- Windows XP Network >> UPNP command line wrapper?Hello,
I have a couple of programs that don't support upnp which need open
ports in my router firewall (e.g a vnc server and a client in listening
mode). Rather than leave the ports open permanently I was hoping to
create a script that would open the ports via upnp when the program
launches and closes them again when it shuts down.
Is there a command line interface to the windows xp upnp api? I wasn't
able to find any mention of such a thing with several web searches.
Alternatively does anyone know of a wrapper program that can open a set
port range via upnp, launch an application and close the ports again
when the app terminates?
I know it is possible to manually open a port via upnp using the
properties dialog of the "internet gateway" icon which appears in
Network Connections for a upnp enabled router, however it is time
consuming to manually open the port each time I need to launch the vnc
server.
Thanks in advance for any help.

- Windows XP Security >> User rights on Win2K domainHow do I give users morelocal rights when they logon to a Win2K or even
WinNT4.0 domain controller? By making the users primary group Domain Admins
and log on again, they can change settings like standby, screensaver and
start programs that use the Windows Registry very intensive.
But as a normal Domain User, they can't change nothing and Word Macro's
report problems on reg-keys unable to be updated.
How to change this (perhaps using gpedit.msc, but which keys)???

- Windows XP Support >> XP and/or Quicken problemSince Quicken people have not seen this problem nor have XP sites mention it
I am not sure where problem exists.
When I look at a split transaction in quicken 6 register the new box blinks
rapidly for 5 to 15 seconds before appearing normal. It appears to be
looking up information. All my other applications run fast and I have XPpro
with a 3.3g CPU with 1GB ram. No other apps running at this time. Could I
possibly have something set incorrect that takes cycle time away from this
program but not others?
Appreciate knowing if anyone else using Quicken 6 sees or don't see this
also.
Thanks

- Windows XP >> Virus Shuts Monitor Off Upon DetectionThe wonderful husband won't stop downloading porn (and I don't even
care about the porn- I told him to get mags instead! Just stop
downloading that crap to my systems, they download virus too!) It's
messed up two computers in the very same way . I have no idea how to
fix them.
If I use Spybot, the moment the search finds the bug it either goes
into a 'fuzzy snow screen' or goes black. If I use any kind of virus
detection software, the moment it's detected, the screen goes black. I
regain the monitor upon reboot. The other computer I have either gives
me a fuzzy illegible or black screen in almost five minutes after boot.
IT seems that this thing starts on upon being detected and then gets
worse.
I am debating whether or not this is the W32Klez virus problem or not.
The description didn't completely fit my problem. I'm going to try
Symantec's fix, but if it doesn't work, DAMN! I have to scrap the whole
drive and start over again (what a pain).
I've checked the Power options and it's interesting to note that the
UPS (Uninteruptible Power Service) has currently been stopped with no
options available for turning it back on. A triangle with the
exclamation appears next to this notice as if the computer is saying
"What the F@#$".
Sorry about the crassness, I'm just upset.
If anyone knows anything about this, please do tell. Thanks!

