Hi sbs 2003 premium. I have a peculiar problem with one win xp client pc. After booting the pc logs in fine then says things like loading settings and creating network connections etc but as soon as it is about to display the desktop, icons and task bar; it stops and all we are left is with the standard blue windows xp desktop background i.e. no icons or task bar or anything else besides background. Booting in 'Safe Mode with Networking' also gives the same result and so does login in remotely via RWW. I can open the computer management for the pc from sbs server and also browse pc's drive from the server's network places. This leads me to believe th…

Dear All I think IE7 was installed prior to SP3 and we have AVG Anti Virus running, Spybot and Windows firewall. I am reluctant to turn these off unless absolutely necessary as we are not sure what is causing this security patch to install. Thank you Barry

Several weeks ago my system spontaneously changed from displaying files sorted by name in open and save as... dialog boxes to displaying by, what I think is, sorted by date modified. Is there any explanation for this and is there any way I can revert to a sort by name display?

Here's an interesting scenario. I've got this issue on two XP SP3s. We got dual monitor AGP cards in both. Two LCD monitors have been working on both machine just fine until one Microsoft update later and one monitor is not working anymore on each computer. I have swapped monitors and cables with known good ones, and that is not an issue. The Display applet in Windows shows both monitors but when you click on number 2 and put a check in the box to extend your display and click Apply, the screens go blank for a second and come back with only the first display with the box unchecked. These two machines are in different buildings. Uninstalling and reinstallin…

This is a follow up to the last thread I participated "Re: Using Registry Repair Tool to fix your..." I njust wanted to thank Mart, Mike, Loom, Heather, Alan and several other people who through the years have helped me resolved problems with Win ME. I finally decided to upgrade my system to Windows Vista Home Edition and have tucked away the old box. I truly appreciate your help. Cheers! -- Ed

Hi I get the following error on Windows XP x64 Professional when I try to do a Microsoft update. I tried to run Microsoft update by right clicking on the update program. Here I selected 'Run as', and unchecked 'Run this program with restricted access. -Start- Administrators Only To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure. Note If you are running a Windows 2000 (except DataCenter), Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 operating system, you can run th…

I recieved a computer that came with the Vista OPS and was replaced with XP for whatever reason I have no telnet capabilities. When I try to telnet I recieve an error on the IE7 page stating that the device or protocol is not on my system. I do have Telnet on the system just no .exe file. Any suggestions? Thank you if you can help me. -- Denise

Hello, We have a Windows 2003 SP2 file server in a 2003 native mode AD that uses Global Security groups for controlling share level access. Once a user is added to the security group, the permissions don't seem to be active right away, and they continue to get access denied errors until they Log off and back on to their workstation. Why is the new group membership not recognized right away and is there any way to have it apply without the user doing a relogin? All of our PC's are XP SP2. Thanks! Justin

I just upgraded to xp from 2000 and now when I boot up, the floppy drive is accessed after xp has finished booting up. Any ideas as to what could be causing this??

Right now, I am thinking of "maybe" doing a system restore to August 15, which is before I got this: Trojan Horse Dropper.Agent.JOC in AVG Anti-Virus. I have been doing some research and I am not sure if its a "false positve" and restore the file OR if its an actual virus and delelte the file from the vault. If I do a system restore to August 15 (which is pre SP3) do you know approximately how long would it take? THANKS.

Hi, is possible to do a native port forward on W2k3? example, if cames from 2121 port redirects to port 80 on the server... because I think that my router is blocking default ports like 80... the 211 port I can reach the server... Many thanks! thank you very much Mr Gates for Windows and MS!

System information on my XP PC tells me I have total physical memory of 1,024.00 MB, and Available physical memory of 491.98 MB. Does this sound right? Why the discrepancy?

When I use XP explorer to view the contents of a folder it freezes and does not show the contents. When I go into Task Manager it says the program is Not Responding. This only happens with a select few subdirectories. I suspect it may be due to a large file in the directory I am viewing and "thumbnails" possiblly set as the view option. But that is just a guess. Any ideas? How can I change the view options (i.e. to Details) without actually having to go into that folder? (since the problem is it freezes before I can get it). Thanks for the help.

I've followed the step-by-step guide for TS Session broker and TS Gateway but was wondering how to make both work together. With TS Session Broker, all TS servers are published on the DNS with the same farm name in a round robin fashion but TS Gateway manages TS servers with security group. HOw can one publish just the Gateway server to public facing and still achive load balancing using TS Session Broker without publish IP of the TS servers? Thanks.
