    - Where is SP3? I have Auto-update set for "Notify me but let me choose when to download." A month or so ago, SP3 was offered and I didn't dl it right away, just left the shield sitting there. About two weeks ago, I decided I had the time to install it so I clicked on the "Download." The shield went away and I assumed the update would be available for installation shortly. But two weeks later it still hasn't shown up. Is it normal for the SP3 update to take so long to download? Reply-to address is real John Tag: localized version Tag: 1934698

    - Hard Drive activity Is it normal for the hard drive to be constantly active? While looking at a web page, without clicking any links, I notice that the hard drive light is continually flashing. I also noticed that the CPU usage went as high as 50% when I was simply viewing a web page. What might be the cause of this? I ran a virus scan with NOD 32 and it came up empty.

    - windows will not boot, and now will not install Ok bear with me as I try to explain this. -There was a power outage in my area and my computer restarted. After restarting it would hang at the Windows loading screen with the blue bar, and it would stay like that forever. -I went into safe mode which works fine and tried a system restore to an earlier date, and still wouldn't load. -Went back into safe mode and it said Restoration Complete. Ran msconfig to do a diagnostic boot...still no luck. -Ran chkdsk /r using Recovery Console, said it fixed the errors but still hangs at the same screen. Ran Samsung HD utility and detected ECC errors. -Tried to do a Repair Windows installation using an original Windows cd, so it was SP1 when I had SP2. I tried a Windows XP Pro SP2 cd but there was no repair option so I went to my original, which was Home. -Through the install there was a few errors such as COM+, directdb.dll, inetcomm.dll,msoe.dll and wab32.dll. I clicked okay with all of them and installation completed fine. -After restarting, loading would be REALLY slow, and actually wouldn't go past the wallpaper. I checked task manager and explorer.exe isn't even there. -Went into safe mode, which was super slow as well, and same thing with the no icons. Ran safe mode with Command prompt and opened system restore, only to find no restore points. -Got my hands on a Sp3 Windows Home cd, and got it to the Installing files screen where it shows a Do you wish to install this non verified SoundMAX HD audio driver, and it freezes. It said this when I first did the Repair install but I could get past it, this time my mouse/keyboard freezes up. I am now at a loss as to what I should do other than formatting. Any help guys?

    - good backup/imaging software? Looking to do a one-time hard-drive image for back-up. Not something that continually monitors changes, but something I can run whenever I feel the need to perform a backup to save to a DVD and load in the event of a system crash. Preferably free (if anything is available). I've bought a computer with three recovery CDs I can use to restore the computer to the state in which I bought it, but I have made so many changes since then, I would like to make a new recovery disc (DVD preferably). The CDs I have load Norton Ghost in a DOS environment. From there, I can choose to load from image to disc (I think is the option). Can I use this same app to backup and create a new and more current image? Thanks in advance for any help in this (I know very little about backup and recovery software).

    - burning files on cd question. http://www.nerd-out.com/darrenk/1500/1500_firmware.htm The above site gives information on how to burn a file on a cd. It says(in the middle of the page) "Burn U1500AM.ROM to a blank CD-R/CD-RW. Be sure to apply these specifications before burning the disc: Data CD, ISO9660, Mode 1, "Close"/"Finalize" disc session. " How do you apply the specifications: "Data CD, ISO9660, Mode 1, "Close"/"Finalize" disc session" to the cd when I burn files on it??? The article also says the cd file must be exactly 524,288 bytes. I burned the file without the specifications and it was only 421,888 bytes. Is it because the specifications were not applied? How do I apply the specifications? Thank you in advance. Tag: localized version Tag: 1934642

    - Fragmentation of large video file OS=Windows XP Pro SP2 I downloaded a 1 hour video, file dn008.0318.mp4 from democracynow.com using the video player Miro.exe. The 451,294 KB, file had 6,264 fragments. When I use this process I typically get this degree of high fragmentation. Q1 - Is such high fragmentation to be expected with video files? Or does this indicate that I have a problem? Windows defrag couldn't defrag it (or several other video files.) Piniform defraggler showed 3 fragments after Defragging it. Information will be appreciated, Stan Hilliard Tag: localized version Tag: 1934641

