Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

By default system restore is only enabled on my system drive (C:\). The other drives are backups and archives and I do not want them subject to system restore Nonetheless I often find the after a restart monitoring all drives has been enabled. It seems likely that this happens after an update because I do not otherwise shutdown the PC Is there a way to lock the settings? -- Old Uncle John

Inbound connections fail, outbound connections are fine - firewall shut off, very strange This is a strange one. I have a XP Pro machine in a domain. It's working fine up to a point. It can access file shares on a server, it can access a mailbox on the Exchange Server via Outlook. The internet works fine, it can access other computers in the domain...everything looks fine. The trouble comes when I try to connect to it from the server or another computer in the domain. I get the "network path not found" error message. I can't even ping the computer. It shows up in the domain list but can't be connect to. The Windows firewall is turned off and no other firewal…

Looks like you'll be able to get it functional in win-98 by downloading the via drivers from here: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=6&CatID=1110 Specifically: http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/VIA_HyperionPro_V512A.zip (VIA Hyperion Pro Driver Package) That board has PCI and PCI-e slots. You won't be able to get a pci-e video card running on win-98, so you'll have to find a PCI vid…

I know this is the XP community, but Dell doesn't help at all. Anyway, I have a Dell Gen 3 XPS with 2 GB of RAM and a 3.59 GHz processor. When I play the video Game Oblivion, my computer gets REALLY loud and half the time it doesn't "calm down" when I'm done playing unless I restart the computer. I know this game is very graphically intense and pushes just about any system to it's limits, so I know this is the problem. I wish I knew more about computers, but I don't, so I can't say what it is that is so loud; my guess is that the coolling unit isn't good enough? I don't know. Any suggestions for how I can get the thing to slow down after I'm done…

My current primary drive is NTFS and my slave drive is FAT32. I plan to add a larger slave drive and wonder if there is any good reason besides security to make it NTFS? The FAT32 has been doing fine. Jon

I need to run .scr files to check them out but the .scr extension is a script file type and opens with Notepad. I need to re-register the .scr file type as a screensaver, but I can't see how. Mike.

Hey I wonder if there it is possible to download a tryout version or something of the Windows Server 2003 R2. I've checked at microsoft.com and it looks like they have removed this option. It is not available in the page showing the available tryouts... I just thought it could be a good idea of me to install it on a pc I got at home, and then set it as domain controller and put some of my other pc as members in that domain... My boss wants to me to do some network administration at work, so I thought maybe it could be a good idea to set up small network at home.. Where I can test different scenarios without worrying about crashing the entire server f…
