what did I do wrong importing a power scheme?
by Guest SlickRCBD- 0 replies
- 210 views
I asked this on the other Microsoft forum and got a cop out of "go ask over here", so I'm reposting it here. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-hardware/what-did-i-do-wrong-importing-a-power-scheme/0cdab994-a035-4c22-9cde-9b775ecb2686#last The user "swestee" asked me to create a new time in the available power schemes. I wanted to see if I could automate copying power profiles using the import and export and eventually a batch file, and used this as a test case after having her put a temporary password on her account for me. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. What did I do wrong? Please note that any future attempts will be made with …

Internet Explorer Usage Share Is On the Rise in 2012
by Guest Paul Thurrott- 0 replies
- 77 views
By Paul Thurrott After leveling off at about 50 percent usage share late last year, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has been on an upward trend, thwarting early attempts to write the browser’s obituary. In March, overall usage in IE grew yet again, and while the gains are minor, they come at the expense of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, both of which have--gasp--dropped off in recent months.

Solution to problems with MSE Virus and Spyware Updates
by Guest MSESupport- 0 replies
- 164 views
Hi, Recently I experienced problems with Virus and Spyware Updates with Microsoft Security Essentials. Basically MSE did not update and the Microsoft Update History showed wrong dates (day and month) of MSE updates. While carefully monitoring my windows set up after the winter to summer change of time on weekend of 24-25th March, I realised the date on my Windows system was incorrectly assigned. Entering the correct date into Windows system in the left bottom Date and Time Properties window, did allow MSE updates perform correctly and the whole protection system with MSE is now running smoothly to afford essential protection. Take care Continue reading...

Interesting article in this mornings news... Doc Microsoft prevents downloading malware. Hackers launch lawsuit for right to distribute their products. April 1, 2012 Washington, DC By Jonathan Dough United Associates News Desk In an unusual Saturday meeting, a consortium of “hackers” met yesterday with the FTC and DOJ to file a lawsuit, alleging Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Security Essentials anti-malware product for consumers is so thorough that it does not allow them the ability to easily infect unsuspecting user’s PCs with worms, Trojans, viruses, root-kits, spyware, or malicious scripts.

Stored User Names and Passwords in User Accounts are getting deleted after reboots
by Guest AntonioJ- 0 replies
- 210 views
For a couple of years, users have successfully used "Stored User Names and Passwords" in User Accounts to store server names and corresponding user sign-on credentials. For about the last three weeks, more and more users across the enterprise are beginning to report that after a system reboot, all credentials stored in "Stored User Names and Passwords" have been deleted. These values persist while the user is logged on but after reboot, they are gone. I'm also affected and all users clients are running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 (and some Service Pack 2), IE7 and IE8 users. I have checked the Local Security Settings using Secpol.msc and "Network access: Do not …
