Activating Passive FTP Mode: Unable To Access FTP Folder?
Aug 12, 2002
If you have problems connectiong to FTP servers using Internet Explorer when your computer is behind a firewall, you need to enable passive mode so you can connect a different way. 1. In IE6 XP open the Tools tab -> go to Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> scroll down till you find "Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility)" -> TICK this setting -> hit ApplyThis should resolve all problems with accessing FTP servers.
I used to be able to access it perfectly fine but i went to safe mode and got the blue screen with the 0x0000007B error. My windows works fine but the safe mode.I know it was caused by a virus, i just don't know how to fix it.I scanned with everything but still could not find it
I need to create a batch file that will connect to an ftp nightly and download some files but the ftp.exe included with windows does not support passive mode Is there a free command line ftp program out there that supports passive mode and would let me accomplish this goal?
i have a problem with my network folder.It seems that I can't see my existing network connections in the folder! I first noticed this when i click on my dial-up connection the connection window won't come up.When i open the network connections folder in the control panel, an error message comes up with this message:The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the lsit of Network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running.
First off, this is a legit copy of XP Home, and I've used it and successfully activated it in the past. The problem is that when I click on Activate Windows, this is what appears. I've tried waiting awhile, but this is all the farther it gets. Nothing is sucking resources while it's sitting there, and everything seems to be working just fine otherwise. I really have no idea what to do other than reformat and reinstall everything again.
Over the weekend my system has picked something up. When I try clicking internet links, items in drop down menus, etc, I have to click maybe two to three times to get the system to act on the command. I have run every virus program I have, deleted my temp files, deleted my temp internet files and ran a defrag. The problem is still on going today.
I brought her computer home to use for my school work. Someone signed into the Administrative / Owner name and somehow locked it. We don't have one of those password reset disk that the Windows website says. I have a disk that says "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition System Recovery CD/DVD" I was told if I reinstalled Windows on the computer that it would erase the entire harddrive. There are alot of pictures on the computer, not to mention Microsoft Office, that I don't want to lose. My mom passed away suddenly and while I know her other passwords, this one is different which leads me to believe one of my younger cousins was messing with her computer and did something they didn't mean.Is there anyway possible to reset the password and use the computer without losing all the pictures on it?
Files on my second hard drive were shared on the network (level 4, Network users could only read) and primary hard drive was reformatted and Windows XP sp2 was installed.(without the files being unshared) Now when trying to access the files the error "Access Denied" occurs and I cant access or delete the files (would really like to recover the data about four years worth of work taking up about 75% of the hard drive)
I am the Admin, and I can't change any of the folders propertys as I again get the "access denied" error. I've been looking everywhere for a solution to this, this is what I found from MS help (not very helpfull) A file's permission may differ from the containing folder if one of the following conditions is true:
I ran a windows recovery on my HardDrive yesterday - I selected NOT to delete any of my files.Now Ive set windows all up again, and I cannot access my documents. Firstly when i right click on the my documents folder it says 'empty', but when i try to double click it it gives me a 'cant access' error.My hard disk is showing on 1.8 Gb remaining, so my documents are still there somewhere, i just dont know how to access them?
OS is Windows XP. The computer is 6 years old & have never had problems. Recently I'm unable to access internet Explorer. The white page appears and the "connecting" message...and there it stays. Also, I'm unable to download .net versions 2.0 through 3.5, which appears to prevent me from downloading other programs. One tech tried to assist me remotely & ultimately suggested
PC is Extreemly slow to logon taking over 15min to display the background and icons. Launching even the Task Manager then takes 3-5mins and even longer to update. Action Taken to-date: all executed in *SAFE MODE*
Un-installed numerous suspicious apps (eg 3 copies of Kazaa), re-created the hosts files which was blocking access to all AV sites. Using CWShredder, Ad-Aware, SpybotE, Ewido Antimalware and AVG's "vcleaner.exe" I have removed all "extras" from the Start-Up menu, removed 6 viruses and isolated at least 2 "auto-dialers" as well as eliminating a number of wacky non-windows services.I have run SpyOnThis and HijackThis to produce some logs but this is off-course in SAFE-MODE
I have some nasty virus. My computer rebooted after a serious error and after I could not start IE nor could I run virus scan I tried several system restore points but each time the computer was not able to restore. I tried to open in safe mode but after using F8 on reboot my arrow keys would not work to select safe mode and the boot continued with normal startup. I went into cmd and selected safe mode startup but once again my arrow keys wouldn't work to select safe mode anything other than normal which is a highlighted on page. Since I selected safe startup in cmd and I cannot choose safe startup on the boot page my computer is in a loop of constantly trying to bootup
I have a lab of computers all running Windows XP Pro sp2, hooked up to a domain.Is there a way to restrict safe mode access to only administrators (or only local accounts? I don't want any of the limited user domain accounts to be able to log onto safe mode, as it allows them to circumvent certain restrictions that I need to have in place. Is this possible at all, and if not, is there some sort of work around I could use?
