This error happens during application rollout using GPO to a Vista machine
(rollout to other Vista machine works without any problem). Machine specific
issue.

Seems to be an access right problem. What means %%APPDATA%% for System account?

Thanks a lot! Herbert

I am using Windows XP (Service Pack 2) Media Player 10. A new cable modem was
recently installed and I hear no audio. The speakers are connected properly
and power light comes on. After checking Control Panel, Audi

I purchased and installed an Upgrade version of Windows XP Home on an
old desktop PC several years ago. I've since removed the hard drive
and retired that old PC to the local recycling station. I would like
to upgrade my laptop that came with Windows 2000 Pro with this XP Home
OS since I did pay for it - I still have the disk and product key.
Will I be able to do this without having an activation problem?

I use Windows XP Service Pack 2 and IE7.
I am unable to download and install anything, on some items I am getting the
message:

'Windows Installer
Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation
before proceding with this install.'

But how can I find out which 'other installation is already in progress'?
Anyone know, please?

I had a motherboard crash. Putting together a new machine. Inxtalled XP Pro
on a new hard drive in the new machine. All fine. Then moved the old hard
drive to the new machine with all the data and files. For some reason, I
can't access some files I need. Like the database from Clipmate or any files
under the identity of the administrator of the old machine, which is the
same as the new one. Is there a way to get past whatever it is that's
stopping me. The error is 'access denied,' etc........ Is there a hack that
can get me into my own files???
I had stored passwords etc where i thought they would be safe, but with the
motherboard dying, they are a lot safer than I needed.........Appreciate any
suggestions......thanks..

In the Windows/ folder there are many files with scarey
names like $ntServicePackUninstall$ and
$NtuninstallKB885836$. Most of them are a year or more old.
I understand that they are needed if you want to uninstall
an update.

I recently installed SP3, which went off flawlessly (to my
delight). I understand that SP3 includes all the prior
updates.

Does this mean that I can safely delete all those files
except the one for SP3? What about SP1 and 2, are they also
included in SP3? Is it okay to delete SP 1 and 2?

Most of the files are listed in blue, which I understand
means that they are compressed. Do you delete a compressed
file the same way you delete a regular file?

If it's not a good idea to delete them, is there some way I
can hide them so they don't display when I open the Windows/
folder? I have lots of space on the HD, so I don't really
have to delete them.

Windows XP media center edition on Dell C521.

In the C:\Windows\temp folder there are some 400 files named zlt plus
a number with the TMP extention. Most seem to be about one year old,
but a few are newer. The size is listed as 1 kb.

I opened some with Notepad, but nothing displays.

Can I safely delete these files, assuming that they will allow me to
delete them.

I have XP home edition on a Compaq laptop.

Thanks

I use Windows XP Service Pack 2 and IE7.
I have been trying to download Flash Player, I click on download and am
asked to add the ActiveX Control which I do. Then the box appears inviting me
to Install, which I click on, the box goes, then nothing.
I have checked the ActiveX Controls list for my computer and the one for
Flash Player isn't there.
This is just an example of one of the things I have tried to download,
nothing works.

Help, please?

I have a strange problem. If i open a program window e.g. internet
explorer, all is well for a short time, then the window refuses to respond
to any command even to close. I then open prog man with ctrl alt del then
close it by clicking twice on the 'x' close box(it won't close on the first
click) then all is well again for another length of time. It isn't the
same amount of time each time.

I've run more malware and AV progs, online AV the lot. still can't fathom
it.

any help will be rewarded in heaven :)

TIA
