    Best Antivirus?

    NOD32 is the best antivirus on the market if you are willing to pay for it. Avast! as a free alternative is far better than AVG in my experience.

    Windows Explorer

    Are you doing this from the command line or Start>Search? It works fine for me with Start>Search? Or is it desktop search you are referring to?

    How do I roll back an installation of XP PRO to XP Home

    You need to enter the bios and change your boot order. Put the cd drive as first preference and then save settings and reboot with the XP Home disk in the drive. Watch the screen as it boots you often need to press a key when requested to initiate booting from the cd.

    XP Pro Networking component keeps dying

    Ok. I don't want to speak to soon but it appears that it is working again. This is what I did: Installed USB Modem (Modem 2), seemed to install ok but I still couldn't connect to it. Took modem2 to a friends place, he could connect to it via ethernet so I upgraded the firmware and returned home...

    XP Pro Networking component keeps dying

    rvnguy, Thanks for the response. I agree, clean install would be the way to go but there are a couple of things that still really concern me. First and foremost, I don't know what the problem is, it reappeared after a repair install so who's to say it won't after a clean install...

    XP Pro Networking component keeps dying

    Ok, I spent 4 hours last night trying to crack this puppy without success but I have narrowed down the possibilities. First I booted into safe mode and ran a full scan with an updated copy of ewido - nothing. I tried netsh winsock reset and ipconfig /dnsflush - nothing. After taking home...

    XP Pro Networking component keeps dying

    Bill, #1 The system has 1Gb Ram so...? I will disconnect the router tonight and upgrade the firmware on another system tomorrow if req'd. #2 Known good cable going in tonight. #3 Hadn't seen that but will keep it in mind, since Hotfix isn't readily available, I'll leave this one 'til...

    XP Pro Networking component keeps dying

    If Knoppix wasn't connecting either, I too would think hardware but Knoppix seems to be running flawlessly - the Networking component anyway. I have already been through FAQ779-4625, will try it again tonight after malware scans. I assume you mean the very well written (*wink*) FAQ608-4650...

    XP Pro Networking component keeps dying

    Thank you for your replies. @rvnguy Power Management is off on the network adapter as suggested. Will try the flushing the dns cache. The FAQ (excellent work bcastner) and mskb article I found and worked through before I posted here. @bcastner I have hard reset the router about 6 times already...

    XP Pro Networking component keeps dying

    Ok, this thread continues from here - http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1133633 when I thought the problem was fixed. This computer is only a couple of months old and has functioned flawlessly until last week when the network dropped. It is a standalone system connected via ethernet to...

    Network dropped, now XP won't boot - Urgent

    Fixed! Phew, after reading here - http://forum.alcohol-soft.com/index.php?showtopic=14109 I found it was related to two files a347bus.sys & a347scsi.sys that halt the system after having SP2 installed on top of them, which I did when I did the repair reinstall (slipstreamed). The two files in...

    Network dropped, now XP won't boot - Urgent

    Forgot to say. Don't know whether this is relevant but when trying to boot into safe mode it freezes on loading a347bus.sys ?

    Network dropped, now XP won't boot - Urgent

    Thanks rvnguy, but I just got back out and tried a few things - now have more info. I booted into the recovery console and did a chkdsk /r, no change. I managed to disable the auto-restart and got the BSOD STOP:0x0000007B (0xF79F7528,0xCOOOOO34,0x00000000,0x00000000) I'm looking at this mskb -...

    Network dropped, now XP won't boot - Urgent

    The ethernet connection to my modem died abruptly at 6:41pm last night. The rest of the system was working fine at this point. I use the onboard lan on ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. I can't ping anything (destination unreachable), Device Manager says this device is working correctly. Tried system restore...

    MP4 file

    By using an application such as foobar2000 - http://www.foobar2000.org/ I use foobar and it does the job quite well. Google for more alternatives.

    adsl connected, but no dns?

    Do you have a firewall installed? This could be causing the problems you describe. Also try putting the DNS into your modem/router.

    Weird SQL file

    May be worth trying to boot into Knoppix or another non-Windows environment and deleting the file. Back the file up first if possible, just in case. or http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_undeletable_file.htm Daniel.
