when I go to start and over to windows update up top this is what shows up - Use your Start menu to check for updates. Windows Update is now included in Control Panel. In the future, to check for updates (or if this webpage doesn’t open Windows Update automatically): Click the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update.
problem also is when I click start,click All Programs, and then click Windows Update it is not there.But is is on start and above programs - just not in the programs area. and when I click on it a web page shows up saying - Use your Start menu to check for updates. Windows Update is now included in Control Panel. In the future, to check for updates (or if this webpage doesn’t open Windows Update automatically): Click the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update.
I'm not sure my question belongs in this venue and trust someone will kindly direct it elsewhere if applicable.When I convert a document to a PDF file, Windows XP Pro automatically tries to open the new PDF file with Miscrosoft Office Picture Manager. Further, when opening a PDF file from Windows Exploder (pun intended) I have to go the extra step of telling Windows to "open with" Acrobat 6.0 or it will automatically try to open with Picture Manager.
I can surf the net fine except for one site. I have been to the site numerous times, and i have my email through the site (www.triadpictures.com), but now i can no longer access the site or my email. I pretty much have no acces to the triad server. I need this fixed, is there anyway?
i have a wireless network set up around my house and i have 2 desktops connected and one laptop connected to this network one fo the desktops and the laptop are connected fine and run the internet perfectly but the other desktop says it is connected to the network but will not open ANY webpage, will not connect to recive emails or any thing like that. I have called the makers of the wirless networking equitment about 10 times and one the last try they got me to go into command prompt and type "ipconfig" which came up with my IP address and it starts with "169" where as the other desktop and the laptop both have IP addresses starting with "192" so they said that my IP address was dodgey and this was a microsoft problem. i was wondering if any one knows any ways of changing my IP address so that it will start with "192" and will let me be able to connect with my wireless network.

I have had a slightly annoying problem with Outlook Express which I use as my default mail client. Everything seems to work fine apart from when I try to open PDF files directly from OE, it tries to open them with notepad, which obviously doesn't work. I can save them anywhere else on my computer, my documents for example, and opening them from there works fine. I have the latest Adobe Reader. I can't find anyway to tell OE to open these attachments using Adobe Reader.
My ethernet input has recently been broken thanks to my Mrs, so I got an ethernet adapter which connects into the USB.Now I cant remember if I started to experience problems before or after the install...However I have experienced no end of problems recently... I cant download a file and then open it in any of the Office apps, as soon as I do, it tells me 'Notepad/Word' etc has encountered a problem and needs to close. On top of this, I cant run Firefox and if I try to click on links in my email within IE, the same thing happens.I have AVG and Malwarebytes and have ran them both and they havent picked up on anything.
windows xp general. it doesnt appear.so i dont know what the reason can be. could it be that my post is too long (is one page word long)? so the forum doesnt take it?....
My PC is running absolutely stable (7 hours of orthos). Just bought this EVGA motherboard and swapped it in place of an Asrock motherboard and got everything running, overclocked and stable.Before I got Windows XP running (previous installation from the asrock mobo), I encountered an issue and i isolated it down to one of the 200gb 7200.7 SATA HD's.IF this HD is plugged in when the PC boots, then the Windows XP Boot screen appears and hangs. NOTE: it DOES NOT freeze - the bar still moves, but there is no HD activity and the pc stays like this for hours on end. Note again - this is not a hang. the activity bar still moves from left to right, and it keeps doing this indefinitely it seems (with no HD activity from any drives). IF this HD is not plugged in, the PC boots in straight away. All drivers are tip top (nforce drivers, SATA drivers). However if I hot-plug this drive from within Windows, it works fine!. The PC just doesn't boot with the HD plugged in.
I click on the little yellow shield, and it says there's an update waiting. I tell it to Express Install. It does, and says it's finished. Later, I click on the shield again, and the same update is waiting to be installed.
Message displayed during installation:
Initializing installation... done!
Installing Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB928366) (update 1 of 1)...
I've "installed" this update at least three times. And I've already got SP 2 installed, so why does it keep wanting to install something from SP 1? How do I make it stop?
