    - Dear Mr. Mick Murphy Dear Mr. Murphy, As you know, we received your complaint that someone was impersonating you in the Vista Usenet groups. You wanted us to contact our friends in the FBI to help track down and prosecute that person for "Identity Theft". As you also know, we told you that impersonating someone in a Usenet newsgroup isn't illegal, but we'd try to help you when we find the time because one of your "friends" works for us and asked us to. Once again, we probably won't find the time before Hades freezes over. We might be able to help you with your current problem though. We can contact some of our friends in Scotland Yard and in MI5 and see if they can take over stalking your friend "nass" so that you can go about your preferred business of being the loving, kind and helpful person you want to be when online. Please reply ASAP. -- High-Tech Crime Squad Scouring Usenet for Mick's Impostors "We always get our fagg..., er, Man!" Tag: Automatic User Account Creation Tag: 821681

    - The standard color dialog box will not accept the standard 3-digit I have a strange problem all of a sudden (although I suspect this started after installing Win XP SP3) If I open the color dialog, this is the standard color dialog windows bring up when one want to change colors ie display settings | desktop | color | other, one can then enter a 3 digit number for RGB (for example orange would be R 259 B 128 G 64) Althoug it show 3 digits or actually it show 2 digits and half of the third when using the slider, but you can only Type 2 Digits, it won't allow you a third digit. I have posted this on various forums and no-body seem to have an answer. So far I tried. Uninstall WinXP SP3, Reinstall office 2003, frontpage 2003, change the font from 96dpi to 72dpi and back. Downloaded and installed the latest: Display driver, Sound and Intel Chipset drivers. I use this function a lot with webdesigning and would appreciate any help or ideas.

    - Another issue... This has just happened recently, and I can't think of anything I've done to cause this to happen... 1 exception: the other day I came home for lunch, and when I came back after work, my computer had been restarted... not like a non-use lockout... restarted... as if my computer had installed something and shutdown on it's own. Since then, my optical drives do not work. I have a DVD burner (EMPREX DVD-RW 16x IDE) and a CD burner (LG HL-DT-ST-CD-RW GCE 8240B). The drives show up in my device manager, but upon inserting any media, nothin happens. At the least there should be a Windows dialog box asking me wat I want to do with the media just inserted... no autorun for games...NOTHING!!!

    - SP3 again: The hell with them! Hello All! I have Windows updates set to download and ask before installing. This is the second time that it has been announced that SP3 had been downloaded. I turned off everything including all aspects of the McAfee security suite and the update proceeded. After a long time and all sorts of messages about backup, a loud drum beat announced "Access denied" and the "Update Removal Wizard (or moron)" commenced. As far as I can tell, things are as they were before the "update" but my reaction to Microsoft is "The hell with them" unless I am specifically informed what is needed to install this update. There is no reason why I should do background reading unless Microsoft tells me to do so. I am going to attempt to communicate with MS but I am not hopeful. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not Tag: Automatic User Account Creation Tag: 821588

Hey guys i have looked through other posts and i cant seem to find anything to help me out, Im reinstalling my windows XP on my desktop, and i am using the dongle, my router is the DG834GB Version 4.3, i have everything installed correctly and i have connected everything, my connection speed is excellent and everything seems connected, green light everything. When i try to go on the net it asks me to work offline as i have no connection, i firstly thought that this was a lag spike and when i tried to check my maximium and minimum speeds is says my destination host is unreachable. anyone have any pointers? im pretty sure my router doesnt have to be installed as i have to laptops and i have no problem connecting to them with my built in wireless.

    - Offline files - The parameter is incorrect Hi, Classic question but looking for a different answer. I got a user that worked offline all week, her work is crucial and it'll be hard to do it again. I got that error when she is trying to synchronize on my network: the parameter is incorrect. She has XP SP2. I am looking for a different answer than this article from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230738 Is it possible to recover from that error other than just clearing the cache? As I said previously those modified files are crucial. Another thing is it's the 2nd or 3rd time that laptop has that offline files issue. Is there a reason for that issue to happen, habits to avoid?

