Error 12007

EmpressCallipygos — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 10:44:59 -0800

I periodically have what appears to be a common problem with my Internet connection. Anyone in here have an idea for a fix? Periodically, I have problems with my connection just dropping or getting slow. It's not a line problem, I've isolated that -- I run the Windows diagnostic and get an error code "12007," which has something to do with a firewall, it says. I do not have a firewall.

Usually I just run the Windows diagnostic when this happens, it disconnects and reconnects, and that fixes it. Once in a blue moon I need to go into the cmd prompt and do a reset of a couple things, and that also fixes it. But the problem just periodically comes back; it's just a nuisance level problem rather than anything crippling.

I've linked to a Google search I've done, which makes it look like a lot of people are having this problem. Someone's come up with a widget that "fixes" it, but the advance word I've heard is that that "fix" wreaks havoc with your registry and monkeys with other things, so I do NOT want to download that.

So. Does anyone have any experience with this error? Does anyone know what causes it? It seems like my computer is not automatically resetting some string of code when it should be (or is when it shouldn't be), and that's causing problems.

I can keep doing what I'm doing, but I was curious if anyone knew of any other more permanent fix.

Error Message 00192

My IBM Thinkpad 600 (Pentium 2) has crashed. Whenever I start it up, I get error message 00192. I'd like to avoid going to a technician if possible. What do I do now? Obviously, I've already tried google-ing this, but the results I got were either inconsistent or too technical for me to understand.
This computer:
- runs Windows XP
- is around 8 years old (approximately)
- hard drive is brand-spanking-new
- runs pentium 2, 266 MHz

the different results i got were that it could be the fan, the battery, or another complicated one (see below). on a different site i checked, a user who had gotten the same error message mentioned that he took out his battery and the error message stayed, so the problem probably wasn't the battery.

the third option i got for what was wrong was as follows:

snacc 00192: ERROR (0xC0): ACC card id number is out of expected range. Minimum possible id number: < #>. Maximum possible id number: < #>.

Explanation:
The SNA/ACC is hard coded to expect the card number range to be between zero to 63, inclusively.

Action:
Execute the xsnapadmin utility to make sure the configured card number is not out of the required range. Fix the card id and restart the SNA/ACC link.

Help!

WHOOOOPSIE!

stupid question/geek-filter: is there a repository out there for old video game sounds? I know this is, in the grand scheme of things, a dumb question to even ask, but I just wanted some sound files from classic games that i could download as system sounds for the 'puter. I'm not going to sell them or sample them for 'my next album' or anything, I just want to let my inner geek out a little.

Specifically, I'd like to get the sound of that guy that would come across the side from the bottom of the screen in Mortal Kombat II (I think) that would say "WHOOPSIE!" or "TOASTY!" (i could never tell which) to be my error message. And of course throw in some Mario coin sounds for the default beep or whatever. But you get what i'm going for here. My google-fu fails me here.

Email disappearing in Outlook

Yesterday my Outlook Express program would not launch, instead I received an error message. Today it seems to be working fine, except that all the mail in my inbox disappeared, including a gift certificate to Amazon.com. Any ideas?