I screwed around with some of the settings with my firewall and stuff and now when i go to surf the web, on most of the webpages this warning comes up ... "Security Warning: The Current Webpage is trying to open a site in your Trusted sites list. Do you want to allow this?"
Im new, so bear with me please. The problem is on my old Sony Viao Model PCG-6H4L XP. I wanted to start fresh and the recovery system for windows gives me only a limited number of dates. I thought that the Viao recovery would do the job.I was wrong. I haven't checked recent forums about problems with this, so I went ahead and broke my laptop. Before the Recovery system starts, my laptop says, with a black background.
Since I uploaded the update of Windows Defender my options on my PC have changed.I can no longer type any particular letters using my keybord without a window popping up. Here are the following keys which causes me problems: E = Opens up My Computer R= RUN U= Utilility Manager D= Desktop F= Search Results L= Login Window M= Desktop I cannot type in Google, Firefox address bar. If I press one of these keys while I'm on my Desktop these actions occur too.
Every time I boot my computer.A lot of my program window folders open up automatically.I included a screen shot of what it looks like when they open on startup. I have done the MSCONFIG thing and gone to startup.
i tried to install media player but it said i needed the update rollup 2 so i tried to install that but it failed and no updates are working they all fail. Someone told me to uninstall some updates and reinstall them but i cant find them. any ideas?
I while ago someone sent me a DAT file on this newsgroup that helped restore the msinfo32.exe file. I can't remember what the file was, though. Could anyone send it me again? Whatever happened to disable msinfo32.exe seems to have happened again, not sure what, but I think it's ZoneAlarm Pro cleaning out the locked DAT files.
Is there a way I can update from Windows 2000 Pro to Windows XP Pro without having to reinstall my programs and backup/reinstall all of my files? Is it safe to just update like this?
I have Win XP Home with SP#3.My wife and i each use individual accts, user ids etc.For no reason I can understand suddenly when i click on one of my desktop shortcuts to open a website...e.g. Facebook, Yahoo etc..instead of automatically opening the specific site I get the box which asks which program i want to use to open the site.It is usally always Int.Ex. and at the bottom of the box there is a checkbox to indicate that when you open that same site in the future it should always be opened using IE, but when i go to open the site again i have to again each time indicate i want to use IE to open it. I also went to my wife's side of the pc and tried hers and her website shortcuts open properly like mine used to
It's not my computer, it's my friend's computer. He is unable to get passed the windows login. We have tried all 3 logins including the administrator and guest accounts. On all of them, it automatically logs back out even before getting to the desktop. Also, booting into safe mode produces a BSOD with stop error message. I'd just reformat it but my friend doesn't want to lose all of his data.
hope I'm in the right place.... When I log on my home PC (Window XP with Office 2003), I'd like Outlook and Explorer to open automatically, rather than having to select them from the Start menu.

After an automatic update to Office XP & Windows XP yesterday, I cannot open Internet Explorer I cannot download anything from Microsoft Update, I cant even download the new I/E 7. Currently running XP Home SP2, with I/E 6.00.2900.2180. I tried to download a help guide to correct this off MS site but I can't download a thing. I can get on my AOL ok.
I keep getting a pop up, bottom right asking me to click on a Java Update, and I will get Open Office Free. Should I? I am a bit nervous when I get such pop-ups, as to know what to do. And I dont really want nor NEED 'Open Office Free'. What is it? I already have microsoft office which is more than sufficient.
I have run avg,superantispyware,malware bytes, and to no avail it says it is clean but i know there is something not allowing me to access windows update.
I have never had a problem before with windows updates. however, It says I need to download that windows validation tool so I click on it to download and install and it goes through everything like it should then says it failed to install, 4 times now it comes up error 0X80070005 I went through the thing where Microsoft is suppose to help you they get info and then help you solve it, I stilll haven't heard a thing from them. The funny part is that I downloaded the windows defender (Microsoft Antispyware) and to do so I had to go throught the windows validation and no problem it went through it and I downloaded it. Is that the same thing as this windows update? anyway I can't find error 0X80070005 can anyone help because I got thinking that I haven't had any windows updates for awhile I wonder if I can't get any until I get this downloaded? Any help would be appreciated
