While online it keeps on disconnecting.There is no specific time period.
Everything worked fine until 2months ago.I made no changes to the computer
or ad any new hardware, infact i formatted the computer and start all over
again.I even used another computer with no improvements.My service provider
says everything seems fine on their side and the landline compony (TELKOM).
Any help on this problem?

- Windows XP Network >> Peer to peer wireless networking without routerHi,
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,

- 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 ??

- 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 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!!!

Rosie,
I can't find too much about MotiveTest either. Here's a start though.
Get Process Explorer (free). Start Process Explorer. Look at the icons in the
tooltray. The right most icon should be a set of cross hairs in a circle (next
to a pair of binoculars). It's labeled "Find Window's Process" when you move
the mouse over it.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/essential-tools-for-desktop-and.html#ProcessExplorer
If this mysterious MotiveTest window is open, grab the Find Window's Process
icon, and drag it onto the MotiveTest window. Process Explorer should scroll
and highlight the process that owns the window. You'll be able to see a
multitude of information about the process. If you right click, under
Properties, you'll find still more information.

Rosie,
Process Explorer is unbelievably complex. There is stuff in there that I don't
understand anyway.
Just use it one step at a time - the Object Finder for instance. You can play
with the rest of it later.
And now that you've got it, get rid of it. But find out what it is first, and
let us know. ;)
Since you've read about Adaware vs Spybot, be sure and read about Heuristic
Malware Analysis. I think HijackFree may help you - it's free, and easy to use.

- Windows XP >> looking for software to auto move fileshi, i am looking for a piece of software that will help me clean up my
desktop.
i need it to move all files from my desktop on a scheduled basis to
another disk on the computer. it must move directories as well as
files, and preferably have the ability to exclude selected
directories.
anyone know of something that fits the bill.
the closest i have found so far is second copy 2000 but that leaves
behind empty directories so its not quite what i want.

- Windows XP Support >> What's the best synchronization software?What's the best synchronization software?
Hi all,
I have a working directory at work on my office PC. And I some times do work
at home at my home PC. And I also keep a copy on my laptop. Due to company
policies, I have to use USB drive to copy and paste from one computer to
another. I keep adding/deleting/modifying files on these three computers and
the directories are now a mess. I lost track about which PC keeps which
version of my work and when the files get more and more the whole situation
becomes a nightmare.
Could anybody recommend a good and effective sync software to handle these
things, esp. the sync through the USB drive? I assume the software should
not only copy and paste, but also resolve the conflicts by merging and
asking me to decide how to merge or discard files/changes.
I need the best sync software to boost my productivity. Thanks a lot!

- Windows XP Security >> XCACLS causes error in permissionsAfter using xcacls from the resource kit to change permissions on a
folder and its contents, explorer reports an error on the permissions.
This happens in XP as well as Win2000.
[Xcacls should be the same as cacls, with the exception of an added
"/Y" switch to make it easier to use from a batch file].
What I did was grant access to one account, and revoke (deny) it for
another:
xcacls <path> /T /E /G User1:F /Y
xcacls <path> /T /E /D User2 /Y
After executing these commands through wshShell.Run in a script,
opening the security tab in the folder's properties (or any item
within it) causes this message to appear:
The permissions on <name> are incorrectly ordered, which may cause
some entries to be ineffective. Press OK to continue and sort the
permissions correctly, or Cancel to reset the permissions.
Clicking OK or Cancel >>seems<< to do what the message says, but the
changes aren't saved when the properties dialog is closed: the same
error reappears the next time the security tab is opened.

- 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!
