Could someone please tell me how I can turn off all forms of internet access for a user on my computer. I enabled a content filter to prevent access to all websites; however, the user can still access the web through programs such as Maya and Hudini (computer animation programs). I want to have internet access on all the user accounts with the exception of this one user account
Is there a way to just let the user access one or 2 program in Xp Pro. For instance, I only want my kids to access internet explorer and that's it. The rest of the Applications and those XP's goodies that are found in the Program are to be hidden. I only want IE to show in the Program or on the desktop. The rest are unaccessible and hidden.
I think that I have a virus which is stopping me from 1) Installing Norton Internet Security 2005 properly, and 2) Stopping me from accessing all anti-virus related sites, for example - www.symantec.com, ww.grisoft.com, www.pandasoftware.com, and when i tried to download AVG 6.0 from another site which was unrelated to antivirus, I found that I could access the site but the download failed.
Yesterday my firewall picked up on an attempted attack on the computer, and since then my internet access has been limited (usually to sixty seconds). My DSL provider's tech support couldn't figure it out, so I'm posting to see if any of you can help. The only thing out of the ordinary that has occurred since the attempt, is the repeated notice that both IAMAPP.exe and bcont module have experienced difficulty, and must shut down. I had never received either message before.
In all cases, it is taking very very long, if at all, for any of the accounts to come up. That is, the icon and account name stay on the screen and the window behind the account never appears.. If the window behind the account does appear, visuscan may or may not complete startup (after minutes). If it does, aim.exe does not. I also have Radio.netscape
I have Windows XP Professional loaded on several PCs having only two accounts 1) Administrator 2) Users.The Users account is only a member of the Guests group I had hoped that the restricted account would prevent users from changing the computer's appearance such as the desktop and Media Player skins, etc. Is this level of control possible?
If I've created a user account through the control panel, how do I make it so that others are unable to delete them? My 5 year old son has recently been deleting my user accounts and I need a way to prevent this from happening anymore.
I have XP Home Ed sp-2. I'm able to setup several limited accounts on this machine. My question is how to setup an account that the user can not be able to access to internet using IE 6. This user is able to logon the computer himself. I only understand that with Comcast High Speed Internet, since a user logon computer he can go straigth to internet.
I'm trying to use Group Policy to restrict the internet access for a certain user account. I have an OU set up with that user account in that OU. I want the user to only be able to access the websites that I approve.
I have an xp Home Edition Computer on a wireless network with 3 user accounts. I want to prevent one user (child) from accessing and using one web site. ( AIM.com). I thought of uninstalling AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), but that would not totally resolve the problem. The child can still reconnect to the web and re-download the program again. How can I configure the xp computer to prevent such access and usage of AIM without affecting the privilages from the other users (Adults) to use the same IM?
Login in on my computer whatever, I have 4 messages that pop up saying something about csrss.exe and something about .dll or something. I don't know much. I searched on google and it said it was a worm or trojan. I have AVG as a virus scanner, but does not pick up any viruses, and its no good. Whatever this is, it is preventing me from going on the internet. So I dont know what to do. How do I remove this, so I can go on the internet again?

Operating system: XP home.When creating a user account for my husband with limited access, I lost my user account as administrator. My guest account has also disappeared.

I am having a problem logging onto my Windows XP system. I am getting the error "A problem is preventing windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0X80070002". I have found from several sources that I needed to regsvr32 files in order to make it work.
my computer stalling/freezing for no reason. I have AVG and have used Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy and neither have found a problem. Sometimes all of a sudden I lose access to the internet, Im on a LAN but when I lose access the other computers on the LAN still can access the internet fine. If that problem doesnt occur, my computer just decides to stall and when I restart it sometime freezes on the Window XP screen.

After long periods of my internet connection being idle (2+ hours usually), all programs requiring internet access are unable to connect. By idle I mean I leave to run some errands with no programs other than Zone Alarm running. My DSL modem still has all lights flashing and active. There are a couple other scenarios where this occurs as well. Ex. I'm playing WoW for extended periods but not using the internet through any other program, then upon alt-tabbing no other applications are able to connect to the internet even though WoW is still connected and functioning. Rebooting the router/modem doesn't fix it, but rebooting the comp does.
a pc with windows xp pro suddenly started not to access the internet or the workgroup it normally worked on. ethernet card is present in hardware devices, network connection says it "is there", the IP numbers etc. are all as they were.I have even tried a rollback to the time it worked fine, but no net
computer in my possession crashed, and when i reset, my internet has gone wonky. I use MSN as my ISP, and before, i could access internet explorer, or firefox, or any program without ever actually having to sign in to MSN. after the crash, however, i now have to sign in to access internet explorer, firefox, and a couple programs. what angers me, however, is that i DONT have to sign in to access trillian. Limewire, also, will connect, but wont download anything without msn being logged in. How do i get back to how it was? And no, system restore did not work.

Using Windows XP Home, I deleted an old user folder (JAMES), and created a new one reassigning myself as the administrator. Upon deleting, I clicked on 'Keep Files', expecting a shortcut to be available on my new desktop. There is no shortcut. If I click on Explore, then the old User file (JAMES) I get the following error message: "C:Documents and SettingsJAMES is not accessible. Access is Denied." If I right click the folder, and click on 'Sharing and Security', it tells me to drag the folder to the .Shared Documents' folder, as I get an error message: "Cannot create or replace JAMES: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use." In addition, any changes I make to the Properties tab (un-click 'read only', click 'Share this folder') do not get saved after I click on 'Apply'. I cannot find any other Securities tab other than th 'Sharing' tab available on XP Home edition.
I used to use my XP professional installed PC in admin mode so far but after too much of spyware problem, created one user account without installation authority.The problem now is, I can't see many programs in start menu of user account, looks like I don't have access to those programs through user account. Sygate firewall icon in system tray has disappeared in admin account but shows up in user account Just now, I installed trillion and I can use it in admin mode but can't see it in user account.I tried to go through control panel --> add/remove programs and checked access tab there but couldn't do much useful.
Been working on a friends Gateway P4 'puter after he had a disaster with a virus. Formatted the drive and installed the OS then proceeded to install all his apps and utilities. Left him about a week ago to research what kind of drive for him to purchase to install as Primary slave intending to use it for Acronis backups and other stuff. He called me and said he could not get XP to boot. Well, today I went to his place and turned the system on. Got through the normal startup screen and then the log on screen came up telling me to click on the user name... THERE WAS NO USER NAME SHOWN. My experience with XP is limited but I did try F8 and went through attempts to recover with no joy. Finally decided to just reinstall the OS. Now I gotta go through all the tweaks to get it up and running. Is there a way to get around the user name access without the drastic step of reinstalling the OS? What the heck could have caused this?
i had win xp Home edition on my main hdd.. then i came up with the stupid idea to repair windows... after i had done that windows didn't start anymore..so i installed windows on another hdd and then i sat the hdd with broken windows as slave and started it up so that i could access all my files before formating the hdd... but i could only access the files from 3 out of 4 users, one of the users i could access where password-protected and so was mine.. but i couldn�t access the personal files from my old user
Unable to log in user name and password. Also from control panel when i click user accounts it goes to control user passwords 2 window not to the xp styled user accounts window where i can add pictures etc. I checked my local and group policies but couldn't find anything there because it always shows the error while entering the name and passwords.
