I'm not really sure why you would be getting these failure audits on policy changes on a Windows XP Home machine. I don't think that these settings can be enabled via the registry and the XP Home version has no Local Security Policy tool, and it doesn't have a Group Policy snap-in so I'm not sure how you managed to enable the "Audit policy change" feature on your machine.

John I'd be glad to try that, John. But can you lead me to it? In the Start menu Run box enter the following command: services.msc this will open the Services management console. Go down the list to the "IPSEC Services" and double click on it and in the drop down box change the "Startup type" to "Manual". Don't forget to click on the "Apply" button to commit the changes. John That was easy, John. Preliminary checks seem to indicate that the error doesn't show up again in the Events Viewer. I'll check it some more. Now if I could get the ATI errors and anomalies to go away, that would be nice, too. I wonder how many other things are starting up, and slowing my startup up every time, that are totally superfluous. Start a new thread for your ATI errors and problems. To get an idea of what is running when the computer is booted you can run two Windows utilities and then search the internet for advice on the processes and processes that are running. First you can run the Tasklist command. Tasklist is included with Windows XP Pro but not with XP Home, XP Home users can download Tasklist.exe he http://www.computerhope.com/download/winxp.htm Download it and put it in your Windows\System32 folder. Reboot your computer and allow it to settle down and then run these commands at the Command Prompt: tasklist /svc C:\startlist.txt net start C:\startlist.txt Note the double redirector () in the second command, the double redirector instructs the command to append the output to the already existing startlist.txt file. After you run the commands you can open the c:\startlist.txt file and use it for your research. These tools can help you find programs or services that automatically start when the computer is booted: CodeStuff Starter http://codestuff.tripod.com/ Autoruns for Windows http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx Be very careful with Autoruns! Don't disable things that you are unsure of! Do your homework before you disable things. You will have to do a bit of research and decide for yourself what you want or need to have running for your particular use of the computer. Do a search on the internet for the running processes and find out what they are for. Sites like these have good information on a number of processes: Answers That Work - Task List Programs http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm Windows XP x86 (32-bit) Service Pack 3 Service Configurations by Black Viper http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm Services Guide for Windows XP http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm Runscanner Public process list http://www.runscanner.net/filelist.aspx?l=a Startup Applications List http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php John John, I responded to this an hour ago but the message went I know not where. I tried to do the tasklist download, from a link which seemed to say tasklist, but couldn't get any tasklist.exe to execute. If seemed to be the right place but everything came up Safexp and so on. Simply changing the names didn't seem to work. May I bother you again to refine the above instructions? Thank you......

It asked me about running a program from an unknown source, which I allowed it to do. I then followed your instructions but couldn't find the .TXT file...... I did, however, find a new file HPWebHelper.log of about 345K size. May I have your further advice?

John See my later message about IPSec, John. I tried the test and got no results at all. It is XP Home/SP2 (SP3 is the same). It is a one-user-desktop, hardwired to Ethernet/DSL line. I'm not really sure why you would be getting these failure audits on policy changes on a Windows XP Home machine. I don't think that these settings can be enabled via the registry and the XP Home version has no Local Security Policy tool, and it doesn't have a Group Policy snap-in so I'm not sure how you managed to enable the "Audit policy change" feature on your machine. Unless IPSEC is configured the error is benign, you might have 'phantom' adapters on your machine, verify and make sure that no phantom adapters are present. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539 Device Manager does not display devices that are not connected to the Windows XP-based computer If you aren't making VPN connections then there is little to no likelihood that IPSEC is configured or even used on your machine, set the IPSEC service to Manual and see if these errors persist. John I'd be glad to try that, John. But can you lead me to it? In the Start menu Run box enter the following command: services.msc this will open the Services management console. Go down the list to the "IPSEC Services" and double click on it and in the drop down box change the "Startup type" to "Manual". Don't forget to click on the "Apply" button to commit the changes. John That was easy, John. Preliminary checks seem to indicate that the error doesn't show up again in the Events Viewer. I'll check it some more.

I wonder how many other things are starting up, and slowing my startup up every time, that are totally superfluous. Start a new thread for your ATI errors and problems. To get an idea of what is running when the computer is booted you can run two Windows utilities and then search the internet for advice on the processes and processes that are running. First you can run the Tasklist command. Tasklist is included with Windows XP Pro but not with XP Home, XP Home users can download Tasklist.exe he http://www.computerhope.com/download/winxp.htm Download it and put it in your Windows\System32 folder. Reboot your computer and allow it to settle down and then run these commands at the Command Prompt: tasklist /svc C:\startlist.txt net start C:\startlist.txt Note the double redirector () in the second command, the double redirector instructs the command to append the output to the already existing startlist.txt file.

