Hi All As I have 3 XP comps ( Run Vista on this one) where can I D/L the stand alone upgrade from ? I have a faster connection at work and could do it from there, then onto CD for the rest. Oh as I own half the biasness I,m not stealing the net connection. Regards WW4 (Noel)

I have a HP laptop, Duel core, with 1 gig ram with all updates.ran all scans, defrag,ect ect Tryed to install SP 1 first D/Led the full install from MS, installed it , PC would boot up then would lock up , ok. Used MS update to install it! same prob . Any ideas ????? System runs like a dream with out it !! since I fixed the bluetooth prob that vista has My specs are....... Computer: Operating System Microsoft Windows Vista Home Edition OS Service Pack - DirectX 4.09

I D/Led and installed them 3 days ago, (thanks JSKY) it has made my boot times and other stuff like file transfers smother and faster

Is your firewall allowing it to connect? it could be blocking it. It runs on all Win OS's, well all vers of XP including Vista,.

Good one ! I now run Avast (free) as my virus checker plus Ad aware SE personal /spy bot and A2 squared, I have vista home prem as my OS had no probs with theses programs. Oh had Nortons as my virus checker till my pc's "date with death" with winfixer

I have had the same problem with belkin tried updating the firmware /unplugging it / even used the reset button in the end I took it back and got a replacement one, told them its faulty, that fixed the problem

Maybe macafee corrupted the restore point too ?

Thank you for reply,s people After some research I worked out I had a virus/Trojan/mail ware "Win fixer" I didn't install it, however there are some people WHO are never going to use my Laptop again! I had running Norton's/ ad ware / spy bot and A2 squared plus UAC, the frools must have ignored it all So if anyone running vista and IE 7 has IE hang or lock up and or very slow starts, my advice check to see if "winfixer" has been installed Try this Tools needed for this fix: Vundo Fix VirtumundoBegone (if VundoFix does not work) Note: This infection is normally detectable by users receiving

Agree with TT Try this is a good one and free "http://www.pcdownloadworld.com/internet/security/zilla-data-nuker.htm"

Does he run and use virus protection,spyware/mailware programs? It could be a corrupt file in Windows preventing the firewall from running, If he has the windows XP install CD, he could do a "Repare install" to replace or fix missing or corrupt files.

Sounds like your audio drivers are screwed up,try deleting them then restart, XP should reinstall them. Or download the latest drivers for your sound card (put on disk or CD) then delete the drivers and re-install manually without rebooting If that does not work, do you have your XP install CD ?

7 gigs (damm) better buy and install 14 gigs if you want 7 to run with any speed

Greetings to all been a while since I last posted, my old PC up and died awhile ago (may she rest in peace) Now have a new lady (PC) in my life a HP laptop Intel duo core 1866 with 1 gig ram, running vista home Prem. The question I have is ! has anyone noticed when using UAC that it slows your boot time , and at times windows Explorer often hangs or needs to restart ? since I disabled this everything seems to be faster. Interested in any feed back Regards WW4 Maybe that the more you add/remove from your system (from its installed factory setup ) the more UCA needs to scan and apro

I have one too!! It is brighter when its moving ,,,if you let it sit for a few sec's ,,it gets dull,,but never stops . Its kind of like a "standby' mode . There's nothing wrong with it

Ever tried to remove or delete a program that windows has locked or run on startup ,,and wont let you do it ??. Instead of going though eveything to shut it down try this Remove On Next Boot its FREE

Hmmm I've been using Sygate for a while now ,,upgraded to the latest ver (firewall) installed it over the top of older ver,,kept my settings ,,and have had no probs with it ! been using it for the last week or so. Maybe I just have "the luck of the gods" with my comp

Ok Girls and Guys ! I' downloaded " Autostreamer" I put my XP upgrade CD in my DVD drive and the SP2 CD in my CD rom drive ,, The program see's both and runs ,,it ask's where to create the ISO I aim it into my "Temp" folder ,,,it finishes ,,I goto my temp folder and its not there! or anywhere on my PC ! What am I doing wrong ???

I just tried it myself and its gone Oh well ,,I'll give it a go every few days

I have a PC running XP home with SP2 with more than one account ,,aka partner and kids plus me, they are all Armin and not limited. I used to be able to use "fast user switching" until now,, i click on "log off" it goes back to the welcome screen with everybody's account name ! you click on another account ,,with yours still active . It starts ,,then goes to a blue screen,,then back to the screen with all the accounts on it ! If the Account is logged out !,, it logs in to whoever's account you click on . Yes i have Avast ,,AdawareSE,,spybot ,,spywareblaster,,spyguard,,A2 squared,,RegScrubXP up

Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command: C:\> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs Where C: is a name of the drive you want to convert.

WOOOHOOO !! Glad to be able to help bro

OK Ladies and Gents I have a good list of what i think i should have, aka AdawareSE,,spybot,,A2 squared,,etc,,,, Would like to see if there's anything I have missed,, yep i know "look at the "Get your answers here" thread at G4 and the ones here done all that. Just would like to see if there's anything else that you guy's and gal's use and recommend. Thanks for your time Oh and an after thought ,would it be possible (if using a CD RW ) to slipstream updates to each program ??

Are the USB ports built in ?,,or is it a card ! if its a card open the case and make sure its seated properly. Or goto "System",,"devise manager",, and delete / un install them ,,then reboot let windows find and reinstall them again. could be a corrupted USB driver

I downloaded it from Here and it worked for me ,,I used port 300 hope it works for you

Found this Win XP Command Lines Might be of use to some /all
