    - Regarding regedit Thanks you guys I really appreciate your help and suggestions. The problem stems from a hardware incompatability and the manufacturer who has installed a program that closes regedit and system info so I have to phone them ( At £1:75p a minute) or email them to which they have never replied .to fix the problem. which I think is unfair.They do it from their end and give no instructions on how to do it from my end. Anyway thanks you all I shall continue to try and solve this problem. Regards. Rob Tag: Reg: policy set to users Tag: 189880

    - Optimize Your Computer and XP for New Users. I see from this site that there are many issues relating to Windows XP. In spite of it all, I have heard that Windows Vista is much more of a nightmare. lol If you are new to computing as well as Windows XP, there are a few things that you could do to make your time on the computer more PLEASANT AND SAFE[/B]! 'OPTIMIZING YOUR COMPUTER' (HTTP://WWW.EASYOPTMYPC.OPTMYPC.COM) FROM THE START AS WELL AS LEARNING SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND STICKING TO A SCHEDULE AS FAR AS THE MAINTENANCE GOES, WILL DO JUST THAT! IT WILL NOT ONLY KEEP YOUR COMPUTER *RUNNING AT PEAK EFFICIENCY*, BUT WILL ALSO *SAFEGUARD* YOUR COMPUTER FROM COLLECTING NASTIES LIKE *ADWARE, SPYWARE, VIRUSES, WORMS, TROJANS AND MORE! Personally I recommend for the average user who is on the computer a couple hours a day, to a schedule like the following: Weekly Virus Scan Biweekly(every 2 weeks) Clean your Registers Defrag your hard drive Monthly Delete any programs, data, music, movies or what have you, that you [b]KNOW* you are not going to use. Doing JUST THIS will help, but there are a ton of other optimization steps you could take that will help you even more! Some of these steps actually make the above NEEDED less often, but I would STILL do them as frequent as mentioned. Wishing you all happy, safe and quick computing.

    - My documents - Assigning network drive letter I have a client who uses Sanyo MemoScriber V4 (ICR1000) in which the software has lost links to the downloaded .WAV files (which remain on the hard disk). Sanyo tell me that there is a known problem with Windows using drives assigned with letters in the lower part of the alphabet. Apparently there is a Microsoft KB article (which I haven't been able to locate). Sanyo also tell me that to re-instate the link I need to re-assign My Documents to the local hard disk - not the network. I should appreciate it if someone could tell me how to do this. Many thanks.

    - Adding XP Home computer to wireless network I have installed the wireless router on my XP Pro computer. When I check the XP Home computer it says that the network is available with excellent signal strength. But, when I connect to the network I still can't access the internet. Help on the WEB says that I need to enable TCP/IP for my wireless connection. The WEB help displays dialog boxes with a check box to enable TCP/IP, but not how to get to them. When I do find a dialog box with matching title, there is no check box to enable TCP/IP. It seems that WEB help assumes you have XP Pro. Can anybody give me a step-by-step procedure to enable TCP/IP on a wireless connection on an XP Home computer ? Tag: Reg: policy set to users Tag: 189828

    - Need Help Reinstalling MS Works 4.5 My Packard Bell Win98 came with MS Works 4.5 pre-installed,and for reasons unknown, some of the functions are not longer working. when I attempt to reinstall it with the setup.exe file, located in the MS Works folder, it ask me to insert the MS Works cdrom. The only disk that I have that came with this pc is a Packard Bell Companion CD disk and the Master Recovery Disk. The Companion CD contains the initial Win98 installation files. I upgraded to Win98 SE (have that CD disk also)sometime ago. Which one of these disk would I go about locating the necessary re-installation file(s) and how would I go about it? I don't want to reinstall the entire system, just the MS Works application.

