Microsoft Antispyware Not Working
Jul 15, 2005
Just upgraded to the new beta version of Microsoft Antispyware that was released in June 2005.It keeps downloading and installing the same definitions, and reports that the new definitions are installed. When I click on updates, it does the same over and over again. I don't believe the new definitions are actually being installed. Is anybody else having the same problem?I uninstalled and reinstalled the MS Antispyware software and
the same problem remains

while ago (a few weeks), for an unknown reason, some files on my computer got corrupted. including a fair amount of program files and personal stuff that isn't recoverable. guess i should've made backups. after watching this: http://www.Internet.com/watch?v=a-qzm4sezbi. i wanted to do the same! but now i've found out that microsoft sam apparently has been corrupted as well, because it doesn't work!the icon of sam looks like this: http://82.181.168.118/nothing/sam.jpg.and when i click it, nothing happens. is there any way of recovering microsoft sam without re-installing windows or anything?

I'm having problems getting my wizard to come up when I use my card reader or if I put in a cd. I use to get the options in a box to read files, play , or to transfer photos. Now I don't get that option. I think it may be a file missing in my regestry.

Since installing Windows XP SP2 (upgrade from SP1) I noticed that Standby does not function. When I manually go to Standby, or if my laptop tries to go into Standby as per the power management settings I have set, I get the following message: "Standby has been prevented by the Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard device driver. You may need to install an updated driver."
Any ideas on what I can try. I have tried uninstalling the keyboard in safe mode and rebooting to reinstall the keyboard drivers. I have also checked my BIOS settings, and tried resetting the power management settings. I have even updated my ATI video adapter drivers. I noticed the problem shortly after installing SP2. There are no updated drivers available from Gateway for the keyboard.

On my computer are installed (besides the XP firewall), MS AntiSpyware Beta 1, AVG7.0.308 and LavaSoft Adaware 6. Do I need all three, or would AntiSpyware do the job alone?

I hope somebody can help me, although I suspect the PC has breathed it's last. On starting up, it hangs and won't go any further. I get the system information screen, then it just stops and the light doesn't flicker at all. I don't get any beeps either which I suspect is not a good sign. Does anybody have any suggestions for what I might do next? The PC is running (or not as the case may be) Windows

I am running XP Pro and have two accounts on my computer. Last night when my wife signed in on her account (I was previously signed in) she noticed a PONG sound which repeated itself about every five seconds. She doesn't remember exactly when it started but she thinks it started after she signed in and before starting any applications. I couldn't locate a source so I turned off her computer hoping whatever was causing it would cease and desist.No such luck. The same thing happed again tonight. I signed on first with no problem, but shortly after she signed on to her account the ponging started again. This time I did a restart and signed on to her account first. Great! No pong sound! But as soon as I signed into my own account it started again. In fact it is happening right now as I write this. Can you hear it? I am running ProcessGuard and RegDefend, along with a slew of antispyware. Nothing has come up, and my computer seems to be running fine otherwise. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I have never heard of this before (pun intended).

I'm running a 3 year old version of XP pro and it has gotten progressively slower booting up. Seems like about two to three minutes or so ( I should time it). I've run msconfig and there doesn't seem to be anything too obvious and I don't want to screw with things I'm not sure of as well. Also, when launching Outlook Express ,any browser and Word are really slow also. Excel is fine. Seems really odd. I've run antivirus, antispyware, defrag all to no avail

i have windows XP home edition service pack 3. and i use Microsoft office 2003, and well recently it began to pop up and say microsoft office word has not been installed for current user. please run setup utility. Well i only have one user, never had another user created until recently (temporary fix) is there anything i can do, the main user is called the owner, it says its the computer admin, but i guess there is still an admin user, i cant get to that. the only way i can get ms office to work was to create a new user, open all the office programs, export the office registry, and import it to my main user, thats the only thing that works, for a little bit.

Quote :NEW YORK (Reuters) -- A U.S. federal jury found that Microsoft Corp. infringed audio patents held by Alcatel-Lucent and should pay $1.52 billion in damages, the No. 1 software maker said Thursday.
Microsoft said it plans to first ask the trial judge to knock down the ruling and will appeal if necessary. It said the verdict is unsupported by the law and that it had already licensed the technology in question from Germany's Fraunhofer.
Alcatel-Lucent had accused the world's biggest software maker of infringing patents related to standards used for playing MP3 digital music files.

