I'm going to try and explain this as best as I can...I'm stumped and need some ideas. We have a marketing company who developed a presentation video for us. We used a personal website on an XP box to test the launching of the video and it worked fine - played audio and video and showed you the video controls (play, pause, stop, etc). We then attempted to apply the same code and files to our DEV and TEST webservers, both of which are running Windows 2003 R2 server. For whatever reason, the video will not play. Just a little black screen and it doesn't even show the video controls. We then applied the same code and files to a windows 2000 test box on a…

Is it possible to disable the warning when you manually change the file extension in Explorer on XP SP3? I do this on a regular basis (changing MPG to AVI due to certain limitations in PowerDVD with closed captions), and it's rather annoying to have to confirm it every time. I've googled the issue, and a few places said it couldn't be done, but I couldn't find anything on any sites that I consider reputable. Thanks, Rob

I am trying to print to a certain printer which is connected via IP. I can ping the printer, install and reinstall the printer, browse to the printer web interface via IP but I cannot print to it. All of the other computers in the office can print to it except me. I checked my event logs and I did notice this warning: tcp ip has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent tcp connect attempts (event ID 4226). I have been searching all week all over the internet and no one has a solution to this issue. The Microsoft support center is suggesting that there could be a virus on the machine. I ran my antivirus only to rule it out and no…

I have an old 2000 Citrix farm that I am supporting. It should be replaced with all new hardware and 2008 server within the next 6 months or so, but that's all tied up in budget. So we have to keep it running. (it could more than a year before the budge gets approved, so we can't depend on it) However, The DC that is running the License service is dying. Environment is 100% XP clients, all are on the same LAN. 10 Terminal Servers, 3 DC's Existing License Server has: 25 Windows 2000 Terminal Services Client Access License (Type OPEN) (10 are issued dating from 2006, up till last week) 450 Builtin In (the main bulk of our users) 14 Temporary Windows 20…

Does anyone know how to get the application instance of a COM object from a ProcessID using .NET 2.0 or greater? My goal is to call a function in a COM object running in a session. TIA.

Hi all, We have a problem with a XP machine here where the following error shows it trying to double click on a mapped network drive in My Computer. Windows cannot find ',.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly. To search for a file, click the start button and then click search. To confirm the file is ,.exe [comma].exe. Other mapped network shares can be accessed, and this particular one can be accessed also by right clicking it and selecting Explore or by using Windows Explorer. I have tried disconnecting and remapping the drive and also creating a new directory on the server, and copying the data in there, still the same error. Can a…

I have a 2003 standard server running terminal services in application mode that has been in place for about 3 years. In the past week or so the client has been complaining of poor performance, laggy screen display, etc. This is only happening from sessions initiated on a thin client, sessions using a PC and Remote Desktop Connection software are fine. This appears to be sporadic and can be temporarily resolved by either rebooting the thin clients with the issue, or in at least a few instances, rebooting the network switch the thin clients are connect via. Performance stats on the terminal server look fine, very low CPU usage, plenty of available m…

Continuing from a related thread below. Before posing a question on a new twist in the plot, let me review where I am. My XP PC's local drive failed. I replaced it with a new one. There was a d-drive in the system. When I installed XP, I mistakenly ended up with: c: New drive f:: Now the local drive with it's past folders. 85% full This I did not want. I wanted the new drive to be local and certainly didn't want the drive letter change. From the earlier thread below, it looks difficult to do anything about that. Meanwhile the computer shop where I took the "dead" disk finds it's alive, and quickly copy the contents to an external drive that I provided.…

A few days ago a strange window started appearing on my son's computer every time he turns it on and Windows loads to the desktop. Windows loads, his desktop displays, but on the desktop another window displays (taking up about 1/2 the screen) that looks somewhat like the Windows Explorer Window but there is nothing listed in the blank area below the toolbar (where it says "File Edit View Favorites Tools Help"). On the top left, in the blue area above the toolbar, it says "Common". If I select File, the dropdown menu appears and the first item listed at the top of the dropdown menu is ATI CATALYST® Control Center. I'd like to attach a screenshot but I …

Is there any Microsoft approved Registry Cleaning program available. I can find several programs available on the web, but my Antivirus software guru's say it is not a good idea to run these programs as they might do more damage than good. I would like to remove all of the extraneous registery entries that tend to slow down XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards,
