- Windows XP Support >> Windows ScreensaverI have set up the scrolling screensaver with a msg. Is there a function or
variable I can add to allow it to add the current time to the text msg when
scrolling to keep from having to move mouse and quit the screen saver? I have
tried a couple that I am aware of for VB without any luck.
Thnx in advance.

- Windows XP Security >> SP2 Firewall-How can admins disable this?Hello,
I'm administering over a hundred machines and need to know
how to disable the Firewall either via a file change or
registry edit.
I've already tried using the netfw.inf file changes with
the netsh firewall reset command (I forget which Microsoft
article this came from but the Word document was
named "wfinf_guide.doc"), without much success.
Any help is appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> Media State DisconnectedHey when I try an ipconfig /release, renew it gives me an
error message that says media state disconnected. I hate
to sound completely retarded but my lan cable is plugged
in and I know my card is plugged in. Anyone know why this
might be happening? Thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> Can I restrict access to CD write capability?I'm wondering if there is a way for me to control which users have the
capability to write to a CD. I want them to be able to read, but not write.
I need control over the actual CD Drive, not any specific CD. Is there a way
to do this in XP Pro, and if so, how?
I've used a piece of software called DeviceLock in the past, but it has one
glaring flaw: While I can, in theory, allow read but not write via
DeviceLock, if an unauthorized user opens up the EasyCD Creator application,
it just bypasses the DeviceLock controls and lets them create a CD.
Thanks,
Jewels

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> errors in movie...My slideshow works great until I finish my movie. Once I try to save it to my
computer as a movie file, or try to burn it to cd or disc, upload to the web,
etc. When I run it it either has random pics show up as a black screen or it
gets stuck on a random picture but the audio still plays. I have saved it and
re-tried several times and it is never the same pics that it happens to?
Please help. This is a graduation movie that parents are waiting to recieve
copies of. It plays great off of my hard drive thru WMM only. I can't seem to
duplicate it!
Thanks

- Windows XP >> XP not allowing share by nameI have 2 XP Pro machines on a home network.
The hub is a Netgear MR814 Wireless router.
In the past I had been able to share files using each machines name but
periodically this ability would go away.
I would correct the situation by using system restore.
However due to some recent software problems I lost all my restore points
and can not go back to using the machine names to address in file sharing.
This was an anyoying process anyway to use SR.
Does anyone know why I would not be able to address the PC's by name and
what I could do to permanently fix the problem?
Here is the status on the system to help diagnose the problem
Network adabpters on both machines have
1 Client for Microsoft Networks
2 File and Print Sharing
3. TCP/IP Protocol
Network adapters on both PCs are set to obtain IP automatically and I have
tried both "Enabling Netbios" and "Default Netbios" settings
Each machine has a unique name and is on the same workgroup
Each machine has a reserved IP address on the router
Each machine has internet access

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> No Video Transitions for some peopleHi, I administer a network in a school.
When logged in with Administrator rights, I have all the
Vido Transitions, and Video Effects available to me.
When a user logs in, without Administrator rights, they get
no Transitions, and only two effects.
Am I right in thinkin the transitions are kept in dlls in
system32 directory?
Everyone has read access to this folder, and I tried giving
Full access to this folder on my PC, but that didn't help.
How do I get everyone all the transitions?

Windows XP Support >> Getting rid of an old address book
I am using XP-Pro and OE6
If I am sending an email, I can go to Tools-select recipients and find the
right address. The address book is set up to sort in order of last name.
But if I simply go to the To: line of the email and start typing, the
address that pops up is
an old address that is sorted on first names. This old listing is out of
date.
How can I get rid of the old list?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Control Panel in XP ProMy computer on the whole is working fine with one
exception (isn't there always one exception?!). I can
not access Control Panel. Whenever I click on Control
Panel all that seems to happen is the desktop is
refreshed. The second time I click I end up at the
Desktop Recovery page. Has anyone come accross this or
have suggestions on how it may be repaired?
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Missing TabsI'm running XP Pro with all current updates. I was reading about the built
in firewall and how to disable it if I had a router etc. Anyway, control
panel, network connections, properties and all I have is the general tab. I
believe that there should be two more, one being advanced. Any ideas or help
would be appreciated

- Windows XP >> help again... (sorry)Hi,
I posted an earlier message, but it has moved so far down
the list in such a short time that I thought no one would
reply to me if I added new information. My problem was
that Windows XP home edition would not allow me to access
my user acount; infact, it had created a temporary one
that lacked most of my old data. Thanks to your help, I
was able to restore most of my data to a new acount (by
cutting it and pasting it). However, there is still some
files and default setups that I would like to locate (if
I can), such as my outlook express e-mail account, as
well as all of my old e-mails. I also do not have my MSN
account. Any additional help that anyone could provide
would be marvelous. Thank you so much for your help.

- Windows XP Security >> MsconfigI have two questions regarding the System Configuration
Utility. Specifically, the Startup tab.
1. Is the item "sys" with the command "regedit /s
c:/windows..." a vital part of windows or is it possibly
spyware or something of that sort? Bottom line: can I
disable it from loading at startup?
2. I have 2 items that have no name & no command
associated with them, only a location. Can I disable
them from loading at startup?
Please help!

- Windows XP Support >> Accessing network drivesThis is a follow on question from a previous post of mine.
I have a network of 2 laptops and a desktop, linked with a Linksys ADSL
Router by hardwire.
I want to install an application on each machine (Act6) with the database
and common files being accessible to all three machines. Can I plug in a
network hard drive to my router and put the database files on there so that
all three machines will access them or do I need to install a server? One
laptop and the desktop run XP but the other laptop runs W2000.
Thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> XP reinstallationI had a RAM module fail, which apparently corrupted my OS
(XP Home).
Working with Dell, I was able to reinstall XP over the
corrupted OS, but none of my programs work. The
technician mention I'd have to reinstall my programs, and
then could retieve my exisiting data on the hard drive.
This is somewhat convoluted, but here goes.....installed
XP Home with a different user name. The original user
data is still "visible" on the hard drive under the "old"
user. Do I really need to reinstall all the programs?
I am having a great deal of difficulty with my Norton
programs as they won't go in.
Any help would be appreciated....thanks

- Windows XP >> NotifyAlert.exeI keep getting an error message:

application.
I click on OK and it goes away, but why does this keep
popping up?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Network >> Strange issues with e-mail and My Network PlacesI've had a problem develop recently whereby I can
receive, but not send, e-mail... Possibly related is the
fact that I can no longer access any of my ISP locations
via My Network Places or my web authoring application,
Dreamweaver. Both my ISP and web host have verified that
all my mail account settings are correct, and that the
mail servers are operating correctly. I can browse the
web with no problems. The trouble is with e-mail sending
and FTP access only.
Tech details, FYI: Windows XP Professional, accessing the
web via DSL, Linksys router, and Linksys 5-port switch.
Further info... I didn't notice any of these problems
until last week, when I installed the Linksys 5-port
switch to replace an old 4-port hub. But I really can't
see where adding such a component would affect mail
sending and FTP access.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer! Please respond
using the mail address supplied, with NOSPAM removed, of
course!
