Win NT 4.0 virus protection?

barkeep
Still running Windows NT 4. 0 on my PDC, Proxy server and RAID cabinet/file server. Anyone know of an anti-virus software solution that still supports NT4? Haven't had any problems for the last few years but I think something is suddenly amiss in Drivetown on my network.

HP USB Printer "USB Device not recognize"

WetFox
I'm having a very annoying problem about this HP USB Printer (HP Laserjet 4250 / HP Laserjet P2015). I could not install it because of USB not recognize problem when I connect it to any USB ports. The PC is Dell Optiplex and I believe it has USB2.

misaal9
Ive heard that there is a certain limit to the number of times that you can install Windows XP. If you exceed this limit then the product key of ur Win XP installation changes. Is this true?. If so, then how do you reinstall XP if the product key has changed?.

Sound in XP very echoey

belveder
Since I built my computer I've been running Vista and the sound has been clear and good. I just formatted and put XP Pro back on and now the sound is very echoey especially in games. I am using K-lite mega codec pack in XP, thought I would mention this as I have heard sometimes codecs can cause issues.
