this delay?
Thanks,
Nelson

problem i have is that this computer runs off XP Home.
Why is it that i keep on having messages saying that there are too many

If i upgrade can i do so using a XP professional disk or will installing SP2

Hope you can help

- Windows XP Security >> installing latest Critical update on Windows XPI just went to the update section and was told to
download the update to add a registry key to I believe
disable the adodb.stream so my computer would be safe
from a possible outside control of my computer. Here is
the introductory research that Im pasting here to
describe why this download is deemed necesary. Im quite
sure other users of XP have also received this and prob
is ok or else the update would not have been recommended
but here it is for someone to give me some much needed
help before I download it!!!
An ADO stream object represents a file in memory. The
stream object contains several methods for reading and
writing binary files and text files. When this by-design
functionality is combined with known security
vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer, an
Internet Web site could execute script from the Local
Machine zone. This behavior occurs because the
ADODB.Stream object permits access to the hard disk when
the ADODB.Stream object is hosted in Internet Explorer.
Here is more information:
MORE INFORMATION
Any line-of-business Web application that requires a file
to be loaded or to be saved to the hard disk may use the
ADODB.Stream object in Internet Explorer. For example, if
an intranet server hosts a form that an employee must
download and fill out, the ADODB.Stream object is used to
obtain the file and to save the file locally. After the
user edits the file locally and submits the file back to
the server, the ADODB.Stream object is used to read the
file from the local hard disk and to send the file back
to the server. We strongly recommend that you use
different methods to provide this functionality. For
example, you may use an application or a control that
requires the user to deliberately access the hard disk.
Now I dont know if the above paragraph applies to me
since Im not a business but the last thing the article
said was this:
After you apply the update, you will receive the
following error message when you try to use an ADO stream
object from an HTML page in Internet Explorer:
ActiveX component can't create object: 'ADODB.Stream'
If you are running an application in a corporate intranet
environment, and the corporate intranet environment
currently uses the ADODB.Stream object with Internet
Explorer, applying this update may cause the application
to break. To restore application functionality, Microsoft
recommends that you first set your Internet Explorer
browser security level to High, and then you must clear
the compatibility flag of the ADODB.Stream object. Now Im
not running an app in a corporate environment but my
question is if I do the download will I have trouble
using an ADO Stream object from certain HTML pages or
will I not have to worry about this. In other words will
I have any aggravation from any disabling features not
being able to use my computer to its full extent because
I certainly do not want any error messages to come up!!!
I dont pretend to understand most of this so I hope
someone can explain it to me and let me know if I can
download the update without fear of losing any
functionality on the computer especially when viewing
certain web pages. I trust someone understands all of
this and can help me as soon as possible. Thank you very
much!!!!
