Floppy disks which function just fine one day are becoming unreadable the next day (a message appears on the screen indicating that the disk is not formatted). Seeking help on how to get the files from the floppy or what to do to make the floppies readable again.

Hi Team, Please guide me how to read the last result for a particular task from the registry. I have a application which should check the task "Backup_Laptop" is either sucess or failure each time the user plugs himself to the network and if it is failed then my application should start the task "Backup_Laptop" again. Regards, Sakthi

As part of trying to make an image backup of my hard drive using Ghost, it renamed my main hard drive to "D:", and named the small unused partition at the end of the disk to "C:". Now I can't boot up the computer because it's looking for the operating system on the "C:" drive. So I either need to change the name of D back to C, or tell the PC that the operating system is now on D. I don't have access to any windows programs like Disk Management, or even Regedit. I do have access to Dell Recovery Console commands, but they are limited and the only good ones are FixBoot (writes a new bootsector) and FixMBR. But there's nothing wrong with my bootsector…

Hi, Why do some downloads get stuck on 99% downloaded - It stays at one second left to go and just stays there without making anymore progress?

My wife and I each have a user account with each account having owner privileges. Whenever my wife tries to use certain games, the display changes from hi resolution (1024 by 768) to low resolution (800 by 600.) This never happens on my settings, even the same games. How can I prevent this unwanted change? Richard

Hello: May I have idea how Windows work with Multi-Processor. Does the application can use both CPU power or depends on the application? It was because when Citrix application was launched. One of the CPU processor performance is higher then the others. Thanks!

I have an NT domain 'DOMAIN' and one W2K3 R2 Standard file server. The W2K3 server is not joined to the domain, but belongs to a workgroup 'DOMAIN'. I have a few XP workstations which also belong to a workgroup 'DOMAIN'. When attempting to access shares on W2K3 file server shares, they are prompted to enter their credentials. File shares are shared with everyone full control. Is there a prevent users from being prompted for their passwords - without having to join the NT domain?

I just added a much-needed hard drive to my computer. It is seen by the computer, but not on the LAN on any other computer and not when looking on the LAN of the computer it is on!!! In the past, it was a simple thing of removing the Firewall or non-sharing, or something like that. Not this time. I have checked all of those things. It simply isn't there. But one I added before was OK when I installed it. I took it out and put this one in the exact same place as the other, smaller one, and it works fine, but won't show up on the LAN anywhere, which is the main thing I got it for: to be used as storage on our server. I couldn't find any help when Googling it. A c…

Hi all Given that this version of the 2003 server is getting reasonably visible on the Microsoft site, I was disappointed to read that it was seen purely as a server. I hoped it would run Windows Media Center, I would really like a one machine solution to deal with all my business whilst away. It would be nice to ask this program to do all my TV recording without leaving a Desktop running. Also it seems a server rather than client role to service XBOX machines. .. I would be grateful to hear if it would run XP Media Server, or perhaps as a compromise,, would run side by side under Virtual Machine with a Vista Home Premium system that could do this work…

Hello: I am receiving this event error when attempting to print to a an HP ColorLaserJet 2650. Nothing prints--no error on the client. I am viewing the error from the event viewer on the file and print cluster. I can ping the ip for the printer...I can also go into the devices configuration and print from there but no jobs are going to the printer.
