Lately when I type in a word or phrase to search for in google, these search suggestions pop up under my typing. I absolutely hate that feature. All it does is steal my focus of what I am typing. I want to block this feature in all browsers (IE and FF). I know that disabling java script works, but I dont want to do that because it interferes with other functions. Is it possible to block this, or do I need to just find a new search engine?

WinXP Pro SP 3 Latest Intellitype app. My 'favorites' keys will not bring up their assigned web sites while I'm using IE7. When I attempt to use them my computer freezes and I must reboot. When applying one of the four assigned keys from a cold boot all is well - I get to the sites I have selected. What must I do to eliminate this annoying situation? -- none

I've been getting for a while these errors on a Windows 2003 domain controller, stating a certain machine believes it's the master browser for the domain, and forcing an election; the errors are recurring, and I'd like to track them down. I've looked around for a while, and the main reasons for this error seem to be 1) routers improperly forwarding UDP packets and/or broadcasts, and 2) a wrong subnet mask on the client computer that's causing the error. The cause can't be 1), because the network is flat and there isn't any router around (apart from the default gateway); so it must be 2). The problem: I have the NetBIOS name of the computer that's caus…

In the Controlpanel > Add or remove programs all the Remove buttons are gone. I use SP3. I have tried several restorepoint with no avail. What can I do except reinstall? -- Regards Peter

Hi My setup is as follows Terminal Server Installed on Windows 2008 Server This server is a member server to the AD which is installed on Windows2003 R2 Users are connecting to TS through RDC 6.0 Redirect printers option enabled in RDC client.

Using Windows XP, SP3 recently installed but I don't think this is the cause. 1. I cannot get OE to block Spam. I've tried setting it to delete it from the server, put it in my Deleted Items folder, delete it etc. but it still turns up in my Inbox?? I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions correctly. 2. I discovered that there is is a newer version of OE (OE7). I was previously using OE6. I downloaded and installed OE7 and restarted the computer when prompted. However, when I open Outlook Express and go to Help - About Microsoft Outlook Express, I'm told that I am still using Outlook Express 6 !! What is going on?????

Currently we've setup our Terminal Server on Windows 2008 server. We have already 5 User CALs which is installed on a existing Terminal Server running on Windows 2003 Server (also the AD domain) My Questions are: How do I transfer the existing CALs to Windows 2008 Terminal Server? Is it possible? or Do I need to setup TS Licensing on Win2008 server and then move the CALs from Win2003 Server? or Do I need purchase fresh CALs for Windows 2008 Server? Any solutions would be appreciated Thanks Prakash

Hi, on some workstations we have a lock down for certain users as to what access they can have for applications. When I go with an admin to change settings it only applies to my profile, and is difficult to keep having to logoff a user and logon again. I have created a batch script to get to a command line, is there an exe command for control panel>region settings and start>run that I can run from a command line? Cheers, Rich

Hello: I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 running Terminal Services. We have a second location that accesses this server via RDP over a VPN. Everything has worked fine for a couple of years. This morning, no one could connect to the server through RDP (either from the remote location or locally). When it fails to connect, it says "your Remote Desktop Session has ended possibly for one of the following reasons : network problem, admin ended the session, an error occurred . . ." I noticed under Terminal Server licensing that the activation status was "NOT ACTIVATED". I went ahead and reinstalled the terminal server CALs. Then, I noticed the C: drive…

Was correcting a problem with Domain server autoenrollment following the support KB article 903220. And after running the "certutil –setreg SetupStatus –SETUP_DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG" command and stoping the certsvc upon trying to start the certsvc i get the error The specified local group does not exist. 0x560 (WIN32: 1376) enabling debug logging for certificate services shows the following before the service dies with the above error 421.445.0: 0x80070560 (WIN32: 1376): CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS 508.2406.0: 0x80070560 (WIN32: 1376) 429.2137.0: 0xffffffff (ESE: -1) 809.78.0: 0x80072095 (WIN32: 8341) 503.1506.0: 0x80070560 (WIN32: 1376) 503.2123.0: 0x…

Hi, When I plugged the drive in "Verbatim Store n Go 1GB" after adding some files to it from another computer, as I have done many times, XP went and installed the drive as something else using different drivers! Now I have uninstalled it, rebooted, inserted the drive again and same result! It now see's it as a "USBest USB2FlashStorage USB Device". Whats going on?? How do I get it back to normal? It shows up in my computer, but when I try to open it, it says "please insert a disk in drive f:". Drive shows up as zero size. Thanks for reading, any info would be great!

Has anyone successfully upgraded Win98se to Windows 2000? If you did, were there any problems? I am considering this. Of course I'll test it out on a backup copy of my Win98 installation. I know the purists will say to start from a fresh installation, but there is now way I will even consider reinstalling 8 years of programs. If it dont work, I'll just stick with 98. -OR- The other option would be to install Win2000 as a dual boot. But if I was to do this, is is possible to import all the installed applications from Win98 without reinstalling all of them? thanks

Hi, We are using delphi ISAPI in our application. It was working fine with Win2003SP1. Once we upgraded to Win2003SP2, the performance was got down. We are using MDAC also 2.8SP1. Is there any patches to improve the performance in Win2003SP2. Please advice. Thanks in advance Rajesh

How can I get Media Player 11 to output sound to the CD Player volume control rather than Wave volume control, especially whilst listening to CDs and Internet radio. The old Win2K CD Player can do this and it's great for separating the audio CD sound from that of Wave Windows sound effects (opening windows etc.) so that the latter don't blast out whilst listening to CDs etc. Thanks Mark

Hi Franc, I DL'd the utils you mentioned, and decided to just go ahead and flash the BIOS with the "990224sj" hacked version. I figured I could always go back. Well, it worked fine and I am now running an AMD K-6 475MHz CPU set at 418 MHZ (or something) on a "300MHz max" board!!! (It runs at 475 as well and MIGHT even run at 500 or 550 but I don't want to overdo things. Better to "underclock" (?) than to overclock in this situation, I think.) It took about 50 reboots, fiddling with the RAM sticks, and several intermittent "windows protection errors" but everything seems OK now. The hacked BIOS is INFINITELY more customizable than the origina…