    - Microsoft Optional Hardware (Optional) Update Recently, I selected the update, "SIS-Display-SIS 741", from the subject site and restarted my computer, running WindowsXP Home. At the end of the reboot, a pop-up titled "keyhook.exe - Entry Point Not Found". The enclosed text read: RealKeySting@CSISReg@SAHPAD0H0PAUHKEY__@@K@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SISBase.dll. Microsoft's Download History indicated the update completed, I found "SIS-Display-SIS 741 in the Device Manager and diabled it. The pop-up error message repeated for several reboots. Finally, I enabled, SIS-Display-SIS 741. A search indicated Keyhook.exe" was located at C:\WINDOWS\system32. It was not readily available during a physical check, which is a little confusing. The only other thing I can think of is to see if I can get, keyhook.exe, off the internet and install it. However I'm not familiar with whether I can get it or where to put it. I could use a lot of help on this, please. Tag: localized version Tag: 1934635

    - KB936929 I have the shield by my clock which says "updates are ready for your computer". Clicked on it and eventually it said it was for SP3. I canceled out all the panels and now I still have the shield saying I have updates. I'd rather not have SP3 (had d/ld a few months ago and was lucky in that it found errors and didn't take), so how can I get rid of this shield? Tag: localized version Tag: 1934634

    - Manually Removing Certain Registry Key Types What are the possible consequences of manually removing the following type of registry key: hkey_local_machine \software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\internet settings\zonemap\domains\ (website) If my understanding is correct, the values of this key will set the security/privacy settings of the IE browser for the specified website. For the case of malware, the malware would create this key and set the security level to "Trusted" for the website. It would then direct the browser to the website and run more malicious code from that site. Using REGEDIT, I looked to see how many keys I had of this type and found a huge amount. I estimate about 500. None of the websites are those that I visit regularly, or maybe never visited at all. A lot of them seem to have foreign domains. I want to get rid of them. It seems like the registry saves everything. There is also the potential embarrassment factor. A worst case scenario is that a computer savy girlfriend inspects my registry and demands to know why I have a key from moscowwhores.com. I don't remember ever visiting this site and it's not really the way I roll. These keys have two parameters: REG_SZ (value not set) and REG_DWORD = 0x00000004 (4) Can anyone tell me what these values mean? What could go wrong if I engage in mass deletement of these type of keys. Thanks Scott Los Angeles Tag: localized version Tag: 1934632

    - can't transfer animation file to website files I have a webpage that was created for me that contains animation. I want to transfer this webpage to my website files on the internet. I have this file stored on my computer in the MY Documents section. Everytime I open this file on my computer the animation is blocked and I have to right click the script and active x warning bar that pops up and click allow. I need to transfer this file to my website files, but when I do, the animation does not come with it. How can I stop internet explorer from blocking the animation so that I can transfer the COMPLETE file to my website files? The animation company made the program on a MAC if that will help you. My OS is WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION My browser is now Internet Explorer 6 because I uninstalled Internet Explorer 7 thinking that would help, but it didn't. I need this done now, but none of ther help sections show how to do it. So what do I do? Completely shut down all security just to transfer that one file? And if so ...how do I do it? I have tried using FTP, but the same thing happens. The words transfer, but not any of the animation, yet if functions perfectly on my PC (as long as I right click that stupid allow active content bar. -- Tony G. Tag: localized version Tag: 1934624

    - Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt C:\windows\system32\config\system Switched on my 2nd PC tonight and got a black dos screen :- Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt C:\windows\system32\config\system ...rather than wade through http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 I've just booted from Norton Ghost cd and am now restoring a Norton Ghost *.v2i full hd backup taken 13-08-2008, from 2nd hd (in same the machine), and its' now 58% into "Copying volume data over existing volume" This PC has been as solid as a rock for many weeks, ...nay ...several months ! Any ideas as to what could have knocked it for six ? I replaced the D-sub monitor lead with a DVI-D lead before I switched it on, ...can't believe that this blew up the registry !!!! ...have been trying to think what I could have done to it, the last time I used it but, I'm sure I didn't do anything nasty or stupid.

    - Sound card not visible after OS Re-Instalation. Greetings, Due to miscellaneous problems, I just reformated my hard drive and re-installed the OS from disks. Unfortunately, in spite of the fact that the BIOS indicates that sound functionality is enabled, the hardware menu under the system folder does not show the sound hardware and or drivers. Perhaps the built-in sound card has gone bad? Or is anyone else aware of any BIOS/OS parameter and/or installation I can execute to re-add the sound hardware and drivers? Otherwise, any tips on pinpointing the sound card as the faulty component would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. Jean-Pierre Tag: localized version Tag: 1934565

    - Service Users and domain printer mapping I have a machine that uses a Users running at the service level and am trying to map a printer shared off of a win98 computer that is part of our 2000 level domain. The machine that the service user is running on is not part of the domain. It is fairly heavily customized and seems to be having problems keeping the mapping. I can map the printer manually no problem but it doesn't seem to want to remember the password(even though we checked the box) and I can't access the keymgr so I can't set that to remember any passwords. Any Ideas? Tag: localized version Tag: 1934546

