Windows automatic updates stuck in loop
by Guest Scott-az- 3 replies
- 252 views
Hi, I'm having a problem with the Windows automatic updates. Every time I turn off my computer, it alerts me that there are updates and then proceeds to install 15 updates. This is occurring every time. I also noticed that system checkpoints are being created daily. Any ideas on what is wrong on how to fix it? Windows XP Pro sp 2, Pentium 4 2.80 GHz 1.00GB RAM

Add User

I am trying to add a user profile on my computer. Everything goes fine until I try to activate an email account. I put in the user name, in and out address, etc., but the program locks up before the email activates. I have deleted the user and tried adding another a number of times, with the same result. Any suggestions.

WinXp computer kicked off network.
by Guest Lvdarkwolf- 5 replies

We have dozens of computers acting strangly. They are all connected to the domain as setup as any other computer is. For some reason though they will simply go into "network death" there network cards seems to simply turn off, looking at the network switch they will be unseen there as well. As soon as we reboot or moved the network cable to another port they will come live again. The only fix we have found is to join the computer to a workgroup and then readd it to the domain. I know i've had this happen previously with embedded windows systems but never full towers before. Does anyone know what would suddenly cause this sickness?

I have a problem with SP3 involving the Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder. With SP2 this was installed by downloading a hot fix KB922120. When I applied SP3 everything worked normally. But on one system I reinstalled XP SP2 and applied SP3 without KB922120 (since it is suppose to be contained in SP3) and I can not find the LLTD. Does anyone konw how to enable this? This enables the XP machine to appear on the network map of a Vista system. Thanks. -- Paul

Re: Restore default policies

Re: Restore default policies System Restore to when it was correct? With the caveat that it will roll back everything to that point in time, obviously. Or, you could just temporarily roll back, and note the settings, and then undo it and apply those settings afterwards. > Tyler Durden wrote: >> What is the fastest method to restore default gpedit.msc and secpol.msc >> settings? >> >> Thanks.

Internet Connection Sharing
by Guest ~~Alan~~- 6 replies

I have some time on my hands in addition to an older system and some other things. I want to build a router that will also act as a server/firewall among other things. I am thinking of building an XP system and configuring ICS or Internet Connection Sharing. This will require two LAN adaptors, one of which will be connected directly to my cable modem (WAN) and the other will have a hub connected to it for my LAN. On this machine, I want to: 1. connect a printer to share to my LAN, and 2. connect some external USB disk drives for file sharing on the LAN. 3. install anti-virus software and not have to run it on my other systems. 4. configure this appli…

Is Offline Files the best option?
by Guest Ed from AZ- 7 replies
- 341 views
Management has decided we need to keep all our files on the server. Not a problem - except when the server is "unavailable" and we can't do anything! Is "Offline Files" the best option for making Word and Excel files available for editing when the server goes out so they can be updated when it comes back? What happens to the stability of the file if more than one user makes edits to the copy on their machine? Ed

when moving cursor it will stop for 2-3 sec then move for 1-2 sec then stop again. - mostly happens when it has been sitting idle for a long time. rebooting system will fix it for a while when it happens I get some strange messages from my desktop that something is trying to communicate using a strange protocol and on an invalid address. my router fills up with logon attempts from the laptop even though the laptop is logged on and connected. DTC's is spiking CPU usage to 89% - on the desktop max is < 1% service.exe is reaching 5.3% and the desktop is < 1% what is going on.
