- Windows XP Network >> VPN server unable to disconnectI have a home VPN--Desktop (DT) as server and Laptop (LT) as client. The DT
is hard wired through a router, the LT is wireless through the router, and
the connection works very well in both directions. The problem starts when
the LT disconnects from the VPN, the DT then is unable to make a standard
internet connection. The Cntl Panel>Network Connection shows connected
however, I get the "cannot connect etc" when trying. I work around this by
rebooting and then everything works fine. Suggestions as to how to fix this
problem.

- Windows XP Setup >> Sysprep Mini-setup mangles Boot.iniI use Altiris Deployment server to deploy images. I was forced inot using
Sysprep by XP SP2. After syspreping and pulling the image I can check the
boot.ini file and it is correct, but after deploying the image it runs
through the mini-setup and cannot find the Windows forlder onthe last reboot.
When I looked at the Boot.ini file it is missing part or all of the text. I
have overcome this wiht server deployed images by copying the Boot.ini file
in as part of the final configuration, but when pulling the image I have to
boot to another OS (WinPE) and copy a new Boot.ini in. Has anyone else had
this problem? Does anyone have any idea where I might be making a mistake?

- Windows XP Support >> Export e-mail from Outlook?...I have been using Outlook for quite a while now and have always exported to
a CVS or Excel file when backing up. It's not bad, but viewing e-mail on a
spreadsheet and losing all the attached files is not the best solution.
Are there any good solutions out there? I have a "Save Mail" folder I'd like
to back up every so often and be able to search and read through it. Even if
it exports all the e-mails into one long document, or PDF, that would be
great. Ideally I would like to save the attachments too but that is less
critical.
I believe Outlook stores in mbox format? So maybe a tool that works with
that. Or with Outlook's archive format. Anyway...just looking for a good way
to export all my emails to a normal readable file..thanks!

- Windows XP >> IE7 - should I "upgrade"I've been keeping half an eye on IE7, (I understand it went "final" a little
while ago ?), I haven't been offered it via automatic updates, (I have that
set to download updates but, let me choose when to install them etc.), so
does IE7 come along by itself or do I manually have to go and get it ?
Should I bother to get it ?
Will security patches continue to be released for IE6 ?
Obviously I would Ghost my drive before installing it, in case it decides to
be unhappy implanting itself in my Windows XP Home ed. platform that's
oldish ! ...damn! no label on my drive C:\ ...I always label my boot-drive
with the date" ...anyone know how I can find out when I installed XP Home
ed. the last time ?

Windows XP >> Backup not backing up
Okay, maybe I'm missing something here. I have an HP
C1553A 24X6 DAT tape library, installed in a stand-alone
server running XP SP1 and all the upgrades, and trying to
back up local and network files. The Backup runs, but
the only thing that it recorded to tape are the folders
themselves, and not the files within, which does me no
good. ANy ideas? I've checked every possible setting,
and nothing looks like it is out of line.
Please email to EMail@HideDomain.com as I'm rarely on these
forums.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Windows XP >> Backup not backing up
Do the backup logs show any errors in them?
Are you using the wizard to run the backups or advanced mode?

- Windows XP >> Windows UpdateI try to use the Windows Update feature on my computer

- Windows XP >> One specific CD won't autorunI was trying to install "Escape from Monkey Island" when it froze
after I switched CDs as the install wizard instructed. I had to reboot
by laptop to close the install window. But now the Monkey Island CDs
won't autorun. Any other CD I place in the drive autoruns just fine.
I cannot complete the install of Monkey Island. I have tried running
the setup.exe directly, but the install fails because I have to swap
the disks to complete it.
What I want to do is figure out what is blocking the autorun and get
rid of that.
Anyone have any ideas?

- Windows XP >> Systray icons missing. WMI error report. Relation to past post.I reported on trouble using intel network card driver and WMI.
http://groups.google.com/group/intel.network.adapters/browse_frm/thread/b520d7f96c02de65/0bdb1be4f99a578c?tvc=1&q=WMI#0bdb1be4f99a578c
Another syndrome is that icons in systray don't get displayed beyond a
firts couple, or after loading the icon for network card activity.
This is widely reported type of problem - missing systray icons,
reported here:
http://winhlp.com/node/16
I solved the problem thereof by hiding UPNP icons via My Network
Places.
Now if you review the numerous error logs in the past post you can see
the relation of this error with icons and the error of getting stuck
WMI during authorization. After failure to authenticate no further
icons are loaded.

