boot disk (CD)... not pertaining to setup/install
by Guest Jason Sands- 1 reply

Somehow my NTLDR got hosed and I am trying to boot with a CD. I remember getting it to correctly work before but now cannot get it to work. I followed the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305595 on how to make the floppy. I used WinImage to create boot.ima. I fired up Nero and made a CD-ROM boot disk, choosing the above .ima. I used expert settings, the first CD I used no emulation and the second disk I used 1.44 emulation. Neither one will boot. I have the following files on my floppy when I image it: boot.ini ntldr ntdetect.com I have added an additional line in the boot.ini so I will be able to see the menu if and when the CD boots.

IIS crashing when user logs in via RDP?
by Guest Mason G. Zhwiti- 2 replies
- 361 views
Hello everyone, I've been the only one managing our servers via RDP at the office, for the longest time. Recently we added a new guy to help me, and we set him up with an Active Directory domain account, similar to mine. When he logs into the servers, he regularly (but not always) receives a popup error indicating that w3wp.exe has crashed. It has "Send" and "Don't Send" buttons on it to report the error. If he clicks "Don't Send," it will continuously crash and popup a new error. If he clicks "Send," it just crashes that one time and then stops! Has anyone ever seen w3wp.exe crash regularly on RDP login? And why on Earth would "Don't Send" cause it to conti…

screen backgrounds unselectable after virus removal
by Guest abrtlt@yahoo.com- 3 replies
- 332 views
After having removed a virus, I am unable to select the screen background. The background files are present in the Screen Properties list but greyed out. The .bmp files do exist on the disk, but I can only select a background color. This does seem to be linked to the specific user as upon login/logout the custom background I had formerly does appear for a few seconds before the Windows login/logout screen. Is there a way to restore background selection? I presume it is linked in the registry with the specific user profile. Thanks! Andrew

Router - wired Vista 64-bit to wireless Mac?
by Guest TJD- 0 replies
- 275 views
I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my main computer with a high speed cable modem. I want a wireless connection from this to a MacBook Pro which connects by Wi-Fi via their internal Airport system. I have a D-Link router now (108G MIMO) but, although it works fine on the Mac side, it seems to produce problems in the wired Vista 64-bit connection (processes not ending, slowdowns, connection problems). Are there some routers that are completely compatible with my setup (or am I missing something here)?

Can I install Vista along side XP as a dual boot system? I have a dual core 64bit cpu. Will I have to get the vista drivers for all my hardware or will Vista have these already for me? I'm planning on buying a second sata hard disk to install Vista. Just hope this is gonna be not to much trouble. Any advice much appreciated.

Att. ...et al.”- RE: Bothersome popup
by Guest BAP- 5 replies
- 487 views
....et al"., I am not quite sure if this is the best way to update/follow up on the subject or restoring the registry of choice. At any rate, this is the current status. If you recall, I had mentioned that I could not get the system to restore a registry backup that I had saved the day before the pop up problem showed up. Because of the many issues present in my machine and fearful of taking the steps that you well outlined to get the ‘job’ done by a different route, I had more or less decided to let things be and just deal with the pop up nuisance. Later on, the reality that only five of the latest backup files of the Registry would show up on …

by Guest Chopjai- 0 replies

My computer was getting bogged down with misc. files so I decided to do my periodioc respawn of my computer, I have an Alienware ALX system an opted for that option. I first use my windows CD to reformat each of my drives. I have 3 HD's, 2 which are set in RAID striped. I then carry out my respawn. At this point the computer runs fine. I then go to windows update to start the wonderful 80 or so updates that require an install. However, I am unable to install update KB922582, among others, after running a custume install. Automatic updates program will freeze and never complete the install, I am unable to cancel this operation as well. Attempts to access an…

Re installing Windows My documents
by Guest Terry- 0 replies
- 168 views
I have a computer that has 3 users. I saved the documents folders to another drive and reformatted the boot drive. When I installed a fresh copy of Windows I made the 3 users during the initial install. One of the first things I did when I signed on was to copy the backup files to C:\Documents and Settings Something strange happened. The first time I logged on to the other two names the my documents folder was duplicated. It was like Windows ignored the fact that the folder already existed and made another new one. It gave it a .pam extension because that was what I used for the main username. So what I have is one folder called Pamela and one called …

ALL Programs are now **.lnk
by Guest Kevin T. Mahoney- 0 replies

After downloads, and "FREE Scan" Trials of several Anti-Virus/Anti-spy/Anti-Malware vendors, my PC started freezing, and siezing, and locking up badly. I Uninstalled ALL traces(I hope) of the trial-packs' programs. Now, ALL of my programs end in *.lnk [ even on the Start button listings ], everything is sluggish-at-best, and I'm receiving frequent "Runtime Errors", MSIMN.exe errors, and "Unexplained Error" forced program terminations. I've run the MS Full Protection/Clean/Tune-up Scans, and was told that my PC has NO problems, even though the 3rd-party scans say I'm terribly infested and need to purchase their FULL packages. -- KTM, Saco, ME
