Hi

I did a check through previous post and a few people seem to have had
similar problems without specific details, so im going in for as much detail
as I have. I have a relatively new laptop (Nov 2007, not used much as
migrated from old machine which i hung onto). The machine hasnt got filled
with dust, and till the exact time of the automatic update was behaving fine.

Yesterday I used Windows/Microsoft updates to apply the latest updates, i
only got 7 of them including office updates. The scan for updates took a long
time, 2 minutes nearly, with the CPU at 100%%. I hadnt had this the last time
i ran it. Anyway after it finished and i applied the updates i noticed the
fan kicking in a lot more even when no CPU activity was visible using Task
Mananger. Anyway I checked for restore points and noted one for Software
Distribution Service 3, which i thought was odd as this came out some while
back from what i remember so why would it only now decide to install it. My
old laptop (which was about 3 years old at the time) had a similar issue with
Automatic updates, taking several hours to complete a scan one time after
which it had a similar problem.

Is it possible to delete an unused icon from "my computer" folder?
TIA

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with one of my PCs. After it
runs for a couple of weeks, I have noticed that the left-click on a
desktop icon brings up the properties page instead of running the
program.

Any thouhgts on where I should look for a cause and/or possible
solution?

Hello,

I have just clean reinstalled XP. Before doing so, I backed up all my
Internet Explorer favorites to a USB hard-disc. Unfortunately these
favorites are locked read-only, and I can't change this attribute. I have
tried changing the attribute in the file properties, but this does not work.
I have also tried the attrib -r command but this does not work either.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

I made all the favorites on my old Vista installation, and so maybe the
problem is linked to UAC on Vista?

Hi,

A business person asked me to check their website for the correct
display of special lyrics that I wrote that are embedded in their
website. My job is to see if they are on the right place on the
website soon to be published.

They created the messenger kind of website with Dreamweaver. I was
unable to download their file(s) on my computer (HP Laptop) as I don't
have Dreamweaver.

What other possibilities are there for me to see if all is correctly
displayed and to correct what is wrong?

What do think the chances are of a mobo swap without having to do a repair
install on these two similar systems:
Mobo: Epox 8RDA3+ vs Epox 8RDA3+ Pro
Northbridge: nVidia nForce2 Ultra 400 vs nForce2 Ultra 400Gb (gigabit
LAN)
Southbridge: MCP2 vs MCP2S
video card: same card in each
hard drive: Seagate 120GB IDE vs Seagate 80GB IDE
LAN: onboard Realtek vs Netgear PCI wireless

Reason for swap is troubleshooting the occasional boot failures (stops on
BIOS screen) on the 8RDA+ system.

I wish all you XP folks the best!

With the arrival of my wife's new HP laptop we are retiring the last
XP-based computer that we use on any kind of regular basis so it is time for
me to finishing moving on to Vista. It is getting too much to keep up with
both XP and Vista newsgroups and with SP3 now launched it is a good time to
go. I still run XP on a test box and the x64 edition as well, but it is not
the same as using something daily.

Keep up the good work!

Hello,

I just bought a copy of Windows XP Pro and installed it. I noticed that my
screen saver doesn't come on after the set time and the odd time that it
does, it stays on for less that a minute and then goes back to the desktop
screen, or logon if I set a password.

Any idea how I can fix this. I've tried diffent screen savers, the ones
that come with Windows XP, I first tried the 3D Windows screen saver.

thanks in advance,

Shaun

Hi;
Since i have installed SP3 for win XP while using RDP for servers with
single user each time multiple sessions are opened for a single user, not
only from one PC if the RDP (RDP console in administration tool pack sp2) is
used at another workstation and the same server is accessed with the same
user, another session is provided by the server which was not the case in
SP2. If any user from any workstation used to get connected to server the
session of another user on another workstation with same server user used to
get disconnected.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Note;
I have used the terminal configuration policy (GPO) and set the restriction
to one user but still other workstation can get new session while using the
same server user.

Thanks

Can you plug a random SCSI disk drive into the chain and see it?
