I've tried it from outside the network (Desktop was behind the router, Laptop connected from somewhere else) and i got the error on Vista that the host has shut down the Remote Assistance program (the phase after the password...

My OS - Vista Ultimate. I don't know if this is the right forum for this question. If not I'm sure someone will be glad to tell me where to go.;-) I am using Windows Defender, SpywareBlaster, Spybot S&D, and AdAware Personal. I use IE 7 and FF 2.0.0.3 (all software is updated daily) When I do a scan w/AdAware, I get 6 entries for: bchat@live365 - tracking cookie - data miner - IE cache entry

As we all know, if you dual-boot XP and Vista, XP's volsnap.sys will delete Vista's restore points and shadow copies. We know the two fixes- hide Vista's partition from XP or if you have Ultimate, BitLocker will protect Vista. I have seen some users suggest using TweakUI to hide Vista's partition. An MVP has this posted on his website as an option. I have seen this posted in on several...

OK....user has a SONY Vaio laptop running Vista Business.....was able to connect and join the domain (running on an NT4 Server)...... Now, however, when I reboot the laptop, it will not retain my mapped drive (connected to the network).

In CNG, "Microsoft SSL Procotol Provider" supports 24 cryptography methods(ex, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, ...) and IE(Internet Exploer) uses them for security connection(https). Then, I wanna add another cryptography methods at SSL. But, I couldn't add those methods to "Microsoft SSL Procotol Provider" since it's suported by ncrypt.dll in MS. So, I may make a new provider for adding another...

Hey All, The subject says it all. I disabled the SCS as soon as I installed Vista because, quite frankly, I find it annoying. However, in trying to fix another program (see my thread in Networking), I tried to restart the service and it says "This service cannot be started." It's no more helpful than that. Anyone have a clue?

Vista Home Premium... Sorry if my ignorance of Vista security etc. makes these sound like very dumb questions... Defender persistently blocks at startup a number of applications* I trust (I can run them OK manually, but more about that in a moment). Because there is no "Alert" dialog (just the balloon notification about blocked items) I cannot add these programs to the Allowed list.

Hi I'm using Vista home premium, upgraded to ultimate. No previous versions are listed for files or folders. manual & automatic restore points are being created. Full restore works, but nothing is listed for previous versions NTFS disc, 81Gb free, VSS service running Any ideas Thanks Clive

My account is set up as the admin. when I get a yahoo email with a pic attached, I click to download and open, get a security message from windows and click ok, and the file opens just fine. When my wife tries to do the same, she clicks the message in yahoo, gets the windows prompt to 'open' or 'save' and then when clicking either one, nothing happens. Thoughts?

Hello I have a DCOM server up and running on a machine with XP. I can connect to this server from another XP machine without any problems (running a DCOM client). I have callbacks working as well. The problem comes when I run the client on a Vista machine and try to connect to the same DCOM server on the XP machine. I tried a lot of settings with DCOMCNFG I also switched off the firewall on...

Hello, i have studied CNG for adding new crypto algorithm. In Beta SDK Ver., there're functions for adding new crypto alg. (BcryptRegistered Provider(), BcryptAddContextFunctionProvider(), and etc). But, present SDK Ver. hasn't these functions. Moreover, there aren't related contents (Adding new crypto alg.) in MSDN.

If I go to User Accounts | Change your picture, no matter what I choose, either one of the other silly pictures, or any picture from my...

When User Account Control (UAC) is disabled and a Standard user (non Admin) clicks on the Resource Monitor button in Task Manager, the system goes into an endless loop trying to launch perfmon.exe No error is displayed. (I usually use Windows as a Standard non-admin user and therefore I disable UAC) The Resource Monitor button is on the Task Manager's Performance tab. Admin users can always...

I recently completed setup of my Public Profile using the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. While I don't think its critical, I'm hoping that its really just me not doing something right. Here are the steps: 1) Open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (wf.msc). 2) Start a new Custom rule. 3) Select svchost.exe as the application (it may impact other apps, but this is the one I...

Hi, I am currently shopping for a laptop and would like to use Bitlocker with the TPM 1.2 chip vice a USB thumbdrive. Any suggestions from readers of this forum would be greatly appreciated.

I have been recently having an annoying problem with the firewall on Vista, everytime I trun on my computer, I have to go in and enable the firewall. everytime, how do I keep it constanly on?

I'm trying to set up security on a new laptop (Windows XP). I checked the security centre and the firewall was already set up. However I then installed Norton and used its firewall. Now I'm experiencing problems connecting to the internet - I keep losing connection and I think this may be because I've loaded on a new firewall when the windows firewall was enabled. I now cant get access to...
