Under WinXP Pro SP1, my previously fine usb flash drive suddenly lost its partition info. Have recovered important files using Ontrack Easy Recovery 6, and now wish to format the thing so that I can use it again, but neither XP nor Partition Magic 8 can do it. It still appears under XP, but PM8...

Have a Speedtouch Alcatel 510 4port adsl Modem hooked up to 2 pc's running XPPro & XPHome. Internet access is okay from either. Have run Network Wizard on both to try and setup as part of network. No luck. Going into the browser interface for the modem reveals that they are both assigned...

Do you mean that it will boot into Windows but only for about a minute? If you can get it to run in Windows at all, you probably have time to go to system properties and turn off the automatic restarts. After the next reboot it should stay up long enough to run a virus checker. Go - My Computer...

Hi again Bcastner Have already looked in Google too, same result. Looked at file properties, no comments or entries in any of the fields. Tried MS Knowledge, no luck there either. It seems to have all the trappings of a web client, but Zone Alarm doesn't report anything, and Norton's AV passes...

My solution to all the bugs in WMP? Use anything else. There are plenty of freeware players out there that do a better job.

Just a simple question really. What is the function of ffpsrv.exe? Can I safely kill the process, or is it a necessary part of MS System?

Good Day Could we have some specs, eg type of soundcard, mobo, cpu? Although it seems to me that if you are not squeamish about pulling your rig apart, it might be a good idea to simply turn off the rig, remove the soundcard, reboot, remove(uninstall) all entries referring to the card from...

The simplicity of Apuk's answer fits. This is something I didn't try directly. And can't now. From what I now understand, (not much), this would probably revert the necessary registry settings to normal, as the security service would have to check the existence of the required permissions or...

Hey linney It's way over my head too, but like a good little soldier/terrier, I'm willing to chase it for a while. Please hang on to this thread, as your advice thus far has been incisive, to say the least. Yesterday, I got brave and deleted the keys in question. Lo and behold, no tab. No lost...

also, this link, from a related page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cossdk/htm/pgservices_events_20rp.asp To a non-programmer like me, it seems feasible in light of the explanations on these pages, that by not being called from a required subscription, the...

linney its this bit that worries me (from the article in the link) "Subscriptions exist independently from event class objects. You can disable a subscription by setting the Enabled property to False. A disabled subscription is not called by COM+ Events. The three types of subscriptions...

ok linney having read the article in the link, I'm still not sure that it excludes the possibility. The Class subkey in the post restore key refers to a "VssEvent" which in different keys, refers to both ES.dll and EventClass.dll. Are these dll's, by not being called upon, because the...

Is it your intention to completely remove access regardless of the user? Or do you only want to protect it from certain users? Eg: Do you still want access under the Administrator account. The solution to this will be dependant upon your particular OS. Looking at your user type, is this a...

Well, I'm no registry genius, (I'll leave that to the coders amongst you and the guys at MS), but this just may be the right direction. Comparing the two registries in question, I noted a whole series of entries missing in the problematic one. They lay under the following key...

different file system is the way to go, in my experience. fdisk, and format the drive first as per win98 startup floppy norms. Then I use Mandrake Linux 8 or later,from a full install cd, to completely format that whole drive as ext2, I then play around with linux (always interesting), in order...
