    - Firewall problem. Hi. This problem had only developed recently, and I haven't changed anything I'm aware of. Can anyone throw some light please? XP pro, SP2, full updates. (Not seen SP3 at all). Dual core intel CPU, 2 gig ram, 8800GTX graphics. High spec home PC. I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client. It has been working perfectly under all updates for years. I use Zonealarm (free) as a firewall, and have a Sky router and broadband with it's internal firewall. Windows firewall is off. This has all been in place for a long time and nothing has been modified, moved of even had the dust wiped off. The problem is... I suddenly realised I hadn't had any mails for three days. I thought no one wanted to talk to me, so I checked with my provider to find all is OK there. Checked for updates on thunderbird, all up to date. Checked Zonealarms permissions, and thunderbird had nice big green ticks allowing access. Still no email. Disable zone alarm. Email flows. Aha, whats up with ZA I wonder? I reload it, delete the current entry for thunderbird and force it to ask for permissions again. They are granted, but still no mail through ZA. Shut ZA, mail flows. Hmmmmm. Uninstall ZA. Install another firewall, Agnitum Outpost. *IT* won't allow email either after granting permissions. Close it down, email flows. Hmmmmmmmmm. Uninstall Outpost, install ZA suite, the latest, paid for setup. Email asks for permission, but no mail! Arghhhhhhh. Shut it down, mail flows. So, what have these steps got in common? 3 firewalls, none will pass email even with permission granted, but when shut down it works ok. Not hardware related. Which software? ZA? Outpost? Or is it a windows thing? Has there been a security update that is interfering maybe? All other internet activity works OK. I can play online games at good pings with ZA in place, surf, usenet etc. Please, can anyone help? Thanks. Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324197

    - microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics folders I presently subscribe to just this Microsoft newsgroup. Whenever I open its folder, the highlighted number (in brackets) after the group's name, which shows how many messages are unread), will often not relate to the actual unread messages. For example, the highlighted number can be 24 but there can be as few as 4 or 5 actual unread messages. Sometimes, when there are no actual unread messages, there is a highlighted number showing. If I close the folder and then immediately open it, the highlighted number will often change to a different number. Using the "Catch Up" facility does not stop this happening. It's no big problem, just annoying. Advice much appreciated. Joe Steele Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324176

    - Startup message from System Configuration Utility I used "msconfig" to get rid of a "DevDtc2.exe" error message on startup. Now when I bootup I get the following: You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts. The Sys Config Utility is currently in Diagnostic of Selective Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to run every time Windows starts. Choose the Normal Startup mode on the General tab to start Windows normally and undo the changes you made using the Sys Config Utility. Does this mean there is something wrong with my computer or should I just choose "Normal Startup" on the General Tab? Thanks in advance. Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324173

    - Uninstalling SP3 The sequence is like this: I installed SP3 and had no trouble doing so, or any observed irregularities thereafter. Then HP told me to upgrade the ATI BIOS in my Compaq Presario, and I did. Now the bad news: Some of the USB ports are now invisible, and HP and AMD say that's because I never upgraded to .NET Framework 2.0. I had 2.0 a while back and uninstalled it because of incompatibility with other software. It seems there's no way to live stably in this electronic world. I pulled one of my pre-SP3 clones into service, and it works with the old BIOS and I'm thinking of uninstalling SP3 from my Master Drive, along with the 'upgraded' BIOS. In truth, my system was not broke, and it didn't need fixing with either SP3 or the upgraded BIOS. So my question is, is there a safe, convenient, reasonable way to uninstall SP3? I see it in Add/Remove Programs...is that all there is, just Remove it there? Will that put me back just as XP was before I installed SP3? Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324171

    - Draging item into folder opens that folder. I don't want it too I'm organzing HUNDREDS of graphics on my machine in Windows Explorer. I created basic folders with titles to organize them into. Now I am finding my old folders that hold my graphics and am dragging them into the newly created folders. Problem is ever time I drag one over, the new folder automatically opens up to display all the files in it. Is there a way to stop that? I have to close the folder every time because it then pushes my other folders below out of sight. Is it possible to force folders to NOT open when dragging items or folders into them via Windows Explorer? Thanks so much! Nancy Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324164

    - I have starzplay and Zune downloaded, but they will not play. Help I have downloaded from Verizon, starzplay. And I just bought a Zune. I have downloaded starzplay since June 5th. And cannot get it to play. An error message comes up saying the starz tray has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have talked with verizon techs, starzplay people, and have numerous trouble tickets waiting... no luck. Then with my new Zune, last night I installed the software, then to my amazement, it said that it is finished installing and then I went to sync, and the error message came up and said that Zune has encountered a problem and needs to close. These programs have to be related somehow, I am so frustrated. Thank you in advance for the help. -- diana Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324163

