Hi, Uses: Windows XP +SP2, Domain Memeber; We have a computer which is kept as a Public Viewer. Recently we added this to Active Directory. However now we are facing a trouble where the windows XP automatically logs off and locks it self after several minutes. This and several computers are in a Certain Organizational Unit (OU) and we would like to have any Group Policy written to avoid this problem for that only if there were no solutions to apply to the local computer itself. If there is solution we could pass it on for the Group IT Department, which the main Active Directory is installed. Any solution we would be appreciated. Regards, -- …

Probably less strange question if detailed out. I want to install software on my system in English. Yet there are drivers and certain software (i.e. latest Google Earth version) that insists to install in German. please help... I tried a lot with User Locale and System locale (I think), but I am not able to control reliably how software is installed. I am running a native US version of Windows XP SP2. However, I do have a Swiss keyboard and I live ins Switzerland. Windows XP language is english. Standards and formats are English (USA) too, but i have customized some formats (date, time, etc). Location is Switzerland. Input languages include Englis…

Try to help a friend whose laptop w/XP will not boot. I have no idea what was installed prior to getting the error message. stop: c0000135 {unable to locate component} This application has failed because BASEGHJEB32 was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. How do I resolve this issue? I cannot boot in normal mode or safemode. Nor can I boot from the CD. Thanks

.Net framework versions
by Guest Ramesh- 3 replies
- 170 views
HI, Is it necessary to keep all versions of .Net framework in one system .. 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0? Or can i uninstall the earlier versions when the later upgrades are installed? The later versions do not seem to uninstall the earlier versions or overwrite on them. I would not like to keep the earlier versions, if they are not required, and they occupy (huge) space and weigh down the system. Thanks for any inputs. Ramesh

Loss of Files.... A Hard Drive Problem?
by Guest Marty- 1 reply
- 137 views
When I tried to save a document that I made a couple of changes on while working in Microsoft Word, I got the following messages: "Unrecoverable disk error on file ~WRL1246.tmp. The disk you are working on has a media problem that prevents Word from using it." Also: "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error." Since I also lost the file in its entirety (it had previously been successfully saved) I am guessing that these messages mean that I have a hard drive problem and probably need to replace it. I'd appreciate input from anyone that has experienced this problem. Please let me know what you think. Thank you. Marty

I want to change default program for opening files. When I work as administrator it's no problem but when I work as a limited permissions user the "Change..." button is grayed out. I want the same program for both accounts so it would be all right if the administrator program was used by all users but it is not. I have a XP Pro SP3 system. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

How to make an "exact" copy of a cd
by Guest Veerle- 10 replies
- 278 views
Hi, I bought for my kids a cd with a Dora game for the pc: the dutch version of "Dora's Dance to the Rescue" by Atari. Because my kids are still very young (2,5 and 3,5 years old) I usualy make images of game cds which I then mount as a separate drive. This makes that there's no more need to change disks and makes sure the original disks don't get damaged. I didn't follow this strategy from the start and they already broke one game cd that I didn't make a backup copy of. This Dora game although won't work as an image. It detects that it's being used from a virtual drive and gives an error message about it. So I tried making a cd copy using Nero. But then …

Mouse Issue:
by Guest Navyguy- 8 replies
- 275 views
I have a Logictech MX610 wireless laser mouse and recently I have found that its been acting somewhat 'iffy'. By that I mean that its been taking several clicks to open/close a folder or that when I close an option it closes the entire window. I've tried changing the settigs, restoring it to the default settings but nothing seems to work and it still behaves in this manner. It didn't always act this way and started quite recently. I would appreciate any thought or suggestions. Thanks, Robert
