When I do a search on these, they both come up as Windows XP SP2 Retail. I know E85-02665 is the US retail box version but what is E85-02674 ?? Thanks

I got home and office pc are both XP SP3. Any suggestion how do I access my work PC from home? How do I get my work PC exposed to 'public'?

I have installed Kaspersky Internet Security Suite on my Windows XP Pro - SP3 computer. The opportunity to make a rescue disk ala Bart's PE Software has been presented to me. Is there an advantage to doing this - ie. the startup disk is Virus protected or should I use Windows PE? According to Bart one advantage, and this does loom large, is that Windows is a command based system, whereas Bart's has a GUI. Anyone have any experience or advice to share? All input gratefully accepted. Mary

When I do a file open in any app, the dialogue window is very small and does not allow me to resize it. Is there any way to adjust the size of these tiny dialogue windows?

In Computer Management, Local Users & Groups, in the Profile TAB we can set: - User Profile Path - Home Folder Local Path Am wondering does anyone know how to use these? I copied my entire HARD DISK contents (via BartPE so I get full unlimited access) to a remote PC. I then fresh reinstalled Windows XP SP2 on my PC as well as creating a second partition for personal data files. Then I copied backed up "C:\Document and Settings\" entire folder from the remote PC to my second partition data drive. I have 3 user accounts to setup. I understand & know how to redirect My Documents folder (via right-click properties). But am interested in actually…

I've got new drives setup as raid 0 stripe and during XP Pro installation, it sees two different drives (C & D).. but calling both Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 ... so does this mean that windows setup DOES see this as one drive, or is there something unique I need to do in the setup so that windows only sees the raid configuration as the one drive? Each drive is SATA 500G.. Thx

Why does login script fails to map all network drives? I found that by logging off and on all the drives are mapped. Has anyone come across this issue? Is there an issue with the domain controller? Any suggestions. Thanks.

I have what I thought would be a simple project that is stumping me at the moment. I was asked to create a simple login/out file to log when a user signs in and out of a machine. I set up the script shown here: echo %COMPUTERNAME%, %USERNAME%, %date%, %TIME%, Login >> \ \mopssrv01\MISData\MOPS-LOGONS.csv Simple one line bat file that I put in as a Login Script through GP. I have another one for Logout with just the word change at the end to tell me what they were doing. This is the output that I get in my CSV. Note the first and last one has the MON as part of the date. I have looked around and must be totally blind as I dont' see where I can change …

I installed Registry Mechanic and ran the Compact Registry function but when it restarts it hangs. The advice is to restart in safe mode and double ckick are particular file in the application to trick it into thinking its run. This has worked once but now that I've tried to run the compact regisrty again I can't get to Safe mode as the keyboard is not active when I get to the Windows Startup menu. If I trick it to default to safe mode by crashing the Windoes load the keyboard is still not active at the Startup menu and the mouse is inactive if I get to Safe Mode. How can I get into Safe Mode and have an active keyboard and mouse ?

I got a call from one client today who can't open My Documents. Error: "This file or directory is corrupt and unreadable." Another client yesterday had a problem that started with a serial label printer not being detected. While troubleshooting that I tried to run a System Restore to Friday. That failed. I ran a Safe Mode System Restore to Thursday and that succeeded, but it created a new user profile tree!! If the user's original profile folder was Hanna and the computer's name was DELL, then the new profile folder was Hanna.DELL. (The same behavior you would get if you were doing a fresh reinstallion of Windows without reformatting.) The old pr…

I have a .NET 2.0 C# application that uses System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon to place an Icon in the System Tray (Quick Launch). This application does not have a visible main window. The application runs correctly under Vista Ultimate SP1, Server 2003 SP2, and XP SP2. Under XP SP3 it runs correctly when the application is started manually. However, when the application is started from the Startup folder at boot time it initializes correctly but nothing appears in the System Tray. When I investigate with Task Manager I see that the process is sitting there running. Other applications (like BOINC) that are in the Startup folder do appear in the System Tray…

I should've used the Files & Settings Transfer Wizard.. but it's too late now. I already copied my old PC entire harddrive and then wiped it clean. So am wondering is it possible to export/migrate these old PC user profiles into my new PC? I believe things like Outlook Express, MSN Messenger, and many other Microsoft programs uses GUIDs or security IDs... and the files are encrypted or cannot be opened unless it matches the user account's security ID.

Hi, I have Windows 2003 server SP2. When it starts it always gives the following error: Could not initialize communication profile: TCP/IP. Could not open a TCP/IP socket. Winsock returned error code 10013 Any help would be greatly appreciated! John

I am running the MAP Solution Accelerator to baseline a number of Server 2003 machines in terms of running them as VM's using Hyper-V on Server 2008. There is a rather intrusive status window having a cancel button showing the status. It is not minimizable. It appears that if I hit the cancel button, the assessment and logging stops altogether. Is that true? Since I plan on running this assessment for several weeks, isn't there a way to run this as a service so it persists between logon/logoff and server reboot cycles?
