Hello all, I am not sure if I am posting in the correct forum, but we are experiencing an issue that just started yesterday. We have a windows 2003 server that is our print server and up until yesterday afternoon, clients that were running Vista were able to select a printer from the server and print to it - even though the Vista driver was not installed on it. Right now, when trying to print to the same print device on the print server, clients are getting an error that is telling them that they need to download the driver in order to connect. I know that this is a very basic question, but has anyone experinced this issue and if so, how was it resolved…

About a year ago I made a SP2 installation disk from my original XP disk. I must have thrown the original XP disk away so I would not get confused and try to use it, but I had written the installation key on it and no longer can find the key. Will the SP2 disk recognize the key from the current installation when I try to refresh the installation by doing what I call install-over? jim

I can not figure this out and can not fond anyone who can answer so here I am asking for some help. I have a folder on my server that will contain information scanned and saved - the original documents will then be shredded. I have a security group that will have access to this folder. I want them to be able to save the documents to the folder but not to move or delete them. I set up the folder permissions for everyone to have full control under sharing and security, under security I have added my group and set them as follows: everything except full control, under the advanced I edited this group to not allow delete, move or take owenership etc. By …

We have multiple staff machines some in an NT Network and moving towards a 2003 Server network. We know how to use log on scripts to map drives. We could use them to do a back up of their My Docs but are concerned about the time it would take. We would like to script the back up to take place during the Shut down process. Much the same way the MS installs Windows updates. The user shuts down, the back up begins and the user walks away with the PC shutting down on completion. I cannot find where to do this. I suspect there is a shut down script somewhere. Thanks Kevin Wods Granite State College, New Hampshire

Has anyone had any experience with the backup utility that comes with Nero 7? Good, bad, indifferent?

I accidently dragged a folder into one of those Microsoft updater folders where the contents can't be accessed. The message is Access is denied. I used a restore point to get the folder back to the correct location, but I can't access anything in either folder. I tried booting into safe mode and changing user access to the files to "full" for all users, and now I can delete files, but still can't open any of them. The message is Access is denied. No file attributes are set. The folder isn't shared. I can rename the folders, but not copy the files or folders. I'm running XP (stupid) Home sp2 with Norton Protection. Help?

I have been receiving a fatal error message when I try to send email (Outlook in Office Pro 2003). The message reads “DCOM server process launcher terminated unexpectedly". I then receive a box to send the notification to MS and then two more boxes with something about NT Authority/System. I researched the issue and thought/think it is a variant of the Win32.Poza worm but mine only happens when sending email. I ran the cleaning program provided by me virus scan vendor but that didn't find anything. Has anyone heard of this? If so, what is it and how do I fix it?

I was trying to post a question and nothig was happening until I noticed a line on the bottom of the screen saying I should hold down "Ctrl" if I wanted to let a popup occur.
