UP,nP enabled? / ping Shane

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

Hello Shane:

At this point it is unclear to me where exactly we were cut off because of
"overload".To be sure I am giving you the information you were asking about
and some:
Spybot warned me about deleting ssdpsrv.exe.
When I did uncheck "Universal Plug and Play", the following message appeared
after rebooting as
Windows Update:
"An error occurred loading C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\upnp.dll.
The file may not have been installed
or it has been corrupted."
To keep matters simple and on an even keel, I enabled UP'nP again.
Would you concur?

Harry.

Harry,

I'm not certain what you're attempting to accomplish, but if you're
looking for an easy way to disable the UPnP service, Steve Gibson's
Unplug 'n Pray tool provides an easy way to disable and enable the service.

You may also be interested in looking at the following KB article
related to UPnP. As you're probably aware, ssdpsrv.exe is a Windows
system file associated with the UPnP service.

Tom:

I had presented a question whether to disable UP'nP
or not and was advised it would be better to have it disabled. In my case it
doesn't seem to be advantageous.
Just wanted to let Shane know, since we had a thread going.
Sorry if I caused confusion about the issue.
Will this clear it up?

Harry.

Harry,

That clears it up. I think the Unplug 'n Pray tool is what you want.
Using the tool, it only takes one click to disable the service.

Tom:

Not yet, because Shane mentioned to me it is much easier to do it manually
in control panel under Add/Remove Programs/Windows Setup and which I am
aware of.
But in my case I seem to be needing this feature.
My machine is telling me so.
Unless something else needs to be corrected first.
That I will have to examine.

Harry.

I'll leave you to sort it out with Shane and go back into the shadows
from whence I came.

Already taken care of, Tom.
Don't go away too far, you may be needed before you know.
Thanks for being there when it counted.

Harry.
