Wireless Zero Configuration
by Guest KCav- 12 replies

Trying to connect a notebook computer to a LAN. I looked through Services and did not find Wireless Zero Configuration. Since this service is for automatic configuration of 802.11 adapters it seems it should be running. I ran Add/Remove software routine to load it onto the notebook and it is still missing from the list of available services. Is there a configuration setting needed -- KC

Rebuild Add or remove programs list
by Guest wendelin- 3 replies
- 263 views
Hi, Perhaps due to an electricity outage, my Add or Remove Programs list has been corrupted. The entries in this list are weird and have no Change/Remove buttons. On running regedit, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall has only new programs listed. The old programs are gone. Is there any way to rebuild this list? Thank you. Wendelin

Is it OK to enable SafeDllSearchMode?
by Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com- 7 replies
- 576 views
I read that the registry key SafeDllSearchMode was introduced in Windows 2000 SP3. It improves security by searching in the system directories for DLLs before searching in the current directory. But it was disabled by default in all versions of Windows until Windows XP SP2 because it could potentially break existing applications. Does anyone know what applications will break if you enable it?

VISTA into the PAST???
by Guest apprentice idiot- 2 replies

SOMEONE HELP! Whether because of a new update or change to a new monitor (LG L226WA Analogue) yesterday , my system clock travels back in time at each reboot to May 6th, 2006 at 12:06 AM. And, as of this morning, Microsoft Outlook has gone my-core-soft and decided to to set me alarms for a buch of e-mails; yet, no matter how many times I dismiss them all, they bounce right back up again. Luckily, I discovered that all will go away for a longer while when I close the file from the bottom bar. If any cybernaut knows how to deal with this cybernaughtiness, I'll be much obliged.

WIN95 Registry problem & can't get to Start Up Menu
by Guest Robin- 9 replies

Have a win95 system that will not boot, says there's a problem with the registry, need to restore registry and reboot, and then I can't get it to do anything else, nothing. I'm trying to get to the startup menu to boot to safte mode. Everything I've read says to hit F8 when the 'start windows 95' screen appears. I do this but nothing happens. I get the 'start windows 95' blue screen twice during startup. I try hitting F8 (over & over again) at both times but it doesn't give me the start menu. I've tried F10, F9, & F4 also. Any ideas? The system ran fine Monday & shutdown seemed to run properly. Tuesday AM it would not boot. I have …

XP Pro, fully up to date with patches When you place the cursor over a quick launch or toolbar icon you get a descriptive tooltip window. After a couple of days these tooltips appear behind the toolbar. You can see the top of them but the message is hidden. How do I get the proper behavior back without rebooting?
