- Windows XP Support >> activexI have my security setting (as suggested by MS) set so that the warning:
'your security setting do not allow web sites to use activex controls
installed on your computer...'
Clicking on this banner does not give the option al allowing THAT site to
use the activex controls - what settings will allow a happy medium?
There are some sited I trust (most I do not) so I would like the choice.
BTW I think that at some time I would get this warning and clicking on the
banner would allow me the choice of run activex or not.

this is basic troubleshooting and I'm stuck ? I've recently started to
update my computer with the SP2 and when I downloaded the files the box
requested to shutdown. upon restart the system hangs and the OS load is
incomplete. Now
I've have to find a way to get the box to start without losing any files.
This is my main box and it was upgraded from a ME operating system. I don't
have a CD to work with and I don't want to do a clean install. any help would
be greatly appriciated

- Windows XP Security >> Security Warning Re: HotMail After SP2 InstallI have downloaded and installed SP2. When I go to MSN and click on the
HotMail Link a Security Warning pops up and states that "The current web page
is trying to open a site in your Trusted sites list. Do I want to allow?".
The current site is loginnet.passport.com. The trusted site is
login.passport.net. Clicking yes takes me to the normal passport login.
Clicking no results in the page doing nothing. (Probably supposed to.)
I've added the loginnet.passport.com to my trusted sites, (and added it to
allowed popups in the popup blocker), but still get the popup each time.
I've checked the help pages and have found no information regarding this so
far. Is there a way to correct this so I don't see the warnng each time I
want to check email?

- Windows XP Security >> How do I fix Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-039 (824146)Does anybody know how to easily download patches without
using windows update? Whenever I go searching for a new
critical patch I get directed to windows update, but my
administrator blocks the port so that I get an "Access
Denied". It's almost impossible to actually find the
patch manually, even after I found the appropriate
security bulletin it only has a link to windows update.
The only patch I've ever been able to find is the one
that fixes MS Blaster because the patch executable file
was actually listed under available downloads. What's
the problem with microsoft here?

- Windows XP Update >> Pardon my bluntness, but...I am seeing all these errors with the February critical updates, then
I am seeing posts to go to such-and-such site to find out how to
_repair_ what MS update did to your computer.
Question: Why doesn't MS just make available an update that works??
I'm not downloading _any_ updates (especially the Windoes XP ones)
until I am _totally_ confident that:
a. I won't lose my internet connection
b. Won't have to visit 10 sites to correct _their_
error
c. Am confident that my anti-virus will still _work_ after an
update.
d. I'll take my chances on what I have now. To hell with MS.
Who do they think they are: God???

- Windows XP Security >> Why does a user ONLY in the Guests group have Users permissions?If I create a new user and make it a member of the Guests group and remove it
from the Users group (so that it is a member of the Guests group and no other
group) how come the new user has the "effective permissions" to a file system
object as if it was in the Users group? This is very odd behaviour.
I have a file system object that has an ACL with "full control" ACEs for
only SYSTEM, Administrators and OWNER, and a "read & execute" ACE for "Users"
and no other ACEs. The owner of the file is Administrator. If I check
"effective permissions" for my guest account it tells me it has "read &
execute". If I log on as the new guest I can read the file. What is going on?

- Windows XP Support >> Ethernet and Shut Down Fail from XP UpdateXP would not connect by ethernet card or shut down the first time I booted
after getting updates at the time I last shut down, about 0700 hours GMT
2/17/2007. I cut the power, rebooted and connected by dial up. After that,
shut down ran properly and I was able to reboot to full ethernet function.

up, as planned. However, when one is chosen, a password is
prompted and I don't know the password. When I
select 'hint', I still don't get the right answer. Is
there a default password that I can use to reset the
system? I can't use it right now at all

Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Can I delete all restore files from D drive-It's full.
I am in need of urget help before my PC dies. I have a Presario 56500NX with
partitioned drives. All of my programs and files are saved on C drive. C
drive capacity is 144GB, free space is 124GB with 86% free space. Drive D is
a totally different story! Capacity 5.14GB Free space is 982MB with only 18%
free space. I researched it, and on both drives did "disk cleanups", "file
compressions", uninstalled programs no longer used, defraged both drives,
deleted all "system restores" with exception of current date. I copied my 1
system restore to disks. Can I now go in and delete all the files on D
drive. HP support advised me to un-install my OS and reinstall. Will that
work??? I really don't want to hose my PC...I use my PC to work from home.
I am desperate for help!! :>(

What?
You need an external drive or a network - more than likely C and D are the
same physical drive and if you are trying to save data before a hard disk
drive - you don't want to do it to the same drive.

- Windows XP Support >> windows explorer keeps crashingI posted this a few other places but all answers I have recieved do not work.
Everytime I start up an error automatically pops up and says windows
explorer has encountered a problem and must close. So, if I click close well
it goes away for like 30 seconds then pops up again.
If I click send report It send a response, then the box closes and then
again it ops up. Let's say it is a never ending circle.
I have click on details and it does tell me that it has to deal with
explorer.exe
and also, tells me a file that is involved. I try to like get rid of that
file but Nothing will stay open long enough to do a thing.
There were other malfunctions along with this like windows installer auto
opens at start up, but I used some info somone in here gave me and it stopped.
I do not know if anything got downloaded in the past week,when this started,
I know where to check some places to see what new is downloaded. Could it be
something that was downloaded that I did not know and where are the places I
can look.
One day I did have a porn site shortcut on the desktop when I opened up but
I thought I deleted it all.
Would i help to do anything in Safe Mode or run some type of SFC scan
orwhatever?
Any?
