I have one computer that dual boots into Vista. The Windows XP side of that computer and every WinXP computer, wireless or wired, on that network has no trouble receiving streaming internet media without interruptions. However on Vista it is rare that a connection can be maintained for more than ten minutes without an extensive time out for rebuffering. This happens regardless of the media player (WMP, I tunes, Real Player etc) or the type of media (audio or video) or the internet source of the streaming media. In fact at this very minute a WinXP wireless machine is streaming internet audio without a hitch while I am watching Windows Media Player rebuffer f…

Hi, Daily I have to reboot to clear my Win 16 Subsystem registors or memory so I can run certain dos based programs on Windows XP SP2. Is there a way to clear or free up this memory or registors without having to close all programs and reboot my machine. Help on this would be appreciated. Thanks! Tmarauder

A program on my Vista Home Premium called " searchfilterhost.exe " tried to get from my machine to an IP of 224.0.0.252 which I've identified as the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) in Marina Del Rey, CA. Why would this program attempt to reach that agency and what is this program used by Vista to do? Jim

Hey, on my computer (winxp pro, no domain) local policy keep clearning out users. The policy is: Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Access this computer from the network. The system keeps removing all users so I cannot access the computer from the network. I did a policy audit and it appears to be that the computer account computername$ removes policy users. Is there a way to know what process initializes this? Or a way to stop it? Bugs me every time I have to add users back in order to access the computer. Anybody have any ideas?
