Legacy Operating Systems

I have auto update turned on in XP Pro SP3 Each time I shut down, I get an option to " install updates and shut down". The update is for a security update for Powerpoint viewer that i do not have on this machine. It keeps wanting to do the update but I am not sure how to delete. Any help is appreciated Jon

I posted a message re an 'auto update turned off' warning from Microsoft which persists .... and was told it was possibly a Trojan Vundo infection. I'm going to follow the tips provided for removal -- but if all else fails, will my problem be solved by a clean wipe of my hard-drive? I do have all XP discs, and all software applications safely filed away for re-use.

Re: Posting In The Future? OT Follow-up @DaffyD®... This line in your posts' headers have me a little puzzled: X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1933 Are you posting here using Win98(SE) or Windows 2000 Server?

Curently have 8gb system (basic) partition that needs extending. Can this be done? The HDs are not physically connected to the actual system. It uses shared storage located on an IBM AS/400. They allocate the space and I usually use diskpart to extend a data partition. Read a couple things and looks like system partition may be different. If it can't be, what are my alternatives? thanks

Currently the only way to see if there are errors in the event log i have to check the event log on all the servers manually. Is there a way to send out an email notification or some form of notification when critical errors occur like a hard drive failing?

Vista sp1, Server 2003 & 2008 dfs: The users have roaming profiles with the GP redirecting profile folders to a dfs location on the network \\domainname\dfsfilespace\Users\(username)\... profiles are also set to come from \\domainname\dfsfilespace\users\(username) recently redistributed locations on the server and now everthing has gone to crap. Users get messages at logon saying that the server copy of their profile has not been found and they will be logged on with a temporary profile, even though the network and folder appear available. Even moreso running a file sync gives hundreds of Access is Denied errors. This happens even for a newly…

Hi, I accidentally install fonts from a folder via an installer eg. c:\temp\testfonts\chlt.ttf Now is there any API or Windows function can I uninstall the font from this specific folder?

I use the beep and screen flash feature on the " caps Lock " button. I have a new computer (still running XP Pro) and cannot increase the PC sound. The slide is at the higest level and not muted in the PC sound in audio control. I cannot get the beep tone to change by any method. -- Reid

I have booted up in safe mode and that seems fine and takes a normal amount of time to get up and running but when I try to boot up through the normal login screen it takes forever as in grass grows faster. Once it gets to the screen where the users are listed, it virutally freezes. The color bar doesn't even move. You can here the HDD making a pattern of noises (dttt...dt, dt, dt, dt). It has done this for awhile and would evetually boot but now it takes 2 or 3 minutes just to get to the password window and it goes to sleep before it ever boots. It's a Compaq laptop that orignally had ME on it. It has a 20G hard drive and 256M of ram. It's been great for…

I'm trying to set up a AD-HOC connection between 2 laptops. Have a connection; just can't get them to share the internet. When I go into the Wireless Network Connection properties and attempt to check the box to allow other network users to connect to the internet I get this error "ICS can not be enabled due to an IP address conflict on the network" It appears that the address "192.168.0.1" is already in use. How can I check what/who is using this address? My desktop computer is connected to a wireless router that is using that address. If this is the problem; is it possible to change that address so that it becomes available for my AD-HOC connection. …

We use offline files to allow travelling users to access their data. However, when they connect to network to pick up email, Windows insists on connecting them to network version of offline files. This is too slow! They need to stay on Offline version of files, even when network connection is made. Is it possible to prevent synchronisation and auto connection of Offiline files? -- Patricia D

Round and round I go. It was broke essentially, but stuck with it. DriveImage 7.0 and its net framework that came with it, MS version 1.0. The imaging worked fine, its the verification that failed in many occasions. Usually, it was an onboard hard drive I was saving an image to where the verification failed. USB and Firewire connected hard drives, no problems. Yes, I checked the onboard hard drive with both 3rd party software, chkdsk, and disk scan. Many times, I thought I tracked down the problem, but shortly reoccurred again. Basically, the problem as it turns out is the updates to net framework 1.0, 2 updates so far. The fix, despite MS mislead…

I'm ;not exactly a newbie, but I'm kind of stupid regarding some things, so please bear with me. I'm planning to install WindowsXP SP2 on some new hardware with clean (unformatted, SATA) drives. The motherboard is an Abit AB9 Quad GT which will have an Intel Core2 quad processor. The logistics have me a little puzzled. I'm not sure if I have what I need to get through the installation without problems. My hard drive will be a SATA drive. At this point, I don't have any floppy drive (not sure if I need one). I have only an LG SATA DVD ROM optical drive. I know the motherboard supports SATA drives, but I'm pretty sure I need some software drivers as …

Good morning! I have posted this question to both the CRM and to the Terminal Server newgroups. Have a client who runs Windows 2003 Enterprise Terminal Server and has the CRM Client installed. Something like 45 users use this config. Someone (not me!!!!!!!) made the Domain Users group a member of the local Administrators group on the TS box. So, yes, anyone can technically shut down this TS box! Not good. I found this out yesterday while dealing with a printer issue. Anyway, I can not make any changes to this as - it is suspected - the reason for doing this (Domain Users - local Administrators group) was to be able to manage the CRM client (r…

Hi there, Is there a possible slowdown of an XP Pro machine by adding shortcuts to folders and adding shares of recently opened documents to My Network Places? If yes, then it is applicable for shortcuts to folders/ shares for both LAN reachable servers [100 Mbps] or only WAN servers through speeds less then 10 Mbps? Should I set up mapped drives instead? Thank you, T
