I thank you all for the advise and as stated earlier the sound file plays OK, so no codec issue. I can not find the sound icon anywhere. I would appreciate any further advise. kevsim

I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and feel I need to do a Windows Repair Install due to a couple of things not working correctly. When I upgraded to XP Pro, I used a Windows XP SP2 Upgrade disk as I was previously using Windows ME. I have since upgraded my system to SP3, so as I could run SFC...

BadBigBen, thanks for the reply. In the Windows Firewall, when you added the exception, did you also free the ports associated with the application? Q/ How do you find the ports that are associated and how to add? since I do not know what video editing app that is, I can't tell you which ports...

Where I am at the moment. I have uninstalled Zone Alarm, stopped Avast and Windows firewall from starting. On the Modem/Router have I have allowed my computer to be exposed to the internet. When I start the programme around every 3rd or 4th time it connects, I switch on Windows firewall...

Thank you for the advise. I disabled Zone Alarm and from services switched off windows firewall and Avast, still same problem. When running with Windows firewall only it never gives an alert even if the programme is removed from exceptions. I used to receive alerts in Firefox but do not see...

Posthairlessupportmonkey, Thanks for the reply. Zone Alarm switches off Windows firewall when running, if you shutdown Zone Alarm it switches on Windows firewall, as we all know, no 2 firewalls to run at the same time. I assume the router would have a built in firewall, will have to check. In...

Check my post at http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1649332&page=1 re System Restore. This problem has now been rectified, I believe my problem here re copying the files is related. Thank you all for the assistance. kevsim

I deleted uTorrent and Recorder toolbars and another programme Easy Bits Go, between them it would then allow the process to copy the files and now I can run "rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %Windir%\Inf\sr.inf" which is supposed to rebuild System Restore, however it did not restore...

Thank you all. I have tried all the suggestions except using the Image file which I already had and using Bart. Unfortunately nothing worked, I can manually copy the files and replace them without a problem, but when it comes to rebuilding System Restore it keeps telling me the files can not be...

linney and all the others who have shown support, I do not want to do a clean install just because of System Restore. I have that much to reinstall and it would take an extremely long time to do. I have tried ChkDsk, Memory test, Scandisk and the Hard Drive tests again, all came out OK. I...

linney, I forgot to mention, I had already used the utility to check the drives and it found no problems. There is not a problem copying from other disks only the XP files. I borrowed another XP disk and still had the same problems. I will try ChkDsk again and see what happens. I also have a...

goombawaho, Thanks for the reply. The Xp was installed from the same disk as used for the slipstream. The XP, SP3 undate was done with the files which were used to slipstream. The result should have been the slipstream should have matched the operating system installed. After using a ghost...

New Postgoombawaho, Thank you for the comment. I do not know why the files were not copied, I double checked the disk and they were there. Should you know of any reason for this to happen it would be appreciated. Upon completion Internet Explorer and Outlook Express were missing. kevsim
