When I sign on computer a window comes up in the center from "messenger service" saying it is a message from System To Alert. Stop!! Immediate attention required!! Windows has found critical system errors. Download registry cleaner from http://www.clean32.com. Failure to act now may lead to data loss and corruption. There are a couple of other boxes that also come up saying the same thing with other site addresses. How do I get these to stop and is it a genuine message from windows or just a scam??? I have uninstalled everything on my computer and then reinstalled windows xp, and this still comes up. Any idea what I need to do to stop this fro…

"Unknown device" in Device Manager for Intel DG965RY
by Guest Robert S- 14 replies
- 595 views
I've just done a clean install of XP on a DG965RY motherboard twice. I've got a Samsung HD401LJ HD and a Radeon X1950 video card. Each time I have a question mark with "Other devices -> Unknown device" in my device manager. I've installed all the drivers from the Intel and ATI websites on both occasions and get the same result. Any idea where to start - I've done "Scan for Hardware Changes" several times, but it does not detect the device. TIA

In Windows XP, I've got automatic updates disabled (System Properties | Automatic Updates, selected "Turn Off Automatic Updates") However, Sysinternal's Process Explorer shows that shortly after boot, the windows automatic updates program WUAUCLT.EXE runs.

prevent files being deleted or modified...
by Guest Leslie- 1 reply
- 350 views
Hi. I have a growing number of files in NTFS folder shares (W2K) that I want to protect from modification or deletion by a group of users (call them 'GroupA'). I thought I would be able to achieve this by applying the deny delete, delete sub-folders and files, append data, change permission and take ownership permissions to GroupA on the files in question. As 'deny' permission takes precedence over 'allow' I expected any rights GroupA inherited to modify the file would have been superceded by the 'deny' permissions. However, when I tested this I found GroupA users were still able to delete the files. (I didn't check whether they could modify them) Look…

Hi!, I am new to "creating users account on Windows XP Pro, SP2", well I am new in any Operating System. I am trying to create a User Account, as a Power User, since we are installing an old application that only works under Administrative privileges accounts (I assume, because it works under the Administrator User). I created a limited account, but the application doesn't work, so I tried to create a Power User, but when I access at the User Accounts, it only let me choose either Administrators or limited accounts. Then I went to the Administrative Tools icon under Control Panel, Under Computer Management, Local Users and Groups, look for the Power Users …
