I've had the IE browser shut down in XP when I try to view certain websites. This is a new install of XP and everything seems to run fine. No error messages appear. Running virus protection with updated defs. Ran the repair feature or IE and reinstalled with no effect. This happens in all...

I've used anonymous proxy servers before that seem to effectively hide your IP. Only the proxy server would retain a record. I've visited sites while using it to see what information could be obtained and if I was running on an anonymous server, it didn't seem to be able to find my machines...

i have a win2k machine that constantly reboots right after logging on. Any idea what I can look at or what might be wrong. I haven't loaded any software recently. Thanks.

I'm trying to install 2000 pro on a Gateway solo 9150 laptop. I keep getting an error #7 on the second of the four boot disks that says error loading hal.dll. Any ideas? These disks work fine on a Solo 9100 that I have. Can't boot from the CD, so that's not an option. I may just load 98...

OK, what am I doing wrong? I've created the 4 startup disks. I load all 4 discs and it copies the winnt folder to the HD. I can see it when I navigate around using an old boot disk to see if it was at least accessible. The error I get occurs when the machine restarts for the first time. It...

Great question. What is out there for someone looking for some virus protection on ad. server 2000 that just runs it at home and doesn't want to pay big bucks. Thanks

Sorry, I should have been more specific. There are a range of answers for that question. I'm running adv. server on my machine at home with IIS in a domain environment. I have a registered domain name. I want to be able to have my domain name point to my machine at home and not to a hosting...

Ok this is simple and I know I should know this, I've just never done it. I have a registered domain name and I want to map it to my static ip on road runners system. Can someone point me to the steps to do this or write them out? THanks for helping a new guys out. Mark

I realize the ambiguity of the problem and that's where my problem is as well. I've tracked down several fatal exception error codes, but this is unlike anything I've ever seen. The error is, "an internal error has occurred" and that's it. No codes, numbers, or detailed...

Hello I'm getting an "internal error" when trying to open the my computer icon. Any ideas why and what I can do about it. I've thought about running the system file checker, but I'm anxious about using it considering it can sometimes extract a file that's the wrong version...

Hey it worked. I have not a clue what changed, but unchecking it from loading has fixed the machine. Thanks for all your help. Mark

Sounds good to me. I'll try remarking any entries I find. Any idea why this would all of the sudden start happening? I don't believe any software has been loaded recently. Thanks. Mark

Thanks. I tried the step-by-step and it halted when loading the cd-rom device driver. Now, is it necessarily the driver of something else? In the bootlog.txt it says, "InitDone - TSRquery" as the last entry any ideas where to proceed from here. Should I unload the cd-rom from...

Good idea guys. I don't mind restoring the registry, but I think I'll wait on that one. Question about that... Would restoring the registry fix a problem with a corrupted file if that's what it turns out to be? I would say no and that the actual driver file(s) would need to be reloaded...

I have a win 98 machine that is freezing up all of the sudden on the splash screen. No devices or software have been added. Will boot to safe mode. I've heard about the mcafee freeze up on when booting, but it's not on this machine. Tried unplugging the keyboard to check for a conflict, but...
