- Windows XP Setup >> UpdatesI keep getting popups that say 'updates are ready your computer, click here

- Windows XP Support >> downloading interviews from recording deviceI have a Sony IC recorder (B25) and am able to get the interviews onto a hard
drive with clear resolution using an audio cable plugged into a high-input
jack on the CPU. But only into that ridiculous 60-second "Sound"
application! The interviews are hours long. How can I download them in real
time, using the audio cable, into a different application that doesn't
require a USB port for downloading? Right now i'm transferring them to
another device that has a USB port and the quality is absolutely horrendous.
Thanks

from AD on the server.
How can I gain access to the local machine admin account to reset the
passwords?
Thanks!

Will it just be win xp or will it be for 98se, or Me

Copied from another poster
Excerpts from Ed Foster's Gripelog -
===================
It's a depressing irony, but the creep who wrote the Blaster worm may
very well have done Microsoft a tremendous favor. After all, what
better argument could the folks in Redmond have been handed to do what
they've always wanted to do - namely, force users to accept automatic
Windows updates.
Earlier this week, the Washington Post quoted Mike Nash, Microsoft
corporate vice president, as saying the company is "looking very
seriously" at requiring at least home users to have their operating
system automatically updated when Microsoft sends out a fix. Another
Microsoft security official was quoted as saying that having home and
small business users automatically receive and install software fixes
"would help the safety of a lot more customers."

- Windows XP Setup >> Sharing a Printer on a Home NetworkFound a reference site with articles and pictures
http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article64-page1.php
Tip #2 talks about turning off Window's built-in firewall,
since it does not customize well, just blocks everything
Wife's computer came bundled with Norton Internet Security,
which does have an option to allow file/printer sharing
My computer uses the free Sygate Personal Firewall, which
also allows customizing to allow file/printer sharing
(Sygate was bought by Symantec, no more free software!)
(But, for now, the product is still on a download site)
http://www.simtel.com/product.download.mirrors.php?id=53687
Following the steps in the article, and configuring both
firewall products to allow file/printer sharing, now lets
me print to Canon 4200 printer on wife's computer, which
was a "test" so I will know how to configure her laptop
(when it arrives) to do wireless printing

- Windows XP Support >> Device Manager blank - Action CancelledWhen I open the Device Manager it says in the window:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page
might be temporarily unavailable.
This is driving me crazy. I'm on the edge of reformatting and reinstalling
Windows...
I am running Windows XP Pro with SP2.
What I've done so far to troubleshoot and what I've found:
- Rolled back the registry two weeks which didn't solve the problem. Next, I
undid my registry changes so it was like I hadn't ever rolled it back.
- Had a clean virus scan with all Norton updates.
- Had a clean Spyware scane with all Spybot Search and Destoy updates.
- PnP service is running in the Services pane (I even tried starting every
service which did nothing as I assumed).
- PnP service is setup correctly from MSCONFIG ("Hide all Microsoft
Services" checkbox is not checked and "Plug and Play" is under the "Services"
tab).
- Security permissions are set correctly for the registry key
"HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\ENUM" (I cannot see the system name in the DM
so its not a security permissions issue; "SYSTEM" account has "full
permissions").
- Ran "SFC /purgecache" followed by "SFC /scannow" to no avail.
- Ran a disk check on my OS partition to fix file system errors; no problems
found.
- Same problem in Safe Mode.
Is there something I can do in the Recovery Console to repair my Device
Manager? If so how would I go about it?
I'm open to any suggestions at this point.

The path is set to a directory on the server to which I have full access.
In fact I use the same directory to store my email and documents.

- Windows XP Hardware >> CD-RW won't work w/blank/burned diskI have a Plextor PX-W4824A CD-RW, and have updated to the most recent
firmware. It works fine with any 'manufactured' disk, audio or data, but
will not work with a 'burned' cd. The 'burned' cds DO, however, work fine in
the DVD-ROM. When I put a blank or previously burned disk in the CD-RW, I
get a green lite for about 15 seconds, then the lite turns amber and proceeds
to flash 4x with a pause, 4x pause, etc. until I eject the disk. Windows
Explorer shows the drive, and Device Manager says it's working properly. I
uninstalled the Nero software I was using, but that did not make any
difference. I believe the problem started after I installed Windows SP2, but
I'm not positive, since I mainly use the burner to backup data files every
few weeks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
