We have our windows 2003 server with just the regular remote administration so administrators can log on and check out the server etc. Every once in a while RDP to this particular server just stops working. when you go into the server there are no obvious errors but the following is true: 1. Terminal Services is started but the option to stop or restart is grayed out 2. RPC service as well is the same issue 3. If you go into the Terminal Service manager and try to reset the RDP-TCP listener you get the following error Session ID (65536) reset Failed Error 5 - Access is denied and yes I am logged on as the domain admin in this case:) This doesnt …

Hi i have a Dell Dimension 9150 desktop. I was having problems with slow startup of Windows Xp Media Centre and IE7 keeping locking up. So Dell recommended i restore my PC to factory Default by Ctrl and F8. I carried out the above, and then the PC was back to the same as the first day i received the PC. I connected to the internet and carried out all the Windows XP and driver updates. I was still having problems with IE7 locking up so therefore installed IE8 Beta. IE8 sometimes still stops responding and now i am also having problems installing software. I have tried installing MSN Messenger etc and other software and it starts downloading, but howeve…

I keep getting this on a particular volume and sync jobs keep failing. The Operation failed since DPM was unable to access the file/folder \\? \Volume{5XXXXXX-0dbd-11dd-9f7a-806e6f6e6963}\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\Monitor\XXX 20080521 020004 (14).txt\ on dpmserver.somecorp.XXX.com. This could be due to the file/folder being corrupt or the file system on the volume being corrupt. (ID 2036 Details: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable (0x80070570)) Recommended action: 1) Run chkdsk on the affected volume and then run synchronization with consistency check. 2) If running chkdsk does not solve the problem, and the server indicated above is a prot…

Why does my Enter Ntework Password window pop up everyday? How DO I stop it - I check the box to remember the password but it still pops up again (with the box unchecked) -- jj

Hello Folks I need to copy a lot of information from PDF files and put them in a word document. However, when I start typing, the PDF window goes behind the open Word file window and I have to manually switch between the two every couple of words or so. Is it possible not to lose the view of PDF window. It will be unfeasible to print each PDF file as there is a *lot* of them to do and only need about 30 or so words from each page. It is also unfeasible to have two small windows open as there will have to be lots of scrolling up, down, left and right. It a nutshell, what I want is to do is to be able to type on a full screen Word document, with a 3/4 si…

I have been trying to figure this one out for months. I have read an article or two indicating that updating your terminal service to SP2 resets all permissions and file security settings to the default settings. Nonetheless I have given domain users, everyone, remote desktop users all local admin rights on the terminal server as well as full control of the c: drive. I am only able to create shortcuts in users' 'My Document' folder, which users also have full control over, although their 'My Documents' folder location points to their home directory on a different server. Anyway, I have my terminal server users full control on the terminal server but they a…

I have a laptop with Windows XP Home with SP3. I connect the laptop directly to the DSL router and it is set to get IP automatically. However, the last few days I noticed that it does not generate IP address. I know the DSL connection is OK since I tried another laptop. I got another PCMCIA NIC and yet it also cannot get an IP address. I did get a reply by ping 127.0.0.1. Any ideas what's wrong?

Can someone tell me what system cache refer to in task manager? Thanks

I have 2 new hds they are not twins not puchaced at the same time, one is a white label. I cannot get xp32 or 64 to see this drive. the install disk sees it. vista sees it. linux sees it, and partition manager (dos) sees it. xp says there is something on the sata channel but that it has no id, therefore has no idea what it is so i can't use it. The only difference in the hd id's that i can see is the white label has an ascii charector at the end of its id. is this odd or what?

Is there an utility which allows you to run all you command shells from a single windows and switch between them, rather than having so many of them cluttering the desktop. There is something like that for Putty. Is there one for DOS?

Within the last couple of weeks i have had a couple of users call me and tell me that they have received an error box about the DEP. I have also experience it on my system and really confused as to why we are getting these messages. Nothing has changed on the computers.. no new software (except for ms updates) or even hardware. the systems that these machines are getting the DEP message are Windows XP SP3... What can i do to stop this besides turning DEP off? -- Thank you,

Interesting ... Windows XP Pro boots up, you can log in with no problems, however, nothing shows up on the screen, no icons, no bar on the bottom, nothing. If you CTRL-ALT-DEL and open task manager you can run programs all day long. Mouse and keyboard work fine. I'm at a loss, I've used System Mechanic to see if there were any problems that could be solved, and I've turned off all startup items. Any help would be great.

