    - Disk Cleanup Stalling For several days now my computer will not run Disk Cleanup. It just stalls and according to Task Manager it is using 99 cpu or 100% of the memory. Also I can only stop it from running by stopping the cleanmgr.exe process in Task Manager (just closing the Disk Cleanup window doesn't do it). I've taken all the steps recommended by E-Machines to free resources and tune-up my computer, but nothing has helped this problem. Any suggestions what's wrong and how to fix it?

    - Stolen Identity I received word from someone on my contact list for MSN Messenger that someone contacted them, pretending to be me. I know who this person is, and they apparently have taken a very similar email address to mine, and used it to obtain my account information from MSN. I would like to be contacted immediately to discuss this further, as I may have to take legal action. Please advise the proper channel I need to take to persue this.

    - How to download and register the AtiveX control from internet for User account? I have COM component and this need to be used in HTML file and hence need to be downloaded and registered at client machine. To achieve this I have created the INF file and compressed the COM and INF file in single CAB file. INF file structure is: [COM.dll] file-win32-x86=thiscab clsid={CLSID:D3BEF9B9-F7B5-4C24-B247-32257F37FDB6} FileVersion=1,0,0,0 RegisterServer=yes I am refencing the CAB file as follow. <BODY><OBJECT CLASSID="CLSID:D3BEF9B9-F7B5-4C24-B247-32257F37FDB6" CODEBASE="COM.CAB#version=1,0,0,0"></OBJECT></BODY> I have signed the CAB file using test certificate. With this I am able to download and register the dll at client machine when client logged in as Administrator. But when client logged in as User the COM dll does not download and register. Is there any way client can download and register the COM dll even if he logged in as User? Tag: ipsec through pptp Tag: 43569

    - AccessCheck problem Hi all, I have a program that determines a user's permissions from the ACL of a file using the 'AccessCheck' API call. This works fine on all of the platforms except Windows 2003 server, where I'm having a strange problem. The AccessCheck call is failing for users that are members of the built-in 'Administrators' group. If I remove the user from the Administrators group the call is successful. I cannot see why this is happening. I've never had this problem before - this is code that hasn't changed since 1999. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Jamie Tag: ipsec through pptp Tag: 43559

    - Firewall issue I have setup ICS for both of my pc (xp and 98)is up and running fine but at the expense of disabling firewall (zonealarm) at the host machine, only then can the client machine access the network. Is there any setting I could change so that both pc could get connected without disabling firewall. For your info, I'm using NIC for both machines and is not using any router or hub, cos is just a simple setup. Another thing is whenever I boot up my pc, I will get a prompt for Zonealarm which go like this "ZA is waiting for true vector to intialize, cancel?" Any idea why am I having this prompt?

    - Point32.exe ver 4.10.0851.0 attempting internet access on Windows 98 After I installed a firewall I began getting warnings that this program was attempting to access the intenet. I have been refusing to allow access because it is a mouse program and I can't fathom any reason that it would need that access. Also, without the firewall, I have never had any indication from the program that it was making outside access. Therefore, I am concerned that this program, which seems to be from Microsoft according to its 'Properties', has somehow been infected with some sort of virus. A search of the Microsoft.com knowledge base does not return any information to suggest that this is normal behaviour for this program. Is it? If it is normal, what is it doing and why?

    - AVG Antivirus--Help, Which one of the many versions ? Need to get some help in this area as I am not familiar with the AVG product line and am trying out the free download which does seem to work well, I am running it along with Spybot 2.5 and it has picked up a few things that Spybot missed. However... I am a bit lost after digging thru the FAQ's on AVG's homepage and was wondering if someone here could help me out or aim me in the right direction ! I am currently running the AVG Antivirus that I downloaded about 2 weeks ago and is Version 6.0.560 (release date of 09-02-03) Virus Database=352, release date of: 01-08-04. What I am curious about is when I go to the info pages for AVG, it lists AVG 7.0 Anti-Virus System and no mention of the Version 6 that I have and it also lists a AVG Professional Single Edition Do I have the latest version ? I have the free version running on my laptop which is running Windows 98SE and it works very well, however as soon as I can get the correct drivers for the system, I am going to Upgrade it to Windows XP Professional. Soon after that I will be selling the notebook (after I remove AVG) and going with a new notebook that currently has Windows XP Professional on, but I will be upgrading it to Windows Server 2003 Premium Version. In reading the write ups on the products, it sounds like I do not actually want the AVG Professional as it does not run on Server 2003 and as far as I can tell, I would want the "AVG File Server Edition - maximum protection for file servers" OR perhaps I need the "AVG Email Server Edition" For 90% of what I do, I use Outlook Express Version 6.0.2800 (latest Version) with Internet Explorer 6.0.2800. Sometimes I will use Outlook 2002 and will be going to Outlook 2003 when I change to Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003. However I will not be running Server 2003 Premium in a real server mode as at this point am just testing the software. So..the question is, what version ?

So I clicked on a button that was to fix the spyware...however, the message I received was that I would have to buy the full retail version of the spyware scanner....so I did not buy the software...however, I did a search by using the Find Files option and found the file in question was referenced in 856 files...so my question? Does anybody out there know what this file is and what it does? Or, is it possible that the actual maker of the software downloaded a dummy file that does nothing but take up space..but just shows up on their spy scan of the computer so as to scare you into buying their spy protection service? My knowledge of any programming is somewhat limited...and basically just a point and click Windows junkie..so am I being put on by a spyware scam scanner? Greg Tag: ipsec through pptp Tag: 43476

They need a forth one to connect only to the internet. I can setup another PC and lock it out of the NT 4.0 network but the problem is these employees problably know the password for the volunteer users in the upstairs office and that would by pass login protection settings to keep them off the network. I need a PC locked down only accessing the internet so I they can go anywhere on the net and not but the network in harms way.

    - Windows security updates notice As soon as I got online today, a Windows Messenger message popped up, stating I needed to click on the enclosed link to download a security fix--something about a winpatch.net-something-or-other. Do you send security notices via Windows Messenger? I'm not familiar with Win. MSNGR. cause I've never received messages from it before this PC I recently got (I have AOL.) And the few I've gotten on here were from people I don't know--one was an ad; two were from the same person (same gender as me)on different days saying that a friend of mine (doesn't give name)says I'm cool. Well, I'm 50, married with 2 grown kids--so I doubt that! I just closed all these messages including the "security" one today. I did a search for it on MSN's security site, which found nothing--'course I couldn't remember the whole name accurately. Yesterday I had to reinstall Win XP and everything else that came with this PC after it crashed (couldn't get it to do a recovery--something about an NDRLT file missing), and I re-acquired Automatic Update but it wasn't til today that it's stating I need to get a lot of updates (which I do recognize from the 1st time.) It didn't start showing this til AFTER I got and closed the Win Mssgr. message. I just checked the Updates list and there's nothing on it about winpatch.net-whatever. I'm confused, so please email me a reply ASAP, and also tell me what I should acquire from the website that will be able to decipher the genuineness of something for me. Thank you.
