Computer wakes up from suspend - eventlog entry?
by Guest MikeB- 4 replies
- 204 views
My new computer keeps waking up from suspend. I'd suspend it, walk away and sometime when I pass by it's fully active. Not even the screensaver is in operation, it's showing the logon panel. I can't seem to find any entries in eventlog that would indicate the reason it woke up - should there be any?

Hello, Does anyone know if Windows defender will run with Windows XP 64? Also, any suggestions on which Internet Security software is compatable with and works best with Windows XP 64? I recently tried to update my Norton Internet Security 2006 to use with my new XP64 bit system and was told it is not compatable and neither is Norton 2007. I would like to use a Symantec virus protection product. I was directed to the Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.2 by the Symantec people any idea if this works?

winlogon.exe encountered a problem and needed to close
by Guest Heidi- 2 replies
- 169 views
When I log onto the computer, I get the message "winlogon.exe encountered a problem and needed to close. What is going on? Also, when I push the "log off" button on any user name, the computer restarts, rather than logging off to the screen with the different users. Or when I push "turn off", the computer also restarts. The only way that I can turn the computer off is to turn it off twice. Once, by having it restart, and then pushing the "turn off computer" button from the different users screen. Something is wrong, and I need help to correct it.

How can a custom bootable DVD be made in the event of a hard drive crash? I'd think this would be an important disc to have on hand. (Did I miss something in XP to do this?)

DSL disconnecting when switching users
by Guest Richard Fangnail- 1 reply
- 150 views
I'm sorry if this was already answered in the thread below, but my friend's computer sometimes has more than one user on it (Windows XP) and when it switched from one user account to another, DSL would no longer be on, so they had to reconnect, I think using Start> Connect To. This matter may be explained in the link below but if not, what was the problem? http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_thread/thread/314588605328ca6b/6de9f462b8f4af75?lnk=st&q=fangnail%2C+dsl&rnum=42#6de9f462b8f4af75

I seem to have lost a lot of files and I don't have a clue how! I went out for a couple of hours and when I got back they were gone although my daughter did try to ring me on Skype and now I have no skype either. I am devastated as I have lost all my photos in My Pictures folder and videos of all my childrens' birthdays. I have lost all my documents. All our email addresses have disappeared from the MSN start page and we now have to input each one. I seem to be missing folders too. I have gone to search and support centre and done everything they said and also done a system restore from last Sunday. Please help me!!

by Guest Charles Lee- 5 replies

Up until recently, my pc (PC1) accessed my network drive correctly along with 2 other pc's on my home network... Drive is a Targa NDAS 400... Now only PC2 & PC3 can access the drive as they always have... PC1 had an unrelated prob to which I did a repair install a couple of weeks back... I also fully updated it via MS update site too...
