- Windows XP Security >> FirewallsWith Windows XP Pro there's a built-in firewall. I'm
told that it's not enough and that I should install a
personal firewall. I'm also told that Kerio Personal
Firewall works well with the Windows built-in one and
would be a Plus. What do YOU think? 2 firewalls????
Thanks Clo

- Windows XP Support >> Cant get rid of 'no name' folderI use XP and when I started up my machine today...I found a empty "no name"
folder on the desktop. I keep a 'clean' desktop and do not put icons on the
desktop....so this was (is) very very strange to me.
I tried to delete it and it would not go away. I tried holding the
ctrl+delete and it would not go away. I tried going into safemode+delete and
it still would not go away. It is there. Normally you can not create a 'no
name' folder on the desktop, in the first place, so I have no idea how it
even was created!
I have been using dos,win 3.1,win 98se,wn 2000 and for many years XP....but
this has me confused. Can anyone help?!?

- Windows XP Network >> Disabling route cachingIs there a way to disable route caching in Windows XP? We have 4
sites connected with redundant links. We have configured our Cisco
routers to automatically failover to the redundant link should the
primary fail. The failover works. The issue we are having is XP
creates a route cache that can be seen when running "route print". If
I failover one of the WAN links, the XP station is not able to connect
until I remove the "dynamic route" in the routing table. After I
delete the "dynamic route" the XP station is able to connect. Also if
I re-enable the WAN link, the XP station continues to use the
secondary link until I go back and remove the "dynamic route". Any
one have any luck in disabling this feature in XP? I have tried
looking in the newsgroups but am not able to see any related posts.

- Windows XP Hardware >> AC and Battery DriversI am pretty sure my battc.sys and cmbatt.sys files are
screwed up. I found them on my Configuration Builder
(restore) CD, but I need a password to unzip them.
My symptoms are that I cannot use my battery for more that
a few seconds when I unplug my notebook. Also, when the
battery is installed I cannot shutdown
cleanly...everything seems to stall. Finally, in my power
monitor, I show no profiles and I cannot create
any...everything is grayed-out. In the power monitor, the
battery is present and not-present every few seconds when
it is in the machine.
If I am able to unlock the files from my CD, I assume I
can just substitute them for what I think are the
corrupted ones in the system32\driver directory...right?
Is there any other way to obtain these drivers?
Regards,
JOE

- Windows XP >> La UE amplía su investigación antimonopolio sobre Intel y añade a Media MarktLa Comisión Europea ha ampliado su investigación antimonopolio sobre Intel
para ver si convenció a un vendedor de componentes electrónicos de excluir
a su rival Advanced Micro Devices, anunció un portavoz de la Comisión.
La investigación de la relación entre el fabricante de chips Intel y la
empresa alemana de Metro AG, Media Markt, que hasta ahora había sido
realizada por la agencia nacional de la competencia, la Bundeskartellamt,
comenzó tras una queja de AMD.
"Hemos actuado conjuntamente con la Bundeskartellamt y tomamos la decisión
de que esto tendría más sentido si de esos cargos se encargase la Comisión
Europea", dijo el portavoz Jonathan Todd.
Todd añadió que la transferencia se ha hecho "teniendo en cuenta que (las
acciones sospechosas) parecen pertenecer a una serie de prácticas que ya
están siendo examinadas por la Comisión".
La agencia germana también confirmó que el caso había sido transferido.
La Comisión, el brazo ejecutivo de la Unión Europea, ya está comprobando si
Intel presionó a los fabricantes de ordenadores para impedir que AMD se
hiciese con parte del mercado.
Pero la cadena electrónica Media Markt tiene almacenes en muchos países
europeos y la Comisión ha recibido quejas sobre el comportamiento del
minorista en esos estados, dijeron fuentes cercanas al caso.
La Bundeskartellamt había investigado las acusaciones de que Media Markt
había llegado a un acuerdo con Intel para excluir de sus tiendas los
equipamientos, especialmente ordenadores, que incluyesen semiconductores
fabricados por AMD.
En julio, la Bundeskartellamt recibió una denuncia de AMD por el
comportamiento de Intel.
El presidente de la Bundeskartellamt Ulf Boege dijo en julio durante una
aparición con el Comisario de Competencia de la UE Neelie Kroes que las
quejas podrían remitirse a Bruselas si la agencia encontraba que estaban
fundadas.
Intel y AMD son los únicos fabricantes de los chips que forman parte de la
unidad de procesamiento central de más de 500 millones de ordenadores
Windows en todo el mundo, pero Intel controla el 80 por ciento del mercado.
La Comisión había investigado si Intel estaba usando prácticas ilegales
contra la competencia para seguir liderando el sector.
El mayor fabricante de chips del mundo anunció este mes que eliminaría
10.500 puestos de trabajo, el 10 por ciento de su plantilla, para hacer
frente al aumento de la competencia de AMD.
Pero AMD se ha quejado a la Comisión de que, aunque con altibajos, Intel
había usado tácticas ilegales para evitar que pudiese conseguir más del 20
por ciento de cuota de mercado.

