I'm new to this company and have only a decent IT skill set, so I'll explain this the best as I can. I've configured three new laptops, one for myself and two for other users in the company. I have administrator privileges. I installed two network printers on their computer and test printed successfully. Once the laptops were passed to the users, they could also print successfully, that day. When they log off then back on (presumably at day's end then the next morning) they cannot print. I can log on/off from my new laptop and never have printing issues. Seems very likely to be a permission issue somewhere. They *can* access the printers propertie…

Re: XCOPY Insufficient system resources problem. I also am having this problem when trying to copy files using the Windows Explorer. Both systems (target and source) are Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. If I try and "push" files at the target, I get this error message: "Cannot copy <filename>: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." If I try and "pull" the files from the source, I get this error message: "Cannot copy <filename>: Not enough server storage space is available to process this command." I've searched the knowledgebase for both error messages and found solutions to either ancient NT products, some 20…

Hey gang, I used to run, Cccleaner, in XP, and kind of liked how it cleaned out temp files, etc. I notice the latest release, states that Vista 64 bit is supported, but does mention there are some " non critical" issues remaining. I run Vista Ultimate 64 bit, just curious if anyone is running the program in Vista 64, and how you like it? Thanks for any feedback here, -- Don

User is getting error message when logon to server " Terminal Server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connection" but there are only two users logon to the server. How can I fix this error. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

This has only started in the past few days and I can't find out why. Every time I open a document in Microsoft Word or Excel I get an error box headed 'Microsoft Visual Basic' The message reads 'Compile error in hidden module: uifunctions'. Anyone know what it is please and more importantly how I stop it. I should add that it doesn't prevent the document from opening ultimately.

I had a non-validated copy of Windows XP on my computer, came with the computer, so I bought an XP upgrade. I installed it by booting through the CD drive and installed it into a different file. When I went to install all the udates, it said that the site was not available. I tried a couple of different ways, and still could not get it to work. Another thing I would like to do is transfer all the documents and settings to the newly installed XP. Any suggestions?? thanks

Windows XP lets me back up my entire system on any drive I want - but insists I install a floppy disk in my A drive - with no option to use a CD or DVD or PMD to create a system disk. How do I get around this archaic means of storage. I haven't had a floppy drive since before my kids were born. My boot sequence doesn't include a floppy drive either. Very strange software.

We have all XP pc connect to a windows 2003 domain I was wondering if there a way for me as a administrator to remoev software from a desktop on the network remotely without the user be aware of it (ie I on computer A and I want remove computer b xyz software) If this is possblie please tell me the step or link Thanks in advance Frank

After installing SP2 on Windows 2003 Terminal Server I came in the next morning and saw on the server "Windows - Low on Registry Space - The system has reached the maximum size allowed for the system part of the registry. Additional storage requests will be ignored." Users logging onto TS get "Windows was unable to load the profile but has logged on with the default profile system. Default - Insufficiant system resources exist to complete the requested service." It appears that up to six-eight users are able to log on before a user gets the Unable to load profile. Log a couple users off and another is able to log on. If reboot the server and it i…

I've extended my desktop to a second monitor. I prefer the monitor to be positioned left of my laptop. To access the second monitor I move my mouse to the right until it shows up on the second monitor. Is there a way to configure things such that I can move my mouse to the left to access the monitor? Thanks, AJ

I am not sure what to do. I am having problems logging into websites on my computer. I will type in my username and password, hit enter and the page will basically come back with the username and password spaces blank and it doesn't log me in. I have reset all the settings back to default and still nothing. Do you have any suggestions? I can't call Dell as my service agreement has expired and I can't afford to contact a professional at Microsoft even though the rates are reasonable. So any advice you can give as to how to fix this problem would be appreciated. I had to use my friends computer just to sign on to ask this question. The only thing is I …

I made a bat file and put in it "shutdown -s -t 00" on most of my Windows XP Pro clients it runs fine as a scheduled task. Three of my clients put up the error "Required priviledge is not held by the client." and the PC does not shutdown. What priviledge do I have to set to get shutdown.exe to run on these clients?
