Legacy Operating Systems

I am currently running Windows XP Media Center 2005 and am having problems with my usb devices. My printer and MP3 player were working fine up to recently, now my system says something is plugged in but does not recognize anything. I have tried the supposed "HOT FIX", unplugging & plugging in every device, and the suspending power fixes to no avail. Can anybody help me out? Apparently from what I read, SP3 fixes this problem, but alas there is problems installing that as well. HELP ME!! I had made no changes to any programs or hardware prior to this. I even ran an AVG Anti-virus scan to make sure everything was clean. -- Doug D.(puzzled)

Our site is testing and will eventually migrate to AD on Server 2003. I've had the client machines set up with a scheduled task to shut down nightly at 10:10PM using Run As local Admin. A couple of test machines we've joined to AD no longer shut down.As far as I can tell, the local admin account no longer does it's job and the scheduled task no longer runs. What's the easiest way to set this up via AD? Cheers. - Thee Chicago Wolf

I have created a form which I have filed in my documents it was created in power point. I now want to print this document but I would like to print it so it prints the text and lines in blue. Is this possible since it was drawn originally in black text and boxes?

Hi - I have a folder that contains about 250,000 zipped files. Windows explorer is having tremendous difficulty opening such folder, even when it displays results (after 10 or so minutes) it hangs after I even highlight any files for deletion. a lot of these files go back to 2006 and 2007. I kindly NEED a DOS batch file or some script that I would enable me to delete the files that are older than may 2008 (In other words delete files between May 2008 and May 2006). Thank You, and your efforts are much appreciated in advance. wiseteufel -- Message posted via WinServerKB.com http://www.winserverkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/windows-server/200809/1

I just wanted to say my firmest thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has suffered today. 7 years ago, my older brother Tom had his friend killed. Our Super John had his nephew killed. This will always be a rough and sad time of the year for me. May this September 11, be filled with kindness, strength, gentleness and patience for all. May the Higher Power have Mercy on Us All.

Re: Error DCOM 10010 An old post but thought I'd mention how I solved this as the process may help someone even if the fault is different. This was the error: "The server {204810B9-73B2-11D4-BF42-00B0D0118B56} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout." I searched the registry for the {...} reference and found the key: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{204810b9-73b2-11d4-bf42-00b0d0118b56}" I searched for this and found Microsoft info explaining that it "registers the COM coclass for the UPnPRegistrar interface." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms907987.aspx) I was lucky because the same info gave a sub-key which was missing from the r…

The reason I ask is because for some reason the two have been disabled in my domain controller Administrator account in Windows 2000 SP4. Luckily I made duplicate Administrator equivalent accounts when I first constructed this machine so not all is lost but I would like to get back the control for the original Administrator account. I believe something happened to a Group Policy or Local Security or Domain security or Controller security or some other security or NTFS securuity or ...

hello all. I have a windows server 2003 enterprise x64 that is used as a dc and another one, a member server, that is used as a terminal server. the terminal server is in the domain. my client computer is a windows vista ultimate. all updates, hot-fixes and latest service-packs are installed on all the machines. my problem is that i can't rdp to the terminal server when I'm outside the office and using VPN connection. inside the LAN everything works great. i can rdp to the dc and then, from within the dc, rdp to the terminal server. i can't to the rdp directly to the terminal.

Hi, In my VSS requestor code, I am interested in knowing the Database files and log file volumes/files used by SQL database. Currently, we are using method, IVssWMComponent::GetComponentInfo to get the information about the SQL database component. But what we are seeing is cDatabases and cLogFiles values in VSS_COMPONENTINFO are zero. With these values being zero we are not calling methods, IVssWMComponent::GetDatabaseFile or IVssWMComponent::GetDatabaseLogFile With cFileCount I am able to get the list all all the files but not getting which are for database and which are for logs. And with SQL Server 2008, do not know which are for FileStream ? Is th…

Hi all. Can anyone give me a sample script on how to automate software installation upon login to domain.

Man do I have a problem! When I try booting into XP it will get up to the point where the logon screen should apper, and it doesn't. I just get to the blue screen (not to be confused w/the BSOD) but it never gets to the point where it says 'Welcome" and I can log in. There is a mouse cursor there that I can move around but nothing else, not even disk activity. Nada, zip, zilch. I've tried safe mode, safe mode w/networking. safe mode w/command prompt, last known good configuration, debug, etc. all but the one for Domain Controllers. Done the 3 fingered salute (Ctrl+Alt+Del) to bring up the other login screen. I've booted from cd's that allow access to NTFS…

Hi, My son's PC, running XP Home edition, started splitting the display screen between his Background choice and about 1/3rd of the panel on the left (vertical) is now set to show "Folder tasks, Other Places and Details" (all expandable).
