I've been trying to get my computer back up and running several times now. I'm running a Dell XPS2010 and I've had many, many problems. I've recently reverted back to XP after many many months of crappy drivers for Vista causing all kinds of headaches. I try to install the new Windows search program only to have it tell me I need to enable terminal services. I go to services....and it's not there. Nor, as far as I can tell, is it anywhere on my computer. I reinstalled from a regular Media Center edition disk (with valid key) and many things are missing, including Media Center. However, I'd really like to figure out to install terminal services since …

Why is it that after I have downloaded every upgrade in the book, including Service Pack 3, when I go into the upgrade site, it now requests that I validate Windows XP and then will not validate and tells me I may have a counterfiet copy? Can anyone tell me where to go and how to overcome this. I have been using this program from some time. Upgraded from Me to XP with this copy of XP, but it now demands that I spend $99 to get a validation copy or what ever. What is going on? Briandp

Under what circumstances can a user's registry hive under HKEY_USERS remain loaded (or get reloaded) after a Windows XP system is rebooted--but before the user logs on? I'm hearing about users who are losing their local profile because their hive is in use even after a reboot. We use an antispyware program that loads all the user hives while it runs. If it crashes, the hives it loads don't unload from HKEY_USERS; a reboot normally clears this up. But a very few users are reporting that the HKEY_USERS entries persist even AFTER a reboot (which I didn't think was possible). I've not been able to see it for myself; someone else unloaded the hives manua…

I have created a few scheduled tasks which will run a .BAT file. The BAT file contains a line to run NTBACKUP. If I run the .bat file from command line, NTBACKUP starts. If I run the Scheduled Task from Task scheduler, it will shows it runs and quits after a few seconds. Properties of the task: Run: "C:\Scripts\Weekly Backup.bat" Start In: c:\Scripts From the task scheduler's log: "Weekly Full Backup.job" (ntbackup.exe) Started 9/20/2008 7:29:45 PM "Weekly Full Backup.job" (ntbackup.exe) Finished 9/20/2008 7:29:49 PM Result: The task completed with an exit code of (0). Any idea?

We want to give a user access to a server via Remote Desktop and only give them access to a single program. This works perfectly fine, howerver when the user (or us as Administrators) close the program, the program closes but their is no way to exist out of the session unless you disconnect. By no way I mean the screen is just blue, looks like explorer.exe. I have a Windows 2003 Server Environment. Thank You

Hi there I have about 60 of the LUCOMS~1.exe running in my task managers' processes window. I've tried to terminate them but am not allowed, I've checked other peoples posts and they all seem to only have the problem of one process sucking their cpu dry. I installed spybot but it didn't remove them, they all take up exactly 32k of memory, and my commit charge is 847M/978M (I'm pretty sure this is a bad thing - as is having 123 processes running when I'm typing on here, with explorer notepad and the taskmanager the only other things open). Anyway. Basically, can anyone suggest a way for me to remove all these processes - I can see from other posts that at cer…

We have that infernal Zlob trojan, nothing else seems to remove it, maybe we need to reload Windows? Thanks.

Hi, Before installing SP3 when i came to unlock a computer it used to remember my username so all i had to do is enter the password. Now after installing SP3 the user name is blank and has to be entered each time. So now when a computer is locked I can't easily tell who locked it. Is it possible to set it so the username is remembered with SP3 Tom

I wanted to write a batch file for comparing files in the current directory with those in another directory in terms of file size. And the following is what I have so far: @echo off rem compare files in the current directory with those in another directory rem in terms of file size. rem parameter to this batch ("the other directory") should include the path separator rem (backslash) if it is a proper directory spec rather than say "<drive letter>:" if "%1"=="" ( echo Usage %0 the-other-dir goto :end ) for %%f in (*.*) do ( set fn=%%f echo %fn% set fn2=%1%fn% echo %fn% for %%G in (%fn%) do set fz1=%%~zG for %%H in…

Hi all, I have recently upgraded my machine to Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 edition. I have a Sapphire X1950 Pro graphics card and I downloaded the latest Vista x64 drivers for it. They installed fine, but the video performance leaves a little to be desired! It's as if the hardware acceleration has been turned down a little. With the driver installed, the hardware acceleration options are greyed out so I can't check them. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling them with Catalyst 8.8 but after doing that I couldn't even launch the Catalyst Control Center. I tried an older version of CCC+Drivers (version 7.7 I think) and that inst…
