Allow client to view screen when a remote desktop is connected
by Guest Karl Rhodes- 4 replies
- 194 views
Hi all, this is something I've assumed is the case but never had it confirmed. Would I be right in thinking that there is no way for a user who is sat at their pc to view the goings on on-screen while an administrator, or another user for that matter, is connected to the pc via remote desktop? If there is some way of doing this without a third party application, then I'd be really grateful is someone could let me know how it's done. Alternatively, if there is a third party plugin that's free or relatively cheap, then I'd appreciate links to these too. Thanks, Karl

PGM message not directly sent by XP
by Guest Rob- 0 replies
- 116 views
Hi, I'm using PGM to send multicast messages in my application. However it turns out that the first message is not actually put on the wire immediately, but only if the application sends a 2nd message. Then with the sniffer I see them both. So for now I have patched my application to do just this: send the original message, and then a message with just 1 byte. But I wonder why this should be necessary anyhow. It just adds to the networkload, protocol stack load, and the receivers must ignore the spurious messages. So is this a bug in the MS PGM implementation, or correct PGM behaviour? Rob BTW, and for those XP Embedded aficionados: It is not sufficie…

Re cookie settings altering on own – it was a Malware Trojan
by Guest Andrew- 2 replies
- 172 views
I have found and destroyed the culprit responsible for resetting my cookies to the lowest possible level. It was a malware Trojan called Win32.Trojan.Monder – five infections in total. I downloaded and installed free Ad-Aware 2008 which discovered two Trojans in the registry first, the other three about 2 minutes later. Cookie settings stable again now, however, still can’t update my eTrust Antivirus vet engine to the latest issue! This is the first time Spybot S & D has failed to root out an infection! - Andrew

Playing PAL on NTSC PCs?
by Guest Snapper- 7 replies
- 265 views
Hopefully this is the right newsgroup. I don't know if computers in America are specifically NTSC based but here in Australia we can play any format of video. However, we've been posting videos of our granddaughter on our website for relations in the US to look at. But they're telling us that they can't view them. The only thing that I can put it down to is that their computers are NTSC or something, while these videos are in PAL format. Thing is, I have the same software that they would be using, including Windows XP, Apple Quicktime (the files are 3GP format), etc.. Could someone advise me how we can get these videos to play for these people? If indeed, …

Odd registry key?
by Guest Throttlehog- 3 replies
- 189 views
To preface: For several months now I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to ferret out a solution to a DVDRW problem using the online support pages of my pc manufacturer (HP), the hardware manufacturer (Lite-On), as well as those of all cd burning software currently installed. The latest steps I've taken involved deleting the upper and lower filters keys for the DVDRW, which failed to "fix" it. Which brings me to my question: While "poking" around in regedit I found an entry related to the DVD that looked a bit odd to me & I could think of no better place to get an accurate explanation than here. This is what I found: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ S…

Error 1606
by Guest seawind- 6 replies

While trying to upgrade from Kaspersky 6 to 9 I received the following message- Error 1606 could not access network location @:systemroot%\system32 When I tried to remove the Kaspersky 6 the same error massage displayed. I can't find this particular type of 1606 error in the Microsoft database. I have run four different registry cleaners without success. Is this a Registry problem? I have looked in the Registry (very scary) and there are a mass of Kaspersky keys in there. -- Charles
