I am running a Win2K3 Standard Server w/SP2. HP DL360 Server HP Data Protector 6.0 HP/UX 11.xx client Running HP Data Protector 6.0 Cell Manager on W2K3. Windows Clients back up fine. HP UX client will back up fine to any other Cell Manager, but since they are remote, over the network backups take a very long time. When trying to backup, the Cell Manager contacts the client and the client connects back to send data, but gives error "IPC cannot connect, connection refused". Checked with HP, they requested trying Telnet to port 5555 on server and that fails, they state issue with OS. When trying "Telnet localhost.domain.name 5555" receive back "Con…

Given your suggestions, with my XP O/S, as a test, I conducted a search for a file that was located in C:\Windows\System32\DirectX\Dinput. What I discovered was that with Look In set to My Computer, the Search did not find the file, and with Look In set to Local Hard Drives (C:), it did - but, I had to make certain that Advanced Options was CHECKED. After closing Search, then reopening it, once again, I have to CHECK the Advanced Options box. I have no idea why Windows XP will not keep this setting and am hoping you may know. Many thanks once again for your insight and support, Gerry. Brianna

Hello, I am no longer able to play WAV content inside either Bookshelf 99 or Encarta 99 for Encarta Reference Suite 99. In Bookshelf 99, when I try to play any sounds under the category of "Sounds", I get the following error message: "MEDIA ERROR MMSYSTEM326 No wave device that can play files in the current format is installed" When I try to play a sound in Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 99, I get the following error: "There is a problem with your sound card configuration; refer to your sound card documentation or Windows Help to make sure your sound card is installed correctly." In both Bookshelf 99 and Encarta 99, all the other content, such as animation…

Hello Sometimes, when I send a Webpage with frames (whatever that is), it triggers my antivirus but I still send it. Anyway, I've just sent such a page to a friend with XP and he has phoned me to say that on receiving the email, Windows reported an error and shut down and he can no longer reboot it. The page in question was http://wjchess.jeffprod.com/wjc_2d_maj.php and no, this is NOT a way of advertising but a genuine question. (check my previous posts on the Microsoft server if in doubt) Can anyone help to begin to shed light on what has happened??? Thanks Dave Neve

I have a Windows 2003 Server that links together several computers in the network. The server is used as a domain controller and to store critical files for the computers connected to it. One of the applications is Wonderware and it opens screens that the users use to manage data being connected for production controllers. What happens is even if all the computers on the network are logged off certain files on the server can not be accessed for editing, and what is displayed is that a user has that file open. However, if the domain controller is unplugged from the network by physically unplugging the network cable. And then the file is renamed and save…

If I open a dos window (command prompt) and go full screen by pressing alt-enter and then exit by typing 'exit'/enter, my display goes blank. The same think happens if I press alt-enter a second time. After this I can toggle using alt-enter between a full screen dos window and a blank display. The keyboard seems to be fully functional. Knowing the keystrokes, I can shutdown or restart windows, but I cannot seem to restore my desktop without doing so. Also if I let the screen saver activate I seem to be in a permanent blank screen. Any suggestions. Thank you. -- Jim Ormsbee

My intention is to config my laptop for work with 2 completely different domains/companies. If someone could point me to one or more good docs/links that would be great. Some general questions: - First, I'm assuming that I can have two installs of WinXP on the same machine: am I right? - Do I need 2 different volumes? - Can I use the same CD for both installs? - Do I install Office2003 twice? If yes, can I use the same CD? - Can I share files/folders (e.g., a singe My Documents) between the two OS's? Thanks very, very much!

A minor annoyance, but for some reason there are windows that won't close from the taskbar using the mouse right-click, then left-click on "close". Alt-F4 always works, and so does using the red X in the top right, but when I want to quickly close selected windows from the task bar, I often receive the "blunk" beep (it is not followed by an error message of any kind). There is not a detectable error going on, like a non-responding program. This seems to happen randomly and then I manually close the window with the "X". I've experienced it with Internet Explorer windows as well as Windows Desktop Search. It happens several times an hour so I thought …

A recent power outage has resulted in the following problem for a client. All printers that are attached to PCs can print fine from the local PC, but when connecting to the terminal server, the printer shows up as the default printer for that session, but all print jobs fail to print. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printers. If I share the printer from the PC and then connect to it as a network printer (While in the terminal service session) I can print to it then. But no printing works through the terminal service session to the locally attached printer. Printing to other printers works fine. Retsrating the server has made no difference. Th…

Does anyone know the Meaning of the following XP message when attempting to open the "Modem Settings" Icon in the Control Panel? "Modem not installed properly. You should uninstall the modem drivers (using Control panel->Add/Remove programs), restart and install it again.

I am trying to convert a physical server into a Virtual Server. When I attempt to capture the image of a Dell Poweredge 2950, the capture progress goes wacko after 85% and the controller services takes all the available memory. The Deployment Agent ends up disconnecting and the image capture never completes. The Job history reports the below information: Capture progress: 10% (4912113 of 49121131) Capture progress: 20% (9824226 of 49121131) Capture progress: 30% (14736339 of 49121131) Capture progress: 40% (19648452 of 49121131) Capture progress: 50% (24560565 of 49121131) Capture progress: 60% (29472678 of 49121131) Capture progress: 70% (34384791 of 4912…

He said it short-circuited key software programs he counts on: Quicken for balancing his checkbook, Lotus Notes e-mail and a networking program that connects his home to the office. His Sony camcorder also doesn't communicate with the PC properly. "Basically they don't work," s…
