A colleague of mine made the mistake of letting his secretary stick her memory stick into his laptop's USB port. Totally shagged! So I managed to get it to connect to the internet again, installed the latest version of AVG Internet Security, BUT ..... some major problems remain. Please do NOT answer, unless you have a known solution .... I do NOT want "have you tried...." or "I think this may help...." type responses. Many thanks in advance for your understanding this. FYI, the lapton is running XP sp 2. The problems left are:- 1. Clicking on drive name (or even right clicking) does not open/explore the drive . Instead I get the "Open with" wind…

Hi, Windows 2003 Server SP2 When I make a change to the domain policy I notice that my two member servers don't seem to reflect the update in their local security policy until I reboot them. Then the LSP settings show the new values. I try running gpupdate /force from the cmd line on these boxes but no joy. Also I have a number of servers that are standalone, is there any way to refresh their local security policy after modifying it without rebooting? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks, Stuart

If it is possible to prepare a W2k3 DC to ad a W2k8 membre server, is it posible to make the W2k8 to take all the rules over so the W2k3 DC can be removed?

Attn, regulars - "MICROSOFT CORPORATION WORLD LOTTERY" (does such a thing exist?) Just recieved an e-mail - it's a spinal reaction here to zap'em as they arrive, but I am always curious when MS is being referred to in "official" sounding language. Any comments? Tony. . .

I have an IBM laptop running XP Pro, where the keyboard does not seem to work (in regular windows mode) - no key works at all. However, when I go to Device Manager, the keyboard does not report any errors; when I run PC-Doctor (which is a part of the supplied IBM diagnostics) it reports no errors and indeed the keyboard works just fine for navigation and option selection. In fact, when the laptop boots up, it requires a log-in password and the keyboard works perfectly to enter the password. This leads me to think that keyboard per se is not defective. Once it has booted however, the keyboard becomes totally non-responsive. What could be wrong and how …

I am trying to find out what domain service is running at 12:06 am and 12:06 pm everyday and is using my domain admin account to login/run. (Windows 2003 AD domain with 2 DCs) I am now being alerted that at these times the account is being locked out, but as a domain admin it really isn't locked out. I thought a replication service but went into AD and was able to replicate between my two DC's. Not sure where to look for this? THanks J

Is there a way to enable "Power Users" in Windows XP to be able to view the default Web site properties in IIS? I can login, as "administrator," to my Webmaster's IIS console on his PC and view the default Web site properties just fine. However, when he logs in as himself, he can open IIS but he can't even see the default Web site's properties. Is there a way to enable him to view this without making him an administrator on the computer?

Hello, I am running on x64 XP with 8 GB of RAM. I have issues copying or moving large files, either from drive to drive or over the network. When this happens my RAM is slowly eaten away until there is none left and the system starts aggressively paging. I googled and found this: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/29912456/file-copy-operations-and.aspx Which is the same problem, so I know I am not alone. I'm just wondering if A: anyone else on here has experienced this, and B: if there is a solution at all? I should note that neither task manager nor process explorer show my RAM as being full when copying a file, but I have a little system…

So, we have a number of remote offices that currently map a drive back to the main office server over slower WAN links (2-3Mbit or less). It is a fact that the CIFS protocol does not work well over a WAN connection and mapping drives uses network overhead. So we could use a shortcut on the users desktop to the UNC path i.e. \\servername\share. My question is: Is it better for network purposes to use a shortcut to a UNC path or a mapped drive?

Hi All, I have a class that uses MSDTC distributed transaction service. The code worked perfectly until the server was reboot. At that point I started getting the following error code:0x8004D01B. It means that the MSDTC service is not started. Is there a way to configure the service so that it starts anytime the server does? Thank you for any help on this issue

HI there, I have a windows XP Pro machine with 4 shares and 8 PCs with windows 2000 Pro having the shares mapped to them, using 4 windows login accounts on a LAN and domain.

I am using XP SP3.0 and I performed a Search, but then could not find in Windows Explorer all of the items listed in the Search. I already "Show hidden files and folders" in all folders. I am the Owner and Administrator of this computer. How can I find and delete these files? In addition, I cannot delete some files from a program I no longer subscribe to/use. I get the error, "Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." How can I delete these?
