Hello all, I have a file on a Win2k server that looks to have a very long file name and be buried under a lagre amount of subfolder. When I try to delete it nothing happens, when I try to view it's properties I get the message: "the properties for this item are not available" So, I'm unable to move/rename/delete the file, any ideas?

On a daily basis I go to Yahoo Finance to read articles on the Stock Market in view of my stock investments. Often the articles would display the charts of the stocks in between the paragraphs and there could be anywhere between three to five charts shown. But today I am unable to view the charts. The articles are there alright, but where the charts should be in each case is only a black outlined rectangle with a red "X" on the top left corner in a black outlined square. What could have gone wrong? Thanks

I'm experiencing the symptoms as described in this article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239887); my pc stop responding after shutdown. I want to download the Shutdown Supplement, but the Download button is only a picture. (So near, yet so far...) Where can I find the Shutdown Supplement?

On the Virtual server host I schedule NTbackups for the guests. I do not shutdown or save the state on the virtual guests as I thought SP1 supports this method of guest backups. The ntbackup job backs up the folders where the *.vhd, *.vnc and *.vsv files are located. The ntbackup jobs finish successfully, however I get the following message in the virtual server event viewer when the ntbackup begins: The VSS writer failed to get the properties of the virtual machine "virtual machine name". The virtual machine is allowed for Offline backup only. I noticed that this message only occurs for 2003 guests, the 2000 guests do not produce this message. C…

Hi, what do you do when your server has no floppy drive... doesnt ARS demand an ARS diskette?

When I press Win+E to start Windows Explorer, I get a dialog box with this message: "Windows cannot find '(null)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." Explorer starts up anyway, despite this error. If I start Explorer by typing "explorer" in the Run dialog, I don't get that error message. The other Winkey combinations seem to be working properly. Only Win+E seems to be affected. There seems to be something screwy in the way that Win+E is calling Explorer. Somebody suggested running SFC, but that didn't fix this problem. Any ideas?

Greetings, After all that is loaded on a fresh boot up seems to be completed (the drive light shows little/no activity), I notice that there is a 25 second delay to make a connection to the Internet. I use a cable modem FYI. I found out that a service called svchost is listed in one of my ~28 processes, but never does connect the computer to the Internet until a program requests for Internet connection, at which point a long delay and time-out errors on auto-up-date software(s) occur. I've gotten into a routine to check my e-mail first using Outlook Express just so that there is a connection when it's needed. Can anyone tell me how to have this process…

I have posted this in the Excel forum but no joy. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas relating to this We have an excel spreadsheet on a network drive. One user accesses it in the head office and other accesses it over VPN connections. Sometimes when people access it and someone else has it open they don't get the popup to say that it is already open. Is there some setting for this that needs altering on the file? Also why would you get disk full errors when you try and save changes although their are no quotas or limits for any user?
