Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services
by Guest Lowell- 1 reply
- 157 views
II recently ran my Micro Trend antivirus and I receive these two messages “Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (928088)” and “Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (936227).” And I have tried to run updates but so far I have not been able to. I am running Microsoft XP professional and when I try downloading I get this message, “The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem.” Do you have any ideas? Regards, -- Lowell Shoaf Realtor RE/MAX Gulfstream Realty Saras…

Does XP need another patch for this??
by Guest Paul- 4 replies
- 228 views
Hi all, I'm not too sure if Avast (ashserv.exe) , is causing this prob, but it happens sometimes, when I open some folders in my computer (XP x32 SP3). The error in event viewer is the same as this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891608 However, as above, I'm not using the OS's on this site The above site points to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841356/ Which obviously I dont need (and it probably wont work) since its only for SP1. I'm also getting this error Windows cannot unload your classes registry file - it is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. I see Uphclea…

Power (230V) down during a thunderstorm. 2003 server machines power supply damaged. Rreplaced it and rebooted machine (first time in >3 years). Noticed that display settings were down to SVGA (800 x 600) and could not bee changed. Replaced video card (same model) and rebooted. No success. Settings dialog will accept moving the slider to a higher res (e.g. 1024 x 768) but the screen stays att 800 x 600. Same thing with screen saver and energy saving options. Dialogs accepts new option but no change in machine behavior. When coming back to dialog the previous values/options are still there?!? Other than this 2003 server works like before. Up time is …

Replacing C: Drive - Again
by Guest Dave- 17 replies

Two weeks ago I posted a question about how to replace my C: drive with a larger one. I got many good replies (thank you), one of which was to go to the mfg's website and download cloning software. Since I wanted to install a Western Digital (which I already have, and have been using it for external storage), I went to the WD website and downloaded their Data Lifeguard Tools. After unzipping and reading the tutorial/info, I'm not sure this is what I want. It never uses the word 'clone', the nearest thing is 'Drive-to-Drive Data Copy' It would seem I need to do a little more than just 'copy' my current C: drive onto another HD. Am I missing somethin…

Hello I need to reinstall my OS so I removed the HD from my fairly new HP Pavilion and attached it my notebook via an external USB enclosure. I then combined several existing partitions using Norton Partition Magic. Tested for surface errors, unhid the drive, formatted it and reinstalled it in the Pavilion. Using an original XP disk, no SP I attempted to install the OS. Just after all drivers, etc are loaded the screen turns blue with a halt error specifying pci.sys. I have removed every PCI component including memory and tried again with the same results. I am looking for instructions for 2 things. First to solve the problem, can I remove the HD, at…

I have a Dell Dimension with on-board NIC. I was having network problems and added a new Linksys 10/100 NIC. All of a sudden I started getting the Windows error screen indicating the system had recovered from an error. When I click to find out more about the error I get a screen that tells me the problem was caused by a 10/100 Ethernet Adapter (an983.sys) by Infineon - AMDTek. I have two choices: - Run Windows Update - Fo to Infineon - AMDTek web site and up drivers I've done both, Windows Update finds nothing. I went to Infineon website and downloaded AN983 drivers and ran Update Drives from Device Mgr on Linksys card since that is the one I just insta…

I recently installed Windows XP on my computer, together with the associated programs Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I notice when I use the spell checker in Outlook Express, it wants to correct words to French. I went to Tools/Options and then selected the Spelling tab. However, in the Language section, the only language available to me is French. What must I do to change this to English (United States)? -- Don

safe mode + policy to prevent installation
by Guest Dougmack- 5 replies

I am having trouble installing a prog (Pinnacle Studio 12). I cannot do it in normal mode so I tried safe mode. In safe mode with admin, I get the message that policies have been set to prevent this installation. However, this is the only prog that I have this issue with. I can install any other prog in safe mode without problems. I am running XP + SP2. The computer was never part of a domain and I am the only user (private computer). I tried logging on with my user account (admin) and the default Admin account. No success with either account. Any suggestions?
