svchost.exe tries to access Internet

Jackson_san
Hello. I've been using XP for about a month now. There's one thing I'd like to know. . . again. Whenever I boot up XP the Norton Internet Security alarms that svchost is trying to access the internet which I always let it not.

Well, I'm now on the staff of. Just launched Sunday, Dec 16. Open invite to drop by. If you've been to Franknet, you'll probably recognize a few articles over at TWN, and that's because we're copying articles of mine over for some more reads.

Volume Control

Corinthian
You know the little speaker in the system tray by the clock. . . Can this be opened with an. exe file or something ? The reason for this is that I'm trying to move it to a toolbar. Also, can it be changed to control Wave/DirectSound rather that the master volume ?.

Error running Close Combat III on Windows 2000

jethro
Get error message Can't access surface for lock. This happens when clicking next to load the game after making infantry selections. It when the game starts to load the maps, if that makes sense. At least that is what I think it is doing.

Return to castle Wolfenstein = Awesome

Dissident2k1
Just to let you know that Return to castle Wolfenstein is by far the best game I've ever played in my life since I own a PC. Every gamers should go buy it. I give a score of 10 out of 10 for the graphics(yep, GeForce owners will hallucinate) and another one of 10 for the gameplay.

Grrrr....Norton Internet Security 2002

Brian Frank
I don't get this one. I install it, then after the reboot, my rig never seems to finish it's startup in Windows. I can't do anything in normal mode, and I can't uninstall it from within safemode. The Imperial Star Destroyer is in trouble here.

Permission a la Win2k

mote
Using Windows XP Professional: Is there a simple way to setup permissions and user access? Perhaps the same way as Win2k? Is it possible to share a folder, allowing access to various network users but not the entire network? I have not been able to find this functionality in WinXP.

CDRWin problem

thefncrow
OK, got a problem here. Burner works under XP (built-in burning software works, fireburner works), but when an audio cd is burned under CDRWin, I stick it in my cd player and get nothing but static. I tried to see if this was a problem with the mp3 encoder by converting the mp3 to wav, still nothing doing.
