I upgraded to Windows XP Home from Windows 98 SE. i backed up Mydocument files to a CD. When I try to open wordpad, I get the message, "cannot load Windows for word 6. Does anyone know a registry key solution for that problem or any fix for that problem? A tech representative from Microsoft gave me a registry command to correct the problem. I have spent my two free questions with them. I had to reinstall XP Home, That is the reason for the problem. Uglytrick

Has anyone ever has this problem......... I'm using the same Windows XP CD that I used to reformat my HDD's. But today while the CD was copying the files into the HDD there were many files that could not be copied into my HDD. Could the CD be going bad??? Or could it be something else? Thank you

Husband has a lemon of a motherboard on a machine we built less than 6 months ago. I've found a couple new motherboards that will work with all the existing hardware. Will we be able to re activate Windows if we replace the motherboard?

Sorry for the dup post between groups, but thought I might try this one as well. Wondering if anyone has a suggestion for how to perform selective deletion of data from multiple servers and volumes, that will meet DOD erasure standards when completed? One of our clients is not using our services any longer and has requested all data pertaining to their business, be deleted from any and all servers. Obviously backups will need to be addressed, but there are over 40 servers with multiple volumes and MS SQL Server. I have found a few utilities that appear to do this (like DODlete and Eraser) but time and efficiency are a key component and I would like to aut…

Hi, I am currently running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP2. I have a shared folder called FTP Files which is on the root of the C: drive. I have set the folder to be shared, and have added users and guests full control of the folder. I have also checked allow inheritable permissions on that folder. Therefore any newly created files or folders will get the permissions from FTP Files folder. This configuration works perfectly when I am locally on the server and create a folder or file. The permissions are set correctly. However, when I access the folder via another computer on my LAN (set as a mapped network drive) the permissions are not set whe…

I just got a a linksys wireless router and got it all setup first my xp notebook, then a vista notebook, then a xp desktop all with no problem. I next tried to connect another xp notebook and it gave some strange error (about the IP address) and then i went back to my notebook and started getting the same error and then with another xp notebook . Now all the xp notebooks tell me "limited or no connectivity" when i click on "details" it gives me a funky ip address (like 254.105.109 instead of a normal 192.168.1.x like the router is giving to the xp desktops and the vista notebook. The subnet mask is also different than what i put into the router. I can't figure…

Hi, What does everyone recommend for perfmon, benchmarks, db monitoring, and server alerting for down issues? I like sitescope but it isn't in the budget. I heard what's up gold is decent, but sitescope is much better. We have MOM now but it isn't giving us what we need/want and we want a product that will hit unix/linux as well. How about getting stats on servers that seem to start crawling a specific time of day? I can't tell if it is the server memory or the application? Some apps are oracle db's, some are sql db's? What is the best approach? Would a product like Sandra Software http://www.sisoftware.net/ help out?
