For some reason zonealarm gives me the following pop-up every time I boot up my computer : ZoneAlarm Security Alert/Server Program/ Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services is trying to act as a server. Identification: None Application: svchost.exe Source IP: 0.0.0.0:Port 135 I click : "remember this setting" [or I used to] and it does NOT remember - it comes up every time.I've tried rooting around in Zonealarm to figure out how to turn this off - no luck. Any ideas folks????

View 4 Replies View RelatedOkay first I'm going to have to give a little background on what this problem may have to do with. A couple months ago this computer I am using was was infected with a dialer that I could not get rid of for the life of me. I asked for help on this forum, and all help given, was useful but could not get rid of the dialer permenantly. Ever everytime I would wipe the dialer from my computer (and by "wipe" I mean, I would fix it in spybot, Hijackthis, then delete it fromt the windows/system32 folder, and delete it from all TEMP folder, all in safe mode.) the dialer would return 6 hours to 2 days later. $teve recommended the Idea of making a Dummy Prvdi.exe file. but this didn't work because it would just be overwritten with the real file. I then decided to just live with it, but I couldn't take it anymore. So I came up with the Idea of make the Dummy File Read-only so it cannot be overwritten, and it worked. right now I have dummy files of Prvdi.exe and Tibs3.exe in my windows/system32 folder, but ever since I created those files, this strange phenomenon would occur:
after booting up my computer, when I open up Mozilla firefox 1.0, I will get a Barrage of error messages, LITERALLY a barrage! I'm talking 2 or 3 alerts per second, and they won't stop coming. the only way I can stop the stream of alerts is to stop the explore.exe process in the windows task manager, then run explore.exe again.
I received the following message upon doing a simple Restart routine (never happened before today) Run Time error ' - 2147023841 (8007041f)' Automation error

I am running WindowsXP SP2 Home Edition with IE6. My processor is 2.4 GHZ, 256MB of RAM, and 40GB hard drive.
I have three XP computers (described in my profile). On one SP3 installed fine right away. On the newest one, after much trouble and with the help of others, I got everything to update and download:On my system with XP Home, I get the following error message when I go to the update site and SP downloads fine but fails to install and gives the same error message as follows: "The file c:windowssystem32smss.exe is open or in use by another application. Close all other applications and then click retry."No other applications are ever running when this occurs and I am baffled by it. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have custom built many computer systems over the years, but I feel like a new comer when trying to decide what board and chip set to use on a socket 939 system. I have used ASUS extensively and will use ASUS on this system. With all of the various chipsets and motherboards available from ASUS for the socket 939 I have reached to a point of total frustration. The more I research the duller my mind becomes and am asking for some help or suggestions.The computer will be used for research, a lot of it on the web, for graphics work and for preparation of presentations. I am not a gamer, am not interested in gaming, and do not have any games on my PC.
I know that the chipset will basically determine which motherboard to use. I am considering the VIA K8T800 PRO chipset, as the ATI and NVIDA chipsets seem to be more for gamers. Again my mind is awash from researching the various chipsets available for the socket 939 from the different chipset manufacturers, ATI, NVIDA, and VIA. I would like some input on which chipset would be best for general computing? Also, I was thinking about an AGP video card, but after research I feel like AGP is becoming a dinosaur. On the other hand it seems like the only advantage of PCI Express is for gamers especially in a dual configuration. Is there any real advantage of PCI Express over AGP for general computing? Would it be advantageous to go PCI Express over AGP?

View 5 Replies View Relatedfor a while when we first turn on our laptop it won't work, it is not responding. However, the windows task manager does not show anything not responding. My only way to fix this problem is to tell the computer to restart & I will then get a "not responding" message saying that "socket notification sink" is not responding. I tell it to end the program & restart & I sometimes have to go through this over & over & over again until the computer is responding. The biggest part of the problem is that I do not know what the heck "socket notification sink" is! And if I do a search for it nothing comes up & I don't see it in the programs in the control panel & I never see it on the "processes" tab of the windows task manager.Can anyone help? What is it, do I need it, how do I deal with this? I just need the frickin' computer to work when I turn it on, I don't have time for this some days!

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy friend boots her PC simply by switching on the power at the mains electric socket to which the PC's power cable is connected. She doesn't have to press a power button on the PC or do anything with keyboard or mouse. The PC boots into Windows. She shuts it down in the conventional way: Start>Shutdown. Normally she then switches the power off again at the mains electric socket. The OS on her PC is Windows XP Media Center. The PC was bought in a box from a discount retailer and hasn't been modified at all.
I'd like to configure my PC so that I just "switch it on" at the mains electric socket without having to press the power button on the PC. I assumed that it would be simple to configure the PC to do this so I asked advice on another reputable forum. Basically I've been told that it's not possible to do what I've done and seen done on my friend's PC. Clearly it is possible to boot a PC simply by switching on its power supply at the mains electric socket because my friend has done so on her PC for about three years now. I'd just like to know how it's done. Sadly my friend can offer no advice because as she says "Who cares? It's just a computer. I switch it on and off."
How do you find out what the socket and general information (not the processor speed or anything but just the socket and stuff like that?
