IE6 Download Save Run
by Guest Tecknomage- 2 replies
- 222 views
This has to do with downloads using IE6. I made the mistake of designating a specific download file extension as "Do not ask..." I want to reset the extension so IE always asks what to do. How do I do this? Where's the Registry entry?

Hi, The file on my Win XP Pro SP2 PC called dmserver.dll - located here c:\Windows\system32\dmserver.dll - has a virus according to my anti-virus software and confirmed by virusscan.jotti.org where 5 of the AV checkers showed a positive. I've no idea how to restore a clean version of dmserver.dll can someone tell me how please? Extra important info.: Today I installed a new SATA hard disk and a SATA II controller card for it. After installation I pointed the XP 'found new hardware wizard' to the controller card's CD for the drivers, all seemed fine until I went to Control Panel -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management to forma…

FIrewire 400 connection between notebook and workstation
by Guest penciline- 2 replies
- 203 views
I inadvertently posted this in the Media Center newsgroup . . . What I want to know is how to connect my notebook and my workstation such that I can record the video signal from my notebook (a specific window on the notebook) onto the hard drive of my workstation via a firewire connection. I imagine that this type of connection vs. an S-video connection will enable the audio and video signals to be synchronized. Is this possible or should I be using a screen capture software on my notebook to record directly to the notebook's hard drive. If so, what software is recommended? (Adobe Captivate?) Sincerely- -=- penciline -=-

Hi, I can't seem to delete 5 folders that sit in my recycle bin, they all say their size is 0 KB's. If any other files are deleted and added to the recycle bin then I can delete them. If I try to empty the recycle bin I get the error: "Cannot remove folder <name>:cannot find specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name" Any ideas?

DFS errors on configuring replication
by Guest Geoff Lane- 8 replies
- 710 views
I've got two servers: Server1 is a recently rebuilt Win2k3 Standard R2 that was previously Win2k3 Standard. The rebuild was because VSS stopped working. Server2 is Win2k Server SP4. Both servers are DCs with Server1 holding all FSMO roles. For the rebuild, I transfered FSMO roles to Server2 then demoted Server1 before reformatting and installing the new OS. Once rebuilt, I tried unsuccesfully to promote Server1 to a DC and subsequently had to use ADSIEdit to clean up the AD before rebuilding again and then successfully promoting Server1, which now also holds the FSMO roles. Mindful of the advice in DFS Help, I've done all the configuration of DFS from…

Event viewer: "The server's call to a system service failed unexpectedly"
by Guest news.microsoft.com- 3 replies
- 413 views
Hi all, I have a seemingly untraceable issue on a Windows 2003 server -- every few seconds, an entry is being written into the system event log that reads: Source: Srv Event ID: 2000 Category: None Description: The server's call to a system service failed unexpectedly Data: 0000: 00040000 00540001 00000000 c00007d0 0010: 00000000 c000010a 00000000 00000000 0020: 00000000 00000000 00bd0334 My event log only goes back to the start of today, but there's 87000 entries exactly like this. So it's becoming rather a nuisance. Now I've done a lot of googling on this, but it seems to be unresolved; EventID.net doesn't list it in it's summary[1] and comments. H…

office file browser broken
by Guest Fredrated- 1 reply
- 208 views
When I take the file>open option for MS Office applications and try to navigate to an existing office file, the file browser takes 3 to 4 minutes to display a folder and file list. Then if I click on a drive letter or folder, it takes another 3 to 4 minutes to display the new list. Nothing seems to be cached, every click takes this long. Also, it is using a lot of cycles because other applications hang while the new list is being generated. Any ideas what is going on, or better, how to stop this behavior? I think this started after a recent windows update, but I am not sure. I am using XP service pack 2 and Office XP. Some Office apps are SP2, some…

For trouble shooting purposes, I would like to disable DrWatson. Each time Windows Explorer crashes, it runs and it too crashes. I am then forced to Alt-Ctrl-Del, and close down the crashed programs before I can resume work. Is there anyway I can do this? If I should choose to keep it disabled, what would the consequences be?
