    - Iexplorer and Windows Explorer will not open Hi, A friend's computer will not open Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer. There is no error message. The hourglass comes up, then disappears. He is running XP, but I don't know if it is home version or professional. I think it has SP2 on it. The machine is probably 8 years old. It was working fine, then he turned it off for a week. The machine loaded some MacAfee and Windows Updates when he turned it on. Will a system restore work? I had him go to: Start - Run then typing in - 'iexplore about:blank' He got a message that iexplore could not be found or something like that. I also tried opening internet explorer without add-ons, going to Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Internet Explorer (No Add-ons), but the option for No Add-ons was not there. He only had Internet Explorer in there and it did not open. I tried to search for the ie.inf file using Start - Search, but the search window did not open. I tried to Open Windows Explorer from Start - All Programs - Accessories - Windows Explorer, but it did not open and no error message. I also tried the keyboard command of "Windows+E" with the same result. His Outlook Express is still woking and he is able to get his messages off the Internet Service Provider's Server. He called his ISP and they had him run something that asked for the XP Home Edition CD. He got the machine from a friend and does not have the CD. I have a Windows Professional XP CD. Will the professional one work? Sorry for the lengthy post. I know enough not to play with the registry or rename files randomly. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Wendy Tag: Can't access Windows Firewall Tag: 807582

    - installation update error I'm using Windows Update and have gotten the same error code - 80246002 for 3 different updates: Internet Explorer 7, Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - April 2008, and Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1. This is a new computer, and I want to make sure I can take care of these updates before loading other programs. Any ideas on how to get these programs installed? I had no problem downloading them, just a problem trying to install them - I've tried doing all 3 together, one-at-a-time, and nothing seems to be working.

    - Still can't log in thru admin screen Mark, As I mentined I tried Safe mode, ALL categories. When in Safe mode Command Prompt I'm asked to "Please select the operating system to start:". The only option is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. When I select that it takes me to the Admin login in screen and my troubles start all over again. I can't log in as I'm immediately logged out. It does load my 'preferences' then immediately logs me out. It doesn't matter if I'm in safe mode or normal mode. I even tried to load from the "D: drive with the "Application and Driver Recovery DVD". I also tried to reload XP from the D drive but can't get past the admin login page. I reset the defaults in the BIOS, I've done a self-test on the hard drive in the BIOS to no avail. Sue "Mark L.

    - Boot problem, new motherboard and psu, now it gets are as loading drivers in Safe Mode mup.sys then restarts. 'Hi everyone, Boot problem, new motherboard and psu, now it gets are as loading drivers in Safe Mode mup.sys then restarts. Windows XP Home. Replaced the motherboard with a very similar motherboard but from a different manufacturer, it has the same main chipset on it. Also, using the same cpu/ram/hdd/cd so no other hardware change except for the motherboard and psu. Problem: Select normal boot and system will get as far as blackscreen where it *should* load the XP loading screen but it doesn't get that far, instead if restarts. Safe Mode - F8 - Gets as far as loading the drivers, about 25 are being loaded, and then it always stops on MUP.SYS. Everytime. Not sure if it's MUP.SYS that has problem, or the thing after it. I don't have a win xp home cd, just an xp pro cd. A bit stuck here. I did try loading up XP Pro temporarily on a seperate folder so that I could get to the hard drive using Explorer and see if any files were corrupt, or try to do some maintenance from inside XP Pro, but I'm a bit stuck now. I also tried to do some repair using the XP Pro cd before I installed XP Pro, but that didn't seem to help. Please can you help? Tag: Can't access Windows Firewall Tag: 807564

    - Keyboard/Mouse Freeze after Fresh Install I have some brand new desktops that I am making a dual boot for each system with Linux and Windows. On 1 system, I am having an issue with the USB keyboard and mouse in Windows only. Linux is working perfectly. During the fresh Windows install which includes formating the partition with the supplied XP SP2 CD, everything is fine. I installed the needed software, and driver and rebooted windows. Then the mouse and keyboard freeze after the automtic login of the user created during the install. I have used the same software (i.e. scanner and printer drivers etc...) on the other systems and the drivers for the hardware (NIC, video card etc...) are off the cd that was supplied with the system so a virus should not be an issue. The bios, usb ports and other hardware should be fine because Linux is running like a champ. The other desktop systems, which are identical, work with Linux and Windows with no issues. Any ideas what is causing this issue Tag: Can't access Windows Firewall Tag: 807563

Computers - XP/SP2 with all patches, Office2003/SP2 I have 2 people in my orginization that can use Windows Explorer to view files on multiple mapped drives with no issues When they use File, Open in Word or Excel, the computer stops responding and the customers have to Task Manager to close Word or Excel.

