Windows firewall settings
by Guest kapibarra- 1 reply
- 147 views
Hi all. I have an issue wherein I will configure the firewall on an XP SP2 machine, and it seemingly will randomly lose it's settings. Not sure why they get reset to default, but we do not use group policy/local policy on these machines so if it's not that, I don't know what else it could be. What I really want to know is is there some way for me to save or export the windows firewall settings so that when they mysteriously vanish, I can put them back quickly again. Could I possibly export a registry setting maybe? Thanks! -- kapibarra

Media Center 2005 will not boot.
by Guest Dalwell- 7 replies

I have an HP Pavilion, a1640n, system running Media Center 2005 with SP 3 installed from the Microsoft Update site. When I try to boot, I get the option screen for Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, etc screen. No matter what option I choose the system powers down, gives me the HP logo screen and returns to this option screen. It will let me enter the boot menu, setup and system recovery console, but will not boot. I have run fixboot, fixmbr, chkdsk /r but still get the same result. I decided the frustration level was approaching redline and used the original XP install disc to reformat the drive and put a clean install on. The disc will run through th…

Windows XP Pro - Lots-o-Apps CRASHING...
by Guest chigrboy- 0 replies
- 139 views
But wait there's more! I'm seeing this as an office-wide epidemic! All clients running windows XP pro sp2 (25 clients). The basic complient is that Outlook freezes, crashes and burns then must be restarted in Outlook safe mode (outllook 2003 and 2007). It's random. I've updated one machine to SP3 in hopes that this might fix the problem but no go. It started off with just a few people (i know it's starting to sound like a virus but I've scanned and scanned and none found, well except for one dork)... When I look through the event viewer logs though, I see more apps that are hanging besides Outlook. This behaviour is the same for all the users that ha…

Corrupt domain profiles...

Environment: 5 servers, 1 2003 SBS, 3 2003 and 1 2000 all fully patched. About 50 workstations all running XP sp2 WSUS and Symantec Antivirus At first I just thought this issue was your standard run of the mill corrupt profile. But this issue seems to be spreading (5 users in the past few months, multiple times on each computer now) and I cant figure out what is causing it. Rebooting usually fixes the issue but there have been a few times where I’ve had to completely recreate the profile. All are local profiles..no roaming, no folder redirection. I've also tried installing the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service In the event log this shows up.. Windows wa…

Problem with Remote Desktop Options
by Guest kelmel- 5 replies
- 251 views
We are using Remote Desktop for our administrators to connect to a new server. We want to go ahead and set up the options and credentials but some workstations have this ability and other workstations don't. Why? When I open up my own Remote Desktop (V 6.0), I am able to put the remote address in, but when I click Options, it tells me that it will ask me for my credentials when I connect. We want these settings automatic for our users. Our users are running Windows XP SP2 and SP3. Would the service pack make a difference? Thanks for the help!

Screen resolution
by Guest Mikeymay- 2 replies

A few months back my HDD drive failed and have just recently got a new one and got my laptop up and running again. Looking at the desktop and when using IE, the screen resolution looks different to how it was pre HDD failure. I am aware that you can change the resolution by right clicking on the desktop and using the propertied menu, but there doesn't seem to be as many choices for the screen resolution. The minimum resolution is pretty cr*ppy and my eyesight isn't that bad yet and the maximum seems to stretch everything (not to distortion levels, but just doesn't look right). I can't remember the available setting as I am at work and don't have lapt…
