    • IE6 or IE7 and WMP
      • I have been troubleshooting this issue for weeks now with no progress. When a user navs to a website with a WMP video, he clicks the video link and get the following message: "WMP was unable to locate this video file. Please connect to the internet and try again." It's WiFi 802.11G connected and this issue only happens on his system. I can hit the same site and view the video with no problems. I have updated and/or patched IE, Windows Media Player, XP, etc. No luck. I have turned off UDP streaming. No luck. Any ideas? I will also post in the WMP forum.

    • MERGE FILES QUESTIONS
      • There are two questions here: (1) I click Save As > another file with a different name. Office comes up with a box that asks if I want to replace file, overwrite file with changes, merge files. I click "merge." Just *what* is this doing? The Help button is useless for information about merging document files. (2) After clicking "merge," four windows pop up: On the left, a long, thin window showing (I guess) the changes made in the merge; a big window in the middle showing the combined document; on the right, two boxlike windows showing the two original files. I closed the window on the left. But, . . . how do I get it back? I tried going back to Square One (open document > Save As > choose another file > select third option: merge). Nothing happened. The window did not come back. In fact, nothing happened like it did the first time. All it did was open up the other selected document, presumably, with the changes already merged. Once again, the Office Help function was as helpful as Clippy.

    • Creating trusts between W2K3 and W2K ad domains problem
      • i am trying to create a trust relationship between 2 domains, so i started creating it from the w2k3 domain. The actual process went fine, I created a two-way selective auth. trust and validate it for both directions (INCOMING and OUTGOING). i have the admin username and password for the remote domain so that was all good. I can browse the remote AD from my domain. Now on the w2k domain i have looked and the trusts and saw that they were created successfully. I tried to verify the trusts and got the "Information from the primary DC for the domain X (the w2k3 domain) cannot be obtained because: RPC server is unavailable" now i know there are some things that need to be in place for the DNS resolution to work properly, but to the best of my knowledge that stuff is done and working. First, there is a conditional forwarder set up in the w2k3 domain to the w2k domain and that resolution works fine. I also have a forwarder set up in the w2k domain to the w2k3 domain and that one is working fine as well. according to some posts i read, there has to be a secondary DNS zone in the w2k domain for the w2k3 domain, so i have also completed that successfully as well. however the problems still persists...same error message.. any help will be appreciated thanks

    • Design of a computer network solution for a given scenario
      • hi yeah, will any one can get me some information about my query. Introduction Design and document a campus network that meets the requirements of a company. You are expected to provide justification(s) for your decision(s). The justification(s) will provide an explanation for the options considered and the reason(s) behind choosing the selected option(s). Background GraphicsWork is a graphical company producing graphics and animation for the entertainment industry. The company is located in Windsor. It consists of one building accommodating approximately 200 people. It is networked and has 256Kbps Internet connection. The firm is growing quickly and has recently acquired another company in Slough. The new company has ten buildings in an industrial estate area of Slough. Different buildings and number of floors in each building are listed below. No floor has more than 30 hosts. Building Number of Floors Building 1 4 Building 2 3 Building 3 3 Building 4 2 Building 5 4 Building 6 3 Building 7 4 Building 8 3 Building 9 3 Building 10 3 (Slough Campus) General applications used are: =95 Oracle database =95 Microsoft Office applications =95 File and print services =95 E-mail =95 WWW and HTTP =95 Graphic packages Graphicswork would like to network the Slough campus in an effort to reduce cost and improve operational efficiency and network management. The next phase of network implementation is to interconnect the Windsor and Slough sites in an effort to share resources, to allow easy communication between designers and artists to increase creativity and productivity. The Design/Production departments at the Windsor and Slough sites would like to be able to transfer graphic files from one campus to another. The Windsor site will provide Internet and e-mail access for both sites. The company wants to use Internet to gain clients and find new opportunities. The company has already developed and tested its new web server in preparation for the Internet access. Requirements =95 Design a campus network for Slough site with a networking technology that is : o Scalable to support future applications and expansions o Reliable and fault-tolerant o Easy to manage and has a response time of approximately 1/10th of a second or less o Cost-effective =95 Use IP address: 172.10.2.0/21 to design and implement an efficient hierarchical IP addressing scheme that can be summarised for the campus network. =95 Implement an appropriate IP routing protocol for the co-operative network. =95 Research latest/recent developments in WAN technologies and prepare a technical report for the management. Recommend and document an appropriate technology to interconnect the Windsor and Slough sites.

