I have a mirror of my site on my machine and use the local copy instead of the Internet one. Randomly when returning from another page on the Internet it will put up the don't want to allow ActiveX message bar at the top of the browser window. No ActiveX is on the page. Only some of the pages have JavaScript but they all put up the bar. How do I get it to accept my pages on my machine? The directory where they are found is in the trusted zone but I'm not about to list the 70+ pages individually in there. IE 7, XP SP2 both up to date

I am running Windows XP Professional SP2. This morning I received the usual Windows Update Notification which had 5 or 6 items to update; all but one successfully updated, the one which would not was "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1".

I am assisting a person who has XP and wants to know when the computer is ready to go - that the start up process is over. I thought that the icon arrow for the mouse might show when it is ready - as the hourglass changes to an arrow, but I am using Vista now and don't remember what XP does. Can I get help so I can answer this question? -- Gary Librarian

scenario: 19" widescreen monitor 4 port ps/2 kvm switch 1 comp duel boot kubuntu/windows xp problem: when windows loads up, it doesnt detect the monitor, im presuming this is because of the kvm switch, and will not go greater then 1386x800(or something similar). i need it to be able to tell it to use 1440 instead, no matter what windows thinks. i know that i am able to use 1440x900 through the kvm because kubuntu is working with it fine. i have tried installing the drivers 4 the monitor but it wont auto detect the correct driver, and forcing it to use the correct drivers only allows the 1386 resolution stated above. unplugging the kvm and plugging the …

The most likely cause is the laser or optical bloack as they are usually called, there are optic's inside the block as well to seperate the forward beam and the returned beam that has been modulated by the disc, also in the block is the focusing mechanism that moves the lens up and down and sideway's.... plenty to go wrong in them. At all cost avoid those cleaning disc with a brush fixe…

Software Restriction Policies and Symantec Antivirus
by Guest Jose- 0 replies

Hello, I recently implemented SRPs in my Windows network, thoroughly testing many things before deployment. So, after deploying SRPs everything works fine: allowed programs start, disallowed programs don't. However, I have problem with Symantec AntiVirus 10.x clients - they appear like their Auto Protect is disabled (SAV yellow shield icon is in red circle), but SAV client software itself is running, i.e. I see yellow shield icon in the task tray, I can double click it, SAV client opens, I can run scans etc etc. Before deploying SRPs SAV worked fine without trouble. SRPs config is set to default, appart from that I am exclusively allowing to run all…

This may not be proper place to post this but only NG I could think was appropriate. Sorry if it's not. I'm supposed to have 2GB RAM in this PC. It's showing 1910MB in Control Panel>System. Is 1910MB the same as 1.9GB? Or is my PC not seeing both1GB sticks? -- Thanks, Bill Post replies back to News Group
