Apr 6, 2007I downloaded some windows updates but not all of them installed. When I go to Turn Off Computer, the "Turn Off" button has changed, indicating that when I hit it, it will install the updates. There's also a field I can click which will Turn Off without installing the updates. When I click the Turn Off buttion, it attempts to install two updates. It doesn't appear to be successful. Every time I Turn Off Computer it apparently tries to install the same two updates. I can reboot and do this over and over and they don't "take".There's nothing in Event Viewer to indicate what's going on. I couldn't find any installation logs though I'm not sure where to look.

Jan 13, 2009Okay so I usually leave my computer on all the time. I went to bed and when I got up it was off and couldn't get it to turn on. So I assumed it might be the power supply so I went and bought a new one from stamples. He turned on for maybe 5 seconds then turned off. so I took it back thinking maybe I didn't have enough watts. The higher watts didn't doanything. I am lost without my computer can anyone help? I have Win XP..Could it be the fan? Even though the fan worked when i plugged in first PS...Second didnt do anything. Could it be something to do with motherboard?

Oct 4, 2009I had my laptop serviced by the manufacturer. I had the hard disk restored from backup and I ran into a problem with the fax which had not existed before the service. I am trying to establish whether the problem is with the hardware which requires to send the laptop back. I have one phone line which I split into two by inserting 2 RJ11 cables into a dual connector: one goes to the phone, one to the laptop/fax. I use one device at a time, of course. When I try to fax from the laptop I don't get a dial tone. I also noticed that as long as the fax line is inserted into the connector, the phone does not get a dial tone either; when I disconnect the fax cable, the phone tone comes back.

Faster Dial Up: Like Onspeed In The UK?
Feb 19, 2005I currently use a UK dial up connection with Connectfree to access the internet; generally without any problems. There now appear to be a number of "faster dial up" applications available (all at a cost of course) that claim to enhance speeds on average by a factor of X5. For example - Onspeed in the UK. Does anyone have any experience of any of these applications or know of any similar applications that are free. At the end of the day, I assume it is only a packet compression tool?

Jul 11, 2005I've been an XP Home SP1 user for quite a while now. I've been hesitant to upgrade to SP2, because I've heard that some common software does not work properly on SP2.

Dial Up Re-dials After Inactivity
Jun 17, 2005I have computers sharing ICS, it is set to drop the connection after 5 minutes of inactivity, which it does. But it dials back a few seconds later. I deselected redial if line dropped and lowered the redial attempts, but it still does it. What do I do? I’d like the computers to have dial on demand, but I would like the connection to be free when not needed. These computers don’t have permission to access Windows updates and I keep them spyware and virus free as best I can.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDial Up Networking Connection Disappears
Dec 17, 2006XP Pro SP2. In Network Connections folder I had an icon for a dial-up connection (which I use), a LAN connection (for wired NIC), A Wireless connection (for built in wireless card), and a 1394 connection (firewire port that XP likes to list as a connection). The NIC, wireless, and 1394 I keep set to disabled when I'm not using them. I enabled the wireless card and set up ad-hoc connection to another laptop with built-in wireless, so I could transfer some files between the two.
After I was finished, I disabled the wireless connection again. My dial-up networking connection disappeared from the Network Connections folder, and it's shortcut icon on desktop disappeared. It still showed in IE Intenet Options, and I could dial-up from there, but when I did, no computer icons appear in the taskbar, leaving me no way to disconnect except by pulling the phone cord............
