Subject: XP: System Restore Not Working
I have lots of suggestions but are you saying that the Task Scheduler is
disabled? It should be enabled. To check, click Start>Run>type
services.msc>hit Enter>look for Task Scheduler in the list and make sure it
is set to Automatic under the Startup Type column. If it is not, rightclick
Task Scheduler, choose Properties>General tab>set Startup Type to
Automatic>click OK. You might have to reboot. Then test the system.
A question for you: can you manually create a restore point? Can you
populate the System Restore Calendar?
Before I bombard you with suggestions, please answer the above first then I
will proceed when necessary.

Subject: System Restore
It's important to note that Task Scheduler must be active for a daily
restore point to be automatically created by XP.
FROM BOOTDISK.COM NEWSLETTER The optimization of prefetch at regular
intervals is initiated by task scheduler so you need to have it running for
this to work
***(also for System Restore to make its daily restore point)***
even though no scheduled task appears if you look in control Panel
-Scheduled tasks.
Check the Advanced menu there, and if it says 'Start Using. . ' click that
so it says 'Stop using . . .' It then looks for a time when the system is
quiescent (I think it waits for 15 mins of no disk activity, but am not
sure on that). This is one reason for the query 'my hard disk goes
chattering when I am doing nothing'; the other being search engine
indexing. END BOOTDISK INFO

Subject: Re: windows 2000 problem
You said, "afterwards i have to re install xp."
Why did you do that? Were you having any problems and if so, what symptoms
or signs of the problems were you getting. If you are getting error
messages, copy the exact word-for-word error message and post it here.
You said, "when i start 2000 it starts well after windows explorer is not
coming."
I do not exactly understand what you are trying to say here but let me
rephrase it for you and tell me if I am interpreting what you said right or
not:
Are you saying that when you launch Win2000, Windows Explorer won't open
when you try to open it?
You also said, "no desktop is there. no rightclick. no start menu."
Are you saying that there are no icons on your desktop and all you have is
an empty desktop?
No rightclick menu either when you rightclick any files?
And no Start menu when you click the Start button?
Is that exactly your situation? Are all of these happening only in Win2000
or both Win2000 and XP?
Is your XP working normally?

It seems that there are no plans to create an XP version for your RAID

Subject: Where can I get a GOOD printer ???
My Lexmark Z65P Inkjet printer malfunctioned last night. I purchased
it on 1/11/03. When I contacted Lexmark Support I was told by their
their support technician that my printer was finished ans I would have
to get another one. I think that is what the non-English speaking tech
guy said. I didn't speak Indian and he didn't speak much English. I
just realized that this printer is about 2 years and 14 momths old. I
remembered that I had not gotten 3 years out of any of my printers and
all had been Lexmarks. Is it possible to get a printer that will last
longer than 3 years? I would think that after me spending a small
fortune each year on ink refill cartridges that Lexmark would want to
keep me in a good ink-drinking printer. Does have any suggestions for
a better result? Disgusted Bobby

I feel your pain;
I have an HP photosmart that was working fine until I had to do a
complete system restoration to factory settings. Then it wouldn't
recognize that it was hoked to my computer through a good USB port, and,
to a power source. This no matter if I tried to do it manually, or,
through the printer's software (obtained through the HP web site.)After
a number of emails back and forth I gave up, and, installed a different
a printer, which works.

Subject: Re: Where can I get a GOOD printer ???
I don't know why you're disgusted; you've gotten good life out of the
printers you've had. And color inkjets are designed to be ink suckers,
'cause that's where the money is. Lexmark makes money selling you the
ink, not the printer.
If you want long life, get a black and white laser printer. I've had
very good luck with older HP models. They're not fast or fancy but
they're durable and they always seem to print. The latest good printer
like that from HP is the model 1320, which goes for $299 after rebate.
There is also a networkable model, the 1320n.
For color prints, I've used HP with good results, although the printers
have been mostly used ones I've cleaned up, not purchased. I just
bought a Canon Pixma i4000 for my wife and it has a feature that we have
looked for in other printers we've bought new and that is individual ink
tanks and a separate print head. That way, if you run out of red (a
common occurance), you can just go and buy a red tank and replace it.
Each color and the small black tank are $11.95; the larger black tank is
$13.95.
When buying a printer, I never look at the cost of the printer, I look
at the cost of the ink and how it's divided up; single 3 color cartridge
or individual ink tanks. Not throwing away good ink just because you've
run out of one color seems to be the way to go. And so far, that Canon
has good print quality.

I've never used Lexmark.
My HP2100 (B&W Laser) is still going strong. I've lost track of when I
bought it, but I'm pretty sure it was more than 4 years ago. For color, I
have a Minolta laser, but it's much newer and somewhat finicky.

Bobby,
You could buy more expensive printers. You initial cost will be high but
then ink will not be that costly. You could buy a laser printer but I don't
know how long those lasts.
I am partial to Epson. They last, but they are by no means, cheap. Also,
they are the best for printing pictures and graphics. Depending on the
Epson model, you don't need a computer to print your pictures and you can
print pictures by just using film negatives but who uses films these days.
It seems like most people I know are just using digital cameras now. Also,
some of the Epson printers uses 6 cartridges but they do not cost $40 or
$50 each. I think they cost around $13 to $15 only. Also an advantage is
you don't have to replace all the cartridges when only one cartridge is low
on ink like some other printers. You can replace them singly. Of course it
all depends on the Epson model you buy so ask the salesman details of what
you are buying or read up on the model on the internet. Last Christmas, we
bought an Epson. The whole package cost us close to $500, including
supplies, I think. We bought an all-in-one. Not a lot of people are willing
to spend that much on a printer. I'm
sure the cost of what we bought is much lower now.

