Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) installation: "Access Denied" error

On Senin, 24 November 2008 Diposting oleh Unknown Label: error, sp3, update, windos xp

<div style="text-align: justify;">If you are getting "Access Denied" error during installation of Service Pack 3 (standalone update for Windows XP) it’s probably caused by some kind of permission conflict. To fix this problem, try to close all applications (processes) running on your computer that could potentially protect the system. Applications, such as antivirus, spyware protection tools or any other kind of processes that are keeping the system safe, can limit access to parts of windows registry needed for service pack installation. After closing these applications, try to install <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68c48dad-bc34-40be-8d85-6bb4f56f5110&DisplayLang=en">windows service pack 3</a> update. </div> If the problem persists and your installation is again interrupted by "Access Denied" error, try this: <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li> Download and install SubInACL.exe <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=e</a> </li><li> Copy the text below, paste it in notepad and save it as reset.cmd or you can also download it <a href="http://filex.exofire.net/cms/sites/default/files/reset.cmd">here</a>. </li></ol><div> </div> cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subdirectories %windir%*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose <ol style="margin-top: 0cm;" start="3" type="1"><li> Run reset.cmd you’ve created (this process can take some time). </li><li> Now you can install service pack 3. </li></ol> This guide worked for me and I hope it will do the same for you.

How Safe Is Your Computer ?

On Rabu, 27 Februari 2008 Diposting oleh Unknown Label: adwatre, cleaner, computer, information, registry, security, tips, update

by: Arvind Singh <div style="text-align: justify;">Your computer can be open to attack from different types of spyware. Spyware constitutes those programs that are deliberately lodged in your computer without your approval or knowledge. The only way to escape spyware or at least minimize its effects is to install antispyware software on your pc. If you surf the web, you can be sure that you face the ongoing risk of spyware or adware. It is time you updated your antispyware programs to keep your PC healthy. But first let us briefly examine the most common types of spyware. Gone are the days when viruses were expected only via our email. Now we don't even have to click a link to be infected. All we have to do is browse the Internet, and it's an open invitation to spyware. Spyware constitutes those programs that are deliberately lodged in your computer without your approval or knowledge. You can never live without spyware and adware protection. Types Of Spyware Adware is the worst form of spyware. These programs lay in wait for you to connect to the Internet and then they send you popups that give you all kinds of offers. And while you are thinking how considerate those websites are, these fake popups are actually recording your viewing habits and smuggling them off to marketing companies who sell you junk. Another irritating form of spyware is the browser hijacker. After installing themselves on your PC, they just change your default homepage and search engine. When you start your web browser, you'll find that you are flooded with ads, porn and other stuff you don't want. The scary part of this is that they mine data - which means they report your surfing habits to someone who uses the information unethically. Keyboard loggers are thieves who steal your PIN number when you bank online. They get your passwords. This means, without spyware protection, your personal information and assets can be stolen. Then there are Diallers that enter your PC through a virus infection, adult websites, warez, or even MP3s. A dialler is software that dials numbers at premium rates when you are not around and you end up with bills for thousands of dollars. If you use file-sharing programs, while installing it, spyware also gets installed, unless you read your end user agreements carefully or have antispyware software installed to keep these Trojans away. Imagine having every keystroke recorded, and your private instant messages, emails and other conversations being logged and reported elsewhere without you knowing about it! No - not the best situation to be in! So, never be without spyware protection. Is There Freedom From Spyware? The only way to escape spyware or at least minimize its effects is to install antispyware software on your pc. Some programs just remove the spyware but cannot prevent new spyware from coming into your pc. Get firewall software, if you use broadband or high-speed connections. Avoid clicking on links that promise you free movies, prizes, free software etc. Update your antispyware program and scan your PC regularly.

Keeping Your Computer Safe From Viruses

On Minggu, 10 Februari 2008 Diposting oleh Unknown Label: adware, Bit Defender, download, free antivirus, Kaspersky, malware, McAfee Virusscan, Norton Antivirus, Panda Antivirus, spyware, Trend PC-cillin, update, viruses, worms

By : matth02 <div style="text-align: justify;">To keep your computer safe from the multitude of computer viruses out there, there are several things you should be aware of. Let's examine a few that might just save your computer. Get yourself high-quality virus protection software: If you don't have virus protection software on your computer, you are pretty much leaving yourself open to viruses, spyware, malware, adware, worms, and other devious programs that can eventually lead to the destruction of your files and your computer. And, if you happen to be hit with a highly malicious virus, you can even become the victim of identity theft. A computer virus can literally get on to your computer, record every keystroke you make, and find out all of your passwords, bank account, and charge card information. So if you think that you don't need good virus protection software, ask yourself if ending up with a drained bank account is worth not taking the care to spend a few extra dollars on a virus protection program. What is the best software for virus protection? There are many, many companies that market and sell great virus protection software. Some of the top virus protection software available on the market for the year 2007 includes: The Shield Pro, Bit Defender 9, Norton Antivirus, Kaspersky 5.0, McAfee Virusscan, Trend PC-cillin, and Panda Antivirus. Let's take a look at one of these programs. The Shield Pro, for example, is both an anti-virus and firewall program. (Note that many popular anti-virus software programs come with firewall protection as well.) The Shield Pro is a good program for people who don't know too much about computers or virus protection. This is due to the fact that it is very simple to install and use. It will literally walk the user right through the very short installation process, and explain what is going on. This particular program scans your computer once a week and updates itself just as often. You don't have to remember to run scans with this program, as it does it on its own. If you have a problem getting The Shield Pro to work, it comes with a live help option. The Shield Pro does not take up a lot of space on your hard drive, unlike other popular programs. Therefore, it will not slow down your system to get the virus protection that you need. The importance of updating anti-virus software: It cannot be stressed enough just how important it is to update your anti-virus program. This is because your anti-virus software will only be 100% effective if it is totally up-to-date. Typically, if you purchase anti-virus software, it comes with one year of free updates for virus protection. After your year runs out, you will still have the anti-virus software on your PC, however you will have to purchase additional updates and make sure that you keep them up-to-date! For example, when your year runs out, you can simply purchase service for another year or more. </div> <h4 style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;">About the Author</h4>More <a href="http://ecomputersecurity-today.com/" style="font-style: italic;">Computer Security</a> Articles at http://eComputerSecurity-Today.com.

