I work at an company of which I choose to remain anonymous. We have an intranet set-up, and I would like to get onto the internet, just to watch videos or check e-mail during the slow hours. It will display the intranet, the webpage for the company itself (the public webpage), the testing site for our recruitment testing, and thats it.It gives me a message as if you attempted to access google from home, but unplugged the ethernet cable. Today I accessed a site I run through angelfire through ftp.angelfire.com, and it displayed the contents of my server, but I can't see the photos or anything.
I have a small program, written in VB2005, with the standard splash screen provided from VB. When I have the program available through a share directory. I can't run it on another computer. Both computer running Windows XP. It comes up with this error: "Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by security policy. To grant this application the required permission, contact your system administrator, or use the Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration tool.If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
I use winchat.exe in the "C:WINDOWSsystem32" folder to talk with two other computers on my network. Against my better judgement I have installed SP2 on one machine as an experiment and am already sorry for doing it. First..the firewall is completely off. When you dial from the computer with SP2 installed the other 2 do not respond, they did before. When the other 2 computers dial the computer with SP2 installed it will not respond, it did before. If I cannot use this feature now because of this SP2 is there a way to uninstall this nightmare?
My old computer is a Dell Optiplex GX1 Pent3 with a fresh install of Windows 2000. My brother had been using it with Win 98 and a dialup connection and all was fine. Prior to that I had it on a DSL connection. Now I want to get it back online at home where I have a cable modem and my usual computer with a DLink router.I know the router and cable are ok because I just had another XP computer on it.Nothing I do will seem to connect the Windows 2000 Pro to the internet . I tried disabling the onboard LAN connection(a 3COM 3C918 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller and installing another LAN card but that didn't work either. I also connected it to the modem without the router.
I posted this here because I assume it has more to do with my actual computer setup than anything else, but I apologize if I am mistaken.I am currently running WinXP SP2.I have this problem in that quite often when running my bittorrent client (Azureus), I just lose connection with my router and I cannot regain connection uintil I reboot the router...even rebooting the comuter doesn't seem to do the trick. This happens with certain trackers more than others, but only with bittorrent, and not even at extreme upload or download speeds. I can be uploading at 20kb/s and downloading at even less and lose it, when at other times I can be uploading files to web host at 200kb/s without problems.
I have win2000 which i installed as upgrade over win98, now i want to get rid of it all and just do fresh install of 2000, could someone please give me step by step instructions to do full install and how to get to the msdos prompt. I havent done a fresh reinstall for years so pretty rusty on it all.
I was getting a warning-bar alert when I was testing my own IIS-webpages (using local HTML+ASP). During my testing, I "enabled Local Intranet" zone, and want to disable my choice. I tried InternetOptions>Security>"restore all zones to default level", but I am not getting the warning in the warning bar.
when a memory failure corrupted the OS. Compaq runs its setup from a special partition on the HD and Ive reloaded all of that from floppies. Setup says I have a 26.2GB HD but it is 60GB, otherwise all tests pass. In setup under storage the help file says I can select the boot sequence but I cant seem to find anyway to do this?? Id like to boot from the Win 2000 CD, I did make a boot floppy set from the 2000 CD but it dies on disk2 with a "isapnp.sys corrupt". Downloaded another makeboot.exe diskette set and get the same message. The original OS starts to load off the HD but stops with an error message and only allows a reboot. Can I move this HD to a slave on an XP system and load 2000 that way and then move back and configure the different hardware? Or just boot from the CD on my other PC and install
I have just re-installed Windows 2000 and I have a strong wireless signal to the usb adapter but cannot get connected to the internet. What is it about 2000 networking that is the trick to this? I have it set up to obtain an IP address automatically. By the way it is connecting to a wireless access point, not directly to the router. The access point is piggybacked off the main router.
We have an intranet site named as Employee Self Service (ESS). In my lap top I am unable to open the login page of the site. But I am accesing the same site in any other office desktops. Kindly help me out how to get rid of this problem.
I have 2 computers that i need to know what is the max hard drive size. One computer is running winME and the other is running Win2000. As for the win2000 i changed the registry for 48 bit LBA support in order to see my 320gb drive. The reason why I ask is because I'm planning to purchase a 750gb or 1tb external hard drive to backup my system. I don't want to purchase it to find that the system can only see 500gb or something like that. I'm gonna post this same post in the winMe area.
