shares and incoming connections on XP pro
by Guest Tester- 4 replies
- 254 views
HI there, I have a windows XP Pro machine with 4 shares and 8 PCs with windows 2000 Pro having the shares mapped to them, using 4 windows login accounts on a LAN and domain. These machines are on a remote subnet with lower speed links to where the domain controllers reside. 1. I am getting "No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as this computer can accept" on XP sharing machine. 2. On the Windows 2000 Pro client machines I am getting Microsoft Windows network: The local device name is already in use. This connection has not been restored" when trying to access a share of the XP machine…

can't find items listed in a search
by Guest timandjanet- 1 reply

I am using XP SP3.0 and I performed a Search, but then could not find in Windows Explorer all of the items listed in the Search. I already "Show hidden files and folders" in all folders. I am the Owner and Administrator of this computer. How can I find and delete these files? In addition, I cannot delete some files from a program I no longer subscribe to/use. I get the error, "Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." How can I delete these?

Can't use Flash with IE
by Guest the K- 5 replies
- 292 views
I have IE 6 and whenever I go to Adobe's site to install flash, I run the installer and get no messages that something went wrong. However, when I try to view videos, I get the message that I have Javascript turned off or I don't have the latest flash player. I went to tools/internet options/advanced but didn't notice anything about Javascript. This doesn't make sense, because I can view flash videos in Firefox fine.

monotor does not turn off after 9/9/08 updates
by Guest sjcinnamond- 4 replies

I have Windows XP Home SP3 on a P4 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM computer. Graphics card is a legacy ATI Rage 128 PRO AGP 4X TMDS with the drivers provided by Windows. I did not download anything from ATI's site when XP was clean-installed. All has worked smoothly since the installation of SP3. After the latest Microsoft updates, however, my monitor no longer turns off despite me settings for it to do so. All was well with power management before the updates. Has anyone else had this trouble after the updates? Any ideas how to remedy this?

Using IE6 when I download a file, a window pops up and asks me if I want to Open or Save or Cancel. Now for some reason it just opens and runs the file for me. Is there some setting I can go back to the original. Thanks.

Vista Downgrading - Pulling Hair Out

I was hoping someone could help me with this whole process. I tried using nLite software to place drivers on with winxp install CD and I keep getting same "Cannot Find Hard Disk Error". This is to due to the fact that Xp does not load SATA RAID Drivers during Windows Installation. -No I dont Have a floppy drive or even a blank floppy!- I have a Sony Vaio Model: PCG-384L Series: VGN-FZ140E I found the right SATA Drivers for my HD. I guess what I'm asking is if there is any other software or boot utility that I can use that will successfully load the SATA drivers or emulate an "A" floppy drive. I'm open to other alternatives. -Daniel

Folders views keep changing
by Guest SunshineDi- 17 replies
- 543 views
Folders do not keep the viewing options we'd like. They keep resetting to "Detailed" and keep resetting the size of the window to 3/4 the page rectangular. So say for instance, we have one folder on our desktop that has 5 files in it. When it comes up I'd like for it to view "Icons" and to be a long rectangular box at the bottom of my monitor screen. It used to do this, but now it views as "Detailed" and a bigger window in the middle of my monitor. I can reset it and it will keep that setting (mostly) until we reboot (which every night we turn off the computer). I think I remember a long time ago having this problem on our other computer and som…

Windows shuts down when should restart
by Guest John Trauger- 0 replies
- 172 views
I support an automation lab. Sometimes systems seem to shut down when they are supposed to restart. I have never caught a system in the act, but I see it in the automation logs. The most common time for this to happen is switching between OSes. Each system has 4 OSes (xp,vista, 32,64, mix 'n match). The system uses batch files to set up a change in OS. The shutdown command used in the batch file is shutdown -r -f Are there known cases where a XP or vista machine shuts down instead of rebooting? Googling this sort of thing gets me huge numbers of useless (for my current problem) "my windows won't shut down" pages.

opening sound corrupted? 1 2
by Guest Jo-Anne- 35 replies

This is a trivial problem, but I wonder if there's something I can do to fix it. Ever since I received my new Dell notebook last month (WinXP, SP2 then but SP3 now), the Start Windows sound begins OK but then has some hesitations in it toward the end. All the other sounds are normal. I'd be grateful for suggestions. Thank you! Jo-Anne

Is there a way to allow the blue screen to hold to allow the user to read it? Do you use the 'pause break' key? -- Jeremy
