Hello all, I'm having a problem with synchronising offline files and having the encryption option enabled at the same time. I get an "Access is Denied" error. If I don't have the encryption option enabled, the files will synchronise without error. Does anyone have any possible resolutions? Environment- XP SP2 and windows server 2003 SP1. Thanks

XP Pro computer w/ all the updates except IE7. When you put your mouse over some of the links on the pages, the pages open up, but others (majority) don't. It is like there is a pop-up blocker or something blocking the pages from opening from the links. Is there something I can do to correct this (other than a rebuild)? Is there a setting that will correct this? HELP!!!

Recovery with broken DVD drive
by Guest jah191@gmail.com- 5 replies

I have a Toshiba a a25-s207 running Windows XP. Toshiba included the recovery disk on a DVD which includes a fresh windows install as well as all the drivers required by the laptop. Unfortunately it seems as if my DVD/CD drive laser is malfunctioning. While the drive still reads CD, it refuses to read any DVDs. I believe the drive has two different lasers/circuits so perhaps the DVD one is fried. Anyway, what is the best way to obtain a relatively clean install of XP without being able to use my recovery drive?

.NET 1.1 Security Update Won't Install
by Guest David Owens- 6 replies

I can't get the .NET 1.1 SP1 security update to install. It fails every time. I tried just uninstalling .NET 1.1 because I don't have any software that needs it, but for some reason Windows Update still keeps nagging me about installing the security update, even with .NET 1.1 not installed. Is there a way to completely clean out whatever leftover parts of .NET 1.1 are still there? I found a MS Knowledge Base article about manually uninstalling .NET but it wanted me to also uninstall 2.0. Windows XP wouldn't let me uninstall 2.0 because it said there was software that depended on it.

I got my SATA Maxtor 250GB dual boot with Win2K at the moment. Recently I got boot failure problem: Just inside the BIOS, even before the option menu, it said something like Non system disk please insert system disk... I reboot it again, press F8 to select the first book disk, then it went to the OS selection menu and boot into XP. However, its very slow and somethimes it hung, in some occassions when I using LavaSoft AdWare scanning my computer it was hung. I found that my partition is fragmented quite seriously, is that make my computer so slow and even hang? In addition, is there a way to repair/inspect my boot sector?

HARD DRIVE LOST DATA

I have just reinstalled WindowsXP because I felt evrything was running slowly and to many errors were occuring. I upgraded to 2x2.4Mhz=4.8 CPU and the machine is now lightning fast. I have three hard drives and when I did a format, I accidently formatted the wrong drive. I now have c:=160Ghz f:=300Ghz and g:=400Ghz. The c: and f: drives are OK but because g: was reformatted and XP installed on it, I had to remove it from my system because at startup the system would boot from G: I can however use g: via USB. There are very important video files on this g: drive which were lost with reformat. I have tried 3 different recovery programs but for for some reaso…

PC reboots when trying to exit Windows Media Player after playing
by Guest ffsabbagh- 2 replies

I´d be glad if someone could help me. The issue I´m having is that PC reboots EVERY time I play a DVD disc (physical disc on drive, or emulated iso). Problem goes as follow, DVD disc is in the drive, I can go through menu, play movie, everything goes fine BUTwhen I exit windows media player (or any other program I try to use to play the dvd content), PC reboots on the spot. That only happens with DVD content, I can play divx, avi, etc etc, any other content fine, however when I try playing a DVD disc, I get this issue. I starting to think I might have some codec problem, however I´m not sure, and dont know how to deal with this. Thank in advance for a…

New message when I boot up my laptop
by Guest Sefton B- 1 reply

For the past month, each time I boot up my laptop I get the message: "The instruction at '0x00b11306' referenced memory at '0x00650680'. The memory could not be 'read'." I click OK, and all is fine. But it is annoying. Does anyone have an idea what I did to create the problem. I assume the computer did not decide to do it by itself.

When I boot the machine, everything's fine. ping works, ipconfig reports everthing ok, browsers work. ABout 10 minutes later, Page not founf on both IE and Firefox...BUT...other connections still work, such as the xnews browser I'm typing into now. Ping still works. When this started happening is when I installed a require VPN software to connect to my employer's network. I've since removed it, but the problem has stayed. I'm an old software guy, but networks baffle me. What could be happening here and how do I find it? Two things I've tried already: pare down the system to bare minumum and installed the TCP connection limit removal patch (I was getting…

My pc takes about 4 minutes before it will allow me to start any programs. I have to wait for a message to popup in the task bar telling me that there is no firewall. My windows firewall is enabled. I tried to access the firewall settings at startup through the control panel. I received a error message "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display windows Firewall settings". Are there some settings I can switch to get rid of the delay? When I purchased this Pc it had Norton internet security installed. I uninstalled that and replaced it with NOd32. Everything was just to slow with Norton. Could there be things left behind from Norton causing the p…
