- Windows XP Update >> Win2K Won't UpdateWhen I run Windows Update on my Windows 2000 system, it finds the updates
that are needed. It then sits for a few minutes trying to get them, and fails.
The result is a screen that says "Updates were unable to be successfully
installed"
It then lists all of the updates that it did not install (all that it
attempted). No other information is provided as to what it is that failed.
Please help! Thanks!

How do I get the segment of pics from certain games and functions of that

I want them to start and finish together (not cut it off and start a new

- Windows XP Support >> Fax Modem not able to send or recieve.....Hi, I hope this gets through now, as I am not used to this type of newsgroup.
I have been trying to set up my Fax which is part of Windows XP.
I have set it up and connected it to the phone line, but it isnt being
recognised. I've had somebody try sending me a fax as well, and they cant,
and I'm stumped as to why it wont send or receive.
Can somebody help? I have this feeling it might be something to do with the
TSID and CSID. I am not sure I understand what they are.

- Windows XP Support >> task scheduler in accessoriesI have installed norton systemworks and it set up schedules for several
features (one being antivirus scan); they all seem to run as scheduled except
for the antivirus scan. On it I get an error message (The attempt to log on
to the account associated with the task failed, therefore, the task did not
run.
The specific error is:
0x80041314: The task has been configured with an unsupported combination of
account settings and run time options.
Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again.)
The run-as is listed as Acer/user and I am unsure of the password; when I
try to insure I have a valid password, it gives msg saying I am not allowed
access to this type action even though I am the computer administrator.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

- Windows XP Security >> Restrict websites for some users onlyOn a given Win XP Pro machine on a peer-to-peer network (no server or
proxy), I have six users accounts. I would like two of these accounts (with
admin privileges) to have unrestricted access to any website, but the four
remaining ones (with limited privileges) to have restricted access to only
websites I will specifically preauthorize, just a handful.
My router filtering feature is a all-or-nothing solution for all the
network, not something I want. Same with a number of software-based
solutions I found, including configuration of hosts file. Other solutions I
found require commercial softwares that do not support multiaccount Windows
installation.
Configuration of Internet Explorer is not an avenue as it is not the
browser used on that machine.
I would preferably need a free solution.
Any advice or link welcomed
Thank you !

Windows XP Setup >> Last good configuration not working
My last good configuration is not working. I can not boot XP in
normal mode, last good, or any type of safe mode.
Is there a way for me to edit a file and make XP load a
configuration prior to the one it thinks is the last good one?
Thank you in advance for all replies.

I am TERRIBLY cruel to my cat. I tease him with a vine tendril
until he either jumps up in the air to bat at it or zooms around
in a circle until he gets too dizzy to stand up. What is cruel about
it is that I don't do it nearly as much as he wants me to.

When vines grow they do not have branches the way a tree does they
have long flexible things called tendrils.
Here is what my Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary CDROM
says:
ten·dril (tenÆdril), n. Bot.
a threadlike, leafless organ of climbing plants, often growing in
spiral form, which attaches itself to or twines round some other
body, so as to support the plant.
[1530?40; earlier tendrel, var. (perh. by dissimilation) of ME tendren, tendron < MF tendron shoot, sprout, cartilage]
?tenÆdril·lar, tenÆdril·ous, adj.
?tenÆdril·ly, adj.

- Windows XP Security >> Advertisment PopupRunning Windows XP w/sp3, McaFee firewall, virus scanner 24/7. Have tried
Adware, Pest Patrol and a couple more I can't remember right now.
About every hour or so, time is not exact, a advertisment window pops up,
telling me I have a windows messager overflow error and states to go to the
site. UPDATENOW.COM. Of course going there, they want to charge 19.00 for a
windows patch, which I knew was bogus right from the start, microsoft does
not charge for their patches. But I can't seem to find where this popup is
coming from. Nothing seems to find it. I understand that Mircosoft is
already aware of this site, so was wondering if they knew how to get rid of
the advertisment

- Windows XP Security >> TEMP & TMP TranslationWhen we open a command promt and type "SET" we see this:
TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\Local Settings\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\Local Settings\Temp
This should be :
TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp
So not the whole path is translated to 8.3 notation only the first part.
We have ben unable to find a way how to control this function.
Can anyone help.

