Hi, I am currently running IE7 on a Windows 2003 terminal server environment. Previous to upgrading to IE7, if I clicked a link in a Outlook 2003 email, I would be taken to the webpage. Now, I receive an error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer". We have a Group Policy which restricts anything from running unless it is listed under "Run only allowed Windows applications" - iexplore.exe is in this list. I can confirm that I don't receive the error when I remove GPO restrictions from the user account. Does IE7 run different dll files to IE6 that I would need to register with the GPO? Thanks for…

I have some software that is only installed on one computer then for it to run on the other work stations a shortcut to the executable is placed on the desktop. My issue is that when i click on the shortcut it gives me the run security prompt. It does not give me the option to trust the program so that i do not have to click on run each time to launch the application. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After setting up my sisters computer with DSL, and all the antivirus programs etc. It occurred to me that perhaps she wasn't current with Microsoft updates. So I went to the site but each time it came back with the following message: The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. At first I thought it was because she didn't have Active-X but she has it. I then found that she had Internet Explorer 6 and not 7 so I upgraded to that. Would that make a difference? Or is there something else I should look at next time I go over? Thank you, …

I am trying to download the file Windows XP setup boot disks and the instructions say there will be a prompt to insert a floppy and there isn't one. So, I went ahead and downloaded the file thinking that when it completed downloading, it would ask for it then. It still did not ask where I wanted it to go. I ended up going into A: drive and saving the file, in hopees that it would go ahead and download from there. But...it tells me the 1.4MB floppy isn't large enough. That I need to delete some files. I have no idea where the file ended up when it downloaded, does anyone have any idea where I can begin to look? Please help me with this issue as I ha…

I have a Windows 2003 Server R2 running and I have a client who uses Remote Desktop to login. The client can't print to their local printer. I am using Terminal Services. The just purchases a new printer which is an HP Laserjet 3055 All in One. I read a knowledgebase article on Microsoft's web site (Article ID 302361) that says Printers that use ports that do not begin with Com, Lpt, or USB are not redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services Session.
