Installing FTP service without Windows Component Wizard
by Guest brunoleveille@hotmail.com- 0 replies
- 127 views
Hi all, I would like to know how I could install the FTP service and have it work without using the Windows Component Wizard. I did come close, I had the FTP service to show and I was able to run ftp in console but I couldn't start the FTP service. Anyone know some kind of guide or maybe (but I would be surprise) a installer to install the FTP service. Thanks,

User profiles being changed on the fly on bootup
by Guest PeterBBailey- 0 replies
- 139 views
I'm using Vista, but, a lot of the employees in my department are still using XP. Sometimes a user will log in and they'll notice that they've lost their desktop icons, and, they've lost all their IE favorites. If I look into their Documents and Settings folder, I'll see a new profile created. Originally their profile was named with their username plus a dot, then the name of the domain. For example: "pb4072.intdom." That's my profile folder name. Now, sometimes, a user logs in and suddenly, they have a new profile. So, in the example I gave above, instead of "pb4072.intdom," it's just "pb4072" as the name of the profile. This is incredible, and frustratin…

I used to get pop-up calendar reminders when booting up WXPSP2. There was a reinstall of XP several months ago after my hard drive crashed. Before that I depended on the pop-up reminders. How can I get XP/Works Calendar to resume that action? Thanks for the help. deano77.

by Guest Jess- 0 replies

I've been plagued by an "System Error: lsass.exe : Object Name Not Found" message that causes my computer (WinXP Home Edition SP2) to restart in an endless loop (3 times in 2 weeks!) and the only solution is to format the drive and reinstall. I have just done that but am paranoid the machine will recieve the error on the next restart. Heres the backstory: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support&tid=49ee0155-3c50-4d67-93aa-b737346dbedd&cat=en-us-ms-winxp&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 A user suggested this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/88326…

IP email sender

I login to my old parents with "Remote Desktop" to watch them on the camera but problem is that their IP address changes frequently. I need some software that would email me every now and then their current address automatically. I know that there are services that do it also but I prefer a software or some utility. Is there some freeware(or shareware) doing that? Regards Jino

Stop XP from resize windows when "screen" is locked/unlocked?
by Guest Ola S from Sweden- 0 replies
- 144 views
I open some applications in XP and move the application windows as I like them and some parts of the windows are outside the screen. If the screen is locked/unlocked (password required to have access to the computer again after the screensaver has been activated) the windows with some parts outside the screen is automatically resized so all parts of these window are within the screen. In my case I have two screens and resize/locate an application over both of the screens. But every time the screen is locked/unlocked the application window will resized and fit only to one of the screens. So I have to resize it again. And as I have requirement from the c…

Does setting up Message Rules in OE6 work for Spam Control?
by Guest p.jayant- 1 reply
- 159 views
I have set up rules in O E 6, asking O E to delete all messages which have words like Viagra, Cialis, Antarin, Swiss watches or Lottery either in Subject or in the Message content. But I still get messages from spamsters offering various products and services. I wonder, if there are any settings besides those which pop up in the box in response to the command "Create Rule from Message". I have filled up all the information and specified the actions required by O E but the spam doesn't stop. Some spamsters even have the cheek to use my own username as Sender with some fake e-mail address. Can't govt. agencies detect these spamsters and the judiciary impose exemp…

wbk668_bogus[1]
by Guest Smirnoff- 1 reply
- 141 views
Lately I've been getting a number of files ending _bogus[1] (as above) in C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\0A70TSU1. I did a quick google and they appear to be Word back up files. Weird and wonderful things often appear in TIF but I am concerned about the _bogus[1] ending. Have Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, SuperAntispyware, Spywareblaster, Windows Defender etc., all up-to-date and run regularly. Anybody seen this "bogus" tag before?
