Xp Pro sp2. My network, Right click on the lan icon. It show only the microsoft client but no protocols are installed! =8-o But everything work: browse the workgroup, navigate on Internet, I have a PC name, workgroup and IP address, BUT I CAN'T NEVER CHANGE ANYMORE because I have no more access to the TCP protocol icon. How can I get back the icon under Lan Property? === More info: If I try to fix it reinstalling the tcp/ip I got the nic device to go out of order FOREVER with a red X in hardware properties and in that case Reinstalling XP doesn't fix the problem nor Reinstalling Nic driver. Removing the current nic is impossibile because xp says it is in …

I created an account that has limited access to AD for remote administrator of a remote DC. That remote administrator needs to have admin rights to that DC, but I don't want him to have any rights to my other DCs. How do I give them local admin rights without giving him rights to my other DCs? thanks -- dee

Hi, I have had to rebuild the DC and have used the same machine and domain names. I have a few client machines (vista) that log onto the domain. Is there an easy way to re-connect these machine into the domain without having the client (vista) recreate the user accounts. (ie where the vista machine seems to create a new user firstname.001) THanks

I just installed the first version. Does downloading all the updates effectively make it SE or is that a different creature? If so, is there a way to upgrade free? Thanks,

win2k3 sbs. Printing worked fine until reboot yesterday. On the server console: When I print from application/test page, everything works fine. When I try "dir > \\servername\printername" I get an error "The parameter is incorrect." I tried "print /d:\\servername\printername c:\testfile" and get "Unable to initialize device \\servername\printername" I try from a client PC, works fine. It's like the server isn't allowed to print, but clients are. How can I test/fix...what parameters could be incorrect?

My daughter's significant other owns a 2006 Compaq laptop with an AMD 64 Turion. He has a lot of business files on it. Its running XP with SP2. It has a problem that I suspect is hardware, but may be the OS reacting somehow as well. It may be significant as well to say that it has Norton Internet Security and AV loaded version 2006. No Norton updates were ever done. May be significant as well to say that this laptop has always been slow as molasses running local apps, and accessing the internet. That's the least of their worries now. Presently, the laptop may turn off entirely without warning anywhere from a few minutes use to many hours of use. N…

Greetings, I've recently noticed that the Explorer right-click search doesn't work correctly. Maybe this is well known, but it's the first time I've noticed this. For example, use a "temporary" folder somewhere and create 2 text files and change their extension to '.aaa'. Note that the extension cannot be '.txt' or the problem isn't seen. Name the files something like test_1 and test_2 and keep the '.aaa' extension. Open each file in notepad and add some text, I used '111' and '222' in each file respectively. Then go to the temporary folder and initiate a search. Make your first search "*.aaa". And both files will be found. Then search again using the …

I have a Sony Vaio laptop - two years old. It came with XP but a few weeks later, they sent a VISTA upgrade disk. I just tried to instal VISTA. What a disaster! It turns out that the Vaio just doesn't have the memory or processor speed to run VISTA properly. I need to go back to XP. However, Sony never supplied XP disks and I never made a recovery backup. The recovery section on the hard drive now belongs to VISTA. I can download the original drivers from Sony's web site. But where do I get a copy of XP? I have the original Microsoft installation number taped onto the computer that, I assume, will work with any real copy of XP. Thoughts, pl…