I would like to connect two USB headsets (earphones and microphones) to the same laptop so two people can listen and/or speak fromthe same laptop. Is this possible? If so, what's the procedure? -- Brian G

I'm began using the seagate version of acronis. I copied a bootable disk image from a 80G drive to a partition on a Seagate 500G external drive, L-drive, 100G. The size of the files on the 80G drive were about 60G. I then attempted to copy the image to a 320G WD drive. When I was about to start the copy, I got a message with a large exclamation point that said the machine would be rebooted when I proceeded. That seemed a bit odd. It seemed the implication was that it would be the very next thing to happen. Why would it need to boot to make a copy? I can see how this might be the case once the copy had been made.

Hi! Have anyone here tried firefox 3.03 with windows98 and kernelex 0.3.5? does everything work as it should? btw, is ff3 slower than ff2 (for example on firefox recomended 500MHz/128MB computer) ? -- Använder Operas skitkassa nya e-postklient: http://www.opera.com/mail/

I have 3 accounts on my PC, one admin, two limited (for my kids), running on Windows XP SP3. Now, when we boot up the PC, if my son (limited account) or I (admin account) logs in first, there is no problem. However, if my daughter (limited account) logs in, the PC got stuck. On the desktop, some icons are okay, some aren't (they look like document shape not icons) and the PC is frozen. She said that when this happens, she has to restart (i.e. pressing reset button because it is frozen) a few times until it finally boots up okay (and the desktop is fine). I checked her settings (startup applications, display property etc) and I couldn't find anything…

Hi, i'm outside of USA, and was looking for a vendor of Terminal Services 2003 CAL pack(5 licences), i found on Amazon.com a convenient price(lower than the local provider). My question is if the terminal services cal pack is a physical document or is only an electronic document that i can buy safely trough internet? Are there any shippable items? Best regards.

hello, we use a windows 2008 licence server that is not installed on a dc and use "per user" cals for our 2008 ts farm. on our licence server we see in the eventlog the warning 4105 that means that the licence server cannot update the ad user properties when he delivers the cals. we have discovered that the terminalserver-licenceserver group is under the security properties of the user listed but has no rights. by new created users the rights "terminalserver-licenceserver read" and "terminalserver-licenceserver write" are automatically set for this group. if we set this rights manual the warning disappears in the eventlog. my question now is: how can we…

All - I have a Terminal Server Cluster that has been built. In my testing, I placed a user that has a large (2.5 GB) Exchange mailbox. When he launches Outlook 2007, it comes up, but he gets an hourglass for about 5 minutes. During that time, he can go on do other things, but when he comes back to Outlook, he gets the "Not Responding" or the white screen. Eventually, it comes back around and he's able to use it. He's not running in cache mode, because of running on TS. All patches have been applied to the servers in the cluster. I've disabled the add-ins that would allow me to. I know that the account size is an issue, but he didn't have the pr…

I was trying to set resolution in safe mode. First, I ran msconfig then ticked boot to safemode and then I restart. But I cannot login cause I was only able to login thru a different domain or netmork (e.g. doamin\username). Is there any possible way to boot into normal mode again? I tried pressing F8, and then choose Normal Mode etc, but still it went thru safe mode! So sad, I feel Im in Danger Mode. Please help! I cannot login and my computer is completely useless now... Many thanks in advance! -- ===================================

Friend's pc shows only black screen and a blinking cursor. He pushed F2 and F12 only to get the Phoenix bios screen asking for a password which is foreign to him. How can he restart Windows?

I raised this before but unfortunately didn't get any replies which helped solve the problem. I now have some more information. The problem is that every time I try to remove a USB portable hard drive and use the Safely Remove Hardware icon I get a message that the device Generic Volume cannot be stopped. This although I have no applications open. I've now discovered that if I have the USB device already plugged in when I boot the computer it gets locked as described above. However, if I plug in the drive after booting up and logging on then I can eject it at will with no problems. What might be the application which would be locking the disk drive onl…
