Legacy Operating Systems

I don't have enough money to buy a bigger hard-drive and I'm almost out of disk space, is there a way to delete/remove SP1 & SP2 and just use SP3? Can someone please explain the process to do this? Thank you.

I used to be able to start Remote Desktop in a mode where the connection bar at the top of the screen disappeared, except when I put the mouse point at the top of the screen, when it would reappear. But I did something yesterday which messed that up. Now the connection bar disappears as soon as I log on, and I can't get it back. When I start Remote Desktop, I go into Options/Display and I un-check the box labeled "Display the connection bar when in full screen mode". Any suggestions.

Somehow without knowing it, I've enlarged my screen size so that when I'm on any websites, they are enlarged and don't fit on the viewing screen ... I have to scroll over to see the right margin, etc. I have tried fixing font size in the control panel, but it doesn't help. I also tried using the zoom feature on the tools drop down menu, but it is a temporary fix at best. Could anyone please help with this? Thanks! -- Barb

I manage to install and configure the POP3 service that is included with Windows Server 2003 now I am able to send and receive email on my local network but I don’t know how to configure it to send and receive internet mail as well. Yeas I know that I should use exchange but I really want to learn how to configure this one in order to understand the basics.

Hello NG! I haven't found an other more specific NG on the question I want to ask. That's why I'm going to ask my question here. Can I restore an image of my pc with Microsoft Virtual PC so I'll find everything as I left it? I know it's said to function but I hardly can think it's true. I have reinstalled Window several times after hard drive failures or on new computers as well. I made backups of my files and I'm also familiar with restoring these files. Only thing are program settings I had to restore manually, which was getting tiring today ( due to the number of programs installed ). Steve

I dragged a folder from my D-drive to a memstick drive. Like all other Microsoft Windows systems I used, I expected this drag to copy the folder. Instead, it moved the folder. How can I get the copying behaviour that I'm more use to? I know that Ctrl-drag performs the copying that I want, but I consider it unsafe to have move behaviour in response to an action that normally performs a copy.

When I archive photos downloaded material to DVD, I need the folder structure in Windows Explorer printed on the surface of the DVD. Is there any way to copy and paste the exploded folder structure from Explorer to a printer so as to print this on a DVD? This would save a lot of labelling. Please help, Frank

I am getting the blue screen Stop: C000021a {Fatal System Error} Logon Process terminated error upon boot. There were some viruses on the PC which were removed in safe mode with AVG. However, I think the lsass.exe was terminated in the task manager during the process. Any Ideas? Would the lsass.exe file cause this stop error? Thanks.

Greetings, Due to miscellaneous problems, I just reformated my hard drive and re-installed the OS from disks. Unfortunately, in spite of the fact that the BIOS indicates that sound functionality is enabled, the hardware menu under the system folder does not show the sound hardware and or drivers. Perhaps the built-in sound card has gone bad? Or is anyone else aware of any BIOS/OS parameter and/or installation I can execute to re-add the sound hardware and drivers? Otherwise, any tips on pinpointing the sound card as the faulty component would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. Jean-Pierre

This update fails to install either from the PC when active or when turning the PC off. version: XP Professional SP2 Any hint as to what to do? Thanks, Pierre

All the sudden I get this message when trying to right click and drag a file to a directory on our network: Do you want to move or copy files from this zone? And it has the words Internet Explorer in the upper left hand corner of the dialouge box. Typically when I right click and drag a file to a directory, it gives me the option to copy or cut and so forth...And this is only happening on network drives. It works normally on my local drive. Did I set something that is causing this now? I've rebooted the machine. I'm running XP Pro SP3. I installed SP3 a couple of weeks ago and didn't have this problem then. Just started today. Thanks, Greg

I'm running 2003 server with TS at my office and I would like to change out my LPT printer at home with a Ethernet based printer since USB is not supported. Will I be able to print to a Ethernet printer through my RDP at home? Steve

Having a issue with a Win 2003 R2 server, Server is a DC, Exchange 2003, DNS, DHCP and File and Print server. Issue started about 2 weeks ago users will not be able to get to any shared folders or print. Exchange is still up and running with out a problem so the network card is not the issue. TCP/IP TOE is disabled. I've even completly disabled Symanted Endpoint Protection. But still having the issue. Nothing shows up in application or system logs. So far the only thing I have found is to do a reboot of the server to get it back up and running.

I have the antivirus xp 2008. One microsoft discussion group suggested that one easy way of getting rid of this monster is to go to system tools and create a new system restore point and then restore the system. I tried to do this but the only highlited system restore date for the month of august was today's day at a time after my computer became infected. Is it possible to set another resore point even though no other dates in august are highlited. This virus is reaking disaster on my computer. Thanks in advance/ Al -- al

I want to create a boot CD for my PC with XP. It looks difficult, I'm not an IT wizard but am proficient with tinkering around and following instructions; I have read articles about how to do this and it looks like a) you can create a boot disc - floppy disc version - if you have a floppy drive. If you don't (I don't) you can buy an external floppy drive that links in via a USB. b) OR, you can go through the process of creating a CD which requires some skill. Other tasks linked to this are: Creating a copy of XP files with all your preferences saved including drivers etc...via Slipstreaming. ALso a bit scary and complex to me. I also think …