- Windows XP >> This is for people that want to suceed.HOW TO MAKE QUICK CASH IN WEEKS FOR ONLY $6.00!!!!! I
found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A
little while back, I was browsing through news groups,
just like you are now, and came across an article similar
to this that said you can make thousands of dollars
within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!!
So, I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam," but
like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading.
Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the six
names and addresses stated in the article. You then place
your own name and address in the bottom of the list at
$6.00, and post the article in at least 200 news groups.
(There are thousands) No catch that was it. So after
thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I
thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to
lose; except six stamps and $6.00 right, right?" Then I
invested the measly $6.00. WELL GUESS
WHAT!!!...............Within seven days, I started
getting money in the mail!! I was shocked!! I figured it
would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second
week I had made a total of more than $1000.00!! In the
third week I had more than $10,000.00 and it's still
growing!! This is now my fourth week and I Has made a
total of $42,000.00 and it's still coming rapidly. Its
certainly worth $6.00 and six stamps, but I have spent
more than on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works
and most important, why it works..........also make sure
you print this out NOW, so you can get the information
off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if you
follow the directions exactly that you will start making
more money than you thought possible by doing something
so easy!! Suggestion: Read this entire message
carefully!! (Print it out or download it) Follow the
simple directions and watch the money come in!! It's
easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00
(Plus postage) ! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off, it is
decent; it's legal; and it is virtually no risk - it
really works!! If all the following instructions are
adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follow the directions EXACTLY, and
$50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This
program remains successful because of the honesty and
integrity of the participants. Please continue its
success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You
will now become apart of the Mail Order business. You are
in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large
corporations are happy to pay bug bucks for quality
lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is
secondary to income which is made from people like you
and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the
four easy steps to success. STEP one: Get six separate
pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of
paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6
U.S. $1.00 bills and place ONE inside of EACH of the six
pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the
envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in
each of the six envelopes and seal them. You now should
have six sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper
stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a
$1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!!!! You are requesting a
legitimate service and you are paying for it!! Like most
of us I was a little skeptical and little worried about
the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the
U.S. Post Office (1-800-125- 2161) and they confirmed
that it is indeed legal!! Mail the six envelopes to the
following addresses: 1) Ms. Heather, 1587 Normal Dr.
Apt.#103, Bowling Green, KY 42101 2) Ric Bishop, Rt 1 box
225 AA, Rich Hill, MO 64779 3) Isaiah Cross, 994 West
Kendal, Corona, CA 91720 4) R.I. De Tienne, 516 36th St.,
Newport Beach, CA 92663 5) Ransom Bishop, Rt 1 Box 204,
Amoret, MO 64722 6) Dustin Borders 1117 Stillhouse rd
Whitehouse tn, 37188 STEP two: Now take the #1 name off
the list that you see above, move the other names up (six
becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, and etc.) and add YOUR NAME as
number 6 on the list. STEP three: Change anything you
need to but try to keep this article as close to original
as possible. Now post your amended article to at least
200 news groups. (I think there are close to 24,000
groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you
post, the more money you make!! This perfectly legal!! If
you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341
of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps
for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it
again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program
remains successful because of the honesty and integrity
of the participants and by their carefully adhering to
directions. Look at it this way. If you were of
integrity, the program will continue and the money that
so many others have received will come your way. NOTE:
You may want to retain every name and address sent to
you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes
people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly
providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to
wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail
theft). So, as each post is downloaded and the directions
carefully followed, all members will be reimbursed for
their participation as a List Developer with one dollar
each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so
that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be
receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an
opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first
six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name
to the list and you're in business!!! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW
TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS!! STEP one: You do not need to
retype this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply
put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag
your cursor to the bottom of this document, and
select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the
entire letter into the computer's memory. STEP two: Open
a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'.
This will paste a copy of the letter into the notepad so
that you will add your name to the list. STEP three: Save
your new notepad file as a txt. File. If you want to do
your posting in different settings, you'll always have
this file to go back to. STEP four: Use Netscape or
Internet explorer and try searching for various new
groups (on- line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.) STEP five: Visit these message boards and
post this article as a new message by highlighting the
text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit
menu. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings
in a particular group, click the post message button.
You're done. You're done with your first one!!
Congratulations..........THAT'S IT!! All you have to do
is jump news groups and post away, after you get the hang
of it, and it will take about 30 seconds for each news
group. ***REMEMBER THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE
MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A
MINIMUM OF 200*** That's it!! You will begin receiving
money from around the world within days!! You may
eventually want to rent a PO Box due to large amounts of
mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you
can invent another name to use, as long as the postman
will deliver it. ***JUST MAKE SURE ALL ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT*** Now the why part: Assume for example you get a
7.5% return, which is very conservative. 1) When you mail
200 letters, 15 people will send you $1.00 2) Those 15
mails out 200 letters, 225 people will mail you $1.00 3)
Those 225 mails out 200 letters, 3,375 people will mail
you $1.00 4) Those 3,375 mails out 200 letters, 50,625
people will mail you $1.00 5) Those 50,625 mails out 200
letters, 759,375 people will mail you $1.00 By now your
name has dropped off the list, but so far you have
received at least $759,375.00!! With an original
investment of only $6.00!! AMAZING!! When your name is no
longer on the list, you take the latest posting in the
news groups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
posting again. You have to remember and realize that
thousands of people all over the world are joining the
Internet and reading these articles every day, JUST LIKE
YOU right now!!! So, you can $6.00 and see if it really
works?? People have said, "What if the plan is played out
and no one sends you the money?" So what!!! What are the
chances of that happening when there are tons of new
honest people who are joining every day and are willing
to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
users, every day, with thousands of those joining the
actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY AND HONESTLY and
this will really work. THANKS

- Windows XP Support >> File & Settings X-fer Wizard - Must DowngradeHi
I re-installed windows xp today, and decided to use the F&STW to make the
change. I saved the wizard data file to the 2nd hard drive on the pc. Then I
reformatted and installed XP on the C drive. I went ot re-install the files
using the wizard, and it says the wizard file was saved with an older F&STW,
and that I need to upgrade the original pc and re-do the transfer! I have
re-formatted that drive, so all I have is the wizard data file; please help -
I need to either find a way to re-install the older F&STW or hack the data
file so it looks like the right format and will work with the new wizard.
I've got lots of data and 5 years of mail in that file - I'd hate to lose it
all due to an "upgrade"...
Standing by for your good advice,

Yes. It's a security feature. I realise its inconvenient but before you
dismiss it as a total waste of time, think of all the fuss you've heard
about the "My Doom" virus in the news recently -- this virus totally relies
on people who blindly open everything they receive in an email, and the OE
attachment blocker would have stopped them from doing so if they were using
it.
You can turn it off by going into tools/options/security in the main outlook
express screen. Obviously having done this you should then take extra care
to only open attachments once you've made certain they are safe.

- Windows XP Update >> Windows Genuine Validation ToolHi, Just wondering how this new Validation works with the pirated corporate
copies of XP Pro?
Can you purchase a key from Microsoft online for $281 and it will work on
these copies of Pro?
I did one for a new customer last week using change product key from a XP
Pro SP-2 OEM and the key was rejected?
I have a copy of this corporate version running on my virtual pc for testing
purposes and the only thing that would work is doing a repair install and
using the key provided, is there a quicker way?
what is this KeyUpdateTool.exe used for?, I tried using it also and the key
was rejected is there a special key Microsoft provides you that will work?
What annoys me the most is as a system builder, I have had no warning or
information about this from Microsoft.

After looking everywhere on the Internet and in the KB, I had the
brilliant idea (OK! So sometimes I'm a little bit slow and backwards)
of using the system restore to go back to before the updates.
It works fine now. I am now using the custom update method (with
restore points in points in between) in an attempt to figure which
caused the problem.
If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
