I am trying to map a network drive to another computer. I cannot see any computers in the workgroup. I have run the network wizard. Could not start the Server service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied. Any suggestions? Thank you.

My DH was reading his comics on comic.com, when the website closed unexpectedly and a Windows box came up with a message similar to "Your connection was lost, Do you want to restore?" and a Yes and No box. sigh. He clicked on "yes" and all the fun began. The computer started to reboot itself, and couldn't finish the job. What I observed: on boot up sequence when it went to the "Scanning IDE Drives" page, a message pops up that "No drive attached to the Fast Track controller. The bios is not installed", then it goes to the screen to choose a boot option. No matter which option I choose, an error message pops up stating that the System32\Drivers\NTFS.sys f…

I have a server with 2 NIC's. Is it possible to enable the Windows firewall on just one of them ? If not, should I install RRAS ? I just need the server to have internet access for anti-virus updates--it doesn't host any web apps or anything.

I gave my sister in Illinois my computer (two year old Compaq) with Widows XP. She is on line with Comcast cable who gives her the free McaFee Anti-Virus Software. She has been on line for about 3 months and as of a few days ago, she started to get the message in a new window that a trojan was found and she needs to pay $49.99 for a virus removal ......she ran Mcafee and it said a "fake alert" was detected but did not remove it. Now it seems she is getting messages saying Microsoft has found 47 viruses on the hard drive and she needs to pay for that protection......she cannot even log on anymore as as soon as she boots up, that window pops up and she can…

Using IE7. Lately, when surfing and clicking on a variety of websites (some new, most are farmiliar) I have been getting a frequent pop-up error message that reads "Internet Explorer Cannot Open Internet site http://www.xxx.xxx - Operation Aborted." Then when I click OK it takes me to the blue IE page...Internet Explorer Cannot Display this page, etc. Often when I refresh, the page I want then appears! Can someone please explain why this is happening and provide a fix. All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Fran

When I right click over the Notification Area in the Task Bar and go to the Toolbars option, it's submenu is grayed out. What Can I do?

What is the best way to edit a line in msconfig.exe? In this case I want to delete the line which refers to removed software in the autoexe.bat file left after an uninstall. What was the editing tool prior to this msconfig.exe, sysconfig or something?

I was told by someone that you must use 8GB of RAM to fully use 64bit memory addressing. I have never heard of this and I can't find any information on it.

I am running win xp sp2 on a Dell 9100 Dimension with IE7, Kaspersky Internet Security7, Spywareblaster and LinkScanner. I am up-to-date on all critical MS security updates. Last week I was notified of the Windows July security updates, which I downloaded successfully. This week I was again notified that updates were ready to download, but when I went to MS security updates, I did not see any critical updates waiting. I have checked each of the past 3 days and there are still no critical updates pending from MS despite the icon in systray telling me that updates are waiting. Any ideas? I have always had non-critical updates available (including SP3) but h…

Recently I have had my IE windows slowed from one process to the next with an Automatic Screen Refresh. System response is doing something in background as my next window is finally activated. Could be at ONE Website using it's multiple windows and have the Auto Refresh happen. When in Word97 or 2000, program will load and Auto refresh screen before I get a chance to Open a File. Know it is going to happen because System Bogs down with NO response from any open windows or program selection on my part. So, what is happening and what can be done to resolve this. At times I will have 2-5 windows open but never had the problem in the past. FYI, I sh…

[Cross-posted from Setup & Deployment] A couple of days ago, I noticed that the "Open in new tab" option was missing from the right-click menu for links on one of my PCs. One of the suggested solutions was to apply the defaults for security and privacy options. When I applied these options, the information bar stopped appearing, meaning I now can't run ActiveX when prompted, as I don't see the prompt. I have tried the following suggestions to resolve this, but nothing has worked so far: - adjusting Tools/Internet Options/Security (Automatic Prompting etc.) - OLEFix and probably others that I can't remember. I don't want to leave me system at a low…

After my previous WinXP Pro computer's power supply failed, I installed its hard disk as a second drive in a newer computer to copy my files from it; that disk became the "F:" drive on this new computer, while Windows continues starting up from the original "C:" drive of this new computer, as usual. The weird observations are: o Portions of the old computer's "Registry" have sometimes shown up in "Regedit" (although not at this moment), with some unusual "branch" names containing the drive letter "F" (I wish I had written down the precise names, but too late now), as though that drive's registry had been automatically "attached," against any wish…

Could someone tell me what the keys below are about? My daughter started to download a game; I stopped it before the installation and it said that it would remove the installation files. However, I now find these keys referring to the game OniNet Kid, in the right hand panel. I did a Google and found lots of mentions of MountPoints2 connected to trojans and viruses. Any ideas?