    - Unable to log you on because of an account restriction I received a message after I had run a registry cleaner and the system had rebooted that I needed a password to enter and had I forgotten it. I had done a restore point prior to running the cleaner. There were no passwords on the computer for administrator or profile prior to this. Originally when the system restarted it would come on to the desktop. Now it is asking for passwords to enter for either administrator or profile. I ran "Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, Bootdisk / CD" to remove passwords and unlock the accounts. When I rebooted after this I get the message above. I have restarted in safe mode also with no difference. How can I get into my computer again? I have been trying for almost a week now with no luck. The OS is Windows XP Pro.

    - MS Live OneCare Security Scanner: Credible Alternatives? Please Help I have gradually been pruning out my bloatware and my MS ware as much as I could, and recently canned the MS Windows firewall in favor of the PC Tools Fiirewall. That leaves me with one last remaining dependency: I use the MS Live OneCare Sec. Scan a lot because it reveals problems and can also help to cure them. Like fragmentation and excess userless files. Would someone please suggest something along the lines of the MS Live OneCare Sec. Scan, online, but a whole lot better--doing similar deep scans and deep fixes better than MS does? I would like some suggestions, please. Thank you for helping me! Robb Tag: Reg: policy set to users Tag: 189718

    - How do I create a password protected zip file? (#8730) If you have Windows XP: 1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the first file you want to zip. 2. Right click on the file and select "Send To" and "Compressed (zipped) Folder." This will create a new compressed folder with the same name as the file, except with the extension .zip. 3. Right click any other file you want to compress and select "Copy." 4. Right click on the compressed folder you created in step 2 and select "Paste." The copied file was pasted into the compressed folder. Repeat this until your compressed folder contains all the files you want. 5. Right click on the compressed folder and select "Explore." 6. In "File," select "Add a Password." Enter the password and confirm the password.

    - Security center has been turned off? How do you turn it back on? HI all, Until I get to my mothers house, after work, this is all the information I have to go one rite now.. Gateway PC, Win XP SP2, pentium 4; 3.2GHz, 1 gig ram... Not much to go on, and I am hoping that this is all youz guyz may need.... The problem: She first noticed that her Norton Internet Security 08 icon wasn't loading, I told her to reboot the PC, and it turned back on. Then I told her to check the security center to see what that looks like.... I'll be the first to admit it may not be the next best option to go to next, but I didn't want to frustrate things.. Well as it turns out there is a 3 line text at the top that says, basically, that the security center service has either been stopped or turned off, and is no longer active. Automatic updates shows that it is working, Norton says it is all secure... But the firewall had been turned off.. I won't be able to get to the PC till about 6pm central time, USA. Again, I am sorry for this little bit of info.... Can you help me thus far? AND A BIG THANX For all YOUR time and effort in this issue!! ;) :) Tag: Reg: policy set to users Tag: 189671

    - Multiple Virus Scanners: AEC Trustport: Similar freeware: Help I ran into an article which mentioned AEC Trustport in Informationb Week, how it allowed for several virus search engines to work without conflicts. The trustport platform licenced other anti-virus engines to work in this wise: one was going real time, and others were going on demand. Generally the received wisdom is that virus scans conflict with one another and the system is at best a hash and at worst a crash. Trustport has a platform to remove this issue. I contacted their support and requested a freeware version. No- go, they do not have one, have no plans to make one. Fine, but here are my questions: (1) is there software which would allow me to use a software "toggle switch" so to speak, and turn on a real time virs scanner and at the same time turn off an on demand virus scanner, maybe several of them?; (2) is there any rare or obsolete freeware which will allow the use of more than one virus scan? Yes, some will say, they get along fine with three, but I disagree. Could anyone advise me of how to get, say, AVG and Zone Alarm and some others, all freeware virus scans, to coexist and not conflict on my PC, if I run them--NOT concurrently, but in succession. Maybe,hypothetically, AVG virus scan as a real time scanner and Zone Alarm on demand, and two others on demand, hypothetically. Then maybe I want to make Zone Alarm the real time scanner, etc. etc. Got the idea? Someone please advise or help if you have the freeware to do it. I thank you very much.

