"All Fax Printers Are Inaccessible"
by Guest Monica- 0 replies

This is the message I have in the lower right corner of MS Fax Console (v.5.1 SP 2) I remember when I first installed XP years ago that there was issue with the fax console. Seems like maybe it didn't automatically install and after installing it I had to download and add a file??? Not sure, but I am sure it's been working fine since I installed XP and fix for the fax console. Just in the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that the "Sent" folder won't display the faxes I've sent and the above message is at the bottom of the screen (after several seconds of trying to "refresh"). Some of the Inbox faxes are listed, not all of them, but they can't open…

When I was prompted to install chinese language support, the message came up to insert the Windows XP DVD. I inserted the DVD that came with my computer and it seemed to be copying files for a while then stopped with a message that it couldn't find xjis.nls. What do I do now? I have no idea where to find this file. Is there an error free download I can use that will install cinese language support? Ed

workgroups and netbios resolution
by Guest Joe- 0 replies

I have a Windows 2000 domain controller I am pulling out of an environment for various reasons. The 20 desktops were pointing to that device for WINS, but now they are going to be in the same workgroup. Since they are in the same workgroup, how will they communicate by computer name? I assume ensuring netbios over tcp/ip would do it. Anything else required?

Sharring ones computer

I know this question must read a little strange but I am a family man who purchased this computer and all software which is installed on it. Windows XP Home Edition. I allow; my daughter, my son, my mother and of course myself to use the computer. My daughter is a student so I purchased MS Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003. I also purchased Windows Lvie One Care. My questions are , "Am I commiting a crime by allowing my family members to use my computer?" Am i defaulting on those Eula Agreements? Do I select that option that my computer is sharred, not to save ones address book on it?

Redmond's Con Game 1 2

The formula that helped Microsoft attain vast power and wealth was: 1. Make the non-standard Office Suite the soup du jour on every table. This worked, except for the huge legal field, who continue with Word Perfect, and the 25% who have discovered Open Office/Star Office. 2. Let 'piracy' run rampant, until everyone is 'hooked' on their drug. Then, the continued habit will be very expensive. 3. Suppress all instances of mention of alternative OSes, better, or less expensive products, by a campaign of media lies and distortions. 4. Buy the press, bribe the media. Insert $1 billion in advertising and 'white papers'. Offer free stuff t…

Re: permission to edit registry denied

Re: permission to edit registry denied Hi, i was just wondering if there are any other ways to enable regedit.exe, because after every ".exe" extension, it says there is no association with the program, and for it doing this action. While I re-associated the File Type ".reg", the regedit.exe program is still disabled by my administrator. Please help me with this frustrating problem.

autochk error on boot
by Guest Mwoolv- 1 reply
- 164 views
I got attacked by a trojan and have trouble booting my system. I'm running Windows XP. My error on startup is "autochk not found. Skipping Autocheck". After receiving error message, my system reboots to the same error. I'm caught in an endless loop. I've tried booting in SafeMode, but it doesn't come up. Only reboots. I've also tried booting from last known good configuration. Again, no luck. I've verified the autochk.exe file is located in the windows\system32 directory. If this is a registry error, how do I correct the error when I can't get to Windows? Any ideas how to get past this error?

My environment is Windows XP Pro SP2 with MS Office 2003 Pro. While *.doc, *.xls and *.ppt can be open using double-click, on the windows explorer, these documents appear as an undefined icon. Trying to reset the icon doesn't work, (Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - File Types). Tried to use the Repair Icons in Tweak UI also cannot resolve the problem. What else can be done to show the correct icons ?