    - Fatal errors browsing Word docs saved as .mht and .htm I've searched a few times and can't find any new hits on .mht issues, so here it is. I have a simple Word document (12 pages long with about 10 embedded images) which I have saved as both .mht and as .htm (and the .htm format puts the images in a similarly-named folder). The .mht and .htm documents can be viewed online (via Javascript window.open()) without an issue, but after closing the window the original (parent) browser window crashes. The crash is *not* immediate. It takes some time and seems to require activity in the original window, although there is no direct interaction which triggers it -- that is, it does not happen immediately after a click or other input. Just opening the .mht from my desktop causes the same error. Vital statistics: Windows XP, IE 7.0.5730.11. Word doc saved from Word 2003. I am up-to-date on all Microsoft updates as far as I know. Is this a brand new issue? I found the problem with .mht files, then tried .htm out of desperation and was stunned to see the same behavior. Tag: Automatic User Account Creation Tag: 821545

    - 'Error in intialization' Hi everyone, I have recently been experiencing a problem with my seldom-use Averatec 6200 which is running SP2. This machine is mainly used fo some light word processing, browsing, and occasional DVD playback. About four days ago, I began to experience the following: During the course of normal use (e.g. running IE and/or MS Offic Word), a small window will open which reads 'Error in initialization - parameter is not valid.' The window contains an 'Okay' button at th bottom. This button is not clickable, and hitting the 'Enter' key seem to be the only way of clearing the window. After clearing this window, the screen goes entirely black, and then new window opens which reads 'Index was out of range. Must b non-negative and less than the collection size. Parameter name: index. As with the first window, there is an unclickable 'Okay' button. Hittin the 'Enter' key 2-3 times clears this window and restores the compute to the state it was in prior to blackscreening. The frequency of this error varies. Sometimes, it will occur every fiv minutes. At other times, it may only happen once during a given session I have been unable to isolate the cause of the error. I originall suspected IE was the culprit, but I have since seen the error occu while IE was not running. Through extensive scans with AVG, Ad-Adware and Spybot, I have ruled out the possibility that some malware coul have infected my computer and caused settings to change. I have searched for errors similar to mine, and while I have foun reports of very similar error messages (the exact same text even), al of the errors like this I have seen on other forums have occurred whil using Visual Basic .NET, Windows Forms Designer, ASP DataGrid, and th like. I use none of these, so I am confused as to why I would b receiving this error. Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance! : -- ambrosia13 Tag: Automatic User Account Creation Tag: 821489

    - Weird crash - long read warning We have a central secured wireless Dell PC at work that all the salespeople use at work. It has run trouble free for a few years, running XP Home, SP2. Yesterday something weird happened. I cam in and my coworker who is an senior citizen technophobe, told me that the cleaners that night had knocked the plug out of the wall and that it took him and another to plug it back in and get the PC back running. Incidentally, they stupidly leave the computer running and not logged off, so it is also a given that the cleaning crew probably goes online at night when they shouldn't. (I changed that policy yesterday after fixing the PC). When the old guy finished checking his sports news, (he never closes the browser, he only minimizes it) I closed everything and tried to open my customer database, gone. Got a dialogue files necessary to run PCSync were missing. Tried opening IE7, got an hourglass instead. So, I did what I would normally do, I ran System Restore, using a Checkpoint from the previous day. After system Restore completed and rebooted, I got the Windows boot screen, then a BSOD "GDI32.dll error". I got the Dell boot dick and copied over a fresh file, then rebooted. Another BSOD, "WINSRV error". So I copied over winsrv.dll, still got same BSOD. So I decided to boot to the CD (OEM DELL XPHome SP1) and run a repair install. All seemd to be ok afterwards, except now IE won't run. I get a pop-up saying dll library links missing. Sh*t. Next step, I reinstalled SP2. That should fix it right? wrong. After reapplying SP2, IE now worked but now the USB ports won't work. The did before I installed SP2. I was able to reinstall my PCSync database and everything else works. I had to change out all USB devices to PS2 (mouse, etc.) What fun, not. Why did the USB suddenly stop working? and what could have caused al this trouble? If the old man left the PC running with IE open and someone knocked the power plug out of the wall, would that have corrupted system files? Supposedly this PC has MacAfee running on it, bit could a virus have still infected it? Why would my PCSync app be partially uninstalled? Weird, huh? Anyone have any clue what could have happened?