    - FTP Problem Hi, I am having a very odd problem with FTP. Basically, it won't work. The FTP client seems to connect but then issues an error and no files appear on the remote server. The last time I needed to use FTP was in February of this year, and it worked fine. Now, when I try it, it goes nowhere. I have tried several different FTP clients and accounts, all with the same outcome. It is not a firewall problem; I run only Win XP Pro firewall and have tried it with that disabled + anything else that even MIGHT effect connections. I have tried it in Safe Mode with no success which makes me think it is not a conflict with another app - though I don't believe I have added anything lately. I am attaching the Session Log from WS_FTP Pro to the end of this note in case that might help. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

In my home network, when I view My Network Places, I see every available share on all computers on the network.

    - Hanging up at shut down problem Dell XPS Home - 300 G hard drive, 4 G RAM XP/SP3 Kaspersky Internet Suite 7.0- SpybotSearch & Destroy-Spyblaster- Windows Defender- All Windows Updates current: For about a month, when I shut down my pc, shut down seems to 'hang'. I get the normal shut down screen,"savings settings' windows is shutting down'etc." Then a second or two later, get a black screen, and then back to shutting down, etc. again. This time my pc does shut down. I cannot pinpoint anything I could have done to cause this. Only changes made during this timeframe is uninstalling previous version of S &D & installing latest version (V1.6.0.31) and installing any windows/office 2007 updates. Also installed a second printer. I am NOT very experienced in how to troubleshoot what could be causing this. i was advised to look at the Event Log, but that is way over my knowledge to interpret. Also was suggested to do this (below) but I don't know what that is, or what it does, so didn't know if I should try that or not?? I would appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer me, but please, explain in simple terms or steps that i can follow. Thank you so much for your assistance.

    - tweak TCP/IP stack How do I tweak the TCP/IP stack in XP? I have DSL at about 2 Mb/sec. Eventually, I will upgrade to FIOS. I suppose that there is software that I can download & I know that there are Registry settings that I can change or add. Is there a wizard in XP (I have XP Pro.) that I can use to tweak the TCP/IP stack? Does TweakUI or Powertoys tweak the TCP/IP stack? So, in other words, what are my options? Thank you.

That is, the files and folders beginning with "Z" are at the top of the list. I can correct it temporarily by right-clicking and choosing "sort by name" but the next time I invoke File/Open or File/Save it is backwards again.

    - FTP Problem Hi, I am having a very odd problem with FTP. Basically, it won't work. The FTP client seems to connect but then issues an error and no files appear on the remote server. The last time I needed to use FTP was in February of this year, and it worked fine. Now, when I try it, it goes nowhere. I have tried several different FTP clients and accounts, all with the same outcome. It is not a firewall problem; I run only Win XP Pro firewall and have tried it with that disabled + anything else that even MIGHT effect connections. I have tried it in Safe Mode with no success which makes me think it is not a conflict with another app - though I don't believe I have added anything lately. I am attaching the Session Log from WS_FTP Pro to the end of this note in case that might help. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

    - Is this normal? I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 and use AVG 8.0 as my sole Antivirus and Antispyware protection. I scan once a week and update everyday. I have been using this product for a few years (since AVG 6) and not once (okay, maybe once or twice in three years) has it found a virus or spyware, other than tracking cookies. I don't use the internet very often except to visit "mainly" the links in my Favorites list. I also do several Google searches, but also use AVG's Link Checker to navigate to safe pages only. Is it normal to be 100% virus and spyware free, or is AVG letting viruses and spyware through without seeing it? Or maybe I am simply fortunate to not have run into any malware as such? (I have visited some "questionable" sites before and even then, had no threats found!) I don't ever get pop ups or a slow computer environment (characteristic of spyware) and my home page has never changed. I don't think any unauthorized programs are doing something they shouldn't, based on normal computer activity. Does it sound like my computer is clean? Is AVG a good product, or am I unknowingly infected by threats? Or is it too hard to say? Or am I asking too many questions! Tag: localized version Tag: 1934378

Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a Portuguese version of windows
xp home that came installed on my laptop for the past 2 years. I really hate
the translation of it, a lot of times things are really poorly translated or
just apear in brazilian which is even worse. I don't know if I can use a
Windows Home English CD from a friend and install it on this pc and use this
pc serial, dunno if it's language locked, I hope not. I really just want to
have it in english.

Have you thought about Multi lingual user interface (MUI) you can get these
cds from Microsoft (dont know if you pay) but there you can instal the
english language, instead of getting an english Windows XP cd
