Sometimes, I get the a "general protection error" running the 4.32 no-cd Anyone recognize this?

Hi all, me and my friend would like to set up some sort of remote connection for me to control his PC. He has an apartment in town, a couple of miles from here, but he is not there very much (lives with his girlfriend right now on another location) So, we would like for me to somehow log in to his PC and control it from here. I would like to be able to start/restart it, browse his system, the internet and also download from the internet (since he has a much faster connection than me). You get the picture right? We both use winXP pro / ADSL connection so we were thinking of trying Remote Assistance, but we're not sure if that'll work. There is another program that we would like to try if RA does not work. The program is VNC ( http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html ) So to my question, does anyone know if this is possible and if so, with which program? Maybe there are other and better programs for this type of setup? Thanks for any tips /Drem

Quote: I use pcAnywhere 10.5 and control 19 machines over 3 networks. I think it is the better of the programs I have used in the past. There are lots of features like remote printing, NAT and background servicing. How much delay do you have? Is 1-2 seconds normal?

Thanks for the tips guys. We tried today using Symantec PCAnywhere. Setup and connection is very easily setup, but I think it is somewhat slow. I don't know if the other programs are faster, but right now, there is maybe 1-2 second delay time before something happens. Is that "OK" or should I try another program? [Remote]My setup: winXPpro, 1200Mhz cpu, 512mb sdram, 110gb ata-100, 0,5Mbit ADSL [Host]His setup: winXPpro, 1600Mhz cpu, 512mb ddram, 40gb ata-100, 2,5Mbit ADSL Also, and most importantly, I want to be able to turn off his computer and start it at a later time. As of now I can only restart/turn off the computer but not start it from zero so to speak. Does it have anything to do with Wake-On-Lan capabilities on his computer? We want to have this option because the past weeks have had a few storms here and he doesn't want his computer online when the thunder is rumbling which is quite understandable

Thanks for the info. I also heard of a program called "PC Anywhere". Anyone tried it?

For example, when I want to transfer a large file (400-800Mb) from one partition to another, or when I extract a big file of the CDrom, XP starts eating away at the RAM. Soon it's down to nothing RAM and it recovers some, but soon it's zero again. During this point the computer is very slow and shuggy. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this annoying problem? Don't say "get more RAM" now There is 512Mb of RAM. I use the latest VIA 4-1s and all the HDDs operate through the HPT370 ATA100 controller. HDDs are ATA100s and one ATA66. Thanks for any tips.

I can't use Windows Update. I enter the site and it tells me: New Windows Update Software Required The Windows Update site has been updated. To update your version of the software and begin using Windows Update, click Update Now ok, so I click Update Now.... Software Update Incomplete The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some suggestions to help you proceed: You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust Certificate. To allow the Windows Update site software to install, click Yes when presented with the Security Warning dialog box. Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To install the updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer security must be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled. Note These are the default settings for Internet Explorer. For more information about Internet Explorer security and instructions on how to change your security settings, read Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) Article Q174360. Were these suggestions helpful? Send us your feedback. Now I have tried millions of security settings in Internet Explorer and the Firewall. I set everything to it's absolut lowest security, but it still doesn't work. Im ripping my hair out any minute now. PS. About the trust certificate that was presented upon entering the Windows Update site, I think I clicked YES and Im almost certain I did I must have, since it doesn't show up anymore. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong here? thanks for any input

I noticed something funny. If I create another user with administrative rights and log on to that profile, Windows Update works just fine. Hmmm.

Quote: Hey, dunno if this is the right forum, but I'll give it a try at least. I'm having some problems with TvTool 5.5.2 on Windows XP Pro, using a nVidia GeForce 2 mx card with the CH700x TV chip. The problem is, I want to play an interlaced DVD on my tv, but I can't enable the "Non-Interlace" option in TvTool, since it's greyed out. Does anyone know why I get that, and/or how to fix it? Thanks. You should try a newer revision of the TvTool software. This is what the website says: "Version 5.5.3 is uploaded. Now TVTool should work properly with the TV chip CH7003. Also the switching back to monitor mode should work now under 2000 and XP under all conditions" http://www.tvtool.de/index_e.htm

Recently, out of the blue, this problem occured. (LINKS don't seem to work by clicking, please cut and paste into the address field) hem.passagen.se/nicomaster/temp/error.JPG In this menu, when I left-click "User Accounts", I get this error: hem.passagen.se/nicomaster/temp/error2.JPG Does anyone know which program opens it? It's a silly problem but I still want it sorted. Thanks for any help

Quote: nursmgr.cpl is the User Manager Control Panel file - there is no application that opens it, it's part of Explorer! If you can open it from the control panel, there's no (logical) reason why you couldn't open it by clicking the link. Rgds AndyF That's what puts a big questionmark above my head It's a really weird problem.

