- Windows XP >> working while dialing outI have IE6 and OE6 on two pc's, one running ME and the other running XP
Pro. On my ME machine, when I want to send a letter, I can open OE, click on
New Message and start composing my letter while it's dialing out. However
with my XP machine, OE freezes while it dials out and I have to wait until
the conection is made before I can start writing or do anything else.
It's a small matter, but if there's a solution I'd appreciate it.

- Windows XP >> Script to change time zone?Does anyone know of a script that will change the time zone of a

a script out there that will do this for me to speed up the process.

- Windows XP Network >> "Wireless Connection Unavailable" after Windows UpdatesOn a freshly installed Windows XP Pro system, I
installed, and had working, a Dell PCI Wireless Adapter
(802.11b) and it was working fine.
After doing "Windows Updates", It no longer connects to
this "unsecure" (no WEP etc.) network, and when I check
the box to allow me to connect anyway, it acts like it
will connect, but then simply goes back to "One or more
wireless connections available" without connecting to
it. As a temporary workaround, I've got a 100 foot Cat-5
cable strung around the edge of the house, but my room-
mates aren't happy with it.
Anyone know a resolution to this problem?

work in XP and I need the physical address of my network

Wireless network. Anyone know how to access this
information in XP?

- Windows XP Network >> Disable/Enable "Local Area Connection" using DEVCONHi,
I was following up on a different thread and need to disable/enable a
network connection, specifically "Local Area Connection" using a command line
utility so that I can package it in a batch file. It turns out that DEVCON
may be of help. A thread from 7/05 talks about it, but it doesn't go deep
enough to outline the way to get to the connection. The help for devcon is
not helping enough to suggest a way to isolate the connection.
Can someone with DEVCON experience suggest a way to disable the connection?
Novell has a utility called NETSHX that can do it for their networks. This
will probably be a nice tip for some people! WINDOWSITPRO seems to have an
article that covers this topic but it's for subscribers only. :-|
Thanks.

- Windows XP Network >> Connection ProblemsI have a cable modem connected to a Hub, and 2 computers
connected to the same Hub. Each computer has direct access
to the internet through the Hub and cable modem.(Not using
internet connection sharing)
My problem is this, the computers can ping each other
using their alternate IP addresses (192.168.0.3 and
192.168.0.4) but cannot connect to each other to share
files and printers.
When I try to view the workgroup I get an error
saying: "Workgroup is not accessible. You may not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available."
I have enabled NetBios in TCP/IP and made sure Computer
Browser was started on both machines, but I still get the
same error.
Anyones help in this situation would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks, Eric

- Windows XP Support >> lsass.exe help (might be sasser virus)Hi, I am having problems with Lsass.exe and hereâ??s the description of the
problem.
The system is shutting down... the shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY
SYSTEM"
The system process c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly
With status code -01073741819. The system will now shut down & restart."
I checked on the internet and everything points to it being some sort of the
sasser virus but hereâ??s the thing I donâ??t have any of the known programs
running in the task manger such as avserve.exe. I tried every single sasser
virus scanner and they fail to find anything. Also I check for agobot,
argobot, blaster, Welch, gaobot. And the anti-virus scanners canâ??t find
anything. I am running Windows Xp service pack 2 also I am behind the windows
firewall and I use AVG as my main antivirus scanner. I was wondering does
anybody else have any ideas before I smash this computer

Windows XP Support >> Can I make a backup copy of XP Pro SP2 CD?
Just in case the original gets damaged, is it allowed to copy the CD?
I just tried Nero Express and got unrecoverable errors towards the end
(simulated burn).
It's a full retail version, so I guess should the original be damaged I can
ask MSFT for a replacement?

You're generally allowed to keep one backup copy for just that purpose,
as long as you don't use the backup copy and original at the same time,
or install on more than one computer.
I'm not affiliated with Microsoft or a lawyer, but that's how I
understand copyright law.

Thanks. I was concerned about those error alerts I got, wouldn't that
render the backup useless?

Finally did it using Alex Feinman's Iso Recorder. Can't imagine why Nero
6.6 had such a problem.

- Windows XP >> Slave drive not initialized after xp reinstall. Contains data!I have two WD 40g drives. Both were working fine, but I needed to do a clean xp reinstall on drive c. Backed up Important files to slave, and reinstalled xp. Slave shows in bios and disk mangement: "Disk 1 unknown 37.27 gb not initialized. Unallocated. This slave was previously partioned in dos with the western digital data lifeguard tools as NTFS so I can't get to it in dos. Of course, I need the data on the drive. I have searched the net amd this forum without locating a solution this particular problem, other than an accurate mention on the WD site pointing me to Microsoft.
How can I initialize this drive or otherwise have it recognized by windows without loosing data?
Will using the initialize feature of disk mangement destroy the data?
What is the best way to retrieve this data?
Thank you

- Windows XP >> Missing 16-bit system moduleHi
I have the Windows XP Home Edition SP1 Upgrade
When I try to load a New CD program I receive the following message:
NTVDM KERNEL: Missing 16-bit system module.
Please re-install the following module to your system32 directory:
VGA.DRV
I Updated the ATI Drivers in the Device Manager, Display adapters.
That did not solve the problem.
Now What should I do?
Thanks for your assistance!

- Windows XP Setup >> NIS 2003 on SP2 and Restore Points failI am building a new system. In installed Windows XP Pro + SP1a, then
installed SP2 and lots of other software.
Finally, I installed Norton Internet Security 2003 with AntiVirus 2003.
The installation process created a system restore point as usual. I
ran LiveUpdate iteratively after the installation to bring everything
up to date.
The next morning, I tried to create a restore point manually. The
process of creating the restore point hung part way through and could
not be cancelled or completed. I had to kill it from the task manager.
I also tried to install another product. That installation too hung
while creating a restore point. Installation could not be cancelled
and I had to kill it too with the task manager.
I then tried to uninstall NIS but the uninstall hung. Perhaps it too
wanted to do something with restore point support?
Finally, I disabled the System Restore feature, uninstalled NIS,
reenabled System Restore, and am now able to create restore points and
install products without any problem.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to resolve it?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Your System has no paging file and more errosI reinstalled XP from my cd, to repair after having the
sasser worm. Now I get "your system has no paging
file..etc" when loading my personal settings. Then when
my desktop appears, after clicking ok, I get "Norton
Protection: Attention: access denied drive c" then I
get "c:\windows\system32\keyhost.htm not found".
I followed the steps in Knowledge base article #315270,
but it did not correct the paging file error. I don't
know what kind of Intel chipsets I have so I did not try
article # 316528.
Any advice on how to correct. In another newsgroup I saw
some advice to correct by uninstalling the Intel
application accelerator, but I am not sure about what
that is or how to do it.

- Windows XP Support >> Unreadable Text In Windows XP Home EditionThis problem is kind of hard to explain. I'll do my best to keep it short. I
ran cleanup on my system the other day and since then I haven't been able to
read the text on my computer. It's in some strange language that is very
unreadable. For example the Start Button looks something like this ( ? ^ v x
^ ) I don't know how I got into this mess or how to get out of it because
everthing is unreadable. The only time I can read the text is when I'm on web
pages. I went by memory and uninstalled the video card driver but that did
not work. I tried restore but while I was in the process of running clean up,
I deleated all but the most recent restore point. And the most recent restore
point comes up unsuccessful everytime I try. Thanks for reading this and I
hope somebody out there can help.

This problem is more of a nusisance than anything else. Whenever I boot up
the settings are fresh and default. Any changes I have made before pwering
down are lost. It asks me if I want a tour of XP! No I don't !
Any help would be most appreciated.
