I'm in the process of writing an FTP script in SQL but while I am doing this I am testing my commands directly in the Command Prompt. When I attempt to run an mput or put command for my file I get a FTP Error: 501 Specified Object Name Too Long, limit is 10 Characters. Does anyone know how can I FTP files that have a file name of more than 10 characters? These files are 12 characters long and I don't have any way around that. TIA!

Hello, Just installed Vista 64 bit. lovin it so far. first thing that I did was windows update and downloaded about 65 updates. When I go to my system properties though, it doesn't say anything about SP1. I'm tempted to go get sp1 and install it, but I just want to know, did those 65 updates when I installed vista come with sp1 or not? thanks

Trying to refresh my PC. I did a (FAST) transfer to an external drive and after reformatting and reinstalling the OS on my Primary drive, I cannot retrieve backed-up data successfully. The File & Settings Transfer runs for 5 minutes (so ‘I believe’ I have compatible versions) and ends with following error messages: “cannot complete the transfer” “An error occurred while the wizard was loading your data. “The wizard cannot create the data needed to save your settings.

Hi There, I have 2 questions regarding Windows 2008 Web TS I have configured web ts and it all appears to be working, when I login within the network I am not prompted for login credentials to display the webpart containing the remoteapps but I do receive a request for login credentials when I try to launch one of the remoteapps. When login in remotely I get the first login, for which I provide my domain credentials to display my RemoteApps web page as I would expect but I will then be asked to provide further credentials when I try to launch one of the applications. How do I stop this second login? Question 2; Is there any way or removing the re…

Hello, we have a windows 2003 (sp2) terminlalserver enviroment. I've installed a Brother HL 1450 with an optional paper tray on my local workstation via usb. If I login to the rdp session I can see my local printer redirected. But the configuration that I made on my local printer driver (paper tray, duplex ect.) are not there. If I make the changes on the server they are lost after logging off. Is it possible, that the windows termianlserver reads the configuration from my local workstation? Thanks Quirin Pasquay

How can I print file data information in WinXP? When I look at a file in Explore it shows me the name, date modified, date created,etc and if right click I can choose other information to display. I found a file I need for a court case and I need to be able to print these things especially the date it was created. Is there software or some other way that I can print all the file's metadata to show to someone? Thanks

A couple of days ago I turned on my Dell Inspiron 700 laptop and received the message STOP: c000021a (fatal system error) the windows logon process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x00000000) The system has been shutdown. I have tried rebooting in safe mode but get multiple *.exe application error and am unable to access anything, not AOL, IE Explorer, GoogleUpdater. Am at a total loss and don't even know where to begin. I have 1024MB of memory and 100GB of RAM with 13 available. Any suggestions? -- Anatnas

After getting the error message "file System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sy is missing or corrupt" I did a repair with the original CD. After rebooting most of my desktop icons were missing but all my files and programs are still there but when I tried to start IE7 I got the message "the procedure entry point SHCreateThreadRef could not be located in dll SHLWAPI.dll". I followed the procedure described in article id 888162 to uninstall KB834707 and to remove SP2. After the reboot when I tried to open IE7 I got the message "procedure entry point SHRGetvalueW could not be located in dll SHLWAPI.dll"; I thought I hadn't properly deleted SP2 and tried to do it via the Add/…

So my dad was messing around with his machine and somehow ended up changing the time far enough in the future that all his certificates expired. At least so he tells me. So now whenever he goes to any website with any browser, he is constantly pestered with invalid certificate messages. How can I get the default certificates back?

I live in eastern Australia. On the weekend daylight savings started. Unfortunately I think that Windows XP thinks that it doesn't start until the last weekend in October. Just wondering if there's a fix for this or do I have to simply put up with it til the end of the month?

I have always gotten to RRAS through Administrative Tools ----> Remote Routing and Access. RRAS is no longer being shown here. Somehow my RRAS has been removed. Is there anyway to re-install this without installing the operating system?

Has anyone ever tried to get Aero run from a TS-client? I do not speak about "theory" - I mean: did you see it yourself? From my point of view it should be possible to view Aero-style-seamless-windows (or remoteapps) if you fullfill the following requirements: - Desktop Experience + Themes-service + Vista-Style at the Terminal Server - Allow 32-bit color depth in the TS-Settings at the server - Have aero enabled at the client and choose "Desktop composition" and "Font smooting". I tried it several times and never succeeded. I have an aero-capaple (and of course enabled) WS 2008-Client, I see Vista-style-windows but no transparency. Did you get it r…

Hi, We have a customer running Windows XP sr3. The computer is on a small network (Windows sbs). The profiles on all computers are local. Customer reported that the customer lost his profile. Upon inspection I noted that his profile was using a Temp profile. I have seen this problem before so I recreated the profile (renamed the profile folder). Next day customer powers down and the profile is once again reverting back to a temp. I booted to safe mode and followed procedures for rebuilding profile. i powered down the computer twice and restarted just to make sure everything was OK and it appeared to work. Well this morning customer reported profile is…

Just recently, within our SharePoint (v2) Document Library, multiple idividuals are reported issues for when they click on the document name drop down menu and choose "Edit in Microsoft Office Word". Expected behavior is for the document to open up within MS Word 2003. Now, MS Word does not open when "Edit in Microsoft Office Word" is chosen. The work around is to start MS Word (winword.exe) first, then the document opens as expected. Or, they can simply double-click on the link to the document, and MS Word opens the document (The only problem with this double-click method is that is misinforms you that the document is Read-Only which confuses the …

Not sure what's the best newsgroup for this topic so here goes ... I'm thinking about replacing my ViewSonic P815 monitor from CRT to LCD. I'm always on the computer (working) so I need a nice setup. So far, I've found good reviews on the following LCD monitors ... 1) Samsung T220 Black/Red 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor 2) Dell SP2208WFP Silver 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor However, a dual monitor setup would be nice if the price is right. Not sure what's the best size for this setup though. I'm thinking of a dual 19"-20" LCD monitor setup since a dual 21"-22" LCD monitor setup might be too much? Also, some widescreen LCD monitors can be rotated from la…

Seems like the normal function of the "CTRL ALT DELETE" key stroke has changed. Before when they are used it brought up a screen with three tabs. Now it only brings up one screen. Its the END PROCESS screen listing all proceses running with the % used by each program. The top tab with the simple list of open programs and the third tab are gone. Can anyone explain what happened?

We are trying to authenticate to our Windows 2003 AD using LDAP with Internet Explorer. We get it to work with CN= "name" but we cannot get it to work with sAMAccountName="name". Has anyone tried to do this before?

I am runing Windows XP Prof Ver. 2002. Yesterday I downloaded SP 3. First off, I know little about computers. I recently installed a new Western Digital SCSI 500 GB hard drive. It installed and formated without problem other than I could only do this as a dynamic Disk. After transfering all files to this new drive (317 GB) and thinking everinthing was fine, I erased the old files from 2 other hard drives they were on. About a day later I got this error: {Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Device\LanmanRedirector (F:\$Mft). The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardwar…

From time to time I see the Recycle Bin icon indicates content. When I attempt to empty it I receive a message that says "Are you sure you want to delete WINDOWS?" Once I called its bluff and clicked on yes. It did not delete WINDOWS. What is happening here and can it be corrected? This is not a virus.
