I have been trying to download America's Army (2.5GB) via http for a while now with no success. What happens is that the download just stops at the 2GB mark for no apparent reason. I tried using Firefox 2.0.0.3, IE6 and IE7 (which I downloaded against my better judgment) all with the same faliure. The first time, I tried to download it from gamearena.com.au (hosted by Bigpond) and all subsequent times, as unmetered content from my ISP (Inter node).I first googled the problem and came up with lots of questions but no answers. Then I emailed my ISP who are usualy outstanding for customer support (they haven't outsourced their call centers and don't plan to) but they too couldn't find a specific answer. They were however able to suggest that it was a Windows thing as there was nothing about my connection or firefox that would limit download size to 2GB.So the question stands; How do I get Windows XP Media center 2005 to allow over size http downloads?
I have a standalone Dell Pentium 4 computer with XP Home SP2. I just recently set up with a password protected account and also a limited account. I want to limit internet access on limited account.
whats the max number limit of user accounts that can be created in XP Pro.cant seem to find any info on it.there must be a limit. (I am refering to both the logon screen, which i think is 5, and actual number of user accounts in the system like is seen in the "local users and groups" section)The reason for me asking is b/c my friends mom needs to share out a file at her work and they dont have a server. (guessing maybe 7-13 people) All of which are going to be needing very different access rights to this folder.Id like to just create a user account for each person and adjust the folder share rights by each user. And this way each person could have thier own username and PW for making the connection as if they were connecting to a file share on a 2000 server.
i recently made a home network on my pc using XP. All went fine.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. I had Internet Explorer 7, and for about a month I would get a "Error: Operation Aborted" every now and then and I would have to open a new window, so Friday morning I downloaded Internet Explorer 8 Beta to see if it would remove the problem. It didn't, so I tried Firefox, but I found both IE 8 and Firefox to be annoying, so I decided to remove them both and go back to IE 7, but this caused a whole different problem. I think that I might have done something wrong while removing the programs because now IE doesn't work at all. Now whenever I click on IE, the IE screen will flash for about a second and then disappear.
I've become unable to download and save files to my machines (Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 SBS SP1). The download goes ahead, but at the point of writing the file to my local hard disk, I get the following error message, then the file is deleted!!!"Windows Security Warning Windows found that this file is potentially harmful.To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file."I wouldn't mind, but I haven't changed anything that would have enforced this, can't find any way of disabling / configuring this functionality and I trust the file and its source (a good example is the Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus software downloads!)
I have a family PC running XP Home with six user accounts. All are administrator accounts and I prefer to keep them that way. The PC is firewalled and has AV and anti-spyware SW and I try to educate my family in safe computing practices. My problem is that the 8, 11, and 15 y-o boys keep screwing up each others accounts (on purpose) by changing each other's passwords, or changing them to limited accounts. My 11 y-o for example, thinks his 8 y-o brother should not be allowed to install "Sponge Bob Whatever"; so he changes his account to limited. (Somehow he thinks it is ok though to install Limewire or Bearshare even after I tell him not to).Is there a way in XP Home to give users "Power User" privileges which will allow them to do most everything administrators can do, but not be able to access other user accounts?
I can not launch 90% of my apps, word, excel, adaware, when I click on the program it launches, and I get the .exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Then it shuts down that program. I can not add any new favorites to my internet explorer, does the same thing. I can not download a file and save it, I can download a file and run it though, not always successfully. Pretty much the pc is becoming crippled I have run registryfix7 (had it installed) fixed what was listed, but no helpI have done a full virus scan and spyware scan with Windows LiveOneCare, nothing shows up.
When i click a download link, i get the prompt:Save File, Cancel. i click save, and immediately the download will be cancelled, as i have checked in the 'download' tab (Firefox3.5)i can click retry and it will actually download it though, (to my desktop) and as it is downloading i can see the filesize increasing, but as soon as it is done downloading, the filesize becomes 0 bytes.also, when i right click the file, to the bottom of the properties tab, there is an "Unblock" option"Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer. Unblock" When i try to open the file..."C:Documents and SettingsOwnerDesktopccsetup223.exe is not a valid Win32 application"..which makes sense, the filesize of it is 0 bytes.
Normally download some videos from the internet onto my computer when given the options between open or save the file, i choose open the dialog box then shows that it is downloading to the temp folder, however after the video is finished playing , i can't seem to locate it on my computer.where do these files go? and how can i search for them?
My computer didn't come with an XP CD, just the manufacturer's restore CD which will wipe out all I've done in the last four years. So, if I backup (copy) all the files on my C drive, except the Windows folder (assuming that's where all the OS files are), to an external drive, then run the restore CD which will revert the computer back to the way it was when I bought it. Then download and install SP2 and copy the original files back to C.
Windows XP allows you to customise the appearance of Windows XP and has I think 4 different appearances you can choose from in the display properties under windows XP style with Windows XP plus installed. Is there any website that lets you download files to change the appearance of Windows XP without installing an extra program such as Window Blinds? I ask because I'm not artistic enough to create my own.

I have downloaded SP2 and some additional updates, I am not able to download files/updates from www.apple.com.

Bought Win/XP on ebay, OEM version 2002, has COA. While long formatting process is going on I want to ask: Will SP2 download automatically once I have disc installed on my new HD and connect to internet? ebay seller said SP2 was included but package says nothing of the kind. Version 2002 on the manual tells me it was pre SP2. Somehow I took seller's statement to mean it was on the disc.
My computer will not download the new AVG 8.0. It slows right down and the program is corrupt. I am trying to do an on-line scan with Trend Micro HouseCall 6.5, and it is saying the my interent connection is SLOW.I need the new AVG 8.0 by May 31, the old one runns out.
I am behind the times, but have decided to install SP2.I had to flash my bios, thus my reason for putting it off.Puzzled as to where I go for the download.I have gone to Microsoft site where it gives the option to download, but all it does is scan my system for updates, no option to download. How can I get SP2?