    - Win Error 142 in simulation program: Refer.mdb, isinteg.exe Dear News, I am using a so-called 'finite-element' simulation program to study materials. The name of the program is ABAQUS. Occasionally - not always (!) - the computation comes to a grinding halt with error 142: ABAQUS Error: The executable C:\ABAQUS\6.6-3\exec\standard.exe aborted with system error code 142. A discussion within an ABAQUS mailing list come up with: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681382(VS.85).aspx which indicates that error code 142 is associated with a drive problem (ERROR_BUSY_DRIVE). Perhaps this will help you debug things. The error is not listed in the Windows event viewer. Nonetheless, I typed the EventID in the appropriate box on www.eventid.net and got: ... Details Comments and links for event id 142 from source ESE97 which carries us to: Event ID: 142 Source ESE97 Type Error Description The database disk is full. Things to understand When can a disk become full? Comments Ionut Marin (Last update 11/30/2003): As per Microsoft: "This behavior can occur if there is not enough free space on the drive to create the Refer.mdb file". See M258301 to fix this problem. The direct link to M258301 is for cash only. But I did find http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258301/en-us XADM: How to Run Isinteg -t When Isinteg Fails Because of Lack of Disk Space In this context also: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182081/EN-US/ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125144(EXCHG.80).aspx http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B301460&x=15&y=5 Unfortunately, I'm too dumb to get it. I wouldn't know that I am using a program 'Microsoft Exchange'. Also, neither Refer.mdb nor isinteg.exe could be located in my number cruncher. Is anyone able to throw light on how to quench this error ? It would be marvellous if someone could explain to a PC dummy what to do. I am using Win XP Professional with Service Pack 2 installed. The problem did persist when running a simulation on another, almost completely void drive on the same PC. Thanks for any advice !

    - Looking for assistance using MyLogon for XP Hi A while ago, I posted a question and was given a suggestion to use a product called MyLogon, which would allow my 5 XP Home workstations to access a server of sorts--actually all machines are/would be in a peer to peer network where each client has its own sets of files stored on this sort of file server. Well, by the time I got to actually doing the work, the post was purged and, naturally, I am not being able to get the process to work properly. I am able to validate a logon on the client machine but that is not what I had originally wanted. I have not seen a description of what is needed on the Server side to allow Client access. I have set up a User Account with a password on the server for each Client and then provided that User Name with password on the corresponding Client. I have set up a folder for each client in the Shared Folders on the Server. When the client attempts to enter the network password, they are advised that the server is found but the logon has failed. The logon has failed but it is not because the password is incorrect-- I have entered/deleted/added etc to no avail. Again, as I understand it, the user code/password is set up on the client but I do not see details of what is needing to be done on the server side. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance Bob Tag: Can't access Windows Firewall Tag: 807543

    - Beginner's Question: Adding a 2nd Monitor to my XP System Hello I just got a new 22" monitor, which my Nvidia Quadro FX3000 is able to drive without problems (I'm not a gamer - just regular office type applications user). Instead of eBaying my old 17" monitor, I thought maybe I can use it to increase my monitor real estates. The FX3000 video card comes with two DVI ports, so I hooked up the old screen to the second DVI port on the FX3000, but everything just slowed down to a crawl, obviously the card can't handle 2 monitors. Do you think installing a second PCI video card would solve the problem? I don't have any experience building systems so advice is appreciated. Also, would I need to buy any special software for the two video cards to work together? Thanks. Tag: Can't access Windows Firewall Tag: 807540

    - Cleaning up laptop A young lady friend was just given a new laptop for her birthday and she gave me her old Compac 700. It came with the usual stuff that Comapc and Hewlett-Packard pre-install on all their machine and since this old one only has a 40GB hard drive it is already three quarters full. I would like to get rid of everything and leave only the operating system, thus making the machine even "cleaner" than it came out of the factory. Then I would install Open Office Suite and nothing else which will leave me lots of room for personal files. As usual with HP and Compaq, I don't have the actual Windows XP software.

    - Why Does WinXP Keep Installing A Screensaver???? Unfortunately, I've had a handful of occasions now where I've had to reinstall WinXP due to hard drive failure. Each time, and *inevitably* so, WinXP will sooner or later decide to "give" me a screensaver even though I always specify that I want no screensaver. I don't know how it happens, I don't know what triggers it, all I know is that eventually one day my screen is suddenly displaying the MS WinXP logo screensaver without my asking for it. What's going on, please??

So I installed a second one that did not work well in the computer. But installing the third one in the same slot (there is only one pci slot in this computer) did not get recognized. And now it does not recognize any pnp cards in this slot. What can I do? Is it something in the services, or does it need something else to be done? Tag: Can't access Windows Firewall Tag: 807502

    - Too quick message to be read I assist a friend with his genuine Windows XP Home Edition computer, assuring all the updates are done and the Antivrus and Antyspyware programs are regularly run; I was unable to help him on this: from some time a very quick message (with sound) appears low on the screen at irregular intervals. It is impossible to read the message because of the short permanency. I checked the Events logs and the message is not related to any system logged event.

I have a keyboard and mouse with a variety of programmable keys but I can't find a shortcut to minimize just the *one* window in use. Is there such a thing?

I need to make a change to my firewall settings. However, when I go to
"Windows Firewall" on the Control Panel, I get the following message:

"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall
settings."

Yikes! I don't know what happened and am at a loss as to what to do to
remedy this.

Can someone help me out? I'd really appreciate it!

You will probably find that the Windows Firewall service is not started.
Maybe it will allow a manual start.
start/run, type:

services.msc

see Windows Firewall

Is there another firewall, such as Norton Internet Security, or McAfee?
If so, they may have disabled the Windows firewall.
