I am having problem downloading MSNews groups. I am running XP sp2,Outlook express 6 with AOL as my ISP.When I try to download from the news reader I get 2 error messages 1. You are not allowed to view or 2. was unexpectedly terminated by the server. Everytthing was working ok untill I downloaded Internet 7 and I have now reverted to Internet Explorer butI cannot get any now.
How does one read the whole names of the news groups when wanting to subscribe? How does one set it up so that after reading a post and closing, the post does not show up on the next visit to the group? How does one go back to look at old posts?
I am using Outlook Express 6 in XP Home and the newsreader still makes mistakes assigning the newsgroup reply to the wrong news server.My understanding is that this bug was solved by an update.
I have downlaod a new program (PPstream) but unable to read the instruction. I tried several language setting but without any success. Actually, I can read some sentences but the rest is unreadable.
I am building a multiuser system using Roaming Profiles. I would like to customize the "Start > All Programs" menu to the user's user group. For example I would like to have Program Group that contains basic programs that every user would use. Then have Programmers group that contains Basic applications + programming applications. Ideally the Program Groups should be assigned based on the user's group.A user can belong to multiple groups.
I really like the Luna interface, and how well-organized the Start Menu and the Explorer are. Like Groups -- how when you open My Computer it's got "Files Stored on This Computer," "Hard Disk Drives," and "Devices with Removable Storage." I've found out how to create groups and organize them based on name, file type, date last accessed, and so on.
But what I really want to do is create custom groups, with their own names, and drag-and-drop files and folders into them. Like when I open My Documents, and all of my document folders are mixed in with My Music and such. I want to create a custom group and put My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos in it, and then have all my other folders in a second group. How do I do that?
I have 2 unidentified entries located in my System Configuration Utility Startup...Unidentified ... meaning the Startup Item name and the Command names are both blank...The Locations are:HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun & HKCUSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun Any one have any idea what they might be for & should it be safe to disable them?
Windows XP Home is another story. As a consumer product, it suffers from two policy deficiencies. First, consumer products do not qualify for Extended Support, but instead move directly into the online support phase after Mainstream Support ends. Second, whereas business products are guaranteed Mainstream Support for two years beyond the release of the next subsequent version of a product (in this case, Windows Vista), consumer products do not get this built-in transitional period. The end result is that Windows XP Home will leave Mainstream Support and enter online support on January 1, 2007�in less than a year. When that day comes, XP Home users may feel left out in the cold, because they will no longer qualify for security updates, and will not be able to purchase support from Microsoft. Finding this situation somewhat alarming, I contacted Microsoft's representation to clarify the matter. A Microsoft spokesman relayed the following to me. Originally Posted by Microsoft spokesman "For consumer products, security updates will be available through the end of the mainstream phase. For Windows XP Home Edition, there will be no security updates after 12/31/06." Regarding paid support for problems unrelated to security patches, I was told that "Users who want to continue to receive support after the Microsoft assisted and paid support offerings have ended may visit the Retired Product Support Options Web site." I urge Microsoft to reconsider this stance. There should be considerably more overlap in support for their consumer OS. While five years of support for XP Home may have seemed reasonable when it was expected that there would be little more than three years between major OS updates, the time it has taken to bake Windows Vista has thrown this out entirely. If Vista launches in October, it would give users a mere two months to move to the OS, or risk being unsupported. Yikes makes me glad that I only use for my family and me XP Pro (and actually I don't really like Microsoft due to the fact that they have a monopoly and are quite greedy so the vast majority of my computing tasks are done on a mac running MacOS X 10.4.6) which should receive a much longer period of support due to it being used for businesses (however it still has great gaming support)
Is there a way to trace the route that a posting to newsgroups takes from my computer to a destination news server? I am having a problem with one particular moderated newsgroup where my postings are not reaching the moderators and are simply disappearing.
A thread here,I was trying to use the news reader part of outlook express and it could read all of the post correctly. The only problem is when I click on New Post or Reply Post, I could see the frame of text editor opened up with no button on it and then tells me that Outlook Express has encountered an error and needs to close, blah blah blah.
I looked through the error reporting file and was told that ntdll.dll was the troublemaker, here is the error reporting file that Outlook Express asked me to send to Microsoft:
It has happened every time without failure, and even after I have re-installed the entire Windows XP system, the problem would come up again. I am using an IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M 1.6GHz processor and 1.2GB of RAM, I have the automatic update enabled to install all the software patches from Microsoft and so on.
This ones has me baffled. I keep getting an active X promt stating that the page won't display properly. This Only happens on the Yahoo News page and NO where else. been going on for about a week now. My security settings are where they need to be.
I have four computers, three on windows XP and one on Linux. All are connected to the internet via a D Link DI-704. I had to reformat and reload one of my computers yesterday with windows XP and then proceeded to set up the networking. I will call the windows computers A, B and C. I reformatted A. Having run the networking wizard I can now from A read C but not B. B will not let A or C in. I need permission from the administrater. There is no administrater on any computer. C can read A but not B. B can read A and C. Does anybody know what is going on?
