- Windows XP Support >> helllp please!I've developed a problem lately that's driving me nuts. When I click on a
folder on my desktop, my computer dials the internet. I've run 3 different
anti-spyware programs and this does not appear to be the problem. I ran
system restore and this only temporarily solves the problem. Then the problem
happens all over again. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this annoying
problem ?

- Windows XP Network >> Problem networking with Windows XP HomeHi,
Let me first tell you my setup.
I have 10 PCs plus one Compaq Proliant Server. The server is running Windows
NT 4.0. 7 of the PCs are running Windows 98 SE. The other 3 are running
Windows XP Home Edition. The 98 SE machines are all connect flawlessly to the
network, sharing files and printers and internet connection (ADSL through a
router modem). Each are assigned static IP addresses with the DNS provided by
the ISP. 2 of the XP machines also connect to the network (internet
connection is automatically available on startup, but to access the shares on
the network, the user would need to key in their user name and password for
the network). These two machines have IP address and DNS set automatically.
My problem is the 3rd XP machine. I configured it in exactly the same manner
as the other two but for some reason it can only get the internet connection
but not to the network. If I assign it a static IP address (configured in the
server) and DNS (given by the ISP), it can connect to the network but no
internet connection. I'm at my wit's end. Please help.
P.s. also for the XP machines which network ok, is there a way for them to
login to the network during startup (during the initial login process)
without having to re-login again when I want to access the shares on the
server? Thanks again.

- Windows XP Network >> changing from one profile to a new profile gets no map drivesThanks for looking at my issue:
I'm running a win2k3 server domain. We are in the process
of upgrading our machines to winxp. We have about 20
differant sites spread out over the area all connected
back to the main site via a 32k frame. At those site only
1 pc is on the network so the line should be ok.
The issue we are getting is that after we set the pc on
the domain and log off then log back in as the user no
mapped drives are under my computer. Sometimes a drive
will map but it won't be to the complete path thats
specified. We have Gp maping the home drive and a script
mapping 1 other drive. Still yet we have a few people that
will log into that machine. So if we log off as 1 user and
back on as another we get the same thing.
I tested this back at the shop on a 100mb connection and
got the same thing. Though one weird things I got is that
if I totally rebooted the machine I wouldn't get any issue
and all drive would map properly.
Please help!!

- Windows XP Security >> Can't get into my harddrivePlease help!
I have 2 computers and I transferred one hard drive from one to the other. I
did have a password set on that drive as you entered Windows XP. Now on the
other computer, the harddrive's folders show up but ACCESS IS DENIED to most
including My Documents because I must have encrypted it at some point I
think. Or is it the password that's causing it to be accessed. How do I
bypass/get rid of the passwords/encryption? I hope that my explanation is
clear enough.
Thanks for any tips.

We are running Active Directory and have W2K, XP Service Pack 1, and XP

- Windows XP Setup >> A WARNING! mydocs.dllThere's a LOT more going on with the mydocs.dll than meets the eye. It is
DEFINITELY doing more than just storing data. It's sending data out when you
access the internet! Yep, don't believe me?
I put Zone Alarm Pro, (an excellent firewall), on my computer, and this
firewall checks what's going out as well as what's trying to get in. Well, I
set the internet settings to the highest, or most secure for checking files
in and out. I couldn't believe it! When ever I tried to access the internet
I would get an alarm that said the program I was trying to access the
internet with has been changed, and would I allow the changed program to
access the internet? When I hit the details button, I see that mydocs.dll
had attached itself to ANY program that I was trying to access the internet
with and the alarm logs showed that mydocs.dll was attempting to send data!
NO LIE! I think the reason My Docs is so slow is because it's doing LOTS of
sneaky crap behind the scenes and sending out data to MS or somewhere! Where
else would it be sending data?
Anyway, download a free trial copy of Zone Labs, Zone Alarm Pro firewall and
check it out for yourself. In fact, I bought a MS internet keyboard and
laser mouse and had to disable the system hooks because they BOTH were
sending data to a central database, I know that because the database has an
IP address!!!! Once again, NO LIE! Get the Zone Alarm firewall and check it
out for yourself!
I'd love to find someone who has addressed this problem with Microsoft
software. What programs within the operating systems are reporting back? It
can't be denied, it IS happening, and the reason it's being discovered is
because there was never a firewall good enough or complete enough to check
what's going out before. This firewall was designed to stop things like a
Trojan horse from communicating, thereby stopping the virus. It just so
happens that it's catching Microsoft too!
This could be another HUGE lawsuit against MS. I'm sure they don't want this
to be known, but beware people, big brother IS watching you! THAT is the
main reason the mydocs.dll is so twitchy, slow and has it's own
architecture, it's doing a LOT more than just sitting there! I understand
the "My Favorites" folder information is included in the data being sent by
mydocs.dll too. Does anyone know who has been working on this problem with
MS? Somebody should! Good luck!

Windows XP Setup >> partitions
Sue,
If the drive was partitioned as one single partition, there are no tools
native to winXP which will let you repartion the drive without first
deleting the existing partition. Then you will need to create the new
partition and reinstall the operating system and all application.
Doing this wipes out everything on the drive.
There are 3rd party tools that will let you repartition without loosing the
operating system, application and data.
The easier one to use may be partition magic (kind of expensive for a one
time use) and bootitng is another.
Bootitng has a 30 day trial period thus may be a better choice.

Note: Make sure you back up all important data before trying

Windows XP Setup >> partitions
You maybe able to find a trial version of partition magic to partition you
hard drive, but xp does a much better job. Something you want to consider,
Dell does NOT support partitioning and it may kill your warranty, so you
want to talk to them first.

- Windows XP >> my computer does not allow me to the systerm yearhi, all,
Please give me a little help with any idea what might be wrong with my
computer.
I just got this DELL computer 2 months ago with windows XP installed.
I found out yesterday it does not allow me to change the year of the
computer time beyond 2005. Once I changed to 2008 and click apply,
then it will change back to 2005 again. But I can change the month,
day and time, and I can also change the year in Safe Mode. Only when I
use normal start, it does not allow me change the year again.
Thanks a lot.

- Windows XP Network >> Help - Not enough service storage is availableI have several computers (WinXPPro SP2 and Win98SE) in a small network
that all access drives on each other computers.
One computer MAPLE is most referenced. Most can access MAPLE with no
problems. I have added a new drive to MAPLE. When trying to map the
new drive, I get the message
"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following
error has occurred: Not enough server storage is available to process
this command."
MAPLE is running WinXPPro SP2 and has 512MB ram.
Is there something that I could change to increase the number of
shared network drives???

- Windows XP Network >> PC can't see the Mac files in networkI have a PC, with XP-Home, connected via a router to my Mac-OSX. From the
Mac I can do any number of operations, including transferring files from the
Mac to the PC and extract files from the PC to the Mac, from the Mac itself.
I can also print from the Mac to either printer, the Mac's or the PC's.
Yet, something happened in the last few days and now when I try to connect
from the PC to the Mac, through My Network Places, Entire Network, Microsoft
Windows Network, Workgroup and click on "Mac OS X (my name...)", I get a
warning saying that the Mac is not accessible and that the network path was
not found.
The name of the Mac computer seems to have been changed, but there is no way
I can delete or change the name to what I believe was the original name;
what Mac calls the short name of the computer.
How can I change or modify the properties so my PC can see the Mac. Also,
when the network was working Ok, I could not print from the PC to the Mac's
printer -- it just printed gibberish, or rather, the unformatted version of
whatever it was that I was printing at hat time, with codes galore.
Help! Thank you.