- Windows XP Hardware >> No sound after formatting! PLEASE HELPCan someone explain how I can get my audio system to work
again?
I just finished formatting my computer and now my
speakers won't work. I went to the device manager and
noticed that there is a yellow exclamation mark beside
Multimedia Audio Controller and Universal Serial Bus
(USB) Controller. When I clicked on them, it says my
drivers haven't been installed.
How do I install the drivers? My speakers are from Altec
Lansing (ACS21W/ACS22). I also have a CD that came with
my computer. It is labelled as an Upgrade Kit V 1.7 and I
have installed the Sis Utility Tray from it (including
something called PCI Sound?). I just have no idea what to
do next.

- Windows XP Update >> problem with Windows Update, not related to WGAI support about 9 or 10 computers on a small LAN, all running XP Pro.
Two of the computers always fail to install updates. The updates
download but always fail with an error code that is never listed in
the KB.
The only thing unique about these two computers is that they were set
up to allow Symantec WinFax Pro fax sharing server to run and allow
connections from other clients to that service.
The modifications involved making some changes to the settings for
certain DCOM rights.
I even tried to update to WGA and that install failed and now the
computer is acting very strange with Explorer (shell) locking up and
other issues which may or may not be related to WGA failing to
install.
In addition, after the computer has been up for a day or so, maybe
less, there is a svchost listing in Task Manager that shows using
almost all available CPU and when I shut down Windows Update service,
that entry goes away. Something has the WU all bound up but I don't
know what.
I'd like to get information that would enable me to troubleshoot the
issue... I really need these two computers to get back on track with
updates, etc... when I download the updates and apply them manually,
they always work so it is just a problem with WU from what I can tell.
I'd appreciate any help...

- Windows XP Setup >> setup is being restartedHi all,
I had trouble try to repair my Windows XP pro.
Yesterday, I had the problem with my comp. It just hung
while I was trying to turn it off.
Then, I tried to restart the machine, and it said the file
hal.dll is missing or corrupted. So.. I copied this file
from another machine and put to system32 folder, and it
still couldn't boot.
So, I decided to use the CD to re-install using repair mode.
Then, the machine can boot. However, after the black screen
with XP logo, it went to blue screen with the words "setup
is being restarted..." then restarted again and again..
What does this mean?? and how to fix this thing? and what
is the hal.dll file for??
sorry for a bunch of questions. Thanks a million guys...

Sounds like a tilde. Same character that is to the right of the 1 key on
the keyboard? The file is a copy of your OE address book. Normally this is
created in the same folder as the *.wab file but due to one of the Windows
updates it shows up on the desktop instead. Just delete the file. Your real
address book is safe.

- Windows XP Network >> XP SP1, Fax service, and Proxy 2.0 client don't work togetherThe XP SP1, XP Fax service, and Proxy 2.0 client don't
work together. Any combination of two works fine. But add
any third and the computer continually reboots. I can't
find anything in the knowledge base about it. I have to
use the Proxy client, so my options are to not use the Fax
service or not to install any XP patches. I'm behind a
firewall, so I might just leave off the patches. Unless I
can find a fax servce to use instead of XP Fax. I've
heard that Winfax for XP is nothing but problems so I'd
like to stay away from that.
If you have a good answer, please reply to
