Uninstalled AVG.. No go. Still no connect to the router. So.. tried the Winsock XP fixes, resetting the TCP/IP using netsh etc etc.. Still no go. Restarted in safe mode with networking and then tried the Windows XP Diagnostics. It came back with a problem with the Winsock Provider Catalog...

Ah.. good idea. i did see in the system restore log that AVG had carried out a few big updates.. I will do this and let you know how it goes. Many thanks Andy

A friend of mine has recently had issues with connecting to the internet. Their son was on the PC when the AVG software picked up the "Tinyproxy" virus. He was asked if he wanted to heal it to which he replied yes. Job done.. Now it may be coincidence, but now this machine will not connect to...

He new he had one as it failed to boot much past POST, and then just left him with a DOS screen and the "boot sector virus found" I think, and the name of the virus. When we went to format and re-install windows, we booted straight onto the CD drive, so the BIOS was all set to boot in the...

OK, Removed hard disk and rebooted.. Nothing. Not a glimer from the screen. Not even a flicker from the screen. The only thing that appears to happen is the cd drive is clicking, like its trying to find something, but we are talking straight away here, within seconds of starting. It just seems...

Of course. Will try that in the morning, and will post the result.. no pun intended..;-)

Hmm.. I am annoyed with myself as I was going to do that but for some reason didnt. Anyway.. The problem is, the screen is not firing up. It doesnt even look like the backlight is on. Its like someone has unplugged it. So I cant do anything. I cant see what is happening, or any messages etc...

A friend has the above laptop, and managed to contract a boot sector virus. The machine is a M Processor 1.3 celeron. He said that he didnt want any of the data on it, so we could just reformat it to save messing around. I put a copy of Windows XP Professional in, and booted off of this disk...

I did read on after posting this question, and stumbled across the Single Instance Arch'... MAde me think that, indeed, it shouldn't really make a great deal of difference.! Thanks for the reply, sort of confirmed what I thought.. Andy

This may have been asked before, but I cannot find the answer, so here goes. I have a network with about 30 users internally, and a growing private information store..! We use allot of fairly large drawings internally, and use external consultants, to whom we send our files. What I want to...

OK, thanks again for the tips. Certainly got me into Progman etc.. followed the instructions, restarted..... still the same. I have however, managed to get the HD out, and piggy backed onto a good machine. Got what I want off of the old one, and its FORMAT time for the old one now!! Cheers...

OK, Great tip, got me into safe mode a treat... but the bad news. It still goes into the same screen as when booting in normal mode.. except this time it has "safe mode" in ech corner! It does exactly the same thing, no tasks running, no processes, no start bar etc.. Just have to shut it...

I have a PC with ME loaded, and am having terrible problems getting past any sort of startup screen. It starts to load after the POST process,and then comes up on the DOS screen saying "returning to windows". A white progress bar appears along the bottom of the screen, and then it flips into...

Fantastic, I will have a look today, and see how we get on. Will update later hopefully!! Thanks Andy

OK, How would I go about this, I am quite new to 3Com switches, actually, I have never used them before!! Could you point me in the right direction..? Andy

We have just changed over from an old Netgear switch to 2 3Com 3300 TM, and 3300 MM. The change over was pretty much seamless, as you would hope. But I have one major problem. While all the servers, desktops, printers etc.. all picked each other up with minimal problems, the HP 1050c plotter...

OK, After many hours of pulling (whats left) of my hair out, I have finally found out the way to do this. Yes you were all correct in that it needed extra drivers etc.. but it also needed the following: Dimension 8400 systems support RAID 0 by default. In order to boot to non-RAID SATA hard...

OK, Cheers so far guys, I am enlightened!! Slipstreaming is the way, so I am actively pursuing these methods, and currently am looking at Nlite.. I think you all need a pink star! Will let you know if it works, once I've put the disk together.. Tek-tips.. possibly the best forum in the world.

We generally buy all our PC's from Dell.. we just do. We get them with XP Home loaded, and then FDISK them and load Windows 2000 Prof. We have a site license, so its better this way. Usually, with past Dells, this has never been a problem, and once the first one has been configured, drivers...

Thanks ImWoody, I am hoping that by threatening the right people with the 5.5 version, we should get upgraded sooner rather than later. Although this could be a dahgerous game to play! Might actually have to set it up in NT4 and 5.5...
