Recently my Trend Microsystems Antivirus detected several viruses and adware on my machine. I managed to clean them all up, but now I cannot change the background of my desktop. It won't even let me select a picture or browse to another file. I am using a Dell Dimension 8400, 3.19 GHz processor. 1 GB Ram. Windows XP, SP2 with all the latest security updates. The latest viruses that were detected had to do with Java applets. Unfortuanately I have already deleted them so I can't say exactly what they were. But the description on the Trend website said that they were not malicious. In the fix from Trend, I had to Disable System Restore and scan aga…

I have a 2 node Active/Passive Exchange 2003/SP2 cluster running on Windows 2003 Enterprise/SP2. I try to use the built in Windows Backup Utility to back it up and it fails on both servers. I get the following error message: Backup Status Operation: Backup Active backup destination: File Media name: "Sys_State.bkf created 7/24/2007 at 7:48 AM" Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.

A friend of mine had his hard drive go bad. He purchased a new 300G drive, installed it, used his "restore" disk (Ghost)from the manufacturer to rebuild his system. So far so good. But, he can't anything on the hard drive beyond the basic partition that the restore (Ghost) process created. He has one 32G partition, and that's it. Is there any way to get an extended partition now so that he can use the extra space? Disk Administrator shows no free space, Diskpart does not see anything either. Yet he's got 270G open space on the drive. Thanks,

Using Windows XP o/s Could anyone tell me how I can get my windows to open in full when I select a program? Even when I go on the internet I would like the window to open in full -- Thank you in advance for your assistance HankL

I have a workgroup with several XP Pro machines and two 2003 Server member servers. I want to set permissions on the root of the d: drive of each machine bit I am unable to do this on the XP boxes. When I right-click on a drive and select Properties or Sharing & Security the only tabs available are General, Tools and Hardware. The Sharing and Security tabs are available on folders however. On the server machines the Sharing and Security tabs are available on the drives. I have Simple File Sharing turned off on the XP boxes and I'm logged on as Administrator. Is this one of those features that only works on a domain but not a workgroup? -- Ray Greene

I can't boot my Windows XP Pro workstation. Ctrl-alt-del doesn't work, start=>shutdown=>restart doesn't work, nor does log off. The last time I saw this, I did a cold boot, the OS got corrupt and a reimage was required. I'm reluctant to cold boot again. Is there any hidden command (eg dos based perhaps ) to reboot this that I'm not aware of? Thank you

I've read a few threads on here where the common task pane went mysteriously missing. I've tried going through the folder options and selecting "Show common tasks in folders". This option is already selected and still does not bring up the common tasks pane. Can anyone help me figure out how to bring the tasks pane back? Thank you!

How do I do that? Thanks ===================================================== Hi Roberto: This is very complex: you need to ask the question again in the Windows Server 2003 newsgroup. Or rather: the explanation is very complex, the "principle" is quite simple... :-) You need to install the Verisign certificate as your Master Certificate. You then get each client to delete their existing certificate and go through the process of requesting a new certificate. This time, they will get a "Child" certificate of the Verisign certificate. Any outside authentication can then follow the chain of trust all the way back to Verisign, and will thus accept…

I have an Intel dual core 2.4 ghz running XP Pro SP2. After a couple of reboots to install some USB devices including a USB to Parallel cable for a printer, I wasn't able to reboot the machine. All I get is the very first DOS type screen where the Function keys are listed at the bottom of the page. I've tried F8, F12, etc. to try to get to the boot screen with no luck. The first screen just sits there (for as long as 30 minutes) and I have to power down via the power button. The machine had been working just fine for weeks before this problem. Any ideas on what might be wrong and any possible solutions to get it running again?

If you boot partition D then discover that partition D is the boot partition and partition C is the system partition then are you using the OS on C and the apps, etc. on D?

I recently had to re-install Windows XP and since then I'm having trouble installing updates. I have automatic updates turned on but when I get the icon shield noting I have updates ready to install when I select to install, it appears they are installing but after I get a window saying saing "Some updates could not be installed" the number that could not be installed is the number of updates it found. I also have other programs that can't tell I'm connected to the Internet (ie; virus updates, network magic, etc.) I'm using wireless broadband (Linksys) and can navigate the Internet fine but, like I said, programs that need to update cannot tell I'm connec…

I'm running low on disk space on my C: drive which I typically reserve for the OS only. This server is our terminal server, and twice we've been below 200MB available. Do you know what the directory 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3' is and why it's so big? My other servers have the same directory, but it's less than 300MB. Thanks!
