May 2, 2008I use to update my Xp SP-2 regularly from MS website.

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 ?

Aug 31, 2008I am fairly comfortable with my XP home set up. Iwas looking at a Dell desktop that offers XP Pro loaded and a CD of Vista Business free. Would I be able to use Pro as I do Home and ignore the bells and whistles advantages? I may want to install Vista eventually and this seemed like a cheap way to test! I have seen some reviews of Pro and it does not seem too different.

Home User - Lost My Password
Dec 23, 2006I have two computers & so I don't frequently use the one I am having the problem with. It is a Dell Inspiron 1000 Laptop Running Windows XP Home/newbie so pls be patient..Anyway, the Dell got infected with the NSIS Media Trojan & I tried everything to remove it including but not limited to Webroot spy sweeper. It would quarantine it but apparently this thing regenerates in the registry. Therefore, I decided I needed to really secure my system & so since I am the only user, I deleted the non-admin logon account & set up the admin account with a password. I wrote it down but have lost the paper which I had written the password on. The hint is not helping me remember it exactly so I'm locked out.

Jan 23, 2010Whenever I try to get into the User Accounts section of my Windows XP, I get the following error:"Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus"I have absolutely no idea what it means, or how to go about fixing it. The account is Administrator, and I have used WindowBlinds with it in the past. I don't even know if WindowBlinds has anything to do with the problem, but it didn't start until around the point that I was using it. But it is uninstalled now, and I still get the error.There is another account on the computer, it is my sisters, and it can access the User Accounts section just fine... but it is not an Administrator account so it isn't much help for me.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHome SP3 - Admin User Account Profile Wiped Out
Dec 28, 2009I logged into my admin user account today and suddenly the admin profile has been wiped out. I'm guessing that XP uses a similar method as is done on unix in terms of user profiles, ie a flat file to hold user preferences and what not.In any case I had all these settings for the admin account for things such as mouse, outlook express, startup programs etc. Now when I log into the account it's like I just created it for the first time. Outlook express is no longer set up which is really annoying because I'm worried now that I might lose all my emails and address book if I set it up again ( you know with the pop server settings and stuff)Any thoughts on this? How can I get my admin "profile" back. Where the hell did it go. I'm assuming it's a file somewhere and for some reason the user account program can no longer find it and assumes a new account has been created.
