Thx for the quick response! I do understand that NT 4.0 is old and the systems (work puters) will be replaced soon. It is a very primative enviroment for most that post here but until now has been the backbone of the office here. Thx again for the help and hope they don't buy a bunch of HP's. 8)

I have 2 "hot fixes" that will not install through the normal windows update and when given the "Setup Canceled" window it lists the following Q numbers. Q318138 Q323172 When I went to MS site to see (google search) what they are and how to install them it I didn't find a how to for NT, only 2000. Can I run these 2000 fixes on a NT box? Yes I'm fighting a virus/worm.

To update this thread... I tried to run the Connection Wizard and it was a no go. I called SBC/Yahoo tech support up and there is a compact version of there connect manager on the CD. So if anybody else is like me (nOob) and doesn't want all the craptastic stuff that comes along with the install then call up tech support and I'm sure they can help out with a no overhead ADSL connection. With there connection manager my duel CPU 1.25GHz Tullie box (1 GIG Ram) was hanging around 40% CPU Usage in the "performance" tab of the Task Manager at idle, now it is at 5% without there connection manager. That is alot of overhead and I won't go into a rant about "Why do they find it necessary" this time...again.

Jerry I shall pull my head out of my arse now. I should have known that and I thank you for helping me.

I just got SBC/Yahoo DSL and after installing their software I found that Yahoo has their fingers everywhere in my system. BLAWK! Without going into a "Why do they find it necessary" rant could someone point me in the right direction for a low overhead connection manager? I am a nOob so I would like something that is easy to use. I would think that XP would have the DSL version of the dail-up connection thingie. I did do a search on these forums using the key words "connection manager" and nothing really came back to answer this so I'm lead to believe that this has never been asked before or is so elementary as to be a dumb question. I thank you in advance for your help and time.

I found out what it was. It was the Intel LanDesk App conflicting with XP. Thanks for your time Wizard.

I haven't been here in awhile but like the new look. Very soft on these old eyes.

Greetings everyone I have just finished a freash install of XP Pro and keep getting an error that windows can't start the above exe. I have done a google, MS, NTComp, 2CPU search with only one reference (German forum). Any help with this problem would be appriciated. I thank you in advance for your help.

Brain I pretty much do a "search for" and get the answers i need, also I stalk another forum called 2CPU.com that answers alot of my questions. I like books also and the "help section" of windows works well too. I find I learn better with the above method, and come here for links to web sites. That is a god send for you all to post them here. I meant no offence Brian, just making an observation. I am a little clumsy sometimes with my words and I have a dry sense of humour also which is not a real good combination...all the time.

well Lets see what can be done to spark some "input".

Is it me or my puter? or are there not so many questions being posted? maybe my cookie thing isn't set right?

Did you guys ever get that worked out? just being nosey

$150 and i live in Indiana

I knew there wouldn't be enough info.....sry I'll be running XP Pro with nero 5.5 and an Adaptec AHA-2940/2940U. i checked the card out and found that it is supported by everything from 95 to XP (up to date drivers not withstanding). i will check out nero's, adaptec's and Microsoft's site for compatibility. I imagine that the devices will have to be compatible with all 3??? why are there standards??(rhetorical) thx Sampson for your help ZEHN

hello everyone i picked up a scsi cdrom tower (7 drives) at an auction that has a centronics-50 connector on the back and would like to replace two of the drives with a burner and a more modern cd-rom. could a HDD be put in also? i don't see why i can't but thought it a good idea to see what you all had to say about it, i am new to scsi and any help would be much appreciated. thx for your time ZEHN
