here are the easy steps to get you printer to work on both PC
from the ultimate PC right click you network icon. open network and sharing. the icon that represent your network must be set to home then look for choose homegroup and sharing follow the stes to set up a home group and share files and folder. this should take care of all the sharing including the printer.if the printer is not shared go to devices and printer, right click on the printer and shoose share, got it a name you want. then go to the other pc. you can do the same step but this time just enter the paswowrd that was create for the home group on the ultimate PC, it will join the home group and the shared printer will be push to your premium PC.

are you using a CD or a flash drive for the installation Media.
Does the Installations stop at the same section each time
is the cd drive a IDE or sata
how did you check the hard Drive for error.
base on your answers here are some other sugestions
format the drive in another computer use fat32 and full format
do a check disk with the drive attach to another PC
check the CD drive or burn another copy( rip a copy of the current cd to ISO then creadte another CD from the ISO)

you should mark this as solved

any time you try to boot or install and your PC freezes, it's always point to the HDD.

take a look at this link and see if any of these dianostic light will help you to resolve your issue.

also when the monitor is connected to the PC if you turn it off then back on does the light come on green then go to orange? if so the monitor is not the problem.

go into the bios and set the cd drive to legacy. then try booting again

Hi, I work from home and with a wireless router had my g/fs and my own personal computer connected wirelessly and with my work computer connected into the router via Ethernet cable. I then used Win Xp VPN to connect to the company network.

Now they have sent me a 2nd router, which is not wireless. I now wire router #1 (the one they sent) to the modem and the work computer connects to router #1. Router #2 (wireless) also connects to router #1 and the personal computers connect to router #2. They set up a VPN ipsec tunnel to the company network integrated into router #1.

My question is: Can they pick up traffic from my personal computers which are wirelessly connected to router #2? I notice I can type in one of the company server local IP addresses (i.e., 192.XXX) on my personal computer and get the page that would be otherwise inaccessible.

yes they will be able to see what you do base on the config you have, all traffic are going throught the first router connected to the modem,

Open Control Panel, In the Control Panel double click System. then go the system Properties window, click on the Advanced tab. Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button.
In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.
clcik k twice. now when the system shuts down you will get a BSOD it will tell you the error. However, if you are getting the message in this picture then you have a trojan/virus/malware

only if it has a burner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if it would recognize a ISO ,mac and windows are like apples and oranges,DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes it will recognized an iso image but burning is quite different take a look at this

Good one, and some programs with have to be closed and reopened for the setting to take effect

the installation has to be completed before you can uninstall. try this procedure to uninstall http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177

anyone can help me, every time i run my XP Cd to format my pc, set up will run and restart every time the set up turn into Windows NT. How can i format my pc...anyone help me please..thanks

set the bios to boot from the cd, ensure you have a bootable cd. you also want to ensure the Hard drive jumpers are set properly. and the data cable for the hard drive is securely connected.

download IE V7 reinstall then restart, then try to uninstall it.you can download IE here

go to the control panel and then internet option the click the tad that says programs. set the default mail program there this is only valid if you have another email program installed like windows live mail, Thunderbird, Microsoft outlook or any third party email program.

if you crat the share on one pc and try to do the back up from another you have to give the second pc access permission to the drive and permission MUST include read/write.

check system properties and see if the nic is disables or have a yellow ? over it. update the drive and try again

you can give the user right to create while you hide all the other folders from them. so when they browse C: they will only see one folder, the one they create.

use another pc and a flash drive

your pc is infected with some malware. you should run adaware, spybot Search and destroy. just so you know malware and trojan alwas target system restore point, so that if you restore you are still infected

no you will not be able to use Home edition key on a pro version and vise versa

yu will NOT be able to lok the external drive unless you use some 3rd party software. an external drive is like putting in a flash drive any one will have access to it when they are logged on. Google for a program to lock you folders

When you reformat the drive, did you use quick format or standard. and at what stage does the computer freezes, as soon as it start, after a few minutes, when you try to run a program.

ok but in Windows XP Home you can't make a folder private unless the foler is under you profile and the account have a password

do you have NTFS or fat32 file system, right click the hard drive choose properties and look at the drive type. if you have ntfs we can go on to get your folder to be private

See the image i upload to assist you. if you don't see that option then some thing is seriously wrong with you PC

on the mother board there should be a jumper to reset the bios. reset the bios then see if the error goes away.

you have to turn off simple file sharing, open my computer, click on tools folder option then the view tab, the in the advance section scroll down and lok for simple file sharing recommended, remove the check mark click ok.

maybe it's not the power supply but the configuration of the power panel on the mother board. are you certain that the connection are in the correct place, positive to + and negative to -, does the power connection to the mother board fits correctly and not crossed.

