    - Office 2003 Word and Outlook "shut down" error Help! I downloaded an Adobe update and since that point I'm having problem with Word and Outlook. It doesn't matter which of them I'm using they will "shut down" and throw out what I'm doing. This is the error message I get "Microsoft Office Word encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The do offer a "recover" but this is happening 40-50 times a day! HELP! FYI ... it seems when I'm in the programs I cannot slow down or stop typing or the error will happen ~ I can't stop to look for information, print, etc without it occuring. Any advice you might have on how to fix this would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you. Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818890

    - Windows Live meeting Won't Quit I recently used Windows Live Meting for a one-time use. Now, it keeps popping up, and shows up in my taskbar on the right. I right click and close it, but after a wakeup from standby it's back. I went into its Tools | Otions | General and unchecked the appropriate boxes. Any reason for this Dracula-like behavior?

    - XP Home Packard Bell laptop, total hard drive failure, no Windows XP Home CD but valid licence key on back of pc, what can I do? Dear Group, A friend has asked me to fix his laptop, the hard drive has failed completely. I've tried it in other pc's and none even recognise that it's connected in the BIOS. Purchased a replacement hard drive, installed it, and now I'm stuck. It had Windows XP Home, still has the licence key sticker on reverse. He doesn't have the CD because he thinks he was supposed to burn a disc but "never got round to it". What can I do? I've sent Packardbell Support an email asking what they recommend, so far just an automated reply saying they will get back to me. My brother has a fujitsu siemens XP Home cd, I am going to try using that to install, but I'm guessing their will be an error or something since it's not Packard Bell, is that the case or will this work? Do I need to find someone near me with a Packard Bell XP Home cd? Can I download this version of Windows XP Home from the internet and install using the valid key on reverse of laptop? If it prechecked the valid key then I don't see why not, but I doubt this is available. I look forward to the replies, thanks. Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818875

    - Application to prevent idle logout I am running XP in a University environment. When I leave the office (to work in a lab) the machine logs out after about half an hour. This is annoying because it takes 5 minutes to log back in. Is there some way I can prevent the log out? It doesn't log me out if I move the mouse or do something else to show the machine is still in use. Is there some application I can do to automate this?

    - Error after Repair Good day, I'm using a Dell Inspirion E1505 with Windows XP Media Center 2005 installed on it. After a number of viruses and trojans attacked my system, I decided to repair it using the CD that came with the system. However, during the repair, I got the following error messages: - shmgrate.exe: The procedure entry point Get RequestedRuntimeVersion could not be located in the dynamic link library WININET.dll - ngen.exe: The procedure entry point InternetGetSecurityInfoByURLW could not be located in the dynamic link library mscoree.dll - .NET Framework Initialization Error: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll could not be loaded Now each time I boot the system, I get the blue screen of death with the following error message: STOP: 0x0000007B (0x179E0524, 0xC00000034, 0x00000000, 0X00000000) I didn't want to lose my programs or my files so I decided to save my file by doing a temporary parallel installation to retrieve my files. But after the second installation, I couldn't find any of my documents. I'm so confused because the hard disk space indicates that they are there but I've tried windows and Dos search. Please help.

After I deleted some unused user accounts, I received the following msg - "Client Services for NetWare has disabled the Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching. To restore these features you must uninstall Client Services for NetWare."

    - Windows XP on IMac - bluetooth problems Just bought a new IMac for my wife, partitioned the drive and installed XP. Unfortunately, we're having trouble because the XP side won't recognize the wireless Apple mouse and keyboard. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I've been following Apple's directions and now their tech support says they can't help me with Windows...I know, I know...why did I buy her a Mac (other than that's what she wanted...?). Can anyone help walk me through this process so she can use both sides of her Mac with the wireless mouse and wireless keyboard? -- jspeedy33 Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818824

    - DOES XP Pro require start-up discs be made? I just thought about the prior habit of creating a Start-Up disk, but don't recall having to do it with XP Pro (in 2006 - new computer system). Then, MS had to re-format my HD (!!!! ya, I know) shortly after the computer was purchased, and the tech in India did not segment it at all. So now I'm faced with miseries when I back-up each time (trying to address that now). Thanks all. - Working in the "dark" Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818820

