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...?

    • Microsoft accidentally replaced Windows 11 startup sound with one from Vista

      By ToniCipriani · Posted

      The sound never left. My Windows 10 installation still has it enabled, I found the checkbox in an earlier build and turned it on and my PC chimes every time it cold boots. That's how I know Windows Update didn't shut down after updating despite me telling it to. That being said... seeing Apple Liquid Glass has me thinking, if Windows 11 brought back the 7 Aero Glass running on top of the new kernel, minus the AI crap, I might actually be willing to move to it.

      These days the differences are small, so if you're a petty nerd over dumb things, you'll be forever stuck behind and won't ever enjoy the latest and current niceties. Yup, it's a real life lesson too.
    • Microsoft 365 Roadmap Weekly: New features for the new Outlook, Copilot updates and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft 365 Roadmap Weekly: New features for the new Outlook, Copilot updates and more by David Uzondu This week, Microsoft added a slew of new entries to the public Microsoft 365 Roadmap, including plans for Teams, the new Outlook, and, of course, Copilot and Copilot Chat. Starting with Outlook, three practical updates are headed for the new Outlook for Windows client. First up, you'll finally be able to add attachments to emails while you are offline, a basic function that has been sorely missed. The remaining two features are slated for August. One will let you create a rule that specifically triggers a desktop alert. The other adds a folder deletion warning. If you try to delete a folder on which an email rule depends, Outlook will stop you and prompt you to fix the rule first. Like Google with Gemini, Microsoft continues to push Copilot deeper into its applications, with several updates planned for mid-2025. Later this month, Copilot will be able to give you a quick summary of recent changes and comments on a file right from the backstage view in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, before you even open the document. Also, Copilot Chat will get the ability to limit its responses to selected content sources, like specific SharePoint sites or files, which should make its answers more focused. Next month, PowerPoint users will get two more Copilot tricks. You will be able to rewrite selected text using a custom natural language prompt and add entirely new topics to an existing presentation, with Copilot generating slides that match the existing look and feel. Edge is not left out, as its integrated Copilot Chat will soon be able to access content across multiple open tabs, not just the active one, with that update scheduled for August. Finally, for organizations that heavily use Teams Rooms Pro on Windows, an August update will allow for simultaneous town hall and webinar views. This will keep the presenter's backstage controls, like green room and backroom chat, hidden from the main audience display in the room.

      Absolutely. Things like Recall.

      The only reason I have Windows 11 is because it came with the new machine. I was quite happy with Windows 10. Windows 11 has its own issues just like any OS, but honestly after the fear-mongering towards Windows 11 while I was on Windows 10, I thought I would be more frustrated. I still prefer my daily OS, but Windows 11 isn't the worst thing in the world for what I use it for.