- Windows XP Security >> How to hide administrator nameIn order to improve security, it is possible to rename Administrator account
in an Windows XP system. But everytime a user choose "Run as.." to open an
application, the (renamed) name of the administrator is shown to her/him. Is
there a way to prevent this?
TIA,
Rosivaldo.

- Windows XP Security >> Administrator access, after applying fix MS07-017 & MS07-08My PC was working ok, until I installed the security update 925902 (MS07-017)
AND 928843 (MS07-008). I then received the error message
"The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application
will not run properly. The relocation occured because the DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\HHCTRL.OCX occupied an adress range reserved for Windows
system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL".
I've downloaded the fix provided via 935448 and the error message has gone.
Unfortunately, I now have the situtation where, from turning on the PC to
getting the home page and icons etc, takes about 4 minutes. I'm unable to log
onto the internet, but if call up the Task Manager and shut down via Log off
Administrator, the PC immediately restarts and the internet works
immediately. Does anyone know what may have happened, or what I need to do to
correct this?

- Windows XP Security >> need access to user (not administrator) settings with runasWe have a Windows 2003 domain with Windows XP workstations.
We have a group policy in place that restricts users from accessing
the Internet Properties page.
We are now adding some new settings to the GPO that will change
various settings in Internet Properties.
I would like to be able to check to see that the changes have gone
through, and to see what settings are in place in the users computers.
My problem is that when I use right-click and shift Internet Options
in the control panel and choose Run As, and enter the user name and
password of an administrator, I get the Internet Properties of the
administrator. This is obviously not helpful as I'm looking for the
user's settings.
I have tried using the runas command from the command line, but
neither the /env or /noprofile switches prevent me from still getting
the administrator's settings.
Even if i run regedit (which is also blocked for users) using the
administrators credentials I get the registry entries under Current
User for the administrator.
As we are just beginning to implement Group Policy restrictions, I can
see this being a problem with many settings that are user specific.
Does anyone know a way to allow access to restricted applications and
control panel applets, while still showing the settings of the logged
in user?

Both systems have more than enough "resources" available.
Both systems run XP Pro and have all the latest updates.

What's going on with the Copy/Paste routine ?

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> movie maker has encountered a problemThe OS version got unreliable, bought a copy of the media
CD, and finally downloaded it from BS (oops MS). I can
import the clip, but at the first sign of editing or
saving. "MM has encountered a problem... yada yada."
Ive sent at least 20+ reports (HAH), and as yet
nothing.Its bad enough having to buy a replacement of an
included application, but jeez, you'd think it would at
least work. Ive tried deleting, reinstalling, BS windows
updates, and I'm at a loss. And its not like I can get a
refund for my whopping digital eXPerience CD. I've got
nearly 80 hrs of vid to review and burn. I've tried 3rd
party apps with poor results. Ive seen what it can do
when it works and im almost impressed. I guess Quality
control doesn't mean much to BS

- Windows XP Setup >> Home XP network event id 534I have a small network with two W98 PCs and a Windows XP Home Edition
machine. When I am trying to access shared resources from the 98s to XP Home
it wants me to provide a password for IPC$.
I have also a Event ID 534 in the Security Log. "The user has not been
granted the requested logon type at this machine." in The Security Log of XP
Home.
This think happen after a worm attack to the XP machine.
Until now I have already done:
Remove the worm successfully
Apply SP2
Any kind of firewall is disabled.
On XP Home computer at (Lsa) registry: Restrictanonymous = 0,
Restrictanonymoussam = 1 forceguest: 1
Enable the quest account
Running again the Network Setup Wizard
Use "Simple File Sharing" was turned on
but cannot solve this problem.
If anyone has some suggestions for this I'll be greatly appreciated!