    - My Sound Just Stopped...I Don't Know Why What happened: My computer suddenly has no sound. When did I first notice this: Just a few hours ago. Up until then, I had sound working just fine. Did I do something dumb?: I don't think I did. I have not downloaded a thing. My system: Windows XP Home with SP-2. 768MB of SDRAM. 291GB of hard drive. My computer is a Dell Dimension 4550. I have and scan daily with AVG anti-virus, AdAware, Spybot S&D, CWShredder, Spyware Blaster. I also have the free Zone Alarm firewall installed and running. I have a high speed Cox Communications internet connection. Symptoms: The speaker icon in my system tray has disappeared. I cannot get sound with external speakers or headphones. My computer will not play music CD's but will allow me to access data (only) CD's and/or DVD's. In Device Manager, there are no red "X"'s or exclamation points in yellow balls. When I check the properties of everything under the Sound, Video and Game controllers, everything is reported as working properly. I cannot check my system sounds. They don't work, either. Under Sounds and Audio Devices Properties (Control Panel applet), under Volume everything is greyed out and the words "No Audio Device" appear next to the speaker icon near the top of the tab. In the Hardware tab, every entry, next to Device Status, indicates the same thing: This device is working properly. What I have tried, so far: I attempted to uninstall all my audio codecs. The computer won't allow me. I did manage to get one codec to uninstall - the Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device. When I rebooted, it reinstalled itself but it hasn't helped. I have unplugged and re-plugged in the headphones. Didn't help. I thought to look in MSCONFIG, but didn't see anything which might effect my sound having stopped. I checked the Creative Labs web site for any updated Soubd Blaster drivers. I allowed Creative Labs to perform an automated search of my computer. The results came back that my computer has the most recent SB drivers installed and operating correctly. What I would like: To get my sound back! Someone who might suggest what I have missed and that I can try. Any assistance any one can offer. Thank you! Jim Tag: Reg: policy set to users Tag: 189657

    - Install XP with different product key code? I'm doing some volunteer work for an organization that supplies used/refurbished computers to homeless shelters. Part of that work involves upgrading the OS (say from Windows 98) and upgrading Office as well. In trying to work on a group of PCs today I discovered the XP disk could not be read by the PCs. Looking at the disk, the problem was a crack running through part of the disk rendering it unreadable. This is a disk supplied by MicroSoft to the organization for the purpose we are using it for. We have the proper product key codes as well but we can't use the disk. My guess is the disk has been used so many times that in handling it someone cracked it. Can I use another XP disk to install the OS but use the product key code assigned to the organization by MS for the cracked CD? Perhaps something in the installation files of the XP disk is looking for a specific product key. In this case, entering a different, but valid, key would not work. Does anyone know?

    - Pirated XP Pro explanation For those who have answered and shot me full of bullets...My so called computer friend told me that since the operating system was pirated, I needed to buy an upgrade to make it right. So that is what I did, but was told to buy the wrong one. What I bought is Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 Upgrade, but it is for users of Windows 98 or Millennium and not XP Pro. My mistake since I know nothing about what I'm doing. My niece that sold me the computer with the bad operating system admitted after the fact that the system was pirated, but it was too late...too bad. I had never dealt with her before and had no reason to believe that she would do this to me. My mistake again! All I'm trying to accomplish here is to find a resolution. I am not advocating anything connected to pirating again. I notified Microsoft of the problem and asked them for suggestions and evidently it fell on deaf ears, because they have never responded other than verifying that they got my request. Meanwhile, Wal Mart will not take the software back because the box is now open and they claim that Microsoft will not allow them to take it back because it is a copyright violation...meaning that they have no way of knowing if I copied he disc or not. I feel that I have spent honest money for an operating system that will not work and I'm trying to mitigate the damages to my wallet without making the same mistake again. I hope this answers all the criticisim from some of those who have answered this question. Thanks to those who have tried to answer my question! Tag: Reg: policy set to users Tag: 189629
