Hello, I have a weird problem where on one of our Windows XP SP2 computers suddenly won't run 16bit programs anymore. The same 16-bit software that worked fine last week and works fine on all the other computers (including computers with identical software, hardware and settings) just won't budge. I doubleclick the icon and nothing happens. We have of course tried reinstalling it, and uninstalling, deleting all files and registry settings and reinstalling it to no avail. I can see Wowexec gets loaded in task manager but there is no trace of the application. I assume a temporary virus infection, which is no longer evident or software installation overwrote o…

I was having so many problems after installing Service Pack 3 that I restored my computer to an earlier date. But the problem with my device driver is still hapenning, "Attention 23K/0HZ frequency out of range". I've used the update wizard and fould 1 update for the "Plug and Play Monitor Properties". I also tryed to adjust the harware accelerator and the screen refresh rate (to the next lowest rate..it is set at 60 Hertz) but this did not help. Do I need to try a driver update from the Misrosoft Cataloge if so which one? Also I'm now getting these new error messages on the Advanced systems error log: Wed, Sept 17, 2008 Service Control Manager…

I deleted the desktop shortcut for Rosetta Stone because it was not working. Now I cannot figure out how to replace it. How can I create a new desktop shortcut for my Rosetta Stone program? My OS is Vista Ultimate. Thanks.

After a Windows XP auto update, I started experiencing the following errors at startup: RunDll32.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point_except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCRT.dll. A second dialog box comes up and says RUNDLL ERROR loading P17RUNE.DLL The specific procedure could not be found. The auto update from Microsoft included an intel motherboard update, NVIDIA update, etc. I can't seem to get rid of this error and it was all caused by Windows auto update feature. Please help me to get rid of these frustrating errors...thanks!

I know Remote Desktop isn't strictly speaking "Terminal Services", but it seemed to be the closest match. After installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my home system, I cannot connect to it by Remote Desktop. The client seems to be trying to connect for a moment, and then automatically cancels less than a second later, with no error message (whereas I DO get an error if I try to connect to the wrong machine or port). I have tried connecting from outside my home network, from another PC on my network over the router's WAN interface, from the other PC directly to the local network address, and from the PC in question itself to the WAN interface (it won't l…

Hi We have a W2K8 configured as terminal server with a TS Gateway and TS Licensing server inn an SBS 2003 R2 domain. We can connect thru Remote Web Workplace (RWW) to the W2K8 TS. The connection works fine, and we are not experiencing any connections problems what so ever. We can also connect thru TS Gateway on the TS server, allowing us connection on port 443. When we connect thru the terminal server gateway, we can log on to the W2K8 TS. At random and persistently the RDP client will lose connection to the TS. The RDP client will reconnect time after time and so often that it is impossible to work. At times it will continuously connect, lose connecti…

I have recently just deployed my first 2008 terminal server. (Windows Server 2008 STD.) I noticed today that, when logged in as a user, I do not have tabs in Internet Explorer. I also noticed that the "New Tab" functions in the pull down menus is greyed out. I checkd the settings for tabbed browsing and it is enabled. I have also noticed that the administrator does not have this problem. Any ideas?

I'm trying to activate the Supplemental Language Services option to use right-to-left typing, but it asks me to put in the Windows XP disc so it can retrieve setup files. I do not have the Windows XP disc, and I was wondering if there is any other way to get the necessary files to activate this feature.

I have a folder on my desktop that I keep about 25 files in, each with a unique icon. When I open the folder the systems takes nearly 10 seconds to display these files, but only the first time I open it. This discovery or caching does not persist across a reboot. I do not notice this behavior on any other folder on the computer, nor does the computer behave oddly or slowly in any other way. Is there a way that I can eliminate or reduce this icon discovery time, or is this expected behavior? The machine is a Dell B120 with 1.4GHz/1G running Windows XP SP3. Thank you. W.
