Legacy Operating Systems

Anyone knows about some key combination that would automatically finish the folder names as you typing them in? I've seen someone doing it but I couldn't get a good look at the key combination he was using.

An Epson TM-T88IIIP printer is connected to my local (client) computer running windows XP. I can print to it using port ESDPRT001 with description LPT1. When I remote using windows remote desktop to my server which is a Dell Poweredge 830 running windows server 2003 R2 64, I cannot print. I have read that any port that does not begin with COM, LPT, or USB are not redirected using remote desktop. Do you have any suggestions for me to be able to print? I do have another printer that uses port DOT4_001 and is a multifunction printer. I can print to this printer when I use remote desktop. Derek

Below is the warning message i got in the event viewer of my DC1: The zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa was previously loaded from the directory partition MicrosoftDNS but another copy of the zone has been found in directory partition ForestDnsZones.unicem.com.ng. The DNS Server will ignore this new copy of the zone. Please resolve this conflict as soon as possible. If an administrator has moved this zone from one directory partition to another this may be a harmless transient condition. In this case, no action is necessary. The deletion of the original copy of the zone should soon replicate to this server. If there are two copies of this zone in two differ…

Hello! I called Lexmark and asked if the X5270 had terminal server compatible drivers for Windows Server 2003. I got a tech who seemed confused when I mentioned terminal server, but he did find a 2003 driver. When pressed to tell me if it was TS-compatible, he hesitated, asked someone else, and then said it was compatible. Due to the nature of the conversation and the hesitancy in his voice, I decided to ask here for real-world experience. So, does anyone know if the drivers for the Lexmark X5270 are really compatible with TS 2003, or perhaps which printer map I can use safely? Some Google searches have said to try an HP LaserJet 4 driver, but this …

Several of my software applications have Related Topic buttons. To use an example, the HELP files, at the top of the subject matter will have links for Examples, See Also, etc. The purpose, you click on the related topic button and see additional information. All of my applications that have this feature are NOT showing the Related Topic link. They show a little square box (similar to an html page when a graphic is not there). At first I thought it was the application but when I see many of the applications doing this, I figure it must be the Windows environment causing the problem. Anyone have any idea? -- Thank You, Sam

I am using Windows Server 2003. I really like the recently used programs section of the Start Menu, but I notice that certain Microsoft applications do not appear as they should. My understanding is that as the more an application is used, the higher it appears on the list. I use Microsoft Visual Source Safe and Microsoft Visual Source Safe Administrator quite often, but Administrator keeps dropping off the list. I have even removed items from the bottom of the list until it appears again, but then it disappears the next time I look for it. I also have determined that HTML Help Image Editor NEVER appears on the recently used program list. Never. I have re…

I am working on a Win XP Pro. I have admin rights and there is a limited profile. On the limited profile desktop there is an icon for a program (program not needed to be mentioned at this time) This program points to and is in the application data folder. I did not install this program. It is not on the admin desktop nor is it in the add/remove or the program files folder. What is the Application data folder and can a limited user install a program? For now I am trying to understand this folder and am looking further into this program.

Re: Regarding Cluster server doubt. Once you wipe your 2000 domain controller you will loose all accounts even when you recreate them with the same names, it will not work. What you should have is 2 DC's, then upgrade one by one, maintaining your AD/Domain at all times. as this is more a Server question, I am X-posting into microsoft.public.windows.server.general "Alexyy" <Alexyy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:50B42C8A-1EA2-4871-AFFE-1B56235F4AEB@microsoft.com... > Hi All, > > I need a clarification with regard to windows 2000 server domain > controller upgrade to Windows 2003 domain controller. > > I h…

I just burned a copy of a folder containing folders containing image files to a CD using RecordNow. Instead of getting a copy of what's on my C drive, the usual icons have been replaced by the IE icon in all but the thumbnail view. But even there, all the usual folder icons and the image file thumbnails have the IE icon superimposed on them! Yuk!! How do I prevent this? How do I get a copy of what's on my C drive without the IE icon showing up? I have repeated the copy process several times and get the same result. Never had this problem before. I have Windows XP Professional SP2 running on an HP Pavilion 734n. Thank you. ray124c41

