How can I access Win XP Firewall if it doesn’t display in Security Centre?

win xp security


A friend recently installed a McAfee Total Protection software product & accepted all the options. When she then tried to access the internet following this she was unable to (using BT Broadband). I have previously found that McAfee Firewall can be a bit of a death trap and generally ditch it & just use the Win XP Firewall. HOWEVER – she uninstalled & reinstalled McAfee & since then the whole PC has died – GUIs not displaying (not just McA), programs stalling & never coming back…
We got a semblance of order and she can now reach the internet BUT – she has no AV (McAfee will neither install nor uninstall) and the Win Firewall does NOT show up in the Security Centre – SO – does anyone know if I can find the Win Firewall as an executable anywhere? Happy to mess in registry, Services etc. but not familiar with this precise item!
Hope you can help!!




How do I get windows XP to recognize additional SATA hard drive installation?

I have two Western Digital 37GB Raptor SATA drives installed in RAID 0. I later installed two WD 250GB SATA hard drives. The bios sees them, but windows XP does not recognize either drive. How do I configure the bios or operating system so that I can see these new drives under disk management or My Computer? The motherboard is a MSI Diamond Plus. The bios will allow me to configure another RAID array using these drives, but I only want to use the 250G drives for storage. Thanks much for any help!

How can I speed up displaying files in a folder with Windows XP?

When I had Windows 98 and opened a folder, the files in it displayed instantly. I noticed that they load much more slowly with Windows XP even when I disabled the Indexing command. Some folders I have contain thousands of files (average size of around 60 KB) and the more files in a folder, the longer it takes them to appear on the screen. Any more suggestions on how I can speed up the files displaying? Thanks.

My daughter inadvertantly caused our Laptop – running Windows XP – to switch itself off and “hibernate”. It’s done this before and then restarted ok ; however, this time, on pressing the on / off button – nothing !
Is this serious ? Is there a simple way of restarting the Laptop without losing information on the hard drive ??
