Hello I have a problem that I cannot figure out. The problem comes up when I try to load a game that has multiple CDs. I am fine when there is only one CD or one DVD. I am using XP and normal DVD/CD roms. I have two and the probem happens when I use either. Please E-mail me at Shaneoef@yahoo.com if you have a solution. Thanks for any help.

We have 3 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 Terminal Servers. We are having a problem with when a user is working remotely and the internet drops. When the users line drops the session should go to disconnected right. Instead the session is completely logged off the server. I have a policy set for our terminal servers in AD to set keep alives and auto reconnection and we have idle and disconnected session limits of 3 hours but it logs the session off within 2 minutes after the users loses a network connection. 2 of these servers are in a load balancing config with session directory and are experiencing the same issue. It works fine if the user discon…

Even if the file-type setup is set right (as always) XP is asking what program I like to open the files in (on WAV, MP3, WMV etc). Some other types always open in "sound recorder" (the old one) even when the file-type is set to Media Player. Why is XP not using my settings? -- Lars-Erik - http://www.osterud.name - ICQ 7297605

Hello, I have performed an audit for a potential customer. This is a small shop with 6 people and for some (unknown) reason, their current IT firm installed a Windows 2003 Server (SP2) as TS. This server is the only server in the house and acts as DC, file & print, etc... The company uses 2 laptops and 4 Wyse Winterminals. I checked the TS licencing configuration and here is what I found: 1. TS Lincencing service is installed on the server 2. TS Licence server is unactivated 3. TS is in user mode The current IT company that advised the customer might have wanted to save some TS licencing dollars. I have no idea when the server was installed and…

Hello, I have a strange situation for which I don't have all the information I would like, but I am posting here anyway in the hopes that the symptoms ring a bell in somebody's mind. I have a Windows 2003 server running Terminal Services. The users connect to it and run a home-made application (written in Visual FoxPro). The server also has Microsoft Office installed. The home-made application can generate a bunch of data that is passed onto Excel, where an add-in (written by an external developer) will massage the data with several pivots and generate a report (all done in Excel within the TS session). The user ends up with two windows open: the FoxPro app…

I know this is a topic that has had a lot of discussion, but I am really just trying to get a couple of answers here. I've read through and done the things in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2007/01/22/vista-remote-desktop-connection-authentication-faq.aspx I still have the following problems: Windows XP user trying to connect to a Windows Terminal Server 2000 using RDC6. Saved shortcut for RDC had a stored username, domain, and password which worked perfectly up until we upgraded to RDC6 through Windows Update. I was told we can click on the "Add Credentials" button to save users' credentials to the machine so they don't have to login, but this…

I have two servers that just began rebooting on a seemingly random basis (for about 2 days now). Sometimes it will happen within 15 mins of being booted up, other times it might be 6 hours between reboots. It does so without any warning, and no error messages. The only thing remaining afterwards that indicates the event is the presence of the standard event in the event log indicating an unscheduled shutdown. For example: (Source: EventLog, ID: 6008) "The previous system shutdown at 4:11:43 PM on 7/10/2007 was unexpected." I looked around in event viewer for different errors happening just before that time that might be related, but there are none...…

I am attempting to perform a migration from a Novell Netware 6 environment to Windows Server 2003 R2 using Microsoft Services For Netware(SFN) 5.03 SP2. The Windows servers have the latest patches and SFN is running on a domain controller with Novell Client for Windows 4.91 SP3. The Microsoft Directory Synchronization Service(MSDSS) installed properly, migrated Netware accounts to Active Directory(AD) OUs and continues one-way synchronization without issue. When attempting to use the File Migration Utility(FMU) to transfer files and permissions from Netware to a Windows 2003 server, the FMU indicates that the forest is "unavailable" in the Active Directory t…

I am setting up our PC in my small business. One Administrator account and several Limited User accounts planned. I do not want Limited User accounts to access the any hard drive files accept programs and their own data. Currently, any Limited User can just go to the C: drive (hard drive) and open and access any folder and file, even windows directory, et cetera. Not good. Please help. Jim

I can not open Internet Options tab under the Tools menu when Internet Explorer 7 is open. I have retored and restarted several times with no luck.

I normally lock my PC when I will be away for a while by control-alt-delete and "lock computer", which has worked well until recently. Now, there is exactly a 60 second delay after I type my password to unlock the PC. It is exactly 60 sec every time, and I have tried it with antivirus, firewalls, etc shut off - always the same 60 sec delay. This leads me to believe there is a 60 second delay setting somewhere that is causing it, but I can not find it. BTW, the PC boots up at normal speed when first started. This delay only occurs when using the lock computer function. Please help. Thanks.