I have a partition with Linux and winXP so when I switch the pc on, I get the initial page of suse where I am asked if I want to start with linux or windows, if I don't change to windows in a few second, it will start directly from linux. I would like to erase this partition, is there an automatic way to do it? Or at least, if it's too difficult to erase it, I'd like to start directly with windows.once loggen in windows, I am asked whether I want to start with winXP or win2000, but I don't have win2000 installed , so I'd like to erase this option page and log directly with win XP
You helped me fix my work PC today and one of my coworkers asked me to post this for him regarding his home PC.He has Win2000 and lost all his desktop icons, start menu and task bar. He has to do a ctrl-alt-delete to do anything.All of the previous fixes here appear to be for XP machines.
Its making these icons appear that are either porn or these downloads to those trojan spyware things. There are two icons where the time is, a yellow yield sign and the red x and they just lead me to more of those sites, can someone help me get rid of them?
There are suddenly no options listed under the "Manage security settings for:" heading, just blank space, so I have no way to edit my Firewall, Antivirus or Windows Update settings from the Center. I opened services.msc and it shows the service started automatically.
I've forgotten but in a new install of XP-Pro,SP2 using NTFS on C: I don't have the Security Tab when I right click on a folder to setup sharing. I want this so I can set Permissions, etc. I have it on my other PC set up the same way but for some reason I don't on this new install.
What am I doing wrong? My username is a member of the Andministrators group.
I haven't been to this site for a while and I noticed I'm getting Security Warnings that my security settings has blocked of an ActiveX install. I know how to change those settings, but am reluctant to do so. Can anyone shed some light on this. I occasionally will get similar warnings on other sites, but it is consistant on this one. Once in a while IE6 will hang up on this and I'll have to got to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of it.
My Windows Secuirty Centre is still detecting an old AV program as up-to-date and active even though its no longer installed... same with the firewall is there any way of resetting the security centre or where in the registry can i find the entrys to modify?
many of the security holes found in software (especially Microsoft Windows) might have been deliberately put there as back doors into our computers for easy access by our governments. I guess my question is this.Will total, absolute, 100% security ever be possible or will our government always demand a back door in? It just seems that if any back door exists, it will eventually be discovered and exploited.
I do not show the Security Center Icon in the Control Panel. I can go to the Security Center by going to All Programs, Accessories, System Tool, route. How can I add Security Center to Control Panel?
the colors in my Security Center have changed. First I thought it was a problen with the windowblinds skin I was using but I don't think it is. Could it be the WB program itself? I didn't have this problem (fresh OS install) until after I installed a few things, WB, avast, zonealarm, and uninstalled antivis.
While building up a new computer I go into Security Center to make some configuration changes. The resource "Change the way Security Center alerts me" is available at this time. Some time later during the building process I go back into Security Center and find that resource is no longer available. It is greyed out.
I am getting this message: Windows has blocked this software because it cannot verify publisher. I have 2 computers set exactly the same. I can open page on one computer and not the other. I've gone into Tools, IE, etc. etc, unchecking anything to do with ActiveX, but nothing is working.I am trying to open a virtual tour of a hotel. I've disabled pop ups. I can't download ActiveX. Everytime the ActiveX bar comes up, the Windows blocked software message comes appears.
I had a old computer given to me, (and I mean old, fixed it up just to do email and do letters etc, doubt it would cope with anything else) anyway I got it going and managed to load the OS on to it, (XP Pro) checked and all drivers where present so XP Pro had all the drivers (shows how old the mother board is) anyway before installing service packs etc I went to turn some bells and whistles off and configure settings as I like them. (This computer has not yet been connected to the Internet, I have not even put an Ethernet cord into it yet, so not a virus) I go into the Control Panel and there is no security centre icon there, this is the first time I have come across this. I have searched the net but only articles or forum entries I have come across have been for if malware or other nasties had been removed and then noticed the icon missing, so this does not apply to me as its a fresh install, and this computer has not been connected yet.
Ideas running through my head is maybe updating drivers, or something to do with the bios, going to check the hard drive itself tomorrow, a bit hesitant to try things unless I know its going to help other than this everything seems to be opening and closing as per usual.It just amazes me with all the installs I have done (in the hundreds +) and this is the first time I have had this happenAny ideas will be much appreciated, oh and have not loaded anything else on yet, its just the basic OS, decided not to go any further with installing of anything else till I have sorted this
How Do I see the Security Tab in XP Home?This tip provided by Gilles Pion. Download the x86 (Intel) version of the Security Configuration Manager and save it to your hard disk.Double click the SCESP4I.EXE file you downloaded and extract the contents to a temporary location on your hard disk.Then open the folder you extracted the files to and locate the Setup.inf (Setup Information) file.Right click Setup.inf and select Install.After the installation is finished, reboot your computer.Adjusting the permissions on a drive, file or folder can lock even the Administrator account out of that drive/file/folder.Deny Permissions take precedence over Allow Permissions, regardless of your group membership