    • Vista x64 and x32 activation status
      • Dear all, I am ordering a custom-made PC and I will be getting an OEM version of Vista Ultimate. Now the choice is mine if it is x32 or x64 I am getting. The x64 version has all the drivers for all the hardware I require, and also has the option of accessing more than 4GB of RAM, which I am interested in. The issue is that if I get the computer with Vista Ultimate x64 OEM and I activate the copy, later down the line I may find that I encounter huge compatibility issues that force me to revert to an x32 version. With x64 version's being activated already, if I install x32 OEM Vista Ultimate (the system builder told me he could provide me with the relevant DVD media) afterwards on the same PC, with the same product key, will the activation still work? There would be no hardware changes, but there would be a change in the Vista flavour, from x64 to x32. I supose the underlying question is if the activation takes into account BOTH the hardware components AND the Vista flavour (i.e. x32 or x64), or just the hardware components? Any help would be highly appreciated! Best regards, Romeo Ghiriti -- Romeo Ghiriti Software Engineer

    • IE freezes when started
      • Hello, On a Win2k pro machine IE freezes for about 4-5 minutes when started with some users before being usable. When I log into that machine with admin rights, IE behaves as expected (normally). Another person with the same rights I have has the problem mentioned above along with another user having only users rights. I checked the machine for viruses, spywares, ..., I defraged it, purged the IE cache and made sure that everything was up to date. Any suggestions. Thank you. Eric

    • shadow copy - only 1 copy appearing
      • Hi, I have seen this problem a couple of times on windows 2003 servers even though this is not a common issue (different clients). When I look at shadow copies of a drive, I see only 1 copy. It looks like everytime it does a copy, it deletes the old ones. I've checked the schedule, the quota, deactivate/reactivate with default options, all the options, everything is fine and even redoing the shadow copy configuration did nothing. If I do a shadow copy manually, I now see 2 shadow copies. The one made by the schedule and mine (I've done a couple manually and can see all of them). But at the next schedule, I will see only 1 copy which is the last one made automatically. The other automatic copy and the manual ones dissapearing. I've also checked with the command vssadmin that everything is fine and no errors in event viewer. On the server I am having the issue ritght now, I see multiple copies for the C: drive but only one for the D: drive (so basically don't have the problem for the C: drive). I have configured and used Shadow copy a lot over the years and always use default values which is fine with me. Any ideas? Thanks

    • Windows Protection Error - HELP!
      • For some reason unknown to me, when my computer started up today, I got a blue screen with the message: Windows Protection Error. Please restart your system. When I restarted, the same message came up. The keyboard and mouse are disabled, and i had to turn off the pc by unplugging the power. I checked microsoft on another pc for this problem, and it listed a large number of possibilites as the cause. I did manage to do a thorough scan disk. Some errors were found and automatically fixed. I then defragmented the drive. When rebooting, the same message came up. Does anyone have any hints for troubleshooting this? Thanks. -- Not all those who wander are lost. J. R. R. Tolkein

    • Another SP3 upgrade failure and disaster
      • I'm running a HP P4 with XP Pro SP2. Nothing fancy, just a basic 2005 business machine with only a few application installed on it and all stock hardware. Never gives any problem. I installed SP3 on it yesterday and after a (seemingly) normal install, it rebooted and came up with SP3. Then the problems began. First I noticed that the machine was virtually nonresponsive taking ages to respond to any command except mouse movement. Poping up the task manager showed that CPU usage was pegged at near 100 percent. A number of reboots did not fix the problem and other than the CPU usage and nonresponsiveness, everything appeared normal. I finally elected to uninstall SP3 and did a System Restore to the point before the install. After unistalling SP3, system response returned to normal and CPU usage was back down to about 3 percent. (Interestingly, at this point the System page shows that the OS is SP2, as you would expect, but if you go to Add/Remove Programs it shows that SP3 is installed. I didn't risk trying to remove SP3 there since the system was now running normally again.) So much for SP3; I'll stay with SP2 for the forseeable future!