Quote: Do you receive this error when you access the User Accounts through the Control Panel? If so, you can either run a repair by booting from the XP CD or extract it from the .CAB file on the CD. No, the User Acccounts shortcut in the Control Panel works fine. There is no problem with the program itself. Somehow the link from the menu (from where it doesn't work) have disappeared. If I knew which program actually opens the "nursmgr.cpl" file I could browse my way to that program and fix the shortcut.

I got this IRQ problem when I set timings too high for the memory in the bios.

This is driving me crazy. All of a sudden, often when I boot into windows the graphics is set to 4bit color and 800x600. When I check the display properties is says "Default monitor on" In the device manager the GF3 card says "is unable to start - Code 10" From there it can be time consuming to get it back to normal. Some times the "roll back driver" works, sometimes uninstalling the GF3 through device manager and reinstalling works. This is so weird, it just looses the card out of the blue sometimes. I've tried Nvidia Detonators 23.11 and 21.85 but the same thing happens. Maybe every 5th reboot result in the same 4bit color - graphiccard and monitor gone thingy. Some more info: Abit KT7A-R w 300W PS KT7A bios ZT (bios set to primary display - AGP) 4 HDD through HPT370 controller Leadtek GF3 TD Nvidia 23.11 (currently 21.85) Default winXP dx8.1 drivers Nvidia Refreshrate fix put to monitor maximum supported. VIA 4-1 4.37a This has been going on for about a week now, never happened before. Thanks for any tips.

Why is the winXP search-function (Start-button/Search) so very much slower than previous windows? Is there somehow I can speed it up? thx

Quote: If you look at the bottom on the search dialog panel, you should see a selection to turn on file-indexing. This will speed up file searches quite a bit. I'll try that, thanks.

Every time I use Hotmail, the windows Messenger appears in the taskbar. Is there somehow I can prevent it from opening?

Quote: Do you have an MSN account? Do you have a .Net account or Passport with automatic logon enabled? None of the above. I don't use Outlook Express either, I just log in normally through the browser. I would rather not tamper with "hacks" to remove it. It must be do-able through regular setup....somewhere?

Thanks! Edit: Went through the Messenger options and Outlook Express options to turn off everything but it still pops up when I open Hotmail

In win2000 I always made a repair floppy which was a very nice thing. Where is this option in winXP Pro? Also, when entering dos installation menu (with the options Install/Repair etc) there is no "repair with repair diskette" but only "repair using recovery console" I need a diskette that fixes my bootrecords because I'm going to format C: (winME) where all the XP bootfiles are (ntldr, ntdetect, boot.ini etc). winXP Pro is on D: thanks for any tips

I thought so too, but it still doesn't work. It works fine in winME though, I have the same firewall settings there.

I'm wondering if anyone have a good solution to my problem. I want to get rid of my dualboot. This is the setup: 15Gb C:\ winME (crap, I want it out. Only kept it for games anyway) 15Gb D:\ winXP 15-25Gb E:\ F:\ G:\ H:\ just stuff If I delete C:\ obviously I won't be able to boot anything, but isnt there some simple solution to change the bootrecord or something? Just putting all bootfiles like boot.ini/ntldr/ntdetect etc on the D:\ drive isn't enough. In win2000 I could make a repair disk and fix it, but I haven't yet found the same setup for a repairdisk as in win2000. The ideal thing would be a little DOS-program that searched all the disks and fixed it automatically. It's early in the morning here, I'm not quite myself yet so please excuse me if there are typos or anything in here thanks

Quote: Just use norton ghost Personal Edition and do a "Partition to Partition" copy. Unfortunately I dont have Norton Ghost. Is there a shareware version available? If I use it, does it also fix the MBR and bootmenu?

Let me just clarify the setup: Disk0: 6Gb F:\ (active) Disk1: 60Gb C:\15Gb (system) D:\15Gb (boot) E:\30Gb Disk2: 30Gb G:\ Disk3: 13Gb H:\
