I was trying to download 2009 panda global security into my system. I currenlty have the 2008 version and I was renewing my service. I can download the software but when I try to activate my services I get a message that pops up re: apvxdwin.exe is missing then I get a message of vcl50.bpl can't run because apvxdwin.exe is missing. I tryed to run apvxdwin.exe but it's unable to locate component. The application failed to start because VCL50.BPL was not found. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I don't know a lot about computers I just learn as I run into problems. I was having problems with spyware that may be in a compressed file but I have no ide…

Purchased HP wireless mouse 9/4 and setup consisted of plugging in USB transmitter and away I went. Today the mouse batteries died and I replaced them. No matter what I did, could get no recognition that the PC recognized the mouse. Called HP and after about 2 1/2 hours got to right department. Actually one call they wanted $ to test my system, and all this over a $26 mouse. Item is warranted for 1 year and tomorrow they will call me so a new can be obtained. Hoping someone reading this might offer a testing suggestion. Using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Presently using old wired PS2 mouse. Man this wireless stuff is great!!

I frequent these NG's a lot and still cannot figure out why they changed how posts are listed and how active topics are dealt with. I see on the right side is the supposed improvement listing active older topics. I see in here, 3 topics that are spam and only have 1 author and no replies. How are these active? I sometimes have to go back many pages to find topics that have had several replies in the last 24 hours, but are not in the list on the right. How is this an improvement? Please go back to the way it was done and post topics in order as they are authored or replied to. The spam will die out faster that way. I am not sure who to complain to so may…

Hi all, I am quite new to Windows server administration, but not new to Windows or IT in general (always used unix/linux servers in the past). My server layout is as follows (all Win2k3 Sever RC2 SP2): Active Directory/Domain Controller 1 Active Directory/Domain Controller 2 (backup for 1) Terminal Server 1 Terminal Server 2 Terminal Server 3 Terminal Server 4 SQL Reporting & TS Staging Server There is also a Linux RedHat server hosting the database/business system. I am intending to add printers to the Active Directory list, but I need a little guidance. I'm assuming I don't install them on the terminal servers directly, but install them ce…

My font folder is full of foreign fonts that I did not install. I think maybe it was done through Windows updates and Word updates. Can I remove these fonts? Which fonts must I maintain in my OS? I do desktop publishing and need lots of fonts of different varieties at different times, any ideas? Thank you, Joan

I am getting service timeout errors for the SharedAccess service being reported in event viewer. On investigation I found that the service is not listed in the list of active services but there is an entry for it in the registry. I understand that the SharedAccess service is for the firewall and Internet Connection Sharing. I use a third party firewall (Zone Alarm) and do not use ICS, so I assume that this is why the service is not running. The question is why am I getting reported errors when I am not using the functions that rely on this service? Any help would be appreciated.

What is the best setting to make Windows Vista look like Windows XP ?? James

Ever since I purchased this printer my system at startup runs much slower. Wondering if anyone else has noticed that?

I have an odd issue. the scenario is this. i have a server (A) connected to a UPS that is set to run a batch file when the battery power gets to some predetermined level. THis batch file is a remote shutdown command to bring down the another server (B) connected to the UPS. As part of the test i send a command line email before and after the remote shutdown command so that i know that it has run. Now the remote shutdown command runs properly when i test it on the Server (A) and both emails are sent. When i test it on the UPS, the emails are sent but the remote shutdown command fails. I cannot understand why, it is obvious that the command is running bu…

Windows XP Home, SP3. I am running out of space on my 16GB C: drive. I only have 1.58 GB left. I have plenty of vacant space on my 58.8GB D: drive (40.6 GB free). Whenever possible I install new programs to the D: drive. I have moved a lot of old programs files from the C: drive to the D: drive and then used a registry checker to move the registry addresses to the new drive. My C:\Documents and Settings Folder has 3.81GB of files. I am hoping to move the whole D&S folder to the D: drive to free up those 3.81 GBs of space on C:. Can this be done? -- Bill

I've got XP Pro on my Dell Inspiron 8600 (SP 2 but same problem after I got SP3) I upgraded the hard drive with a 160GB Western Digital Scorpio Drive in November 2007. All sources called it compatible and all had been well until now. New RAM card a month ago - again confirmed compatible, and, to date, not implicated. Problem: after shutting down, computer will not reboot. After the Dell splash screen, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor and I can not type. Quick diagnostics give me the error: DST Short Test Fail Error 1000-0142 Unit 4: Drive Self Test Failed Status byte 79 Repeats of the above test now tell me: DST Short Test Fail …

In both, outlook express and wordperfect, when I try to write, at every few letter-hits, the cursor suddenly, inexplicably jumps backward to insert the intended letters into already written texts. I have tried everything to avoid it (e.g. writing slowly, one letter at- a-time). Nothing works. Any advice or ideas about how to fix this?? Laptop HP Pavillium XP Thanks Boticelli

Hi, I have servers that have been patched in the past with the DST patches provided by Microsoft but then I came across http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951072 the other day. Do I need to apply this DST patch to my servers that have all ready been patched? Are there any implications of applying this to a Windows 2003 server that has already been patched in the past? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I tried to send a message to a website "contact us" form. At the end of the form I was asked to type in two words from a dialog box, matching what I saw, then hit the continue button to send the message. I keep getting a pop-up dialog box, I assume from Windows, telling me: ! category requires a value. No attempts to redo the typing will keep me from getting the same pop-up message. What can I do to send the message? I am running Windows XP. Thanks.

my HD is partitioned in drive C: for programs and D: for my files. C is now full and when I defragment I get a list of about 20 files that cannot be defragmented. They are all large files with 114MB. File names are: \WINDOWS\Installer\e0128c.msp or ...\44c009.msp etc File extensions are all .msp When I try to locate them for deletion, they do not show up. Any idea what and where they are and how I can get rid of them to make more space on C: ? Thanks for any tips
