Maybe you need a motherboard BIOS upgrade or rollback the processor driver: Specific Issue - Prescott Processors and XP-SP2 xp service pack 2 slow down

That cache will probably disappear over time, so if the info is important to you, then you should save it some where.

(*Update* Found a Thread, seems to be a touchy subject) Most of the network stuff described was taken from these pages: TCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows XP (Q314053) HOW TO: Harden the TCP/IP Stack Against Denial of Service Attacks in Windows Server 2003 (Q324270) Microsoft Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP Implementation Details The AlecStar/APK Homepage is still up.

Happy new year ! A suggestion for the color theme on the front page: - Instead of only carrying a visible header for the day (Border with background-color), then there should be a visible header for each news-item (Especially since the font-color for the news-item is the same of a normal link, making everything flow into each other). A suggestion for the color theme when looking at a forum thread: - It would be nice with a more clear border between posts. Light blue background and white border doesn't create that good a contrast. -Rolf P.S. Where is that email-notification option ?

Seems only active WebDAV connections are listed there, guess you have to find out what is making the connection (Spyware?) http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_dewey/archive/2004/01/19/60356.aspx

Instead of using a 3rd party application, then one can also consider using the /BOOTLOGO option in the BOOT.INI (Must be used with /NOGUIBOOT) Bootlogo boot.ini switch

Sounds excellent, the e-mail notification will be a good addition.

Maybe this registry tweak will do it for ya: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Control \ContentIndex] FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions = 1 (Default = 0) Configure the file search to include all files

The obvious solutions: 1. Install the proper chipset drivers for the motherboard. 2. Update the motherboard firmware, and load BIOS defaults 3. Make sure the SB Live! doesn't share IRQ with other devices (See at BIOS POST) 4. Update Creative Drivers (Have good succes by installing the 5.12.1.3521 WHQL and then install the Unified 5.12.1.252.WHQL) 5. Check for ghost devices in the Device Manager More Info

A firewall is probably activated on the laptops.

Maybe you could use Audit to see what files/folders/registry keys the user needs to have access to the printer . By enabling audit for the user and then let the user print a page, then the Event Log should show what files/folders/registry keys the user failed to get access to. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q310399 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q300549

Couldn't the "Search Google"-item get the same options as the "Site Search"-item (Web, NT, Linux). While keeping it placed just below the "Search Forum"-item, along with a small comment in the "Search Forum"-item that one might consider using the "Search Google"-item for searching the forum. This should only be a temporary solution until the forum-search is up and running properly. Ex. when searching for "userinit" with the forum-search then fewer matches are found than with google.

Have found out that one can reset the bootexecute-entry (Without using the registry-editor) by executing this command: Quote: CHKNTFS /D
