This PC and two other PCs connect to this modem via network cables forming a workgroup network.

Here's the short tale of my story. a. C-drive fails b. All contents of the c-drive are captured onto an external drive c. XP is installed on a new drive. d. unstoppable copier puts contents of external on new drive. Program Files folders and all else are replaced with the 'old' folders e. Put new c-drive into machine and boot up Supposedly the new drive should be identical to the original. True or false? In my case, it wasn't, but the desktop looked good. However, few if any apps from there would fire up. One large non-MS app fires up. Icons are missing from the tray. Folder contents seem to be in order. All Start items are available.

Bottom line is I;ve been trying to remove this "tool" for days now, and have tried all of the conventional methods described and known to most folks on the general and other xp groups...none have worked. I've used ones p osted here and other places, and have even found the same inefetive "solutions" on yutube; still here. What I am finding is not the same as many have described as their problems. I am using a genuine version of xp BTW, and it has …

Hi, We're experiencing symptom 3, Message 2 in the knowledge base article with some of our servers and were wondering if there's a fix that's going to be released. While the text of the KB advises its going to be in the next service pack, the fix wasn't credited as being in 3.5 SP1 as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951847. Can someone from MS please advise if it is included, but not credited otherwise we'll have to work with MS support to get the hotfix talked about in the original KB article. Cheers, Kieran

I try to connect to a Remote Server and my password is not acnowleged (in other micros it works). Any clue other than reinstall everything (I have 74 installed programs in it)? Thanks, Marco Castro

-- Hi...I can't find help for this at the microsoft support site or anywhere for that matter! The computer is a Dell Latitude D600 laptop...It's running windows media 2005...It was the victim of a very bad virus and after much effort I decided to do a clean reinstall of XP using the recovery disc...The reinstall went fine, but when I rebooted it wanted an administrator password...There never was one so that was odd..it also showed an error message that said the following: The System cannot log you on due to the following error: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