I have a file server that is not set to active directory, so I am trying to simplify the sharing of drive space. I am testing that I can or cannot get into certain groups. When I access from another Windows client and I get into my own file and then go out to try and get into another persons folder, I am auto directed to mine. I have to logg off each time to check each persons user folders and log in as them.
Since installing Windows XP SP2, I am not able to install the MSN groups photo uploader to post pics on my site. I have tried disabling anything that could be preventing this: firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and also tried adjusting security settings...I get the message "installation failed", and a tiny security shield appears for about 3 seconds next my pointer.
Computer is all of a sudden very slow. When I did a computer check for information regarding software, I found that many strange software files run automatically at startup. When I checked "msconfig", I only found 24 programs starting at startup which were normal. How do I eliminate these strange files. I don't know which one of these are necessary and I don't know how to eliminate them. They appear as "unknown". One example of a startup file is "zipfldr". There are pages of other ones.
I had a trojan downloader I appear to be all clean now, but I've noticed a weird change that might be from the clean up, not sure. In MY COMPUTER, the icons used to be organized under certain subheadings like "Files Stored on this Computer," "Hard Disk Drives," and "Devices with Removeable Storage" etc.These headings are gone. When I go to Arrange Icons and click the Show Groups option, I do not see a return of my lost headings. Instead, my control panel, and each of my drives is shown in a separate category that has a random letter assigned as its topic heading. How do I change this? How do I restore the original headings, and what could possibly have happened to remove them in the first place
I am running win xp the computer is connected to a network but not a server all logons are made to a local computer there are two admins on the computer me and my dad. He insists on having admin rights but with admin rights he can reset my password without knowing it even though we are apart of the same group so when I go away he removes my password and goes through my files and stuff. Can I make separate groups or something to stop him being able to remove my password.
Can anyone point me to a good website or well-written book that will teach me about Installing Windows and configuring Windows Workgroups, Adding a computer to the system, Networking in this context in general.
How do you edit user groups? I want to disable the ability to install (any) programs for all users except the one admin account. This is what I have so far: going through control_panel>user_accounts> and switching the account to a limited doesn't work (some progs can still be installed).Going into computer Management gives me the ability to look at the groups and move user names from one group to another, but I can't edit/modify what each group is allowed to do. Right clicking on group and selecting properties gives me this.Going into Group_Policy allows me to edit what users can do, but it applies the changes to every user (including the admin).
I am trying to open the Local Users & Groups on my Computer Mangement option. There is a red cross on it, and when I double click it I get the error message 'Unable to access the Computer. Unspecified error.'My computer runs Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3 and I am the Administrator of this computer.
When starting programs IE 6.0, 'help and support' and trying to use 'user groups' and 'system restore' the applications all encounter a problem. All of the error reports refer to "ModName: mshtnl.dll". This problem first began after using system restore to go back to earlier settings. After going back to earlier setting all was okay until windows installed automatic updates and automatically reset the computer and thats when mshtml.dll errors began.ERROR: "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"[I]AppName: iexplore.exe, AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180, ModName: mshtmled.dll, ModVer:6.0.2900.3059, Offset: 00061e69
I am getting the following msg, it only happens in Yahoo groups: "A script in the movie is causing Macro Media Flash Player 7 to run slowly. If it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" I pick "Yes", my system does indeed become "unresponsive" for about 5-10 seconds, then goes back to normal. Then about a minute later the same thing happens again. This only happens in Yahoo groups!
i right click on taskbar toolbar language bar. I uncheck it and disappers on the taskbar. And the trillion dollar software puts it back in few minutes.
My company makes products that deploy on XP, like Kiosks. I need to be able to lock down my "application user" rights nice & tight, but leave my admin rights wide open. I find that GPEDIT effects ALL user rights, so when I want to prevent my app user from being able to right-click on the desktop (for example), if I got to GPEDIT > USER CONFIG > ADMIN TEMPLATES , anything I do there dorks up my admin user as well.These machines will not connect to a domain controller so they have to be locally administered.
I have looked through several threads about this problem and have tried the solutions suggested but so far no success. I hope someone maybe able to come up with something.I have XP Professional installed. On Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Advanced the "turn off advanced text services" always seems to get rechecked. Even if you uncheck it the language bar on the task bar does not appear (even though it is ticked on Taskbar/right-click/Toolbars). If the Language bar option becomes available on Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Settings, when you open it all the Language Bar Settings are greyed out.
Windows XP-P. Suddenly the language task bar disappeared. I tried all options in regional language setting, not succesful. I have unchecked the "Turn off advanced text services", and clicked "apply", and then goto Preferences>Language Bar, but all Options are greyed out, I can't click any one of the 4 options. And when go back to the Advanced setting, the "Turn off advanced text services" went back to checked position.