    - Resetting XP Pro Ok, am sort of jumping the gun, but it goes like this: I bought an used Dell, "as-is" with the XP Pro certificate and key number on the side of the machine. It was as is cause in this sale there was no video card in the machine, so I risked the few bucks, took the machine and now risked another $7 on eBay for a regular PCI video card. Then I realized, that even if this works, what if there was a password on the machine, forgot to ask. So if there is I have one question: Is there a way to "reset" XP on that machine? In other words even if there is a password, do something so it goes back to the point where it's just at the point the day the machine was bought, with XP installed? Again, jumping the gun since not even sure it works till the video card gets here. But am assuming I have the right to, I bought the machine, etc. And the machine came with XP from the manufacturing, etc. etc. I actually don't care what software he previously had installed, I have all my own software to install. Thanks ahead, as always, Daniel Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818807

    - Restoring from backup My notebook was on its last legs with problems performing most functions. I managed to run a complete backup using MS Backup under System Tools, and selecting "My Documents and Settings' onto an external hard drive. This created a .BKF file. Now I need to restore the data, and most specifically my Outlook data and emails. My new notebook runs Vista and I couldn't find a way to restore directly to that computer. So I used the RESTORE function of MS Backup to restore all data to a separate bare bones XP desktop machine. How do I find the necessary files from the desktop and transfer them to my Vista notebook so that I can access my old data again? Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818806

    - After Upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro, Windows Won't Boot This is a somewhat lengthy description of my problem, but here goes... I had XP Home SP3 installed on my desktop computer. I wanted to upgrade it to XP Pro. I inserted the XP Pro disc and the setup program started from within Windows, only to find that it wouldn't upgrade because the current version of Windows (Home with SP3) was newer than the version of Windows on the disc (Pro with SP2). So I slipstreamed SP3 into the Pro SP2 disc, using the method described here: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/xpsp3_slipstream.asp . That seemed to work, because when I entered setup again from Windows the new version error didn't appear, and I was able to proceed with the upgrade. I did (without entering the product key yet), and the setup routine continued normally, restarting periodically and installing files. After one of the restarts, the Windows boot screen appeared as it had been doing, but shortly after a blue screen appeared and the computer restarted. The "Windows didn't start successfully screen appeared," and I tried to start Windows normally again, but the blue screen came up again. Then I tried the last know good configuration option, and the blue screen still came up. Finally I tried Safe Mode, and through that the computer did boot into Windows. It looks like the upgrade worked, since the Windows version now reads Windows XP Professional, but I couldn't find what might be stopping Windows from booting. What could be the problem?

    - Help with SP3 update I have a new laptop. While doing some surfing I noted that a windows update was downloading. Not surprising since I have automatic updates set and install. Late I noted that downloaded update had not installed so looked at it. Saw it was a large one for SP# and required my accepting license. So I said accept. Installation started and seemed to go smoothly until I was installing new files and it got a read error on a MDI file for Beethoven's Nineth Symphony. Since I did not think I needed it I said skip file and continue. It went on until it hit a wmi file again for Ninth symphony that is when it aborted somehow when I tried to skip it. The KB936929 was uninstalled. When I tried to downloaded from scratch I was told it was already loaded ready to be installed. Since I think the download has a problem want to uninstalled/redownload. Tried to get it off MS download page but all I got was the file for a network. Said for a single PC go to windows Update but do not know how to get there. Can One of you : a. tell me how to remove the stored KB936929 file so I can download it again or b. Tell me how to get the file and write over what I have? email response not expected but to respond remove .uk at end TIA Hank Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818780