    • Incorrect file association icons
      • I recently installed new MP3 software and want to associate MP3 type files with it. In Explorer I used Tools/Options/File Types to change the association, but it did not change the icon in Explorer. I now see a Windows Media Player icon, although when I double click on the file it does open in my new program. I am also experiencing the same problem with WAV files and another program. I have spent allot of time searching for an answer online, but assume I need to edit the registry, and I am always very leery about changing anything in there without professional advice. Hopefully some here can let me know how to do this correctly. Thanks, Daren

    • Small network, one pc inaccessible
      • I have a small network of just a few pc's here. I have various folders and printers etc shared on each pc, when I go to view workgroups and places I can see all the computers. Usually I can double click a pc to access its resources but one of the computers always says it is not accessible or I might not have permissions, access denied. This has happened to me a few times in the past too and I've never been able to understand why or how to fix it. All the pcs are XP Pro and are in the same workgroup. I've tried connecting by IP or hostname with the same results. I've even gone extreme and turned off windows firewall on the one computer and it made no difference. FYI, the one computer that is inaccessible to everyone can view all the other computers just fine. On another note, while I can access other pc's some of them take a REALLY long time before anything happens. Sometimes the window seems to crash until it makes the connection. Any help appreciated.

    • SVChost.exe 99% CPU Usage with SP3 installed
      • Hello, I recently installed SP3 on my laptop and desktop PC's running Windows XP Home SP2. Everything was fine for about a week, but last night, both PC's slowed till a standstill and became unusable. The show an instance of SVCHost.exe using 99% of the CPU. I used Process Explorer to narrow the problem down to the Automatic Update service. Stop it and SVCHost.exe goes to 0% usage and System Idle jumps back to 99%. I left the PC on today for 12 hours to see if it was actually downloading something and might "fix" itself. After 12 hours, it was still using 99% for svchost. No network activity light and no hard drive usage; just running the PC full bore. I knew this was a problem that happened to some people a year ago, and there was a fix. However, wasn't SP3 supposed to have all those fixes. Why did this start happenening on two different PC's at exactly the same time,, with both having SP3 installed. Also SP3 was installed from disc, not download and installed with no errors on either machine. Can anyone help me with a solution that will allow me to use automatic updates, and not have svchost.exe use 99% of my CPU. With the problem, it takes 10 minutes to open Explorer, or even 5 minutes just to get a command prompt to come up.

    • Trusted certificates
      • System is Win XP Pro SP2, x64 [desktop] Win XP Pro Sp2, x32 [laptop]. After a recent set of updates on the 64 bit PC, I encountered Error 8x80072F8F = date/time sync error and a stop on updates. Following the 3 offered options, to correct date/time, failed to correct. There seemed to be a link to 'trusted certificates' and searching these showed several were 'out-of-date'. Can I safely click & delete these? I saw a new 'certificates upgrade' on the Wifi-ed 32 bit laptop & 'fixed' that, but cannot get to upgrades on the 64 bit desktop - yet. This latter had 'certificate errors' showing on several sites = Ebay, Paypal, etc, so put them as trusted (Kapersky) and that worked. Thanks for help, roj

    • Win XP Repair stops installing at unsigned driver (Sigmatel)
      • I am running the WIN XP OS repair on 3 year old installation on my Dell 5100C. Everything is fine up until it wants to load the Sigmatel Driver. Then it asks for permission to continue, but since the mouse and keyboard USB drivers are unloded (I checked by playing with my Mouse until it stopped, a few seconds before the Sigmatel driver came up), I cannot continue. Ther is no port for for PS 1 mouse. What is the way to work around this? Is there a command line option for forcing either the installation or ignoring of unsigned drivers? Thanks and Regards, Dewey

    • Docx converter doesn't work on xp64/Word2003
      • Fully patched for everything as per Windows update. Have the converter installed along with relevant updates. Tried the various tricks mentioned here and other boards (e.g. re-install converter, re-install office, remove .tmp/$ files, enable manual selection of file conversion, sacrifice a small animal, etc....) - nothing worked. Absolutely not a corrupted docx or a permissions issue as I have another machine with the same version of Office but running XP 32-bit. Really, the only difference is one OS is XP 64-bit, one is XP 32-bit. Works just fine for PPTx and XLSx. Very, very frustrating. Help? Thanks. -Angie K. PS. Competely unrelated but why the big change in Office 2007 interface? I've got one machine running that and absolutely hate it. Feels like I'm being forced to use the mouse more than keyboard. I'm not just talking about short-cuts. I find it MUCH faster to navigate through menus (up to 3 levels deep) using the keyboard (alt-this, alt-that, arrow keys, etc...). Lift my hands to go to the mouse just breaks my rythm. Maybe I'm just odd.

    • Self-deleting macro button?
      • I have a macrobutton embedded in a line of hidden 'instruction' text. The macrobutton works fine - But the hidden instruction line is no longer needed as soon as the macro executes. What syntax can I add to the macro button's macro, that will delete the entire hidden line, macro button and all, as the macrobutton executes?
