I'm running XP Home / SP3. All up to date. Avira and ZA free versions in use. Long story short, my 'explore tree' now includes folders My Docs, Shared, Guest and my personal user Doc folders. Below these, I have 'My Network Places' expanded to MS Terminal Svcs - MS Windows Network - Web Client Network and 'My Web Sites on MSN' ...Also unable to block IP range and port selections. At Dos prompt, "netstat -ab" shows misc. TCP listening/active IP's that are all over the board. Wait 30 sec's and poof, their gone. The baytest MS are a given, I understand......right? On top of all this, I have netbios txt files that contain 'not normal' characters/…

Re: Contacts & Signatures Won't Stick I import a *.WAB file and everything goes smoothly. Than I exit WLM and when I open it up again all the contacts have disappeared and I'm told I have zero contacts in that account. -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor > "Kelly" <kelly@kelly.com> wrote in message > news:BF769E3F-3BBB-4511-B188-DCCAF52A5393@microsoft.com... > >> The Dutch version has some problems with this issue according to >> Jonathan Kay. >> >> -- >> >> All the Best, >> Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) >> >> Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! >> http://www.kelly…

Relakks, VPN, and svchost.exe
by Guest Bruno- 1 reply
- 204 views
Hi, Whenever I use Windows XP SP2 with the VPN provider Relakks (https://www.relakks.com/), one instance of svchost.exe crashes (1) after a few minutes. The VPN connection was created using the Windows New Connection Wizard. I didn't install any VPN programs. If I double click on the VPN connection icon in the system tray after svchost.exe has crashed, the status window pops up then immediately disappears. Even if I restart the services manually (except for "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)"--I get an "access denied" error message when I try to restart it), I have only a very limited access to the Internet (web downloads started …

Can I save my system files on a DVD?
by Guest Carrie- 22 replies
- 739 views
Just spent the last few days getting an error message on dialup (I wrote about in another post, resolved by putting in a new modem) but got me to thinking... When I got my DELL XPS 400 (has Win XP "media edition" I think is "professional"?) I didn't get a restore or backup WIN cd with it. Apparently they stopped giving them with it, and said you don't need it, the restore files are built in. After having the problem with error message, involving a system file (though replacing the modem fixed it, the file involved was in drivers IN the system files) I'm wondering if and how I can save the system files? I had tried this before, the folder i386. It's too big for a cd …

Quick Launch icons randomly changed and odd program doubles
by Guest Canid- 6 replies
- 319 views
I've been getting a couple annoying glitches for the past few months on my copy of Wndows XP Pro. I doubt they are related, but I'll address them both at once... One thing that has happened several times, is I will log in to find the Quick Launch icons randomly reassigned. If I right click and select properties, the correct icon is shown in the "[show Desktop, Mozilla Firefox, Windows Live Messenger, etc] Properties" box. They will be back to normal when the computer is restarted, but while I'm using it, the only way to get the correct icon back is to create a new Quick Launch entry for each item. The other glitch may or may not be Windows' fault. I'm getti…

Explorer not functioning
by Guest Sam- 5 replies
- 288 views
Hi, I got some kind of nasty virus on my machine so I ran Ad-Aware with its anti-virus engine to remove it. It found it and needed a restart and to run before Windows loaded in order to completely remove it. Somehow, the virus corrupted Ad-Aware and made it delete explorer.exe instead of the virus. The computer and settings load normally but when I try to log on it immediately logs back off. I tried doing a repair install of Windows, and it did absolutely nothing. I even tried reinstalling Windows in another folder (I don't want to lose my documents and pictures), but from the new installation I don't have access to any of the files from the other …

change file names in folder
by Guest TomC- 7 replies
- 314 views
I have scanned many documents and saved them in a folder. Little did I realize at the time that the file name that was generated places semicolons in the time field. Now I need to copy these folders to a disk, and the software tells me that semicolons cannot be a part of the file name. Is there some way I can globally eliminate the semicolons in each file name in the folder or will I have to manually change every file name individually? Thanks for any help you can give me. Tomc

I know I can delete the data currently saved in the autcomplete feature but I would like to edit it. If I mispell on an attempt to "login" it will save this as a future option which I do not want obviously. At other times the selection I would like to have is not available? I would like to be able to edit the data in the drop pick box, is this an option?