    - Problems with inbound connections I have several PCs in W2K3 SBS network. One machine has developed a problem as follows; 1) file and print sharing is not working 2) I cannot remote desktop to it 3) I cannot ping it 4) all outbound connections are working fine The PC is running XP SP2 I have tried all the obvious (to me) things; 1) there is not virus or malware (have done a full scan with norton and hijackthis respectively) 2) there is no firewall issue (machine has same ruleset as other PC's) and issue is the same regardless of whether firewall is up or down 3) RPC service is running 4) event log is running 5) running ethereal/wireshark I can see remote connections coming into the PC on the correct ports but the PC does not reply to them 6) if I type in a share locally (i.e. doing \\machinename\ ) all shares are listed 7) I can run an nmap port scan - it just returns the ip and mac addresses and tells me all ports are filtered 8) I used MSCONFIG to reboot machine with the bare minimum of microsoft services and the problem persists Unfortunately this problem has been ongoing for a while now so do not have a viable restore point. Can anyone suggest any other avenues for exploration before I resort to a reinstall of windows? TIA Tag: Automatic User Account Creation Tag: 821381

    - Hmmm password problem No this isn't a 'i forgot my pass', 'i lost X password', 'admin pass i hijacked' etc. Last week i downloaded a file and it was a chain trojan. Ye compromised system yada yada yada. Well it was more for that Anti-viru 2008 scam program...well it messed some reg entries. So I run Spybot i fixes a few(no control panel...log off etc) well then i accidentally le it go to screensaver and i have it set to go to the welcome screen(s gotta relog) well I type in my pass...all times correct...caps lock of and dbl and triple checked typing. Did this about 5 times. And previously had the pass thing set to lock for 1 min after 3 fails. Wel that all failed so i tried the account thats limited and has n pass...also refused...as with the 2 other users. Well so needless to sa i gotta reset. I go to safe mode...clean up the obvious programs and fi a cpl entries etc. Next is a file ingrained into a login program so it cant be removed an it replaces its registry entries on restart so i started with windows x cd and using the command prompt there manually deleted it then remove it from the registry. yes it was a confirmed virus(all reg keys and ad date pointed to such and such and its actions). Well I log back in still have a cpl(go.google.com redirect and th tdss). I download malwarebytes antimalware and scan and remove what can. Then I downloaded sdfix to get rid of tdss and its rootkit. Al those are gone and such. I fixed the reg entries(time, log off, active desktop etc). now th welcome screen error still exists. If I turn off the welcome screen can lock and relog fine but if i turn it on and fast user it screws up Tho note I can login normally when i first startup. I'm thinking its: A) A corrupt file attributed to the user profiles. B) A still infected file run when someone logs in(Isass.exe spikes i cpu usage at startup...its a system process and in the prope location). C) A registry that's changed. D) A faulty file attributed to the Fast user switching/welcome screen. Can anyone provide some help or a point in the right direction. Googl is seemingly useless...found a person with the same problem a few day ago but can't find again. He said something bout screensaver was corrup I believe. Now I want to fix without reinstalling if possible otherwise I can suc it up and just logoff if someone else needs to use(its a shared comp an originally I would Start+L and their profile would have n password...yes it was working right before the virus was activated). Thank you and I appreciate any help possible.

I work with AD and am deploying workstations constantly. Is there
anyway to create a user account on the workstation without having to
have the person logon? Is there also a way to configure email and
internet for that user account? Would you have to know their password?
Any ideas or if you know of any good software for this I would
appreciate it.
