printers and drives through Remote Desktop
by Guest SP_1- 1 reply
- 154 views
Hi I'm on a Vista Home Premium PC - connecting to an XP Pro PC through Remote Desktop Connection. While on the remote session, I open the My Computer (on the XP PC), and I can see all the drives on that PC plus all the drives on my Vista PC. I can copy files between these 2 PCs. The same thing with printers, while on the remote session, I open Printers And Faxes on the XP PC, and I can see all the printers on that PC plus the printers on my PC. Now, also from my Vista PC, I'm connecting to a different XP Pro PC. The problem is that I do not see all the drives of both PCs in the My Computer (eventhough I already checked the Drives box for connecting…

DVD Not Seen Via My Computer in DVD drive
by Guest dobe1776@yahoo.com- 3 replies

I have a Compaq Presario c300 using Windows XP. I can see the DVD drive in BIOS and Device Manager. However, when I place a DVD movie or software CD in the drive, the Autoplay does not turn on, nor can I see the DVD/CD files, or play the movie via My Computer. It simply prompts me to either format or eject the DVD/CCD. When I access the DVD drive directly through Media Player or HP's Video Software, it does see the movie and will play it. Any suggestions on how to make the DVD drive see the CD/DVD that is inserted into it via My Computer or to have it automatically detected? Thank you for your time.

Hi, I have a major problem and am wondering if anyone can help inform me on any of these things. Thank you very much in advance!! I have Windows XP the home version, on a Gateway desktop computer, probably at least 6 or 7 years old. For a few weeks or more, it was acting up and would start to shut down on me suddenly, then say that it "recovered from a serious error." Then Windows stopped starting up completely, and I started to get this message instead when I turned on my computer: winlogon.exe "This application has failed to start because ODBC32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Then if you close that window, I even…

My IE7 gives me a "add-ons blocked" pop-up and I can't make it not do that. When I go into "tools", the "manage add-ons" pick is greyed out. How do I fix this ? Thanks.

Ever since 7/9/2008 according Windows' event logs, I noticed my explorer.exe would crash randomly and I can't figure out what is causing it and why. I tried removing, disabling, downgrading, etc. programs/updates (e.g., SpyBot v1.6.0, KB951748 (DNS), Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - July 2008 (KB890830) [don't think it removed anything], uninstalling Sun Java 6 Update 6 to install update #7, K-Lite Codec Full Pack v4.00, and TrueCrypt v6.0 portable. These were the products that I recall installing since then. I might have more and need to dig and think more. I already ran full scans with the latest definitions from Norton AntiVirus, SpyBot, S…
