Legacy Operating Systems

I have scheduled tasks configure with the LocalAdmin account and they run fine either being logon or not. However, I need these tasks to run under a less priviledge UserAccount and they need to run even when the user does not logon. What permissions do I need to give to the UserAccount? Thanks

Currently we are seeing a memory leak occuring in svchost process via Task Manager in Windows 2003 sp1.

Anybody have any idea how to overcome this issue. Thanks -- Alex Loh --------------------------------------------------------…

I am getting an error when restarting XP "Stop: C0000135 {Unable to Locate Component} This application has failed to start because of basefgwph32 was not found." Any solutions to fix this?

Is there a way to prevent the redirected printers in a client session from displaying a number which changes after the word "redirected"? This is causing an issue with applications that remember the name of the last printer used. The application might remember "redirected 2" and the next time a client connects the print job fails because it is now called redirected 3". -- Thanks!

I just reinstalled my OS (XP-SP3 with all current updates) on my laptop and when I went to configure my Power Options, it will not save any of my changes/additions. BTW, I am signed in as administrator with all rights. I have always created my own custom power options on all of my computers and have never come up against this before so I have no idea…. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Regards,

When I shut down my computer automatically by just pushing the on button to turn off I get a window that says MCCWSAWINDOW and it will sit like that forever if I let it. I have to click the ok button to close this window then my laptop turns off. What is the solution to getting rid of this window? AND, what is this window related to? -- pj

I have a client with three logical partitions on a single SATA disk. The original OS partition (C:) is 10 GB and is getting full. I'm planning to install a new disk and move the data on one of the logical partitions (E:) to the new disk. I'd like to reclaim the space in the emptied partition (E:) and make it part of C. I can't seem to find a software utility (e.g. Partition Magic) that supports such operations on SATA disks in Windows Server 2003. Anyone got a recommendation? TIA. Mark Peters

I write a lot of Word programs (Office 2000) in which I am inserting photos, etc. Of late, I am receiving virtual memory warnings, the system saying that I am low on virtual memory, and that it is going to have to increase same. My programs are not terminated, however. I have a 200 gig hard drive (C:) with 260 MB of RAM. There is 87% free space, and my Word files are only a few meg, or so, in size. Virtual memory on my C drive is set for 400-450 MB. I read in the HELP section that the pagefile.sys should preferably not be located on the same drive with other system files. Since I have another hard drive (E: 4 gig free), I set up a file on that drive (450…

I've just installed a server fax running on Win 2008. I realize that each user can see only own faxes. I want that all user can see the outgoing queue. Is it possible? Regards

I have a mysterious problem on my Vista Business SP1 - Danish When I try to connect to one of our Windows 2008 servers, mstsc hangs on the Vista. I have tried to run the mstsc as an administrator and with the /admin but with no luck. I can connect smoothly to our Windows 2003 servers - it is only the 2008 servers that is giving me the struggle. The problem is as follows: I start the mstsc with windows key+R then run the command mstsc /admin. The start window is showing up, and I type in the server i want to connect to, then i choose "Another account" and type in my admin username with domain prefix and password. Now the mstsc window stops running (no…

I have been using Nero backup for 2 years, to make two backup DVDs a week. About a month ago it was making a backup disk, burnt it OK, but hung up during the data verification stage. I came to the computer two hours later and the DVD burner was still spinning. The computer was so hung up that in order to clear the hang I had to pull the power cord. After that, I re-loaded the Nero suite, re-set-up my two backup jobs (each about 3 gB), set one of them up to run right away, and it hung up again. I have checked the backup disks and they seem to contain the proper data. So the program still writes the backups OK. It's just that it does not complete…

I have seen an more cases lately where files on a server share (2003 r2) say they are currently in use when this does not appear to be the case. I have had users complain about this as well. In some cases I am very doubtfull that someone actually does have them opened since no one else should even have right to open. Excel files and word files... maybe even some autocad files. any suggestions?

I tried to install adobe flash player to my Windows XP SP2 laptop by following the steps. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=DINNK However, after I press "Agree and install now", I moved into http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/flash/trigger/en/1/index.html However, I didn't see the golden bar at the top such as "The site might require the following ActiveX control ...". No message shows anything was blocked. Nothing! It is wierd, and I guess my registration table might be modified by some software without my attention. Any idea to solve my problem? Thank you very much.

Calculator is missing from my computer. I am running XP Media Center Edition. I have searched for Calc.exe in Systems 32 and then ran a general search. I believe I deleted the program by accident, thinking it was something else. Anyone have a way that I can download the software?

Hi, I'm having this problem since a few weeks now and just can't get around it. I have WinXP SP3 on two laptops. I can use VPN PPTP to connect to a particular server on one laptop but not on the other. The problematic laptop gives me a message error 628: The connection was terminated by the remote computer before it could be completed. For further assistance, click More Info or search Help and Support Center for this error number. I tried reinstalling WinXP on this laptop and the VPN worked fine on a fresh install of windows only to give the same problem again after a while. Anyone ever had the same weird problem? I don't think its related to firewa…

I partitioned the harddisk into two parts and have set up a dual boot system with two separate operating systems. Normally there should be two lines in the boot screen so that one can select one of the two systems. In my case there should appear as below: Windows 2000 I Windows 2000 II with clock counting This time, for some unknown reasons, there appears three lines as below: Windows 2000 I Windows 2000 II Windows 2000 (Default) There, "Windows 2000 (Default)" is hilighted and If I don't move to another, the computer clashes. Also there is no clock counting the preset time. If I select "Windows 2000 I" or "Windows 2000 II", it proceeds to boot …

I had a trial version of Microsoft Office 2007. I can't get on with it and most of my clients aren't on it so it isn't of much use to me. I decided to uninstall it through the control panel. I obviously haven't managed to do this properly as it still features in the list of programmes, although I can't access any of the components. Since then, the Windows Installer keeps popping up telling me it is preparing to Install (it never specifies what it thinks it is going to do!). It often appears if I try and do anything in Outlook, but also in other Office applications. It causes the whole system to hang and eventually crash. When I try and open a 20…

Many users of the Internet believe that because of the billions of users, they are protected from malicious attacks. These people apparently fail to understand the WHAT, HOW, WHY some of these attack activities occur. Others believe that the protections offered by the OSs somehow keeps these malicious activities from occurring. Hackers LOVE these people, they are the "meat and potatoes" of the hacker world. I've posted things like "clickjacking", linked sites, SSI {server-side includes}, embedded code, and other methods in this group, however, there still seems to be a lack of comprehension of certain points. Here's a link to one site which deals with so…

I have a Windows 2003 64bit TS server and before you suggest using the 2x secure RDP tool, it doesn't work on a 64bit system. I am looking to apply log on restrictions where users cannot log in on my terminal server after a certain period of time. Is there any way to do that via Group Policy or other method that only affects log ons to the terminal server? Also, can I restrict the domain account from being able to log in via TS only (don't think so)?

Is there some way to remove no longer used notification items from the Taskbar and Start menu properties? I mean that place you find when you --- Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of the desktop, (click Properties), (click Hide inactive icons), (click Customize) then look in (Past Items). In that place there is a antivirus 2009 folder, which is a virus I already removed from my computer, and that is the only thing I am not able to remove. I don't want to download any more softwares to remove it. I've already done that. I just want to know if there is a way to remove things from that place on my own. -- emm
