I get the following event ID preodically and havent been able to stay online for more than 5 hours. Either i get kicked off the net and a dialup comes. (using a USB adsl modem, speedtouch to be exact). Or sometimes i get an IRQL not equal bull**** for usbport...

Event Type:	Error
Event Source:	DCOM
Event Category:	None
Event ID:	10005
Date:  17-Sep-04
Time:  4:46:30 PM
User:  NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:	
Description:
DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to start the service upnphost with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{204810B9-73B2-11D4-BF42-00B0D0118B56}

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

No useful leads found.. dont know what 204810B9-73B2-11D4-BF42-00B0D0118B56 string is...

Facts:

Ran memtest nothing wrong with that.

Windows is uptodaet XP SP2

ZA 4.5 running

ICS running this PC being host

norton firewall is enabled and uptodate, no virus

Adaware came up with only cookies.

Upnp service is disabled as advised in grc.com but enabling that does not solve the issue. Im not runnig an IIS server that i need to have this. I only share my net connection and some files over the network with another PC.

I would hate to do a full reinstall since im in the middle of a term but this is stopping me from doing my studies.

First try to upgrade your firewall. According to Zone Labs, all ZoneAlarm products (version 5.1 or higher) are compatible with XP SP2 and Windows Security Center. If you are running an older version of ZoneAlarm (5.0 or below), they recommend you upgrade to the most current version.

If the problem persists, then perhaps there is a problem with the OS. I had a similar problem with network connections when I upgraded to Service Pack 2. The problem was that the Network Connections service could not be started because some DLLs for wireless network (although I don't use one) were missing from the system32 folder.

So, try to see if Network Connections can be opened properly in the Control Panel and then just double click the Wireless Network Setup Wizard (found in the Control Panel, too).

If they both open (for the Wizard close it after you see it opens), it probably has to do with the USB device, not the network. In that case, I suggest you to upgrade your modem drivers.

OK, upgrading zonealarm didnt do it but i did something else which seems to have worked but its too early to tell.

I disabled ICS and ran the share network connection on both of my PCs.

After a few MrxSmb warnings, things seem to be going ok. Dont know if its gona come back to haunt me after a reboot.

Can anyone tell me how to find which services or programs fire up in what order when you start windows/log on...?

    • RIP LG smartphones, today is the last day to update your device

      By thartist · Posted

      Really? Do you want it spelled out? Ok: It was a funsies way to say that we can confidently asume that their update servers were shut down years ago already, and no updates have been developed or delivered to any LG phone in years, since, to begin, LG wasn't too well known for their software support.
    • Windows 11 DPI Scaling

      By flynempire · Posted

      Good afternoon, I have a customer who purchased a Dell laptop last year. One of the latest Inspirons. they are older so it can be a bit hard to see things on the screen. They are using Windows 11 Home 23H2, I have not upgraded them yet to 24H2. What I did was changed the scaling to 150% and that automatically made all the icons on desktop bigger and using in Chrome webpage elements are bigger etc. The thing is I overlooked the Taskbar and the icons most notably hidden within the arrow pointing up. I though by changing to 150% the scaling even the taskbar would get bigger. Again I don't know how I missed seeing that. Is this something that can be fixed? One other thing is I notice in File Explorer things are also small and not larger after the change. Can this be fixed as well?   Thank You.
    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.

    • Intel Nova Lake alleged performance shows massive improvement, could answer AMD 3D V-cache

      By OldGuru · Posted

      Intel Level L4 cache has been around for a long time, so AMD Zen 3D Cache is a copy of Intel L4 cache that was introduced with Broadwell i7-5775c, which had 128mb of Level L4 cache. Secondly, Zen 6 is not faster in single-threaded performance than 13900k/14900k. 285k is something new Intel is trying, basically showing us that chiplet design does not work for gaming, just like AMD design does not work for gaming. Throwing more cores at it and having L4 cache won't fix the issue, and that is frame dip and stuttering caused by a very stupid design decision to keep the memory controller outside the compute tile. Might as well put a memory controller by bringing back a south bridge chip. lol