    - M/Bd Sound My drivers on my mother board for the 'onboard' sound keep disappearing. I have to put the M/Bd Cd back in and reinstall. This happens quite a lot. M/Bd L7VMM2 Socket A. I have had this board for a few years now and never given trouble like this before. I have just reformatted the drive and reinstalled XP but it is still happening. I tried a Sound card I had and that worked ok but it altered all my Capture Card installation and rendered that inoperable. As it's a new install I wouldn't expect any viruses or spyware. Any help please. Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324152

    - Monitor won't start, stays yellow on LED I changed my motherboard battery and it turned out it was dead, because the PC wouldn't fire up at all, just dead. When I went through everything you could think of, reseating the RAM, checking the power supply, changing the video card, changing the hard drive, changing the monitor and finally taking the heatsink and fan assembly off , cleaning it and reapplying the arctic silver, it turned out to be the motherboard battery. I forgot completely about that. But, when I finally replaced it and then fired it up, the monitor stayed yellow in the LED. I changed the jumper on the motherboard over to default, or to the other prong, whatever you want to call it, it has 3 prongs and I changed it over from 1 to 2 or from 2 to 3 whatever. When I did that the PC didn't even fire up. Nothing! When I changed it back to the original position it fired up, but the same problem of the monitor not working. Now there was progress because nothing was happening when you pushed the power button. Now you get the fans moving and the hard drive spinning or getting warm. Maybe it's the hard drive? I did check the hard drive and replaced it with another one. I'm going to try a new hard drive that hasn't been used before and give that a shot. One thing, if you change the motherboard battery and then you have problems you should be able to adjust the jumper on the motherboard to default and then switch it back. Even the tech at Dell said to do that and it would be ok. I guess not. Well, the motherboard is a M7VIG 400 that supports AMD processors and the chip is an AMD Sempron 2200. I think it's the motherboard that's screwy. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, attilathehun1 -- attilathehun1 Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324148

    - Where the new window will open I use two monitors for an expanded desktop. How do you control where new windows will open. Often I'll be using explorer to look at something, and click a link to open a new window, and it pops up on the other screen, or when doing repetitive work, the new window will begin to creep towards the edge of screen 1 after several repititions of opening and closing, to eventually begin appearing, half on one screen and half on another. Is there a setting or technique I can use to anchor where the new window opens, so it's consistent time after time? RES Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324143

    - System Restore disabled on reboot I am running XP Home with SP3. I have a problem that existed before installing SP3.. When I rebooot the PC and goto System restore, I get the prompt that tells me that SR has been turned off. I go to the SR screen and enable it, create a restore point and it all works fine. When I reboot the PC, SR gets switched off somehow and it goes back to the SR turned off message. I have inspected logs using event viewer and after reboot their is an entry " Event 116 System Monitoring disabled on reboot". This happens every time I reboot.

    - CMOS after changing mobo battery Ok, I found out all I needed to do was to change the 3 volt 2032 motherboard battery and all would have been ok. Instead I reseated the RAM sticks, changed the power supply, changed the video card, changed the IDE parallel straps, changed the monitor, changed the hard drive, and finally took out the motherboard and removed the heatsink and fan asembly off the CPU chip and checked the chip out. After all that it turns out the reason the PC stopped working was the little 3 volt battery on the motherboard. It worked again for a little while, maybe a day after I changed the monitor. Just like a flashlight that is going dead, after you sit it for a while the next day you will get some power and it will work for a while and then dim out. Tell tail signs of battery failure. By accident I was checking this new battery checker device that I bought from Home Depot and I needed batteries to check to see if the settings worked and found out the battery wasn't working. Ok, now lets get to the CMOS. There is a CMOS jumper on the motherboard that I see. What do I need to do to the jumper or do I need to physically do anything on the mobo or just go into BIOS and configure something there? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    - old update problem? XP Pro SP 2 I just looked over my update log and found one failure from some time back, altho I didn't see a failure notice at the time. That was Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (JB928366}. On Microsoft I saw that quite a few people had that problem, and the solution was to download it manually (address given) and install it manually. With Framework 2 installed in the intervening time, should I or should I not download and try to install the old failed update? Would installing the old update backlevel something so that I would need to reinstall Framework 2?

    - USB Port not working in XP IBM Netvista, latest BIOS, XP-P with latest patches/updates. Symptoms appear on SP2 as well as SP3. All of a sudden I lost my USB Ports on the computer. I think it happened because of a power failure, but not sure. I hear the pacifier beep in the speaker when connecting my mouse or thumb drive, however, neither responds. the mouse LED lights, but cursor remains in the middle of the screen. I don't have a USB keyboard so I can't test the USB connection during BOOT. I suspect it will work. The mouse will not be recognized until the OS loads. The thumb drive makes the same beep, but I never see it displayed as a removable drive or any drive for that matter. The PS2 mouse works just fine. Using a USB to PS2 adaptor does not work either. Any ideas?? I'm stumpbed on this one. The MSKB isn't of any help so far. Thanks Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324065