G'day all my proxy/internet server (2003 service pack 2) runs a product called Clearswift Mimesweeper that uses NT authentication to validate user data for instigation of rulesets and reporting. We seemm to have a problem with some users the proxy server is using a different DC to the users PC to authenticate and this is then stopping the users from surfing the web when authentication fails. The prtoblem appears to be that the proxy server is using a remote (WAN) DC to Authenticate. Does anyone know how I can force the proxy to authenticate to a particular or is there some software that will work? Thanks

I had to do a new installation of XP, i installed the wireless adapter to pick up my internet (6) and i can see the wireless network, but i noticed that it said 'connected to wireless but cannot find the internet' - (APIPA) given. Released/Renewed IP but would not renew. Disconnected Wireless USB, put back in and it found the internet for one minute then lost it again. Have tried everything with DNS, checked the router settings for MAC filtering etc to no avail. Have not encountered this before. NB It is XP SP1 / IE6, havent been able to install SP2 yet. Does anybody have any idea what it could be Many thanks

I need activex to view assignments from school online but I don't have that option in the bar at the top. The only options available relate to pop-ups. On my old hard drive, the option for active x was usually there. I don't remember downloading it or even paying for it. I have a new hard drive now and active x isn't available. I thought about downloading it but I don't trust the sites. Why isn't active x available? Is it something you download? If so, which site do I download it from?

Hello If Windows 2003 Server Domain Controller goes down for any reason: a)What happens to the servers that are attached as child domains and what happens to all of the mappings to drives? b)How do you make all of the child domain controllers that are attached to the domain controller restore their connections and their mappings once the domain controller is brought back up?

I want to copy a file to another computer on my local network with a batch command. I wrote this statement in the command file: if not exist \\192.168.1.102\g:\Lotus\work\AAccounts.APR goto :end When I run the command file, I get an error message that the "drive not found." ":end" is a label in the batch file. The machine at 192.168.1.102 is accessible from my machine using Explorer. Should the drive letter have a "$" sign after it, as in g$? Doesn't help. Thanks.

I am on Windowns 2003 but 2000 command should work on 2003 as well. Is there a command which will show me disk usgae sorted by disk space so I can find which files are utilizing most of the space. I do not want to buy any third party tools, looking for a command or something from sysinternals which can be run to get this information. I am a UNIX guy learning Windows. Thanks a lot.

Cannot sign in to messenger or load hotmail sign-in webpage login.live.com Getting Network timeout for hotmail and Msn instant messenger will not work. Tried trillian. It kind of worked, but kept knocking me off every few seconds. What is odd, it works for people that have direct connection but not dial-up. My mothers work can access hotmail. They have wireless access. The two dial up ISP, I tried timed out. I checked my host file, there is nothing that would block it. I tried different browsers and neither worked. Greg

Have just gotten an E-Mail with attachments. When I click on the attachments, I get a message that tells me "there is no file associated with this action. Create an association in Folder Options in Control pannel." My question is, how do I know what type of file the sender used....and how do I know what file association I should use if I don't know what the sender used. If the sender used some form of picture sender, how would I get the message if I used "Word" association? David of IC

Hi, I am new to this discussion group and am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem that has cropped up today when I try to use MS Word. I have been using Windows XP Home Edition successfully since its inception years ago. It was pre-installed on my computer when I bought my computer (new). I run the free edition of AVG anti-virus and anti-spyware, Windows Defender and Spybot Search and Destroy. In all the years I have used my computer I have never had a virus, worm or anything funny. Today, when wanting to use MS Word to type a document, the following message popped up in a typical MS box:- You must accept the End User Licence Agreement …

At several TS installations I have the same problem. When a user sets a default printer in their Terminal Server session, it does not remain set as their default printer after they have logged off and logged back on. Any thoughts on how to make that stay? Thanks, --David

When I try to access the Services and Event Viewer task in the Administrative Tools Folder, I get the message "Access is Denied". Would you know how to fix this problem. The last time I used these tasks was last month when I did the Microsoft Patch Update. I check the Security setting on these files and it show that the local Admin and Domain Admin has Full Rights.

I get to the Adobe Flash Player download page, and then, nothing. The page just stares back at me like, "What? Expect me to do something?" No bar appears at the top of the site due to a possible blocked pop-up needing to be authorized or anything. No, "If your download doesn't start click here." No further options. Nuthin'! Clues? -- ME
