I wonder if someone could tell me this, is it possible for someone to track you down via WLM? I know it uses proxy servers for the communication and that if someone sends a file that it is possible to make a connection that way. However the new WLM has a picture sharing thing where the picture just pops up rather than it being copied to your computer...is it possible to obtain the other persons IP from any part of the new WLM?
On 85% of the time I turn the computer on I do not get connected to my ISP. I have Linksys cable modem and a Linksys router. My second computer on the router (an XP) has no problem login on to the system. What I have to do (VISTA machine) each time is do a ???Diagnose and repair???. It quickly wants to get a new IP address and after I continue in about 45 seconds everything is working fine. Doing some research I found what looks like the problem that I have. I have done regedit once before so felt I could at least take a look and see if the article was correct. The help article I found was. Article ID:928233? Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers?
I got to the end portion of step 2 Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParametersInterfaces{GUID} In this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.? Here is what I found and what I think is the problem. I never get to {GUID}. Instead of {GUID} I get two lines of what looks like garbage {3a539854-6a70-11db-887c-806e6fe6963}, and {BE55FD8E-E60F-48EB-ABE5-63232B0C1F72} How or where do I get the right values to replace the garbage (assuming that is my problem)?
MY friend has given me his sims 2 game for me to install and play on my computer. BUT I am 110% sure that his computer is loaded up with tons of nasty trojans, viruses and more. Could I get some of those viruses if I play the sims 2 on my computer? Or will I not because commercially pressed disks are only readable?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to obtain a comprehensive listing of servers and interpreters that are a normal part of the Windows Vista Operating System? These are the only kinds of programs I expect the Security updates to be fixing.
Servers = Programs included with the OS which accepts commands from the Internet or LAN external to My Computer. Interpreters = Programs which will execute any kind of source code whatsoever like HyperTextMarkUpLanguage HTML or Basic or C+ or Fortran or whatever.
I know of no other kinds of programs unless you can tell me now that may work ndependent of User Control. If I could ID these rouge programs running in the background it would be better than the security updates themselves.