    - Battery failure Would your computer stop working all of a sudden one day if the motherboard battery, the 2032 organize battery I think, stops working? The computer worked when I changed the monitor but then it stopped working shortly after that. Then it didn't matter what monitor I tried, it just wouldn't fire up. I checked everything almost, reseated the RAM, checked the power supply, tried another video card, checked the hard drive, used different parallel straps. I mean I went through all I could think of, except the motherboard battery. By accident I discovered that it wasn't working. Do you think that could be the problem? Is that a common problem of a PC going on the blink? Would it start up after a rest and then finally shut down? It seems like the battery on my flashlights get better once they aren't on, but once you turn the flashlight back on, the flashlight dims out. I'm thinking about putting the whole PC back together now and trying out a battery that I know works. Ok, this is the truth. I took out the battery and changed it with another one and I think the one I changed it with was bad. I'm not sure, but I know I did change the battery. I was trying out my battery tester and found out the right option on the tester to test 3 and 1 1/2 volt batteries. So, I'm not sure if the original battery I took out was good or bad. That's why I'm asking if it's a common problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, attilathehun1 -- attilathehun1 Tag: video card making noise Tag: 324050

    - Mouse problem I have been searching for a couple of days but am so unsure if I am doing the right thing, I am posting here. I am trying to play "80 days around the world" and when I do, my cursor shakes, I have reinstalled both the nvidia graphics and the video drivers, uninstalled the game, and manually removing the game folder and also software entries in both hkey machine and hkey user. I also did a search for the game on my computer and deleted everything that came up by that name. Then reinstalled the game, but still my cursor is shaking. I thought it could be my driver for my mouse but the mouse seems to be working ok otherwise . I went to device manager and found that it is listed as a Microsoft ps/2 mouse, ? but know it is a microsoft optical! , $14 at OFFICE max..:) I cannot find my mouse drive, the one that came with the mouse.

    - Beed Help - Folder Permissions I am using the so-called Solutions Center for the HP 7200 series AIO, and cannot get the scan function to save what I scan. It shows an error message saying that it cannot do the save. I am using XP PRO SP2. I had created a new folder called c:\My Scans, but I notice the properties say read only. Naturally, I suspect this is my problem, but when I remove the check on read only, it comes right back again. That is, it won't let me remove the check. The XP Helps show that I should be able to change permissions, but it shows doing it via a security tab under the folder's properties. I see no such tab. What am I missing? Am I in the right place to do what I want to do? Do you think this is why I cannot save what I scan? I am the only user of this system with Administrator privileges, I think.

    - ? regarding device manager I have a motherboard (ASUS IPIBL-LA) on an HP computer (M9040N) that was intended for vista. I don't like vista so I wiped it clean and installed xp home. With the help of forums I found drivers for everything so my device manager is clean. My original intent for this computer was something fast for HD video editing. Is my system going to function at 100% or could it be compromised not using the intended OS. If the device manager shows no problems then can I assume everything is OK?

    - I need your help Allen wrote: Hi everybody, I need your help. I got the blue screen. It said something about system files. Now, the computer does not work. It goes into some kind of cycle. It goes through all the booting procedures, until it comes to a black screen which asks something like this: if you want to start window in the normal mode, safe mode, safe mode with command line, safe mode without net word or recover to the best last configuration. During this, there is a count down from; I think 29 to 0 and all start again. Can someone help? I do not want to lose my programs and files. I also got the following: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. . . The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI complaint. Please contact your system vendor or visit www.hardware-update.com for an updated BIOS. If you are unable to obtain an updated BIOS or the latest BIOS supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant, you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, simply, press F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that F7 key was pressed- it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation Technical information ***stop: OX00000011, OX00000007, OXF790EOCO, OX0100000D -- Thanks Allen Tag: video card making noise Tag: 323946

    - Alert message A few times, when booting up, an alert message appears just before the splash screen comes on. The message flashes by too quickly to read, but it begins with something about previous boots. Is there anyway to track down the message to know what it says? I have experienced no problems, but I am curious. Tag: video card making noise Tag: 323943

I have an ATI Fire GL X1 AGP Pro graphics card and the fan is making noise.
In fact it's been making noise now for almost a year, but it used to be just
when I started it after it had been shut down for a while. Now, it's doing it
constantly. If you can take a look at it on ATI's website, what do you think
about taking the fan off and replacing it with a Zalman GPU fan. Or is it
possible to do that with this card?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1

You should ask this in a hardware group or forum, probably one focused on
ATI. This has nothing to do with Windows XP or Microsoft products.

This Google search produced a lot of likely looking places:

Remove fan from card,access the fan axle,remove the plastic bushing(s),
remove fan rotor,clean parts with rubbing alcohol.Reasemble & lightly
coating with auto grease or auto engine oil (use sparingly),once thru,chk the
fan rotation,install to card.
