Hi - If a differnt forum is better suited for this question, please let me know. i have a Netgear wireless adaptor connected to my PC via USB and it is functioning properly. I have Windows XP and problem that I'm faced with is that I have two MAC addresses being picked up by my wireless adaptor. One signal is stronger than the other and it always defaults to the stronger signal for obvious reasons. How can I force Windows or configure it to "lock in" to the weaker incoming MAC address. The driver for the wireless adaptor does show both and even if i select the weaker signal MAC address, it ill select the stronger one. So forcing Windows to select the…

I have three files showing in my TEMP file that I cannot remove. They are: dfbeba.tmp 134KB df6346.tmp 134KB dff19a.tmp 394KB I believe that the three files are possibly hi-jack files. I was able to locate these files when I ran Easy Cleaner, but was unsuccessful in removing them from my system. Any instructions on how to rid my system of this what ever it is would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Frog

I have a 40G HD with 8G remaining diskspace. I am trying to free up some additional space and noticed several .log and .tmp files in the C:\Windows folder. Are these files safe to delete? or should they remain?

I am running Windows XP Home SP2. When I try to access the Control Panel I get the error message "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close". The error report window that comes up refers to shell32.dll. I tried a system restore to several days ago with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Okay, I don't like saying 'I was right' - after all it usually means something negative. But I was - Lavasoft have gone back on the promise of lifelong updates to those who bought Ad-aware Plus back in, in my case, late-2000. They call it a different product - as I predicted they would - which those like myself may - whoopee do! - upgrade to at a 40% discount! Funny, because it's going to cost them more than they save with this cheap attempt to renege on the original deal they made with, among doubtless many others, me. It really is time everybody realized businesses in the security field that renege on their deals are as bad as the people they supposedly p…

Whenever I try to access a page for a download, i.e. an update, Norton 360, Webroot Spy sweeper, Zone Alarm etc. I get a white screen with the above message. I've run Norton, Zone Alarm, XoftSpySE, Reg Cure, Spy sweeper and none of them indicate I'm infected with anything, yet I can't download anything that can help me. Any clues? Thank you for your help

Hello, One of our additional DC has been crashed. So, we changed disks and formatted. But, computer name still exists in Domain and we always receive replication errors etc. So, is there any procedure to delete record of this DC from domain . Or, if I delete its name from domain, other records will be deleted automatically about it ? (like DNS, Sites and services, LDAP...) Note : This DC was an additional DC and there was no DC role on it (no global catalog, no PDC emulator...) Best Regards.

Not exactly sure which group to post this in...: I have an XP SP2 PC that I use exclusively for backups. It resides in another part of the building. We don't want to leave it on all the time, but it's an annoyance to have to physically turn it on (moving to my office it is not practical). Is there a way I can remotely kick it on and off? I thought about allowing it to sleep or hibernate and configuiring the NIC to wake up for activity, but the security of leaving it offline is the reason we turn it off. I know I've just kicked the legs out from under some probable suggestions. Any ideas? Thanks, Ayere

Hello, We have a lot of macs attaching to the server - they can create or copy files with periods or spaces at the end. Once they are on the server, you can't remove them from the server via PC, Mac or the server itself - even after a reboot. I'd like to make sure this never ever happens again. How do I prevent it?

This problem is happening on only one of the XP computers on my peer-to-peer network. When I "View workgroup computers", all of my networked computers appear. However, if I double click on most of them, I get an error: '\\Server is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found." The problem is not on \\server as it is accessible from any other computer on the network (so it is not a Server permissions issue, as the error suggests.) If I Start | Run \\Server, I get the same error. If I Start | Run \\192.168.1…

Hallo NG, ich möchte unserer Entwicklungsabteilung den größtmöglichen Speicherplatz zur Verfügung stellen (insgesamt ca. 2,8 TB). Ich lese nun immer wieder, dass Windows Partitionen mit einer Maximalgröße von 2 TB unterstützt. Also plane ich, den Speicherplatz in mehrere Partitionen (mit bspw. je 1 TB) aufzuteilen und über DFS in einem Laufwerk zusammen zu fassen. Ist das machbar und praktikabel? Danke für eure Unterstützung und Hinweise, Grüße, Uwe K.

Is there a tool that can search and replace multiple files under all subdirectories recursively? Is there a tool that can search and replace multiple files under all subdirectories recursively? Hi all, In my project, I often need to change the variable names in my programs, and then remember to undo the changes. Let's say, in a forward direction, I need to: change "aaa" to "bbb", change "ccc" to "ddd", change "eee" to "fff", .... in all files under specified directory and its sub-directories, recursively. And in another day, I will have to undo the above changes, i.e. change "bbb" to "aaa", change "ddd" to "ccc", change "fff" to "eee", …
