  I run an xp windows 2003-04. My computer does not start completely and if I click on debug or put end to the program there just restarts the computer. How can I solve this problem? and is it possible that I can update my software?

  You say that you can not even start in Safe Mode, so method 1 will not help you, method 2 will not help you and 3 method will not help you.

  I start in the XP Recovery Console and first run a chkdsk/r on the afflicted system, but since we don't know anything about your system, we will need more information.

  It is a shame that in the forums MS Answers, the first response to a new question is (or should be) a request for more information...  You are 5 days in your problem, and so for him it seems that you are not getting anywhere.  If the thread goes inactive for more than a few days, the response of the Microsoft Support Engineer will become the 'response' automatically because it has links to the KB articles.

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• To configure Group policy so that after 5 invalid logon attempts computer display an error message indicating that the account is locked out for 30 minutes

  Original title: function or Vulneralbility? [Lock Group Policy]

  Hello world

  I have Windows XP Service Pack 3 with automatic updates turned on and the protection in real time against malware.

  I use Group Policy to configure for my computer account lockout policy, indicating that the account is locked by 30 minutes after 5 invalid connection attempts. I also use the TweakUI Autologon feature. (you can ask why the account lockout is necessary when automatic login is turned on?) Hold on...). Please also note that the feature of quick change of user on my PC is off, too. (but I still use the Welcome screen)

  So, when I have already connected, press Win + L to lock my workstation. Now, I begin to grasp things at random to be used as password. So that after a few failed attempts, the system displays: "cannot open a session because your account is locked. Please contact administrator.

  However, when I entered the correct password now, the system will always connect.

  I don't know if this is a feature of Microsoft Windows or a vulneralbility.

  More information: my computer is NOT a part of a domain, it belongs to the "MSHOME" workgroup and has file and printer sharing.

  Any help is appreciated.

• When I tried to back up my files, I got an error (0 x 80070013) indicating that the media is write-protected

  When I tried to back up my files, I got an error (0 x 80070013) indicating that the media is write-protected. How can I solve this problem? Thank you for your time, Shawn

  You may not have the correct permissions or own the medium on which you try to perform the backup.  Here are some instructions on how to give you the right permissions and Take Ownership (if necessary).

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder/drive, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/. In this csse make sure grant you full permissions and check also advanced special permissions (including the inherited permissions) which can substitute for this entry to limit your rights by assembling as well.

  To resolve this problem with folders or drive, take possession of the records or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

• To run all the applications of the laptop or install download applications works does not error message indicating that the application is not valid "win32.exe or win32.application.

  To run all the applications of the laptop or install download applications works does not error message indicating that the application is not valid "win32.exe or win32.application.

  Hello m.velentino,

  Not sure if you are still having the error message isn't valid win32.applicaiton.

  Get the error: not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:
  I have listed some of them below.

  The file is corrupted, bad or missing.
  -If the hard disk is damaged or hurt it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.
  -If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

  File is not designed for your version of Windows:
  -If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.
  -Although many old programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.
  -If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you can get this error.
  -If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

  File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.
  - This error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.
  -If the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program. start the computer in Mode safe will be that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.
  
  Hardware incompatibility.
  -If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.
  -Download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

  Let us know if these suggestions help you.