How many ports do you have on the switch. make and model

basically you connect the modem to one of the port on the switch then connect you ethernet cable to the switch. i had a similar connection but gave it up because it was so hard to configure.

any type of connection you use to get to the internet on any PC you should install antivirus and firewall. there are many free and excellent ones out there. and yes connect the DSL to the router then the pc's to the router.

you have things all wrong, does the DSL have wireless capability??
connect the DSl to the router. then config your router and connect each wireless devices through the router.

download vundofix and run in safe mode. also download combofix and run in safe mode (follow instruction for combofix. carefully)

you seem to be on the right track but to shed some more light a wipe is just like a format. the mania difference is the setting you can use in a wipe, you have to option to wipe the disk as if it was never used before or write zeros to the entire disk. in a wipe data is virtually unrecoverable. in a format you can get back data.

please help me. i have had my computer for just over a year now and when i went to turn on my computer after school, its fans went to max rpm and only no input signal appeared. then after a few attempts to reboot, it was working again. but it's doing this every time i try to restart or turn on after shutting down.

i know its not a PSU problem because i replaced it with a 300W one that came with my pc. (took out the 8800 first of course)

also these problems started when my pc would not allow me to use a PCI-E card like my 8800 anymore it just started using onboard

here are my specs, (what i know)

Mobo: some sort of ASUS AM2
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 +5200 Dual-Core (2.7GHz each core)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 800GTS BFG OC
PSU: Codegen 530W
HDD: 2 IDE hard drives (80GB) (40GB)
RAM: 1.7GB 600MHz
OS: Windows XP Home edition x32
Fans: 2

I personally think this might be either a POST, CMOS or motherboard error but no error beeps are excreted by the internal speaker.

if you like, i will be on MSN most of the time and will be listening to any suggestions

thank you for the help, i shall try the RAM swapping. but theres a problem, i forgot to list i have 3 512MB sticks and a single 256MB stick.

and that i have had these …

the function of the CPU has no direct effect on the CPU fan. both are independent of each other. the will not work for the reasons stated by caperjack, but not due to the CPU

you can alway go for the refurbished drive, you have to make sure its the size that advertised, the correct file system and the drive integrity, which is going to be extemely difficult. you run a risk with hard drives, but an even greater one with refurbished ones. as for doing upgrade on a laptop, apart from memory and the ocassional hard drive, dont waste your cash on that, save and get a better one. you would be saving approximately $150.00 on a refurbished, but think about the consequences down the line when it start to give a world of problems. maybe one week after you acquire it. when if you buy a new one you have at least one year warranty on it and you can pout that extra $150 to snazz it up. but it all comes down to what you can afford and peace of mind.

the wireless is not going to show if it's disabled. even in a disconnected state you would see media disconnected. And encryption is when you use a passphrase to protect your wireless. You would have to enter a series of codes to to be able to connet to the network.

have you added a new wireless device (cordless phone) or microwave recently. when you do ipconfig are you getting an IP address starting with 169.xxx.xx. what type of encryption are you using on the router.

in your bios move the mydisk to the top of the boot order. and there should be no XP system files on Disk 0 as XP is installed on Disk 1 not unless youw ere crazy to change the windows patch during installation to be on disk 0. and lets us know if you can get a safe boot for Xp or a command prompt for windows 98 we can hlp you edit the boot file.

have you rebooted the comcast modem. and when you attched the ethernet cable do you get a link and activity/data light at the ethernet port on you pc, green on one side and orange on the other. when you remove the cable do you get a message that network cable unplug. how many ethernet ports do you have on the pc. are you configured for DHCP or static IP and what setting does comcast have you set to static or DHCP

do you have the drivers installed for the NIC, have you tried another cable, switch the end of the cable. are you using a router between the modem and Pc.

each person that is sharing their calendar with this one particular person MUST set that share on their PC first. Create a unique name for the calander (First name last name) then right clcik on the calendar choose the permission tab add the person name who you want to share with, and set they type of permission. make sure to check folder visible. then on the administration tab select the view and all user with access permission. then go to the persons pc and add the calendar by selecting the name from the address book.

Hi all,

Have a slight annoyance with outlook 2003 shared calenders.

Permissions are set for a particular user to view around 4 calenders and edit etc however when she goes to view the calender she can do so but it doesnt put the persons name onto the calender when viewing and it also doesnt keep the person she is viewing in the shared calenders on the left hand side with the tick option to view at any time.

I have tried re-creating the permissions from the other mailboxes, adding delegates, adding perms on the mailboxes in AD, re-installing outlook and applying sp2 & 3 updates. (a bit exteme I know but this is soooo annoying)

I hope this makes sense?? Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

Tom

i am not getting the gist of this, i know what you are talking about shared calender but i am not sure i understand the rest

seem like your PSu is giving up on you. do you have another you can try

while Vhex has a point, i believe you might have made things worst by doing the restore boot record while the drive was in another PC. what you should have done is use your windows cd to restore the MBR. If you are able to back up the data why not have windows format the drive.

2007 is a whole new system the interface is very different than 2003, if you really want to upgrade get a trial version and see if it some thing you would want to use. Download here and check here for demo of how it all works

You will not be able to get there IP address UNLESS they send you an email and can't you block that person on the web site or ignore them.

it's worst in GOVERNMENT Institutions. they will prosecute to the fullest extent of the LAW

plug the ethernet cable from the printer to the switch, it shold get an ip address. then on each computer you have to get the drivers for the printer add a new local printer.(remove check mark to check for Plug and Play) click next and choose the second option to create a port and use standard tcp/ip then follow the prompts and add the ip address that is given to the printer from the switch.

actually you don't have to sign a computer policy to be binded by one. and circumventing a company/School block policy on their network IS ILLEGAL
