Hi, Some of my users received the messages below when they log on to a window 2003 terminal servers. But some don't. Why? "Windows cannot locate your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be propagated to the server. DETAIL: Network path was not found. " "Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes to your profile will be lost when you log off." -- Michelle

My battery went dead on my lap top. When I went to turn it back on after charging it, it came up telling me that I didnt shut down properly. So I had an option to boot back up in safe mode. I did, however when the 20 or 30 seconds went by, it appeared it was starting back up, but it keeps coming back up with same options as before. I have tried to start back up with all options. My laptop will not get pass that point. Can anyone help me out with this issue. I didnt download anything. My laptop was up to date with everything, and nortons had did its scheldule scan, no virus' or problems where reported. Thank you, FoxieBrown

Some time ago I downloaded a beta version of Micosoft Office Visio Professional 2007 (Beta) [Version 12.0.4017.1006] I did nothing with it, but recently Windows wanted to validate the authenticity of my software for some reason. Everything was OK except for this beta program, so I decided to uninstall it. When I did I got the following error message : Setup Error Setup cannot find the required setup controller file. Either there was a network error, an error reading from the CD, DVD, or other installation media,or a problem with the package you downladed. Any suggestions what to do? -- Robert from Accrington

Hi All, I am using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0 (MSXML4.DLL v4.20.9841.0) in "classic" ASP to Post a request from one IIS web site to another. The sites are located on the same server. There are times when my XMLHTTP.send() command (and sometimes other commands) fails with the error: "This method cannot be called after the send method has been called". The error is caught in the JScript code's "catch" block. I have a JS file that contains the object declaration and the code that uses it. This object/code is then used by a number of different pages and processes. The order of steps in the code are: //------------------------------------------ // Defin…

I am still fighting this HP ZV8000 laptop on some networking issues. I had tried to hook it up to a router to make a simple network. I could not get the machines to talk to each other. As a test, i got rid of the router and did a simple peer to peer network using a crossover cable. On the laptop now, i can ping the other machines IP. I cannot ping the laptop from the desktop. I set them both up staic IP 192.168.1.(200,201). If i do a local loopback test on the laptop (127.0.0.1), it pings ok. If i try to ping the IP of the laptop on the laptop, it times out. Windows firewall is off. No other firewall is on the machine. As a test, i hooked a USB network…

Hi, I've just been asked to look at licensing for a client, and I have a couple of questions, that I'd like to get straight in my head, as I still find the whole licensing area complex! If the client is running 1x File/Print Server (Win 2003 standard server), 1x Exchange Server (2003), 1x Update/Web Server (Win 2003 standard server), & 1x ISA Server (2006) and they have 10 users, they need: 1) 10 Windows CALs cover all 4 servers, as long as servers are configured in "per seat" mode? 2) If they brought 10 Core CALs this would cover them for all 4 Windows Servers, and the Exchange server (as well as any SharePoint/SMS servers they might get in…

Hi everyone, I noticed the volume of my music was not as loud as it was in the past when playing CD's or MP3 files with Windows Media Player 10. I had the volume turned all the way up in Media player and also in Realtek HD Audio Manager, but the sound was just not anywhere near as loud as it was before. I recently un-installed "Discover stream hub / Discover.exe" and thought that this might have had something to do with it, but that does not seem to be the case. I decided to try to play an mp3 file with Realplayer and found that with the volume turned up in realplayer, the mp3 files sounded normal again, plenty of volume. What surprised me is that if I c…

I am running SBS on our network and have set up a shared calendar accessible to all users which is located in our public folder and added to Favourites on each PC. Is there any way to set appointments in the shared calendar which will send reminders to all users without having to copy to their personal calendars.

Ever since we upgraded our 2003 RIS server with SP2, which replaced RIS with Windows Deployment Server, the server randomly locks up. It stops responding to pings/network requests, and you can't terminal into it. If you go to the console, it'll let you get past the login screen, but then it sits there. You have to hard power it down and bring it back up. This happens about once every two or three days, especially after we RIS a (relatively) large number of computers. Has anyone else seen this, or have a fix for it? Thanks!

Unlocker is a freeware that detects which process is holding the file and closes the handle so that the file can be deleted. I have just installed in on Windows Vista 64bit versin, but it didn't work. There was no Unlocker for 64bit Windows as fat as I have searched. Is there any alternative?
