- 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.

personal installed or other anti-spyware software, (is sp2 enough considering
sp2 is more a security update)? Are there any foreseeable incompatibilities?
Any other possible
issues? What anti-spyware softwares work best with sp2?
Thanks,

- Windows XP >> Want to get rid of MSN MessengerRecently the MSN Messenger has appeared on my system tray and it
periodically pops up telling me that I need an important security update. I
don't actually use MSN Messenger, and having it there is probably an
unnecessary security risk. How do I get rid of it so its not running on my
system tray - or better still - how do I eradicate it from my system?

- 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 ??

me nuts! Should I try a system restore? Any help would be appreciated!!

I have done the similar thing by connecting two laptops with a cross over

card.
Any help would be appreciated,

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Audio noiseI am getting an annoying click whenever I play any type of media file with audio content (AVI, MPG, WAV, MP3, etc.). The noise occurs regardless of the source (CD, DVD, local hard drive, network hard drive, etc.). It also does not matter what application is being used to play the file (Windows Media Player, QuickTime, RealPlayer, Ulead Video Studio, etc.). It is a click that occurs at regular intervals approximately one second apart. The intensity of the noise is dependent upon the level of the audio passage in which the noise occurs. The noise is reminiscent of a scratch on a vinyl record. I have tried different sound cards. I have never before experienced anything like this. If anybody has any ideas, I would love to hear them (no pun intended).

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> InternetI have my home page set-up for CNN but occasionally it
reverts to another website:
(Res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213). Then I have to go
into internet options and change it again. What is going
on? I just loaded Windows XP 2003. I had Windows

Thanks for your attention

- 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.

fix this?! I cannot login.

- 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!!!

- Windows XP Setup >> Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errorTried to reinstal Win XP when some components were

Stop:0x000000D1
(0xFC70FFDF,0x0000000D,0x000000001,0xF84B01E1)message.
Searched MS Knowledge Base and found many simular
messages, but none matched the codes I got. Is it RAM,
storage device or something else? I suspect the video
card, but don't want to blow $$$ until I know. WINXP
setup won't even let me finish the install. THANKS

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Not RespondingI bought a new motherboard/hard drive recently. Ever since
then, my computer is EXTREMELY SLOW and I get a "Not

even stopping for several minutes in the middle of a
document. Help!

- 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!