Tasklist is included with Windows XP Pro but not with XP Home, XP Home users can download Tasklist.exe he http://www.computerhope.com/download/winxp.htm Download it and put it in your Windows\System32 folder. Reboot your computer and allow it to settle down and then run these commands at the Command Prompt: tasklist /svc C:\startlist.txt net start C:\startlist.txt Note the double redirector () in the second command, the double redirector instructs the command to append the output to the already existing startlist.txt file. After you run the commands you can open the c:\startlist.txt file and use it for your research. These tools can help you find programs or services that automatically start when the computer is booted: CodeStuff Starter http://codestuff.tripod.com/ Autoruns for Windows http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx Be very careful with Autoruns! Don't disable things that you are unsure of! Do your homework before you disable things. You will have to do a bit of research and decide for yourself what you want or need to have running for your particular use of the computer. Do a search on the internet for the running processes and find out what they are for. Sites like these have good information on a number of processes: Answers That Work - Task List Programs http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm Windows XP x86 (32-bit) Service Pack 3 Service Configurations by Black Viper http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm Services Guide for Windows XP http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm Runscanner Public process list http://www.runscanner.net/filelist.aspx?l=a Startup Applications List http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php John John, I responded to this an hour ago but the message went I know not where. I tried to do the tasklist download, from a link which seemed to say tasklist, but couldn't get any tasklist.exe to execute. If seemed to be the right place but everything came up Safexp and so on. Simply changing the names didn't seem to work. May I bother you again to refine the above instructions? Thank you...... Direct download link to Tasklist.exe: http://www.computerhope.com/download/winxp/tasklist.exe Download it and place it in your C:\Windows\System32 folder then run the commands as instructed in the earlier post. John John, sorry to be a bother..... by the time your redirection info arrived, I had already corrected my error, downloaded tasklist.exe, saved it in C:\windows\system32, verified that it is there, and executed what you said, from the cmd prompt. It asked me about running a program from an unknown source, which I allowed it to do. I then followed your instructions but couldn't find the .TXT file...... I did, however, find a new file HPWebHelper.log of about 345K size. May I have your further advice? ??? I just downloaded and ran the Tasklist.exe utility from the direct download link provided and it runs here without any problems. You have to run these commands from the Command Prompt. If you ran the commands properly the startlist.txt file will be in the root of the C: drive, search for the file or try entering this in the Start menu Run box: C:\startlist.txt John Sorry, John. I've been *extra* careful to do exactly what you said. I did a complete search, and startlist.txt just doesn't get created. And it asks permission to execute tasklist.exe every time. Is there some workaround? Can I somehow execute it from other than the command prompt? These commands are meant to be run from the command prompt (or in scripts and batch files). Forget the Tasklist command for the time being and try it with the net start command, the Net command is already included in your XP Home installation and it should run without problems, try this simple command: net start the command should return a list of running services on the machine. Capturing the the output of the command to a text file will make it easier to research the services and processes and keep track of changes that you want to make. To capture the output and redirect to a text file use the redirector: net start c:\test.txt Using double redirectors appends the output to the end of the file without deleting the already existing contents of the file: net start c:\test.txt Run the net start commands above and see if you can find the output file. You should be able to do the same thing with the Tasklist command. The message you get with the downloaded Tasklist is caused by security settings on your computer. Streams" are added to files downloaded from the internet, when you try to execute the downloaded file the stream is detected and you are asked to confirm your action. Streams (properly called Alternate Data Streams) are an NTFS only feature, they are only available on NTFS drives. When you are sure that a downloaded file is safe you can get rid of the stream by copying the file to non NTFS media like a FAT diskette, a FAT32 thumb drive or burn it to a CD and the stream will be stripped, you can then just copy the file back to the NTFS drive, the streams will be stripped but the actual contents of the file will remain unchanged. John No sweat, John. net start alone gave me the file test.txt, and the gave me the same thing twice. I don't know why tasklist.exe doesn't play. That command line has more to it, though. So now I have the list, and I can decide which of those files I really don't want; that's the next game, right? FYI, John, here's the fat list of test.txt: These Windows services are started: Application Layer Gateway Service Ati HotKey Poller Automatic Updates COM+ Event System Cryptographic Services DCOM Server Process Launcher DHCP Client Distributed Link Tracking Client DNS Client Event Log Fast User Switching Compatibility Help and Support LexBce Server lxct_device Machine Debug Manager Network Connections Network Location Awareness (NLA) Norton AntiVirus Norton Save and Restore Norton UnErase Protection Pervasive PSQL Workgroup Engine Plug and Play Print Spooler Protected Storage Remote Access Connection Manager Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Secondary Logon Security Accounts Manager Server Shell Hardware Detection Speed Disk service SSDP Discovery Service System Event Notification Task Scheduler TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Telephony Terminal Services Themes Universal Plug and Play Device Host Viewpoint Manager Service WebClient Windows Audio Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Windows Management Instrumentation Windows Time Wireless Zero Configuration Workstation The command completed successfully.
