I am unable to use the View / Remote Computer... option in msinfo32.exe to view information on remote computers with the Windows Firewall turned on.It looks like the firewall is blocking traffic on ports 137 and 138, among other things.What must I add to the firewall Exceptions list to fix this problem?
I use to update my Xp SP-2 regularly from MS website. Now a days it is insisting to install "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)" first to proceed for downloading update files.Is it a FORCE or I can bypass this tool. I do not want to install it, as somebody told me this is a tool by MS to takeout personal information on my OS (XP) and MS Office and other MS Software.I know I use genuine legal copy.But why should I allow MS to take more information ? Is not WPA through internet is not sufficient ? Can this tool take information on other products/3rd party software like NERO,MS OFFICE and ArcSOft ?
I while ago someone sent me a DAT file on this newsgroup that helped restore the msinfo32.exe file. I can't remember what the file was, though. Could anyone send it me again? Whatever happened to disable msinfo32.exe seems to have happened again, not sure what, but I think it's ZoneAlarm Pro cleaning out the locked DAT files.

Before I downloaded CleanUp 4.0 I didn't see any "Known Issues" listed at the Steven Gould site concerning this problem. While during a Google search concerning any issues Windows XP and msinfo32.exe
I am using eTRust EZ firewall and just recently started having problems with it and the effect on my pc. First, it wouldn't let me select allow or ask under the access internet or trusted column under the program control.

On an XP Pro SP2 box, until a couple weeks ago, when I brought up the cmd prompt by typing cmd in the run box, I always got XP''s cmd prompt aka dos emulator with a name bar and right clicking on it gave me tools to configure it's appearance and functions. I am not using cmd in full screen mode. I can see it by right clicking the minimized cmd on my task bar, using properties or I can use edit from that right click context, but I want the name bar back. When I go to the right click context>properties and click normal window it should restore this but it doesn't.

Where is the blocker tool used to keep Windows XP SP2 as far away as possible? According to the latest Windows Platform eMails, "Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 will be posted to Automatic Updates (AU) on July 26. To assist customers who want to block SP1 until their deployment plans are finalized, a blocker tool (similar to that offered for Windows XP SP2) is available."
