For a dual boot Windows system, for Win2k and WinXP, is there any way to avoid dual installations of apps? E.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader, is there a way of avoiding having to install the reader for both systems so as to avoid doubling the apps space on HD? Thanks, r.a.

If I run the following script in a directory with two files named test1.txt & test2.txt, FILELIST should have the value of "Test2.txt;Test1.txt;NOFILES". Instead it has the value of "Test2.Txt;NOFILES". Can any one tell me why? Or how to get it to work correctly? @SET FILELIST=NOFILES @for %%f in (*.txt) do @( @echo %%f @set FILELIST= %%f;%FILELIST% @echo %FILELIST% ) Thanks,

I bought a laptop with Vista Ultimate 64-bit. How do I verify that it is the 64-bit o/s? It doesn't indiacte that when booting. Thanks.

I installed Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS) many times, and most of them I got this "Rename temp file failed" error during the setup (even though it happened to work a few times). Do you know how to solve this problem? I remember that once I uninstalled it after getting that error, and reinstalled it in D:\ instead of C:, and that time it worked. The only difference between C and D is that my C drive is FAT32 whereas D is in NTFS. Do you think this could be a problem? Please let me know, since I really need this to work these days...

Hi newsgroup. There is an annoyance with XP, that I noticed already years ago.. but I never decided to to something about it. Until now. OK: when you change the volume level (with sndvol32.exe) of the general channel (not wave, sw-synthesizer etc. but the one the far left), it will cause a "beep" of the system speaker. Of course, everything works ok, and I noticed that not only on this PC, it seems to be by design. That behavior never occured with earlier windows versions. So, how to turn that beep off? It's very distracting.

Hi Kerberos is failing once a week plus 10 minutes on a middle tier web server (2003) with the following: lsasrv "The time at the Primary Domain Controller is different than the time at the Backup Domain Controller or member server by too large an amount" Infrastructure swear there is no time difference. Does anyone have any suggestions? We're lost... cheers james

I am having a problem setting up printers on my future print server. I have tried to use DLC, but it never installed as expected (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f5a88f75-4e05-4fba-bf13-2cd53d023786&displaylang=en), and never gave me DLC as a port type when configuring the printers. When I go into the properties of the LAN connection under Network Connections, it lists DLC Protocol as an installed item, but that is about the extent of it. Any ideas what I should do or try? Mark

Can I do a system restore on a Win 2003 R2 server? I'm guessing the answer is no... and... If not, is there a way to a Windows "fix" like you can with XP? I'm getting some ethernet controller errors, that I'm hoping to able to fix quickly and easily. If both the above answers are no - I'll do some more research... -- Cindy

Is there a way to make Windows Explorer open in "file manager" view by default? i.e Folders on the left hand side, rather than File and Folder Tasks etc Jeff

Hello, We are not using usrlogon.cmd on our Windows 2000 Terminal Servers. It seems to interfere we our regular logon scripts. Can we safely disable it? Any help is welcome. Regards, -- Vincenzo

We purchased 10 Open License TSE Cals and installed and activated the license server and all is well with that. However the new clients are still grabbing the temporary licenses. I have gone to HKEY Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing and deleted that whole key. However when device connects to the Terminal Server again it grabs another Temp License. How do we stop this? We purchased Device CALs. Thanks Shaun

Hi People, I have 3 server, 1 SBS 2000, 1 TS Server (W2K) and 1 APP Server (W2K). After playing with the TS Server for over 90 days.....its now locked. Now when I go to install the TS Licensing Server on the SBS 2000 Server I get the screen with 'Terminal Server is currently configured to use - Remote Administration'. Now do I leave this as it is or choose Applications Server Mode?. The main reason I ask is that I use the remote TS admin a lot and dont want to lose it. Many thanks for your help.
