Hi. My Windows XP Professional SP2 has been removed from a domain. I have set it to be a member of a Workgroup called just that. The other systems in this Workgroup are Windows 2000 Professional SP4. On the Windows XP machine I can easily make a Network drive to a drive on the W2K maching through the Add a Network Drive Wizard say for the root //MYMACHINE/c$. But on the Windows 2000 machine I get a prompt for a Network Password when I use the Add Network Drive Wizard on it which I do not know. If I set sharing on the Windows XP machine to share a drive then in Computers Near Me on the W2K machine I see the drive I shared. But I would prefer to use the A…

Is there any way to turn off the status messages that flash in the lower right corner of the screen? (e.g., network cable unplugged, unused desktop icons, new hardware installed, etc.?) Thanks, s.

Hi folks, Each week I empty the list of My Recent Documents (just to keep things clear and organised) but then I find that thereafter whenever I open a document (such as a Word document, image file etc.) it doesn't appear on the My Recent Documents list - as if I didn't even open it - it just says it's empty. I've found a workaround, and that is to go to C:\Documents and Settings\JohnDoe\Recent, go to Properties, Security tab, and manually add my username to the permissions with Full Control, but the next week when I empty the list I have to do it again. Does anyone know of any way to 'fix it' so that I don't have to keep following that process every…

I too am getting the error message "The backup file name could not be used. Please insure it is a valid path and that you have permission to access" when I try to use the Windows XP backup utility. I have a partitioned hard drive; my programs are on the C drive, and data is on the D drive. I'm trying to back up data from the D drive. I've read the discussions on this forum and understand that Windows XP cannot backup directly to a CD. I want to back my data up to a removable hard drive, but I'm getting the error message no matter what destination I try to use (C drive, D drive or the removable drive). I am not the administrator on this machine, …

I have recently installed XP on a new PC. I've installed my Canon Powershot G3 from the install disk. When I plug the camera in nothing happens. If I go to control panel->Scanners and Cameras, it is there, but in the "Events" dialog it only lists "Camera is Detected". I can't find the Digital Camera wizard anywhere on the Start->Accessories menu. If I test the camera in the Control Panel, it says "Your imaging device successfully completed the diagnostic test". My camera is not listed in "My Computer" either. Can anybody help?

I have Wimdows XP, today I tried to download some pictures from my camera and initially came up with this RunDLL error (there was more of a messge but this is all I remember)and said to report to Microsoft the problem, so I sent thinking I would get the box you could click on to find out what possible problems were causing this and never got it. After that I get this menu camera box up that you pick the program you want to open with and its blank. My camera says there is a connection problem, I then went to pictuers menu--get pictures from camera-- and a message comes up saying computer cannot detect camera. ??? Two weeks ago I took my computer in to get r…

Hi I have IIS setup on my Windows XP (SP2) machine. I am running SQL Server 2000 MSDE. I have, as far as i am aware, my computer setup with the date system for the UK. If i browse the data in the SQL database then it appears in the correct UK format, but as soon as this is displayed in a web browser it turns into american format, which is undesirable. I am at a loss as to how to fix this! I have had this problem before but cant remember how i remedied it! Any help will be extremely grateful!! Thanks Darren

We have a domain using 2003 R2 servers (2) for DC's with other file servers and app servers for our faculty. These run on our intranet inside a firewall. We have two web servers running 2003 standard edition on our DMZ. Can we switch from having local accounts on each web server to using domain accounts? Both web servers have two ethernet ports. The web pages are written with asp and php. We want to give faculty the ability to edit their web pages from off campus. Thanks.

I have 2 hard drives: my boot drive [80 GB] has 2 partitions labeled "C" and "G"; my back up drive [120 GB] has 4 partitions labeled "D", "I" , "H" and "W" WinXP Event Viewer shows a bad block on "Device\Hardisk0\D" But WinXP Disk Management shows "Disk 0" as the HD with partitions labled "C" and "G" I've run VCOM's Disk Fixer ultility and show no errors on either. But I have no problem replacing a failing HD. My confusion is: which HD is Event Viewer reporting as having a bad block - the 80 GB or the 120 GB? Thank you for any advice. -- Remove -NOSPAM- to contact me.

I noticed that if I export a registry key to a .REG file, it is in Unicode format. If I create a .REG file by hand, does it have to be in Unicode format to be imported correctly?
