PCA Forums

I'm posting this here because I haven't gotten much help in the OS forum.

Some programs can't access the internet on my dad's Win XP Home rig. They all worked fine on 2000/98. He can get IE6, Windows Update, and some other programs working, but a few don't work. The most important is Quicken. Norton Systemworks 2002 (Live Update) and the Quicken installer don't work either.
Everything is hooked up to a Linksys router. The other computers hooked up to the router have no problem with those programs. No firewall is installed yet and the WinXP built-in firewall isn't activated. The NIC is a Linksys. No proxy settings are checked anywhere that I can see. The XP install is a clean install, not an upgrade.
Thanks,

click righ click and click compatibility tab and choose what operating system to run the program under. this worked for me when programs did not work on xp

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. I tried setting it to both Win2K and Win98 modes.
Any more tips?

Did you ever get it working JMan? I can't get any FTP programs to connect on XP for some reason but everything else works...?

No, I haven't gotten it to work
I might just reinstall XP for him... might be kind of a pain though.
If anyone knows anything about this, I'd appreciate your help.
