Windows Service Pack 2 Problem

static

Jan 21 2005, 12:43 AM

I am trying to get the Security Center icon back to my taskbar at the bottom, but I am having problems. When I get to the Security Center in my Control Panel it reads that the Security Center is currently unavaliable because it hasn't been started or stopped. I have also reset my computer but it still reads the same message. How do I start up the Security Center again?

"Note:
If your computer is part of a domain (a group of computers on a network), your security settings are typically managed by your network administrator. In this case, the Security Center does not display your security status or send alerts."

that could be the reason. if it's not i think you could uninstall SP2 and install it again, always works...

Windows Update

Is it really needed for me? (7)

I am now running on Windows XP. I'm confused whether to use and install Windows Updates or not.
My friends and some local IT support said that I do not need them. But many tech site suggests them
to be installed. Here is my situation : I only use this PC to browse internet, download files,
using P2P software, play games and other activity that doesn't require internet. I never use
wireless internet, my PC is not linked to another PC (workgroup). Do I really need Windows Update at
all? Untill now, I never experienced any crash or something without those updates. ....

A Good File Explorer For Windows Xp?

what's a better alternative to explorer (6)

Hi, although it has some useful features and it's (i'd hope so...) well integrated with the
shell, the file explorer that comes with windows xp is not the best we can ask for... so I've
always tried to use various other pieces of softwares randomly found on the net whenever I've
had to intensively work on my file directory... still I haven't found a very good one, all
those I tried have some kind of bug or they are not really user friendly in some occasions... would
anyone suggest a good FREEWARE file explorer? thanks /wink.gif" style="vertical-al....

Get Parallels To Use Existing Windows Xp Installation

(3)

Hi all, I am running a Mac and I have a Windows XP home edition already installed on another
partition via boot camp. Then I ran into Parallels and began installing it. However, instead of
using the existing installation via boot camp, it is asking me to provide a cd key to activate XP. I
couldn't possibly provide a cd key as I already used it to activate. How can I get Parallels to
use the existing installation without asking me to provide another cd key? I gave up and thought of

F-secure Internet Security 2008

My review (0)

F-Secure Internet Security 2008 suite has all the necessary tools to help users defend themselves
from unsavoury elements while surfing the Net. The program comes with various tools such as virus
and spyware scanners, rootkit scanners, anti-spam for email messages, anti-phishing and firewalls.
A pleasant surprise was the option to scan the computer without installing the software: the option
quickly presented itself when I inserted the installation disk into the PC. The program also gets

Windows Media Player 11 Visualization

oddly poor performance (13)

My windows media player 11 has seemed to have developed a problem. Well actulally it has always been
doing this. I am running a P4 (2.8GHz with 512 ram, 64MB vram), and when I try to activate the
visualization in WMP 11 all it is horribly slow and pixelized. I would guess about 5 fps Normally I
would just accept this and keep saving for a new computer but the second that there is something
covering even part of the visualization screen, it ups it's performance. If you put a separate

Windows Media Player 11

(19)

From What I heard about WMP11, Microsoft's original plans for Windows Media Player (WMP)
11--formerly code-named Aurora--were fairly low-key, with just a few minor new features. That's
all changed: Microsoft has canceled Aurora, and the company is moving the Longhorn media player to
XP. Now code-named Polaris, WMP 11 will be a major release. There's just one problem: Instead of
shipping in November, as per the original plan, WMP 11 will now ship in a public beta during that
month, coinciding with Longhorn Beta 2. The final release is roughly scheduled for ear....
