    - logging on I was having problems with my computer, so I decided to shut down. Upon shutting down, I received a notice that someone else was logged on to my computer and they may lose data if I shut down. I have no idea who that could be or how anyone could log on to my computer. Suggestions on how to stop this. Tag: SP2 as an executable? Tag: 62829

    - Security Center mis-displaying firewall status I'm operating under XP Pro w/SP2. When I turn the firewall off (temporarily), the Security Center continues to show that it's on. I know it's off, because I ran the routine from the command prompt that displays firewall status. What could be causing the Security Center to "think" that it's on and not display the warning icon in the system tray that I remember seeing when the status display was working properly?

    - Office XP SP3 withough CD I'm trying to apply MS04-28. We use Office XP and outlook2003. I know we have to apply SP3 for Office XP before MS04-28 patch. When I did it, Office XP CD was required. I have to make our company's end users apply this patch within next week, I really want to know how to apply SP3 withtout CD. I found an article but we installed Office XP with "full install" then set up outlook2003. So this article say I cannot do this method. Is there any method do this? We also installed Japanese MUI for windows XP and Office XP and outlook2003. Tag: SP2 as an executable? Tag: 62813

    - Firewall And AntiVirus turns Off automatically on Restart Hi, I'm using Windows XP SP2, Norton AntiVirus2004, whenever I restart my computer Firewall & AntiVirus turns off automatically, Windows Security window pops up, and then I have to Enable both of them everytime. Does microsoft know any virus/worm that does this? Or Symantec knows any virus/worm that is capable of this??? It's annoying to keep enabling them upon restart.

    - Force PW change with notice I'm looking for a way to force individual user's passwords to expire ahead of schedule in a manner consistent with the normal expiration according to the domain/ local security polices. Does anyone know of an existing script or tool that can do this? If not, where can I find the current value of a user's remaining days until password expires? The point is initially some users do no change their passwords or they have shared them with others. I would like to force an expiration that gives them the standard notice before the expiration occurs, allowing them to change their passwords on their own. Tag: SP2 as an executable? Tag: 62793

    - keeping kids off computer many thanks to all those who suggested disciplinary measures, as if I hadn't thought of that myself (this child is No. 4 of 6, we have some experience with this, folks.) I guess I should have mentioned that the kid in question is 17 years old, is close to 6 feet tall and weighs almost 200 lbs. We have already suspended car privileges for him, a brand-new driver, who was indeed upset by that but apparently not upset enough. Fortunately he is not being malicious about it (hasn't done any damage to computer) he just wants to "show us." Tag: SP2 as an executable? Tag: 62778

    - blocked url on Outlook Express message After installing SP2, I recently received a formatted message in Outlook Express that included a link to the sender's web site (www.feldmans.net). When I copy the web site address into my browser, I have no trouble reaching the web site and it appears to be a legitimate business site. However if I try to click on the link directly in the received email message, it goes nowhere, and when I look at the HTML source for the message I see that it has this---"blocked::http//www.feldmans.net"--so that when I click the link nothing happens.

    - Locking out proxy in IE How do I create a group policy so that users in the USERS group cannot change their proxy settings? Also, I need to create a default lock-out of those settings, because new users log in through AD every day, and I want them to automatically be locked out of the internet upon first logon. We cannot, however, lock out users in the Administrators group because we need IE for updating software. I have found settings to modify in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER reg, but that only applies to the user whos logged in. The key here is that new users log in all of the time, and I need those lock-outs in place automatically while still letting the administrator group log into and change the proxy settings.

    - BITS: Am I being spied? I am running a Windows XP desktop client on a novel and Windows 2000 network. I one day noticed my hard drive suddenly get very busy while I was idle. I got curious about it and did a search on files that had changed during the day and found out that at the time of the hard disk activity, BITS (Background Intelligent Tranfser Servcice) had transfered a 110 MB file somewhere. From what I have learned, BITS is an operationg system utility that is used to set up file transfers by administrators. This leads me to wonder if somone is acquiring information from my system and transfering it to themselves, or is it merely a routine function of the operating system. Tag: SP2 as an executable?

    - Program won't install-download disappears I am working on a friend's computer. He had a lot of viruses (a whole lot) that I have gotten rid of. There is one virus/trojan that I can't find, though. It is not reported by his AV. An example of the symptoms follow (this has happened numerous times). I tried to install a new program after downloading it from a website (this site is a reputable one). The install starts, gets to the first or second installation screen, then stops and installation stops (all install screens disappear). I go to the downloaded file, to start install again and the file is gone from the folder. It's nowhere to be found. I go to the 'Task Manager', find what looks to be suspicious files running, and stop them. I have even deleted these files/programs numerous times but they keep getting reinstalled. Also, I stop any suspicious files that are in the auto-start file. After I restart, after stopping/deleting the suspicious files, I download the program that I originally wanted to install again and installation goes fine. The program works fine and all is rosy (until I return later). But when I come back to see my friend a couple of weeks later, the above routine starts again. It's like the offending virus/program has reinstalled itself and is again doing whatever it is doing. Has anyone had similar experiences of this kind? Or is anyone familiar with this scenario? Thanks for any help. Tag: SP2 as an executable? Tag: 62725

    - Scanning schedule? Is there a recommended schedule for scanning a PC for viruses/trojans/malware/etc.? I use most of the programs suggested in this newsgroup (Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, WinPatrol, CW Shredder, etc.), plus I have active anti-virus and firewall in place. I run each of the scans daily, and I always seem to find something lurking. At times this seems like paranoia, but I'm trying to prevent greater problems. Is daily too often? Or is there no such thing as too often? The problem is that these scans take quite a while to run. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Tag: SP2 as an executable? Tag: 62716

    - Sp2 problems(that MS won't solve), and solution to Restore Point sp2 problem; On many newgroups I have seen that Sp2 caused Restore Point problems. Sp2 install had turned off "Task Scheduler Service". However, after many emails, chat sessions, etc. with MS they never were able solve the Outlook Express problem - after sp2: OE option "Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail" has disappeared. OE crashes when I open attachments, cannot edit email messages. Now I know that Sp2 has some serious bugs. I much regret ever having installed it. All it did was mess up my computer and waste alot of my time. Microsoft should not have released this CD until the bugs were fixed. I get the feeling that I have been used to "test" this product for Microsoft so they can receive free testing. Even after uninstalling Sp2 my Outlook Express was not fixed, and by then the restore point that I had set before install of Sp2 was gone. MS gave up trying to fix the problem; probably does not want to pay an American expert to resolve the problem. Microsoft owes me something for misery, time, and a now dehabilitated 'Outlook Express' program. Tag: SP2 as an executable? Tag: 62705

Hi everybody.
Any idea where can I download the XP-SP2 as an exe file from?
I mean, I would like to save SP2 on a CD and install it on several
computers, and not spend hours and hours downloading the same thing in each
computer I have to update.
Thanks,
Mike
