Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

I am trying to use the files and settings transfer wizard, and on the new computer I get the following message: "The location that you specified does not contain stored information. Please type a valid folder path into the edit box. If you entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive." I can see the collected data with my eyes, so why does not the new pc? I followed the steps as instructed, so what am I doing wrong? Any help would be great. Thank you.

Greetings, Just want to get a good recommendation on third party software (pref free) to parse and darse Windows 2003 event logs. We have more than 500 users on our network and viewing logins logs through the built in viewer is very discouraging. Thanks,

Here's a poser. When I activate the HT in BIOS on my 3.06 P4 northridge (recently upgraded from a non HT CPU) it causes the keyboard to effect other programs, specifically the music from any media based application. The symptoms are like one key is overloading whatever cache and causes the music to stutter. When HT is off, things are back to normal. I have the most recent BIOS, XP updates, keyboard drivers, etc. Any ideas? -- Mattu

Hi all, Today I've noticed some strange problem, and the more I look at it the more I'm getting convinced that something is *very* wrong with my system. It started when I ran ipconfig from a command prompt: "'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." In other word, it couldn't find the ipconfig.exe. Sure enough, it was in the system32 folder. I managed to run it from there without any problem. I switched back to some other random folder, tried to run it again, and sure enough, it failed with the same message. 'set path' showed that %SystemRoot%\system32 is part of the search path. %System…

I'm using standard POP3 service to receive emails and having a weird problem. The service ignores (does not receive) any messages with binary attachments even though the sender receives confirmation receipt which states that massage was relayed successfully and I have no problem to receive emails with text attachments. I spend a whole day googling the subject and still can’t understand what’s happening. The question: is Win2k3 POP3 service supports MIME encoding for email attachments? And if it does then what setting could cause the service to ignore messages with binary attachments?

I have XP Home on my computer. It is a legal copy. It came installed on computer and always will be there even if reformated. I was adding a port to my network settings and it said I needed to restart my computer before they would take effect. I restarted and windows dynamic update came up. It started installing XP Pro with out any disk in the drive. I dont even own a XP disk for this to happen. Well there was no stopping this so called upgrade from happening so I waited it to complete. Once completed and rebooted it let me know that it wasnt even a legal copy of XP. Now how in the hell does something like this happen? I tried to do a system restore but…

This may not be the right forum for this question, but I was not quite sure where to post it. This has occurred recently with no updates having been made to the PC. It was first noticed with BitComet, my torrent download app, which was giving scripting errors all the time. I updated it to the latest release, but the problem remains. Whenever I change view in the app, I get a script error dialog. The other thing I noticed is that while I was looking for BitComet using Google, the search button would not work via a <return> key press. This always used to work before. I had to use the mouse to click on the search button to instigate the search. …
