I have bought a new computer, and gotten rid of my old one already. However, I have installed my old hard drive into the new computer as an addtional drive, and is working properly. However, my "My Documents" folder is locked, due to having a password-protected username on my old computer (this hard drive). How do I unlock this folder, from my new computer, while operating under the operating system of the new hard drive and new computer?

I'm helping a laptop user log into our domain (MAIL - don't laugh I didn't come up with the name) because he has been using a local profile and not properly logging for a few months.

I get an error on the username.mail profile that is stopping at a word document. I log back in with the user's account and cannot find this document. This error stops the copy process from …

E-mail gets lost, no bounceback, nothing.
by Guest Sal- 9 replies

When I use Outlook Express to send an e-mail to a Yahoo mail account it never arrives, and I never even receive a "failure to deliver" message. It just gets lost. I can, however, send e-mail to a Gmail account. This is the strangest thing. Are there any settings in OE that I should look at? I can't understand why the same e-mail can be sent to Gmail successfully and just gets lost when sent to Yahoo mail. SMTP: mail.cyberonic.com IP address of server: 4.17.179.4 Port: 25 No server authentication

Windows updates download to one computer to install on another
by Guest Big Al- 11 replies

Is there a way to download Windows Updates to one computer to be copied to another computer & installed there ? My laptop has a fast wireless connection to get the updates. My desktop only has a slow dial-up. For personal reasons, I don't want to change the desktop to wireless. So if I can only download the updates recommended by Microsoft for my desktop on my laptop - it will go MUCH faster. My phone company charges my dial-up access by the minute. The updates would take an hour or more with dial-up. The same updates with wireless would take seconds. Thanks for any detailed help. ....Al

I've got a WinXP Pro SP2 computer that used to be my brother's, he had built it himself and is solid. He did not give me a windows CD. The after failing windows genuine validation the computer fails windows update and says that the windows serial number is blocked. Windows update gives me the option to pay about $140 for a license, but I figure why pay $140 for a license when for a few dollars more I can buy a CD of Windows XP pro? Can I just buy a Windows xp pro CD and use that serial number? How do I change the serial number? Tony
