I am confused. As I usnderstand, I have to assign any new users to the "Remote Desktop" group for access purposes. I did that and I am still getting a prompt that the new user has to be assigned to the group. What else am I missing?

I know that IE7 Vista X64 does not run Java runtime environment. What other differences are there between Vista X64 and Vista X32? Also, aren't there a lot of web sites that use JRE and doesn't this cause major compatibility problems? TIA

I have scheduled task that executes a batch file and it runs without any errors. The first line of the file is "taskkill gtviewer.exe /f," then some file copies and moves happen, and the last line should open GTVIEIWER.EXE in maximized mode. I can run the batch file by itself without any problems. I can also open a command prompt as a different user and run the batch file successfully. When the scheduled task runs as the user who is logged on it completes successfully, BUT when the scheduled task runs as a different user than who is logged on to the PC, the program never fully opens, although if you look at processes in Task Manager it shows it is runn…

i'm having an on-going issue with a few users at my company. we have a print server that is running 2003 server, and we use AD, and all of our machines are running XP. the problem is that when certain users change their AD password, they lose their connection to the network printers. the only way to fix this in the past has been to "Start - Run" to the print server itself, where it will ask for the user's new password, and once it has the new password, the printers connect properly again. the odd thing is that not everyone is affected, as we have hundreds of users changing their passwords every day without having this issue. we have enough users with thi…

I run a dual-boot system with XP as my main os, & 98 as the other. I only got a handful of screen savers with XP, but have loads on 98. I am trying to copy some of these to XP. A few worked well by just copping the .SCR file to XP's windows directory & installing it. But this just doesn't work with some of the others, all I end up with is a blank screen. I recon I need more than the .SCR file with these, so I found .DLL's with same name as screen saver & copied these to windows directory, but still no joy. Can anyone help me out here? All the screen savers in question are from Microsoft Plus on win 98, some of which I downloaded from Microsoft …

I have a new computer. I had backed up my data to an external drive. Using Google Earth as an example, I restored it to its original location (c:\program files\google\google earth) After restoring this entire directory, I was able to run google earth as usual. But, google earth was not in the "Add or Remove Programs" list in the control panel. Why am I able to run google earth if it is not in the "Add or Remove Programs" list? Is google earth in the registry by doing this simple restore? I then "installed" google earth as usual, and the program worked just fine again, but this time, it WAS in the "Add or Remove Programs" list. So I'm curious as…

Most '98ers have probably made their peace with this, but for anybody who, like myself, continues to be dumbfounded that Microsoft elected to put the New Folder function in the Windows Explorer drop down menu rather than the context menu, "New Folder Here" is a nice freeware fix: http://www.downloadjunction.com/product/store/288/index.html I know download sites like this one are frowned upon, but the author of this fix, on his own site, has recently elected to bundle it with several others in a larger download. Two days after installation in W2K, and after one virus scan and spyware scan, no problems or unintended consequences to report. If you determine t…

Greetings, On my child's computer, one of the kids were apparently goofing with the Accessibility Control Panel and it got to the point where every key stroke--such as in a text document--took a 2-second press. I undid that setting and typing is fine. Except for log-in. Now, to log in requires they need to hold each key, to a 2 to 3 second count. Sometimes the log-in box does not respond at all. Is her SAM file corrupt? If so, can I remove that thing? I have added users and changed everyone from no password to password in hopes of rewriting a bad file. No go. I did adjust the sensitivity of the Keyboard Control Panel--that's all OK. All out of ideas here a…

Hi I'm trying to clean up our Active Directory Group Policies and we have quite a few that were configured by my predecessor and his predecessor ad infinitum... Some of the stuff I can see straight away why it's configured but other things I've never come across and I'm unsure how to proceed. One of these things is Autoenrollment of Certificates in Group Policy under User Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Public Key Policies/Autoenrollment Settings. This is enabled under my Default Domain GPO and in another GPO for All Staff in the next branch down. Any assistance much appreciated. Sean

I created a fresh install of Win XP for a single user. After a few weeks, her web pages are not displaying properly: MSN has white backgrounds (the colors are all wrong), fonts are large or in the wrong format, pictures are likewise not in the right locations. I installed a second user, and the web pages display properly. I have check these items: display settings, font size in the video properties, visualy impaired accesability options (I think), and font sizes in IE 7. I know that it is definately something that she inadvertantly changed, or installed, on a user basis, but how do I find it? If anyone has seen this before, please let me know. R…
