I did the scannow, without any prompts to add my cd. I went to your suggested download IE site, and after I entered my info, and clicked "next", nothing happened. Any other suggestions? Also having quite a few Javascript errors such as: "Internet Explorer Script error: URL...

Thanks,gavm99, I will try it when I get home, I was hoping to get an answer before I left for the weekend(I left at 8:30, almost got your message!) Sounds like it will work. Will advise when I try it. Regards vidman

I believe this has to do with Javascript, but I can't fix it. Was in web site, and I was clicking a link within. I have gone into this site on another computer with IE6 without any problem. Any suggestions? Regards, Vidman

Thanks Bob, I went to the MS web site and manually downloaded SP2, but it still will not give me updates. Bcastner, thanks to you also, as your suggestions in the past have really helped me, however, the fix that you pointed me to was no applicable in my situation. Live update had been running...

I have windows xp home, recently did a recovery, my windows update will not scan to recommend putting back sp2, etc. Made sure my auto update was checked. Had to start loading my updates manually for ms website. Any suggestions? Regards, Vidman

Thank so much for the explanation. Regards, Vidman

Thank you,Smah,I have done it![2thumbsup] but my big problem is I had to fool around(not knowing what I did, however it worked!) to 2 items on the window "advanced security settings for protected systems provider" (I checked this one)"inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to...

I had to "restore" my computer, and was re-doing my oe6 and set a password in accounts to "remember password", yet, when I launch oe, it still asks for the pw. When I go in there, the window for the password is empty. I found the fix recommended by MS, and went into "protective storage system...

Gosh, My external hd tech got it to id in the address bar, by typing in the letter of the drive and I could see the contents. But...when I closed and rebooted, opened up my computer, it was not listed, unless,I type in the address bar again. I have also gone into device manager and removed...

Weeelll, I tried switching letters in safe mode from K to J, which was not being used(however K wasn't either) and still not visible. I do appreciate the advice, folks, and the good thing is at least the drive works! I'll keep you posted when MS gets back to me, and thanks again, you folks are...

Bill, I got in touch with MS, and downloaded the patch, unzipped it, and entered their secret password, and rebooted to no avail. I emailed back the techie at MS it did not work, and I am sure he will get back to me soon. I guess, rather than go out and buying a firewire, I will just wait, as...

bcaster, I can now see why you get the top marks..Your're the Man! Thanks, Vidman BTY, There were 2 other fixes that other people suggested, and I would like your feedback on it, before I do the hotfix, as MS was kinda saying don't use this until the next sp comes out. Anyway, this external...

Yes, I have all the service packs up to date,I have disconnected, rebooted and then re-hooked up(no detection), but when I go to disk management, it says the the drive K is healthy. I also looked up the fixes, and it recommended download files I already have installed, nothing in "my computer"...

I have a 250g Simpletech external usb 2.0 hd that I back up my files with. Yesterday, I was looking for it in "my computer" or Windows Explorer,which I have noted before and it was not listed. In device manager it it listed, and when I give the commands to backup, I hear it spin up and it does...

Ok, I hear you folks, and I agree about the security, and crashing, but I just looked up the specs for loading win xp pro vs Win98SE: Minimum specs: Win XP 300mghz Pentium 128mg ram 1.5gig hd space Win 98SE 66mhz 486 24mg ram 260mb hd space The resource requirements are dramatically...

I got an old PIII 450 mhz with 250 mgs of ram at a yard sale and it was loaded with Win XP Pro. I tried to overwrite it with the win 98SE disk, and it asked me to reboot in ms dos mode..How is that done, and then I just type D:\>setup.exe? I am sure there will be a few who are saying why go...

Hey, great advice guys! I got to the Dell web site, and loads of info. Seems like I can go to 20gig without overlay,and I can update to a pentium III processor.Wouldn't I just take out the processor chip and replace it with a Pentium III chip? And, if I change to win98SE I will see a speed...

Just got the above computer at a yard sale with a BX Pentium II 347mhz processor,192 mgs Ram,3D Rage Agp 2x,XP Pro,1.3g hd (this must be an oldie, because of the size of the hd, and I am sure it was not using XPPro!! Fantastic box with pot open hinged access, and a vertical slide in board that...

cheh, as Dakota pointed out my processor is 2gig. I am using pc2100 ddr ram (512 currently). Hd are both 7200, and the external hd is a usb 2.0 250gb. I will ck to see if I have the newest version of Direct X. Thanks for you advice! Millard

Dakota, When you're right you're right..I stand corrected. I was going from memory, and when I printed the stats out, I didn't even check. Thanks for noticing. I am not sure it changes the general recommendation, though..or does it? Regards, Millard