Subject: WinXP: System Restore not creating System Checkpoints
Hey Rich, I'd like to add this to the MCH Forums Library if I can get your
permission. Here is my contribution to this thread:
PROBLEM: WinXP's System Restore is not creating System Checkpoints
In addition to what Rich suggested, here are a few other suggestions that
you might consider:
A. Take a look at these MS articles:
Troubleshooting System Restore in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=3D302796
System Restore FAQ:

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/SysRestorePoint.zip
Single Click Creation of a System Restore Point/Runs as a Scheduled Task
This is a small VB utility that will allow you to create a System Restore
Point, with no user intervention.
How to use:
Download and extract the contents to its own folder on your hard drive.
Create a shortcut to the SysRestorePoint.exe that you extracted. For easy
access, you can put the shortcut in your Start Menu, on your Desktop or
even your Quick Launch bar. To auto-run this utility at bootup, simply
place a shortcut here:
Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder
The RPs (restore points) created will be listed as "Automatic Restore
Point". If a Restore Point could NOT be created for some reason, you will
be notified.

Rich S <heavy_60538@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Typical reasons why checkpoints are not being created:
=95 System Restore requires Task Scheduler to create system checkpoints. If
Task Scheduler is disabled it will prevent System Restore from creating
system checkpoints on a scheduled basis.
=95 System Restore requires the computer to be in an idle state to create
system checkpoints. This is by design so that System Restore does not
interrupt a user by taking processing power. If computer is never idle,
system checkpoints cannot be created. Also, check for any applications that
run on the computer during idle periods, such as a virus scanner.
=95 Another cause may be that the computer is in continual use for limited
periods and then shut down or put into hibernation, preventing System
Restore from creating restore points.
=95 Must have 400MB minimum set for cache.
There are many, many reasons why a System Restore may fail. For example,
see "Why are previous restore points not working?" in the "Troubleshooting"
section of this official Microsoft page:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/plan/faqsrwxp.ms px
There's lots more on that page that's worth reading too. Note especially
the sections on "Does System Restore protect personal data files?" (the
short answer: no); "What should I do if System Restore does not work?";
"Why are my restore points missing or deleted?"; "Why does the System
Restore Wizard lockup?"; and so on. Just a few minutes on that page ought
to convince just about anyone that System Restore is not intended for
heavy-duty system protection!
More info:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_restore.htm
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/WinME/Q_20718080.html
http://www.google.com/search?q=3D=3Dsystem+restore+fail
Some people have never gotten Auto Restore Points to work on their
system.Some,like you,have had them stop working.It can be a real head
scratcher,and is sometimes debated long into the wee hours of the night.
To date,there is no definitive answer as to why this happens,not even from
Microsoft.They throw up a smokescreen of obfuscation with a thousand
possibilities,but no answer. Try all the suggestions mentioned in the links
listed above.Mabe you'll get lucky; Or mabe you'll have to manually make

With the System Restore ENABLED, if your computer is working normally, you
can create a RESTORE POINT (by launching it and choosing "Create a restore
point" radio click the Next enter a name for the Restore Point (anything
you like)>Create button) and you can go to the System Restore Calendar and
see that RESTORE POINT that you created as named. It will also be signified
by a bold calendar date on the System Restore Calendar. Can you do that or
does System Restore not show the RESTORE POINT that you create manually on
the Calendar?

Netscape ready to launch antiphishing browser
From WinBeta
New Netscape 8 will alert surfers when they visit a site that's known to be
malicious.
Netscape is expected to release on Thursday the final version of Netscape
8, a Web browser, based on Firefox, designed to protect users against
online scams such as phishing.
Netscape has promised that the final version, like the previous ones, will
include features to better safeguard systems while people surf the Web.
Netscape 8 is also expected to have a cleaner look and feel, but not to be
dramatically different from the public beta released in March. Early test
versions of the new browser have already been available since February.
In the most recent test version, the Netscape 8 browser automatically
adjusts security settings based on a list of known malicious Web sites to
protect users from phishing scams. The blacklist of Web sites that are
suspected of hosting spyware or phishing schemes will be updated regularly,
Netscape has said.
When someone visits a Web site, red and green check marks in the browser
tab will show them whether the site is known to be dangerous or safe.
Are Phishing Holes Drying Up?
From WinBeta
PC security software maker Webroot recently released its first annual
State of Spyware report, which reports on and analyzes trends in spyware.
So far, the numbers look promising. Overall spyware infections dropped 2
percent, and overall phishing activity is either holding or declining. This
may seems like good news, but when looking at the 'big picture', it is
little more than a drop in the bucket.
One Third of All Software in Use Still Pirated, Major Study Finds
From: http://bink.nu/Home.bink
PRNewswire/ -- Thirty-five percent of the software installed on personal
computers worldwide was pirated in 2004, a one percentage point decrease
from 36 percent in 2003. Yet, losses due to piracy increased from $29

today by the Business Software Alliance (BSA), the international
association of the world's leading software developers. The independent
study, which indicates that software piracy continues to be a major
challenge worldwide, was conducted by global technology research leader=
IDC.
Microsoft to flash Windows ID cards
From: http://bink.nu/Home.bink

preview of the software, code-named InfoCard, by the end of May, Microsoft
said. It will also include other technologies designed to make using
digital identities easier and safer, Microsoft's senior executive in charge
of security, Mike Nash, said Tuesday.

If the problem persists, try disabling your antivirus specially if you are
