This particular PC XP SP2 has been giving me all kinds of issues. I can not even get into Windows Explorer. I get a Data Execution Prevention message. This also means Control Panel and quite a few other things don't work. Windows Explorer does however work in Safe Mode. Any ideas on how to correct the problem?

I have uninstalled a software on my office computer last week and since then it is impossible to install any MSI package. As soon as I click the icon I get the message: “This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package …”. Uninstalling software does the same thing. I searched on internet. In 99% of the cases, this message appeared at the installation of specific packages and there was a workaround to solve the problem or the package had been corrupted during download or something like that. But cases like mine were rare and the few forums where the subject was discussed ended with no conclusion. As suggested I reinstalled Windows Inst…

I have checked the event logs of the domain controller server and since I have started to get this issue I have started to get the following warnings in the system log: Event ID: 40960 Source: LSASRV The Security settings detected an anuthentication erro for the server LDAP\<Domain Controller Server Name>. The failure code from Authentication protocol kerberos was 'There are currently no logon servers available to service logon requests' Since we have got this message the DC cannot ping other servers, but the other servers can ping the DC. Any ideas why this is happenning.

My DVD RW drive loads by default as E:, the lowest available letter. I want to use E: for something else, so I assigned it the letter Z: using Administrative Tools. But on reboot it reverts to E:. A virtual drive created by the InstantWrite software has the same problem, i.e. I cannot permanently reassign the drive letter, but another DVD drive which was earlier assigned to Y: is still Y:. I can successfully reassign the drive letters of the various hard disk partitions. They do not revert on reboot. I have just reinstalled my whole system. I had the problem before reinstallation, but as far as I can recall it was not there at first in the new installati…

Today when turning on my PC - I was greeted with a "Disk Read Error - press ctrl - alt - del to restart." message. My PC has been running great - up to today. I'm thankful I thought to make a NT Boot floppy a while back just for stupid things like this happening. Anyway, I typed in the error and found a KB article relating to using older versions of Windows (multi boot) with Windows Vista. They recommend correctly re-installing the older OS. My problem however, is I'm running Windows XP SP2. Theres no Vista installed on my System, and I've had no problems starting up until today.

Hi, I am currently running Windows 2003 in a single domain with two DC's at one location with another location authenicating over the WAN to the two DC's. I am planning on setting up another DC at the offsite location for authentication. I just want to make sure I am not missing anything when setting this up so here are my plans: Setting up two sites -Building A with a special subnet -Building B with a special subnet - Connecting these through a site link and setting the servers in each. I will have two DC's so I will put a GC at each location. Also installing DNS on all the DC's. The part where I am confused is the DNS is it smart to put DNS on all …

Every time Windows (XP Pro) tries to start up, ChkDisk cuts in with a suspect disk problem. It never finds a problem but, if I don't stop it, it will loop all day without ever starting Windows but perpetually running ChkDisk. How can I stop this startup problem occurring, starting with the premise that I do not have a faulty disk. Thanks, Mike.

I have 3 computers, all of them with the same problem. I've made a startup ms-dos disk, I inserted the disk and restarted my computer. Whenever I type format c: and press enter I get the following error: bad command or file name Whenever I type cd c: end press enter I get the following error: invalid driver specification Anybody know what could be the problem? I used partition magic to format my hard because i did not have any other options. But the formating takes less then 1 minute. My hard drive has 50GB and I really doubt that it only takes 1 minute to format it. Thanks -- nizan