    - problems using virtual hard disks (VHD) with XP, VHDMount I installed the latest version of Virtual Server w/VHDMount, and the "take 2" registry Ben Armstrong posted on his blog for quickly mounting VHD files (see http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2007/06/20/double-clicking-on-a-vhd-to-mount-it-take-2.aspx or http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/search.aspx?q=vhd&p=1 for all his VHDMount articles) and am having a lot of issues.... I am hoping someone will be able to point out something obvious I did wrong so I can get this to work... I tried created a VHD image using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (I have tried both dynamic and fixed-size) and partitioned/formatted them with NTFS. I right-clicked on the VHD file and selected "plug in". NOTE: what I describe happens whether I use the right-click options, or from the command prompt use VHDMount.exe /p VHDFileName and VHDMount.exe /u /c VHDFileName The first thing strange is the drive did not appear in My Computer so I opened Computer Management > Disk Management and see the drive (shows up as Disk 6, I have a media card reader that takes up 2-5) is there but offline/disabled. When I right-click it for Properties, I can enable it from the dropdown. Or I can goto Device Manager > Disk drives and it is listed with a red X, and I can right-click and enable it. At this point it gets a drive letter. I never had any issue with the driver - although just to be sure I tried following the instructions to update the driver and pointed it to the .inf files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Server\Vhdmount\ (vhdbus.inf and vhdstor.inf) but Windows says these are not drivers for the device. It seems to already have a working driver for this. In any case, once I enable the drive, I get a drive letter and can then copy files to the partition... sometimes. I have a few large folders with many files (almost 4 GB, ~14,000 files) and when I try copying the files with Explorer, it starts to work, but then I get an error saying Windows cannot complete the task. So I have to use my file compare utility (Beyond Compare 2.x). Sometimes it works (sort of) if there aren't too many files or the file directory structure isn't too deep. But then when I am done, I don't seem to be able to unmount the drive. I right click on the VHD file and select Unplug (commit changes) and nothing happens - the drive letter still appears in My Computer and Disk Management. It is only when I disable the drive in Disk Management or Device Manager that I hear the chime (the sound you hear when you Safely Remove Hardware) and the drive letter goes away. Then if I try to re-enable, Windows asks me to reboot (really inconvenient), and usually the system gets unstable. But usually I don't get that far - usually Beyond Compare locks up 1/3 or 1/2 of the way through copying the files. At this point Windows gets very unstable, to where it is totally unresponsive except for my being able to move the mouse pointer. I am unable to kill Beyond Compare or Explorer in Task Manager, open any Windows in Explorer, or shut down the PC without killing the power, let alone Unplug the VHD to commit the changes. After much frustration I gave up and tried a 3rd party program (WinImage.com) but it doesn't seem to work with VHD files except for letting you read & copy files from NTFS-formmated volumes (no write). Supposedly it supports writing to FAT32 volumes, but I can't even get it to open a FAT32-formatted VHD file, it thinks it's unformatted. And it doesn't support mounting VHD files to a drive letter, you have to use its interface, so I can't use Beyond Compare or other utility with it. I have seen people posting how VHDMount works so great for them, I am wondering if there is anything obvious I am doing wrong, or if it has to do with my antivirus (McAfee's AOL edition), which does not seem to allow me to make VHD files "exempt" from virus scanning. Any help appreciated! ---------- Articles: Double clicking on a VHD to mount it (take 2) http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2007/06/20/double-clicking-on-a-vhd-to-mount-it-take-2.aspx Playing with the final version of VHDMount http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2007/06/18/playing-with-the-final-version-of-vhdmount.aspx Using VHDMount under Windows XP http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2006/09/05/740763.aspx Downloads: Download Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 today http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/bb738033.aspx Download or Order Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition for Free http://www.microsoft.com/technet/virtualserver/software/default.mspx WinImage utility http://winimage.com/winimage.htm Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818778

