I am running Windows XP Pro on my home PC. When I am at the office, everyone in my house are using this computer for various purposes. I never locked my computer due to general use of my family member. Internet is available in my computer, but the problem is when I am not at home some of my family members use untrusted websites for downloading. And this download is also unnecessary and contains adult contents. So I want to stop this type of download. How can it possible without locking the  administrative user?

In my office one of user who use windows XP professional.

I configure him as a normal user, he always login by this user. I set administrative password that he never do any administrative work. Due to some software installation I gave him user as administrative right.in that times he may be change administrator password. 

I don’t know this, so after I have removed his user from administrative group, I can’t do any administrative works. 

He told me he did not change administrator password.

But it has been changed. 

So how can I remove administrator password without reinstallation windows?

I am running XP Pro Service Pack 2 and the shutdown time it taking quite a long time, about 2 minutes or even more. This is quite annoying when you have to reboot. It’s wasting a lot of my precious time.

I recently updated drivers for my sound and video card. Blue screen problems started to appear immediately but i resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. When i try to shut down the computer, it takes a longer time than usual. Even when i have just started the PC and shut it down immediately, the shut down time is not less than 30 seconds.

Basically, i use 3 applications frequently. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrate and Adobe Go-Live. I have also noted the following:

What to do with a windows XP problem?

Today, I'm using a Windows XP and when I booted up my computer, I did not have a taskbar.

And I also could not copy, paste, or drag any files.

I eventually got the taskbar to come up, but it was still having problems, so I rebooted it again.

My computer is also not playing any sound but its not muted.

What happen to my computer?

Is there any problem with my operating system?

What should I do to fix this kind of problem with my computer?

Can anyone help me please. 

Thank you!

I am having trouble downloading updates on my Toshiba laptop. It has Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 32Bit Operating System installed on it. I have set my updates automatically.

But every time the updates start, I don't receive any errors that it failed to download some important updates like upgrading to Service Pack 2. I am using my laptop for almost a year now and yet I am still running Service Pack 1. I have lots of free space on my memory. My RAM is 2.00GB while my hard disk has 300GB spaces.

Sometimes I feel to shut down computer immediately but the normal way to shut down computer is not happened immediately.

It takes time.

I am using Windows XP operating system.

Is there any way to shut down computer immediately?

I can pull out the plug or hold the power key but as per as I know it is harmful for computer hardware.

So is there any other way which is not harmful for computer.

Tell me if you know any.

Hi,

I am using the new Vista Home Premium. I keep on getting “rundll32 “ errors when navigating through different files and applications. I cannot connect to the internet either. Maybe the problem seems to be rising from an update for the new Explorer. Whenever i try to connect to the net, this message pops up "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I installed Windows 7 today. After I installed it I updated it in the Internet and I am trying to install some necessary software. But it does not accept installation. I was listening to some music & it stopped abruptly. I thought it is a common factor so, I restarted it and tried to work again but there is still the same problem. I lost my temperament and set again the operating system. Now it has improved slightly.

I installed Avast Internet Security but the same does not open.

Realtek High Definition Audio Software was also installed & it is working but I am having problems with Antivirus. I also tried to install Kaspersky. Does not work.

Now what should I do? Do I format Windows?