Yesterday, my computer crashed, and it's left me unable to boot Windows XP (SP2), either normally or in Safe Mode. The root of the problem, I've gathered, is SPTD.sys, which is for some reason choosing now to present me with boot difficulties. The problem I have is, since I cannot access Windows XP in any mode, how can I tell BIOS to simply not load this file? From what I gather, it's used for Daemon Tools, which I no longer use, so it wouldn't adversely affect anything, correct?
Computer running Windows XP SP3 which appears to be horrible bogged down with viruses. So much so that when I simply tried reinstalling avg the next time I rebooted the computer I found myself unable to do anything other than log in. From that point the system freezes
I've been trying to get into safe mode since then, holding down f5 or f8 at startup brings me to the boot selection screen but if I select anything other than Start Windows Normally it will just restart and bring me back to the same screen. I've also been unable to get into msconfig from windows
I cannot on starting/restarting Compaq Presario, XP SP2 access either the Bios nor Safe Mode using any of the function keys when CPU is starting up. I have to go to BOOT.INIT to select the Safe Mode and then restart
I am trying to uncheck one item in config in an attempt to avoid a conflict with Roxio Media Centre 9. I can uncheck the apprpriate box but when I click apply I get the message 'access denied - you may need to log on as administrator to make changes'. The snag is, I am logged on as administrator. I have tried to boot in safe mode but can not Despite trying f8, f12, :sfc / scannow
Updated my computer using automatic updates. I unfortunately didn't pay attention to the updates that were being installed. After a restart, I got the following error:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen sppears again, follow these steps: Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a drive is identified in the stop message, disable the driver of check the manufacturer for driver updates. Check with our hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable any memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select advanced startup options, and then slect safe mode.
After running virus scans in Safe mode I attempted to restart into Normal mode but the computer just hung at the boot screen indefinately. I finally forced it off. When I switched it back on it gave me the usual black screen saying "Windows did not shut down successfully" and instructed me to use the arrow keys to choose how to start windows, otherwise it would load the "last known successful configuration"
However at this screen only the arrow keys do not react, making it impossible for me to select Safe mode, and although Safe mode was actually the last successful configuration, it proceeds to attempt to load Normal mode and stops at the login screen every time
I had a problem with windows xp rebooting after everytime during the loading screen. I tried doing chkdsk /k with no use and then I tried to repair the installation. Now i can't finish the setup and can't access safe mode because it says. Windows XP setup can't run in safe mode.
I'm using Windows XP Professional. I am not able to log back into my Administrator account. I'm stuck in a limited user account and though my Administrator account is set w/o a password, I still can't login, even through my computer's Safe Mode (which is was the Dell service person suggested
This problem occurred yesterday while I was trying to eliminate the login screen from my computer's startup. Initially, I used a tip from Annoyances.org by entering "control userpasswords2" in the Run menu and turning off the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option
I was having problems with my XP 2005 Media Edition desktop freezing while watching TV so I uninstalled the ATI Radeon Connect3D 9600 256mb video card. It restarted no problem. I lowered the resolution to 800x600, no problem. I turned on the media center and let it sit for a bit. It froze. Now on start up I get the following: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM
I am not really a computer whizzkid but am not afraid to give most things a go ever since powering down for a holiday my xp start up is in a loop. Clicking f8 and trying to access safe mode doesn't work either. Have tried "last known settings" but still no luck although it does get me a bit further but then I get the message ODBC32.dll was not found in the winlogon.exe box. Then MPR.dll was not found message appears. Is there anyway I can access the c prompt and do anything or should I have a restore disc somewhere that I haven't found supplied when I purchased the PC
I have a IBM Thinkpad that was setup for use on a domain. I know I have a trojan that has affected my ability to start my computer normally. After I enter in my username and password I let it sit for over eight hours today but I never came to the desktop. I could move the cursor but I never was able to access the desktop
When I tried to access safe mode I don't know any of the local user names or passwords. I also don't know the admin password. What options do I have to access safe mode somehow clear this trojan? I was told I had a trojan before I restarted my computer
Have been trying to fix my dad's computer which has been having a series of Blue screen problems realated to BAD_POOL_CALLER. Followed advice on Microsoft site and invoked Driver Verifier Manager and used Standard settings.
system won't reboot at all. I can get into BIOS area but once it continues past that the wireless keyboard is disabled and therefore I can't select Safe Mode or Last working config mode. It continues into Windows XP and then crashes and reboots again.Ideally I need to be able to make the wireless keyboard work so I can get into Safe Mode,uninvoke the Driver Verifier somehow at the BIOS stage

I was trying to run the Trojan Vundo B removel tool off the Symatech web site, it told me to put my computer into safe mode. When I restarted my computer it went to my log on user menu, I hit the administrator one, then my screen went to black, all black except it says safe mode in the four corners and it says:
Microsoft (R) Windows XP (R) (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519: Service Pack 9) It may not be a 9 on the last part. I can't really read it because it is overlapping the S in Safe Mode that is in the corner.I can access the task manager but not sure how to bring up the desk top
