After boot-up, and then launch IE, the browser just sits there empty for several minutes sometimes. Then, the home page pops up finally and web browsing continues normally after that. During the time the browser is blank, there is no "Local Area Network" icon (with the little blinking green lights) in the system tray. After the web starts working, the little network icon (with the two little monitors) appears in the tray. IE 7, 32 bit. WinXP64 SP2. It used to work no problem. Nothing in my hardware has changed. What gives?

Hi!! As Admin I can check/uncheck the Protected mode option from within IE no problem. As a Domain User, the option is greyed out. not Group Policy. Running an RSOP on the local machine shows Protected mode for all zones as Disabled, yet the box is still checked and greyed out rendering our new TS useless for the moment. Any ideas? Paul.

Any help appreciated. Bill

Hello, I am trying to modify a script from the Windows 2008 server resource kit to fit my needs. I am wondering if anyone can help in this effort. Here is what I have for the script: '========================================================================== ' ' VBScript Source File -- Created with SAPIEN Technologies PrimalScript 2007 ' ' NAME: UDS_UserFolders_Extended_Provision_DFS.vbs ' ' AUTHOR: Dan Holme , Intelliem ' DATE : 11/12/2007 ' ' USAGE: ' cscript.exe UDS_UserFolders_Extended_Provision_DFS.vbs UserFolderPath ' [dfs:Y /server:<servername> ' /userfirstname:<first name> /userlastname:<last name> ' ' Creat…

Auto-update downloaded SP3. Before I agreed to install, I (wisely) backed up. After the install, I get the error msg: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt <windowsroot>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe" After restoring said file from my backup, I still can't boot. I just get a black screen. Admittedly, I forgot to try safe mode before just restoring my entire drive from the backup. (Why not? That's why I did the back up in the first place.) MS says the file is not corrupt (which would explain why restoring it didn't solve the problem) They also say that the file is unchanged in SP3 (which tells me that redownloa…

We have an XP SP3 computer that freezes after a while of sitting there. For instance, in the morning, often we will sit at the computer and we are able to move the mouse around and single click on different icons in the Dekstop. But if we double-click on something (like and Internet Explorer shortcut, or even a folder), the Desktop seems to freeze -- we can still move the mouse around, but nothing else can be higlighted and we can no longer create "boxes" by clicking and dragging. Interestingly we can often then hover the mouse over the arrow that expands the system tray and it will say "Show hidden icons", but if we click on that, that task bar will fe…

The drive or network connection that the short "Service Manager.Ink" refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again. This has been popping up since after I logon to my computer. What's causing this and how I fix it?

I noticed how a lot of are spam recently seems to be coming from the Windows 98 banter newsgroup. I wonder why that is and does anyone know why it is particularly just mainly from this newsgroup recently?

Does anyone know what this message means and if so is there anything that can be done to correct it. Almost each time I close Outlook 2003 in Windows XP SP3 I get an error message Unexpected Memory Leak. " An unexpected memory leak has occured. The unexpected small block leaks are: 13-20 bytes: TObjectList x 2, Unknown x2" Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support. HankL

Now that I found the Clipboard viewer, I was trying to capture the desktop with the "Print Screen"button, but it does not work. When I open the viewer, all I see is blackness. When I paste it to Paint, same thing, blackness. Is this a problem with the keyboard, or the applet? How do I find out? Do I need to update something? Any suggestions would be great. Thank you. Sirius.

I installed windows 2003 server and also Terminal Server. Do I need a separate license for Terminal server? I do have windows 2000 Terminal server license number. Would that work for Windows 2003 server? Right now I am using (Windows 2003 server) temporary one which is good for 120 days.

I have used VMWare and am now trying to use the hyperv feater in 2008. All my VMs seem very slow in Hyperv. It takes over an hour just to install, even just an XP system. After install and after the integration services are installed, they are still slow. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks

Hi there I have a 2008 server running mainly for remote logins via terminal services. I have set up this server in workgroup mode with no AD. I have some shares that I want a certain group to have auto mounted when they login via TS. is this possible? Also, I want to hide a hard drive, say Z:, from certain users/groups. I have already denied them access to that drive, but now i want it to be not visible in my computer when they log in. is that possible as well? Thanks a lot.
