Thanks for the tip. That didn't help, but I did find a permission setting on the server root folder that did fix the issue. Appreciate you getting back to me and the follow-up. Have a great day!

I take care of a small church with handful of computers. They access the Windows 2003 Server just as a file server(not a server login). The computers were all Windows XP with no problem accessing and sharing documents from a shared drive on the server. Now I have started updating the computers...

Thanks again. I thought that should be in there, but didn't want to try it while everyone was logged on to the server. GIZ

The ISP DNS was already in the forwarding. Still cannot get to internet. When the server was installed it the IP address of the NIC was 192.168.1.2 with subnet of 255.255.255.0 There was no Gateway and the DNS is 127.0.0.1 Should the Gateway and DNS be something different?

Thanks. I'll give it a try

I am assisting a small business (6 Windows XP machines) install a Server. The server is up and running. I have DNS and DHCP running (formerly DHCP done by linksys router). Clients can log into domain and access server, but they cannot access internet unless I hard code the router address in the...

Thankyou for the suggestions. I had thought I'd better make sure I had all the windows updates. When I clicked on windows updates, it found and downloaded one update and then a screen popped up and asked for the Microsoft Money CD. I removed Microsoft Money and all is fine. Thanks again for...

I have a windows xp home machine that when it starts up the floppy disk continues to light up like it's looking for a disk. I loaded the Process Explorer and found that it is the msiexec windows install program. So obviously it is trying to install something. Does anyone know how to find out...

Here is a strange problem. In outlook express, when I compose and send a new email, it goes out just fine. But the receipents never receive it and I never get a message back saying it failed. If I take that same message(that is in the sent items box) and forward it, it goes out fine, and they do...

After narrowing down the driver USBport.sys, I did a google search and found someone with the exact same problem http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt-2000-xp/413839-solved-17-cpu-utilization-normal.html They disabled the USB 2 support to fix it.

okay I got those process monitoring tools to run and it is the USB drivers that are out of control. In fact, the usb ports don't even recognize a device when I plug one in, but everything appears okay in the system device manager. I will dig a little deeper. Thanks everyone for all your input

I've just reloaded windows on the orginal drive with the restore disks I made. It takes about 2 hours to boot. The system process I was talking about is the Image named SYSTEM. Hopefully in the next several hours I can run the 'process explorer' and 'process monitor'

Well, I had another hard drive and installed it and reloaded windows and the problem disappeared. The only difference is this drive is not SATA and windows was not loaded from the compaq recovery partition. I have created compaq recovery disks and going to use them on the ide drive and see...

I have a computer where the system process is 99%. I have reformatted the hard drive and re-isntalled windows xp twice and still the same problem. I did a full diagonsitic on the hard drive and it passed. There was a power outage that may have caused this. I was just wondering if anyone knew if...

Thanks. I unplugged all the USB devices and tried them one by one and it ended up being a paper port scanner causing the problem.
