Hello, I have a client who is missing the Firewall link in Security Center. The other two are in place and firewall.cpl works fine from run. I've tried the online utility from, I believe, secsecurity but that doesn't work. How do I restore the icon and link for the Windows Firewall in Security Center? Thanks, -- Dennis

Since the last Windows XP updated, my computer always starts doing a check disk to E disk, no anormal phrases when chkdk starts . My unique hard drive is partitioned in 3 C,D, and E, my program files are in C and D&E are for personal files. I tried to make some checkpoint restores before last windows update and these failed because after of restart the system says it couldn't do it. I also tried to make a defragmentation and I couldn't because the system says that I have scheduled a check disk. I would like to know how I undo this check disk command

After XP SP2, firewire keeps dropping devices, any ideas?
by Guest John J- 4 replies

Hi, Ever since I installed XP SP2, my external Firewire HD and camcorder connect/disconnect endlessly. If just one is plugged in, all is well. Before SP2, I could do this with no problem having them both hooked up. When I try to capture video from my cam while the external hard drive is plugged in, it sometimes will capture 5, maybe 20 minutes of video, then disconnects the hard disk randomly. This happens in Microsoft movie maker, and also in Avid Xpress Pro. It also does it if I have my external disk and an ADS Pyro analog/dv converter box hooked up to firewire. If I uninstall SP2, things go back to normal, but all my programs need SP2 now like …

Re: Can't post a new topic on newsgroups After reading through this thread I'm not sure I understood what the solution is. I, too am having this problem. I'm using XP, IE 6.0. I can reply to a post but when I click on "NEW" nothing happens. My popups are turned off. I tried the "poo" rename thing, too. The other thing that happens is when I click on a topic the post doesn't appear in the right panel. I have to double click on it to read it. I have the same setup at my office...XP Pro and IE 6 and everything works fine. It must be some IE setting. Any ideas? "Vanguard" wrote: > "Nelda" <Nelda@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in mes…