On Sabtu, 09 Februari 2008 Diposting oleh Unknown Label: computer, dos, firewall, format, hard drive, hardisk, info, repair, spyware, tips, update, virus definition, windows xp

Submitted By: <a class="biggerlink" href="http://www.isnare.com/?s=author&a=Timothy+Scheiman">Timothy Scheiman</a> Sometimes we have no choice when it comes to reformatting your hard drive. Just make sure you understand that all your data will be lost unless you take the time to backup files you do not want to lose. This should only be done as a last resort.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>When should I reformat my hard drive? If your windows files are corrupted beyond repair or you have files missing and all your attempts to repair have failed. If you have a virus and all your attempts at removal has not worked. Another reason would be if your computer is infected with spy-ware to the point you cannot open Internet Explorer or your computer's performance has slowed considerably. Another reason would be if your computer will not finish a successful de-frag<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>Why should I reformat my hard drive? One of the biggest complaints I used to get when working with a clients computer was that it was so slow and it used to be a lot faster. Computers will lose performance over many months of use if it has not been de-fragged, multiple spy-ware infections, multiple virus infections, registry errors, files left after we un-installed programs we are not using. All these factors over time will slow your computer to a crawl. It would be a good idea when your computer is to the point that all your attempts to correct the problems have not improved the situation. If your at this point than its time you make preparations to reload your computer.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>How should I reformat my hard drive?<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>1. Before you can begin to reformat your hard drive you must try to backup any files you may want to keep. Keep in mind if your computer is infected so can the files your backing up be infected. Before you proceed with the backup process separate the files you want to keep into a separate folder. Any folders that contain files you want to keep you can drag and drop those into this folder too.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>2. Run a scan virus and spy-ware on this folder and make sure these files are not infected. Any files that cannot be repaired get rid of them.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>3. You can backup your folder easy if you have CDRW or zip drive. If you have a secondary hard drive you could just drag and drop those files into it. Just make sure you label your folder backup so you can find it easily. Many of you have songs and pictures you want to keep you can backup those too as long as they are clean from infection.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>4. Don't forget to backup your history and bookmarks folder if you do not want to los that information. Take inventory of all items you want to keep and put them in this folder and scan them. This should keep your losses to minimum.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>5. Your computer manufacturer would have given you a restore CD and driver CD. You should have least one of each depending on the manufacturer you may have more than just two. If you cannot find your CD's or they are damaged you can get replacement from your computer manufacturer for nominal fee. It is a good idea when you first take your computer out of the box to put the CD's in a safe place. You can also make backups of them so if they become damaged you don't have to buy replacements.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>6. If your computer came loaded with Windows XP it is very easy to reformat your computer with the CD. Do not copy Windows over Windows always delete the partition when it prompts you and create a new partition. The next step it will ask you to format the drive and it completes these steps easily for you.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>7. It will than run Windows setup and load XP back onto your computer.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>8. If your computer is older and your running Windows 98/ME the process is basically the same except depending on your computer manufacturers restore disk you may have a some different steps. You may be required to reformat your drive with a DOS boot disk. Consult your manual for instructions.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>9. Your computer manufacturer also supplied driver disks and possibly applications disks. Once Windows is loaded you would use your driver disk to load the applicable drivers you need to operate your computer efficiently. Once all your drivers are installed and working correctly you can install any applications.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>10. Your computer manufacturer bundled some trial applications with your computer that the licenses have expired putting those back on at this point is not necessary. You do not have to put on any applications you are not using. If your not using them just save the space for other things.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>11. Now you can put the backup folder you created back on your computer. Once you have accomplished that you can drag and drop the files and folders into their original positions over writing any folders Windows created.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>12. Now you would install your virus and spy-ware program and make sure you can get on the Internet.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>13. Once your on the Internet do not do anything else until you have done all the windows updates. This is critical so you get your browsers security updated. Install any service packs and make sure your Windows firewall is activated.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>14. Run any virus definition updates and spy-ware updates.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>15. This process make take several hours to get everything up and running but it is important that you do this so your computer operates efficiently.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>If you have completed all the steps congratulations you just reloaded your computer and your ready to go. <script type="text/javascript"></script> <div style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;" id="authorbio">About the Author: A+ Certified Technician with many years experience in the Computer Support field. <a href="http://pcxpress.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="http://pcxpress.blogspot.com/">http://pcxpress.blogspot.com/</a></div>
