Startup Error
by Guest tshad- 2 replies
- 212 views
I am getting an error on startup after doing windows update. Never saw this before. The ordinal 49 could not be located in the dynamic link library MAPI32.dll Looking on the Web, it seems that if you run Fixmapi.exe, this should fix it. It doesn't on my machine. Doesn't seem to do anything - just goes right back to a command prompt. I have 3 Mapi files: MAPI32.000 that is 110KB MAPI32.DLL that is 145K MAPI.DLL that is 81K What happened here? How can I fix this? Thanks, Tom

Re: Identifying Motherboard's Make and Model

Re: Identifying Motherboard's Make and Model This is a limping help. I had a problem with the OS or some sort of mismatch between the bios and something else. MS sent me a 'page' which told you how to find who the manufacturer of your motherboard is. It is simply putting a command (forgot) into the run. Try tracking it down at MS.

Not sure if anybody else has run into this issue, but today I renewed my sub to Kas IS, but the link they provided to downlod the new version didn't work, so I called their tech number, some (obviously guy from india) told me, you have to uninstall the old version before you can download the new version, that to me sounded really stupid, I wasn't trying to install, just download, so I ignored him and sent of an e-mail, they sent me a different link where I got my application downloaded just fine, I also noticed they said uninstall the old one, but no utility to do so. I just ran the new version it installed just fine.

Time Zones
by Guest Wanderer- 1 reply
- 162 views
I travel extensively and use the Time Zone feature of Outlook 2007. Unfortunately, Windows XP's list of time zones is very limited when it comes to medium or small towns and some countries like Kazakhstan. I would like to be able to add entries to the Windows time zone list so I don't have to research which alternative offered by Windows is the correct one. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

installing XP
by Guest Steve44- 2 replies
- 164 views
I had a non-validated copy of Windows XP on my computer, came with the computer, so I bought an XP upgrade. I installed it by booting through the CD drive and installed it into a different file. When I went to install all the udates, it said that the site was not available. I tried a couple of different ways, and still could not get it to work. Another thing I would like to do is transfer all the documents and settings to the newly installed XP. Any suggestions?? thanks

Creating a System Disk on a system without a floppy drive
by Guest confused two- 2 replies
- 187 views
Windows XP lets me back up my entire system on any drive I want - but insists I install a floppy disk in my A drive - with no option to use a CD or DVD or PMD to create a system disk. How do I get around this archaic means of storage. I haven't had a floppy drive since before my kids were born. My boot sequence doesn't include a floppy drive either. Very strange software.

I made a bat file and put in it "shutdown -s -t 00" on most of my Windows XP Pro clients it runs fine as a scheduled task. Three of my clients put up the error "Required priviledge is not held by the client." and the PC does not shutdown. What priviledge do I have to set to get shutdown.exe to run on these clients?

XP/Vista - installing apps on a common drive
by Guest Terry R.- 2 replies
- 190 views
On my personal workstation, I have always used a separate drive partition for data and a separate drive partition for apps, since I have multiple OS's and to keep partition sizes small. I point each app from each OS to the same location, so there is only one footprint of each installed app. If an uninstall is needed (rarely if ever), I just copy the app folder, uninstall it, then rename the copy back to the original so all the other OS's have it available. I was wondering whether anyone dual boots using XP/Vista and has a separate drive they install apps to that is common to both OS's. Thanks, -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures ar…

Time zone changes each time I turn on my PC
by Guest Vin Steele- 5 replies
- 254 views
I am running Windows XP Professional. I automatically install all high-priority updates every week. For the last week or so, everytime I log on, I find that my PC's clock is an hour ahead. When I go to the 'Adjust Date/Time' window, I find that my time zone is set to "GMT-03:00, Brasilia" instead of "GMT-05:00, Eastern Time (US and Canada)', which is where I live. I change the setting, and my time is then accurate until I shut my PC down. When I start up again, I am find my time zone is again set to "GMT-03:00, Brasilia" . I have never been to that time zone, and I have never taken my PC out of my time zone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vin St…

Unable to share files over crossover cable anymore
by Guest Menl- 4 replies
- 223 views
Hi, I've run into a problem with file sharing between my laptop and my desktop. It used to work perfectly. What I do is connect the two computers through a cross over cable. I connect from the desktop to the laptop by typing the ip adress in the file manage box. so something like \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\d$. This used to bring up a login box (laptop is part of the company network). After this I had access to all the files on the d-drive. Now however it doesn't work anymore. I can still do a ping and that works, I can even start a remote desktop connection and that works too. But a simple filesharing connection is not possible. I don't know if it matters bu…

Automatic Updates repeatedly installing KB948109
by Guest Tritous- 12 replies
- 410 views
Well after reading the KB article about problems with repeatedly installing the same update (and finding it unhelpful), sending a mail to MS customer support (and getting back a blank response and a link to the KB, not even to an article, just generally to the support webside which is an insult) I come here hoping someone has an answer. Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB948109) Well it's been installed about 6 times now. 4 times through automatic updates, 2 times through the updates website and each time has suceeded. However, it still isnt registering that it is installed and still wants it. I suspect the downloaded file may b…

Daughter's PC, XP/SP2, Media Player won't start, missing DLL. No internet connection so cannot update to a newer version. Is there a standalone download for WMP 11 which will install without that connection or alternatively how can I fix WMP 9, perhaps from XP CD? -- Kenny Cargill
