 | Even though it's from April I think [url="http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5183385.html"]this [/url]article sums up where MS focus is at the moment. I've been supporting Windows XP ever since it came out and as much as [b]another[/b] update is somewhat annoying it's one that needs to be done. I think it will substantially improve …  |

| | Re: sharing scanner? Apparently some scanners support this...you might want to download a manual for your particular model if you don't already have one and see if it supports this. Another option would be to load something like [url="http://realvnc.com/"]VNC[/url] on the machine that has the scanner attached and then access that machine remotely.  |
 | I can't think of any program to do that either. If you could come up with a list of sites that you [b]don't[/b] want the user to visit then you could put it in the restricted sites or modify the user's host file to ensure there's no resolution on the … |
| | You could start by removing any free software you might have installed. What are you using to check for spyware? This problem is probably related to spyware; there is a section here on Daniweb called "Security" where you may be able to find more help on this. |
| | A program like Partition Magic will do this for you...the XP setup, as you said, only blows away/creates partitions...it will not resize an existing partition.  |
| | Hi, I would first verify if you have IP connectivity. You can do this from the command prompt on most flavors of windows. [b]Ping[/b] will end up being most helpful for diagnosing the problems you are having. Also, you didn't mention if you were rebooting the cable modem when you …  |
| | I've had good luck logging in from Japan when that happens...sometimes it seems like the Passport auth mechanism gets jammed and if you hit some different servers you can auth again. [url="http://hotmail.co.jp"]http://hotmail.co.jp[/url] ...oh yeah, it should recognize your language settings automatically and switch to English. |
| | Hopefully not a repeat thread...anybody have any experience with these? Looks kinda cool... [img]http://www.netgear.com/images/products/large/cg814m.jpg[/img] [url="http://www.netgear.com/products/details/CG814M.asp?view"]http://www.netgear.com/products/details/CG814M.asp?view[/url]= |
| | Sounds like spyware man...if you're using AdAware make sure you're updating the signature file before you scan, I've noticed a lot of signature updates lately which tells me there's a lot of new stuff out there as well as more to come. The browser hijacks are so damn sneaky these … |
 | There's definitely ways to do this but I wouldn't consider them easy nor would I attempt explaining it here. I would try doing a similar technique to what you did with 98. Install XP on the hard drive using the machine with the working CD. I think you could just … |
| | Go to Windows Update: [url="http://www.windowsupdate.com"]http://www.windowsupdate.com[/url] and install the Critical patches. You also might want to invest in some antivirus software.

| | OR - save yourself the hassle and get yourself a cheapo router to do it all for you and that you can simply unplug when it gives problems. |
 | Sounds like new.net to me...when AdAware removes one of it's components it blows up the network connection...these are a pain if that's what it is since you will not have network connectivity to get out to the internet to fix it. When you remove things with AdAware it should make … |

I highly recommend checking out a program like [url="http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml"]this one[/url] from Sysinternals called Process Explorer. The reason I recommend this is that the process that's chewing … |
| | Sounds to me like the "Ghosting" method you're talking about might be causing this. If you can get into safe mode but get no display when booting "normally" you could try installing the video drivers for the "old" machine in safe mode...if the image that you took from the "broken" … |
| | Can you re-ghost the SeaGate from the soon-to-fail DeskStar and see if it works after that? Have you updated the BIOS on this system?

 | Two things I'd look at: 1. Firewall...if you have one it might not be playing right with some new networking function that has been implemented in SP2 and the end result is that you see the apps blowing up wininet.dll since the firewall is having issues with wininet attempting to … |
| | Try [b]Start-->Run-->net start spooler [/b]then click [b]OK[/b] Sometimes you get that error when the print spooler isn't started.