Whenever I start up IE7 "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" pops up. The problem is my internet is working for SOME programs. Firefox is working fine, but IE7 is not. Also Steam, Ventrilo, and AIM work fine, but programs such as, UBI Internet, and Gas Powered Games Internet, and almost all games do not work. It says Winsock error problem, but I have fixed the registry keys and followed all instructions.

I have a Gateway CX2618, w/ windows XP tablet edition 2005 version 2002, sp2. And wanted to wipe it clean and reinstall just the things I use. Plus my Tablet side of things hasn't worked in a long time and I was hoping the clean install would fix that. But my recovery DVD isn't working (could be user error). I DO have apps that I need to keep and I think I've backed them up to my external HD correctly.

I de-infected a windows XP system with SP3 and IE7. Once I did that, http no longer loaded in IE. It does not work in portable firefox either. I can type in ftp:// ftp address and IE works. Likewise I
can use https:// and the page loads! What is going on: I tried:
1) Reset ie7 as per MS
2) Removed IE 7
2a) IE6 would not load http either
3) reapplied SP3
4) Repair install win winxp cd.
5) Deleted and re-installed network card
This is where I am now. Still no http://. Since multiple applications are affected, I do not think it is a browser helper.

I can remember back when there was MS DOS - NEC DOS - PC DOS - Phoenix DOS. The differences were hardware support and some had a few of thier unique commands and utilities included. Some where along the line Microsoft was able to reign in DOS and then there were two MS DOS and PC DOS.I tried to upgrade my new HP/COMPAQ from XP HOME to XP PRO. After about 6 hours of effort with Microsoft Suooprt and HP Support the answer is:Andre K (HP Tech): Toby, this Desktop was shipped with an OEM version of Windows XP home operating system. HP does not support operating system upgrades provided by Microsoft. You need to purchase the upgrade CDs from HP to resolve this issue.

My Dell desktop runs XP Pro. My Dell laptop also runs XP Pro. For some reason my laptop hard drive got corrupted and/or wiped virtually clean, and the computer will not boot. Unfortunately, I don't have a reinstallation disk for the laptop. I was thinking of using the desktop's reinstallation CD to load Windows onto the laptop. But then I remembered reading something about the activation process for XP, and am worried that if I then have 2 computers with XP loaded from the same disk, Microsoft will somehow pick up on this and deactivate one or both.Technically, I'll have 2 XP installations after having paid for 2 separate versions and licenses, but I don't know if Microsoft would buy this, especially since I don't have the receipt for the laptop (it's 6 yrs old).Is my concern justified, or just unnecessary worry? I'd hate to be sitting with 2 unusable computers?

know that it has been a long time since service pack 3 was available for download on the automatic updates for windows, and it is just now that I've decided to update my SP2 to SP3. I've been looking for reviews all around the net and I've found mixed reviews on SP3. And it's got me thinking if I should update or not.
So here are my questions . Is SP3 safer than SP2? Is it faster than SP1 or SP2? (Like increased OS speed) Are there no bugs on SP3? (Like software incompatibilities, etc.) Anything I should be aware of before I install SP3? I've read in some blogs and other forums that you should uninstall some things on your computer for you to update to SP3 successfully.I also read that some users got lots of errors when they updated to SP3, is this true? Is SP3 MUCH BETTER than SP2?

I orderd an SP2 upgrade CD from Microsoft as soon as they were available. I have not yet upgraded my Windows XP SP1 computer to SP2. The SP2 CD is a bit old. Do you think it would it be better to download the most recent SP2 upgrade from Microsoft web site instead of using the SP2 CD?

I have this problem where I was not able to send or receive using Microsoft Fax (for WinXP and 2000). I'm using a GPRS modem which I have got working for other fax softwares like Symantec and MightyFax. I was able to establish a connection but was not able to send or receive. I can hear the ringing sound from the remote fax machine I was dialing but no fax was received there. Error message is "An error occurred while sending/receiving fax". For Win2000, I was only able to send but even then, the fax was not clear.
