I'm using the camera wizard to transfer JPGs from my camera's compact flash card (using a USB card reader) to my PC's hard disk (XP SP2). The speeds I get are slow, around 10 Mbs (looks like USB 1.1). However, if I open a DOS window, and use the "copy" command, I get over 100 Mbs. Also, if I use Adobe Bridge to copy from the card reader, I get over 100 Mbs. My BIOS is all setup for USB 2.0. Any ideas why the wizard is so slow?

I am trying to Reinstall XP, i cannot find the so called 386 Directory (Folder) on my Hard Disk. This is an HP Pavillion desktop and XP came preinstalled and i did not get a CD. I have the XP cd key. This desktop does not have a floppy drive either so i cant make boot disk. Ive also tried hitting f10 during boot up which shows as the key to enter recovery mode but i just get beeping sound and every time I press it and it does nothing but boot up as normal.How can i reinstall it.

Apparently, I have a nonexistant "ghost" program taknig up half of my hard disk. The Add or Remove Programs task cannot find or uninstall it. What can I do to overcome this problem and free up half of my hard drive???? -- Bob Balmer

After reloading XP, I added some fonts to use with Adobe CS3. I don't recall replacing or deleting any fonts, but when I was finished, I immediately noticed a different font on Craigslist. This is not one of the fonts I added. Bottom line, I have no idea how this font changed. I would like to get things back to normal again with as little pain as possible. Here's what Craigslist looks like in IE7. http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/7583/craigslistap2.gif

I have lost my ability to view "Buttons" on my e-mail and only see the "Hand" which tells me that a button is there . Is there something I must do to the system file? John

I used to get an option menu when inserting a CD, or a memory card in the card reader, to see a slide show, etc. I no longer get that option menu. I think that I probably may have accidently hit the Do Not Show Again button. How can I restore that menu option. Roland rburgan@up.net

Brief Summary: We had a Windows 2000 DC that was a Terminal Server Licensing box, which distributed CALs to our Windows 2000 Terminal Server users. Recently, we have demoted all Windows 2000 DC and installed 3 new Windows 2003 DC's. Therefore, the Terminal Server Licensing on the former Windows 2000 DC ceased to work. I had to installed a Terminal Server Licensing on one of our Windows 2003 DC this morning, because none of our users were able to connect to our Windows 2000/2003 terminal servers. I was able to obtain new Windows 2003 CALs thru Microsoft and everyting worked out fine. Previously, we've purchased 400 Windows 2000 and 275 Windows 2003, termi…

Ok, I'm signed on as admin, I have been elevated as admin (Run as Administrator) on the services console. So when I select SNMP Trap there is no security tab. I have been here before but unfortunately I can't recall the route and the birds ate my bread crumbs. Anyone recall the way to get the security tab to show up? -- Paul Bergson MVP - Directory Services MCTS, MCT, MCSE, MCSA, Security+, BS CSci 2008, 2003, 2000 (Early Achiever), NT4 http://www.pbbergs.com Please no e-mails, any questions should be posted in the NewsGroup This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Since installing SP3 last week - Outlook Express keeps on asking about compacting my messages over and over while OE is open. Is this a known problem?

Internet Explorer 7 is a total disgrace. It provides for security not requested, and if it had some efficiency it would be nice, but it is taking minutes to go from one window to the next! On the other hand it has converted my screen into its private billboard. It pops up instructions at every turn. Unless somebody can advice me how to permanently kill off the pop-ups and a how to drastically improve its performance I am going back to version 6. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Alvaro

Hello, I've got a friend running XP Home SP2 and when he creates an new user account it doesn't allomw him to login to that account. It doesn't matter if he adds a password or not. If he doesn't add a password, it still asks for one. If he adds a password and then tries to enter that password to login, it doesn't accept it. Why would this happen? How can I fix it for him? Thanks, Jeff

We have a server running Windows Server 2003 Std Ed 64-bit w/ 4GB of RAM. Last night, I ran a batch file that would clear up files in a folder that were older than 1 year using the forfiles command. Earlier this morning, we got an alert from our monitoring app saying memory was low. Out of the 4GB of physical memory only 70MB were remaining. The batch file was still running so I killed it but now the amount of free physical RAM is staying well below 100MB when normally it would hover around the 2.0GB range. Is there anyway for me to see what exactly is hogging up my memory. Task Manager numbers for the processes do not add up. Please help

Hi All, Posting in both SBS and general server as this applies to both. I've a transition-packed SBS 2003 server, and I need to understand the different types of certificates involved in Domain usage. For example, yesterday I setup a linux server that makes LDAPS requests to our SBS server for authentication, all worked fine. Today its failing, and when I examined the LDAPS traffic I can see it believes the certificate has expired. Checking the certificate identified, I find it actually has, on the 7 Aug 08. The certificate in question is based on the Domain Controller (DomainController) template in the SBS CA. Theres a three of those certificat…

Questions: 1. I just found that I only have restore points back to the first week of August, but my computer was received in late June and I have been installing things right along. There is a checkbox that says to check it to get restore points older than 5 days, but that only displays a few more restore points. How do I get it to save restore points older than a few weeks. 2. Is there a way to edit the registry or have it "repaired" for standard Microsoft features that does not require reverting to an older version and losing EVERYTHING you have done as far as installs? Background: Several things do not work as they should and the solution is always to…

Hope this is the right place to ask. Is there a way to get Task Scheduler to run overdue events, events scheduled to run when the machine was turned off, as soon as the machine is turned on again or as soon as possible? Windows XP Pro if that matters. I just can't find how. Thanks for any help.
