I am looking for now is a program where I can log into their
computer without having them logged off, so they can actually see what
I am doing (and I don’t have to repeat it all over the phone).
Does anyone have a suggestion what prog I can use for that? (or a link
to a side would be also great)
Have been searching for the web for hours but I guess my English just
doesn’t provide me with the right keywords to get any results I can
use.
AOL Broadband Checkup always hangs when I'm signed on. Computer Checkup works fine & will sign on automatically if needed. Not a major problem, I just want to get it fixed.

I'm working on a Compaq desktop system and have run into something that has me stumped. The system is XP Home-SP2 with all patches, etc .It's my understanding that ActiveX controls such as Shockwave, Java, QuickTime, Ewido, etc show up in c:windowsdownloaded program files. (That's also where they appear on my HP laptop, and there's a status column that shows "installed") On the desktop system however, there are no activex controls in c:windowsdownloaded program files.....and no "status" column. Instead, there's a folder called "Conflict.1" and a bunch of *.dll and *.inf files. The desktop does have Shockwave, Ewido, Java, etc. installed though.
The system belongs to a friend and when I received the desktop, there was no AV or anti-malware software on it. It had a host of both; however, I have cleaned it.
An update cause my Sony Vaio laptop to show only the wallpaper at startup. It never finished booting, but I could launch Firefox from task mgr. Well, after several days of poking, prodding, regedits, and reinstalls I still could not complete the SP2 update. Did an XP repair & still could not get SP2 laid on. Last night I finally did a complete XP reinstall. I'm now in the process of d-ling drivers.
I named the new install - "New," my previous was "Me". I also have docs&settings for: Admin, All Users, All Users.Windows, Default User, Default User.Windows, Me.Vaio. All Users seems to have all of my installed progs listed in the Start Menu>Progs, yet my new install shows only the Windows bare basics.
1 - How do I get those imported to my "New" profile? Simply drag/drop the Program Files folder??
2 - Somehow the desktop folder for the previous install (Me) is gone. Of course the new install has the clean desktop. need to know the way to recover the old one & port it to the new install?
Dell desktop running Windows XP SP2 is reporting an application error on a regular basis. Especially when trying to install new programs. It seems event errors have the ntdll.dll in common.
Here's one event log entry:

Explorer seems like it likes to crash randomly. I've already ran chkdsk and no problems were found. Now, with my experience with chkdsk at my IT job, it doesn't always do the job. So I was wondering if there was a program that could.
-I am free of spyware to the best of my knowledge
-I run CCleaner daily to get rid of useless files.
I've read here that IIS cannot be installed on XP Home Edition, so OK to that. But is there some other (Free?) non-Windows utility that I can install on my XP operating system that will do the same thing for me?
Since I started using XP, I noticed that games performance was terrible. Idle CP load stayed at around 12% all the time. This lead to jerky graphics, choppy sound, every game I tried was the same, even DVD playback suffered. I tried the tweak http://www.tweakxp.com/tweakxp/display.asp?id=822but I didn't see any difference. If you also experience this problem and have a Zip drive, here's how I solved it.1.Right click "My Computer"2.Select "Manage"3.Click on "Device Manager"4.Double click on your Zip under "Disk Drives" ( it may be listed as "IMG VP01" or something similar - pick the one that's not a hard drive)5.Disable the deviceIf you then need to use the Zip drive, simply re-enable it by following similar steps.This worked fine for me, XP is now as fast as 98
Are there any more sophisticated packages out there that can connect to standard Remote Desktop enabled Windows machine?I need to connect to several remote computers on a regular basis, and would like something that would remember my login settings for each one of them. The standard Remote Desktop Connection client that come with Windows 2000 only seems to remember the settings for *one* connection. (Or are there perhaps some call arguments that I could put into the shortcut, in order to define certain login parameters?)
I have replaced my hard drive completely. One thing I really miss about my old setup was that I had Roxio disc copier, which really came in handy for my job. Since I no longer have the application CD that it came on, I am slightly SOL and have to spend a lot of time burning copies from media player.Does anyone know of a simple, free program that will allow me to copy a disc that is in the D: drive to a blank one in the E: drive?