- Windows XP Update >> Update Error, Security and AV Programs/Sites Wink, Blink & FailThe latest security update failed for SP 2 in my WIN XP Pro. And now, any
AntiVirus or Security Programs won't start, Trojan-Remover won't auto start
at bootup, regedit.exe won't function at all, and even Trend Micro's
PC-Cillin Housecall or any other Antivirus Site refuses to function or
download their S/W so I can't search for infections on my PC from
anywhere!...almost like a parasite conspiracy, unless I accidently removed
valuable files with Spyware Doctor, PC Rescue or HiJackThis while I attempted
to remove flash pop-ups that just wouldn't go away...all of these programs or
sites will wink or blink or flash a window momentarily on-screen as if to
start, then disappear. The same occurrs for HiJackthis! An error 0X80070424
does occur when I attempt to update the latest security from microsoft
Windows Update whether I try manually or automatically, but all the helpful
advice I found here was followed and acted on for this error, and the problem
is still there. Is it an Active X or OCX problem?
I can't disable the System Restore function, so, of course, when I tried
a restore point, it re-loaded any viruses I acquired around Christmas time.
It even refused to restore at first for several tries. I finally got one
Norton site to scan my 20 gig drive... it took 4 hours...and it reported that
101 files were infected with the W32.Tibick virus! I can't get rid of it
because none of the AV programs will start or function in any way to remove
any viruses. At least my Ad-aware SE, and PC Rescue, and Spybot, and
Trojan-Remover appear to work when I start them manually... Help...

- Windows XP >> Copying .bsc files to a usb hard diskI was copying some folders earlier today from an internal hard disk to an
external usb hard disk, using both standard drag and drop and xcopy within
Windows xp, and in both cases the system was freezing - causing numerous
hard disk errors relating to the external usb hard disk, such as
"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\D during a paging
operation."
Anyhow, after a bit of probing it turned out that all files were copied over
correctly except for one - those with a .bsc extension and that it was these
that were causing the errors / freezing.
[Some background information on this particular file type can be found here
among other places....
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/_core_bscmake_reference.asp
]
Oddly, copying the .bsc files from one of my internal disks to another
caused no problems, and neither did copying the .bsc files from an internal
hard disk to a network shared folder on another computer. The ONLY scenario
that caused problems was copying the .bsc files from the internal disk to
the external usb disk (!)
Copying large folders of other files to the usb hard disk (which didn't
contain .bsc files) caused no problems and chkdsk also reported no errors or
problems with the external usb disk.
The files were originally created within Visual C++ 6.0, (from within the
IDE, although this program was not running during the copying). Stopping the
"Machine Debug Manager" service (which I thought might have been
responsible) also had no effect.
I also put a default installation of XP (without Visual C++ 6.0 or anything
else installed) into a version of vmware and the same .bsc files copied
between the virtual machine (located on an internal disk) and the usb hard
disk without problems.
Anyhow a mystery.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Disk in Disk Management just showig up as basic BOOT partitionHi all,
A colleague had his laptop fail on him (serious power/battery), and I'm
trying to suck the data of the disk.
The disk is a Toshiba MK4025GAS.
We've put it in an external USB 2.5" disk chassis, and it is visible to
XP.
However, in Disk Management, the disk is coming up as just a partition
called BOOT. It is also 'healthy (active)', and is showing 37.25GB
NTFS.
Is there anything more I can do in XP to actually see what's on the
disk? There are not options in Disk Management to do much - for this
disk, the only one which is enabled is 'delete partition' (which I
don't feel inclined to do!).
Any thoughts??

- Windows XP Security >> Password Mysteriously RequiredMysteriously, my Win 98SE Laptop began asking that a
network password be entered in order to access my Win XP
Home system folders and printer. These items are properly
shared, and previously I could print and access files at
will without the use of any password. Note that both
systems were initially configured to operate without
passwords. Presently, I'm unable to print from the laptop
and cannot access files on the XP system because of being
asked for a password that to my knowledge does not exist.
Any ideas for corrective action?

And the sooner the better, because my husband without a computer is VERY
