I have just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my computer. All the hardware drivers are installed and working normally. No other software has been installed yet. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I went online and did my Windows updates a few times, installing SP3 and whatever patches were offerred. I also installed Microsoft Update. Now for some reason, when I do Windows Update, or try to run the MS Live Messenger installers, I'm told that the installations have failed. Right now the following updates are outstanding: KB928365 - NET security update .NET 1.1 SP1 KB951213 - Silverlight 1.0 install The Live Messenger installer puts th…

I have a 10 workstation network that was setup with each one logging in as the default administrator. I'd like to swap all the settings over to another user with administrative rights and then later downgrade this user to a "power user". Is this possible?

Font sizes in Desktop Properties
by Guest dpasek- 2 replies
- 204 views
How can I get more font size selections in the drop down menu for: Display Properties: Appearance: Font size. The drop down menu lists only "Normal" I am using "Windows Classic style" with Brick color scheme. I need some larger font size selections. The article: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsxp/appearance.aspx mentions that this selection exists but I cannot find any info to suggest how to add additional selections to the list. The article generally reiterates the obvious and is not helpful about my question. I need larger fonts for accessibility reasons. Thanks

Antivirus XP2008 Removal?
by Guest bajazza@yahoo.com- 7 replies
- 313 views
Can anyone advise on how to remove this entry? It comes up as Antivirus XP2008 and it looks very legitimate, but I'm sure its not, being as obtrusive as it is. I've tried removing it from my add/delete programs file but no go. Does anyone even know what this does or is? It's incredibly annoying-pops up every 25 seconds or so with a message like...your computer was found to have 1564 virus, its is recommended that you use protection now!. I'm not too computer savvy so if you reply, could you 'dumb it down'? Thanks in advance! Jay