    - long filenames shown as 8.3 with tildes after XP3 Hi, just upgraded to XP3 seemingly successfully. There is a BUT. My most important application for digital asset management (photos) named 'iView Media Pro' (meanwhile Exression Media by Microsoft) suddenly shows filenames in the old 8.3 notation. I went to check the code page conversion tables and found that there are many entries in the list that I cannot deselect, those are faded out. Those not faded out I can easily select or deselect. I guess that these 2 problems got to have something in common. Just what? How would I be able to restore the freedom of selection for all code pages conversions? For example a foldername changed as follows: 03_04 Coyote Buttes North has changed to 03_04C~1 (even spaces got stripped) and the filename like this: IMG00234-00246.tif has changed to IMG002~6.tif This does not happen using the explorer. It happens only with iView Media Pro. So you might say I should go to another forum, well yes if there were not the problem with the list of faded itmes in the code page conversion tables. Any advice and feedbacl is highly appreciated. Cheers, Hans. Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818735

Whenever the updates come out, she isn't able to have them automatically applied and it seems to be related to the Windows Validation utility.

I upgraded her to XP SP3 in hopes that would fix it but it started happening yet again. Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818694

    - Video clip problem TIA Just recently I have been getting problems from some video clips. When I try to click on them to run on WMP or any other player I am shunted out of that particular folder back to Desktop. I have three hdd's each partitioned & regardless where I copy the folder containing the problem video clips the same thing occurs. I have them (video clips etc) usually set to open with WMP but right now they won't sit still long enough to change anything. I did manage to get one playing on WMP but by sheer pot luck. Could it be caused by another software (I change stuff around a lot software-wise but nothing new) I have Blaze DVD player too but have had that for yonks too with nothing like this going on. Any help most gratefully received. Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818688

    - recovering encrypted files with encryption key via network client Hello, any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, background to the problem: My Win XP pro system is refusing to boot up, giving me an "unmountable boot volume error", probably having been corrupted by a botched registry clean. chkdsk /r and fixboot commands in the recovery console failed to fix the problem. however, I have managed to gain access to my hard disk content using an ubuntu live disk. I've also managed to set up a network connection between the faulty system running ubuntu as a server and another computer running XP pro as client. I'm trying to backup my files so that I can do a clean reinstall of windows on the faulty system. I have a number of encrypted folders and files (encrypted using the XP pro EFS encryption option) on the hard disk of the faulty system. I have my encryption key file at hand, backed up and accessible to me on the client computer. However, I don't think I ever set up EFS file sharing for the encrypted folders/files, nor did I designate any recovery agent. The problem is that whenever I try opening or copying the encrypted files, whether from within ubuntu on the faulty system, or from the XP client computer, I get an access denied message. I've tried using the backup application from the client computer with the hopes of being able to restore the files using my encryption key, but I'm still getting the same access denied message. When I right click on the encrypted files, accessed through the network from the client computer, I don't get the option to open the advanced options to un-encrypt the files... I do have full access to all the non-encrypted files on the same HD. So it seems the access denied message is due to the encryption. Surely, if I have the encryption key, there must be a way to access my files. Can anybody give me some pointers? Many thanks in advance, Florent Giehmann Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818678

We are sorry for the inconvenience. etc., etc. This is mainly occurring with Mozilla Seamonkey and Windows Explorer with othet programmes occassionally reporting this problem.

    - reinstalling xp pro I was having problems with an unstable system so decided to reload OS. Backed up my documents and settings folder with all users. Can someone verify to copy everything under the documents and settings folder that the following is correct. xcopy c:\documents and settngs\*.* to d:\backup 18_08_2008 /s/h/r/c I then reinstalled xp which reset my documents and settings folder back to default. I then restored the documents and settngs backup from drive d back to c, but the desktop is now empty. Microsoft Office needs to be reinstalled, I don't have any of my outllook messages, contacts etc. I have checked under file explorer and I can see my favourites list and my desktop list so they are there. They just aren't displaying when I log in under my ID. As part of the reinstall, I was asked to put in the people that would be using the computer, so those profiles were created. Should I have restalled the documents and settings and then created the users. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Wayne Tag: how to create local group from command line Tag: 818631

I think I can create a user with the net user command what about a local
group with specified domain ID/groups?

net group <aLclGrpname> /add
net group <aLclGrpname> <domain\usrID> /add

what is the /domain switch for? if omit that /domain, would <groupname>
apply to the group being local?
