Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

Hi, Suppose if I want to start a program which exists in my start menu, it does not work. It opens up the dialog that allows us to choose which program we want to execute. It is behaving as if this file is not associated with an exe. Even an exe file is not getting file- associated. Moreover, when I try to change the system time/date it throws a error message box saying Cannot find file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe This sounds like a virus problem to me. Any idea on tackling this without the use of antivirus software...? -deostroll

I'm running Server 2003 Std. SP2 (fully up to date). I had an 130GB IDE HDD (letter D:) that I replaced with a 1TB (that's terabyte) SATA drive. After hooking it up, it showed up as the G: drive, with space reported correctly. Then I used a tool called SelfImage (highly recommended BTW) to mirror the entire IDE disk on to the SATA one. When that was over, I went into the logical volume manager, deleted the old letter assignment (D:), the new drive's letter assignment (G:) and rebooted. When Windows came up again, I went into the volume manager and assigned the letter D: to the 1GB SATA volume. That went great, except that now Windows Explorer thinks …

I ran the wizard in Server 2003 to setup a VPN which users are dialing into successfully. However I have now been asked to setup a point to point VPN. Can someone direct me to resources which show how this can be done, or outline the steps necessary to achieve this?

Hi All, We have just begun a migration of legacy and new PC's. Both the systems are needed to run in parrallel for at least a year due to SLA etc. We use a 4 port KVM switch (which has USB and PS2) connections. When we plug in the new PC's to the USB port there is no problem. When we conntect the old NT4 legacy PC's to the KVM we can't get the mouse to work. We have attempted to reboot while connected but still not joy. Can anyone offer any advise please. Thanks. -- Flinty

I am taking a look at a Dell laptop for a friend. They were 'downloading' iTunes (i'm not sure if they were actually downloading or trying to install iTunes) and their laptop, running Vista, froze. On restart they got the 'computer was not shut down correctly' menu, and starting up in safe mode or normally brings a blank screen with just the mouse pointer visible. The mouse pointer responsds to touchpad movement. The windows splash screen shows, and when the screen saver comes on it is visible. Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Ctrl-Shift-ESC have no effect. I have seen several posts about this online but with no real solution for the ones that the task manager is n…

I am not sure what happened in June 2008 to our computer but it stopped having most of the windows functions. We do not have paint,calculator,volume control,and many other things. To top it off whenever we put a cd rom in the drive it will not run it on the computer because it doesnt recognize the drive. There is only a c drive now and it is driving me nuts here. A friend tried system restore multiple times and we located the date the problem occured but the system will not restore we get a message stating that it cannot be restored to the earlier date. Any ideas? Yes I have the Cd Rom that came with the computer however I cannot restore from Cd Rom if the…

Are there any downsides to converting to FAT32? Thanks,

In Windows XP Pro SP3 (don't know if it happens in other versions), if I attempt to Empty an empty Recycle Bin, it asks me if I want to delete 'WINDOWS'. I was smart enough to say NO. Shouldn't that option be grayed out when your recycle bin is already empy?

I have XP Home on my main computer and Windows 2000 Pro on a wireless remote computer. Sympatico is my ISP and has provided Bell Canada "Security Manager" (includes firewall) and a wireless "ZWire" router. I have set up "Shared Documents and Printers" on both computers. I am able from the main computer to sign on to the remote computer and can see "Shared Documents" as well as printers installed on the remote computer. However, the reverse does not work, i.e. the remote computer does not have access to the main computer "Shared Documents" and printer. Windows Firewall has been configured on both computers to allow access to "Shared Documents & Printers"…

Even since reinstalling Windows XP and upgrading to SP3, I have an additional directory under "documents and Settings." I did have User Accounts and My Name. Now there is a third one, Administrator. I can't get into certain programs because I get a message telling me that the program has not been installed for this user. I am the only person using this computer and I am the administrator as well. I have made changes to allow me full access but I still don't have it. My favorites don't show up in Internet Explorer either. I need help to get this back to normal. System restore won't work--I already tried that. Pat

When I was using 98se, I had the default icon set to %1, and this would cause windows explorer, to show every file icon that was a picture file, to show the picture as the icon. How do I do this for XP Pro?
