Does anyone know of a way to allow non-admins to select and run the Wireless repair option? Every now and then the wireless network connection drops and the only way the customer can reconnect is to restart the system. We would like them to use the repair option. The repair option is grayed out if you do not have admin rights.

Hi, I've installed SP2 on a copy of our server in a virtual machine. The update is running through but when I restart the server I receive the following error message: "Service Control Manager: Windows could not be started as configured. A previous working configuration was used instead." This is exactly the same error as described in KB924690. Unfortunately they didn't post a fix for this error or write where to look at. The solution they have only prevent the message from appearing. SP2 on another server went fine.... Cheers

I help an elemantry school K-5 with the computer lab they have which has 32 XP Home computers that are part of workgroup. They do not have enough money for full time administrator or administrative software or even central domain administration. so I have to work with whatever free time I have to help. some kid(s) keep rotating the screen, change the wallpaper, install programs, and change settings. I added a guest account, the onlyway they can login is thrue the guest account, administrator accounts are locked with password changed frequently. I disabled right click. locked the control panel, and no display settings. the little creeps still manage…

Can anyone tell me if Terminal Services is available for XP home and if Win Vista all versions includes Terminal Services. My new laptop has Vista and I want to access my home desktop (xp home) during my vacation. Any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.

My hp pavilion ze5185 (Windows XP SvcPk 2) will just make a clicking/popping noise then turn off on its own. It used to do it once in a while when I was using it (was told that laptops sometimes have that problem but I never close mine up thus creating 'stress' on the wiring). But now it does the same thing after remaining inactive for about 15 minutes. No - I don't have a virus/trojan. Yes - I have my settings at NEVER - to never turn off, hibernate, etc. Yes - I have the latest updates. Perhaps there are conflicts in a driver? Haven't installed anything new in a long time. The computer is about six years old. Any ideas?

Hi, I would like to switch from user A to user B in windows XP automatically. I searched and found out that "%windir% \system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" will automatically switch user A. But, how to automatically login user B? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Vishnu.

Hello, I would like to start my broadband wireless and my VPN software prior to entering my windows logon so that I can connect to my corporate network and have all my network settings applied (drive mappings, etc.). I tried entering the path to those programs in HKLM\Software \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and it doesn't seem to work. I even tried creating a scheduled task to start on system startup but that didn't work either. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Cheers, Gary Hampson

Just purchased an HP DV6405 laptop with Vista Home Premium and have entered software removal hell. Trying to remove pre-installed Vongo. Lot's of 'net traffic about it, with suggestions to use the Windows Installation Cleanup Utility, pointing to msicuu2.exe. Downloaded it and when I try to execute it I get "permission denied" - "Microsoft VBScript runtime error." What's up with that?

I have always used a 19" monitor and my daughter just bought me a 22" wide flat screen monitor. My question is: what is the best resolution for this size.

Windows XP is a slowdown. However, what do you want more of in an Operating System? Feel free to reply.

When my XP SP2 with all updates system goes through shutdown the I now get a Stop 0X0000C5 blue screen andthen the system always restarts, even tho I want it to shut down.

On a Windows Server 2003 system I am working on, asp is shown allowed in the iis snap-in. When you put an asp file in the webroot directory with the html content, however, you can view the html pages in IE but the asp page will not show up. There is some redirection going on in the system, but I am not sure how it works. Could iis be redirecting pages according to their extension rather than their directory location? Is there something else I need to do to make asp work right? Any insight as to what may be our problem would be greatly appreciated.
