- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> system restore still not working.I have done everything suggested even a repair install of WindowsXP and it
still will not restore. Is it possible that if nothing has changed between
now and the chosen restore point that it will not restore? It goes through
the whole process of restoration but then reboots and the system restore
window has at the top, "unable to restore your computer to this point" I
really don't need to restore now but sure would want System Restore
functioning if I get into trouble with something.
Any ideas?

Let me jump onto the bandwagon by telling my experience with winupdate
version 5 - I foolishly installed onto my system. V5 showed me a number of
hotfixes totalling around 2.9 MB but after starting the download it appeared
that BETA Service Pak 2 had been marked for download as well without my
consent (knowledge). Since those winupdates, once in progress, can NOT be
cancelled (downloading) and no one of the MVP eggsperts had an idea how
to stop this disaster, It was my joy to wipe my HD to come clean of the
situation. I dearly hope MS takes my unpleasant lesson to built an download
ABORT button into winupdate.

- Windows XP Network >> VPN not 100% functional when using wireless adapter to connectHi!
I am having a hell of a time trying to figure this one out.
First the environment:
1. I am using a Linksys RV042 to VPN to my office network.
2. The office network has a Windows 2003 server which acts as file server,
DNS, and Domain Controller. (IP 192.168.1.111)
3. All client PCs are XP SP2.
4. RV042 is running the embedded firewall application and as far as I know
this is the only firewall protecting my office network.
5. All the client PC are running Windows Firewall and Windows Defender.
6. I establish PPTP VPN tunnels (this is the only way I was able to get the
RV042 to assign the correct DNS address to the VPN clients).
7. All computers (server and clients) have the latest Windows updates.
8. The RV042 has the latest firmware available installed.
Now the problem:
There are a couple computers that will not be able to access the office
resources when VPNing using their wireless network adapter. These same
computers will have no problem accessing the office resources when VPNing
using the Ethernet LAN adapter. In both cases (wireless and wired LAN
adaptor) I have no problem establishing the VPN tunnel: using windows VPN
client I connect to the RV042, which will assign a dynamic IP to the computer
and 192.168.1.111 for DNS. As I said, with the Ethernet adapter I will be
able to access all the resources, i.e. exchange server, shared docs, ping
hosts, etc. However, when using the wireless adaptor I will not be able to
access any resource at all even though the computer is assigned a valid IP
address and 192.168.1.111 for DNS.
Things that I've done so far to try to solve this:
1. Uninstalled Windows Defender and turned off Windows Firewall: same
result; I can access office resources only when VPNing using the Ethernet LAN
adaptor.
2. Installed a different wireless adaptor: same result.
I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?
Is there any security configuration that prevents the wireless adaptor from
accessing networks through VPN tunnels?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pablo M.

- Windows XP Update >> MS05-038 (896727) FAILURE Cum. Sec. Update for I.E. 6.0.2800.1106The August 10th, 2005 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer
(896727)
Security Update MS05-038 for I.E. 6.0.2800.1106 (latest) crashed my
operating system on my 98 SE computer. Immediately upon installation, I.E.
failed. Upon reboot, the system reverted to its' original registry and began
reestablishing hardware profiles for USB connections, monitor, parallel and
mouse ports. Many software connections were lost including Norton Anti-Virus
and Canon zoombrowser.
I won't be installing any more Security Updates for 98 SE any longer. I
have two backup H.D.s for my system just in cases like this. Obviously,
Windows doesn't care whether they crash 98 SE systems so they put out
critical updates for downloading which were not tested.
I am a 21 year computer vet who also runs 2000 and XP Pro in my office (and
two other computers in my home). I know something about computers but am not
a tech. I like 98 SE but cannot trust MS to provide secure performing
critical updates.

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Removing startup programs and processes
Two questions:
1. How do you keep the computer from starting up a
certain program each time it starts? I don't want to
eliminate the program, just not have it run all the time.
2. Is thjere a way of easily understanding all the
processes that are running in the process tab of task
manager, and then making sure some do not always run when
I don't want them to start up?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> CANNOT CREATE A CONNECTIONHello everyone,
I have recently reinstalled Windows XP Home on my DELL
laptop. I am trying to create a dial-up internet
connection but when I go to do so, after opting to 'set
up connection manually' in the Internet Wizard, I am
promted to choose amongst several options. The screen
reads "How would you like to connect to the internet":
1. Dial-up modem
2. Broadband connection that requires a password and
username
3. Broadband connection that is always on
I have a broadband connection that is always on (which I
am currently using) but want to select option number 1.
Unfortunately, 1 and 2 are 'greyed out' so that I cannot
select either and my only option is 3 (which, again, I
already have).
If anyone has some advice for me I would greatly
appreciate it as this is proving to be a rather big
obstacle to my work (for reasons that are complicated and
would take forever to explain). THanks in advance.

- Windows XP Network >> Problem w/ file sharing on Win XP Pro SP2I am using a LinkSys BEFVP41 ver. 2 Router for my network in my office. I had
the network up and working fine for quite a while using SP2, so this problem
I believe has nothing to do w/ SP2. My problem is, that now when I reset my
router, the DSL connection works fine, but now my 3 PC's will not share files
or printers any longer. Please help! Thank you very much in advance. Andrew

- Windows XP Setup >> XP doesn't boot from backup hard drive.I had a drive fail. Using western digital utilities I had
done a complete drive to drive copy. I swapped the "exact

appear. Computer is not frozen, mouse works. No messages
regarding errors, activation, etc, just never finishes
boot.

- Windows XP Support >> Validate Product Key agianst i386Validate Product Key against i386
Disclaimer: It's hard to pose this question without sounding like
someone trying to scam the xp validation scheme, but here goes.
I'm working on a friends computer and it's fairly riddled with viruses.
It's an OEM system, so there is no XP CD. I've been able to build up
a bootable CD from the i386 directory that the OEM left in a recovery
folder. I'm about to do a system repair (boot CD, enter to enter setup
and not recovery console, highlight partition and hit 'R' for repair),
when it dawns on me that I need his product key. I bit searching finds
it stickered to the back on an MS hologram. Being paranoid, I checked
it against the key that the current copy was licensed with, and turns
out they are different. This isn't a big surprise since the oem
probably installed from an image.
So now, I need to figure out (before I start setup) if either of these
product keys match the i386 folder in the recovery directory. If they
don't match, I get half way through setup and can't get the product key
to recognize in setup. This would destroy the repair process and I
would have to resort to fdisk-format-reinstall. I'm hoping to keep all
his application settings and data (hence the choice of the repair
path).
Thoughts on a LEGAL way to do this without violating the terms of the
MS license.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> display problemsall of a sudden my computer has display problems after
booting-up. the problem is very noticeable when i scroll
up or down and cuts my display windows horizontally with
narrow bars. i can usually get rid of this problem in
the short term by minimizing/maximizing (i.e.
refreshing), but even then fonts still have a blurry red
edge and any movement of the mouse creates a
multicoloured trail effect. this is very annoying and
sometimes leads to a total freeze.
i have installed/reinstalled new video card drivers
(TNT2, 64m). my computer is a 1800mhz althlon, k7s5a
motherboard with 256 ddrm.
