I restored my Win XP system from an image backup. This backup was of SP 2. After restoring, MS Update installed SP3. Thereafter I sometimes get the following message during boot: "The system has reached the maximum size allowed for the system part of the registry. Additional storage requests will be ignored". Can anybody tell me if they have ever heard of this message and what might be causing it? I have fewer programs on my machine now, when i am getting the message than I did before the restore, before the message appeared.

Hi Everybody, I have a set of PDC and WTS running on Server 2008 (Enterprise x64). I have problems accessing files that seem to be SMB related. Server 2008 uses SMB2. Somebody told me that I could activate SMB1 on those servers. I have created a 32Bit DWORD called SMB1 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrenControlSet\LanmanServer\Parameters and set the value to 1. (on both servers) This did not have any effect, netmon still reports SMB2. Can anybody help? Thanks for your time Ole

What eve media I install, CD, DVD, Flash Cards, USB drives etc. nothing auto starts. Even though I have a check mark in "prompt me each time to choose an action". What's going on?

I have a question about this folder. From what I've researched, it has to do with system restore functionality. All well and good. But curiosity go the better of me and I delved into the folder and find it take up an incredible amount of disk space. Also, when I run a defrag, which I do about once a week, using a program which is very fast and I can actually sit there and watch the disks defrag, when it comes to this folder, it takes forever. When I looked into the folder, I see threre sub-folders, each starting with _restore. One is 5Gb in size and has 8,879 files and 96 folders and says the date modified is 9-14-08 One is 4.89Gb in size with 20,364 fi…

No option to choose domain or "this computer" (no "log on to" field)when RDP (Remote Desktop) via Cisco VPN Hi, I have a setup in which users sometimes VPN to a network, and then RDP to a server. Several users log in ok to the terminal server, but for two users Remote Desktop does not show the field with the domain selection (Log on to), so they cannot be authenticated (VPN works ok - they connect without any issues). And of course when they log in from local LAN (not via VPN), everything is ok. Using domain\username or usern...@domain.com does not help. Adding various DNS suffixes to VPN connection properties does not help. This is a Cisco VPN, and RDP…

We've got a dell dimension xps_r, (intel se440bx mainboard). We shut down the computer from windows xp - shoft shut down. The computer is plugged into a surge protecter power strip which we also turn off at night. When we turn the power strip back on, the computer starts without pushing the "on" button. This had been happening for several months (since we upgraded to windows xp from windows 98). Now it has begun to print out an almost blank page from our hp laserjet 4L printer at boot as well. (The page has one letter, a "U" on it). Our virus program isn't finding any problems (avira antivir). I had alot of problems getting the printer to function…

Crossposted to .general and .customize. Hi, Have a strange XP Pro SP2+ non-problem but an annoyance I'd like to ask about. In essence, Win Explorer is changing folder names. I know it'll do that with user accounts and depending on who's logged onto what account, but this is different and it recently caused a little more than simply annoyance in looking for a folder I not only knew existed, but even had the path for. It's hard to explain so I'll do it a few different ways<g>. If that fails, I can put it up on a web site for the asking to show what I mean. Emphasis added by me: In windows Exporer, the TITLE bar shows the file path a: C:\…

Hello: I need to copy several gigs of data from one server to another. In the middle of the copy I keep getting an error saying the path is to long and then the copy crashes. I have looked at some utilities for this but really do not want to buy something. Does anyone know what I can use? Harrison

Hi, I have a requirement to allow a 64bit application running under Server 2003 R2 x64 to call a 32 bit dll. (The dll is from a third party so I'm stuck with 32 bit). FRom what I've managed to find the way to do this is by adding a COM wrapper around the 32 bit dll. Is this the best/only way to achieve this? Any pointers to documentation for Server 2003 that describes this would also help. --------- Regards Jackson

I have searched the forum and can't find a post on this topic. When scheduling a backup, same time every day, it fails to run. There is no error, just does not run. When checking the backup log it shows nothing. Can run manual backups with no problem so it seems to be a scheduling issue. User rights are ok for this operation so am unsure why it fails. Any help appreciated. This o/s is updated to sp/2. Thanks. -- Doug B

I have AVI types associated with VirtualDub 1.8.1. But I've just noticed that if I view a folder as Thumbnails the AVI files just get a default VirtualDub thumb, not a small image. Anyone have any suggestions what might have changed to cause that please? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

Running XP SP2. The mouse and keyboard stopped working. Keyboard is PS2 and Mouse is USB. I tried different USB ports with no success. The computer starts and is running but I can not see the XP log on screen because the flat screen is in energy save mode and says move mouse or touch keyboard to return to normal mode. I plugged the flat screen into my lap top in it is working ok so the problem is not the flat screen. The keyboard lights for about 1 to 2 seconds when I cut on the computer but then the lights go out and keyboard is not working. Any suggestions on how to fix. Thanks for all replies.

Hi All, I am involved in a project where we need to have cretin print jobs sent to specific trays. If these print jobs are sent individually they print to the correct trays. if they are sent together, that is in quick succession, they print to the wrong trays. we have found that if we send these jobs together and pause the print queue and pause each individual print job the release each print job separately from the print queue they print fine. Is there a way to setup an automatic 'pause' or 'sleep' between print jobs? Windows Server 2003 R2 multiple printer type but all HP's Thanks in Advance

Hi I want to be able to use a user defined variable to then call a previously set variable based on the value entered by the user. Is this possible? e.g I have variables set IP0 xxx.xx.xx.xxx set IP1 xxx.xx.xx.xxx set IP2 xxx.xx.xx.xxx set IP3 xxx.xx.xx.xxx set IP4 xxx.xx.xx.xxx If the user is prompted for a number set /p NO=Enter Workstation Number: - user enters 4 set TEMP=IP%NO% - so this is now IP4 How do I now get it to use variable IP4? i.e copy \\%IP4%\\logs ......... As if I do copy \\%temp%\\logs it goes to IP4 not the IP address. Cheers Rich
